One Keychain library on both iMac and MacBook Pro via Dropbox or...?

Hi guys
I would like to have the same Keychain library on both my Macbook Pro and iMac?
Can I get this done via Dropbox or how can I fix this?
Thanks!
Bob

Why do you want to do this (I'm curious)?
I found this article which explains how to copy keychains from one Mac to another. Keep in mind that this does not sync the keychains; it's only a snapshot of your existing keychain at the time you copy it. And ... you are on your own doing this, especially if your Macs have different releases of OS X.

Networking IMac and MacBook Pro

I'm having problems connecting my MacBook Pro with my iMac. The iMac can see and communicate with the MBP but not the other way around. If I try to connect to the iMac I get a message saying that "The server “iMac” is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally." If I try and view the iMac screen remotely I get a recursive view of the MBP screen.
This happened under Leopard, the problem disappeared under Snow Leopard but has now resurfaced. I have remote management and file sharing set up on both machines.
I'd really appreciate a solution.
Thanks
Ally.

I have the same issue, posted here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10356586#10356586
I tried your solution, but it still doesn't work. I was having intermittent problems as well... the shared folder was there sometimes, not other times. Then it seemed that only certain enclosed items were not being shared. Now I can't see it at all...
Any other suggestions?

IMAC and MacBook connected via ethernet. Can see "Bob's" public folder on "Betty" but not allowed to move or open files. Want to Bob-- Betty (my new computer) permanently. Adjusted "permissions" everywhere I think

Old computer HDD named Bob, new one named Betty. Trying to transfer crucial files via ethernet. Have connection, can see Bob's public folder on Betty. When try to move or open anything there, tells me I do not have permission to either view or read respectively. I changed permission on the item to read/write for Betty. Made Betty an admin on Bob etc. What can I do?
Thank you!

Do have file sharing and remote login checked
When on Betty's computer, Sign into Bob's computer with Bob's username & Bob's Password, instead of Betty's.
BINGO!!!! Problem solved. Many thanks!!!

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.

Hi guys, trying to transfer my itunes from my old netbook to my macbook pro via ethernet. where can i find the old pc network address?

I can't see any reason that you would need it... Just let it create it's own connection.

Home sharing iMac and MacBook Pro: not all songs are playable

Hello
I set up Home Sharing between my iMac and MacBook Pro so that I could stream the music that's on the iMac to the MacBook Pro. On the MBP there are no songs, all of them are in Apple Lossless format on my iMac. I first tried to use "‘share my library on my local network" but because I wanted the play count to go up as well I chose for "Home Sharing". Setting up was simple. After all preferences were adjusted, I opened iTunes on the MBP and it immediately found the shared iMac library. There's now only one problem: not all songs are playable. Some don't even start. How is this possible and what do I need to do to resolve this?
FYI: the iMac is connected via ethernet to my cable modem which sends a wireless Wi-Fi signal to the MBP. Signal quality is excellent.
Also, is it possible that playcount is only available with Home Sharing and not with "share my library on my local network"?
Thanks!

It very well could be the antivirus app, most are intrusive and debilitate rather than enhance performance and should be removed using the developers instructions. You haven't really told us anything useful such as any settting you may have changed. However if you began working backwards resetting any changes and uninstalling the apps added since the performance issue started then you probably will find your issue.

What's the best way to share my Aperture and FCPX projects between an iMac and MacBook Pro?

Greetings,
I own both an iMac and MacBook Pro and I'm interested in figuring out the best way to have access to my iTunes, Aperture and Final Cut Pro X files not only when I'm at home using the iMac, but when I'm out and about with the MBP.
I'm sure there are others among us who require a similar setup so I was hoping you guys could share with me how you solved this little problem, and also inform me of any potential negatives for your method so that I'm well prepared. Thanks.

Best is a subjective term, as it will ultimately come down to preference. The fastest however, would be to wait until they market has a few thunderbolt drives available for purchase...
But like the first poster stated, a firewire 800 drive, would be the more convenient choice for now. Or you could set the shared folder on your iMac to be avaible on your network and use it to allow your MBP to access it wirelessly.
Obviously whatever you change, just save it back to the same folder on the iMac. Keep in mind it will not be as fast as the first suggestion (unless it is a wired network), but may be usefull for smaller files.
However, you should have everthing backed up via an external drive, that is always useful...

IMac and Macbook Pro no longer connecting to the Wifi?

