Synching two sequences together with two laptops

Does anyone know how I could hook up two different logic sequences with the same metronome speed to where both would be in sync with each other? I have two mac books and two MOTU 896HDs. Would you use a word clock cable?
Mac Book Mac OS X (10.4.8)

No, you don't use word clock for that. The way to do it is with MIDI Time Code (MTC). Simplest way is with a midi cable between both computers and setting one computer master and the other slave. Check your Logic manual about synchronization. If you don't have any midi interface, you can use an ethernet cable and configure the Network device in AudioMidiSetup as a midi interface. Also, you probably want to configure MMC to have one set of transport controlling both computers.

HT4623 Why is it that if I synch my iPad and with my laptop the ipad still has to download purchased content although it was already downloaded to the PC?

Why is it that when I synch my iPad with itunes, the purchased content still (especially music and movies) have again to download on the iPad eventhough the content has been downloaded to itunes already?

But where are you seeing evidence of that? Explain what makes you think that they are being downloaded from iCloud? Do you see a cloud icon next to the music and movies on the iPad? That simply means that they are available in iCloud for you to download without having to go to the purchased tabs of the stores on your device if you want to download them again.
You can turn that off in Settings>iTunes and App Store>Show All>Videos>Off and Music>Off.

How do I use two external monitors with my laptop?

I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC. My OS is Windows 7. I am used to using two external monitors with a docking station. This new laptop does not have a docking station. What do I need to get to use two external monitors?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Certainly not without a dock but even with, HP laptop docks pretty well limit you to one of the external monitor ports, even if there are two on the dock. We have used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a usb to hdmi adapter. It provides a third monitor capability for a laptop....use the native external monitor port and the internal laptop display and then this device gives a third monitor which is full configurable from the Windows 7 display interface...clone, extend, etc. It allows full HD resolution and is responsive enough for even light gaming. HP makes no true docking station for your laptop.

I have two Officejet 6500a's. How do I get them both to work with my laptop?

I now own two Officejet 6500a plus All-in-One printers. I take my laptop back and forth between where they're located. I have the driver on my laptop, and it works with one of them, but how do I make it recognize the second one...and also not then fail to recognize the first one? I'm trying to have both work wirelessly with my laptop. So far, the second one is connected to the wireless network, but my laptop tells me it's not connected to the printer and can't print. I'm not sure what to do because the driver is already installed.
My laptop is a MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion, if that's important.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Sorry that you are having a problem with connecting both printers to the network.
First, you will make sure both printers are on the network through the front panel display screen.
If you have one already working, name it (Officejet 6500 #1, home, work, etc). The 2nd officejet that is not connecting correctly, you will need to re-download the software on the laptop again.
DO NOT uninstall, just install the drivers and software from the website or the CD, if you still have it.
When it ask, how you would like to connect, and you choose wireless, it will search for the printers on the network. Make sure you choose the printer #2 (IP Address).
You can check for the IP address on the settings on the printer.
After it downloads and finishes, you can go to the Devices and printers, and change the name to (#2, work, home, etc).
Even though, its the same software and same printer name, the computer has to distinquish between which is which.

I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.

If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

Must be a verified email address.

I have two libraries on separate computers. If i turned itunes match on in both computers would the two libraries merge? So if my iphone normally syncs with my laptop would i still only get the iphones library or would i get both as one?

Yes, the two libraries should merge. However, you need to turn on match on one computer and let it finish before adding the second library.
Once you turn march on n your phone then you don't sync it with iTunes, but the merged library will show up on the phone. If you don't turn on match on your phone and continue to sync then all of the music from both libraries should be available to sync to it.
The only bit I can't confirm is what happens if you try to sync music to the phone which isnt actually downloaded into iTunes. Im not in a position to test that, but maybe someone else can help.

I have two laptops authorized with the same itunes account. One computer is not working, so I want to know how I can access my playlists, etc. that are one that computer on the working one?

I have two laptops authorized with the same itunes account. However, there are different playlists on each laptop. One laptop is messed up and I cannot get on the internet with it, so I was able to deauthorize it from the itunes account. I thought that would bring the playlists over to the other computer, but it did not. Is there a way to do it?

