One .mac and two Gmails = mess (10.5)

I had my Tiger mail set up with a .mac IMAP account and two Gmail POP accounts. After upgrading (archive & install) it all seemed OK but I couldn't delete anything from either Gmail account; I'd get an error saying it couldn't be moved to mailbox whatever. OK, I thought I'd switch those Gmail accounts to IMAP too. One of them works OK, but on the other I cannot authenticate (yes yes I checked all the names and passwords), so I had to change it back to POP because I kinda need it, and POP credentials work despite being identical (and yeah I enabled IMAP on both accounts).
Not real thrilled with the new Mail.app so far...

If you want to share the same photo stream so both your photos sync to your mac via iCloud you'll have to share the same primary iCloud account.  Set this up in Settings>iCloud on both phones using the same Apple ID, and in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac; then turn photo Stream to On.  If you want to also using iCloud to sync with your shared Address Book on your Mac, but keep your contacts separate, you'll have to create two contact groups in Address Book on your Mac - one for each of you - and drag copies of the appropriate contacts into each group.  Then turn iCloud syncing for Contacts to on on all your devices.  To view just your own contacts you'll have to open the Contacts app on each of your phones, tap Groups, then check only your own contact group to view.  When you add contacts on either phone, you'll have to add these contacts to the appropriate groups in Address Book on your Mac as you can't manage contact groups on your phone.
If you want to maintain your own calendars, the easiest thing to do is not to syncing your calendar with iCloud.  If you did, your calendars would be merged in iCal on your Mac and the merged calendar would appear on both phones.
The important thing to know is that when you share an iCloud account any data you sync with the account will be merged and appear on all devices sharing the account.  This will happen with your contacts too, but since you already have a shared Address Book on your Mac, it will stay up to date as you change/add/delete contacts on your phones.  And by using contact groups you can filter your view to just your own contacts.

  • Using TimeMachine with one Mac and two HDD

    Hi
    I was wondering if the following can be done with out loosing data and with out confusing TimeMachine:
    Using one mac and with time machine going back and forth between 2 external HDD ?
    in order to have 2 TimeMachine HDD (one at home and one on the move)
    Did one of you did try this ?
    If yes is it working fine ?
    Thanks for sharing your feed back
    Regards

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Yes, that works fine.
    The first backup to each drive will, of course, be a full one.
    Thereafter, each backup will be an "incremental" one, of all the changes that have been made to your system since the last backup +*to that drive.+*
    Of course, if you create a file at home, run a backup, then change the file and run another backup, your "home" backup will have both versions of that file. If you then do a backup to the other drive, it will only have the new version.
    The more changes you make between drive swaps, the longer the first backup after the swap will be, since there are more changes to "catch up" with. In some cases, the volume of changes may cause Time Machine to do a "deep traversal," with a longer than usual "Calculating Changes" phase, to figure out what's changed and needs to be backed up.

  • How do I use icloud with one mac and two iphones

    I have just got an iPhone 5.
    My wife and I share a macbook pro
    My wife has an iphone 4s and uses iCloud to sync photos etc.
    I want to use iCloud too, so.....how do we use iCloud so:
    - when we each take photos on our phones they sync to our mac
    - our contacts sync (can we set preferences on our individual phones so we only get the contacts we want on our iPhones from a shared address book on the mac)
    - we have individual calendars
    Any advice much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    In my family we have 3IPhones 4S, one IPhone5, one IPad3, one IPadMini and two IPad 4. Is it possible to use the same energieadapter for all of those ?

    Yes but the iPhone chargers will struggle to charge the iPads ,they need more power than the iPhone chargers produce and with an iPad will charge VERY slowly
    The iPad chargers whether 10w or 12 will happily charge all your devices and Apple confirms the compatibility on the relevant web page.

  • Trade-off between the one-arm and two-arm WAE designs

    We are configuring a WAE (model 512) for a branch office and I was wondering if someone could please tell me the trade-off between the one-arm and two-arm WAE designs..
    thanks..
    greg..

    if you are using WCCP then the WAE becomes the client withing the servcie groups 61, 62. In order to accelerate both vlans then apply the ip redirect 61 in on the client vlan ineterfaces to the one interface.
    If inline, you can use both 2 port groups for each client interface or trunk all to a single inetrface and configure which vlans you would like to accelerate.
    Now in terms of of using both GE inetrfaces, I would have to check. A topology diagram would help

  • Hash with one key and two values

    Hello,
    In java can i have a hash or similar data type than can have one value and two keys?
    thanks,
    jd

    Eh, I'd avoid arrays, personally.
    The reason why is that in my experience, once you start doing things like this, you end up adding an arbitrary number of additional elements for each key. Fixed-size arrays would be a pain.
    If you don't want/need to create an object that encapsulates the two values, why not just use a java.util.Collection as the value in the hash? The Collection -- say, a LinkedList (you decide) -- would hold the two values you want associated with the key.

