Using iWork on multiple machines

I have a iMac 20" which I recently purchased iWork for, its fantastic and have been using for a few months.
I purchased a macbook last week, and I want to use iWork on both machines without having to buy the software again.... Is this possible? Can I use the same serial product keys on both machines?
If anyone has any infomation that will help, much apprecaited.

If you bought a single license copy of iWork you are permitted to install and use it on one computer only. OTOH, unlike some companies, Apple does not use activation nor does it search the network to see if more than one copy of the same serialized program is functioning. I'd recommend that you adopt Google's motto and do no evil, but that's just me.

Using shuffle on multiple machines

Hi - I have a computer at work and home and I want to be able to have the songs that are on my ipod on both computers. When I connect it to my home computer (having had it running on my work one for some months) it wants to delete all the songs from my ipod - how can I get around this?

Rachel79 and Tedisred,
The shuffle is the one member of the iPod family that doesn't give you the option to Manually manage songs and playlists and as a result of this it is also the one member of the iPod family that doesn't allow you to load music from multiple computers / iTunes libraries.
There is some confusion on this matter because of references to the fact you can "manually transfer songs to your iPod shuffle" but this is not the same as the manual update option referred to above in that the songs "manually" transferred to the shuffle must all be from a single computer.
There is a workaround, though: you can listen to music from two computers with your shuffle if you move all the music that you want to listen to onto one computer.
For some ideas as to how to go about moving the music onto one computer, have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
One method it mentions involves using your iPod as a hard disk and, ironically, you can even use your shuffle
for this purpose. That method is further explained in this article .
If you do use the shuffle , when you get to step 6 of Using iPod as a hard disk your only choice will be to select Enable disk use . You will then have to decide how much space you want set aside on the shuffle for disk use and this will be determined by how much music you are transferring. Note that you may have to delete songs from the shuffle to make room for the data files (songs) you are about to transfer from one computer to another.
Another point worth noting is that in disk mode, you are able to put data from multiple computers onto the shuffle .
Anyways, once the songs have been put onto the shuffle and then transferred to the computer, you can delete them from your shuffle and return to your Preferences tab to uncheck Enable disk use .
The shuffle is now ready to go back to work at its day job as a portable music player and you can synch all the songs that are now on the one computer onto your little friend.

Managing sole iTunes library with multiple machines on-the-go with database&media on external drive?

Hi fellows. Trying to organize & revamp my iTunes library & wish to achieve a configuration but lack the expertise to achieve it. My objectives are:
Objectives
+1. for my multimedia content to be stored/accessed from an external hard disk+
+2. to keep the entire iTunes multimedia & all necessary operating files as self-contained as possible,+
+3. Allow multiple machines to manage import of new content into library, i.e. download new episodes of podcasts, rip new music & movies into the library, sync-ing of iPod even when said machine is nowhere near my external hard disk (this is the tricky one)+
_Justification for my objectives_
For objective #3, it's not that I'm trying to be funny. My use case is I've 1 laptop (main machine & always at home) & 1 netbook (brought to school daily). Most of my iTunes usage will be via the stay-at-home laptop; but I may wish to add/manage new content onto my iTunes library/iPod while I'm outside (hence, decoupled from my external hard disk at home).
I'm not trying to be funny for objective #1 either. I wish to have a streamlined process of retaining & re-instating my iTunes library meta-data across system re-format, i.e. where the iTunes library db files' location may be changed (most obvious being the new "My Music" folder path in Win7 from WinXP)
_What I'm well aware of_
I understand that storing/re-locating multimedia on external hard disk is no-kick to iTunes veteran. I also understand that after a new installation of iTunes, I can move the fresh copy of "iTunes_library.itl" & "iTunes_library.xml" files to my external volume & point iTunes to their new address from the 2nd launch onwards. I also understand any new machines I introduce into my environment can be directed to that exact copy of iTunes library database files when I install iTunes & pressing "Shift" key upon their launch. Lastly, I also understand that I will have no access to my multimedia files (for playback) while I'm outside, but I can still add new content, & download new podcasts & remove old content from my library/iPod
_The question_
However, what I have difficulty achieving, is launching iTunes on my on-the-go machine(s), without a local copy of the iTunes library database files. I doubt iTunes will be able to launch at all, & if I create a new library (just to launch iTunes), it will not possess content from my main media collection & likely to wipe out my iPod.
_My novice attempt & its inadequacies_
My 1st instinct, is to have the iTunes library database files stored in the cloud. More specifically, I can store them files in my DropBox folder/account, & have every machine update to a single latest version of iTunes library database files upon Internet connection. However, this method depends on:
+* the DropBox application to exist forever,+
+* assumed the installation path of DropBox (or any applications for that matter) to persist/remain unchanged across future versions of operating systems,+
+* Will corrupt any un-sync-ed version of my iTunes library database files when I launched iTunes without 1st updating the local cached copy of them database files (suppose I manage my iPod playlists via iTunes on a plane)+
_Open for recommendations_
So here I'm, all ears to any fine recommendations you iTunes veterans have to offer. Thanx in advance.

