Using iMac and Macbook at the same time (not as 2nd monitor)

Hi all,
So I have an iMac (2013) and a Macbook Air (2012). I do NOT want to get a Macbook Pro and an external monitor. Here's what I'd love to do:
If I have both computers up and running on my work table, I'd love to be able to transition between them as seemlessly as if the Macbook was a secondary monitor. However, I want to access the Macbook Air's harddrive and contents while doing so. Example: I have Skype running on only the Macbook Air, a call comes in, I want to be able to mouse over from the iMac and take the call. I also want to be able to drag and drop content between the two computers (without using AirDrop).
Ambitious, I know, but is this possible? My understanding is that Target Mode means that I'm only using the screen, not the actual computer, so I wouldn't be able to run seperate software on the 2 computers. And I'm not sure an ethernet connection is possible because the Macbook Air doesn't have one. Any WiFi software solutions?
As always, thanks for any and all input!
Best,
Rob

You can do this with the application Teleport

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.

I cannot use data and voice at the same time.

I cannot use data and voice at the same time.
I am on Wifi (connected) and at the same time I am on a voice call. when I switch to my RSS feed reader it does not sync it comes out with a message cannot connect to internet, I thought it is a problem with the feed reader application, IE 10 behaves the same I cannot browse when I am on a voice call.
This is a very basic issue, am I missing something? Please help.
My Model is lumia 820 with the latest portico update.
TIA
Sandeep

I am aware that packet data via EDGE and voice cannot happen at the same time, surprisingly when I am on voice call I cannot connect to internet via Wifi too

Can we use exceptions and conditions at the same time?

can we use exceptions and conditions at the same time? Are there any dependencies between exceptions an conditions?

Exceptions are used when there are some mistakes , or exceeds the supposed values, we can highligt that in different colours for enabling the validator to notice easily. In this we are giving conditions for considering the value as exceptions. suppose, if the values is out of the range -1 to +1 then exception.
But conditions can be considered as the restrictions given in measure level also. So please elaborate what you meant by conditions

My SB Audigy 2 card can't use headset and musicamplifier at the same time

Hi, i just bought a SB Audigy 2 [D400] and i have downloaded drivers and programs. I run Windows XP SP2.
The soundcard works fine but it is very very annoying that i physically have to change the jack in the green=line out jack from headset to musicamplifier when i want to use my musicamplifier and change back the jack in the green=line out from musicamplifier to headset when i just want to use the headset/headphones .
In the shop they told my that i can connect both amplifier and headset at the same time and then with creative software control whether there is sound in the headset or in the amplifier. But i can't simple get it work.
I tried to use the green to the amplifier and the headset/speakers in the black (line out 2) and then with creative speaker settings softeware choose headphones but still the ampliefier receive the sound and no sound in the headphones. Why? In fact no matter what configuration i try the headphones doesn't work.
But if i change the jacks so headset is in the green line out then only headset is working and the amplifier doesn't work no matter i put it in sort=line out 2 jack or orange=line out 3 jack.
Can somebody here tell me if it is possible or not to connect both headset and external amplifier and control by software which to play? and how?
please help, thx.
Michael

If you can have an ASIO compatible music playing system, then it might be possible to have system like you wish when using Creative Audigy 2 card. Since ASIO bypasses Windows Audio System, you can use both 'drivers' (ASIO - WDM/MME/DS) side by side.
Say you want to play a game (using headset /w mic) and someone other like to listen music at the same time. With ASIO capable system you can output your music for example to "center L/R (stereo) channels" and same time output sounds from other source (using MME/DS/WDM drivers) to normal output channel (Front L/R). Only thing is, you need to set your speakersystem to 4 or 6 (depending which other channel you're using) (and for better 'balance' to adjust "angle" on THX console. You get the THX console by installing Audigy 2 Zs software).
Try for example http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/463/djs9mo.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
Another option:
Say you want to play music through external amplifier and play game online with your headset + microphone (eg. others but you listen the music, you play games)
--> try free http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/4589/tbp7rz.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
If you use ASIO on BeatPort Player you can select L/R individually from the list(s). Same rules as described earlier.
= You can play from 2 different sources simultaoneusly (ASIO + WDM/MME/DS) to two different outputs without disturbance. The other (WDM/MME/DS) source is set 'automatically' output to (Audigy) "green" port, and the other (ASIO) to "black" or "orange" port (as set).

