Talking amongst multiple computers with only one .mac acct

We have multiple computers but only one .mac account. We would like to isight/ichat with our home-based computers from our laptops (ie: talk with the kids at home while we're on the road...) but can't figure out how to make it work. Do we need to set up SEPARATE .mac accounts ("Family Plan") in order to isight/ichat amongst our computers or can we arrange it all, using only one account?

Magpie is right.
You can get FREE AIM Name(s) here.
You can also get additional free dot mac names if you like. The names will continue to work as iChat names after the free trial (and other dot mac features) expire.

  • I have my ipod backed up on multiple computers but only one recognizes all my playlists.  How can I get all my play lists to show up on multiple computers?

    I have my ipod backed up on multiple computers but only one computershows all my playlists.  How can I get all my play lists to show up on multiple computers?

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to a different computer if your current one is out of commission. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it.

  • I bought a MAC for the first time and plugged my Itouch into it to download my music on it, but is says The iPod "Rick's IPOD" is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What should I do?

    Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one.  Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

  • Can I run the new Mac pro (6.1) with only one stick of ram?

    Will that cause any problems. And if not how much will the overall quality be affected. it won't be a permanent solution, but for a few weeks at least. So can it happen? Can I run the Mac pro 2013 with only one memory stick?

    Per this
    http://blog.macsales.com/22745-mix-and-match-more-memory-faster-mac-pro-2
    the 2013 Mac Pro is the only MP that can use a single stick of memory.

  • Create multiple portal instances with only one database?

    Can someone create multiple portal instances with only one database?
    If so, how is this done, just by running the portal configuration wizard?
    How are most people running with multiple developers working on portal? Do they share a portal instance, or create their own?
    Thank you very much!

    i'm currently using 9ias rel 2(9.0.2) and i have install one infrastructure and two mid tier, hoping that this will create two portal, but it didn't. Can you please tell me how to do create two portal within one server.

  • Multiple events per date with only one photo each - Unwanted

    I have the eyefi wireless sd card in my camera and it is setup to transmit my photos into iphoto automatically, which it does. However, the problem arises in that iphoto creates multiple events for the same date each containing only one photo. I would prefer that iphoto create individual events per date and have the multiples of that date's photos within. I thought I had the settings configured to do so as I have preferences set for autosplit events one per day but I still see events such as - July 3, 2008 - July 3, 2008 - July 3, 2008 - each with only one photo inside.
    I am wondering if it is something in iphoto's settings or the way in which eyefi transmits the photos into iphoto.
    Any thoughts?

    I do not have a WiFi connection to my camera so can not test but am just guessing
    I can think of two possibilities
    - 1 - if you are taking the photos with the WiFi connected then each time you snap a photo it may be being sent which would be looked at as a new import and therefore create a new event - to stop this I believe you would have to not have a full time WiFi connection to your camera or somehow set the camera to send batched - not each one - iPhoto will take each batch into and follow the rules for making events for that batch even if you camera is sending many batches of One photo
    - 2 - You have the preference for making batches set to one every two hours and there is a long time between photos - I'm guessing that #1 is more likely

  • An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro, and I figured it would be pretty simple to move my iPhone to sync with iTunes on the Mac from iTunes on my pc, afterall it is the same program and both are designed for the iPhone.
    I have been successful in getting the Contacts and Calendar to sync, but the Music, Applications, Video and a few other things give me this message when I check the sync box:
    "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase the iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    Obviously, I don't want to erase everything. Actually, I don't care about Music, Videos, Podcasts or Ringtones as I don't have any, but I do care about Photos and Applications. Actually Photos I can reload too, but I don't want to loose the apps I have purchased with the iTunes App Store.
    I even tried going back to the PC and unchecking the Sync boxes on it, hoping this might disassociate it from the phone, but now even on that PC I get the same message.
    How do I disconnect phone from the old iTunes and be able to sync it to the new iTunes? This should be simple right?

    I made an appointment with a Mac Genius and I will say that while it was better than getting to talk to India on a poor quality phone call it was just about as helpful. Sure she was cute and friendly, but I left without my issue resolved and was surprised that I didn't even get a followup from anyone asking about my experience (hence my venting here)
    Anyway, I found a solution for my issue here: http://tinyfish.net/2008/07/18/how-to-sync-iphone-with-multiple-computers/
    This is a real solution to the issue, and has the benefit that I can do this to as many machines as I need and sync at any of them instead of just one. Hopefully, Apple doesn't delete my response since it truly is the answer to the problem and others might be looking for the same solution.

  • ARD won't save multiple computers with same IP and different port!

