Using Messages with Multiple Users and Multiple Computers

I have two users who share two different computers, switching between them during the day.
I'd like to use messages on them for us to send text messages in the office, however, it asks them on logging in (most, but not everytime) to re-enter their apple id password.  It seems that using icloud for messages among multiple computers like this isn't good.  its like it wants each computers to be linked with a particular user, and doesn't like it that the users are moving around from computer to computer
Options to avoid this nuisance?
1.  Would bonjour messaging work, and then just remove the icloud account from messages?
2.  How about setting up the message server on my ML Server, would that avoid this problem?

I'd say probably make sure that in the advanced tab under edit>preferences you should make sure they both point to the same file.
My turn now, how to i post a thread, there's no button.

  • How to use iPhone with multiple computers on iTunes 11?

    Both of my computers are Windows 7. I try to manage my music and videos on both iTunes. I used to be easy, like you just check the "Manually manage music and videos" square, and everything is fine... But after I update to iTunes 11, it just doesn't work. There is no resulting dialog box coming up where I can click "OK" after I checked square, and no matter I click "apply" below or "done" above, the iTunes asks to erase and sync with the iPhone. After it syncs, the "Manually manage music and videos" is checked. But if I move to another computer another iTunes, then it says I'm already syncing with one iTunes, and it needs to erase and sync with my iPhone again... and of course, the "Manually manage music and videos" is unchecked on this iTunes... If I try to check that on this one.. it's the same story happened before... Basically, there is just no way I can use one iPhone on two iTunes 11, is it?

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

  • Is it possible to use Lightroom with multiple computers that are not networked?

    I am new to Lightroom although I have been a professional photographer for over 15 years. Currently, I use the software that came with my camera to process my RAW files, Digital Professional Pro by Canon for a Mark II 5D.
    I have been evaluating the lasest version of Lightroom to consider purchasing it. So far, I love the expanded ability for image adjustments and enhancements. However, in my current workflow, I need to be able to save the adjustments to be able to transfer the files to another computer. Is this possible with Lightroom? With Digital Pro, I can tweak a RAW file and it will save the adjustments no matter what computer I open the image file on. I need to be able to duplicate this process in order to convey to our production department how I want an image adjusted and cropped.
    I downloaded the trail version on two computers, then imported images into Lightroom. Made adjustments, then copied the images to a flash drive.Uploaded images from flash drive to my laptop, then re-imported the images into Lightroom and the adjustments were not saved.
    Thanks for any help.

    After some research, my answer lies in the XMP file. Whenever I make adjustments to the image, I can save my adjustments by creating an XMP file (CTRL S). It writes it back to the original image folder so when I burn the folder to hand off the files to my production team, the xmp parleys my image adjustments. They in turn can make adjustments and send them back to me, if needed. Just took awhile to find the information because even though I am kicking the tires on LR4, it was a LR1 video that gave me the infomation.

  • Can't Use Shuffle with Multiple Computers?

    So I'm helping my dad with his iPod Shuffle, and I'm having a strange problem. He apparently loaded all the music on it from a G4 tower, and now when we plug it in to his laptop, it says that it can only sync with one computer at a time, and you can either transfer purchases off it or erase and sync.
    The odder thing is that it gives the same message on the tower. There doesn't appear to be an option to turn off auto sync. Do you have any ideas?

    An iPod shuffle can't contain music from more than one iTunes library at once.

  • How to use BAM to start an XI message with multiple occorrences

    Hi:
    I am trying to use BAM to send some data to XI. It is working fine when I have a message that has only header information. I am able to do the binding and the message is being sent properly.
    The problem is when I have a XI message with multiple occurrences. This message creates a complex proxy structure like the sample bellow:
    -ZTSTPROXY (Header)
        -Header_Field1
        -Header_Field2
        -Occurrences (Items)
         -Item_Field1
         -Item_Field2
    It is possible to pass data the he Header fields separately on BAM, but I have no access to the line fields on BAM binding screen (it shows me only the name “Occurrence” but no field).
    So, I assumed that I have to pass the whole structure, not the fields separately. Then I tried to create a method on my Business Object that will return the same structure as my proxy, but this field cannot be used on BOR. I am receiving the message OL403 (Data Type cannot be used for methods).
    Ok, I would not give up. I tried to use an Abap Class instead of a Business Object. By using the class I can define an attribute with the same data type generated by the proxy and it is possible to do the bind on BAM (directly to the “output” field, not to the specific fields on the structure).
    But, when I raised the event, the message created on XI is empty. Only part of the tags were there and no field values.
    Debugging on the event, I found that the problem is when it is trying to assign the container element on the method EVAL_ABAP_ASSIGN_CODE on the class CL_SWF_EXP_EXPRESSION. The program is raising the exception CX_SWF_EXP_DYN_ASSGIN_FAILED. Probably because the proxy structure is not allowed on the container.
    Has anybody tried to pass a multi-line element to an XI message through BAM? How can this be done (if possible)?
    Best Regards,
    Flavio.

    Hi,
    why don't you use an internal list for your question if you are from Oracle? JDeveloper 11 and OC4J11 related questions for the public technology preview have their own forum:

    My suggestion is to get in contact with the BAM group internally to ask for documents.