In case anyone is interested in these sorta thing:
UPDATE #4: Unfortunately, if you discover you tagged something wrong after importing the songs, even when you correct the tags, iTunes will not re-organize the folder hierarchy, as long as “Keep iTunes Music folder organized“ is UNchecked, even if the songs were imported via the “Automatically add to iTunes folder” channel.
Example: I imported a folder of Andy Lau songs into my library, unbeknownst to me, some of the songs had their “Artist” tagged as “Andy Lau“, while some had theirs tagged as “Liu De Hua“. Naturally, the 1st time round I imported them, 2 separate folders were instantiated as to iTunes, those were names of 2 distinct artists (this is expected, & acceptable behaviour). The downside is, even if I re-tagged all those songs with “Andy Lau” as the artist, iTunes will no longer re-organize & consolidate all them songs into a single “Andy Lau” artist folder (because I’d “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” UNchecked remember?)
Well, you may suggest that I check that option when managing my future library & uncheck it right before launching/using my main, current library. The thing is, iTunes preferences persist across libraries, & one day I will forget to uncheck that option, launch my main library & lose all my current music folder structure to iTunes’ re-organization (which I don;t want, as of yet). Which brings me to another update:
UPDATE #5: My future iTunes library has “I:/iTunes_Media” as iTunes’s “Home” folder. This setting persists even when I switch back to my main, current library. Which means, if I’d my external volume connected while launching/using my main, current library, all new content will end up in that folder on the external volume! Which messes up the whole scheme of things! Arghz!
UPDATE #6: Here’re some updates with regards to ID3 tags:
* the “Album Artist” in Windows (7) Explorer = the “Album Artist” field in iTunes 9
* Modifying a ID3 tag field using Windows (7) Explorer will update BOTH the v1 & v2.3 version of the ID3 tags on the song (if the song has both versions of tags embedded & if the field exists in both tag versions). If you update the tags via iTunes, only the v2.3 tags get updated. This is surprising.
* the “Contributing Artist” field in Windows (7) Explorer = the “Artist” field in iTunes 9 & the “Artist” field in ID3v1 tags (changes in tany of the 3 fields will affect the other 2 respectively)
o However, iTunes Media folder organization will only adhere to the value saved in the “Album Artist” field [if you change the value of "Contributing Artist" in Windows (7) Explorer, the "Artist" field in iTunes or the "Artist" field in a song's ID3v1 tags, no folder re-organization will occur]
UPDATE #7: Some updates with regards to workflow:
Decided to retain all non-music content within a sub-folder named “non-music” beneath the main album folder (& take strict precautions to import songs only). The exception is “m3u” playlist files. Have read elsewhere if you import a folder of songs & there’s an “m3u” playlist inside, your library may have duplicates and/or the tags of those songs you just imported could be screwed, etc.

Run invoke-command on multiple machines at the same time

Hey all so I read that if I store my New-pssession in a variable then used that in my invoke-command it would run all computers at the same time.
$a = Get-Content "C:\Users\cody-horton\Desktop\list.txt"
$session
for($i=0;$i -lt $a.Length;$i++){
if(!(Test-Connection -Cn $a[$i] -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet)){
Write-Host $a[$i] -foregroundcolor red
else{
$session = New-PSSession $a[$i]
Invoke-Command -Session $session -FilePath "\\My computer\C`$\Users\public\Documents\zip folder.ps1"
What exactly am I doing wrong I just need to run this script on multiple machines at the same time.
Thanks.
Edit: Also what would be the best way to close all the sessions thanks.

