PC AND Laptop can I use both?

I've searched 23pgs of this forum and can't see an answer to what i'm attempting to do. Scenario is: Desktop pc with external HD attached, wireless networked with my laptop. Is it possible to access itunes (installed on the external) from the laptop and not have it reset my ipod everytime. Basically I want to access my library/playlists etc from the laptop to try to organize etc. Possible or not... and if so how would I go about doing it.
Thx

I can't exactly make out everything you want to do from your description. But take note of these suggestions.
Enable Windows file sharing on the external hard drive.
Install the freeware utility UltraVNC on both the laptop and the desktop, and use it to control the desktop from the laptop.

    How can I use both, Windows PC and iMac, when using WiFi?. It is either-or. What can I do?

    What does this have to do with using an iPad?
    But yes, you should be able to connect to your home WiFi network with multiple computers and devices. In my house my wife, my daughter and I will all be using the WiFi Internet connection at the same time with our Laptops and I will also be using my iPad, my daughter uses her iPhone, and we have no issues at all.
    Is this what you want to know about?

    Hi silverbird,
    Your subscription allows you to use ExportPDF from a supported web browser on any device--you don't need a separate subscription for separate devices. When you say you can't get it to work on your laptop--do you mean you're unable to log in? Do you get a particular error message? Please let me know what's happening on your laptop, and we will take it from there.
    Best,

    You can use your iPad charger to charge your iPhone 4S. Not recommended to use your iPhone charger to charge your iPad. So, use your iPad charger to charge both.

  • Can I use BOTH IE & FF and retain the shortcuts to both to use at will?

    Can I use BOTH IE & FF and retain the shortcuts to both to use at will? I can download FF ok and use for a day or so along with IE, but after that I start to get messages from Windows saying IE is not my default browser and do I want to make it the default. If I answer no, many links in my windows mail and other links in the windows system don't work...I get a message that the file can't be found . If I answer yes, the FF shortcuts disappear and can't bring up the FF from the FF folder, I get a msg that the FF folder is corrupt!

    Hi, aparently we're a problem while you installed firefox. try to uninstall and reinstall firefox again,
    after you do that, open firefox and go to Tools>options>Advanced>General, and see that it have to be an option at last that sez "always check to see if firefox is the default browser on startup" uncheck that option.,
    Then go to IE, go to tools>internet options>programs>and clic on "Make Default".
    With this you make that IE the default browser.
    Bye

  • Can I use both iPhoto 6 and 5 on the same Mac?

    I gave up on iPhoto 6 when it comes to publishing web galleries (see my posts at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=456532&tstart=0 )
    Can I use both iPhoto 6 and 5 on the same Mac?
    Thanks!

    Lior:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes you can but it takes a lot of caution! You can have both application running their own library. But the problem comes in when you launch V5 into the last used library, a V6 library, and it can corrupt that library so it won't open in V6 again. Conversely, if you open V6 and the V5 library was the last to be opened and you don't pay attention, you'll convert it to a V6 and lose the V5 access.
    So you have to make sure you ALWAYS launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and manually select the library to use each time. Also Name each library differently. I use V6 LIbrary and V5 Library. You can rename your current one and then launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and navigate to it to open it.

  • HT201328 When I unlock can i use both the AT&T SIM and also the new carrier which I got unlocked to

    If I unlock through AT&T can I use both AT&T carrier as well as the new carrier

    as one of the other repliers indicated (implicitly) - you can complete the unlock using your original sim card - to complete the unlock you have to restore the phone in itunes - if its unlocked you should get a message from itunes that says
    Congratulations your iPhone is now unlocked
    but the only way you will really know it worked is to use a different sim card
    that what i did - i
    1) restored the iPhone with the original sim card and got the congratulations message
    2) installed a pre-paid sim card from another carrier and made an received a phone call

  • Can you use both an employee discount and a military discount on one account?

    Can you use both an employee discount and a military discount on one account?

    No.
    You can only have one ELEU (Employee Corporate Discount) on an account
    So choose the one that has the greater percentage which is probably the military.

  • HT4818 Can you use both Bootcamp and Parallels with the same Windows 7 installed

    I have Parallels installed with Windows 7.  Can I use both Bootcamp and Parallels on the same machine depending on whether I just want to work in Windows all day (Bootcamp) or alternate during the same session (Parallels)?

    You can, yes. But there is a complication: once you activate windows it will only be activated for one of the two methods you use. So, let's say you install into boot camp and activate windows. You can then install Parallels and it will find your boot camp installation, but when running in Parallels, Windows will report that it is not activated. Or, you can activate it in Parallels and when running in Boot Camp Windows will report that it is not activated. The reason for this is because Windows thinks it is running on different computers depending on how you boot it. This may not be an issue for you if you run Windows a lot one way and just occasionally the other way, so be sure to activate Windows in whichever method you use more often. Hope this helps!

  • Can I use both SID and SERVICE_NAME in my DG configuration?

    Hello,
    Need little guidance for the following senario
    I've got a shared database where more then one application connects to. To configure failover from primary to standby, I need SERVICE_NAME'ing but my applications connect using SID naming conventions to this DB
    Can I use both SID and SERVICE_NAME in DG configuration + make the applications failover to STANDBY DB as well?
    Regards,
    Kam

    You will hardly achieve a proper connect to your new Primary using SIDs after switchover.
    Stay away from using SID - connects with your applications and use application services for that instead.
    Kind regards

    my photoshop elements and Lightroom serial numbers won't work for my new mac. I bought these softwares via download on my windows laptop but returned that laptop because the quality was not great. I decided to buy a mac and now can't use my serial numbers to download the software.

    Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files.  If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account.  You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

    The calendar language is determined by system prefs/language & text/formats.

    I have a phone in Canada and one in the us.  Can I use both phones on the us account and or the canadian account??

    You have to be in a country to use its store (that is part of the store's terms), so whilst you are in the US you can use the phone(s) that you have with you to buy/download from the store, and similarly when you are in Canada and the Canadian store - you can use the same account on both phones.

  • Can i use both windows and OS X in the same hardisk

    I want to install windows 7 ultimate(64 bit) on imac but if i install it can i use both OS X and windows in the same hardisk or do i have to plug in an external hardisk and can i still use OS X or only apple??

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. You can install Windows and OS X in the same hard drive, because that's the purpose of Boot Camp.
    I see you are using OS X Mavericks, so you can install Windows 7 or 8 in Boot Camp > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US Then, follow these steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf
    After installing Windows, your Mac will start up in Windows by default. In order to choose in which operating system you want to start up, just hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting up.
    If you do not want to do heavy tasks in Windows, another option you should consider is to install Windows in a virtual machine with the use of an app like VMware Fusion, VirtualBox or Parallels. This way is more secure and there's no risk to harm your Mac.
