Two people using the same Mac for tutorials.

I went through a tutorial with the writer of a program and he was walking me through the program while he was in his home city and state. I believe this 'sharing' was set up in our .Mac accounts.
I do remember him telling me to get ready to accept a request to use my computer from him. Once he was somehow connected with my computer the on line tutorial was on.
Could anyone help with what this feature is and a "real good article or tutorial" on how to use it.
Help is sometimes not too much Help.
Thanks in advance for any input you may have to offer.
John

It's kind of a rough time to learn about .Mac because it's being changed to another service called MobleMe, pretty much at this moment. But there are some pages on Apple's web site that have some information, such as

  • IChat between two people using the same .mac account

    I am in Singapore. My wife is in NY. We are both using our family .mac account. She is using the account from the computer I left in NY, and I am using it on the computer I have brought here. We both have cameras hooked up to the respective computers. Is there some way that we can video chat with each other using the I chat and our single .mac account. We are both running ichat 4.03

    No. Use a trial/expired .Mac account or free AIM account with iChat on the other computer.

  • Can two people use the same computer with two different ipods?

    I was just wondering if me and my mother can use the same computer with our ipods?

    Glad you asked. Before you get rid of the old one move its iTunes Library to the new one:

    "Deauthorize" the old computer too. Go to the iTunes Store menu and select "Deauthorize This Computer..."
    I hope you get a Mac this time

  • HT1694 Is there a way to have emails sent to both your ipad and desktop and then be able to delete them off of your ipad while having them stay on the computer? Two people use the same email account.

    My parents use the same email address and both want to access all the emails that come in. My mom uses the ipad and my dad using the desktop. Recently the ipad started deleting emails off of the desktop when you deleted them off the ipad. Is there a way to get the messages deleted from the ipad to stay in the inbox on the desktop? Thanks!

    Yes, that would require a POP type email account. What you describe now is the proper functioning of an IMAP type email account.
    Contact your email provider to see if they can help.

  • Best way to go about having two people use the same form?

    Hi guys,
    Relativly new to livecycle and I need some help.
    I've been asked to make a form that 2 different people will have access too, what I need to do is as followed:
    Person 1
    Only has access to the first 5 pages and is able to fill out the form
    Person 2
    Has access to the WHOLE document and can see what PERSON 1 has entered.
    Can this be done with two different versions of the document, or will it have to be all as one?
    Regards

    Well I have done it before by using a button which the second person clicks and this brings up a messagebox which asks for a password. If the password is entered correctly the rest of the form (which is originally set to hidden) will become visible. The code in the click event of the button is something like (in formcalc):
    var correctpassword = xfa.host.response("Password:","For office use only","",1)
    if (correctpassword == "whateverYouWantYourPasswordToBe") then
        restOfForm.presence = "visible"
        $.presence = "hidden"
    else xfa.host.messageBox("You have entered the wrong password","For office use only",1)
    endif

  • Can two people use the same Nike plus and Nano?

    Or will we each need our own. My husband purchased one and I would also like to use it. We work out at different times and it would be nice not to have to purchase different units, but will it upload both or our workout information or does anyone know if we can pick which workouts to upload. Thanks!!
    rachel

    All the workout data would get uploaded to the Nike+ website into a single-user's data.
    However, if you really don't want to buy two units, the Nike+ website does offer you the ability to "name" your workouts. So, each time you work out, the two of you could give your workouts a name that would allow to differentiate whose is whose. For instance, "His Workout #1" and "Her Workout #1," etc. The combined totals would represent both "His" and "Her" workout totals, but you could at least tell the difference between individual workouts.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can two users use the same ipad for their personal email?

    I have one email account assigned to my ipad and I would like to have my girl friend use it while we are traveling. How can she set up her account?

    Depends on how much you trust your girlfriend. iOS does not support multiple user accouts at this time. You are not limited to just a single email account. Your girlfriend can add her account to the mix but you must realize she can also get and read email from YOUR account too because she is using your iPad. You cannot set up a different iPad user account that only she can see. Everything is open and available for her to use.

  • Two people using the same itunes

    my brother and i have two ipods,but i cant get songs that i dowload on my ipod, but he can. how do i fix this?

    Are you using two user accounts or one? How are you trying to add the music to library? How are you set to sync iPod contents? These details may help in figuring out what is the problem.

  • Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?

    Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?

    Hi Barney,
    That's exactly what I want. I have a personal user and a business user on my MacBook Pro. I want both users to have the same contacts so if I add a contact while I'm logged into my personal user, it will show up when I'm logged into my business user. I want both contacts books to be exactly the same; like you said. So, I used my business user AppleID when I enabled iCloud for my personal user and I enabled iCloud for my business user with that Apple ID as well. For my personal user, I selected Contacts and Calendars to sync with iCloud. For my business user, I selected everything to sync with iCloud. The problem is... it didn't change anything. I restarted my computer to see if that would do anything but nothing happened. I'm not super savvy with Apple products, so maybe I'm completely confused.
    Hi Xeni,
    Thank you for your response, as well.

  • HT5177 How can two people edit the same FCPX file? One company, so both people/computers share the same license. Example: I work on revision A and my boss takes it and makes revision B and gives it back to me using two separate computers.

    How can two people edit the same FCPX file? One company, so both people/computers share the same license. Example: I work on revision A and my boss takes it and makes revision B and gives it back to me using two separate computers.

    Have the project, events and media on one drive which is common to both macs.
    You can download FCP X to both macs using the same Apple ID that it was purchased with.

  • Is there a way to photostream pictures from two separate iCloud accounts to the same mac, for display in iPhoto?

    Is there a way to photostream pictures from two separate iCloud accounts (two iphones that I own) to the same mac, for simultaneous display in iPhoto?

    On a Mac, PhoneView is one option (I've been happily using for a year or two). TouchCopy is another (have not heard anything negative about it).
    You'll only get back the low-res versions that were downsized when synced to the phone, but better than nothing.

  • HT4314 I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.

    Hi Jamesdwills,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
    Check out this information from the iPad User Guide.  Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

    Game Center settings
    Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
    Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
    Allow invites
    Let nearby players find you
    Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
    Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
    Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
    Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

  • Two users (on the same Mac) using same RAID simultaneously?

    O.K. I know you should never never ever connect two different Macs to the same RAID unless using Xsan. . .
    How about connecting two users on the same Mac simultaneously?
    In other words, can I have one user manipulating data on the RAID in the background while reading the data using a second user (on the same Mac)?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    That depends on the application in question.
    Since all the data requests are coming from the same Mac, you don't have the issues you would have if you had two different machines talking at the same time.
    However, it now depends on whether the application(s) you're using supports file locks.
    As long as the application that's manipulating the data properly locks the part of the file it's working on, and that the application you're using to read the file reads the locks and knows whether or not it's OK to use that part of the file, you should be OK.
