Running FCE on Two Macs

Hey
I'm wondering if it is possible to run the same copy of FCE on 2 or more Macs. I'm guessing it will not, but if u could help, it would be appreciated.
Thanx!
iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

One bit of advice . . . if you are running FCE on two separate computers in the same location, i.e. like at home, and the two computers are hooked up to a network, you can't run FCE on both computers at the same time. Only one computer can be running FCE. However, the workaround to it is to turn off the airport base station or turn off the airport card on one of the computers.

  • Can I run more than two Mac OS X virtual guests on a Mac host?

    The way I read the Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite license (http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/OSX1010.pdf), I am not allowed to run more than two (2) virtualized  Yosemite guests on a Mac virtual host:
    (iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software
    within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is
    already running the Apple Software, for purposes of: (a) software development; (b) testing during
    software development; (c) using OS X Server; or (d) personal, non-commercial use.
    There's no exception for running guests on a large Mac Pro, or anything like that.
    I just want to confirm I'm interpreting this part of the license correctly?  Thanks for any feedback!

    Don't think that this will work, despite PSE 8 not being that old. Undoubtedly some of the security and file system changes in OSX 10.7 and 10.8 are at play here thast the installer can't cope with... Consider getting PSE 11.

  • Syncing photos and catalogue over two Macs, using Box

    There's me thinking I was dead clever. I use Box for my business filing, so have unlimited storage and can sync to my two Macs. But it turns out that Box can only sync 40,000 files, and, the killer is, it won't sync the catalogue previews file. These are things they plan to sort in their summer update.
    So, there's me thinking I could use Box to run Lightroom on two Macs, in the field and at home, all nicely syncronised. But it's not quite going to work. I'm wondering if I can just copy the previews file back and forth over my home network, and let Box sync the rest.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    thanks

    Sure you can copy the previews baqck and forth. But have you looked at the size of the Preview folder? This isn't a 10-second job, this is a huge copy. But if you want to, go right ahead.
    But, why bother? Lightroom will regenerate its own previews if needed. If you've got everything else synched, having the previews match on both machines seems to me to be irrelevant, LR will generate/update the previews when needed.

    You stated; " I have been successful with My Power Mac "
    A Power Mac is incapable of being upgraded to Mavericks. It is a PPC Mac which can only run versions of OS X up to 10.5.8 and no higher. Any version of OS X higher that 10.5.8 requires an Intel processor to run.
    Does the iMac meet the hardware requirements for Mavericks?

  • Cannot use File Sharing Between Two Macs Running tiger

    I have a G3 Desktop and a Platinum powerbook connected wirelessly using an Airport Extreme. I used to be able to easily share files between the two Macs but since upgrading to Tiger on both machines and loading the latest software upgrades and Airport firmware, running Disk Utility, setting preferences to turn on AppleTalk and file sharing, file sharing does not work. It worked one time after downloading the new Airport firmware but now I cannot find the other computer on the Airport network. There are only two computers on the Airport network. Does anybody have any ideas?

    Problem solved by reading the reply to dkolenda's post earlier today. I turned off UDP traffic blocking inthe firewall settings and now both computers can see each other and share files.
    Thanks!

    No, you do NOT need to uninstall before

  • I have two macs running lion.

    I have two macs running lion. Can I wirelessly transfer files from one to the other or do I need to move files to a USB device? I thought therre was a mac program that did that.

    AirDrop is not necessary, it merely makes it more seemless.
    You can use simple file sharing over any Mac network:
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1549
    Note gigabit ethernet is fastest, Firewire 800 is next, then is Firewire 400, then is 802.11n, and 802.11g for networking. I would not have an 802.11b or 802.11a network unless you aren't anywhere within 1500 feet (500 meters) of someone who could sniff out your network, as wireless security at those speeds is easily breached.
    If you have Firewire 400 or 800 cables and the supported ports, Target Disk Mode is a lot easier to setup for moving files around:

  • Firefox problems on one of two Macs running Mountain Lion

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on my two Macs. On the MacBook Air using Firefox 14.0.1 some pages in "my account" at Amazon's site and the my.yahoo.com portal (when signed in to the account) are wonky. '''Note: the portal page of my.yahoo.com looks fine if you are not signed in. It only gets jumbled if you're trying to view the custom home page for your account.''' The same is true of Amazon. the general site looks fine; it's only when you try to view deeper pages, such as "my account." I've seen similar problems at a few other sites, as well. All sites are fine in Safari. Text overlaps paragraphs, images missing, etc.
    No problems on the MacBook Pro, also running Firefox 14.0.1

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Is there a way to use two macs to run one app? I want to use my two macbook pros processors in a shared capacity.

