Photoshop CS6 - 'Two computers at same time' question

Hi guys.
I've tried searching for this question before but I couldn't find a definitive answer to it in the threads (maybe that's for a reason!). Now, clearly the TOS stipulate about using PS on one computer at a time. I understand that, as otherwise you could give a copy to a friend, for example. However, for work purposes it would be helpful for me to have the program open on two of my computers here in my household at the same time; of course I'd only be actively at one computer at any given moment so not technically using the other, but it would be open. It would also be using the same internet connection because of this (just in case that's a 'thing' worth mentioning).
My question is really this: Is the 'one computer' requirement actively enforced via the software (a little like the monthly (or so?) online validation of the software serial), or is it more of a 'Please just don't do this' type of deal? I can ensure people my reasons are legitimate but I don't want to risk installing again in case I'm 'flagged' and lose access to expensive software that I can ill afford to replace.
Many thanks for any and all answers.

ave the program open on two of my computers here in my household at the same time; of course I'd only be actively at one computer at any given moment so not technically using the other, but it would be open.
My experience with this is that nothing deactivates but, upon launching the second copy on the same network, a window appears saying that two copies have been launched and the first copy should first be closed if you wish to continue using the second copy.
So I've never been able to run the software on two computers simutaneously on the same network.

How can I open multiple files as Photoshop Raw files at the same time for Photoshop CS6 extended on a PC?

I am trying to open 20-25 files at the same time as Photoshop Raw [*.RAW] files.
The only way I can open multiple files is if i leave the file type as All Formats. When I change it to Photoshop Raw [*.RAW], the files a deselected.

Use bridge. Select all the files then press ctrl-r or cmd-r to load the selected files into camera raw.
If you try this in Photoshop use File>Open As then for file type choose camera raw. (I have not tested open as for opening multiple files)

Can two computers use same iTunes library on a network drive?

Can two computers use directly (rather than share) the same iTunes library on a network drive?
My media library is on a network drive attached to my Airport Extreme. Right now I share the library with my desktop Mac. I can share fine, but I would like to be able to add, delete, and make other changes in the media library from both computers. The two computers would not be accessing the library at the same time as I am the sole user of both.

I appreciate your input and I think you're right about this being impossible. But just to clarify, you say I can't "have multiple machines accessing the same music files from a shared location." I can have multiple machines accessing the same music files from a shared location--I just can't have them accessing the same music files simultaneously--which may have been what you meant. For my situation, I think it will be less work to just quit iTunes on my server when I want to run it on my client (using Chicken of the VNC). It's not ideal, but it's less time-consuming than periodically syncing three computers.
Again, thanks for the input.

Can two computers share same ITunes library over Airdisk?

Hi all,
I have a Macbook and a PowerPC G5 and a Drobo (external hard drive) hooked up to my AEBS with only ITunes music stored on it.
I want to be able to edit and browse my ITunes library from both my G5 (which I can already do) and my MacBook (which I can't). When I try to change my ITunes library location from within my MacBook, nothing shows up. It's a blank library, even though I can edit and browse the Drobo (as an Airdisk) through the finder. How can I edit and browse my ITunes library from my Macbook if my G5 is also using the same library? Two more quick points...
1) I have tried the "sharing" feature and don't want to use it. It doesn't allow editing of my library and won't show cover art.
2) The above situation happens whether my G5 ITunes is open or closed.
Thanks everybody for your help.

They aren't using a single library. Each computer is using its own copy and you have two sets of library files. It can certainly be done that way but if between copy sessions you edit a bit of each library then it is a bit of a muddle trying to make sure your versions are synchronized with each other. For example, ratings are stored only in the .itl file, so if you rate a song on your second computer it will get lost the next time you copy over from your first.

Connect two ipods at same time?

