How to move only one or two applications from iMac to macbook air`

i cannot figure this out, the migration assistant will only let me pull everything over and i can't pick and choose. i also tried using disk utility and it will not let me select WORD to make into an .iso file. please help!

It seems that my presentation ‘Bucharest, Romania’ makes you consider me a total greenhorn, to not say idiot. I know, I had an Air. And I also had an external optical drive, bus-powered, LG. If there is no optical drive around, there are a lot of other methods to copy an optical drive unto your Air including creating an image (dmg, iso, toast) of that CD once and for ever. You must give a try and, on that occasion, make a list of all apps you need at hand, and put them together just in case. That is what I ahve been doing for years.
Greetings and good luck.
P.S. We must be prepared for post-optical drive era, therefore external disks. I have not bought any optical disk for months, but I have purchased one external drive every 6th month or so. You must do something for your older collection of CDs and DVDs—

Can Airdrop move Contacts from iMac to MacBook Air?

Can Airdrop move Contacts from iMac to MacBook Air?

Yes and no. AirDrop is used to send a file from one computer to another. A Contact isn't a file so AirDrop isn't the best way to move contacts from one computer to another. If you own both an iMac and MBA and want to keep the two computers synced, the easiest way is to create an iCloud account on both computers. Any calendar event, to do, contact, or note you create on one will sync to the other. If you just bought a MBA and want to move data to it from your iMac you should use Apple's migration assistant. Personally I think the easiest way to migrate is to perform a backup of the old computer to a USB external drive using TimeMachine and then connect the TimeMachine to the new computer and use Migration Assistant.
But can you exchange contacts using AirDrop? Yes. Select the contact(s) you want to transfer, export them as vcards to a temporary folder. Then AirDrop the folder to your MBA. Now run Contacts and then drag the vcards onto the Contacts program icon in the Dock.

How to use Lightroom from iMac and Macbook Air so that I can edit any/all photos in my catalog?

I have lightroom catalog setup on my desktop (iMac). But, I would like to edit photos from my new MacBook Air when I have the free time. How do I set this up so that any edits done on my laptop sync with my desktop catalog?

Craig:
In the future you might look into an external FW hard drive from which you can operate the library. Then, if you need to move it to another machine just unplug the drive and and plug it in to the other Mac. For the MacBook Air you'd probably want a small (physical size) buss powered drive that would be an easy travel mate.
For future projects, particularly books, consider creating a separate library for it. You can assemble the photos you want in it in an album in your primary library and use iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album to the project library. They are often small enough that then can be copied to a flash drive for transfer to other Macs.

How to move ONLY one iTunes item from iPad to computer

How do I move JUST one item from my iPad to the computer using the new iTunes? I do NOT want to sync everything on the iPad to the computer. I do NOT want the computer to download anything from the store.
My home internet connection isn't much faster than dial-up. I also have access to a high-speed internet connection somewhere else, so have been buying or renting movies and TV shows with the iPad. if I've purchased them, I transfer them to a separate iTunes library I have on an external hard drive connected to my computer and remove them from the iPad, since memory on it is an issue.
I just tried to do that for the first time using the newest version of iTunes. First iTunes went to the store to download a movie, which would take 8 hours and that I didn't want. I quit the program and selected sync from iPad. Then, it proceeded to automatically transfer a bunch of books and podcasts that I don't want to transfer (and it will take a bunch of extra time). How can I transfer ONLY the one episode of a TV show that's on the iPad? I don't want to transfer anything else, not the books and so on. I can't find any way to do that in the latest version of iTunes.
Is there any way to restore the old iTunes, so that I can individually choose what I want to copy to the computer from the iPad?

mtngal2,
I've had this same problem and I haven't received a response how to get around it.
Have you received any answers?

How to see only one of two displays in Snow Leopard Screen Sharing?

I am trying to set up screen sharing and find that since I have two monitors working on the machine that I want to connect to, two monitors show up on the client that I am connecting with. This causes a problem in that the scaled screen image that appears on my macbook pro is too hard to see and work on.
Is there a way to specify only one monitor image to appear in screen sharing?

On my Mac OS X Screen Sharing display, it has a display selection pop-up in the upper left side of the Screen Sharing display
Both Displays: 3760 x 1920
Display 1: 2560 x 1440
Display 2: 1200 x 1920

I have transferred my documents from iMac to macbook air, but when I try to read then I get the message "This document is too old. Download it to version 09. How do I do that?

