Time Capsule and 2 iMACs how to?

[maffu]

We have two iMACs that we need to connect to a TC via wifi but we can't set them both up to work, we can set one up but the other over rights the other very frustrating!

HELP!!!???

Time Machine should be saving each iMac in separate folders in Time Capsule. The folders would be named after the machine (like Maffu's iMac). Do the iMac's have the same name?

This would be my guess as well. Make sure the two machines are named something different in your System Preferences... and try again.

Thanks, both machines have different names. We can get one Imac to connect
to the TC but not both at the same time?

I would suggest starting over from scratch, possibly renaming the computers anyway, and possibly reformatting the HD. It should work perfectly... Since TM simply makes a new folder for each computer name. There is some bug preventing you from doing it properly.

Just get a fresh start.
