How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side.  E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

    Yes, with the credentials of the account that the media/content was purchased with.

  • HT1296 How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro

    How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro
    I am facing problem while I connect to my iPad mini with MacBook Pro , it only sync photo from its taken by and from it camera roll only. It doesn't sync all the images... Like my all albums. All photos in library....

    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    You should also be able to copy albums that you've created directly on the iPad via apps such as Simple Transfer (though I haven't tried it)

    The hinge between my screen and my computer (macbook pro retina) has cracked and doesn't hold the screen anymore. Can I fix it without changing my screen. And if it's still on guarantee does Apple have to repair it?

    Apple can fix any and all of their computers.  Whether it would be charged to you would be the question.   Do you have AppleCare?

    There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
    Control-Eject          This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
    Command-Option-Eject          This puts the machine to sleep.
    Command-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and restarts the machine.

  • How can I get the updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Macbook Pro where I have already installed CS5 from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I was able to successfully download the current version of Adobe DNG converter.

    How can I get updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Mac book pro where CS5 is already installed from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I get the same error messages re downloading error. I successfully downloaded the current version of Adobe DNG Converter & it installed perfectly. Help please!

    The Adobe auto updater is highly unreliable.
    You need to look for and download the update yourself and then manually apply it as per the detailed instructions on the download page:

  • How can i prevent my Cinema Display 23in From disconnecting my external hard drive?

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook pro 13'' connected to a 23'' Cinema Display and i have an external harddrive connected to the computer through the display to keep cord and clutter clear and also that way i dont have to hook up more than one USB cable when connecting. Every time the computer goes to sleep the external hard drive gets disconnected improperly without ejecting. This is annoying because if i have a document open that is drawing from the harddrive when it does to sleep i risk loosing the file. Is there any setting i can change or way that i can get around this? maybe i shouldnt let it sleep or the display cant turn off? Any input is greatly appreciated. THANKS!

  • How can I set up my mail accounts to sync sent and read messages automatically?

    I'm not sure how to set it up so  my flagged emails, sent messages, and read messages will show the same in my MacBook Pro and my MacBook Air.  This seems like it would be a simple problem to fix, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This type of service is offered by IMAP email accounts such as the me address that is associated with your iCloud account.
    Are you saying it isn't working or are you trying to add a third party address (ie gmail, yahoo etc etc) to your mail account and expecting it to work like an IMAP account.

  • How can I set service preferences with Safari 5.0.5 and os 10.6.8?  Was working fine until combined update install.

    My service preferences won't set after installing combined update earlier this week and the security 2012-4 update that caused so much problem with mail. Is there a list of changes that was  made in safari with this latest update, because the bookmarking isn't working the same and the readling list page is  gone?

    because the bookmarking isn't working and the same and the reading list page is gone?
    Your profile indicates you have v10.7.2 installed yet your topic refers to v10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
    Try this...
    Open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your bookmarks and reading list.
    Safari 5.0.5 is an outdated version. You need to update Safari.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update...
    Restart your Mac after the updates are installed.

  • How can i have the same files on my iMac as i do my Macbook Pro?

    Im no computer whiz but i know more than the average joe. But when it comes to things like this im not an expert. I am a Photograher, Graphic Designer, and Videographer. I use my Macbook Pro on the go and my iMac in home. I would like to be able to have a matching folder structure for all my files and have both computers running the same aperture libraries and final cut libraries. Essentially a mirrored machine. Or just a directory that i can acsess from both of them. I assume this would be the work of a server? I just dont know enough about how fast would it be if i had my aperture library referenced off of a server attached to my home network and i was connected via wireless N "i could do ethernet but that would require me to venture to the basement" Also i assume that i would be able to connect all of these external drives i have to it? Say i had drive A1 and B1 A1 would be the master and B1 would be the back up and so on for A2 and B3? kinda like a raid set up so i can have a drive for photographery thats backed up one for video thats backed up and so on thanks.
    Also could i use such server to remotely render files for my applications? Such as Final Cut, After Effects, or Cinema 4D?
    Also this is all based around a Mac Mini Server as i dont have the money to be spending thousands of dollars. "I already did with my computers haha."
    Thanks i appreciate it in advance!
    If any of this was confusing i can re write it all thanks!

    I'm trying to do something similar with my iMac set up as an Open Directory server with network accounts, and then having my MacBook bind to it for login and home folder syncing. I still don't have it working the way I would like, maybe someone here could help me. I'm no expert, I found an up-to-date book at my university library, but it doesn't mention mobile accounts.
    What I did:
    1. Installed Server on my iMac and configured it for network accounts. I made a few test accounts.
    2. Configured the test accounts for mobile home folder and mobile syncing. I also configured the path to the home folder to be the server (iMac).
    3. Under Users and Groups preferences on my MacBook, made my iMac the network account server.
    What I got:
    1. I could login to any of my test network accounts from either computer.
    2. I could could create files on my MacBook and have them automatically sync with my iMac, and vice versa.
    What I didn't get:
    1. When I removed my iMac from the network, I could not log in to ANY account on my MacBook, not even local user accounts.
    2. If I made a change, such as in iPhoto on my MacBook, then made some other changes in iPhoto on my iMac, the sync can sometimes produce the wrong results, i.e. imports added photos, but not changed foto albums. (This would not be a problem on a dedicated server, but this could be a show stopper for the parent unless there is a good work around.)
    For me the show stopper is not being able to login without the iMac on the network. I remember NetInfo from the NeXTSTEP days and I thought the reason we went with OpenDirectory was so we could login without the server being connected. If anyone knows how to get OpenDirectory to work without a network, please let me know, and no - I do not want to install Server on my MacBook and make a clone directory.