Ipod nano (5th generation) - want to use headphones and charge at the same time

I have an ipod nano (5th generation). Do I need a special set of headphones to use the headphone jack and charge the ipod at the same time?

The iPod nanos have a 30 pin dock connector and a headphone jack. When you charge the iPod you use the dock connector therefore you can use and charge at the same time. You cannot use and charge the iPod shuffle at the same time. You might have the two mixed up.

Can WRT54G use WPA and WEP at the same time?

I used to have a smc 802.11b wireless router and a dlink 802.11b wireless print server.
In order to have WPA and a firewall, I replaced the wireless router with a linksys WRT54G.
Then I realize the dlink print server, even though it has the "g" keyword in the model name, does not do WPA (DP-G321).
Do I have to buy a 802.11g wireless print server? Or is there another solution?
I don't supposed the linksys router can do both WPA and WEP at the same time?
Connecting the print server to the router with a cable is not feasible. They are on different floors.

both of your devices are has a wireless b technology settings, just set a wep encryption on your network rather than wpa because some wireless b devices don;t work with wpa. with regards to your query if wep and wpa can be used at the same time, the answer is no.

I have an iPad 2 (wifi 3G). Is it correct to use wifi and 3G at the same time ? Or one at time depending on connectivity? Thanks.

I have an iPad 2 (Wifi + 3G). Is it correct to use the Wifi and 3G at the same time, or one at a time, depending on connectivity? Thanks in advance.

Your iPad will use wifi first if available. If wifi is not available, it will use 3G.

Using LIKE and IN at the same time

Is it possible to use both LIKE and IN at the same time such as:
select first_name from emp where user_id LIKE IN('1%','2%')
Thanks in advance
--Joshua

Or consider the IN - parameters as a string. Then you can do the following:
SQL> SELECT ename
FROM emp
WHERE EXISTS (
          SELECT NULL
            FROM (SELECT RTRIM (SUBSTR (nums,
                                        INSTR (nums, ',', 1, iter.pos) + 1,
                                          INSTR (nums, ',', 1, iter.pos + 1)
                                        - INSTR (nums, ',', 1, iter.pos)
                               ) nums
                    FROM (SELECT ',' || 'SCO,BLA,CLA' || ',' nums
                            FROM DUAL) csv,
                         (SELECT ROWNUM pos
                            FROM all_objects
                           WHERE ROWNUM < 50) iter
                   WHERE iter.pos <=
                              ( ( LENGTH (csv.nums)
                                  - LENGTH (REPLACE (csv.nums, ','))
                               / LENGTH (',')

Can we use CS6 and CC at the same time on different machines?

We have a Creative Cloud subscription and have software downloaded to an iMac and also to a PC. I understand that we can't use the applications on both machines at the same time, but could one of my colleagues use the CS6 versions at the same time on the PC?

Hi Carol
A subscription to Creative Cloud gives you access to the CC version and the CS6 version of the software. From the original question, it seemed to me that they were asking if they can share the subscription between 2 colleagues if one used the CC version and the other used the CS6 version. That is not permitted as the subscription is licensed to one user.
If you have a Creative Cloud subscription and a perpetual license for CS6 then you can use them concurrently on 2 machines as they are separate licenses.
Does this help clarify?
Thanks
Bev

Use headset and Mic at the same time

The latest MacBook Pro does not come with Mic port. How can I use my professional Mic for audio recording and my editor can listen the recording through headset at the same time.

