Can i upgrade iMac from my MacBook Pro disc?

hi, does anyone know if i can use my new macbook pro tiger disc to upgrade system on my 2 year old iMac? just not sure if there is something specific on the disc to the macbook & intel processor that would mess up the iMac. Or maybe it's not designed to put system on anything other than that piece of hardware? (sorry, not very versed in mac stuff like this!) thanks...

Actually isn't Apple's EULA that the program can be installed as many times as you want, but only one copy can be running at once?
So if you want to be legal (although architecture problems will keep you from even getting to this point) Just shut down the iMac before you boot the MacBook :-P

    Wow, that's very disappointing.
    I see that you can transfer between two Macs but not, as you say, between older Macs and iOS.
    For others, the following is from Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
    iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
    *The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.

    Can I upgrade my mid 2010 macbook pro to use airplay?

    Unfortunately, no you can't.
    Just to be clear.  Your computer will support AirPlay it's just AirPlay Mirroring that requires newer hardware.

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar, which might make it easier to navigate and may instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more 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.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

    No you don't need to use AirPlay from the computer to AppleTV.
    Just use the AppleTV as you would with wifi. Everything is controlled from the AppleTV.

  • How can I play sound from my MacBook Pro through my iMac?

    I have a MacBook pro which I am looking to use for only iTunes or Spotify for the time being but the iMac built in speakers are better.
    I am internet sharing from an ethernet on my iMac and the Macbook pro is connected to the shared network.
    Can I play music from Spotify on my macbook pro but out of my iMac speakers?
    Thanks
    James

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:
