2nd iMac...can I connect the 2 via firewire to initially share photos?

I have a 2nd iMac in my home now and want to keep an updated version of my photos on both. Initially, is there a way to connect the 2 to transfer pics faster than plugging 2nd iMac in and transferring them via shared files over Bonjour? Thanks for the help...

If you have a home network you can transfer files using file sharing. Turn file sharing on from the Sharing preferences pane. For help select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "sharing" or "file sharing."

  • I'm in need for a thunderbolt display before December.  My old Imac is like new (don't want to invest in a new Imac yet).  Can I connect the thund-D to the old Imac via USB for the time being?

    Their are some display adaptors you can get. I have an older Mac Pro with DVI but my monitor is a Thunderbolt Display. This used to be around $250. It is way cheaper now.

  • New iMac can't find the old iMac via Ethernet

    I just bought a new 27" iMac and I am trying to migrate data from my old iMac.
    I have the two machines hooked together via Ethernet and have Etherenet turned on in the source iMac but the new iMac can't find the old iMac. The pinwheel keeps spinning with no success. What should I do here?

    What FireWire?
    There is no FireWire port on the new machine so this is a non-starter.
    Unfortunately you didn't read my post very thoroughly. You are correct, the new iMacs do not include FW however your old Mac probably does. For just that reason and more Apple makes a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter which you can use if you opt to use FW Target Disk Mode. You can find the adapter by going to your Apple online store or Amazon carries it to. Here is the Amazon link:
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Thunderbolt-to-FireWire-Adapter/dp/B008RXYOKY/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366831510&sr=8-1&keywords=thunderbolt+to+firewire+cable
    However as I mentioned use TM or a bootable clone with Migration Assistant. If your old Mac was using any verison of OS X from Leopard (10.5.x) on at the very least you should have a  Time Machine backup!
    Also use Pondiini's guide as AnaMusic suggests, it's THE GUIDE for using Migration Assistant and Setup Assistant. He has also created excellent guides for Time Machine too.

  • HT204384 my iMAC can't read the SD card. Any ideas?

    My iMAC can't read the SD card of my Canon camera. I've tried reinserting slowly and quickly and dusting it. My camera can see the pictures on the SD card, which is only two months old. The same thing happened a few months ago. I figured it was an old card and probably damaged so bought a new one but this one has the same problem. my port was checked in store a  couple of months ago too. I am running out of ideas....

    How long has it been since you fully formatted the SD in the camera?  I ask because some cameras are very good at messing up the card just enough that while they can read/write to it fine other systems may be confused.  All it takes is a minor firmware glitch.
    If you haven't hard formatted the SD in the camera for a while try downloading your pictures by connecting the camera to the iMac via USB.  After the download is complete--and you have verified that it is full and complete--format the SD in the camera, snap a photo, then try connecting the SD directly to the iMac.
    Might not work, but worth a try as it's free to do.
    Another thing is to make sure that the firmware in your camera is up to date.

  • How can I connect multiple devices to Mac mini display port? I need to connect a Canon 5D to my Mac and display the result on a VGA video projector. I am using mini hdmi to mini display for the camera. Can I connect the VGA to any other port?

    Hi there I am connecting a Canon 5D to my laptop trying to use it as a webcam trough camtwist.
    At the same time I need to output the streaming to a videoprojector.
    The cam is connected to the mini display port do there is no port available for the VGA cable anymore.
    Do I need to use a different port for the projector? Should I buy a video card?
    Can't connect the camera via USB as that is too slow and it will freeze.
    Many thanks for all your help

  • How can I connect the remote server which is installed with oracle

    Now my computer is in my home,in my computer there is installed with the oracle 9i client,the server is also installed with oracle 9i,which is in my company.Now I want to use sql*plus to connect the database of the server through the internet work.I have created one listener service name in my home computer,but can't test successfully and the sql*plus can't connect the database.Who can tell me how to do it?Thank you!

