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.

Migrated and now 2 computers with same computer name?(user account)

I used the Migration Assistant to move info from iBook to my MacBook.
I don't know how but now on my MacBook I have a copy of my user account from my iBook.
Now, I have two user accounts on my MacBook, the original user account created when I started using the computer and now, my old iBook user account.
Is this normal?
Later, I would like to create a network using the two computers on my Airport Extreme n Base station.
Will it be a problem to have two computers with identical user accounts?

There is not a problem with having identical usernames on two different computers. You also suggested the "Computer name" was the same. Is this the computer name at the top of the "Sharing" preference panel? If so, those need to be different.

Two query with same technical name in Quality

Hi experts,
I have two queries in Quality with same technical name. I used the program RENAME_DUPLICATE_ELEMENTS to rename the query and its renaming the latest query instead of the old Query. I am in BI 7.0 system and cant find a note that applies to BI 7.0. There are quite a few notes on 3.x system. Has somebody faced the same problem. What did you do. If there is a note for bi 7.0, please let me know so i can resolve with the Basis team.

We had similar issues - this happens when you create a query locally and then transport the same.
The queries have an internal GUID which is generated locally and this causes duplicates.
You can :
1. Delete queries using the GUIDS ( you can find this in RZCOMPDIR or RSRREPDIR tables ) using RZDELETE to delete queries.
identify your older version query and then delete the same and you should be good to go...
also try identifying the same using program
ANALYZE_RSZ_TABLES

How to get two fields with same tech name in LIS Extractors?

Hi Experts,
I need "ERDAT" field from two structures (QMSM & QMFE) in 2LIS_18_IOTASK extractor.
In LBWE first I moved ERDAT from QMSM. When I moved ERDAT from QMFE it gives an error:
"Field with same technical name is already available in the Extract Structure".
I don't want to create Append Structure as we need to write User exit.
Can any one tell me how to get this field added in the extractor from QMSM and QMFE?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Sree

this is not possible as the all those fields are put in one structure. per definition you can't put the same field name twice in a structure, table in the data dictionary...
hence, you really need to use an append and fill via user exit

Class.forname - Unable to load class if two jars with same package name

class.forname - Unable to load class if two jars contains same package name exists in classpath.
JVM is stopping search for class one it finds the package name in the jar file that is ahead in classpath,
JVM is not continuing search in the remaining jar files.
For this , I put the jar file that contained class ahead of of ther jar file containing same package name, then it worked.
Is this a JVM bug ? (JDK 1.5)

I reported as bug to sun. I got auto email, looks they have not assigned any Bug ID so far.

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.

Two cams with same file-name...

Hi! I have had an EOS400D for a couple of years, and have recently bought a 40D. The problem now is that the 40D has been used so much on a trip to the Philippines, the camera´s file numbering are the same on a series of pics. Both cams used simultanously. This confuses Aperture, so when i preview one pic, another shows up... Doues anyone have a solution for this?

That's got nothing to do with the file names, as Aperture uses it's own internal IDs to keep track of each image, regardless of file names.
What's happened is that the thumbnails for each image and the index which tells Aperture which thumbnail is for which image don't match up.
To fix this you need to rebuild the Library - quit Aperture, then launch it again while holding down the Command and Option/Alt keys. This will rebuild the database from scratch.
Obviously, don't do this until after you've backed everything up, just in case...

Sync two laptops with same itunes account

I have two macbooks that share the same itunes account. The data is not synced, so I have some songs on one but not on the other. I am sharing, but I want to sync them so the data is the same on both. Any ideas?

you could see if Doug's AppleScripts has a script that helps with the pre-home sharing content.
alternatively, you could move your library to a centralized location and have your Mac's access the same library file. click here for information.