I want to set-up a network with our current two laptops for a family of 4 w/unique 4 profiles. I'd like everyone to be agnostic about which computer to log into and use but still have private docs and apps (i.e.mail/facebook). How best can I do this?

Experiences with Lenovo and my purchases of two laptops

Experiences with Lenovo and my purchases of two laptops (one was exchanged) and issues following with defective parts:
First.. Lenovo Return Policy:
I had ordered an E420, and by mistake in that I responded to an email advertisement while at work, and rushed through the online order (bad mistake).
When I received the E420, I didn't like the LCD or keyboard at all... and was really disappointed. While researching other customer experiences, I assumed Lenovo basically had an "all sales final" policy for Canadian Customers.
I called them the next business day after receiving the E420, and said I was disatisified with the it, and would like to exchange it for a T520. She said that is possible, but I'd have to order the T520 before I could get a return authorization (which was ok).
I ordered the T520, and within a week (I had to call and bug them once), I received the return labels for the E420, and returned it that day. It took about 10 days, for the full E420 credit to show up on my credit card, and I was very happy to see they did not charge me restocking.
Second, issues with the T520:
Within hours of opening the T520, I noticed the upper cursor key was not working. Not very good for a brand new laptop... a bit disappointing.
I called lenovo the next morning, and she apologized for the issue, and said she'd send me another keyboard asap... and the instructions. This was ok, since repairing PC's and laptops is a skill I have. The keyboard came the next day.... and I replaced it.. all good.
Next issue:
The bluetooth worked for about 3 days, and stopped working (which was a pain because I used a lenovo blue tooth mouse). Bios shows it enabled, but does not show up anymore when I do a FN F5, or in device manager. Just to be sure it wasn't an issue with software, I used the recovery DVDs to reinstall the OS... still no bluetooth.
Called Lenovo support, he had me pull battery, press the power button with no power sources connected (he said it drained any capacitors), reset bios to system defaults... reboot a few times... still no bluetooth.
He suggested I re-seat the bluetooth daughter card. While I felt comfortable with this, I was surprised Lenovo Support would suggest this, because I am sure many or most customers would not have this expertise to open a laptop without doing some sort of damage. That being said, Lenovo does have a Hardware Maintenance Guide that explains step by step procedures for replacement of parts on the T520.
I didn't do this while on the phone with him, but after going through the troubleshooting, he said a box would come to my door, and I'd have to ship my laptop away for a week or so to have it fixed.
I expressed my unhappyness with this idea as UPS/Lenovo just delivered the Laptop to my door and a week had not even passed, and I have to do without it for a week or ???.
I said, this is why purchasing a laptop online can be a huge drawback... had I purchased from "Best Buy" I could go exchange it over the counter in a few hours.
Anyways.. I asked if I could drop it off at an Authorized Lenovo Repair depot, and he said yes.. just bring the case number.
I personally don't trust "Repair Depots" by default. They scratch laptops, they leave screws out, they mark the plastic edges when separating the covers, bezels, etc because they use metal screwdrivers or are not careful when doing so.
After I got off the phone, I was able to re-seat the bluetooth card... still not resolved. I think I will call Lenovo back and ask the part to be sent to me, and I'll replace it.
Other comments:
Sound - The volume level on the T520 isn't as loud as my HP nx9420... unfortunate.. but I can live with it.
Performance: The Performance rating on my 5 year old HP nx9420 was 4.3, this new T520 was 4.6... not that much better and appears to be due to the video card rating.
Lenovo Packaging:
I was also very surprised that Lenovo ships the laptops by sending them in their own box, and not putting them in a large box with padding to protect them. That means that any rough handing by UPS, would be experienced by the laptop, which if you ever talk to people who work for UPS or other couriers admit that they work on volume/speed and not giving much priority to ensuring items are handled carefully.

