Another sync Q. Trouble with 2 macs syncing
I had two separate icals with very similar calendars and I was able to get them to exchange info but I usually got a conflict warning that I told it to ignore.
I thought I could start fresh so I deleted most of the calendars from my powerbook then synced the eMac to make sure everything was up to date (I sync manually) then I tried syncing the powerbook and nada nothing zip.
Is there a way to import my eMac ical (everything) to my powerbook?
thank you
I hope this is an easy fix for a quick solved star
--fingers crossed

Well I don't know what happened but I erased both calendars and started over.
Now I can add things to the laptop then have the eMac sync them and visa-versa.

If I have another iphone and restore with my Mac, what happen with the FindMyIphone if I have two iPhone's with the same backup or sync with the same computer?
If you have more than one device on the same Apple ID, Find My iPhone will let you choose the one to find.

Hi, i am having trouble with my mac mail account, i cannot send or receive any emails because of the server connection problems. Message says it could not be connected to SMTP server. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

I am having trouble with my mac mini ethernet. It had been working for weeks after an update to SL 10.6.8.
Once it went out and i repaired it by defining a new connection from System Preferences ->Network->(left panel service, +).
But yesterday, after a power up. my ethernet was not working again. I tried this old trick to repair it, but the interface choices
listed for '+' a new service did not include Ethernet any more. And the Utilities->System Profiler->Ethernet Cards shows
no ethernet available.
As a last ditch effort i reloaded my original SL from DVD. (I think it was version 10.6.4 but i could be mistaken on the version).
The ethernet worked! But KeyNote wasn't going to work because apparently the version i purchased depends on 10.6.8.
So I upgraded again to SL 10.6.8 (Plus some other updates like AirPort which i don't use).
Now the Ethernet is not working again. I see the same symptoms as before with the Ethernet seeming not installed.
Is this a problem seen by others?
Would going to Lion fix the problem?
Could AirPort actually be the culprit and not SL?
If i stay with my original SL, would i need to repurchase a version of KeyNote for the older version of SL?Have you reset the SMC?
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again. -

I am having a lot of trouble with my mac.
About a week ago I wrote a question about the flashing question mark when starting the computer. After many days of having that problem, I manage to make it work by unplugging the battery and when starting holding the option and shiftt keys. However las Sunday I manage to make a bak up of the information in my mac and reseted the computer. When I reseted the computer it was working all ok.
I have to make clear that at this time, the back cover had no screws in, as apparently without the screws it was causing less problems.
Once the computer was reseted and the software were working fine, I decided to put the screws back in. ( I had turned the computer off to put the screws back).
When I turned the computer on again, the question mark Icon on the file came up again. Reason which I turned it off again, unplugged the battery press the power button whilst the battery was unplugged to some sort of resetting. Plaggged the battery in and worked. It was only telling me that the date and time were back in 1/1/2008 and changed it to the actual date and time. After that the computer was fine starting up with no problem. I decided to ask my huisband to put the screws back in for me. ( I wasnt sure if it was me putting them back in very tight) when my husband put the screws back in, the computer started to play up again. When I came home from work I started to try and make it work again, as I had done before unplugging the battery and pressing the power button whilst unplugged etc. and didnt work. I called then to apple support, and he told me that it was a very weird case as the screws has nothing to do with the operative system or software. He told me that holding: comand +option+control+shift would do the same effect as unplugging the battery. However he also told me that it could be a problem with the hard drive as the file with the question mark was very frequent and that it happens when it cannot find the system to run. After talking with him, I tried the 4 keys as he told me but I think that in one occasion I release one of them and the computer turned on and I kept holding the 4 keys. After that, didnt start, so my husband told me to reset the compute again, and put in the "snow leopard" cd to reset the computer.
in addition to that and to top it off, when I was running the installation cd, it only goes to "select the disk where you want to install" but it doesn't show any disk to select and when I try to eject the cd doesn't work either.
Could the fact that I pressed and hold the 4 keys, command, option, control and shift at the time and I accidentally turn the computer on holthing them together have cancelled the disk or deactivate it?
I don't know If I have made my self clear or not. But need oppinions or if someone knows what can b wrong and what can I do?
Thank you all for the help.It sounds like either your hard drive or the SATA cable that connects it to the motherboard are failing. This could be heat related in your case, which is why you see it after it runs awhile. You can take it to the Genius Bar for a free evaluation. If you decide to test it yourself, I usually suggest moving the hard drive to an external enclosure. If it works there for awhile, the cable is probably the issue.

