Using two Skype accounts at the same time

I need to stay online under two different accounts, so that I can chat with two different classes of clients.
As of today I can only alternate between users. Is there a way I can open two accounts at the same time?
I'm on an Intel iMac, running OSX Mountain Lion.
Thanks for any hints.

There's no proper way to do it - although forcing another instance of Skype as a different user seems to work... but test it thoroughly yourself before using with clients. Audio plays from both apps, not sure about mic. input. I'm not recommending it, and only tested briefly with Skype 6.3.59.602, but anyway...
For example - if you create another user account on the mac - named test, and after opening Skype as normal in your usual account, open Terminal & paste the following + enter
su test -c "/Applications/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype &"; exit
you should be asked for test's password in Terminal, then another Skype will open, although you'll likely get a warning message or two (choose cancel).

How can I log into two differant accounts at the same time in two windows without the second window affecting the first.

I'm trying to log into two facebook accounts at the same time in differant windows. When ever I log into the second account in the second window it changes the login in the first window. When I hit home or any other link the first window account has been logged out and logged into the second window account. I tried installing a second copy of firefox in a differant folder that the first but it seems to use all the files of the first installation. If I can get 2 toatally seperated instalations that don't rely on the same history, cookies, cache, etc I belive that will solve my problem. Please help.

Nah, that won't work. Facebook has a feature that gets your IP Address, so as soon as you sign into one on the same computer, it changes the other login for safety purposes (say, someone was on a public library PC. They forgot to log out. Someone else logs in, and it automatically logs them out). You'll need 2 computers to do that.

Using 2 Skype phones at the same time

I recently purchased the RTX Dual phone 4088 which works like a dream. We have several phone numbers through Skype and pay for the monthly plan for worldwide calls.
My question is if I purchase a second RTX phone, can it be used at the same time as the other phone is being used? We use the phone for business calls, mainly incoming, however, we are getting more and more calls and would like to have a second phone to be able to answer more calls at the same time. Is this possible and if so, would it also work with 3 or 4 extra handsets? All the calls are coming through on the same number so we don't really want to operate more than 1 account.
Any advice would be much appreciated before we purchase more handsets.

I have two Skype accounts on the same email; why c...

I have two Skype accounts, and both are connected to the same Microsoft account. One is for my online life, and the other is for those who I care about in my offline life; why can I only access the (original) account for my online 'friends'? If I try and log in using my Skype Name and password, it won't let me. I've tried resetting the password, but it sends it to my gmail, not to my outlook.
Does anyone know how I can log onto my other account through my microsoft account?
EDIT: I've also just noticed that my profile thing for Skype Community is what my Skype should be showing, but it's not...

I have an Apple Ipad Air. I'm trying to use two bluetooth earphones at the same time. Can it be done?

I have an Apple Ipad Air. I'm trying to use two bluetooth earphones at one time. Only one works at a time. Can two be used at the same time? If so how do I get them to work?

The likely reason no one can connect to the mini when it is connected to your work VPN has more to do with your work than your home set up. The administrator at work would have to decide to allow for "split-tunneling", thereby allowing your mac to be connected to work and the outside world simultaneously.

Cannot use two iSight cameras at the same time

I use an external display on my laptop. Close the lid and work on the external display. I connect an external iSight, and a message says that the camera is already in use?!
Can I not use two iSights at the same time?

Hello Webmaster
You can have two iSights connected at one time, but, as explained in Apple's iSight "Your camera is in use by another application" message, iSight can be used by one application at a time. (my emphasis) Check for any running applications, Login Items, or widgets that can use your iSight. (It is easy to forget widgets like Mirror in your Dashboard.)
Different apps select between multiple connected cameras in different ways. For instance, you use iChat > Preferences... > Video settings to select which camera to use, but iMovie 6 uses a drop-down menu as shown in this picture:
The suggestions in How to Troubleshoot iSight should help you determine whether one of your iSights is causing trouble. I suggest you test each one separately and without your external display or other peripherals to rule out possible conflicts like the one that user BombCreative reports in his post at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5868843#5868843
After you are certain that your iSights are working individually, test them when both are connected. After your system successfully passes these tests, you can add your external devices back one-by-one to be sure one of them is not causing the problem.

Using two internet connections at the same time

Is there a way to setup my Mac to see both a wireless and a wired internet connection, so I can combine the speed of the the connections? If not within the computer, is there a way to do it some other way?

Hi
You can have two connections on your machine one wireless one ethernet but you cannot combine the two for a greater connection , you need to use one or the other you cannot use both at the same time as one connection

My IPad is trying to open two gmail accounts at the same time - I'm unable to open either gmail account.

I'm unable to open my gmail accounts as my IPad is trying to open both at the same time and it's jammed so I'm unable to access either inbox. Can anyone help?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

Using two network connections at the same time?

Dears,
I have two available Internet connections:
1- a DSL connection which I'm connected with AirPort to,
2- and a 3G USB modem connection (Huawei E156G if you need to know) which I setup through Network Preferences.
Can I specify anywhere which connection an application should use at a given time, or all the time?
For instance,
a- Safari and Mail should use exclusively (or at first try) the AirPort connection,
b- and iGetter (for faster downloads) should use the 3G connection
Let me point out that I setup the 3G modem in Network Preferences (and that's the way I connect to it).
By the way, if someone has trouble (which I had) setting up the Huwaei E156G on Snow Leopard, I can help.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Abdelaziz

By default, the top-most service in the Network preferences gets the internet connection. All internet related traffic is sent on that interface.
As far as using both for internet at same time, I'm not sure how to do that. You might search for setting up routes. Routes in the network tell it to send certain things to a certain interface, but I don't know how to differentiate a download from web surfing, etc.
You might also want to try posting that question on the [Unix|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=735] forum.

Can we share apps on two ipads using two different accounts on the same computer?

I just got and iPad 2 and am giving my wife my old iPad. She has a separate itune account for her ipod. Can we share apps on the two iPads with two different accounts running on the same computer?

Dear Dah,
I now have two iPads, which I also (need to) have separate AppleID's for. I understand I can share apps between them if I authorize iTunes on my iMac with both ID's, but I am not quite sure about the correct way to do that. I already have the iMac authorized for AppleID#1. If I go into iTunes and click on Store/Authorize this Computer... and enter my AppleID#2 information into Account name and Password boxes, does this authorize my iMac's iTunes for BOTH ID's or does it just change the authorization from ID#1 to ID#2?
If the former is correct, I understand the way to proceed is to xync up both iPads to iTunes and then I can drag and drop apps from one iPad's library listings to the other, right?
If this is not the correct way to get dual authorizations, what is?
Thanks!

What is the best way to use two external displays at the same time?

One of my displays has HDMI, DVI, and VGA inputs. The other has VGA and DVI inputs.

Kappy is dead on correct about Bridge Mode as a requirement for the Time Capsule.
Do you know how to check to see if the Time Capsule is configured this way?
Next question.....you really should not try to have two wireless networks....one Arris and another Time Capsule.....unless it is absolutely necessary. Two wireless routers in close proximity can create wireless interference effects that can cause problems with either...or both...networks.
Best to turn off the wireless on one router to keep the chances of wireless interference between routers minimized.
Are both the Arris and Time Capsule providing wireless signals?
