Using two computers and nano

I am just about buying Ipod nano and this kind of question comes to my head. Ok. I use two computers at the same time (PC + laptop) as I travel a lot, so I'd like to know whether I can use nano on both of them? Meaning, can I plug nano to PC, download music, then get to train/plane and plug it to my laptop and download new stuff onto nano?
I've heard that nano registers to only one computer. Is it true? Does it mean that I cannot listen to music stored on my laptop if it is registered to PC?

Actually, the page I linked to is on this site. It's part of Apple's "Knowledge Base." Under the main support site, if you search for a problem, articles like the one I linked to will be found.

Proper setup for using two computers and backup drives?

I've just purchased Aperture 3 and want to fix a longstanding problem I've had with my workflow and setup in Lightroom. I've got an iMac and a MBP and what I'd like to do is use the iMac as my main computer for Aperture. My plan is to import my existing files into Aperture and copy them to an external (non-portable) hard drive for back-up purposes. Based on this, I'd have two copies of each file, one each on the iMac and the back-up drive, right?
I also use my MBP for a lot of photo editing work while on the road, but don't have a lot of drive space on it. I've bought a 750GB hard drive and I'd like to have the Library on this drive as well for use on the MBP. I know this would give me three copies of each file, but it would also give me some peace of mind in the event I somehow lost the info on the 750GB drive. I don't want copies of the images on the MBP directly as I don't have enough space.
Can this setup be "easily" done and if I make a change in an image on one computer will it be synchronized between the two computers and the two external hard drives? I guess in plain English, what I'd like to achieve is the ability to work on either computer and have the most recent versions synchronize when I attach the 750GB drive to the iMac, with the non-portable external drive as the back-up for the synchronized Library.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kevin

No, vaults only look after a managed library. A referenced library has to be backed up manually.
There are a few reasons i prefer to use a referenced set up. I use a MBPro on the road for long periods and sometimes high volumes of large image files, so the limited capacity HD is no longer a problem.
Aperture does not slow down with a referenced library as the HD fills.
The Vaults cannot be accessed like manual back ups can, there is no way of knowing what is in there, you hope it is your entire Aperture library.
With manual project backup you have a more manageable size that is much more versatile, and is viewable because of its smaller size. You can delete stuff and then restore it from the backup.
It is safer in my opinion to not have all the library in a single library folder. Much safer split up by project.
When i did use a managed library and Vaults there were times when i wanted stuff off the Aperture library but still kept in the vault, which was not possible.

Shared Variables using Two Computers and Crossover Cable

I'm just trying to put together a simple bench test tying two computers together by a crossover cable. They ping correctly to each other. I used the LabVIEW examples for TCP connections and they talk correctly that way too. I try to build and deploy shared variables on one computer, but the other computer will not identify the SV's on the first computer and vice versa.
Can someone give me some details on how to build, deploy, and effectively use SV's? I've read all the NI documentation, but I'm not getting the step-by-step approach very well.
Thanks.

Are you making them network published shared variables and binding them to each other? This doc gives a pretty good step by step:

Using two computers and one ipod

Hi,
I currently have itunes on my windows xp desktop and now on my windows vista laptop. I would like to be able to plug in my ipod and use it as normal on both computers - is there a way to do this? Why does the ipod not work as a normal plug and play device as many other smaller memory mp3 players?
Thanks,
Laura

You can manually manage music (depending on the ipod model):

Adding webpages from distant locations using two computers and two users

My daughter (Italy) and I (US) are building a website for her upcoming wedding. She has a website up on me.com and I am trying to add content to the website - both editing existing pages and adding new pages. She will be doing the same. Our email will not support exchanging a "domain."

Rather than using iWeb, consider building your web site using a free, web-based system such as:
SnapPages
SynthaSite.
Viviti
Shutterfly
Google Sites
...presumably, using any one of the above, you could share the user-id and password, and take turns to update the site.

. I have Adobe Actobat 7.0 Standard for quite a while, and I'm happy with it. I use it for mainly filings at the federal court. They require PDF. I use two computers in two different states for work. I realize my Adobe 7.1 is a few years old, but sometimes I have difficulty using it with the other days downloading a boarding pass, and e filing at the USDC. . There's a problem with Adobe Flash, media, etc. and other Adobe programs, (which I use for downloading boarding passes for airlines, etc.) so basically I have to delete these other Adobe programs, besides the Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard if I want to 7.0 Standard to work. I periodically download the updates, but there's still a problem. My question is: Can or should I purchase another program to update the present Adobe Acrobat 7.0 standard, or just buy a new program such as the Adobe 11? Am I mistakenly doing something wrong, such as when I download? I'm an old valued customer so I don't want to spend a lot of money since I am replacing my Dell XP for a new computer now, and my other computer is a Dell Vista.
I'd appreciate your valued advice.

If you are getting a new computer (for a PC it would have Win 7 or 8), then you will need to purchase XI if you wish to continue using Acrobat. Acrobat 7 is not compatible with these systems (and probably the same for MAC systems), though sometimes workarounds are possible, though not easy to use. I guess the answer is to buy the new version. Try http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_mostpopular.html, click on the Buy for Acrobat, and then select the version you want.

Can I use two computers for my itunes with out losing music

Is it possible to use two computers for itunes? I have one at work I use and one at home that I'd like to use. I want to be able to update my ipod on both w/o losing any music...is this possible?

