Same account on two computers

Hi,
I did a search on the forum this topic but haven't quite found what I was looking for. I have an iChat account on my old eMac and I am using an AIM account.
Now I have just got a new macbook and would like to use the same ichat account I have set up with AIM and use on my eMac.
How do I go about this?
Some help would be much appreciated!
Thank you for your time,
Tom

You can use the same serial number on two computers, given the conditions in the end-user license agreement (You cannot have Lightroom using the same serial number in use on two computers at the same time, and both installations must be for your own personal use.)

Sharing one itunes account with two computers

I used to share my itunes account with my sister and our ipods were synched to one computer. We now have two new computers and would still like to continue to share that account. Is it possible to open the same account on two separate computers?

Explain how you transfer content manually.
Control-click or right-click it in iTunes, choose Get Info, locate the music files, move them to the other computer's hard disk as you would any other type of file, and then drag them into the open iTunes window. By default on a Mac, dragging them to the open iTunes window also copies them to the hard disk.

Same account on two different computers

My sister and I share an iTunes account, but we have two seperate computers. Before we got our second computer, I purchased and imported many songs (over 500) onto the account on her computer. Now, I have the same account on my computer, but I can't access those songs unless I get on her computer. Is there any way to transfer songs from one computer to the other when they exist on the same account, besides making A LOT of CDs?

Other than CDs your options are DVDs, external hard drive, over network, and iPod. Pick the easiest one you have access to.

Can I have the same library on two computers?

I would like to run iTunes off two computers..work and home with my same library. Can I? How?
Thank you much

I have seen the same info in a few different threads, but I'm still confused. My daughter has ITunes on an older computer, and wants to back up all the info for a new computer. I have ITunes on my computer, and tried to save her files on a flash drive (1 GB) and here's what happened: When I save either or both the .xml or .itl files, and tried to import them to my itunes, I got folders but no songs. When I saved the ITunes Music folder, that gave me the songs, but its more than 1 GB, so I guess I need more flash drives. [However, I was able to import a song that had been downloaded from a CD onto my daughter's computer while the drive was in place on my computer, but when the drive was gone, so was the song......is that always the case?] Do I need to copy the entire ITunes folder (including the .xml, .itl and Music) to the flash drive, and then copy that to the hard drive on the new computer? Help!

Can I have the same itunes on two computers?

I want to have the same info on one computer, mine as i do on my husbands. He doesn't use itunes & sometimes we only take one computer with us. I would like for them to be able to sync together with mine & his laptops.

Welcome to AD!
Yes, you can do this. It takes a little setting up. Here is a CNET video that I thnk explains it very well:

One email account on two computers

With the help of someone on these forums I have just set up a wireless network using Appl AirPort Extreme.
I use Microsoft Entourage on both machines both using the same account.
When I receive an email, it appears in the in-box of whichever of the two machines happened to receive the mail first, and doesn't appear on the other computer at all.
Is this what you would expect to happen? Ideally, I would like all mail to be stored on the main desktop computer whether to I originally looked at it on the desktop or the laptop. Is this posible?
Thanks
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks, Duane and Ernie - I think your suggestion will work fine.
But would another way to do it be to synchronise the contents of the two hard discs, so whichever HD has the most recent version of the Microsoft User Data folder, the other, older version would be updated?
This takes me to a question about synchronisation more broadly (and this may belong in a different bit of the forum, but never mind...)
I've now got my network set up so I can access anything from one computer on the other. So while I'm on the network, I can access and modify the documents on the main, desktop, machine from the PowerBook.
But if I held all my documents (including the Microsoft User Data folder, my iTunes library etc etc) on both hard drives, is there software I can use to ensure that each HD has the most recent version of each document. This would mean I could go away from home, work on a document on the PowerBook and when I got home, the version on the desktop would automatically be p?
Am I missing something really obvious here?!
Grateful for any pointers.
Thank you.

One account using two computers

I know there have been a few posts about this. But I can't seem to find a straight answer. Keeps talking about a PC and a Mac.
I have two macs, one at work and one at home.
1. When I come home, I want to work on my home computer. Do I have to make sure all the programs are closed on my work computer, to use Creative Cloud at home?
2. Im thinking about getting a new computer in a few months, can I easily then deactive my old computer and install the cloud on my new machine?

