I need tips for working with a many Macs
Hello,
I was wondering if any of you had any tips for working with a bunch of Macs. This setup would have 1 old Mac Pro, 1 PowerMac G5, 1 Mac Pro Xeon, 1 2012 iMac, 1 iMac G5, and 1 MacBook Pro. Each one of these would be in a different area but within the same building and all connected to the same network. Each one would need to be able to communicate with the others to get files off of the other computers. How do I go along doing that? The next question that I have is how I can take use of the 1TB Time Capsule that we would have setup. Can I use Time Machine to backup 3 out of the 6 computers? The final question is that the PowerMac G5 has a bad graphics card. The only thing that we would use it for is the hard drive. Can I reformat the drive and put it into the Mac Pro Xeon and use that as a second hard drive in it?
Thanks!
In summary:
- How can I get 6 Macs to communicate with one another so I can access files off of each one?
- Can I use Time Machine to backup 3 out of 6 of the computers?
- Can I reformat a hard drive in one Mac and put it into the Mac Pro Xeon and use it as a second hard drive in it?
- Any other tips for managing and working with a big group of Macs?