    I'm trying to access multiple computers over the internet behind a firewall with port forwarding.
    I can access each computer, but ARD won't save the IP address and port (in IP Address column of ARD 3.1) of multiple computers with the same IP address. It will only save ONE. I've tried 'add by address', adding a list for each computer or adding a list for all those computers. Nothing has worked. ARD will actually change the first computer's IP address to 0.0.0.0
    Example: Static IP address
    Computer 1 xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:51 (public port 51 is forwarded to port 5900 on computer 1)
    Computer 2 xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:52 (public port 52 is forwarded to port 5900 on computer 2)
    Computer 3 xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:53 (public port 53 is forwarded to port 5900 on computer 3)
    Has Apple really overlooked this or am I missing something? Isn't this how most people would remotely manage multiple Macs offsite?
    Thanks

    ARD cannot do this as you're asking. If your
    workstations get their addresses from an NAT device
    rather than being "real", the ports also need to be
    forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal
    IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and
    updating function, so if your Macs are getting their
    IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward
    a port to a single workstation, you can only get
    reports, push package/files to etc. for a single
    workstation.
    ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and
    control, though, and there are a range of IP
    addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD
    uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded
    to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need
    to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD
    client cannot listen on any port other than 5900
    while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as
    5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the
    second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You
    can then use the following information:
    Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number
    for a VNC client
    to connect.
    The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD
    administrator on a workstation on the network, and
    then take control of that system from outside, either
    via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a
    virtual private network (VPN) so that when you
    connect from outside, your admin system is officially
    part of the local network.
    Hope this helps.
    That definitely helps. I have ARD installed on my MBP and on a workstation on the LAN. I have used ARD from the MBP to control ARD on a workstation on the local network, but it can get a little tricky. I already have VNC setup on all the workstations. I used to use COTVNC prior to purchasing ARD 3.1.
    I guess what I'm really asking is...
    How do I add a list of workstations and save the settings (same IP address for each workstation with different ports?) to control/VNC via ARD?
    I simply want a list that shows each workstation, so I can control/VNC them using ARD offsite.
    Name: Computer 1 IP Address: 123.123.123.123:5901
    Name: Computer 2 IP Address: 123.123.123.123:5902
    Name: Computer 3 IP Address: 123.123.123.123:5903
    I don't want to have to manually type in the IP address into ARD every time.
    Will ARD simply not add another computer to the list if it has the same IP address but different port number as a computer already on the list? I haven't been able to find a way to make ARD do this.

  • Can we have multiple Podcasts with the same Mac Account?

    Hi all,
    Can we have multiple Podcasts with the same Mac Account?
    For example, I have a single .MAC account and create a website with multiple Podcast pages...or within iWeb I create multiple sites, and each has a podcast.
    Is there a problem?
    Thks

    Its not possible for the same development object. Only 1 person can access an object at a time and if mutiple users modify an object new TASKs are created under the same TRANSPORT.
    Only after releasing the tr you can create a new tr on the same object.

  • Is it possible to use Adobe Illustrator in multiple computers with the same account?

    Hi guys,
    So our company is a small designing tile company,
    we wanted to purchase the Adobe Illustrator and was wondering if it was possible to use it in multiple computers with one account, as we have two computers that are frequently use for designing, or do we have to buy two separated Adobes Illustrators for each computer?
    Thanks

  • HT1349 How do I set up a separate icloud account? Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad, but only one Mac. We are tired of our "stuff" getting mixed up together when we sync.

    How do I set up a separate icloud account? Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad (1 and 3), but only one Mac. We are tired of our "stuff" getting mixed up together when we sync. Thanks much

    You don't need separate iCloud accounts if you want to simply sync unique content to each device using iTunes. I have three iDevices using one ID and one iTunes library and each device has it's own content on it. You need to set up the sync configuration for each device. This is what I recommend.
    First turn off auto sync in iTunes. Launch iTunes on the Mac and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
    Connect one of your devices to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading.
    Click on a tab in iTunes - Apps for instance.
    Click on the Apps that you want to sync to that device.
    Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked.
    Follow the same procedure for all of the other tabs in iTunes ..... Music, Photos, Movies and so on.
    After you have finished making all of your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    When you are done, eject the first device and do the same thing with the other device. iTunes will now remember the sync configuration on each device.
    You can change that configuration any time that you like by following the steps outlined above.
    If you want to continue to auto sync, turn it back on in the iTunes preferences as described above.

  • Multiple page  in only one pdf in adobe forms abap?

    Hi,
    How to display multiple page  in only one pdf in adobe forms abap and avoid > sign in adobe for next page?

    Hi,
    Here are the steps how you can do it.
    1. Create a table.
    2. In the Library palette, click the Standard category and drag the Table object into a cell in the main table.
    Note: If you selected Donu2019t Show This Again in the Insert Table dialog box, when you select the Table object from the Library palette, LiveCycle Designer automatically inserts a table with the same number of columns and rows that you inserted the last time you used the Insert Table dialog box.
    3. In the Insert Table dialog box, enter the number of columns and rows. You can enter a maximum of 20 columns and 50 rows. You can add more columns and rows after the table is created by using the Insert commands on the Table menu.
    4. To add a header row, select Include Header Row In Table.
    5. To add a footer row, select the Include Footer Row In Table.
    6. Click OK.
    Regards