    Technical questions need to be addressed to one of the technical forums-- Products | Database | Database - General in this case.
    Unless you are VPN-ing in or the DBA's at your company have configured Oracle Connection Manager to allow you to connect through the firewall to the database, however, I doubt this will work. If they have configured Connection Manager, you'll have to ask them to provide you with connection information. 99.9% of the time, you do not want people to access a database via the internet.

    How can I connect the first generation ipod to macbook air or macbook pro? Using an adapter?

    macbook air
    The only theoretical solution is an USB ExpressCard adapter and FireWire ExpressCard. I don't know if anyone's actually attempted it.
    macbook pro
    A FireWire 400 to 800 cable or adapter, also known as 6 pin to 9 pin.

  • Imac can't connect to internet but ethernet working

    Any ideas on how to resolve this, has me baffled. In an office where all other computers can connect but for some reason this imac can't.

    Is the  indicator next to Ethernet in the left Network panel breen or red?  Green should indicate it is enabled. 
    Did you se your IPv4 setting appropriately (probalby DHCP).
    Try using alternate DNS servers such as OpenDNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) or google's DNS's (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).  Click the Advanced button, TCP/IP, and renew your lease if you are using DHCP.  Configure IPv6 as Automatically (or off?).  Also make sure all proxies are off.
    For comparison look at the Network settings for one of the machines that is working.
    Finally, is this machine connected to a router that may have its own problems?

  • My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket .. Help!

    My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket so would also have to use a splitter. Tried Apple Support but couldn't offer a solution. I can't be the only person with this issue surely?
    Help!

    No, unless you are using a home theatre system already, your only option is to connect to the TV.

    How can I connect the iTunes in my iPad (now with iOS7) to my Power PC Mac?

    Nope, the top OS version for the IBM processor is 10.5.8, and under that version I can not update the iTunes further than the 10.6.3 :-(
    But that means the brand leaves a large chunch os costumers with still perfectly operating computers out of the loop on purpose, so to force us to upgrade computer?
    Not fair at all, both are legitimate Apple products, they should sync no matter what! The sad thing is theu used to, before I migrated to iOS7 on the iPad, move that I now regret...

  • How can I connect the ipad2 to an Epson Stylus SX445W wifi printer?

    How can I connect the ipad2 to an Epson Stylus SX445W wifi printer?
    Any help appreciated. Obviously I'm not technically minded so simple... Sorry... Very simple instructions would be great. Thanks

    Does the iPad come up with a "no AirPrint printers found" message? If so, the most common fault is that the printer isn't on the same WiFi network as the iPad. Your printer may also need a firmware update. Epson has some support information here that may be of help:

  • How can i connect the Faulhaber Motor to MID-7654?

    How can i connect the Faulhaber Motor (3564 024BC, with Encoder HEDM 5500 B12) to MID-7654?
    The Motor has following wires:
    A: Hall sensor green; A: Phase brown; B: Hall sensor blue; B: Phase orange; C:  Hall sensor gray;
    C: Phase yellow; +5V: Voltage red; GND: Ground black
    The Encoder has:
    5: Channel B; 4: Vcc; 3:            Channel A; 2: Channel I (Zero impulse); 1: GND
    I don't know how I can connect the encoder to MID-7654 using these wires (what is Encoder Index? Instead of this i only have Channel I !) 
    Thanks!
    WLAN

    Unfortunately there are different designators for the encoder signal which NI refers to as encoder index. In your case I am pretty sure that the I channel is identical to encoder index.
    Other designators I have found are Z (z-ero signal) and R (r-eference signal) for the index signal.
    Make sure that the index signal is at the correct level. For most applications it should be active low (i.e. it should be at high level during most of a turn and go low when the index mark passes the opto switch, I think it should be like this on most if not all Agilent optical encoders as you have it on your motor. This happens for a very small turning angle only and is hard to detect when turning an encoder/motor manually, so if you try to find the index signal turn the motor/encoder veeery slowly.
