Using on two computers

Question about using Creative Cloud on two computers: Can I use the Photoshop app while my colleague is using the Premier Pro app on another computer?

Having the software owner working between the two allowed computers (multitasking) is fine. Activation/licensing relates to the installation of the software on the two allowed computers, not the constant usage on those two computers thereafter and really only comes into play if needing to install on a different computer or every 30 days when checking the status of one's subscription. Day in and day out usage of the software on the two computers is not enforced by the software but rather agreed upon through the EULA when installed.
Hope that helps,
-Dave

Hi AndrewHISC
We would need to cancel one of the subscriptions and then you could sign up again using another ID.
Let me know if you wish to proceed with this.

ITunes Library on one ext. HD, used by two computers -- is it possible ?

I "dittoed" my iTunes folder to an external FW hard disk. I then changed the location of the "iTunes Music" folder in the Preferences->Advanced. This worked OK for the original user (user "A") that built the library. For other users on the same computer, it only works if I share the library of user A.
Now I thought, if I hook the FW HD to another, regularly authorized Mac, I should be able to use the very same library, at least as a shared library. Alas, no dice. The second computer has no music. If I change the location of the iTunes Music folder for any user, nothing happens. If I turn on "look for shared library" nothing happens either -- well that's expected because the library is supposed to be shared by the other computer, which is off.
So, it's there any way around? I would like to listen to the same music on the two computers, which I use for different purposes, without replicating and synchronizing the library all the time.
Thanks!

Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

On your OTHER computer, same thing. Plug in the external hard drive, open using the above instructions and point to the external drive to start using it from that location.

Can Quicktime Pro be used on two computers with one registration code?

I'm asking this on behalf of a friend who uses Windows. If you buy Quicktime Pro, can you put it on two computers? Because she might buy a new computer soon and she wants to know if she would have to buy it twice or not. Thanks
.....Sorry if this has an obvious answer or if it's been asked before, but I've searched and couldn't find anything

While the license is only good on one computer at a time you can delete the Quicktime preferences file on the first (removing the registraion on that machine) and install on a second machine. Of course, that is only if you are installing the same version of QT on the machines. The key will be good for any updates of a given version number but will not work with any subsequent whole version number release.

Can an iTunes library be copied and used on two computers?

Earlier this month I tried to get an answer to a problem I was having with using iTunes on two different computers. Stubaan, pqh and GregoryBurbidge tried to assist me (thanks, guys) but I did a poor job explaining my issue. I'll try again...
Several years ago, after running short of space on the internal hard drive of my 2003 iMac G4, I purchased a 250 GB iomega ext hard drive and moved the iTunes library to it. No problems, the songs played just fine.
I recently upgraded my old iMac with a 2.8 GHz Intel core 2 Duo. I added a 1TB external drive via Firewire to the new machine. I gave my old G4 and 250 GB to my daughter, but before I did that, I "clicked and dragged" the iTunes library from my old 250 GB hard drive to the new 1TB drive, hoping that all the songs we had on the original iMac/external drive could be used on the new machine/external drive. It appears that the library was copied over successfully, but iTunes in my new iMac can't locate songs when I try to play them (the dreaded ! sign). I've gone into the preferences and tried to choose the iTunes library folder on the new hard drive as the location, but "no go."
Is it even allowable to copy over the iTunes library and be able to play all the songs on both the "old" computer and the "new" one.

Chris, Roaming and Mike:
Thanks for your responses. To answer Chris' question, when I originally moved what I thought was the library from my old iMac G4 to to my first external hard drive, I did it using Preferences -- Advanced--Change Music Folder Location option. I renamed the Music Folder "iTunes Location" and "consolidated the library" onto my old external hard drive. That worked fine. It was that "Music Folder" (what I thought was the "library") that I copied over (clicked and dragged) from the old external hard drive to the new external hard drive. The problem arose when I disconnected the old external hard drive and tried to play songs on my new iMac. The songs came up as not being found.
Is it an "authorization" issue, or something else. Thanks again for your help.

How to use iPhoto two computers?

how can I transfer my slideshows and iPhoto Library to another Computer?

o move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

Download install files for use on two computers

I want to install Creative Cloud on both my iMac and Macbook (as per the Licensing Agreement). As I have a slow internat connection, can I downlaod the files, copy to the second computer and install on that one? If so, where do the files reside?

Refer to this:
Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
Make sure to install the application manager/ CCApp before running the standalone installers or you will get warnings and it won't work.

