Blocking iMessage and FaceTime from macbook pro

i just installed yosemite.
1) is there a way to COMPLETELY BLOCK iMessages from my iPhone from ever showing up on my macbook pro?
i noticed that when i go into iMessage preferences on my macbook pro that in settings i was able to turn off my cell phone number (?and email account) so that messages would never pop up on my iMac. but i also noticed that under accounts, "blocked" it LISTS the names and phone numbers of people i have blocked! is there some way to make sure this NEVER shows up on my macbook pro?
when i "deleted" some of the blocked names in accounts of iMessage on my macbook pro, and then looked on my phone, i noticed they were no longer blocked. so i blocked a particular individual again via my phone, and it showed up in my iMessage as blocked on my macbook pro.
is there a way to just remove or completely hide iMessage on my macbook pro? can i also remove it from the ?toolbar at the bottom of the computer?
2) same thing with FaceTime. i never use it on my iPhone (have it turned off on my iPhone), and have it turned off on my macbook via preferences. but is there also a way to remove it or hide it on my macbook pro, so that it never shows up? also remove it from ?toolbar at bottom of macbook?
(interestingly, as i typed this, i noticed the iMessage icon disappeared from my ?toolbar at the bottom of the macbook pro. was that because i hit the "hide iMessage" under preferences on my macbook?)
thank you for your help,
a-

Sign out of Messages by going to System Preferences/Internet Accounts and deselect the enable this account box. To get it out of the Dock, control - click and hold, then Options/Remove from Dock. Dock procedure is the same for FaceTime.
For FaceTime, open the application then FaceTime/Preferences, and deselect enable this account.

  • How to sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad 2?

    How do I sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad2?

    I have the same problem and have not been able to get contacts transferred from my MacBook Pro to my iPad 2.  I have checked "sync contacts", when it does the sync it says it is syncing contacts, but the address book on the iPad remains empty.  I tried checking the box under "advanced" that says to replace the contacts information on the iPad, sync again, same result—an empty address book on the iPad.  Any suggestions?

  • Can't iMessage or text from Macbook Pro (2014 Retina)

    I am having issues with iMessage on my mid-2014 Retina Macbook Pro. I cannot use iMessage as it sends from my email not my phone number. My iMessage account on my iPhone uses the same email address as I have entered on my Macbook iMessage account and for some reason it still shows as a different person when I message from my Mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am currently running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B23, Pre-relase version beta). One of my friends is also running a pre-release version of Yosemite and has no issues.

    Boot from your system CD, run Disk First Aid from your Disk Utility and repair your permissions.

  • Apple tv lag and disconnecting from macbook pro

    I have an apple TV connected to the projector in my room. I connect my macbook pro to the apple tv wirelessly (obviously). There is an airport in the hallway (maybe 20 yards from me), and I am on a network. I have videos downloaded from the internet on my computer that I want to show my students on the projector. Sometimes it works. However, more times than not, there is a lag, the video freezes (audio continues to play usually). Sometimes the apple tv just disconnects (which means reconnecting it and re-selecting my speaker -- total pain!). I need something reliable that I can count on to use with my classes! So far, Apple TV is not it.
    Also, for some reason I cannot put a DVD in the drive and have it play on through apple TV to the projector. Something about not being able to change over display?
    I could really use some help, I'm really frustrated. I teach K-5th, one after the other, and I have different curriculum for each -- it is hard to have enough back up when the apple tv does not work.

  • HT4623 How do I copy photo and music from MacBook Pro to Mini Ipad?

