What's the point of having more than one computer "Authorized"?

Why must it delete all my data just because i want to sync one song from either of my computers. this is stupid and i cannot stand Apple. why can't i sync between both of my computers? <Edited by Moderator>

Sorry, but I have no clear idea what your problem is or what it is you are trying to accomplish. I know you're frustrated and update; if you calm down and post your situation and goals clearly and calmly, I'm sure someone here can help you sort things out.
If you're referring to synching to an iPod (my crystal ball is in the shop so I'm guessing) and are trying to put content onto the iPod from more than one computer, you have to set it to manual management.

What are the consequences of having more than one iphone connected to the same itunes on 1 computer?

I'm wondering if there are any weird problems or glitches to be expected when 2 iphones are connected to the same itunes on a single computer. My wife and I both have iphone 5's with separate apple IDs. We only have one computer with one user account so both iphones are signed in to the same itunes. This seems to be a totally normal thing to do. Both phones appear when I open itunes and itunes lets me choose which phone I want to look at the information for, sync, etc. However I have noticed some unusual behavior. For example, sometimes when I am checking apps or installing new apps on my iphone, even when I am away from home and our computer, her apple ID will show up. I have never entered her ID into my phone. Are there any other quirks I should know about and is there anything else to watch out for when we both have our phones connected to one computer in this way?

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

What is the exception for finding more than one row?

What is the exception if you do a select and get more than one row? no_data_found is the exception for not finding any, what is the exception for finding "too much". Thx

Funnily enough there is a complete list of predefined exceptions in the documentation .

What are the benefits to having more than 1GB RAM?

I notice the repeated advice in this forum over the question of "Should I get a Matched pair of 2 x 512MB or total 1.5GB RAM in my iMac G5 Rev. A/B?", and the answer always seems to be "more RAM will always perform faster."
Oh yeah, why? Someone point me to an informed link on subject somewhere else on the web. I mean no offense, but I wonder if, in this case, one bit of misinformtion became Gospel truth that keeps getting repeated over and over.
I'm fairly knowledgeable when it comes to Macs, but I don't understand this response that more RAM will always perform faster. Yes, yes, I know that barefeats.com found very little real-world performance gains in their testing of matched pairs vs. unmatched, or 128-bit vs. 64-bit, in the iMac G5. The same would be true of using CL2.5 vs. CL3.0 RAM -- you just ain't gonna see that much difference. But we are not talking processor speeds or hard drive RPM, which WILL affect all users. More memory is just more memory. If you are not using it, what good does it do? How will more unused memory "speed things up?"
I use a neat little program called "Menumeters." It puts my CPU/Disk/Memory/Network activity all in my menu bar. For the memory, it lists USED and FREE memory. Right now on my 1GB Mac Mini it is using 192MB RAM with 832MB FREE with 3 applications open, one of them being Safari.
I recently DOWNGRADED the memory in my iMac G5 2.0GHz from 2GB to 1GB. Why? Because menumeters showed that even in my 2GB iMac, my memory usage never went above about 800MB. Mind you I do video editing in Final Cut Express, I create DVD's in iDVD, I do photo editing in Photoshop, I manage my 8K digital photo library in iPhoto, and I could have all these and other applications open and running and my memory usage never went above 800MB. Every time I have checked my pageouts have been 0, meaning I never had to write the memory contents to my hard drive.
Which begs the question, how is having 1.5 or 2.0GB of RAM going to be a benefit over 1GB of RAM, when I have never needed more than 1GB of RAM in my Mac? I ask because I can either go with 1.0 or 1.5GB of memory in my iMac G5 right now, as I will sell either the 1GB or 512MB memory on ebay. But I'd like to know if someone can give me a compelling reason to put the 1.5GB in my iMac. Otherwise, it just seems like wasted $ to me, as I'll make over double selling the 1GB vs. the 512MB module.