Yes it is, read more at these links:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing Your Songs Manually

Using two computers

use MacBookPro at home for itunes, music/vid and photos but need to use work PC for contacts and cal.
Is it as simple as downloading latest itunes on PC then turning off autosync features so it doesn't try to use the PC for music - then manually syncing just the contacts and cal?
Will this create any problems with registering the iphone to two separate machines? Will it eat one of the 5 licenses for purchased songs even if I don't let the music move from the iphone to the PC?
Also, any way to alter exchange server settings to make IMAP support the Cal and Contacts? or any other way to have them sync without physical connection to the PC.

I have spent several days going through every posting on using 2 computers and I have been unable to make it work. I use an intel iMac at the office and must sync contacts and calendars there. My home machine is a MacBook Pro and home to my music, videos etc. I have set the sync operation as manual on both, only contacts and calendars from the iMac and only the music, photos & videos from the MacBook Pro. I sync from the MacBook all looks and plays properly, go to work and sync to update the contacts & calendars and they sync fine but now I have NO music/books/photos/video. I'm running the most current software and just haven't been able to make this seemingly simple process work!

My i-Pad2 won't charge after I downloaded some new stuff from i-Tunes. A note appears on the screen "Charging is not supported with this accessory". I have tried charging through two computers and with the wall socket plug (with another cable). I have

My i-Pad won't charge after I downloaded some stuff from i-Tunes. I have tried charging through two computers and using the wall socket,, with different cables. I have turned the i-Pad off & on a couple of times but it still won't charge. Any ideas will be gratefully received.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

USB commnuication between two computers and air

Hey all,
I was wondering if usb communication between two computers is possible and what I would need to get started.
I want to connect two computers and send data through a usb cable. Prior app was using wifi however signal was not consistent and I need consistency.
THanks!

I see you found a solution, but for anyone else who drops in here, if it's an Android app you would need these permissions to be set in the app-descriptor XML:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>

Using two computers simultaneously

I understand that the Creative Suite Master Collection can be installed on two computers, and that the same program can't be used simultaneously on both computers. But does that mean that an individual program in the suite can't be used on both computers at the same time? Or that none of the programs in the suite can be used on the second computer if the first computer is using any of the programs?
And while I have your attention: What is the mechanism that prevents the use of the same program on two computers?

I've done some more research, and, with all due respect, most opinions contradict yours. Here are two examples::
From ProDesign Tools: "How many systems can you install Adobe software on, including CS6 and Creative Cloud? The answer for individuals (as opposed to businesses) in most cases is two. The catch is that both computers must be used only by you and the two systems cannot be used at the same time."
From the Adobe site: "If you own, or are the primary user of, a single-user or volume license Adobe product that is installed on a computer at work, you can also install and use the software on one secondary computer of the same platform at home or on a portable computer. However, you may not run the software simultaneously on both the primary and secondary computer."
So now I'm back to my original question from March 24 (see above).

Technical question: Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??

Technical question:
Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??
Here's a little more information on what I am trying to do.
I have a desktop computer with 4tb worth of pictures that has Lightroom and Photoshop on it. I also have a laptop with Photoshop and Lightroom. I would like to be able to edit those same pictures with their current edits that are currently on my desktop on my laptop. If this can be done, I'm sure I need to be on the same wifi network for my laptop to be able to access my desktop's photo library. I am technically savvy enough to map a network drive, but how do I get my two Lightroom catalogs to sync when I make a change on one of my computers? Would i be working only on one catalog? Or two separate catalogs that would need to be manually synced to the other computer? Would it be beneficial to put my lightroom catalog on something like dropbox?
I'd appreciate any information or tutorials if someone knows how to do this.

I do this by having my LR catalog and photos on an external drive that I swap between the two computers. I am on Windows and have the same drive letter assigned to the drive on both computers.
Because the photos are on a portable drive I back up the portable drive to another hard-drive every night or after important work, because portable drives are susceptible to damage or loss.

You can have functional installations on two machines. The machines have to meet the system requirements for the software.

My track pad stopped working with a single finger/double click when I try to open emails, and when I try to open apps on desk top. If I use two fingers, and then click open, I can open them. Thank You for your help.

Using Elements 12 on two computers and sharing one catalog.

I want to put my photoshop elements 12 onto my laptop as well as my PC. I would like to know how to be able to share my photos back and forth between the two programs. I also use the Topaz plug in's on the PC and will also install them on the laptop. Let me know how I can do this.

What I suggest is to have the picture files on the external hard drive as well as the catalog folder.
The picture files are no longer on your desktop nor on your laptop, they are on the external drive.
The catalog folder is no longer in the default location on your desktop, it has been moved to the same external drive.
You have PSE installed on your two computers (you are allowed two computers with your Elements license).
When you plug-in the the external drive to any of your computers, the organizer finds the catalog on the external drive and all your picture files.
You can edit and add images to your catalog from any of your computers, the other one will find them when the external drive is plugged in.
How to do this? I suppose you have your picture files on your desktop and also the catalog folder in its default location in the desktop.
You have two external drives; one for backup, the other to hold the pictures and the catalog folder.
The first step is to do a full backup on the backup drive.
Then you do a restore to the second external drive. That will put the pictures and the catalog folder in that drive.
Now, to tell each of your organizers in desktop and laptop where the catalog is, the simplest solution is to plug the external drive to a computer. From the explorer/finder, you locate the catalog folder which holds the database : catalog.pse13db. You double click that file, which will open the organizer in the new catalog. Do the same with the second computer.
As I said in my previous post, it is necessary that the external drive has the same drive letter when plugged in in either computer.