Hi there,
I've been in London this weekend, only to return home to find issues connecting to my wifi. Weirdly, it's only the iMac and Macbook Pro having trouble, everything else is connecting fine e.g iPad, Phone, Android Tablet etc.
I'm getting disconnected around every 20 seconds and cannot figure it out! It's so frustrating as I'm wondering if there's been an update released for OS X that it has downloaded recently? Especially seeing that when I run windows from bootcamp on my iMac, it doesn't disconnect. And I also don't believe it's an issue with the hub.
Has anyone got any suggestions? I've tried removing the network and re-adding, help for about an hour but still not much use.
Thanks, Matt

Can some one help me reinstall my MP640 software on my Imac and macbook pro? as the software does not recognise os 10.7.5

My Imac and macbook pro stopped accessing my MP640 via the home wifi set up, so I sent all the canon software to the trash on both computers, thinking I should reinstall the software I got with the printer, but the software does not recognise os 10.7.5. I am using a netgear modem. I also use time machine to back up to time capsule.

Connection failures between iMac and Macbook Pro

I'm experiencing frequent connection failures over my wi-fi network between my iMac and Macbook Pro on an otherwise strong, stable network. I can connect both of my computers to the Airport Time Capsule that I use as my wireless router without a problem, but for some reason I get connection failures between the computers say, 50% of the time. Sometimes it works fine, others it just hangs before giving me an error message. Any suggestions?
OS 10.9.3 on both machines
Apple Airport Extreme Time Capsule
iMac, 3.06GHz i3 (2010)
Macbook Pro Retina, 2.4 GHz i7 (1st Gen)

Hi jt in nyc,
Some checks:
Use Airport Utility on one of the machines
- Click on the Time Capsule ( enter password if prompted )
- Click on the Edit button
Under Airport Utility -> Wireless -> Wireless Options
Are the Time Capsule Wireless options set correctly?
- Country -> you know this, change if it is not
- 2.4GHz and 5GHz Channel set to Automatic
- Click on Cancel button to return to the Airport Utility graphic diagram.
- Click on the Time Capsule
- Click on your machines listed beside wireless clients
Are the machines reporting an excellent quality at different distances from the Time Machine?

Files disappearing iMac and MacBook Pro with iCloud

Just converted to Apple one month ago buying iMac and MacBook Pro.
iMac at office, MacBook at home.
My documents are mostly texts with Microsoft Word and numbers with Microsoft Excel.
I am using the new beta preview Word and Excel.
I copied everything (15 Go) to iCloud.
Not only the files don't synchronize between computers, they disappear.

You'll have to give yourself permission to the files. Do a +Get Info+ via the Finder, click the padlock at the lower right, and enter your Admin password.
Then click the plus sign at the bottom, and select your user account. That will give you Read rights. Click the arrows in front of +Read Only+ and select +Read & Write.+
If they're all in a folder, do this on the folder, then click the "gear" icon and select +Apply to enclosed items.+ That may take a while if there are a lot of files.

Airport extreme loses internet connection all the time with imac and macbook pro

I keep losing the internet connection with airport extreme on my imac and macbook pro but NOT with my pc

Ok, so when you say you lose internet connection, is it disconnecting from your wireless network so there are no bars?
And are there usually full bars?

Connecting iMac and MacBook Pro using a non-Apple wireless router

I use a Belkin wireless router. Is there any way for me to connect iMac and MacBook Pro using the router to share files? I think I read somewhere that I need AirPort Extreme for this, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

Great resource from Dennis...file sharing, I.e. networking, is a function of the operating system settings and not the brand of router. Using Mac OS X 10.6 on both machines makes it really seamless. Following Dennis's kb article should make the two almost act like one machine.

IMac and Macbook Pro WoW gaming

Hi!
I currently own a macbook, and I need to upgrade if I want to play WoW in a decent quality.
However, I could NOT find any decent information about performance on the new iMac and Macbook Pro machines.
Would it be possible that if any owner that plays WoW could set graphics to Highest possible settings and post their frames per second in Dalaran for example? Mac details and specs would be very appreciated, specially for the graphics card.
Maybe this is not the place for this post, but I hope someone help me out on this. =)
Thanks!

The server and type of connection are also important. I get pretty bad latency over WiFi, for example, and the Gul Dan server has been really slow of late. I have 20M down / 5M up to the house and 801.11g router. With my 2007 MBP over wireless (good connection), I generally get in the mid 40's to 50's in the Outlands, but got 6 when I logged in last night (by the time I logged out, it had crept up to about 35).
On my 2007 24" iMac (C2D w/ the NVidia option -- last of the white models), I generally get 100-110 at 1900x1200 -- and that's using 100Mbps ethernet to the switch plugged into the ONT.
