Signing On In Two Locations

Maybe this isn't the most appropriate place to ask this, but over the last few days I've gotten several iChat messages that tell me my screen name (my .Mac address) is now signed on at two AIM locations. It asks me to enter a "1" to log off at the other location. I do it and it says my other session has been logged off. I understand what this means, but it makes no sense since I'm not signed on anywhere else AFAIK. Does this mean someone else is signing on with my login and password? If so, how can I find out who and/or where this other log in is occurring? If not, what does it mean?
Also I don't know if this is related, but I just got a new MacPro last week, and although it didn't coincide with setting setting the new machine up, it started a few days later. My old machine is turned off, as is my laptop, and I don't use any other computer.

Being Dynamic with the ISP will not cause this.
It is about how you can create multiple Logins with one computer.
1) Using your Screen name on someone else's computer.
2) Checking iChat in a Test Account that has the iChat > Preferences > General Section item "When I Quit iChat, Set my Status as Off-line " unchecked.
This leaves you logged in and set as Away.
2a) Using the screen name on Any other User Account on your Mac.
3) Using another Aim Client on another Mac User Account.
4) Setting up the Jabber side with an AIM transport as CodLBi describes meaning the Screen Name you use gets logged in twice from the same iChat in fact. Short of closing down that Transport using Psi or another Jabber Client there is no way round this as the Jabber side does not allow Multiple logins like the AIM side.
It is most likely something you have done in the past and forgotten about rather than the possibles created by a LAN set up using WiFi and Ethernet at the same time.
Having said that having Internet Sharing On in System Preferences > Sharing and having a second computer ON will cause this as well.
Add to the List using AIM in Windows in Parallels or or VMFusion

Signed in at two locations? is someone using my account?

Both my dad and me have the same error message about being signed in at two locations when we are not. We are also in different countries, signed in only once or indeed not at all.
I have googled this and see the error message is very old.
Any experiences out there?
The text is:
Your Screen Name ([email protected]) is now signed into AOL(R) Instant Messenger (TM) in 2 locations. To sign off the other location(s), reply to this message with the number 1. Click here for more information.
The more info link is this one:
http://info.aol.co.uk/aim/password/routing.htm
Just to be clear: we are NOT logged in twice by any means we are aware of.
I am wondering if it has anything to do with dot mac syncing as my username "goes online" to do that of course. Though I'm not sure how ichat comes to be loaded even then - again not knowingly by me. Of course dot mac (now me) is nothing to do with AOL screen names. As far as I know.
This is an old symptom.

aha. Now that's interesting. In my the case of me (not my dad), I do not have ethernet and wireless, but I do have multiple wireless networks (3) as well as multiple VPN's (2). So perfectly possible that as I switch between these iChat notices a change of interface. What I can't understand now, is how iChat is loaded in the first place.. checking prefs now... result: I cannot see a pref that says to load iChat at startup or indeed at any other time. Probably just can't see it for looking since this would explain how come iChat is loaded and I am surprised. I have no idea it is running until I see the "double logins/two locations" message.
My Dad. He has only one system - I'll check with him in case he is running ethernet AND wireless. He doesn't know the difference, so just plugs everything in and it works Quite possible his Wanadoo box is offering wired and wireless at the same time via dhcp.
If that is the case then I have only one question left: how is iChat loading up and that's going to be easy to answer (apart from me with my blinkers on just now).. so answers very welcome please.
Never ceases to surprise me where these threads lead. In this case it looks like "locations" == "network interfaces " - well, why don't they just say that ?

ICloud Mail - Accessed from two locations simoutaneously?

Hello,
I got this message this morning from my iCloud Mail. It says that my iCloud Mail account has been accessed from two locations simoutaneously, and that I have 24 hours to receive confirmation of ownership of my account or it will be suspended. There are no links in the email to confirm that I am the real user. What do I have to do to prove that I am the real owner? I don't want my email suspended!
Thanks for any information before 9:00 AM tomorrow, because that's when the 24 hours are up.

Yea, that sounds fishy. Can't believe that Apple would mispell iCloud. Looks like someone wanted you to reply with your username, password and location. Might be worth contacting Apple about it. If you explained that you were contacting them as a good samaritan to report a possible security threat that might effect other users they probably wouldn't charge you for the call.
If you're concerned, you could always change your password (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36). After doing so you would need to sign out, then back in using the new password for all services you are using the ID for. For iCloud, you have to delete the account (which only deletes the account and your synced data from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new password. Your data will be synced back when you sign back in.

How does Creative Cloud for teams work with staff who work in two locations ie in the office/home

How does Creative Cloud from teams work with staff who work in two locations i.e. in the office and home?

There is no difference please be aware that each login is provided with two activations however. If you wish to have a computer at both work and home activated though that is perfectly fine as long as your employer is ok with using company software at home.