Problem when deploying on tomcat two applications with same appmodule name

We have deployed two different adf-uix applications to a tomcat application server.
Each of the two applications has one application module, the two application modules have the same name. This seems to cause a conflict between the two applications.
After starting the application server, we can run first the application 'A' and then the application 'B' or viceversa, every time the first application works and the second doesn't. When running the second application we get messages like 'table or view doesn't exist'.
Having the application modules with different names seems to solve the problem, but it seems not so easy to change the application module name on an existing and rather complex application.
Any suggestion? Please help.
Thanks, Mauro

I had the same problem and the only way to solve it was to change the app module name.

Sync two iphones with same info

I have a verizon iphone 4s and would like to keep my att iphone 4.
How can I sync the same stuff on both phones?

You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. So, just sync both phones to your account. You can restore your new Verizon phone from the backup of your 4, if you like. I'd suggest giving each phone a different name in iTunes, just to keep things straight.

Sync two folders with same pictures

Everytime i synce my pictures to my iphone it creates two folders of the exact same pictures one folder is called Photo Library and the other is Pictures which i named on my computer how do i get it so there is only one folder????Thanks

The reason is because you're syncing a folder that has a subdirectory called "Pictures." For each folder inside the one you're syncing it creates a seperate album. In addition, "Photo Library" contains all your photos in one single set.
In other words, if you want to avoid duplicates, do not have any subdirectories in your Photo folder. In your case, sync your phone to the "Pictures" folder and you should be fine.

How to sync two computers with two different languages (english, german) without having entries like "Recently Bootmarked" in both languages?

On a PC i have Windows 7 in running in German, and Firefox also in german. My MacBook Pro is running in English, so Firefox also does.
When Firefox is syncing, both language phrases are synced. The English version adds "Recently Bootmarked" and "Recent Tags" ... the German Version adds "Kürzlich als Lesezeichen gesetzt" und "Kürzlich verwendete Schlagwörter". These entries are the same, only language sensitive.
How can i fix this?

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks for this.
Do you think there is any way to get the content of the libraries onto one account?
Would home sharing work just to facilitate the movement of the tracks?
Thanks again!

InDesign CS5 on two computers with same settings

Hi. New to macs and adobe software, so please help if you can.
Have a macbook air and a imac, both running indesign.
Is it possible to have both machine use the same settings, workspace, layout etc. (ie when a change the workspace or preferences on one machine, it will be the same on the other machine)
I understand about library and snippets, but wanting the main preferences, workspace, swatches, preflight etc etc to all be the same on both machines.
I know you can export and import some settings, but this means i have to rememeber to update each computer.
Looking for a way to have both machines access the setting from a common source.
I have an external wireless drive that both machines can access.
Is this possible???? thanks.

This sounds like a perfect opportunity for cloud-based applications. The app's on neither machine, but accessible to all subscribed users.
You could try installing InDesign on the external drive and starting up from it, instead of the internal drives. Probably there'll be problems because each Mac model installs OS X specifically.
InDesign's able to script startup operations, so you might be able to script copying the settings files from one location to the other, with perhaps a dialog box to confirm/ignore, depending on which location's got the most up-to-date settings. Or, perhaps a shutdown script that copies from each machine's session to "iacsettings" or "airsettings" stored files, and a startup script to choose when launching.

How can OIM provision users with same Display Name in AD?

I can create users with same First Name, Middle Name and Last Name (same Display Name) in OIM if they have different UserId.
But I can not provision two users with same Display Name to one Organization Unit in AD, the resource provisioning shows
Status: Rejected
Response: AD user already exists
Can AD be configured to create users with same Display Name (different UserId) in one OU, or would I have to create logic in OIM to modify the display name so it gets accepted by AD?
Thanks!

Thanks Nitesh. Also, I can create the user with same DN in different OU's, not in same OU.
I agree once we determine that same cn exists in one OU , I can modify the display name by appending a number at the end or something. I understand the logic but I need more details on how to specify this logic in the pre-pop adapter, can you please share more details.
Thanks a lot!