"you are telling me what my needs are based on your needs."
Eric, I have never told you what your needs are or should be. Did I once tell you you were wrong to have 2GB of RAM in your system? No. Did I say it is foolish for anyone to run 2GB of RAM in their iMac? No. Did I say 2GB of RAM in everyone's system would be an unnecessary excess? Certainly. Have you advised people to go for 1.5 or 2.0GB of memory instead of 1GB of memory without doing a needs anaylsis? You most certainly have, here and here and here, even after the original poster states they only want to buy a 512MB module, and in the last example, after someone else in that thread encouraged the novice Mac user to do a needs assessment. I'll let each reader determine for themself which they feel is the irresponsible advise.
Also, I never said "the average user, 'just isn’t going to need more than 1GB of RAM, now, or in the life of his iMac G5'" as you claim I did. I said a person running Safari, Mail, and iPhoto will not need more than 1GB. I consider that a light user. To clarify, to me a light user and an average user are not synonymous. And yes, a light user could get by with 512MB with virtual memory on occassion with an approximate 5% system slowdown, a slowdown which will probably not even be noticable.
What is need? To me if someone experiences an occassionaly pageout does not mean they need to go out and buy more memory. As a comparison, imagine you have a china setting for 12 people you received as a wedding gift. Every Sunday your wife fixes a nice dinner and uses the china. Typically you have 4-8 people at dinner every week, depending on if your brother's family joins you or not. But because of a special occassion -- a graduation that weekend -- you have 14 people at your house for lunch. Do you go out and buy enough china for 18 or 24 people, or do you and your wife use your everyday tableware for yourselves and give the other 12 guests the china that one day and save the expense?
See where I am going? 1.0GB of memory vs. 1.5 or 2.0 compares to 12 china settings vs. 18 or 24. And, no, I am NOT saying you, Eric, should only have 1.0GB of memory, but just if a person's needs dictate that.
Someone might stock the cabinet with 24 china settings when 29 meals out of 30 they have only 4-8 people eating on their china. But someone like myself, and other people that are budget conscious, probably will not want to do that. And I know you can change the illustration to support going for a higher amount of RAM, but my point is that for most iMac users, I do not believe that is something they really need.
Regarding your remark about data manipulation, I am sorry if the facts do not support highway's claims. The point of highway's whole remark was based on the premise that Apple shipped 64MB of RAM as the base amount for an iMac of 4 years ago. I showed where that was not a true statement. How is that data manipulation? And the main point of what I wrote was to show how someone writes an erroneous bit of information, then someone else picks up on that and repeats it, and soon more and more come to believe that misinformation. You can see that going on in these posts here and here with Barbara and here with CanadaRAM, either from misinformation from barefeats, or from others users on this board. Notice no one asking about the poster's needs, but just advice to get a higher amount of RAM.
Again, anyone reading this should do a needs assessment. I noticed, Eric, in your last post you acquiesce about the validity of doing a needs assessment. That's not one small detail. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT of this discussion. I hope to see less cookie-cutter responses in this forum in regards to memory purchasing and see more responsible advice to determine one's need, especially for the novice users who are asking the questions and won't do any more fact-finding than the advice given them on this board.
I appreciate the advice of those in past threads who have asked a poster to determine their needs in their RAM buying decisions. In my opinion, that is the best advice they can receive. And I am more than done with this topic, as look at how much I repeated information in this last post that I wrote previously.

Can I pair the BT MM to more than one computer?

I have an iBook G4 and a G5 desktop.
Will I be able to use the Bluetooth Mighty Mouse with both of these computers? (One computer at a time - one will be on, while the other will be off) Or do I have to purchase a second BT MM?
David

I've been able to pair the MM with an iMac and a MacBook Pro. They are both sitting on the same desk. How do I get MM to switch from one to the other?

Can I activate the Cloud software on more than one computer? [was:Gerry]

I purchased a single user PS CC license last year. During the interim the nature of my work has neccesitated that I have to work at two sepearte offices (one at home and one at my formal offices). Is it possible to "switch" the license to the different computers when I am at the different locations?
Can I log off at the office and login at my home office and vice versa? Use of the license will therefore be either at the office or at my home office but never both at the same time?