  • Using my ipod with multiple computers: not the usual problem I think

    I've searched the forum and various help documents but I couldn't find the answer to this.
    I have a laptop at the office (work-related, so I don't have any of my music on it, just itunes) and my computer at home. Ideally I'd like to:
    = keep my ipod automatically synced to my home computer
    = be able to connect my ipod to my work laptop and play the music stored on it through itunes there, and also keep it charged and ready for the trip home.
    It seems that the 'manually manage music and videos' setting travels with the ipod, rather than being stored on the computer's itunes installation. If I set it at work, so I can play music there, when I connect the ipod at home I have to reset it (and a few times when I did so the ipod started deleting everything because 'sync my music' was not checked, grrr).
    I just want to set things up in a way so that when I connect my ipod at work it will let me play whatever songs I have there (without wanting to sync anything), and when I connect it at home it will automatically update it. It's simple enough, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
    If I connect the ipod at work and press 'cancel' when the 'do you want to erase things' pops up, it doesn't try to change the settings, but at the same time it doesn't let me play music at all, everything is greyed out
    does anybody have any idea? I don't want to resort to have to buy a usb power adapter just so that I can play my ipod at work without draining the battery...

    Could it be because its an iPhone and not a true iPod???
    i doubt it.
    actually, syncing an iPod Touch (or iPhone) with multiple computers is not recommended @ all. click here to find out what Apple has to say about it.
    all i can think of, i you really must do that, is this:
    to prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod - hold down the option and the command ( on a PC that would be the shift and ctrl ) keys when plugging in the ipod - keep pressing the keys until the iPod is listed under the devices list in iTunes. now you should be able to do what you want.
    however, you do so @ your own peril, as the article above outlined.
    alternatively, consider a setup such as this.
    good luck !

    integrtion Scenario using BPM with two sender and multiple receiver
    How many Application Components are required?

    Hi Vinod,
    1) In integration repository you can have one or many software components it depends on your landscape orchestration
    2) In integration direcory you need at least one service for bpm and one or many for each system in your bpm
    also each connection between systems and bpm must have receiver determination and so on.
    Advice: Please treat BPM as a separate system.

  • 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.

    If you are going to sell a system that did not come with Lion installed you use the media that came with it to revert it to as it was when new, (after overwriting the entire drive).
    If you have a new system that came with Lion and you do the same as above, using the rescue partion. That partition is not tied to any user out of the box. That is unless the software asks you to sign in with an Apple ID before running Restore. In which case I would simply just overwrite your main partition and allow the next user to run the Restore from the Recovery Partition.

  • 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:

    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.

  • Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?

    Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?
    note: one library universally shared, not Home Sharing (one library each, shared to each.)
    I want to share one library stores on my server and access it through various local computers. When I buy a song from a computer (non-server), I want it to be added to the library (stored on server). I want it to auto copy to my server, for organization. I want to be able to sync my phone from any computer.
    Most of this I can do, if i figure out how to use one universal library for all my computers.
    Any ideas how I can do this?

    eyeinit,
    You can authorize your iTunes account on up to 5 computers at a time.
    However, purchased music is downloaded to the first machine to download it, but these articles have more information on moving your music between authorized computers:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93063
    This one is for moving all your music using an iPod as a storage drive

  • Splitting a message with multiple rows from the JDBC Adapter

    Hi,
    I'd like to split the resultset message with multiple row elements and process each row separately..
    Does someone have this experience?
    Thanx, Peter

    Hi Chandrasekhar,
    I tried to follow your advise, but I'm not able to complete the process correctly.
    Let me explain my process:
    First - output from the JDBC adapter goes into the first receive step. Of course, there are multiple ROW elements. (Should be marked the ingoing message marked in the container as Multiline??)
    The next should be the transformation:
    format of the source message is like
    <message>
      <row>
        <column>w</column>
      </row>
      <row>
        <column>w</column>
      </row>
    </message>
    In the message I have the ROW element as 0..unbounded
    and <column> element exactly 1
    This message should be mapped to multiple messages of the format:
    <message>
      <value>w</value>
    </message>
    How should be the mapping be done?
    Is it N:1 or 1:N (because in another thread there was an 1:N mapping advised)
    Then (as you say) should follow the Block step:
    Which message (container element) should be marked as Multiline? And what does it mean: Current Message?
    Can you give me some advise, when and how to use the multiline mark?
    Thanx a lot, Peter

    Hi Anoop,
    You can use same thing like this
    I suggest write ur message through this.
    First set the obecj.
    CALL FUNCTION 'APPL_LOG_SET_OBJECT'
    for local memory
    FUNCTION 'APPL_LOG_WRITE_MESSAGES'
             EXPORTING
                  OBJECT              = OBJECT
                  SUBOBJECT           = SUBOBJECT
                  UPDATE_OR_INSERT    = UPDATE_INSERT_FLAG
             TABLES
                  MESSAGES            = MESSAGE_TABLE
             EXCEPTIONS
                  OBJECT_NOT_FOUND    = 1
                  SUBOBJECT_NOT_FOUND = 2
                  OTHERS              = 3.
    the call for physical memory
    CALL FUNCTION 'APPL_LOG_WRITE_DB'
    In this process you only need to provide the Itab with error messages.