Hi there,
So what I think you are doing wrong here is that you are overwriting the value in $Session everytime you executed code inside for loop. try the below:
$a = Get-Content "C:\Users\cody-horton\Desktop\list.txt"
$session = @() #define this as an array
for($i=0;$i -lt $a.Length;$i++){
if(!(Test-Connection -Cn $a[$i] -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet)){
Write-Host $a[$i] -foregroundcolor red
else{
$session += New-PSSession $a[$i] #add the new session to the array, at the end it will be a collection of sessions
Invoke-Command -Session $session -FilePath "\\My computer\C`$\Users\public\Documents\zip folder.ps1" #I think the above one won't work..first you need to copy the script locally on the machine and then execute it#Why this won't work because of Second-Hop Authentication
Have put comments where I edited your code.
Hope this helps

How to use OSD with Multiple DPs to remote locations

Hi
My SCCM 2012 R2 Primary site is located on my corporate office but i need to use OSD for multiple branch locations in different subnets.in My Organization there is network level DHCP server rather than Windows DHCP...
What would be the complete configuration in this case .. can some one provide the steps..
Shailendra Dev

Hi,
The best way to forward the PXE boot requests to the DP/PXE server is to use IP Helpers in the routers/switches. I assume that the branch locations are without a DP. You can use DHCP scope options in the DHCP servers as well but you will end up with problems
when PXE-booting machines that run UEFI becuase it is not the same bootfile used and it is not really supported.
Maybe standalone media could be an option where you have the most of the TS on a USB stick/Drive.

Using Lightroom on multiple computers with the same images

When using lightroom on my PC I download the images to an external hard drive. When I am away from home can I use lightroom on my laptop and down load images to the same external hard drive and process them and have lightroom on the PC locate them when I return home.
Message title was edited by: Brett N

Yep. If you're regularly going to be multiple machines, the easiest solution is to put the catalog file on the external hard drive, and just open that same catalog on both machines. The alternative is to use import from catalog when you get back to your main computer, to copy the holiday photo settings into your main catalog.

Multiple Machine Render question

Alright, so I just realized that After Effects (I'm running CS3) can utilize multiple machine renderings. At first, I thought this would be great since my typical renders are anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours. But, after much playing around, I realized that it only works for sequences.. which isn't much help because I export the majority of my work as DV Streams or MOV files! Is there any way I can get it to do formats other than image sequences or am I SOL?
I also considered buying a few moderate-end machines and putting together a small render farm in case I couldn't, but I wouldn't know where the best place is to start with something like that (I'd imagine determine what software works, but I can't find much info on that, really).