I can use the same account on two computers?

I can use the same account on two computers?

You can use the same serial number on two computers, given the conditions in the end-user license agreement (You cannot have Lightroom using the same serial number in use on two computers at the same time, and both installations must be for your own personal use.)

Using FCPX on two computers

I have an iMac 27" that's a few years old running 10.6.8-- just before Thunderbolt came out unfortunately-- and also a MacBookPro (which does have Thunderbolt). While I do most of my editing on the iMac, I might need to use the MBP to tweak things for clients while I'm away from the studio. I am mostly a stills shooter, and I'm still learning the vagaries of video editing. Just took a nice little course in FCP10, had previously been using FCX (X as in "Express") and Premier. I just purchased FCP10 toady.
I am hoping that as with FCX, I will be able to use FCP10 on both computers without buying two versions. That was allowable as long as it was not being used on two computers at the same time. Can someone please confirm that this is the case?
Also, I am planning on using a 128GB USB thumb drive to carry the work between the two computers for a project I am currently working on. It's USB 2.0, and I know that's not optimal as far as speed is concerned, but since all of the final videos I'll be creating for the project are under four minutes, I'm hoping that won't be a horrible problem, just a mildly frustrating one.
At the class I took, we grabbed a disk image off of the network drive to use on the local computer, then put it back at the end of the class. Will something like that work with the USB dongle between the iMac and MBP? Many thanks for all info. -JB

You can use Final Cut Pro X on two computers, all you have to do is on the second computer, login to the Mac App store with the account you purchased the first one.
I'm on 10.6.8 and I recently moved from FCEx to FCPX (I prefer these abbreviations), and had to learn everything all over again, FCPX is nothing at all like any previous version of FCP, so you will have a learning curve, but having said that, FCPX is far better than FCEx.
Moving the folders from the flash drive to the computer each time would work. The general consensus is to have your Event and Project folders on a fast external drive, just so you can move it to any computer you wish, no need to copy folders back and forth from internal and external drives, FCPX recognizes those folders on any drive automatically, just be sure to back up the external drive. BTW, you must create Event and Project folders and move them from one drive to another within FCPX (which you might already know).
The USB 2.0 flash drive is excrutiatingly slow. I'd buy a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter for the MacBook Pro, then use an external Firewire drive to move between the two computers.

Sharing a single itunes library between two computers - must be possible!

Hi there,
This is probably a commonly asked question, but I cannot find a step by step guide to doing it (if indeed it is possible).
I have got a copy of itunes running on my media computer/server in my living room. What I want is to connect my laptop over the network and share this library - the effect being that it is like I am using the original computer.
In essence I want to be able to add muscic, edit tracks, update my ipod from either computer and the changes be made in respect of both computers. I suspect that this is done by making sure that the laptop uses the same database information as that created by my main computer but am not really sure where to start.
Could anyone perhaps give me a step by step guide as to how to do this - a single database that can be used by two computers each running itunes. One thing I am pretty sure is not possible is to for two people to be using itunes at the same time, so I would ahve to avoid this.
Thanks very much.

Ah. Sorry about that, I guess I skimmed over the add music part. Correct, in that the home sharing wouldn't allow you to add music to the media server library. The only thing that I can think of that would give you what you want is to use a shared folder on the network and then map both of the iTunes to that folder. At least that way music would go into the same folder. The only question is about the library on the other computer, if it would get updated when you use the other to add music.

Premiere Elements 13 on two computers?

Can Premiere Elements 13 be used on two computers?

glennpsychdoc
The same purchased activated serial number can be used on no more than 2 of your computers. And, as has been written about by others in this forum, these two should not be run at the same time. Those mentioning this detail reference the Adobe Licensing Agreement.
Please let us know if that is the information that you seek.
Thank you.

Can two computers use the same backup??

I restored a seperate Macbook pro from the Time machine backup of MY Macbook. So I have two computers operating from the same backup. Is that recommended??

Yes, it should do. Once you change the name of the computer make sure you reset TM
See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
When you start the backup it will create a new sparsebundle.. (like a virtual disk that holds the backup on network drives) and you will be able to check that it is correct because it should be a new full backup.
Then you can do a full backup of one of the machines.. the other machine can continue to use the original backup.

I have a new Macbook Pro - trying to migrate files etc from my Macbook Air using a Thunderbolt Cable between the two. I follow the directions but the two computers never "discover" each other. WiFi connect works but 70 hours is a rough deal.
