AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.

AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.  I see both machines on both airdrop windows. Firewalls on both machines are set exactly the same way, and with Network Browser set to allow.  Can send a file from Mac mini to MacBook, but not the other way.  Never get a window asking to accept on the Mac mini.
Found no useful documentation on AirDrop anywhere in the whole support site.

Maybe this will work. From an Apple support article.
You can also use the Share button to send files to your neighbors via AirDrop. In a Finder window, select the item you want to share, and then click the Share button in the toolbar. For more information about the Share button, see this help topic:

  • Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    There is no license required for iWeb.  Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

    Can i expand the SSD on my late 2012 Retina Macbook Pro from the current 128GB to 256GB or more?

    You can look here to see if they have anything available for your model, but be advised even opening a Retina voids the warranty.

  • Since me and my mother moved from iChat to iMessage bêta, screen sharing works only one way. I can share my screen with her but not the reverse. When actually what I would like to do is share her screen. Video works fine both ways.

    Screensharing works only one way since we moved from iChat to iMessage bêta. Before that we have never had any problem with screen sharing. We haven't changed anything else, just installed iMessage. What I need to do is share her screen, and the only thing I can do is share my screen...
    Thanks for your help.

    HI,
    On the whole I am finding it very stable.  (it presents the same quirks in the same manner each time)
    It has some things that are more Feature requests than "Bugs" per se about the way it works that I would like to change.
    It can also be difficult to tell exactly what is going on whenyou are hearing about it third hand.
    Sounds like you have a plan.

I have 0 contacts & 0 calendar events on my gmail account. I opened the Gmail account specifically to for the Google Sync and wil only be using this account as a back-up for my IPhone contacts. Please Help!!

    You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
    Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

  • AirDrop between Mac earlier than 2012 and iOS.. I can't believe it..

    Yes, I know:
    "In order to transfer files between a Mac and an iPhone, IPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model."
    Is a MacBook Pro late 2011 really so obsolete?
    No solutions?
    I think it's embarrassing..

    It’s not obsolete, but they couldn’t install a piece of hardware in a 2011 Mac that was first available in that same year. Airdrop between iOS and OS X requires Bluetooth 4.0. With about a year lead time on production, the module wasn’t available for your Mac.
    Google around and you might find a way to hack your Mac to make it work, if it matters that much.

  • Mac Mini vs. iMac vs Macbook Pro

    We are trying to replace our MacBook Pro that was recently stolen, and I am having trouble deciding what the best option would be for us between the following:
    purchase a new Macbook Pro to replace the one that was stolen
    purchase a Mac Mini to use with an external monitor AND a macbook air for portable use
    purchase an iMac and a macbook air for portable use
    I am a writer, and I use our computer for writing, editing, photo editing, etc (using photoshop)
    We also use our computer frequently for watching movies and video. 
    I like the idea of getting the Mac Mini and the Macbook Air but am worried about the processing speed in the Air being able to keep up with lots of video watching... any thoughts?

    Every one of these models will be fine for watching video, the MB Air included.
    If you consistently use Photoshop, then I'd lean toward an iMac, MBP or Mac Mini, in every case with at least 8GB RAM, preferably 16GB.

    Locutus,

  • My Mac App Store on my MacBook Pro does not work properly.

    My Mac App Store on my MacBook Pro 15 inch does not work properly. When i go on to the app store, my wi-fi resets and then my app store quits. Why is this? How can i fix this problem? Please Help

    Back up all your files, on boot up when you first press the power button, press CMd and r and keep pressing until you get something apart from a apple logo. Then click reinstall Mac OS X or something like that. You may be prompted to insert your disk.
    Good luck

  • I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro- can not work on FCP simultaneously when my network ports are on (open). How do I go about changing this?

    Hi!
    I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro and can not work simultaneously on FCP on all workstations when the network port is open. Can anyone help me on this?

    Did you purchase Final Cut Pro from the Mac app store? Or install it from disk? If from disk, you may have installed it on all machines using the same serial number, and using all of them simultaneously violates the license agreement. If you purchase from the App store the licensing is different and that may not apply.

  • Imac and Macbook pro can no longer see one another

    I'm not sure why, but all since I upgraded to Yosemite, I can no longer see my iMac on my Macbook Pro and vice versa. I could always see the computer that I needed to connect to in finder, or I could connect with my iCloud password. As of today, I can no longer access my iMac from my Macbook Pro and that's a problem. If someone could provide directions (dumbed down version) explaining how to connect the computers from scratch, I would greatly appreciate it. I am fine with setting it up again but I can't recall how I did it.  Thanks so  much. I did upgrade both my iMac and MacBook pro to Yosemite over the weekend.

  • File Transfer Between Mac Mini and Beige G3 OS 9?

    I'd like to transfer files between a PPC Mac Mini with 10.4.x (Bluetooth and Airport) and a Beige G3 still running OS 9 which has USB and FW ports added.
    I ccould use a USB stick and be happy, but on the Mini that makes my USB modem hang up. I'd rather not burn data CDs each time. My G3 will not run 10.x due to a video card or RAM from OWC.
    So can any of the wireless USB sticks be made to work with OS 9? More obviously, is there a solution using any sort of wire or cable - I may be able to put them near one another at some point?
    Thank you.

    You should be able to use Firewire to transfer between them I believe.

  • Mac mini mid 2011 and logic pro 9 in 64-bit?

    Hi,
    I have a mac mini mid 2011 with a 2.7HGz intel core i7 processor and 8 GB of RAM. I have been using Logic Pro 9 in 32-bit mode and tried switching to 64-bit mode. I unchecked the "open in 32-bit mode" in the "get inf" section, but logic still opens in 32-bit mode.
    My question is: Can my computer run Logic Pro 9 in 64-bit mode???
    Thankyou!

    Hi there jdtay2,
    It looks like your model of Mac Mini does have a 64-bit processor according to the article "How to tell if your Intel-based Mac has a 32-bit or 64-bit processor"

    32- or 64-bit
    Intel Core Solo

    As far as opening Logic Pro in 64-bit mode, you will first want to make sure that you have the most updated version, as 64-bit support was added in the v9.1 update. The article below has more information about Logic Pro and 64-bit mode.