    I have two macbook pros a 2.4ghz and a 2.2ghz. Is there a way to use the other macbook pro to help with any cpu intensive apps like audio and video apps. I haven't had much luck on finding anything about sharing resources. It would be awesome if you could link up two macs and use both of them to power through processor intensive tasks.

    Yep here you go.

  • Network problem - two Macs running Leopard won't connect or share

    We've just bought a refurbed Mac book Pro since our HP notebook is so bloody unreliable and I suspect is about to cark it through overheating/inadequate cooling. The only problem is that networking it with our G5 is turning into a real nightmare, and embarrassingly both the HP and an old desktop PC can not only see and share with each other they can also see and be seen by both Macs and use the printer connected to the G5, and absolutely everything connects to the internet and shows up in the DHCP list on the router. Even more annoying was that the Macs connected initially this morning when we got the Macbook Pro out of the box, but after we'd done the initial round of software updates (10.5.2 was installed on the MBP) we've had nothing but trouble. Quite often they'd be in the shared list in the Finder window but wouldn't connect when clicked. Other times they wouldn't be there at all. We've even tried connecting the two over firewire, which worked for the G5 but not the MBP although the MBP could see the folders on the external hard drive we use for Time Machine backups of the G5.
    File sharing is on for both Macs (and printer sharing for the G5 obviously), AFP is enabled, firewall settings have been moved to Allow All... everything looks right but it doesn't work right. Right now I've managed to get the G5 to connect to the MBP using the Go>Connect to Server method mentioned elsewhere here, but it's one way only. It didn't work when we tried it on the MBP.
    The network is part cabled, part wifi. We've got a Motorola Surfboard cable modem/gateway/wireless router, both notebooks are connecting wirelessly, both desktops are cabled. If it makes any difference both Macs are on 10.5.5, the old desktop is Win2K (please don't laugh) and the HP notebook is Vista.
    Any suggestions?

    Well, it all seems to work now though I can't explain why and have no idea if it would work for others generally. But what we did, having reinstalled 10.5.2 and got the MacBook Pro back to exactly how it was when it arrived, was to install one update at a time checking that the two Mac could still communicate after each stage and with regular backups to be extra safe. The order we did the updates in was:
    Airport Utility
    Remote Desktop Client
    iTunes
    Front Row
    Mac OS X Combined
    Migration and DVD/CD Sharing
    Java
    Airport Extreme
    QuickTime
    QuickTime H.264 Compatibility
    Security Update
    Safari
    Maybe the order doesn't make a difference, I really wouldn't know. But then it doesn't make sense to me that updating one item at a time would make a difference either. However, we now have the network working properly with the same network settings used before when it was hit and miss at best. Glynn, maybe it's worth giving it a try on yours though without a clue why it's now working here I couldn't call it a solution as such.

  • Two macs running garageband at the same time

    Hi. I am using GarageBand on two Mac's at the same time and would like to know how I can record both parts of the tracks, I guess I'll have to use an external recording device of some sort but I do not know which or how I would set this up. Basically, I am playing a part of the song on one Mac and the other part on the other Mac and would like the two Mac's to be liked up to a seperate recording system so I can record the mix, hopw someone can help, thanks.

    The biggest problem you are going to have is sync. There is no way to keep these two computers in sync unless you hook up some kind of KVM USB splitter for your keyboard. Both machines would need to be identical in setup or this will not work. Playback and record buttons need to be pressed at the exact same time. The mouse can be used to trigger events (such as record enable) to each computer. It is not a very elegant or pragmatic way of gaining more tracks.
    The better way is to use a dual G5 with a big monitor.

