Using two computers to make one fast one?

Is it possible to use two imacs linked together to make one fast computer? Like a master/slave computer set up? If so how?

Although I do not use it, XGrid looks to do what you want.
It is a free download and you can get it here.

  • 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.

  • Happy Holidays.  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

    .  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.

  • One account using two computers

    I know there have been a few posts about this. But I can't seem to find a straight answer. Keeps talking about a PC and a Mac.
    I have two macs, one at work and one at home.
    1. When I come home, I want to work on my home computer. Do I have to make sure all the programs are closed on my work computer, to use Creative Cloud at home?
    2. Im thinking about getting a new computer in a few months, can I easily then deactive my old computer and install the cloud on my new machine?

    Question # 1 answer:
    You do not have to make sure the programs are closed on the work computer. The license agreement is that you will not use the software on two computers at the same time.
    Question # 2 answer:
    As Amit has answered above. You have two activations. When you try to activate on a third computer you will be asked about deactivating on the others.

  • Using two computers with one IPhone

    I have two offices, and two office computers. I'd like to sync all the Outlook data on each computer with my IPhone. Also, is there any way to have the music list in ITunes in one computer sync through the IPhone to the second computer?

    On the Outlook data, your best bet is to use something like Google Sync. I have three computers (one work, one home desktop, one home netbook) all synced up with my iPhone using Google. And it's free.

  • Using two Computers to update one Itunes File on network harddrive

    How do I get the itunes files on my buffalo network server 250 gigs) to populate itunes on both computers (not at the same time)? I started to add songs to the server through itunes on my laptop (15 gigs so far). I can find, see and play the music on the desktop. However, Itunes on the desktop is not populated with the music I added with the laptop. I have used the advanced menu on desktop itunes to point to the itune files.

    Here's the deal:
    Up until a month ago, I'd have told you that it's impossible. However, iTunes 7 added a new feature which I have not used, but it seems to be what you're looking for.
    First, you're going to have to make a common library file. This may require making a new library from, I don't know, because I haven't done it. You can just try moving the library file (it's iTunes Library.itl, and can be found in My Music\iTunes) to the NAS.
    Now, when you start iTunes, hold shift until a dialog box appears and asks you which library to use. Point to the one on the NAS. If that library doesn't work (because it was moved) you may hve to go with the option to make a new one.
    Do this from both computers, and everything should work.
    A few notes:
    I doubt you can run them both at the same time.
    There are other things I've forgotten. I'm sure.
    Back up. Always.
    Ask any other questions. Even though I haven't used this feature, I'm sure some people have.

  • Using two computers with one Extigy sound c

    Hello:
    This is my first post; am wondering if there is a way to plug the Extigy USB input into two computers at the same time, perhaps with a USB sharing device? Has anyone ever tried this? Thanks. Glad to be part of the new community group.

    Is it possible to stream audio from two computers (one Mac and one Windows) to a single Airport Express?
    Yes, but only one at a time.
    Does one take precedence over the other?
    No, you would need to determine which computer was streaming music at any given time.

  • HT3819 can I use two or more Apple Tvs on one network?

    I have two Apple TVs on my network, one in a basement cinema and the other in the ground floor TV room - if I use the one in the basement, then stop using it and then later in the day try and use the one in the TV room I get an error message asking me to turn on home sharing.  I have to go upstairs to my MAC turn home sharing off and then on again for the second Apple TV to work.  The same thing happens if I subsequently try and use the Apple TV down in the basement.  I am not trying to use them both at the same time.  Does anyone know if I can run two (or more) Apple TVs on the same network and if so how do I get around the home sharing error I keep getting?  Thanks!

    Of my 7 Apple TV's only one is connected by ethernet, they all work as expected, more often than not at the same time (I probaly haven't had 7 running at the same time, it depends on who's using what))

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • WANTING TO USE TWO COMPUTERS TO EDIT iWEB SITE

    I'd like to use two different computers/two different people to edit my iWeb page. When I open iweb on the computer NOT USED for creating the site, I have to start all over. Is there a way for more than one person/computer to edit these pages...maybe using iDisk?
    Please help!
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    erikpotter,
    Welcome to the discussions area.
    The only way to edit any iWeb-created site with the application itself is by opening the Domain file, found in this location on your computer.
    An iWeb Domain file can be opened with any Macintosh computer running the same version of iWeb the site was created in. You just need to make the Domain file available to the other person/machine.
    Here are some tips for sharing and editing the same iWeb site between two machines.