Oh, but the Retina was irresistible.... The regulars have digital and analog audio input and output.
So, ample pocketed Mac users get to choose between audio input/output adapters that plug into the USB or the Thunderbolt ports.

Using gps and phone at the same time

I am using the S6, great phone however I noticed today that I cannot use GPS (Waze app) and be on the phone at the same time.
Is this really the case or am I missing something? I previously had the Galaxy S3 and I did not have an issue with this.
Please tell me this is just a setting issue not an issue with the phone.
Thank you

This is standard for iPhone 5S on Verizon or Sprint (CDMA) carriers. iPhone 6 can do simultaneous voice and data on Verizon, but not 5S.

Can't use Skype and PhotoBooth at the same time?

I recently updated my Skype to the new version. I used to be able to have my camera on PhotoBooth and Skype working at the same time, however since I made the update I cannot. Depending on which programme I open first, the other will not work. If Skype is working, then the error message 'Camera offline' comes up. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Skype and that has not solved the issue. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Never seeing this problem.
Are you using a MobileMe IMAP account or another provider and account? Is problem when using the Apple Mail application in OS 10.4.11 on your listed G5?

Can't use iPhone and Mail at the same time

When my iPhone is on I can't receive Apple Mail on my computer. I get an error message on the computer that says another client is using the mail (or something to that effect). If I turn off the iPhone the error message usually disappears on my computer allowing me to access mail. Is there something I can do so I can keep my iPhone on and also get Apple Mail at the same time?

[Fixed?] Cannot use mouse and touchpad at the same time after upgrade

Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop, Synaptics touchpad, external wireless USB mouse (Logitech).
Yesterday I did a full system upgrade which among other packages upgraded
[2007-11-08 00:06] upgraded synaptics (0.14.6-2 -> 0.14.6.99-1)
[2007-11-08 00:06] upgraded tzdata (2007h-1 -> 2007i-1)
[2007-11-08 00:06] upgraded xf86-input-keyboard (1.1.1-1 -> 1.2.2-2)
[2007-11-08 00:06] upgraded xf86-input-mouse (1.2.1-1 -> 1.2.3-1)
[2007-11-08 00:06] upgraded xf86-video-i810 (1.7.4-2 -> 1.7.4-6)
[2007-11-08 00:06] upgraded xf86-video-vesa (1.3.0-1 -> 1.3.0-5)
[2007-11-08 00:06] upgraded xorg-server (1.2.0-5 -> 1.4-4)
Before the upgrade, I was able to use both the touchpad and the mouse at the same time, using the following xorg.conf settings:
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "USB Mouse" "AlwaysCore"
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
EndSection
After the upgrade, the touchpad was still working with these settings but the mouse wasn't. I then changed the xorg.conf settings as follows:
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Touchpad" "AlwaysCore"
with the InputDevice sections remaining the same for USB Mouse and Touchpad. After this change the mouse was working but the touchpad wasn't. Finally, I changed the xorg.conf settings as follows:
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "USBMouse" "SendCoreEvents"
with the InputDevice sections remaining the same for USB Mouse and Touchpad. This didn't change anything from the last setting: the mouse was working but the touchpad wasn't.
How can I restore the ability to simultaneously use mouse and touchpad?
Last edited by RobF (2007-11-09 20:20:54)

Try this:
Move "SendCoreEvents" to the Touchpad line (replacing the "AlwaysCore" bit) and then comment out the USB mouse. So in the end, it'll look like this:
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "Touchpad" "SendCoreEvents"
# InputDevice "USBMouse"
EndSection
Restart X and see if everything is working right.
PS: You may also want to consider changing the Touchpad device line to "/dev/input/mouse2" instead of "/dev/psaux" as I believe psaux has been deprecated in kernel 2.6. I could be wrong, but I can tell you that /dev/input/mouse2 works great with the touchpad on my Dell e1505.