I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

HT1379 The USB ports on my 30" Cinema are not working. The monitor has not been used for a year or so, and the computer is a Mac Book Pro, 1012 model running OS Mavericks. I need to move the computer between two locations, and the other monitor is a 27"

The USB ports on my 30" Cinema HD display appear to not work. The monitor has not been used for almost a year, when I upgraded to a new Mac Book Pro and the 27" retina display. Now I need to move the computer back and forth between two locations using the two displays. The need for operating USB ports is essential. Any ideas. The display appears entirely normal. Am running OS X 10.9.

Disregard, problem solved.

Ok now I get your requirement.
you cant achieve this - how one receiver channel can put in two location if you dont have a dynamic configuration defined i.e Adapter specific attributes.
easy way - involve IR mapping
else
have a adapter module to define your dynamic configuration.
Ref: /people/daniel.graversen/blog/2006/10/05/dynamic-configuration-in-adapter-modules & /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/10/09/xi-dynamic-configuration-in-adapter-modules--one-step-further
Set the dynamic directory/file name etc for your receiver adapter.

DSL line at two locations

We have the need to establish a network that connects the VolP phones in the garage of a ranch house and the WiFi network in the remainder of the ranch house.
We have extentions of the DSL line at two locations. 1. At the garage and 2. In the other side of the house.
We have purchased a SPA2002 and a WRT54G WIRELESS-G ROUTER, can you give me instructions as to how to do it?
I AM A COMPLETE NOVICE, SO PLEASE KEEP IT SIMPLE FOR ME.

Hi,
The one which you see in the path <AIA Directory>\AIAComponents\EnterpriseObjectLibrary\Core\Common\V1 is the release 1. If you open the Datatypes.xsd you could spot the difference.
** AIA Enterprise Object Library **
** Version 1.00 **
** Date: 01 Nov 2007 **
Do check the Datatypes.xsd in <AIA Directory>\AIAComponents\EnterpriseObjectLibrary\Core\Common\V2. This is the latest release and it imports the xsd from Infrastructure library.

** Version 1.00 **

I back up my iphone onto itunes on my laptop. I've now got a new laptop, which counts at two locations. This new laptop had to be setup again. Apple says this is three locations. How can I get it changed to two locations?

I backup my iphone onto itunes on my laptop. Recently I got a new laptop, so that counts at two itunes locations.
Unfortunately this new laptop was faulty and had to be set up again from scratch.
Apple now says that's three itunes locations when in fact it's two.
How can I get this changed back to two locations?

If by locations you mean "authorized computers" then one of your computers (apparently the new laptop) may be using multiple authorizations.

Replicate in Two Locations? SAP B1 HANA High Availability

Hello Experts! Hope this message finds you well.
Can we replicate SAP B1 HANA to a standby server that is in another location?
Example Active Server\Central Server at my New York Data Center and Standby Server in Ohio
What would be needed in terms of high speed pipe between locations and NTP to synch time to a common time server.
Thank you for your advice.
Ed

Hi Ed,
Currently the two locations have to be within ~100 KM of each other. You find this in section 14 of the HANA admin guide for SP6. You can open a support ticket asking what to consider if you want a distance greater than 100KM.
Best regards,
Duncan

I have two location one is Delhi(IP-192.168.100.*) and another is Mumbai(IP-192.168.1.*) and both are connected by MPLS line and ping with each other.
We have one DC in Delhi location and domain name is CAPLDC and Delhi location all PC is member of this domain and working properly.
now i am trying join the Mumbai location PC with my Domain(CAPLDC) but they are not join with my DC and generate the error.
I have chek the DNS and nslookup all are correct but this is generate error.
Is this possible Mumbai location join with this Domain(CAPLDC)???
One more thing when i have created another DC with this name (papldc.com) then Mumbai location is joined properly.

Why are you using a single labeled domain? I would recommend renaming the domain name to be something like domain.com.

I've been given under warranty what us supposed to be a new iPhone 5. When I try and restore it from my iCloud it keeps asking me to sign in with two other Apple ID's that are not know to me. Why is this?

I've been given under warranty what us supposed to be a new iPhone 5. When I try and restore it from my iCloud it keeps asking me to sign in with two other Apple ID's that are not know to me. Why is this?

Adding to KC7GNM's remark (with which I agree), the iPhone 5 you received is very likely refurbished. It is not brand new out-of-the-box, never before used.

"keep me signed in for two weeks" box

In the past, when I checked the "keep me signed in for two weeks" box, It was possible to forego the signing in every time I wanted to view my email account. Lately however, this is ignored and I must log in with my email name and password every time I go to the home page. This doesn't happen in Google Chrome or AOL. It's a minor thing, but still annoying. Anyone else have this problem?

We have had this problem forever, along with the ever changing MyVerizon Home Page. We can tell when our login is going to fail based upon what user name it greets on the top right-hand side of the page. I continue to post how many logins we can have per day and VZ employees continue to spew the company lie that this is for our protection. The VZ line is that the logouts are to prevent someone else from accessing your account and changing settings. Now we all know how often family members get in and purposely change settings. Perhaps VZ should employ some engineers and programmers who can fix the problem that VZ claims isn't a problem.