  • IPhoto '09 version 8.1.2. can two macs have the same library?

    I am running iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and have an iMac and a MacAir. How do I have one photo library, say on the iMac, that is then replicated onto the MacAir?

    There are two ways to "sync" the two libraries.
    #1 - with the two Macs connected download and use  SyncPhotos
    Here's how it works:
    it compares the databases and/or album.xml files of Libraries A and B.
    the files in A that are not in B are imported into B by copying the original files from A into B's Import folder.
    it then does the same for B.
    metadata is not copied.
    It can be used to just copy from A to B and not sync both ways if desired. It will work with 2 libraries that are different versions, i.e. between an iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09 library.  This method does not require you to make the decision of which photos to sync. 
    NOTE:  this method does not sync keywords, titles, ranking or descriptions.
    #2 -  download and use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to copy the Events in Library A that are not in LIbrary B to Library B.  Then select those Events in Library B that are not in A and copy to A.
    This method requires you to make the determination which photos (Events) to copy between libraries.  It does copy all metadata, keywords, titles, etc. as well as Faces and Places.

  • I have two Macs--a flat-screen iMac that uses i-tunes 9 (its max) and a MacBook Intel duo that uses i-tunes 10 (its max). Both are on sharing. I am trying to put the Library from the flat screen i tunes music onto the MacBook. I have carefully followeBook

    I have two Macs, an i-Mac flat screen that runs on OSX.4.11 and i-tunes 9 and a MacBook Intel Duo that runs on Snow Leopard and i-tunes 10.  I have carefully followed all the Advanced instructions for sharing music libraries, which is not a problem; however I am unable to transfer following the instructions to drag the music I want from t he i-Mac flat screen library onto the MacBook. Help! Please! Also, my new Nano will not accept i-tunes 9 which is where I have my old i-pod contents stored--the old i-pod died.  Many thanks!

    UPDATE: I disconnected the iPhone, restarted it, and tried again to sync it with the iTunes library on the iMac. This time it worked
    Now I'm going to try to transfer the music into the iTunes library on the PowerBook, then sync with that, delete the library on the iMac, and sync the (hopefully full of all my music) iPhone with the iMac again.

  • Using one Itunes database across two macs

    Using one itunes database across two macs
    I currently run a 2010 MBP (500gb hd) at home and on the road and a 2013 Imac (1Tb hd) at work. I have a large lossless itunes library of about 300gb and would like to increase the library further.
    My MBP started running slowly and I realised that my iTunes library was choking the whole computer. I started to explore ways to store my library on a remote disk and bought a G drive 1Tb portable drive.
    My efforts to carry out the transfer were only partially successful with most of my library transferring but a significant number of tracks displaying the ! sign which means they couldn't be located.
    I have also got an Imac at work and what I had hoped to achieve was to have my iTunes database on the 1tb portable drive and use the portable disk on both my MBP and iMac.
    Our technical support company are dubious about whether this will work because the local specific itunes library data on each machine will differ and each machine will not operate correctly with the underlying data on the portable drive.
    I am not very technical and I am finding it difficult to follow the various posts on this board and elsewhere. Many seem to comment on splitting their library across multiple disks but I cant really seem to get to the bottom of storing my library on one disk and using it across multiple computers.
    Is what I am trying to achieve practical?
    If it is, can someone point me to an article/post please? Or alternatively could someone explain how I might achieve my goal.
    Thanks in a advance for your help.

  • How do I share files between two Macs using ethernet?

    I have two Macs, both running OS X 10.4.11. How can I connect them using ethernet in order to transfer files back and forth?
    Pete

    I have an ethernet hub with both computers connected to it. You may be able to just connect the two computers with a cable, but it might have to be a "Crossover cable"
    Go to your system preferences>>Sharing and turn of file sharing for each or both computers.
    Then go to the Finder>>Go>>Network and the other computer should show up there. Click to connect.
    You will have a choice to connect under a password or as a guest. If you want security, set up passwords, otherwise just use guest.
