Time capsule? Firstly I want to know if you can update your back-ups on a day-to-day basis? And is it possible to update another/different MacBook everyday from that same back-up?

The situation is my parents have a business and each have a MacBook, they want a system where they share files with each other. BUT they want it to be done automatically on a day to day basis. For example if my dad creates a quotation for a client of his, and my mom wants to come home with the laptop to work on this file. What must happen is that before my dad leaves, he backs up his MacBook to the Time Capsule (only the new files get updated) and then my mom will then click a button and it will update the new files that my dad has backed up to the Time Capsule. BUT it should also work the other way around.
So in short they want a system where whatever new files they create on their MacBook will be saved on the other MacBook simultaneously.
They do not want to create a central server where they manually have to go and save and fetch new files, they want it to be automatic. They want to in layman's terms, work on one pc image with two actual computers.
Is this even possible?? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me in this matter before my dad goes and spends a lot of money on something that might not even be feasible.
Kind Regards
Mark

I understand what you want.. but it is the wrong way to do it.
You will get into a mess with using TM this way. It is designed for backup of individual machines.. you are trying to use it for a file server.
They do not want to create a central server where they manually have to go and save and fetch new files, they want it to be automatic.
The ironic thing is you are trying to use Time Machine as a central server.. only it is not.
A central server is exactly the right way to do it. But it can be done automatically.. you just use some synchonisation software. (Central server means you all work on the same files and you have centralised backup)

Using some cloud method would be the other suggestion.. but I am not sure exactly how to do it. I have lousy internet so cloud is really too hard to use for storage.. but Apple do lots of stuff to help people with cloud to synchronize fies.

    roaminggnome was referring to the page that you posted from i.e. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292
    You've tried contacting iTunes Support as it suggests on that page ? If not then you can contact them via this page and see what they say (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

    hi i wanted to know whether you can get a virgin nano sim for my iphone 5

    In what country? Virgin is a supported GSM carrier in Canada. In the US, they are a CDMA carrier. In the UK, they are unsupported. They may have Nano-SIMs there, but you'll have to ask them.

  • I want to know if you can put the fringe season on iTunes

    I want to know if you can put the fringe season on iTunes

    No, and iPads (and other iOS devices) don't need one (unless you jailbreak it). The only place to get apps for your iPad is via the app store, either directly on the iPad via the App Store app or via the app store on your computer's iTunes and then syncing it to the iPad - but there aren't any 'proper' antivirus apps in the App Store.
    As long as you have antivirus software on your computer then you should be ok - viruses can't affect the iPad, but if you download an infected file on your iPad and then copy it from your iPad to your computer then your computer's AV program should detect it when you copy it

  • I want to know if you can resend receipts from past dates

    I purchased an item on July 5th from itunes. The item was a music album. My mom deleted the receipt on July 5 from the recent purchase I got from my ipod, which was the album. I want to know if you can send us that receipt again, so I can look at it. Thanks for your help.

    You are not addressing Apple/iTunes here. We are all just users like yourself. To contact iTunes:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    Why do yo want the receipt? You can go to iTunes>Store>View Account. Then sign into your account and view your purchase history. It give you the date and price of purchases.

    Ok.
    Did you ever have possession of this phone?
    Or did you get lost in the mail?
    You're not answering the question I'm asking, so it's really hard to help you.
    As already stated by Chris and I you can only track your phone if you had findmyiphone enabled in icloud settings.
    Then you can log into icloud.com and use the find my iphone app.
    Since you said you don't have internet, then you can't track it.

  • Anyone know if you can use your credit amount on your iTunes card to pay for yearly iCloud more backup storage?

    Anyone know if you can use your credit amount on your iTunes card to pay for yearly iCloud more backup storage?

