Syncing two computers to a dual account setup on a third computer

We have 3 computers, with the third being used with dual accounts when we travel. Is it possible to sync one computer with my account on the 3rd, and then sync the 2nd computer with the other account on the 3rd?
Hope this makes sense!

I think so. I have two accounts on the same computer syncing with others (and themselves). I had to set up both independently, so I'm pretty sure that the fact that they were syncing with the same profile is not relevant.

  • Syncing two computers via network session

    hi
    this topic started out in another thread, really should have it's own though...
    so i want to sync two computers via a "network session".
    one is a G4 (dual 800 running logic pro 7.2.2) the other is my macbook pro running logic pro 6.4.2.
    basically all i am using the macbook for is to playback a quicktime movie...
    now i have successfully got the network session going in "Audio Midi Setup", but for the life of me can't get the logic on the macbook pro to slave up. even though mtc is set up and the logic 7.2.2 is set up to send mtc via the network session.
    if anyone has any ideas...please feel free...
    cheers, warner

    really?
    cool.
    have been researching this a little bit (not that i have the time - just got curious).
    there are a couple of relaly interesting apps out there that can take MTC and play video. one in particular was very interesting....check this out:

  • Why can't apple let us sync two computers over bluetooth?

    I am extremely annoyed that mac won't let you sync two computers via bluetooth, when you can easily do it with phones and pdas. It seems to me that it takes the exact same technology to do so, and the only reason mac does not let you sync two computers is that they want to force you to pay $100 for a .mac account. Very Microsoft-like of them. Apple advertises that you can do this function as part of the OSX, but fails to mention it requires additional cost. I hope they provide this in the future.
    I've heard a new program, spanning sync, may work, but that is just for your calendar.

    1) Apple always advertised its computer to computer sync'ing as ".Mac sync" (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dotmacsync/) so I don't see where they "fail to mention it requires .mac" or put that "in the small print no one reads"
    2) Peer-to-peer sync'ing leverages many conceptual problems that sync'ing with a central server does not have. It takes a lot of effort to have proper, reliable, secure, yet simple-to-use peer-to-peer sync'ing. It becomes even worse when more than 2 peers are involved, and becomes a total nightmare when there can be cycles in the sync'ing swarm. Apple took the simpler, reliable approach. Of course, Apple can put money to provide some peer-to-peer solution but it's likely not worth the money yet for Apple.
    3) Third parties can provide peer-to-peer sync'ing in no time (if it were that simple) since Tiger, thanks to Sync Services... yet there isn't many solutions out-there... however, maybe you should take a look on VersionTracker. You might find what you want:

    Remember... sync'ing is never that simple.

  • HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account.  An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
    If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state).  If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
    Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

    If you don't have access to the computers to manually deauthorize them (they were sold, stolen, etc), then you have to log into your account, deauthorize all computers, and then re-authorize the machine(s) that you want to have access. This page explains how.

  • Two computers share the same wi-fi Modem . When computer A reads a message it is marked as read on both PC's, not allowing computer B to see what must be read.

    Please help, Thank you for this online support option

    Imap wasn't designed for this kind of multi user situation. It assumes that you the account owner will be using it to manage one account via multiple devices. So once you have read a message it has been read, regardless of which device you were using at the time.
    You appear to be describing a situation where you want more than one user to read each message, without anyone knowing if anyone else has read it or even dealt with it. Frankly, I can't imagine a set of circumstances where this workflow would make sense or be useful.
    You can do various things such as manually setting messages as unread, or moving them from one folder to another to indicate that they have been processed, but much of this relies on users being thorough and conscientious.
    You may need to be running your own server to do this sort of email message managing, if you really need to fork a message so it gets to multiple recipients. Managing which users see a particular message is a job for a server, not the end-user's email client.

  • How to sync two computers to a iPhone 4

    I have two computers. In my home computer (iTunes) I have all my music.  In my office computer I have Outlook and all contacts, notes and tasks.  How do I sync both contents to my iPhone 4?

    iOS devices are designed to be synced with one computer only.
    Is your Outlook based on Exchange?  if so, just setup an Exchange account on the phone.