I am having trouble with my Mac Pro 2006
I can get it to boot up in safe mode only. Will not boot from a disk, will not boot up regularly, wavy pink lines across the entire screen, even after its booted in safe mode. If I try to booted up normally I just get stuck in the grey/blue screen after the Apple logo. I have done the standard troubleshooting, resetting PRAM, etc. I ran the disk utility once I was booted up in safe mode and it said that both volumes were fine. I tried removing the additional RAM that I had installed, nothing. The optical drive reads the disc when it is in the computer and I'm booted up in safe mode, but when I try to restart to boot from the disk so that I can run utility, it just freezes on the Apple logo. Not sure what to do next, if I should take it to a professional or just remove the data that I need from the disks and scrap it. Help is appreciated if you can.
My Mac Pro 1,1 has new FBDIMMs, new graphic card, some SSDs in there, even USB 3 PCIe.
But anything could go or be suspect and a list or output from Etrecheck gives a better starting point.
FBDIMMs are easy to find on ebay and elsewhere.
The original memory is old, and might want to try with just a pair of new set of FBDIMMs instead.
Bad RAM can result in files that are garbage, even if the directory is fine.
There are some 3rd party programs that can help, from Carbon Copy Cloner to Disk Warrior.
SSDs are a great way to go. And start with a clean install with some new or changed hardware.
Finding a graphic card - and that would be #1 suspect
A Mac Pro 4,1 are popular, inexpensive way to go and are selling on ebay and Craigslist for under US$500. -
Trouble with connecting Mac with printing Network of PCs
Massive Frustrations. I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro with OS X to my existing PC Network. I matched up the workgroup name and the sharing folders seems to be working. The printers are listed and everything seems to be running, but when I tried printing to my HP Photosmart and my Epson Inkjet printer (both linked to my pc network), it is printing alright -BUT continously with blank pages and a lot of binary jibberish - I do not know what else to do to correct this...everything seems to be configured accordingly, but I'm not getting the correct pages when printing. Any suggestions or oppinions anyone????!?! It would help greatly.
Thanks!

Trouble with reinstalling Mac OS X 10.4 software
Hi.
I am trying to reinstall my Mac OS X software (Tiger). I've inserted CD1. Step by step I've reached 3rd step- "Select a destination volume". And... no image appears. I restarted my laptop several different times and ways, trying to logout from Installer and login to Mac HD. Now when I turn on my laptop, it starts with Installer. And no choice to eject the Disk 1 or for any other options?! I am not very familiar with Macintosh products, but I have been a little disappointed for the last year using Mac. Every help will be very appreciated!
Thank you!MacBook OS X 10.4.(Tiger)
Actually I went to Disk utilities. There my HD appears. I choose option erase volume. Then HD appeared in the Installing window as untitled HD. Now the installing process is running well. Hope it will finish up successfully.
The tip for ejecting CD worked well. 10x!

Trouble with opening Mac system operator. Strange pulsing noise.
When I open the laptop it takes a while to reboot and the circular rainbow disc shows up for a really long time so i can't even authenticate the system. I closed and reopened the laptop many times to no avail and it started to make this loud pulsing noise. So I took the battery out. and although without the battery it made the pulsing noise I managed to authenticate it with my password and open the system.
What could be the problem? My mac is not even a year old. i use a regular adaptor since I am in Europe and it has an American plug. Could this be a factor? What should I do?First thing you should do, if you haven't... Get the 3 year extended AppleCare.
Tough to say about the noise from here, but I'd try this first...
Get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start. -
There no mac osx on my mid 2009 macbook pro I try to install snow leopard on it. It turn grey screen apple logo for 5 min then just turn to blue screen what is the problem?
You need to use the installation discs that originally came with your machine. If you've lost them, you can call Apple and, with the srial number of your machine handy, they can send you a set of discs that came with your MBP. No idea what the cost is - $25 or so? - but uou'll be able to use disc one to erase your hard drive for a fresh install of the OS that came with your machine and then upgrade to Snow Leopard using your SL disc (which I'm assuming you have? If not, that can be ordered via the Apple Online Store).
Good luck,

Having trouble retrieving a word document,
I cant find my assignment anywhere on my Mac, and when i look at where i saved it, its like it has reverted back to when i first saved it, without all my work that i have completed.
Is there anyway that i can retrieve my work?Hey merodi,
I dont fully understand your problem here,
1. Did your computer shut down or 'die' or did you save and then you cant find it?
2. Have you tried looking in spotlight (little magnifying glass up the corner)
3. Have you tried opening the program again? In word and pages, if the program exited forcefully, opening it again will restore the document. -
I really wish someone could help me.
Thank you.Reinstalling OS X won't help you unless you erase the drive and reinstall from scratch. To do that you want a backup of your files so they won't be lost. If you can do that, then:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
Now, after the successful first startup you will be in the Setup Assistant. Be sure you give your new admin account the same username as the one on your backup. When you get to the Desktop I suggest you install Flash from the download link I gave you earlier. Open Safari and see if Flash is now working for you. I recommend you reinstall only your data at this time. Redownload and install any third-party software you use. Be sure you get only the most recent versions and that they are compatible with Mavericks - App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps. -

You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.