  • How to transfer from one mini to another without messing up either one. I have one monitor and two minis. I do have a firewire cable but don't want a complete transfer, just specific files.

    I have done a complete fire wire transfer before but I don't want to do that. I only want to transfer certain files and leave the existing and new minis in tact otherwise. I am sure I can transfer just files. My question mostly is: I only have one monitor but will have two minis that are hooked up. Can this be done without seeing the other computer contents? I hope that makes sense. The existing mini is 10.5.8 and the new one is 10.6.

    You can start one mac up in target disk mode, get file sharing set up and then disconnect the monitor.  Monitor ports are very tolerant of connecting and disconnecting with the computer on.
    Switch the monitor to the other computer.  Start up, connect the firewire cable (after the computer has booted) and set up file sharing on that computer.  You can see the other computer's contents without controlling the other computer's mouse and/or keyboard.
    If the other computer's hard drive does not automatically show up, go to network settings and verify those settings as well.  That should not be necessary but ethernet would give you a second option for file transfers.

  • My mom and me want to use the iPod on two computers, one Mac and one Windows. Is that possible or will it destroy the iPod?

    My mom has a Windows computer, I have a Mac, and we have an iPod nano 6th generation. Is it possible to use the iPod with both the Windows and the Mac? And does it add the music and playlists but not delete?
    Thank you,

    Hey, thank you so much.
    But now: I can add Musik, but it won't load the Cs-covers and the play lists on the iPod. I did it the way they tell me to do it. I just grabbed it and put it into the iPod. I can see the lists on the computer, but not on hte iPod in the menu.
    how can I get the play lists?
    Thank you.

  • One account and two user names??? HOW??

    Hi,
    First of all, I own 5 Macs in my company, from iMac 24" to Macmini, the entire line. Use Macs since Classic model, so I'm not totally dumb... or may be I am
    It started with a problem syncing iCal and Contacts. The database files became corrupted. Checked the logs and it seemed an permissions problem. try to fixed but the problem returned.
    Of course I deleted iCal and contact files at Library, create new one and imported from backup - the same problem happened.
    Then I started to dig the problema and when I looked at my keychains I found that I have two user names "sharing" the same user account...how?? one is marcio and other is Marcio Esteves.
    I can't find any reference to this second user name apart from keychain. Tryied to delete the keychain and create a new one but the same... When trying to fix the keychain it show me this:
    Verification started
    Checking keychain configuration for marcio (user ID=502)
    Home directory is /Users/marcio
    Checked login keychain
    Checked default keychain
    Checked contents of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
    No problems found
    Verification completed
    Verification started
    Checking keychain configuration for Marcio Esteves (user ID=502)
    Home directory is /Users/marcio
    Checked login keychain
    Checked default keychain
    Checked contents of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
    No problems found
    Verification completed
    Of course I can format the HD and re-install from the scratch but I'm curious because, as far as I know, user names and accounts can not be duplicated.
    The only thing that occurs to me is when I bought this machine - MB pro 2.4 - I imported the account from my previous MB pro AFTER change user name from "marcio" to "Marcio Esteves", keeping the same home directory name as "marcio" (as still today).
    So, how can I fix it without formatting and installing everything again??

    Every account on a Mac has two names. These names are called different things depending on the version of the OS and whether you are looking at the System Preferences|Accounts panel or the Workgroup Manager on a server. The "Name" or "Full Name" and the "Short Name" or "Account Name". The short name is the typical unix username. and the full name is just that, your full name. The Mac allows you to use either of these in any of the GUI dialog boxes that ask for your user name and password. At the command line I think you can only use your short name. I see that in OS X 10.6, once you create an account, you cannot see the short name in the System Preferences|Accounts panel any longer.
    At a command line (in the Terminal application for example) you can type id or whoami to see your short name.
    I think it is probably normal for entries in your keychain to refer to both or either of these names.
    As for creating new accounts and copying files I think you should be able to do most of that when logged in as an admin user (which you don't normally do, right?).
    Does that help?