    Thank you. I will try it... I'm trying Not to use my credit/debit card online.. I have both iTunes credit & App Store card credit on my iTunes I hope this works! I don't want my storage down graded before I can get another iTunes card.. I wish they had an extension date for few days.. (More personal note - single mom,y child is sick & so not going to store in the next few days to purchase iTunes card..)
      Why wouldn't they allow App Store credit to be used since its used to buy apps & songs via iTunes.. Seems kinda misrepresenting to be an apple card that connects all these apps & devices together, but you can only utilize iTunes card credit or credit/debit card for iCloud...!!??

  • Beginner wants to know how you can on the first loop enter a value then let a feedback number take over from there

    How can I on the first loop enter a number into the amplitude subsection of the simulated signal box, and then from that loop onwards use the feedback number?
    I am using a simulated signal, tone measurements, and case structure with + or - calculations depending on orignal reading to control the amplitude to a user defined value.
    Any help would be very much appreciated, as i have just started out on labview 7
    Cheers

    That's the purpose of a shift register or feedback node. They are the same thing and interchangeable. Loop at the attached picture. You initialize either outside the while loop and then whatever calculations you perform, are passed to the next iteration.

  • I want to know if you can delete the apps that show up .. All the ones you look at or buy ? How do you get them off I pad ?

    I m wondering if you can delete the apps that show up that you have looked at or have purchased ? I have some that I'm trying to delete but don't know how to do it ...please help or let me know if it can be done ... Thanks

    To delete any apps but the ones that are hard wired into your ipad, hold your finger down on the app icons until they start to wiggle. When they do, you'll see red circles with white X's in them. Tap on that and follow the prompt to delete the app.
    If you can't delete apps, look in settings, general, restrictions and make sure that deleting apps hasn't been locked out.

  • Hello I wanted to know if you can use a single code of a card itunes for two iphone  thank you

    I had trouble inserting the card code on itunes and I can not even download WhatsApp I have tried both with paypal that dell'itunes card with the code that I have used with another iphone anyone know how I can fix it?

    Not sure from your post what your problem is. If you've successfully redeemed a gift card onto your account then it's balance should be accessible from wherever you use your account - so if you have your account on 2 iPhones then you should be able to spend the balance from either as well as from your computer's iTunes.

  • Does anyone know if you can upgrade your phone (is due)  but be able to stay on the plan i have (unlimited data)  which is a plan no longer offered?

    i am available for phone upgrade and would like a new phone but do not want to lose the plan i currently have,  which includes unlimited data (i got it before verizon stopped it).  does anyone know how to upgrade phone,  and not change plan?

    Yes, I've done it in the past; just make sure you do it in a store so you'll have someone who'll take accountability for it.
    I think the phone itself is part of it... if you go from Android to Iphone then you need a different data package, but staying within the same sort of phone should keep you safe.
    Android or iPhone data is all the same. I have 4 iPhones and 1 Android phone all on the same plan.
    What you can't do and keep your unlimited data plan is get a new phone from Verizon at a subsidized price. You must pay full price from Verizon or get you new phone from somewhere else and then activate it on your Verizon plan. i.e. craigslist, ebay, or third party.
    Good luck,

    The general assumption is that Apple no longer has OS 10.5 install disks. However, some people in the US have been able to get a copy by phoning the US Store at 1-800-MY-APPLE and asking for an operating system specialist, than asking for OS 10.5 install disks. Not a "sure thing" and the last ASC report of someone doing this that I've see was about 16 month ago. Still, it costs nothing to hear the word, "no," but you might get lucky.
    Otherwise you are thrown into a miasma of confusing third-party offerings. Legitimate copies of old Mac OS software, especially 10.4 and 10.5 are in high demand and, as such, attract the scammers and the scalpers. I have seen legit copies of 10.5 offered for more than the market value of a used G5 iMac. Not worth it.
    Try auction sites or Amazom but remember there are NO SAFE, LEGAL downloads of any Mac OS software. Some people will sell you a download license that doesn't exist. Another resource is a Mac Users group. Find one in your ara with this link:
    http://appleusergroupresources.com/?s=apple+user+group+near+me
    Gray disks from another Mac model will likely not work, and a gray disk that shipped with an intel Mac definitely won't. A full retail install Leopard 10.5 disk looks like this:
