Pages on multiple Macs

I am a doctor and use Pages for medical charting. I need to have all my "Auto-Correct" and Dictionaries to be the same for all the Macs. How do I get my settings from my laptop to another computer running Pages (Auto-correct data). Thanks.

I can't answer exactly because I've only recently returned to using Pages myself, but you can look into the .plist files for Pages that are buried in the Preferences folder in your Library. Go to that directory and search it for pages and you'll see three. You can QuickLook them if you have the patience to parse the info but I'd suggest copying them over 1 by 1 to see which each contains.
If you need Templates, those are saved in an iWork folder in Application Support in your Library.
Good luck.

How do I install lion to multiple macs with a single download from the Mac App Store?

I want to upgrade multiple Macs, but I don't want to download the update multiple times.
Has Apple posted instructions on this? My searches have been in vain.

Upgrading to OS X 10.7 FAQ
Backup your user files and folders manually (drag and drop) from all partitions/OS's installed to a external powered drive and disconnect this drive, before proceeding in addition to TimeMachine, Bootable Clones etc.
You need to make sure you're running the latest version of Snow Leopard10.6.8
Click the "Apple" symbol in the top left corner of your screen and select "About This Mac."
Make sure you're running version 10.6.8.
If not, click "Software Update" from the same Apple menu and update your system.
Then when that's finished launch the MacAppStore from the same menu.
You'll see the giant Lion banner across the top. Click on it.
This brings you to the app page for Lion. It costs $29.99 -- click the price, then click "Buy App."

These are user to user support forums and Apple doesn't respond here,
We users can't speak for Apple about your free Lion status or problems downloading, reissuing a download.
It's possible Apple could be spacing out the downloads as not to knock theservers offline. So be patient.
If after a week or so when the initial rush is over, and you still haven't gotten your Lion, I suggest you contact Apple.
Mission critical
If your using Mac's in a mission critical type environment or have third party hardware or software you must rely upon working correctly. It's advised to wait until all the bugs, driver updates, third party software and other issues are resolved before upgrading. This might take several months. Then if you do so, do one machine at a time andcarefully test everything before full deployment.

Can i have pages on multiple devices or do i have to pay for it again?

Can i have pages on multiple devices (Ipad and MacBook pro) or do i have to pay for it again?
I already have Pages in my ipad and i´m wondering if there is any way to pass it to my computer

The Apple I.D. is only used for purchases from iTunes and the Mac App Store so should not be confused with your User log-in.
Just use the one Apple I.D. (his) when you install and you'll be fine.
Uninstall it and reinstall it "for all users", which was an option given to you at the time.

Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
Please help.

It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.

Multiple .Mac accounts, on one Admin account on one computer

Hello all,
I am trying to have multiple .Mac accounts to publish independent iWeb websites on unique domains (the apple iweb provided ones) but it appears I can only have one .Mac account on my computer's network user to do the easy one click Publish button to.
I don't want to use multiple user accounts on my computer as I'd like to have access to all my photos, music, videos and everything else and easily do so without logging out from my main account.
What am I missing?
Many thanks,
Michael

The only safe and easy method is multiple user accounts.
You can easily store your iPhoto and music Libraries on an external drive and share them between accounts.

Using a seagate external drive with multiple macs

i got a 1TB seagate external hard drive for backup and transfer purposes... it had a little program to help set it up and i set it up for use with mac and pc ( only onther option was stricty this computer.) it works on my computer and a pc but when i tried transfering files from another older mac i have it showed that i could only read on that computer...
how can i get it to work with multiple macs...?

I have the oldest macbook (1.83. 2 gigs ram, 60 gig internal hard drive)
I have all my logic content on my external maxtor firewire 400 drive (usb 2.0 is actually faster than firewire 400) and everything is fine. the good thing is if your external drive has 7200rpm, but the ones with 5600rpm should do as well.
Once you drag your apple loops to logic from your external drive, logic will remember for the next visit. And when you are opening a project which is on the external drive , just find it with logic finder and all should be fine.

One Apple ID on multiple macs to use for iCloud?

We have one "business" apple ID for multiple macs in my office for ease of purchasing. Now, we'd like to use the same apple ID to sync our data via iCloud. I was wondering if it would create conflict if we only used one apple ID to sync multiple macs and would it create conflict with iCloud?

I don't believe there would be any conflicts. I'm not sure whether you intended sharing your contacts or some of your contacts between you but you can do either (indeed you don't need to share contacts if you don't want).
You might also take a look at this User Tip, to ensure you understand the differences between the different accounts in Address Book

Time machine multiple macs sharing one HD via Wifi

I need help with time machine app.
I would like to use one external hd for multiple macs to backup with time machine.
I read about different method, the one that I think is better for me is to sharing the HD on a network.
I have one Imac and two macbook.
What I did is to connect the HD to the Imac and than I shared the HD volume with sharing files.
I create two accounts for the macbooks and then I connected them.
So far so good.
But I din't use this network configuartion for the first backup, what I did instead was to connects the different computers one by one with thunderbolt.
Now I had to change the destination dirve from the old HD (connected via thunderbolt) and the "new" shared HD - actually is the same drive!
I thought that the macbook time machine app just recognize the last backup and just makes a new one from that point.
But it seems doing a new backup. (Last backup: none)
It creates a new file Macbook of Alessandro.sparsebundle
Any tips?
thanks in advance