I have a fortunate problem/question. My son got a nano ipod and I got a 30MB ipod. We both would like to charge them and get running. Can you connect both at the same time? I have two USB ports and could physically do it. I know that you can use multiple units with a single computer, but there is nothing about charging them at the same time in the documentation.
Thanks

I've had 3 ipods connected at the same time. They all show up under Devices.

Can't Open Two images at same time

Fading Two sides of a video, and in between Two at the same time?

I'm terribly sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search but I couldn't find a similar question so again, I apologize.
Could someone tell me how to do these things?:
I have a split screen video (I know how to do that), and I want to fade one side out to black, and fade it back in throughout
the video.
Also, if I have one video (not split screen, just one fullscreen video), fade it between two videos (so that you can see both videos at the same time for a bit, kind of "ghost like", and then it will eventually transition to the other video). This effect is used in a lot of music videos, or Especially in a movie when time is passing by (like years) or there is a "flashback". You can see two videos at the same time on top of one another.
Again, sorry for the trouble, but if anyone has an answer thank you in advance!

Running 2 copies of VS 2012 Pro at the same time -- question

I have two projects that I want to work on at the same time (neither shares files from the other so they are independent) -- one is actually a class library (DLL) and the other is an application, but the application doesn't point to the compiled DLL automatically
(I have to manually copy it to the application's folder to use the compiled version so they are not directly interacting with eachother in any way).
So, I've found that you can run multiple instances of VS with different projects open... but here's my problem: sometimes it loads files from one project in the other IDE window, and causes issues when I flip back and forth between instances of VS (basically
keeps telling me that the document was updated outside of VS -- as in, the other IDE instance--and needs to be reloaded).
So, long story short, it displays the errors and source code file in whichever instance of VS I'm currently working with (or whichever instance is test "running" the app; so for example, if I"m working on the app and an error in the class
lib occurs, it displays the source code files in the IDE that has the app open, not the class lib. So if I flip back to the class lib instance of VS, I get the warning messages about files being updated outside of VS).
Is there a way to tell VS to keep the two separate or just display an error and not try to open the source code file that has the error when one occurs?
It's more of an annoyance than anything, but I would like to be able to flip back and forth without issues because now that I've found you can have multiple instances open, I can get more done faster (with the exception of this "problem").
Ideas?

My first thought is that, since only one of your projects is an application (the other is a DLL) why not have a single solution that builds both projects and work on them in a single instance of Visual Studio?
I ask this because you cannot launch a DLL project directly. And if you only ever plan to run code in your DLL by running the exe, then just have them in the same solution and use them in the same IDE.
What is the benefit to you of having two separate instances of Visual Studio running? (Particularly given that it's giving you a headache while debugging.)
You can "flip back and forth" as you specified, but only if you're debugging two different processes -- each IDE would need to be debugging its own process. If you know what exception you're expecting because you're debugging a particular
issue then you can leave the debugger detached, and then when you get the unhandled exception you can choose which running instance of visual studio to attach (or select to launch a new instance.)
As far as I can tell, it sounds like you are debugging a program composed of multiple projects (an exe and a dll). They should simply be in the same solution and you can debug them together in a single IDE. You can open windows from either
project. Not sure what having two IDEs is getting you.

Using multi-threading: Setting a VI to be used for two sequences at same time

I have two sequences running as two different threads. This is supposed to be in parallel but both sequences access the same VI, then they're not executing as parallel because one sequence use this VI then liberates it and the other sequence use it, and so on consecutively until both sequences finish. This is not what I want.
How can I do to set this VI with any kind of property or something that can be accessed for both sequences at the same time?
Thanks,

Hi Margarita, you can set a VI to be reentrant (under VI Setup»Execution Options from TestStand, this function can also be used from LabVIEW) . Now depending on the king of VI you are using this can be something safe or can cause trouble. If the VI needs to keep information (for example a Functional Global Variable) or it is handling Hardware it can give you errors (for example trying to access the same DAQ at the same time from different task.
If you need more information can you tell us what does this VI does?