Question # 1 answer:
You do not have to make sure the programs are closed on the work computer. The license agreement is that you will not use the software on two computers at the same time.
Question # 2 answer:
As Amit has answered above. You have two activations. When you try to activate on a third computer you will be asked about deactivating on the others.

How do I sync the same library between two computers?

I have an iMac and a Macbook Air, and I am constantly buying music betwen the two computers, and my iPhone. I want to be able to sync up my iPhone on both computers, but it keeps telling me I have to resync my entire phone, which is just crazy. How can I sync up itunes? I have .mac to sync my contacts, mail, etc.

I have an iMac and a Macbook Air, and I am constantly buying music betwen the two computers
Constantly? The MacBook Air is brand new.
Even if you sync iTunes between two computers With something like this -> syncOtunes, you will still get this message if you sync to the other computer. The libraries may be have the same music but they are not the same library.

Merging mail from one account on two computers

I have mail up until December 2007 on my Mac Mini and mail from December 1 to present on my Powerbook. I want to get all my mail until now onto just one computer.
Can anyone tell me the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance
MK

See Mail | Help and in the search box, type "importing email into Mail"
Mail Help doesn't say so, but I would be sure to make a copy of your /Users/mk/Library/Mail before starting, just in case something terrible were to happen. Single-click on that folder then control-click on it and select "Make Archive".
Find a firewire cable and connect the two computers together via firewire. On the one from which you want to import mail, reboot it while holding down the "T" key -- let up once you see the big firewire symbol on a blue screen. An icon of that computer should now show up on the desktop of the computer to which you want to import its mail. Then follow the instructions in Mail Help.
I don't know if "import Mail" creates new mail folders or not when you do this. But whatever, if it does, once the messages have been imported, you can drag them to whatever mailbox is appropriate then delete the newly created imported mail folders once they are empty.
If something goes terribly wrong (like the import operation overwrites your existing messages or something ugly like that), just drag the /Users/mk/Library/Mail folder to the Trash and doubleclick on the /Users/mk/Library/Archive.zip that was created when you made the archive of your Mail folder three paragraphs ago. Then you'll be back to where you started.

How can I view the same emails from the same account on two different computers.

I use 2 office computers and want to see all my Thunderbird emails. I dont need to use them at the same time, but want to be able to see the emails and responses from either computer? How can I direct the path do do this? Thanks for your help? Janet

You'd need to set-up your account as IMAP on both computers.

Can I share one itunes account with two computers?

I have an itunes account set up with one email address. It was originally set up on a PC and my two daughters have Ipods that are synched to this computer. I finally got my own ipod (yea!) and want to use it with my macbook. I tried to download songs using the same email and my purchased songs were not able to be played on the macbook. Can I share this account or do I need to set up a separate Itunes account for the macbook?

eyeinit,
You can authorize your iTunes account on up to 5 computers at a time.
However, purchased music is downloaded to the first machine to download it, but these articles have more information on moving your music between authorized computers:

This one is for moving all your music using an iPod as a storage drive

Using iTunes account on two computers?

Can I use my iTunes library on two different computers? For example, if I have all my songs downloaded to my office computer in my iTunes, can I sync my ipod to my home computer and use the same library as the songs I downloaded to my office computer?

You can't auto-sync an Ipod with multiple libraries. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
Songs you purchase on one computer can be loaded on the iPod and copied to the second computer if you wish, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

Itunes account on two computers

I recently got a new laptop and my husband was on our pc and I logged into itunes on the laptop and downloaded a heap of music. Now I realise that it is not on both pc and laptop??? Is there any way I can put both on one computer? I am frustrated as I can only sync music from one computer and not the other.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks heaps...
Mel

Ok. I am unsure how to use the home sharing in itunes. It seems that on my pc I have one itunes library, and on my netbook I have another. The one on my pc has more music than the newer one on my netbook. I would like both computers to have the same music. For example: they both have the same songs, content, but I recently purchased the netbook, so it doesn't have all my older itunes library content.
I feel very stupid, like I am missing something very simple.
My pc is windows vista OS, and my netbook is windows xp OS.
Same itunes account, both computers are authorized, and I use an ipod nano 4th g, and an ipod touch 2g. Just want the same content (songs, apps, photos, everything), on all items (pc, netbook, and ipods)
Thanks for any help, hopefully you all won't think I am TOO stupid!