I have transferred my pages documents from my macbook pro to my macbook air, but I cannot read them as I get the message "This document is too old. Download to version 09". How do I do that? I spent over an hour on the phone to a technician at Apple but he was no help.

I have the same issue having replaced my 07 iMac for a new iMac, I was using iWork 08 (Pages) and all my Pages documents cannot be read by the latest iWork (Pages). I get the same message and, although I have worked out that any that had been exported to Word format can be read and then re-saved, I cannot now open the purely Pages documents to export them to Word first. I am amazed that the new Pages cannot read Pages 08 document but can continue to read Word ones! So, how can I get my hands on Pages 09, so that I can re-save them in the current Pages format?

How to transfer files from imac to macbook air

I recently received my macbook air and I was trying to transfer iWork to my new macbook.
Typically, I have no problems in the transfer process when I have done this before from my iMac to my Powerbook. And now, with the Macbook Air, my iMac tells me that the device isn't connected to the Macbook Air....but it IS showing that it is discovered.
Sounds very confusing, I know.
I just need to know how to transfer Pages to my Macbook Air from my iMac.
If anyone can help, PLEASE DO!
Thanks!

How to download files from iMac to MacBook Air

I have an iMac and time capsule. I bought a MacBook Air for travel. I need to be able to copy apps and files from the iMac to the MacBook Air. I figured I could use time capsule for that but have no clue how to do it. Should be easy, so thought I'd ask bef

thank you for the quick reply. I have turned on file sharing on my iMac and went to server connect on the Air. I am connected to time capsule. Now what? It shows a data folder and when I open that, I see all the computers in the house. If I double click on the iMac, nothing happens. I'd like to be able to selectively choose the data and the apps to copy onto the Air.

How to send only one (of several) attachment from a receiver email adapter?

Hi all,
I have been working with the SAP XI email adapter for some time and now I encountered the following challenge:
I am receiving a message via email from a partner, call some modules which lead to the generation of 5 attachments in total for the incoming message.
I then map the MainDocument to a CONTRL message and return it to the sender using the dynamic parameters of both the sender and the receiver email cc.
I am filling these parameters inside the message mapping; so far I am not using the mailpackage xsd (the only things out of the ordinary are checked boxes for "use adapter specific parameters", "variable transport" and "keep attachments").
My problem is that the email receiver cc now generates an email with 5 attachments when I need it to add only the CONTRL (aka MainDocument) as attachment to this email.
Do you know if there is a way to tell the receiver cc to only use one attachment (or to remove attachments from the original message, f.ex. inside the message mapping)?
Thanks and cheers!
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
>>>>Do you know if there is a way to tell the receiver cc to only use one attachment (or to remove attachments from the original message, f.ex. inside the message mapping)?
1. It cannot be done in a mapping
2. have a look at mz blog
how simple it is to write an adapter that will do what you need

Install only one or two packages from [testing]

I'm a bit new to arch, and for a few packages I require newer versions, which are currently availible in [testing].
Can I enable [testing] only for those packages? Or how should I go about?

[testing] should be all or nothing, enabling it for a package or two and then disabling it is discouraged.
You can always build the packages yourself from ABS.

What do you mean by "and this didn't help very much"? Did you encounter any issues during the migration of the apps tier node(s)?

How to switch licensed for "ADOBE DESIGN STANDARD" from iMac to Macbook Pro?

I am currently licensed for "ADOBE DESIGN STANDARD" on an iMac. I have a new MacBook Pro and want to use that instead of the iMac. Do i need to get a new license key? or ??
I know i can download an "eval" copy on the laptop, but how do i switch license keys? i'm not even sure i still have the (valid) license key for the iMac...can i request another??

As long as you are staying within the same general platform (PC vs Mac) you do not need to change licensing. You are allowed to have two activated installations with your license, so you should be able to install on the new machine without having to worry about the older one at all (unless you ever want to free up the second activation for yet another machine). As you mentioned, you can download the trial version and use the serial number from your purchase to activate it to full use.
If you registered your software with Adobe, the serial number should be available via your Adobe account online. If you didn't register it then you will at least understand why it pays to do so.
IF you end up needing to resolve any issues with activating the product on the new machine you will need to contact Adobe Support directly. Here are some links to help make contact:
