Why can't I sync more than one computer?  This is a serious design flaw.

I have a macbook and so does my wife. So, who gets to sync and who ends up in the streaming ghetto? This is a pretty crappy design choice. We should both be able to sync to a combined library on the appletv so that we don't have to fight over who gets a less convenient experience on the appletv.
You can call it the "marriage saver".

You just need to get two Apple TV's and perhaps an HDMI switch so you can easily go back and forth between the two without having to buy another TV. Instead of getting a switch one person could use HDMI and the other could use component output but that might cause some problems as well. If you're only going to use Synching then AppleTV looks just like an iPod and you both need one of your own. It really isn't as ridiculous as it sounds since it's $50 cheaper than the 80GB video iPod.
Maybe you should both agree to stream. It works really well. Perhaps set up a common iTunes to synch from. Good luck .. I've got similar issues with both kids and wife! So I've an AppleTv in the Den for the kids (synched with Kids stuff) and in the Family room we have another AppleTV synched with more grown up stuff. To go back and forth we just stream to the other library.

  • Why can't I connect more than one computer to my wifi?

    It will allow me to connect one at a time, but I have to take one off in order to connect the other.

    When the AirPort Express is in Bridge Mode, it simply passes through the IP address information from the Westell router to connected devices.
    The Westell is in charge of assigning IP addresses to every device on the network, but does not appear to be doing this correctly....or it needs some changes to its settings.
    If you can find the model number of the Westell device, we'lll try to find a manual online.
    Otherwise, you might want to check with AT&T to ask about this. They will probably try to blame it on the AirPort....but in Bridge Mode....it is not doing anything other than passing through the info that it gets from the Westell.
    I don't like to recommend setting up a network in the wrong way, but you could try changing a setting on the Express....that will result in what is known as a Double NAT error. This can cause conflicts as well, and will slow down the network a bit as well.
    Post back if you want to try this.

  • Why can´t i have more than one initiator task on my bpm process

    Hi All.
    I am working with BPM 11g and would like to know:
    Why can´t i have more than one initiator task on my bpm process
    In this case, i will have two separeted process where each has its initiator task?
    Regards,

    Hi Diovani
    Two different processes can have different task initiators...task initiator means creation of a process instance which can happen only once

    Hmmmm.
    If you reset the AirPort Extreme by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds and then releasing, the AirPort should be back in default settings which would allow mutliple computers to connect to the LAN ports on the AirPort.
    Power off the cable modem for now and leave it off at least 15 minutes.
    With the AirPort Extreme still powered on, hold in the rest button on the back for 9-10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking abmer light.
    Then, power off the AirPort Extreme.
    Check to make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
    After the modem has been powered off for at least 15 minutes, power it up and let it run for 5 minutes by itself.
    Now, power up the AirPort Exteme and let it run for 2-3 minutes
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Express
    Click on the AirPort Exteme, then click Continue to follow the guided setup tp configure the AirPort Extreme.  You can use the same wireless network name, password, etc that you used before, or set up a new name and password, etc.

  • Why can't I paste more than one page at a time?

    I have a problem with Pages when I try to paste more than one page worth of content at one time.
    In my business I have a form online for clients to fill out. When the clients have finished the form, I copy the form (saved either as a safari document or as a pdf) and then try to paste what I have into Pages. It should flow to fill out four pages, but for some odd reason it only fill the first page of a Pages document, then it gives me a second blank (empty) page. So the document is two pages long, but only the first page has content.
    I know the pasted information is hidden in the document, because if I were to cut (erase) a few lines of content, the pasted information would appear from the bottom of the page to fill the space I just made.
    Why is Pages not making a four page document containing all my pasted information? Why isn't it flowing to fill out as many pages as it takes to show all the information?

  • Why can't I print more than one page?

    I'm pring a lafge text:
    <af:inputText id="it1" value="#{main_bean.resp}" readOnly="true"
    simple="true" rows="#{main_bean.kvitRows}" styleClass="AFStretchWidth"
    visible="true"/>
    That is I use one af:inputText with many rows.
    To send it for pring I use JavaScript.
    <af:resource type="javascript" >
    function printPage(evt){
    window.print();
    evt.cancel();
    window.close();
    </af:resource>
    When printing it clips the text. If the text is more than one page it print only one page. I need to continue printing on the next pages (not to clip). When printing othe web-pages it distributes it onto several paper pages.

  • Why can't I list more than one e-mail addressee suddenly?

    I think since downloading Mavericks my mail program does not allow me to put more than one contact in the To box. Very frustrating. I
    don't see anything in Mail preferences that will address this problem.

    But the first addressee is no longer inside a blue oval. So, unfortunately, your suggestio does not answer my question.
    Another change to mail is that when I try to send an attachment based on text in Pages, only part of the text appears in my outgoing e-mail. Has Maverick messed things up?

  • Why can't I type more than one space in a split-view in DW

    Say, I am an a split view in a Dreamweaver CS5 and I'm typing in the right view (whatever it's called), but for some reason I can't type more than a single space there. Can I disable that?

    Thank you, Curtis. One thing that needs to be added to your post is that one has to restart DW for this setting to take effect. (Well, that may be a bug.) But it still doesn't fix the issue (read below.)
    As for the other two comments, I hate when people try to pigeonhole something without even trying to understand someone's situation. Did I say that I would be using it for a layout?
    Here's why I need it. Say, I'm working on typing a paragraph of text. My preference is to have DW in a split-view, with the HTML being displayed on the left and the "result" view on the right. That view on the right allows me to type in text directly into the page w/o worrying about HTML semantics -- very handy feature, except one little detail. Say, I have the following snippet of text, "This is some sample text" and I want to edit out the word "some" with the phrase "very important". So I highlight the word "some" and begin typing. Everything goes well when I finish typing "very", but as soon as I put a space to begin typing the word "important", something in DW makes the resulting phrase to look like this: "This is very importantsample text" Notice that the space after "important" was removed. You see, I'm not used to adding spaces after each of my edits (and that is how 99% of word processors work in the world) so my documents started to miss spaces and it took me awhile to figure out why. I was truly hoping that Curtis' suggestion would fix the issue, but even though I can add more than a single space, DW still removes spaces for me automatically, like I just explained above.

  • Why can't I have more than one library?

    I've got multiple iTunes libraries- one on a computer at home, one on a computer at school. But whenever I try to access my new Shuffle iPod, on library always wants me to delete the other and replace it. What's up with that? Can I bypass it?
    If I can't, where's the uproar? This is NOT user-friendly, Apple!

    This how Apple has chosen to design the iPhone, likely to make piracy more difficult. It has never been any different.
    Put everything on one computer, in one library, and sync from there.

  • Why can't I have more than one iTunes linked t my iPod

    I have Macs for years, all sorts, I currently actively use, iMac g417,iMac g5 20, iMac intel 24. G4 Mac Mini,Intel Mac Mini, G5 tower, G4 Tower, powerbook g4 and mac book. Yes I know but I work from home with Mac all day...
    I have thousands of songs, all legal, I'm old and have huge CD collection.. I have them spread around the Macs.
    I want to add different playlist from different iTunes to my iPod, just want to drag and drop. Don't care about iTunes store, my CD, my Macs, My iTunes, My Ipod, Not pirating any thing here, WHY CAN I NOT SIMLY DO THIS. I'm forced to go with another player that does not have these retrictions

    Hi Dean, I have no problems using my iPod simultaneously with my notebook and desktop (iBook G4 & iMac G5). All you need to do is un-check the "sync" iPod with iTunes box, or check manually manage music... whatever it is. As long as you are manually managing everything, it should not give you any problems. You can drag and drop to your heart's content! A few notes: MP3 CD's... are amazing, because you don't actually have to import them to your computer, you can just drag and drop the tunes onto your iPod. It might be to your advantage to back up your music libraries on MP3 CD's, the initial process is slightly tedious, but well worth it because you can always create CD's in the future if necessary and free up GB of your hard drive (I'm sure you already thought of this though, you sound pretty savvy.) The ONLY problem I do encounter is sometimes the iTunes on my G5 will just close on me. The trick is to only MANAGE the music from the initial iTunes regardless of where you ADD music from... if that makes sense. Alright, good luck and if you have any questions or anything needs clarifying, just drop me a line (or reply or whatever) Good Luck!
    P.S. I am using the newest iPod Video 80GB, I don't know if that will make a difference or not, but both my sisters have different Nano's and they work the same way that mine does.

  • How can I connect to more than one computer from external ip

    Hi
    I have been using remote desktop for some time and have a port forward set so I can connect to our mail server from anywhere else externally from my macbook pro, but how can I connect to other macs in the office when there only seems to be the two ports available for use 5900 and 3283. I can only port forward to one computer? How can I connect to multiple computers when not within the same network? are there other ports available?
    Cheers
    Tony

    If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address.  ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
    ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe,  need to install third-party VNC software on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while other VNC systems can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then  forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=RemoteDesktop/3.0/en/ARDC715.html  to connect.
    The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I send more than one picture at a time to anyone? THey do not go through!!!

    I am wondering why since the new update the photos I take and try to send out cannot be sent unless they are sent one by one. I like to take several pics and put in a message and send together bt they do not send. They come back message send failure. WHY?

  • Why can't bluetooth support more than one item at a time?

    I have a HDX JAM bluetooth speaker which allows me to play music from my iPhone to a nice loud powered portable speaker. The speaker needs to be paired naturally. I wanted to add another HDX JAM so I could hear the music in a couple of rooms as I did household chores, but alas, when I turn one on the other goes silent, in other words, the bluetooth from the iPhone is only allowing me to hear one or the other but not both. Why is this? They both are paired with different numbers, I can have a wireless keyboard and another wireless device paired with my computer, at least I think that works as I also have a wireless bluetooth printer that runs off the computer and the keyboard also and they do not need to be run independently. What am I missing here?
    TIA,
    Ken
