Time machine+WD mybookworld-multiple computers using time machine-possible?

Hello
i have 2 macbookpro's and a wd mybookworld 1 terabyte.
i would like to use it for backing up using time machine but for both laptops, is this possible?
thanks so much in advance

Hello and thanks very much for your help
situation:
both macbookpros are running 10.5.8 at the moment.
the drive is WD mybookworld 1 terabyte, i couldn't find whether it supports HFS or not
just found that the folders in the drive have NFS, CIFS, FTP, AFP capabilities.
1:
what i've successfully done is associate one of the laptops with the drive wirelessly and via ethernet with time machine.
How ever, when i tried to connect the second laptop (wirelessly or ethernet) it couldn't "find" the drive in time machine (under choose disk)
* [i suspect that once one computer "associates" itself with the drive another one cannot?
what can i do?]
2:
(it should be noted that i tried to remove any association the 1st computer has with the drive and followed instructions saying to delete the .backupdb- "put in trash bin and empty"
having done that still one computer can see the drive in time machine and the 2nd computer cannot.
* [question- maybe i have to delete the sparsebundle file from the WD drive as well?]
help!

FCP to export thru Compressor to multiple computers using Qmaster

Hello all,
I just wanted to confirm, can you from FCP export thru Compressor to multiple computers using Qmaster?
Thanks

Sort of... you can set up a render farm using Qmaster so the files are worked on by all of your CPUs... If that's what you are talking about the answer is yes.

Backup multiple computers using Time machine to a single external drive

Is it possible to backup multiple computers to a single external drive connected to an Xserve using Time machine? We have a Six TB external drive that we are connecting to an Xserve that has three drives. We want to backup the entire

Set the drive as a network share in the File Sharing section of System Preferences on the Xserve it is connected to and see if Time Capsule on the other machines can see it. If so, it should work. If you don't want the whole drive as a network share create a folder for backups on it and set that folder as a network share.

Is it possible for me to sync to multiple computers using an external HDD?

I just bought a 1TB external HDD and have all my music on it, as well as the installed and latest version of iTunes, as well I think I have the iTunes media file on there as well.
So using all of those things is it possible to sync my iPhone 5 to multiple computers? Like can I start syncing on my Laptop and unplug and cancel the sync and continue it on my Desktop
If there is I would imagine that it has to be either really easy or really complex. Either or I would like to know if it is possible!
If you need any more info just ask and I could provide anything that isn't personal.

Yes, if you have the entire library organized properly on the external drive then you can connect it to any computer running the same build of iTunes. See make a split library portable for details. You should also keep a backup on another drive.

Can I sync my ipod with multiple computers using home share?

Once I homeshare all my computers, can I sync my ipod with any of them? Or do I always have to sync using the same computer.

What kind of iPod do you have?
For most iPods you can click Manually manage music on the summary page in iTunes. Check out Apple's document -> Using iPad or iPod with multiple computers.

Can an image of Windows 2000 using NI-VXI 3.5 with a PXI-MXI controller be fielded for multiple computers using sysprep?

I am trying to field an image of Windows 2000 using NI-VXI 3.5 with a PXI-MXI controller. Can I set the system up to retain to original settings for VXI? Some of my computers use a PCI-MXI controller. Although Windows always finds the MXI controller, the original VXI System 0 is not used. I have several VME instruments set up and the target is about 85 different computers. Also the NI-GPIB interface does not show in MAX. Is this supposed to work?

Hello,
Here's an update regarding the gpib error. There has been a Corrective Action Request (CAR) ID:3BI8A578, filed due to a similar issue of error gpibpnp.exe with NI-488.2 v2.2 on Windows 2000 and Sysprep. This issue's workaround involved going back to install NI-488.2 v2.1 or installing the v2.3 release in order to eliminate the problem. Currently, NI-488.2 v2.3 is no longer available for download, however, all operating systems and hardware supported by NI-488.2 v2.3 are also supported by NI-488.2 v2.4 (see link 1).

Portforwarding to multiple computers using netgear router? Is it possible?

I have a NETGEAR WRG614 wireless router,
a G5 iMac 2.0 isight (wired) which is my primary computer,
a MBP C2D 2.33 17"(wireless)
and a iBook G4 1.33ghz (wireless).
I can use iChat no problem as far as text chats go on all machines. I can video chat with all computers on my network via bonjour, and i can video chat with other people on my iMac g5 which is wired. I couldnt on any machine untill i "Port Forwarded" the ichat port on my router. my router requires that i specify a IP address for what ports to forward... i manually had to configure my TCP/IP settings on my imac G5 so that way i can use the ports and video chat (its my primary computer) now its great i can use video chat and i love it, BUT i cant video chat to anyone via my laptop i tried to give my laptop the same IP that i forwarded the ports for but i get an error saying that its in use by another machine (my iMac) i tried to create a new set of forwarded ports on my router for another IP address but i cant, my router gives me an error that the ports i want to forward are already being used for another IP. so what am i to do? I can get the laptops to video chat individually, but i have to assign the IP thats forwarded and the iMac that usually uses that IP has to be off for it to work.
sooo...
do i have to buy another router?
is there a way i can use all macs on my network and video chat?
thanks in advance!!!!

You posted you were doing this

The Port Triggering setting you have would need to change.
The trigger should be Port 5678 on UDP
The In-bound ports should be 5060, 5678, 16384-16403
The single ports 5190 (both protocols), 5297, 5298 (both) and 5353 all UDP unless stated are needed to Log on to AIM and Bonjour
Also ports 5220, 5222 and 5223 on TCP are needed for the Jabber side.
(single ports equals Trigger and In-Bound)

How can I see up AppStore/Software Updates for multiple computers using the same account?