    I have a MacBook Pro that has my collection of Photos and Music. I recently bought a Mini Ipad and wanted to copy/transfer some of my Photos and Music from the MacBook to the Mini Ipad. Have tried but cannot perform drag and drop since the Ipad is not showing up in the Finder app.
    Looked into the Lightning to 300 cable (for my Iphone touch or Ipod) but the adapter has a female connector for the 300 and don't know how I can attach my Iphone or Ipod to transfer data with the other end of the cable is USB or AC .
    Thanks

    The iPad won't appear in Finder, you should be able to sync content by connecting it to your computer's iTunes -do you have iTunes installed on your Mac, and your music library in it ? You can add music to iTunes via File > Add To Library
    With iTunes 11 on your Mac you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S. Then select the iPad on that left-hand sidebar and use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync your music to the iPad's Music app.
    Syncing music : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    Similary to sync photos use the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes. There is some info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    You can't transfer music from an iPod or iPhone to an iPad

  • Connecting and viewing from macbook pro and tv - hardware in hand - how to do it?

    Trying to connect my macbook pro (purchased 12/2011) to Sony TV.  Have the mini display port to hdmi cable and plugged in from computer to tv hdmi.  What do I do next to view computer items (Iphoto for example) on tv? 

    Go to settings-display and make sure that the tv is enabled as either mirror or a second display. Example here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019.  Also make sure your tv is set to the correct input.

  • IPad mini Retina keeps disconnecting and reconnecting from Macbook Pro USB 3.0

    Good evening everyone,
    I know this title seems similar to existing questions around the internet, but they were either out of date or didn't lead to an answer.
    The two devices in question are an iPad Mini Retina and a Macbook Pro late 2013. They are both up-to-date in software terms with iOS 8.3 and OS X 10.10.3.
    I kind of ruled out the cable as the culprit because the connection to my iPhone is flawless which makes me think the USB ports aren't part of the problem either (Problem occurs on both Ports). Connecting the iPad to a power socket works fine as well.
    As the title states it (re-)connects and disconnects in intervals of approx. 0.5 seconds which is followed by a "dong", the charging symbol on the iPad and a message in iTunes which either states "Device isn't connected" or "Device wasn't found". I tried to check the box in iTunes "Prevent devices from automatically syncing[...]" but nothing changed.
    This problem does not occur at all times but I have not been able to get a hold of when it does work.
    I also tried a diagnose on my Macbook but no errors have been found and the iTunes Version is up to date as well.
    This is about all the input I got and really do hope to get some helping answers.
    Looking forwards for and appreciating your answers
    Marius

    It does seem to be a cable issue although the iPhone got no problems.. Mysterious.
    Thank you

  • I can not transfer files and data from macbook pro to my external hard drive, i can not transfer files and data from macbook pro to my external hard drive , so what should i do ?

    i have an external hard disk but whenever i tried to transfer any file or data from macbook to this ext.disk its failed before that i used to have another hard drive with same problem ,then i thought may  be this hard drive is not support mac then i bought a new one which supports mac but still i have same problem what should i do ?

    Ok.
    Go into Disk Utility, and make sure you select your external hard drive.
    There should be 4 tabs, one being erase. I have taken a screenshot to show you what it should be set to (obviously name it what you like), and set the format to Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) as per the example below & after double checking your in the right drive, you can hit erase. And you're done! *hopefully*

  • Seagate Plug and Play from Macbook Pro to Macbook Air

    Recently bought a new Macbook Air to upgrade my 2010 Macbook Pro 13 inch.
    I had been using a Seagate Plug and Play external hardrive that needed no formatting on my Macbook Pro . However when I tried to use the same on my Macbook Air it did not allow me to drag files across the the hardrive.
    I can see it in the Finder but unable to drag files to it.
    I thought Plug and Play woudl across all Macs?

    OS X comes with the ability to read NTFS but not write it. Some Seagate drives come with software to enable writing NTFS on that drive. You probably installed it on your 2010 MBP when you got the drive, then forgot you had done so. Find the software installer if it is still on the drive and run it on your MBA. (You might have to locate a newer version online.)
    Alternatively, you can purchase a version that can run on any NTFS disk. I use Paragon NTFS for Mac. I initially got a limited version with a Seagate drive, then purchased the full version.