Pages App on Mac won't open documents created on iPad

My pages app on my mac wouldn't open documents created on my iPad, it said that I needed to down load the newest version which I belive I had. So I put it in the trash hoping I could re install but now I can't open it at all :-(

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

How do i sync iphone with multiple macs? and few questions

Hi
I would appreciate if anyone would help me.
1. I would like to know how to sync my iphone with different macs. I have a macbook 13 and a macbook 15 and would like to use BOTH to be able to transfer data without losing them. (address, apps, photos and music)
would like to use this feature if I were to be suddenly on a trip and a friend would like to share some of his files (audio, apps, photos..etc)
2. is it possible to use internet tethering on multiple macs or example a "spontanious" mac? (ex. if I were suddenly to use internet through usb on a friends mac while we were on a trip but it were programmed on my mac at home)
3. my internet tethering is only working on one mac which I usually use to sync everything... i tried just using tethering through usb on the other mac wihtout any sync but somehow it didnt work... usually i just plug and play and start using firefox... by automatic detection...
4. is there also a way to copy files from iphone onto a mac which would not be one of my libraries?
5. why cant i use iphone like the ipod as a disk use?
I am aware that these things are somewhat possible because i have read quiet a few artivles but they are sadly enough not so current... any help appreciated.

#1: As has been said, you can't get around it. An iPhone cannot be synched to more than one computer for any media content (it can be for contacts and calendar information, I believe).
#4: You can transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store to another computer but only if you disallow synchronization and authorize that computer to your iTunes Store account. There are third-party utilities that can transfer non-iTunes Store content.
#5: there is no disk mode in an iPhone and no way to enable one, at least not in the sense of disk mode in earlier iPods. There are third-party apps that allow some file transfer to and from an iPhone.
I can't help with tethering questions.

Same Account on Multiple Macs?

I am setting up a new Mac Mini to be used primarily as the "accounting computer". But it will also serve as a backup computer for the 3 users on my main Mac Pro when multiple users want on at the same time. So how do I handle the set-up of the new Mini? Should I create 3 identical users, with their same login names & passwords, on the 2nd Mac? i.e. So when I need to get on to check email, but my main puter is in use by another user, I can jump on the Mini & have updated access to my email??? Secondly, how do I keep Mail, Calendar, etc in sync on both machines?

My best suggestion would be to set your people up on one of the computers and have then share their home directories with password protection. You may want to do this on whichever system has more hard drive space. Then set them up again on the alternate system and make sure that they can connect to the main system to access their home directories. If you can train and/or convince your users to keep all of their files on the home directory space that resides on the main system, it could work.
This is more along the lines of what I had in mind. The use on the alt computer will only be to do a quick email check... I am in the process of setting all email accounts up as IMAPs... or internet surfing, etc. Any tasks that involve files from the main box will have to be accessed through sharing, then saved back to their account on that main puter... and this will be on occasion at most. And now that I've said all this, I can think of several instances where I've needed to interrupt someone because I needed to check my calendar... have yet to use iSync - does something like this allow me to sync my iCal to another computer?
So how should I handle the users on the 2nd Mac? Should I set up all the accounts there too... even if it might be for occasional use? And if I'm setting up individual accts, can I set up accts with the same login names & PW's on multiple Macs that are networked, without issue?
It just dawned on me that if someone is surfing the internet on the alt box, they might need their favs over there... although I'm the only user w/an extensive favs list. Truth be told, my network is a home business network. So far, the only other users on the main Mac are my kids... the network serves for home biz/personal tasks. One of my kids is a college student who uses the computer for all basic tasks plus web design & Photoshopping. Point is, I'm just looking for the best, simple solution.

IDVD burning one project on multiple macs? where are project contents?

How do I burn one project on multiple macs? I have a idvd project I created in keynote, added music to it in Garageband, exported to quicktime, and now is in iDVD burning just fine. However I have tons of these dvd's to make, I would like to put all my mac's to work.
last night i tried to share the file, and it is just an alias when i drag it over from the macbook it was created on to my imac. the file says it is in use and locked, since the macbook that created it is burning it. If I wanted to brun on the imac, I had to wait until the macbook was done.
is there a way around this? What if I copied all files I used to make the idvd project to my imac or any computer i wanted to burn on? woudl it hen allow two macs to be burning the same project?
I figured I could do this just like on my PC, drag the file over and voila...no such luck, its like if i had dragged a shortcut over to another pc...if the first one is using the file, its locked. Basically how do i get to the actual contents of the project, so I can also bring them over and hopefully it will allow me to burn on multiple macs at the same time?
my next solution if that didn't work was to start copying dvd's using popcorn on the other macs while the macbook continues burning through idvd.
Any opinions on how i can duplicate a dvd fast...need alot of copies!

Also as to where the files are.
I-DVD project bundle: This is the file created when you save the project.
• [user]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located in your home folder.
• [root]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located at the root of your disk.
• /Network/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is on a network system specifically
configured by your system administrator for this purpose. (This is not the same as
having a server networked into your computer.)

How do I manage multiple macs on my Time Capsule?

I have a 2 TB Time Capsule 4th generation w/ multiple macs backing up to it. I want to be able to manage ALL files on Time Capsule. Is there a way for me to see all the data from all macs on time capsule, and delete those files if necessary? (This has to do with my kids going off to college and me needing to free-up space.)

See item #17 of this post.
If you want to delete all Time Machine backups for a particular Mac, just mount the Time Capsule's disk (probably called "Data" unless you renamed it), then drag the appropriate "sparsebundle" file to the trash.