  • Syncing two computers with same short name

    Hi folks, esp. Dancing Brook ,
    So, I have a computer at work, a laptop at home, and a Palm PDA. Since both computers are mine, they have the same short name. I only make iCal entries on my work computer (plus anything that I enter in my PDA, of course), but like to have the latest iCal data on my laptop too. Here's my question:
    I only have iCal on my laptop for the convenience and as an extra backup. Since, however, it shares the same short name as my work computer, do I have to worry about sync issues? E.g., if my laptop iCal has old data, could it overwrite the new data if I sync it after I sync my work computer?
    I've read that changing the short name of your computer isn't a great idea, FWIW.
    Thanks,
    PL

    Don't know. Wouldn't think it would be a problem as it is too likely to happen (ie same name on both computers). But you could setup a new account with a new name on the laptop if you don't want to experiment. I would just backup and experiment, or set up two new users, one on each computer along with a trial .Mac account.

  • Sync two computers with one documents folder?

    This is a question re: a imac and a powerbook. 
    I am looking for a product that can update the most recently edited files in my documents folder on both computers automatically...
    Often, I use the laptop remotely and need updates to the desk top and vise versa so that the folder being duplicated is a mirror on each machine...
    Is this a possibility with some product currently on the market, two computers one set of folders?
    Optimally I would like it to happen automaticall but a wired version would be OK too...
    When machines are tethered the more recent folders update on either machine.

    Hi Elin,
    Here's a Dropbox tutorial which keeps two Macs synced: http://thenextweb.com/apps/2011/09/21/how-to-use-dropbox-to-sync-your-documents- folder-between-macs-for-free/
    What's not clear is if it will allow you to disconnect the two Macs and then sync after reconnecting them.
    iCloud is something else to consider.

    i need to sync (or copy) iCal, Notes, Remembers, Adress Book between two computers working on Mountain Lion. How can i do without using iCloud or other cloud?

    You can share files via Airdrop. Not sure if that's what you're really looking for pertaining to a way within the Mac OS.

  • Syncing two devices to same iTunes account

    Is it possible to sync two iPods to the same iTunes account? I have had a iPod Classic and just got a Shuffle and would like to use the same account for both devices.

    yes, but be careful because it has only one music library (i had) and all music from one ipod was automatically synchronized to another ipod

  • HT1495 can you sync two computers to one ipad?

    We just got an ipad for traveling and have two home computers, mine and my husbands. Can we synd them both to the ipad for our trip? Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks.

    No you cannot sync with two computers. "Sync" being the key word. You can use an iPad with multiple computers for the purposes of transferring music.
    You can read more about it here.

  • What happens if i sync two desktop firefoxes? Will my bookmarks be organised by computer or will there be duplicates?

    How to set up firefox sync is well described, but there is hardly any information on what happens after setup. I have two computers with different bookmarks and settings and i want to keep it that way, but i would still like to have access to the other computer's data.
    Will the sync import all settings and merge them or will the settings remain separate somehow? Will this only affect bookmarks or also sessions, that is open tabs and windows? I would be okay with merging bookmarks, but browsing sessions need to remain unique although it would be nice to somehow access the open tab list from the other computer.

    Thanks for the reply.
    It is encouraging to see such timely responses!
    I must be old-school ... you know, mainframe days... ;)
    To me synchronize does not necessarily imply merge both into a superset.
    Sometimes synchronize means: make one look like the other.
    (See refs at wikipedia or other online definitions. I only point this out to explain how it is that I do not automatically assume the same process function for the word that Mozilla does. And having worked with user documentation for years, it seems that clarifying of assumed terms is important.)
    Though I am not sure if any authors of the Firefox help pages ever read here, I would wish that they would include just this extra little tidbit - that "synchronize" in Firefox means creating a superset of all data, and then making both look like the superset.
    Would have saved me a lot of time searching and worrying about what will actually happen.
    Sigh.
    The one other thing, which I will probably have to experiment with, regarding bookmark synchronizing:
    What does it do with two similar but not exact bookmarks.
    I am guessing that it will try to match on URL address, not text label. So i wonder what it will do if I have same URL but with slightly different text name label, which one does it pick?
    Or perhaps it will keep both, if its match criteria is both of URL and text name label.