RV042 VPN Client Access not able to connect two users at same time

I have a RV042 and have set it up for VPN Client access using the QuickVPN client to connect my remote users. I discovered today that I cannot have two users connect in at the same time. Both users are in the same remote office. They can connect individually with no problem but if one is connected and the other tries connect also the second user gets a message the gateway is not responding. They are both running WinXPPRo SP3. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Were your QuickVPN clients behind a firewall router of some sort? For multiple QuickVPN clients to be able to connect to the remote RV042 at the same time, the local firewall router must have VPN Passthrough correctly implemented. You could try using a RV042 as the firewall router for your QuickVPN clients and you should be able to maintain 2 tunnels at the same time to the remote RV042.

Connect to two routers at same time?

I connect to internet throught router #1
Set up time capsule as stand alone (i.e. did not join network on router #1). Let's call time capsule router #2
When I look at my wifi, I have to join router #1 and get internet access, and no access to files on time capsule OR join router #2 with access to files, but no internet access.
Any way to join both networks (routers) at the same time?
I know, I could set up time capsule to join the netwrk on router #1, but as stand alone, file transfer is faster.
Thanks.

It is not possible for the AirPort networking feature of your Mac to be connected to two wifi networks simultaneously.
If you're going to use the Time Capsule for backup only, you're probably better off buying a FireWire hard drive since that will be much faster than any wifi-based backup device.
Alternatively, connect your Time Capsule to "router #1" with an ethernet cable and then you can use it both for your wifi connection and backups.
If you don't need to use "router #1" then just use the Time Capsule - it's a very good router and wifi hub.

Print on two printers at same time.

Hi gurus,
I need to print a form in two printers at the same time. If its possible with SAP.?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Juan

Hi friend,
Yes it is possible for configuration go to NACE and select the Procedure and then the relevant output condition and in details you will find something called Print option and there you have different options for the print based on user, sales organsation etc.
Hope the answer will help you.

Operating two Vis at same time

First time posting here on NI, need some help with setting up a Labview program. A little background so you know what we are attempting to do and the level of skills involved in it. I'm a undergrad research assistant and I have never used labview before until I started on this project and just have a basic understand of the program now. All the programs involved in this were written before I started on the project by other undergrad and grad students. So any answers will probably have to be dumbed down to a noobs level for me. Here is our problem :
We have two VIs that we are having to run at the same time. The First VI is a program that we use to run a automated arm/probe. It is setup to run manually by using the arrow keys on the keyboard or we have a grid system setup on our test box and can tell it were to travel too by inputting the x y cords into the program. The second VI is a safety loop, the testing we are doing is dealing with EM fields and detection of them. We have equipment that generates the field inside the test box but we can not allow it to get over a certain watts level. The second program was designed to detect when we reached this level and turn the system off for safety. Both of the programs work just fine.
So here is the problem, we can not run them at the same time which is an issue. Anytime they try and run them together the system bogs down then crashes or they just fail to load and run at the same time.
Here is the solution I would like to try and find. What is the best, fastest and simplest way to link both of this programs as a single VI that wouldn't take a lot of programming and knowledge. Basically the programming team that made the VIs is gone now. If needed I an post the VIs. Thanks for any help or input

I would guess that your programs are not programmed very efficiently and are running with what are known as greedy loops. That is, the VIs have a loop in them but don't provide any means for LabVIEW to switch between tasks. One, or both, are starving the CPU which causes your execution issues. Even some as simple as adding a Wait(0) to the loop will help to prevent greedy loops from occuring. Additionally, they could have issues with maintaining memory and do things like allowing arrays to grow infinitely large. Without seeing the code though it will be difficult to give you specific advice.