On the computer where you want to deactivate the Cloud, launch any Cloud app e.g. Photoshop CC 2014 and click Help > Sign Out.
Activation & Deactivation Help
That will deactivate all Cloud apps on that computer. (They can be reactivated at any time by signing in again.)
On the new computer, sign in to your Cloud account with your Adobe ID, download the Cloud app then download the software.

Am i correct in thinking that i can download the Creative Cloud on more than one computer?

Just as the description says

Hi,
If you have purchased a single license, you can install it on two separate machines. However, you can only run it only on one machine at a time.

Nakul

Can the iPhone sync with more than one computer?

Hello, I have a Intel mac book pro and a G4 mac pro. I authorized the iphone on my mac book pro and want to use it with my G4 tower I get a OxE000004 error when I try to sync with itunes to down load my podcasts at work on my G4.

That's interesting. I wonder why it works for me? I was very surprised when it did, I must say. But here's a possiblity: the computer where I sync the videos is my wife's (wanted to get her demo reel and commercials and they weren't on my computer) and she has NO music on her computer. The computer where I sync my music is MY computer, and I DO have videos set to sync to my iPod and a bunch of music, and the computer where I sync my contacts, calendar and email accounts is at work where I don't have any music or videos.
I just sat down at work here and synced my calendar and I still have only 100MB of free space. Last night, I left it plugged into my computer, and I still see the videos that I synced from my wife's computer on it.

Installing Lion on more than one computer

Does anyone know how to install the Lion OS on more than one computer? I downloaded and installed Lion on my iMac today, but want to do the same for my other two computers as well. Is there a way to find the DMG file and save it onto a flash drive instead of downloading it all over again? I searched using Spotlight and could not find the downloaded file anywhere.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

If the iMac was already updated, then the installer is no longer on the computer.
The easiest way to do this on your other Macs is to sign in to the Mac App Store using the same Apple ID as on the iMac, find Lion and click "INSTALL." You will not be charged again.

Connecting to more than one computer?

Anyone know if you can connect the iPod touch to more than one computer? I'm aware that you cannot use the Touch as a "hard drive", which is ridiculous, but I'll live. As far as connecting it to another computer, anyone know if it stays from mac to mac if it will work? I tried today (and it could be because there was no battery life) but it only was able to charge, no icon and didn't show up in itunes.
Thanks.

Ah, you need to have the latest version of iTunes...that's definitely something they should tell you!

What is the point of having 17 apps if no one is skilled in that many disciplines anyway?

I have been told how having access to 17 apps is a really great deal. The problem is no one is skilled in that many different disciplines. Even if someone took the time to learn all that software they would still not be competent in all those fields. I don’t know any creative types that are really good at graphic design AND video AND illustration AND music AND the web coding etc. What good is access to all those tools if you don’t have all the skill to do all those different line of work?
I keep hearing people say “Isn’t it great to know that you could use all that software if you wanted to?” No! It isn’t! Having access to tools without the necessary skills to competently use them is pointless! I have worked in graphic design for about a decade and have been improving over all that time so the idea that I could just start a new field adequetly is redic! You need to have an entire team of people who work in many fields to do all those things really well. So my question is what is the point of having the software running off one machine with a license for only one user?

@W_J_T (and MikeChambers)
“yeah you gotta be good at something rather than no good at anything, that is true. ;-)
I guess that is why I don’t understand this big push by Adobe to make their users become mediocre in many areas. Can you please elaborate on this point Mike Chambers? Why should I be bad at a lot of things rather then good at a few things? I don’t get it.
“As far as apps vs fields, the first thing many people wanna know is if you know the required software for the given task(s).”
On one hand I understand the need to have software skills on the other hand software skills without artistic talent does little good.
“Why that is I don't know, its rather odd and does not allow people the same ability to only focus on their more specialized sectors like in the past with the Creative "Suites".”
I understand the problem Adobe had with suites; all the products had to be released on the same time schedule which meant some were released way before they should have been. CC gets around that problem but Adobe hasn’t done a good job at telling why anyone needs all the apps.
“Did you just wish to have some dialog, or do you have a specific question or suggestion about things? I am kind of confused at this point sorry. ;-)”
It just seemed odd to me when I kept hearing these Adobe evangelists getting excited about the ability to use so many apps. I came here since I was hoping Adobe could explain why having apps in so many fields that you are not talented in is a good deal. So far I am still waiting for Adobe to answer that question.
“your passion seems to be solely the design aspect of things.”
Yes, it is but perhaps most importantly is the issue of time dedicated to learning a new craft. I have a good amount of design work so looking into a career change at this point doesn’t make sense for me. If I changed my career I would have to turn down design work that I currently have coming in and that would be a little silly.