I have several computers in my household which all use the same App Store account for purchases & software updates. How can I view all those installs while not being in front of all computers?
Recently an iMac crashed from a software update. I want to see what installed & crashed it.

Launch the Mac app store on the computer you want to update.
To use your Apple ID at the Mac App Store
Choose Store > Sign In from the App Store menu.
Enter your Apple ID and password, then click Sign In.
Then redownload Lion.

Is it possible to sync PDFs with multiple computers using the same apple ID?

I have successfully synced these PDFs with one computer (iMac) and one iOS device (iPhone).
However, I can't figure out how to sync the PDFs with the second computer (Macbook Pro).
I added the PDFs to iTunes by dragging them into the books tab. I then set the iOS device to sync books via iBooks.
Does iTunes only sync books purchased from the iTunes store?
I am using iTunes v11.1 on both computers.

If you have tow computers that wish to talk to each other then no matter what Buddy List you use you will need two accounts.
If this is a List that logs into the AIM servers it can be an old @mac.com name, the newer MobileMe name or an AIM name.
With a Jabber List it can be a Jabber ID or GoogleTalk ID
In a straight forward set up Jabber Lists (Jabber ID) can not talk to AIM Buddies or An AIM Buddy List (Screen Name) talk to Jabber Buddies

Delete user profiles on multiple computers using ARD

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to delete user profiles on all of my remote clients (250+) using ARD.
Or if anyone knows about a script which can do this and some more.
This is what I am trying to do:
I wanted to delete any user profile which exceeds the size of 300 MBs or older than 1 month.
All of my clients are Intel Macs using newest version of ARD and Leopard.
Thanks,

finding folders by size is pretty easy, modification date is a bit harder.
Here is a script that will list all user folders over 300mb.
I will leave it to you to test and modify to delete those folders.
#!/bin/bash
#list all folders larger than 300MB in /Users
#will exclude administrator and Shared
for user in $(ls -1 /Users | grep -v "Shared" | grep -v "administrator")
do
homeSize=$(du -sm /Users/$user | cut -d"/" -f1)
if [[$homeSize -gt 300]]; then
echo "/Users/$user"
fi
done

Trouble w Logic on Multiple Computers - Using Same Apple ID

Hello There,
I have purchased a new iMac and already have Logic Pro 9 installed and paid for on my Macbook Pro. I want to install Logic onto my new iMac but even with the same apple ID associated, the app store only gives me the option to pay for it again? Any help? Is it not recognizing that I have already bought it with that ID? Don't want to pay again for same program when all forums say I should be able to download. Thanks.
Cobra

In the App Store, there is a tab labeled, "Purchases". Log on with the iMac, and you should be able to download it.

HT4522 Multiple computers on Time Capsule. "Backup is too large for the backup disk" ???

I am getting the following error:
"Time Machine Error
This backup is too large for the backup disk. The
backup requires 15.38 GB but only 3.94 GB are
available."
I have a two MacBook Pros that I have been backing up to my 1 TB Time Capsule using Time Machine. Recently, I have started getting errors saying that there is not enough space to complete backups. Between the two MacBook Pros, there is a max of 400 GB that I am trying to backup. I thought that old backups were deleted to make room for new ones - so what gives?
I used Migration Assistant to migrate everything from the old MacBook Pro (2009) to a new MacBook Pro (2011). I also used Migration Assistant to Migrate everything from an old MacBook to the old MacBook Pro (2009). So, I am now only using the two MacBook Pros (2009 and 2011).
Is it possible that there are old backups on the Time Capsule from the MacBook and the MacBook Pro (2009) from before the Migration? If so, how do I find them and delete them?
My goal is to create more space on the Time Capsule so I can continue backups of the two Pros. Thanks for the help in advance. Sorry if this is confusing. Please ask questions to clarify.

The time machine does not work as well when there are multiple computers using the TC.
It really does not seem able to dispose of the old backups.
Pondini may help..
http://pondini.org/TM/C4.html
IMHO.. The best bet is to plug in a USB drive large enough to save everything on the TC and do a back directly from the airport utility.. disk, archive..
Then wipe the TC using erase.. and do a fresh TM backup on both computers.
Keep the USB drive in a draw for a year and a day.. after that you can assume anything on it is no longer required wipe it and do another backup of the TC.

Confing port 3389 to access multiple computers

Hi, I need to have access to multiple computers using the RDC from windows. I can only put to work one computer at the same time . How can I enable port 3389 for more than one computer???
Thanks ,
Lilly Marin

You can try to use the port tiggering for the other IP's but I think a VPN would be better if you want to be able to access multiple PC's on your network. If your router supports a VPN then use the Quick VPN software for your router version to connect with a VPN. That will give you access to the whole network.

How to sync with multiple computers?

I have my iTunes library on my MacBook and all of my Apple devices synced accordingly. My family also has an iMac, and I would like other family members to be able to sync from the iMac. I know I can use Home Sharing to allow the iMac to view/play the music when my Macbook is active on the network. I also know I can purchase iTunes Match so I can access the music when my MacBook is offline and edit the playlists. Yet, I would love to be able to set up the iMac so the iDevices could actually by synced with that computer as opposed to mine. How can I go about this?

Yes, you can sync your device with multiple computers. Only that one is set to AUTO SYNC whilst the rest is set to "MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC".
Refer to this article:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
However, issues may occur leading to data corruption or data loss if you regularly sync Contacts, Calendars, Notes, or bookmarks between multiple computers using iTunes and your iOS device. Syncing once to move your data to a new computer should not cause these issues.