Delivering two videos at same time

I am trying to simulate a software-instructional classroom by showing two (720x480) videos at the same time. One video showing the instructor in the classroom and the other of the instructor's computer screen.
The first video (of the classroom) would be shot using standard DV footage shot with a Sony PD 170.
The second "video" (screen capture video) would be captured using software such as SnapZ Pro, Camtasia, or similar software. It is important that this "video" be as large as possible to show the detail of the software.
If displaying two (720 x480) videos at the same time is not possible, does anyone have suggestions for producing a full size screen capture video (larger than 720x480) with the ability to place the (720x480) instructor video in a corner of the screen capture video?
Is this possible with FCP or any other application?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I came up with an interesting workflow for this.
There are three challenges:
1. SnapZ will create files that QT/FCP will interpret as 10fps no mater what you do. I don't know if this has been fixed yet. This post describes the workaround and this post describes the underlying reasons for the issue.
2. using a display resolution higher than 720x480 will allow you to zoom into areas of the interface to show detail, but will require rendering when combining with SD footage in an SD sequence.
3. Even if you use snapZ to record a 720x480 display, the 10fps issue and format difference may still require lots of rendering.
Sooooo, here's what I did:
I recorded snapZ movies at "full" display resolution. This allowed me to do some zooms in post. You can also zoom in real time with a bit of rehearsal by using the ctrl-scroll ball trick.
I planned to edit the screen caps in two stages, first to cut for timing at full-res, and second to combine with SD footage and add the zooms and other graphics.
I created sequences native to the full-res clips' format using the "make multiclip sequence" command.
I fixed the frame rate by placing each one into a sequence at full resolution, but with the correct frame rate, then re-exporting to new quicktimes. You may find it helpful to create a sequence preset with these settings. Your list of sequence presets will be the same list of formats you can choose for a batch export.
Once I had cut for timing in a full-res sequence, I took the contents and pasted them into an SD sequence, using paste attributes to scale them all down to fit. Now I had the hi-res clips in an SD sequence that I could zoom into without them just looking like blurry crud.
Alternatively, there are other hardware solutions you can use to get HD video out of the computer, but you'll need another computer or recording device to capture it. AJA, Blackmagic, and Matrox have capture cards that can output your desktop as HD video. You can also just get a simple DVI to HDMI adapter, but all of these solutions lack the simplicity of SnapZ's one-system-no-recorder setup. SnapZ also allowed me to record more than 2 tracks of audio, in my case the "live" voiceover and the stereo output of the music software we were demoing.
One more option to avoid rendering during cutting if you have to mix formats with the SnapZ workflow is to create DV proxy footage of the hi-res, then reconnect to the HD at the end. However, this requires the fame rates to match, and assigning matching timecode and reel, if applicable, after re-importing to FCP and before reconnecting.
Hope this helps, or at least made some interesting reading, if you made it this far.

Recording two tracks at same time

I want to record guitar on one track and vocal on another at the same time. At the moment I have two ways this might work: I have an Apogee Jam interface for the guitar and A Dual Tube audio inferface for the mic. Or, theoretically, I could plug the guitar into one of the two instrument/XLR inputs on the Dual Tube. When I use option one, with the two different interfaces (Jam and Dual) Logic Audio preferences will only let me choose one "device" as input. Not both. If I use just the Dual Tube with Guitar and mic plugged in to the L and R inputs, they go to the same track, since the Dual is seen as one single Input device. I cant even arm a second track for recording. The sound isn't bad, but I can't mix the tracks independently of each other. Any ideas how to come up with two separate tracks at the same time, or do I have to simply record the Guitar first and add vocals later? THat's what I've always done, but wanted a "live" feel this time. I just switched from Logic Express to Logic Pro X. Thanks in advance for any help!

You can create an aggregate device for a couple of different interfaces in the Audio MIDI Setup OS utility and select that in Logic's Preferences/Devices tab - I've never had to do it myself, so I couldn't be sure it works well with all devices.
It isn't me, but if it were I'd want to record them separately anyway, just for concentration on performance of each element, that's the difference between making good audio and making something that sounds like a proper record, no matter how simple or complex the music is.