The Windows experience index is only a rough guide, not a benchmark. Many people have reported having minor things wrong with the machines as shipped. Perhaps, this is due to shipping damage.
I find it interesting that you BT went out after a keyboard replacement. Mine did the same thing, and had to be replaced.

Synching ONE MobileMe calendar with TWO iphones

I keep reading that it's possible to synch a MobileMe calendar with TWO iphones but cannot find out HOW to do so. I presume that SHARING a calendar is different from SYNCHRONISING a calendar. Sharing a calendar seems to me to be cumbersome in that it involves sending an invitation which then must be specifically dealt with by the recipient. SYNCHRONISING a calendar though presumably means updating a calendar entry automatically. It works with one iphone. How can it be made to work with two iphones? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That's it.

ANything you add will appear on the other phone and visa versa
my OG iPhone won't sync with my MobileME calendar. Is that because the OG phone can't be updated to ios4?
And if that's the problem is there any alternative for syncing the OG iPhone's calendar (which is now empty)?

Using app store on two laptops with one apple id

Hello, I have two laptops - MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. I use the app store on my MacBook Pro frequently. I have recently purchased a MacBook Air. I logged in to the app store, using my apple id, on my new MacBook Air to install apps. However, when I search for an app it says installed (which is actually installed in my MacBook Pro). Is there a way to get around this? And install apps on a new Mac using the same apple id. All my products are linked to one apple id. Do I need to create a new apple id to install apps on a new laptop.
Also, until recently I was residing in the United States. I have recently changed my address to India in my apple account. The app store is now linked to the Indian store.

Click on the Purchases icon in the App Store's toolbar. Locate the apps you wish to download. You should see an Install/Download button to the right of the entries.

Syncing 2 calendars on two laptops with 2 iPhones

I have a rather complex iCal setup on two laptops and two iPhones. My partner and I both have a laptop and an iPhone. We keep separate calendars on our laptops and subscribe to each others calendars. Also he syncs his iPhone to his laptop through the cradle. However, I recently set my iPhone up to sync to Mobileme. So now, he has both calendars on his iPhone, but I only have my own calendar on iPhone. He also does not now use Mobileme. So is there a solution to this problem, or do I need to go back to syncing my iPhone through a cradle to get both calendars on it?

Maybe try using the mobileme account as a joint account at least as far as the ical goes, if you both login to the same mobileme account you can pull the same ical data to both phones and even to both laptops.

Can I link my two laptops using IEEE 1394 (Firewire)?

Hi,
I have a X31 and a X60 laptop. Both are running on Windows XP Pro and both have IEEE 1394 (firewire) ports.
I seem to read it somewhere that I can do a network link between two laptops via the firewire ports.
However, it does not work for me after linking them with a firewire cable.
Am I missing something?

Am I missing something?
You have to configure the IPs on the both side as with any other network adapters.
Alternatively you can set the internet sharing to the fireware adaper, on one side only so the pc with internet shared will acts as DHCP server and the other will atutomagically configure itself with a correct IP.

Two iPhones, two laptops

I've two iPhones, work and personal, and two laptops, work and personal. I'd like to have "one version of the truth", i.e. one calendar, one list of contacts. If I add a contact/event on one phone or laptop, all four devices have the same infomation. Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it?
Lenpan

This can be done if you have Outlook 2007 or later on your computers by syncing all 4 devices with the same iCloud account. On you two phones, go to Settings>iCloud.com and sign into the same account with the same ID and turn syncing for Contacts, Calendars, etc. to On (if prompted, choose Merge). This setup is described herehttp://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.
Then on your computers download and install the iCloud control panel for Windows and sign into the same iCloud account and check iCloud syncing for Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks with Outlook ( and any other data you want to sync with iCloud) as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.

Two laptops - one mouse - one screen

i have two laptops, one is a powerbook, g4, the another one a mac book pro. i need to know how can i connect both laptops to the point that it will view just one screen and use just one mouse.

Take a look at buying a KVM switch. It's actually meant to control two computers with one set of keyboard monitor and mouse. However, this should allow you to connect your monitor to two computers. Look to buy one with a physical switch rather than a keyboard shortcut.