for PC's only =====
i wrote my own dos scripts to setup network rendering (remotely start after effects engines, copy projects to a watchfolder, and setup RenderControlFiles, copy and install fonts, etc ... took me a while to write and set up and is really the property of the company I work for), but the basics are below and from my in-house help file. Works better for us than collecting footage, basically, just substitute local drive volume names with UNC names, save the project, submit to the watchfolder, in its own directory, and add an RCF text file (try collecting footage, an RCF file will be generated so you can see whats in it). The thing that took me longest to debug was to install required fonts remotely ... any way read the basics
THE FOUR BASIC REQUIREMENTS
The basic requirements for any software that can network render, are that
(1)
all participating computers are able to access the original source footage,
(2)
any required fonts are loaded and active on the participating renderers,
(3)
any plugins and codecs used are also installed and available, and
(4)
all rendered frames, ie, output are send to a common storage area; single frames sequences are the best output format, a single streamed format, like an AVI, MPEG, or Quicktime Movie cannot be created by more than one computer at one time. However if your render queue has multiple single file streams queued, multiple render slaves can render the multiple queued streams, with one slave rendering one of the streams at a time two or more render slaves cannot render the same stream at the same time.
SETTING UP YOUR PROJECT TO NETWORK RENDER
Source Footage Paths
The first problem in the below example is that all the source footage is referenced using local paths. The default network rendering method Adobe use is really best suited to archiving, wherein the footage is collected from the source computer and copied to a common server in a hierarchial tree structure. In this example the source footage is comparatively short, but still over 900mb long, so there is a time issue involved, a network traffic issue, a storage issue at the server end, a server management issue, and if the network render fails, or needs to be redone, this step will need to be repeated or the process hacked by an appropriately skilled person.
To network render, all source imagery should use a file path that can be seen by other computers on a network. The best method is to use UNC (universal naming convention) paths, ie \\computername\sharedvolume\foldername\foldername\imagename.
In the above example a badly pathed file N:\TV1 Promos\sas\sas1.aif could be made legal by re-pathing to \\regan\zone2\TV1 Promos\sas\sas1.aif assuming that zone2 is an explicitly shared volume.
TIP: you can create as many share points as you want. You could, for example create an additional share point N:regan\one2\TV1 Promos\sas and call it SAS so it appears as the share \\regan\SAS. Just right-hand click on the folder you want to share, select SHARING from the menu, create the new share and give it a meaningful name; on XP systems, you also need to specify read/write access permissions.
You can create a shortcut to this or any other share, leave it on your desktop, and that will save you time navigating to that point or typing out \ \ r e g a n \ s a s
Alternatively, you can highlight a network path in explorer, copy that text, and keep pasting it when subsequently specifying paths.
There are not limitations on how many share points you can create.
An further alternative method would be to use the administrative share path, \\regan\N$\TV1 Promos\sas\sas1.aif. Here the drive letter N: is replaced by \\regan\N$. This method is particularly useful where the volumes are not explicitly shared.
One other method is to map shared volumes or folders to a drive letter, but for this to work, the drive mapping must be consistant across all participating renderers, so you would have to run around these computers mapping network shares to drives on a per job basis as required, so it is not at really very practical.
After Effects 6.5 introduced a smarter way if the project is opened on another computer on the network, it will attempt to replace the locally specified footage paths, with network paths. Mostly it works okay, sometimes it doesnt. Footage that is sourced from mapped network drives, for example where W: drive refers to \\Gfxserver2\graphics2, will have problems.
The best way is to use the UNC paths from the begining of the projects construction, then there is never an issue, and the project will always be portable, but if you forget or cant be bothered, or think that using network rather than local paths is slowing you down, ...
1) save your project,
2) open your project on another machine
3) reload one of the missing footage files ... the rest should fill themselves in, if they dont they are probably on another drive
4) check the output is network pathed
5) save the project, and submit that version to the render farm
Ultimately, for this project to network render successfully, the source footage needs to be completely specified in a manner where it is accessable by any machine on the network, so use must be made of
\\computername\VolumeLetterDollarSign\foldername\foldername\imagename, or
\\computername\sharedvolume\foldername\foldername\imagename, or
\\computername\sharedfolder\imagename methods.
Output Footage Paths and Render Settings
Once the source files have been amended to include a full network pathname, the parameters for the render can be set.
STEP ONE
In the Render Queue window, firstly choose a single frame Output Module, such as TARGA or JPEG; a single file streamed format, like an AVI, MPEG, or Quicktime Movie CAN NOT be created by more than one computer at one time. However if your render queue has multiple single file streams queued, multiple render slaves can render the multiple queued streams, with one slave rendering one of the streams at a time two or more render slaves cannot render the same stream at the same time.
STEP TWO
In the Render Settings, make sure you turn off storage overflow and turn on skip existing frames so that once any frames that have been network rendered, those frames will not be rendered again by another machine.
STEP THREE
The destination for the outputted animation should include the full network pathname, so that all the outputted files end a up in the same place.
Warning: If local paths are inadvertently used here the rendered files could be scattered over any local hard drive of the machines that will be rendering the animation, and each rendering machine would not be able to determine which frames had been rendered by other machines, so each machine could end up rendering the entire sequence itself, it the drive letter exists on that rendering machine.
Again it doesnt really matter which of the network naming methods is employed; either
\\computername\VolumeLetterDollarSign\foldername\foldername\imagename, or
\\computername\sharedvolume\foldername\foldername\imagename, or
\\computername\sharedfolder\imagename will work.
STEP FOUR
The project with its network pathed source and output files specified, and render queue setup would then be saved.

Can I use iPod for time machine back up?

I have several iPods that I don't use, and would like to use them as time machine back up drives, for multiple computers.
They are 30gb iPod videos. I am aware they aren't as reliable as an actual external hard drive and that this much read/write can cause the iPod to burn out, but for these purposes I don't care.
I have 300 computers that I want to restore to one master, as they are all used for the same purpose, but currently they all have OS 10.5.x of varying versions. I currently use a time machine backup on an external hard drive to restore the systems, but I have 15 iPod videos, and I would like to use 2-3 of them, to speed the process up.
I use carbon copy cloner once I get a system restored, to restore the stations around it, but time machine is about 15% faster than using CCC, so I would like to use these iPods to increase my ability to restore these systems on a regular basis without having to buy external hard drives or enclosures to make external HDs.
I have tried:
Erasing the iPod in disk utility.
-It will erase the volume as HFS+ (extended journaled) but it won't erase the main device as it shows in Disk utility, it consistently stays as Fat32.
--Same idea if I recreate the partition. I tried GUID partition scheme, Apple Partition Map and Master boot record, but all produce the same result.
I also selected the iPod and attempted a zero-out of the whole iPod using the security options in disk utility. The system still will not let me use it for time machine.
Has anyone been able to use an iPod for backup? Are there any other techniques anyone can suggest to get this iPod to work?
Thanks for your help.