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and I am traveling in Greece. When I want to make use of the free apps, I get a message that the app is not available in the SA store. What is the point of having an iPad if you cannot use it worldwide?

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and now I am in Greece. I cannot download free apps as I get a message that the apps are not available in the SA store and only in US stores. When I change to the US store the same thing happens. What is the point of having an iPad if I cannot use it worldwide??? I feel that I wasted my money purchasing it as I specifically purchased it to use when I travel. How can I get access to all the available apps and why are they restricted.

You can use your iPad worldwide. However, each AppleID is tied to
a specific country's store. To use the AppStore in any country, you
must be in that country and have a credit/debit card issued by a financial
institution in that country with a verified billing address in that country.
It is the developer's choice which AppStores he makes his app available
from, and some countries prohibit certain apps.
To make a purchase from the US store (including downloading a free app
available in the US store), you must be in the US and have card issued
in the US with verified billing address in the US.
You can use your purchases from the SA store worldwide, but you
cannot make purchases in other than the SA store unless you meet
the aforesaid conditions.

What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines?

What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines? It's not possible to add any materials or posts to this. I want to avoid having simply a long list of topics that are difficult to manage. When I create a topic in the outline, I can indent it, but then I can't add any posts to it as it doesn't even show up as a heading in course manager.
I've been trying to have some kind of logical organisation of materials, but the only thing you seem to be able to do is have a long list of topics.
Which makes me wonder why the possibility of indenting levels is there at all - it seems to be a completely worthless item.

I guess the point of the indented lists is to provide the user with some description of the topic’s contents. It's a standard convention in the table of contents of books. It might pay to break your course down into a number of courses if the list of topics is getting too unwieldy.

What is the point in having one of these

what is the point in haveing a Zen if you can't put videos on it's? I cannot find a website where i can get videos.... I do not understand the lingo on these forums (seeing as i'm new to all of this)
there is no number to call where you can talk to real li've person and they do not respond to your emails the way you would like... I'm so frustrated
I bought this for music videos and pictures and i can't put video on it!!? it is not ituneplus compatible like it says?
please help me find a website where i can get videos for this thing!!? or a number for customer service to i can ask them!!! ? I'm desperate

It's a fairly safe bet the post you're looking for with a converter suggestion was in regards to BADAK. If not you'll probably find the one you seek in some thread that includes a reference to BADAK. Try a forum search with that keyword. Things sometimes move around but don't often vanish completely unless the underlying forum software changes.

Logical table having more than one Logical table sources

Hi ,
Is it possible a logical table has 2 logical table sources and there is no join between the underlying table of logical table sources?
What will happen if we create the request which contains one attribute from each source?
Will BI server return records with Cartesian join?
Is it mandatory if logical table is having more than one logical table sources(exp. Logical table sources are X,Y and underlying table is A,B respectively),
The underlying tables (A&B) must be joined ?
Can someone explain the logic behind the logical table sources? How does it work?
Any reference of document will be appreciable.
Thanks,Ashish

Hi Stijn,
Thanks for response.
You are saying that Oracle BI server will run a query against both tables and combine the results. But if there is no possibilty of any type of join, how BI server will combine the results from both tables.
I have a scenario like below -
Suppose i have 2 tables A and B at physical layer. Both table contains the information of any common subject area.
But there is no attribute is common between A and B so not any kind of join possible between two.
Now if i create a logical table with 2 logical table source A and B and create any request having one column from A and one from B ,
What will happen? How BI server will combine the result? Will BI server not result records after Cartesian join.
How can i model this scenario?