And to clarify, originally I made sure disk usage was enabled on the iPod.
I have also tried dragging and dropping the contents of a time machine backup to the iPod, but it's still not seen as a backup volume. I suspect there are some hidden files that enable a volume as time machine capable. Any ideas on how to maybe copy the hidden files or any other methods that might work?

How to run JMS in multiple machines?

hello all,
i am new to jms, so please let me know how to run jms in multiple machines.
i mean, iin one machine publisher and the queue/topic are running, in other machine listener/clent. so client and the publisher must be running in an application servers. so it means only two app servers can send and receive messages?
then what is the advantage of JMS?
I think the sender will be sending messages and the listener can get them at later time, is my understanding is correct?
Please let me know how it works in multiple machines? and how shold i start now?
please give me the details....
thanks in advance.
charan

Hi Charan!
If I understand your questions right, yes, you can use JMS on several physical machines. They connect using JNDI.
However, you cannot communicate asynchronously through JMS alone. The benefit of JMS is that you have a common interface to use when talking to a messaging provider, like WS MQ, Sonic MQ, etc. Most vendors support JMS, and those who do are called JMS providers. They are required to implement either the Queue functionality or Topic functionality (or both). When using a JMS provider, you really see the benefit of JMS. How else would you secure that your system is loosly coupled? Also, by using JMS and Message Driven Beans you get the benefits of container managed transactions, object pooling, etc.
If you do not have a JMS provider, you still have the benefit of a loosly coupled system by using JMS to integrate your applications, but in a large system, you should consider a tool for asynchronous messaging(again WS MQ, Sonic MQ, etc).
I would recomend you start by reading the JMS section of the J2EE tutorial provided by sun.

Fast Method to Install Oracle Client in multiple machines

Hi all,
I need to install Oracle Data Provider for NET (and all depending Oracle client SW components) in multiple client machines.
Exist any other options (faster) without installing oracle client on each of the machines?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Really what i need to know is if is possible to install Oracle Data Provider for NET (and all depending Oracle client SW components) first in one client machine and then using it as "template", copy the folders of the installation of oracle and adding the appropriate registry entries in the rest client machines would be sufficient.
I do not know if this is possible. This would greatly facilitate installation on multiple machines that i need (i have to say that the machines are in different domains).
Someone could help me?

Can you pair multiple machines with keynote remote

Is it possible to advance multiple machines running keynote using keynote remote?

Not quite sure what you are trying to do.
AppleTV can see different active itunes libraries running on Macs/PCs via Home Sharing, but AppleTV behaves as a single user device in teh sense you can't log on as different users.
iPads/iPhones can't 'pair' with AppleTv as such but can broadcast content via Airplay

Error 0xC004C032, Office failed install, multiple machines

I suppose this is a minor problem in the great scheme of things. And maybe, depending on your point of view, it's not a problem. Allow me to explain.
I'm trying to install the trial version of Office 2013, and I did so successfully on laptop A. However, laptop A's hard drive failed within days, and I obtained a new machine, laptop B. (Certainly, this would be a situation that comes up from time to time,
considering the gazillions of Office installs happening.)
I tired to install the trial v of Office, but the Activation seemed to have stalled with the
Error 0xC004C032, the multiple machines error.
Oddly enough, Office opens and it seems to work. But instead of 60 days trial, it says 30 days. I remember 60 on laptop A.
So, is there any solution other than creating a new Hotmail e-addy and installing under a new account? (I hate making new e-addies; I feel personally-attached to my old one. :-( )
Why is the trial now at 30 days? Why does it even work without activation?
{||} Nehmo {||}

Hi Nehmo,
Are you using Office Professional Plus 2013 or Office 365 ProPlus? As can be seen from this site, for Office Professional Plus 2013, you can try it for 60 days, but for Office 365 ProPlus you will only have 30 days:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-office-365-proplus
Have you downloaded the installation file from the same source/site? With the same Microsoft account?
You can go to FILE>Account to check the product information and see if it has been activated.
Regards,
Ethan Hua
TechNet Community Support
It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
programs.
