  • Can i use my iPad, iPhone, Mac with 2 independant iCloud accounts (private, business) simultanuously ? How ?

    can i use my iPad, iPhone, Mac with 2  iCloud accounts (private, business) simultanuously ? How ?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes you can do that, however you can only have one primary account. You will need to set one account up as a secondary account and choose which account you wish to do this with, since you can only use mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders with a secondary account.
    On your Mac, you would enter the account at system preferences> mail, contacts & calendars, on your mobile device you would enter your account at settings> mail, contacts, calendars.

  • Can i use a 85 watt charger with a new macbook air

    Can i use a 85 watt charger with a new macbook air that comes with a 45 watt charger. One says its 14.8 volts and the other is 20 volts.

    To be clear, the wattage of the adapter is not the power delivered to the Mac, but rather the power the adapter is capable of delivering.
    Think of it as the difference between a 200 HP and a 400 HP engine; both can drive at a certain speed with no issues, the difference is what happens if you floor the gas pedal.
    The same is true between the higher wattage power adapter that comes with the iPad and the one that comes with iPhones; you can use the higher wattage adapter to charge and iPhone with no issue, but if you try and use the iPhone adapter to charge the iPad it may work, but it will take much, much longer.

  • HT5639 Can I use Boot Camp to install Linux on my MacBook Pro?

    Can I use Boot Camp to install Linux on my MacBook Pro?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Boot Camp wasn't designed to install Linux. Apart from that, the Boot Camp version included in OS X Mountain Lion will ask you to insert a Windows 7 or Windows 8 DVD in order to run Boot Camp, as far as I know.
    Apple doesn't support Linux on Macs, but it works properly on Macs. There are a lot of how-to's in the Internet about the steps to install Linux and the different possibilities you have. Also, what distribution do you want to install on the computer? You should also consider the option to install Linux on a virtual machine

  • I want to migrate from using 2 computers (a mac mini and a macbook pro) to only the macbook

    I currently use both a MacMini at home and a MacBook Pro while I'm on the road.
    My email is sync'd via Google Mail, but I have photo's and documents (for my projects) that are not sync'd between the two computers.
    I use Time Machine with difference external drives to backup each computer.
    I would like to migrate to using only the MacBook but I need to make sure that both machines are sync'd and my photo's and documents are the same on both.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    The Mac Mini is running OSX 10.7.5 and the Mac Book is runing OSX 10.8.3
    Thanks in advance

    You could try using sync/backup software that could do that automatically. You have several from which to choose that might work best:
    Suggested Backup Software
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Data Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
      7. Sync Folders Pro 2.9.3
      8. Folder Sync v1.4.4
      9. SyncTwoFolders 1.8.4
    Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • How can i use Mail on 2 macs with the same mail address?

    Hi,
    I have two Macs, connected through WLAN. From each Mac I can use Mail (sending and receiving) with the same mail address. This worked well; on each Mac I have separate files storing the mails (input, sent, trash, …).
    Some days ago I had to change the provider. (Perhaps this may be the reason for my problem?) Now both mail systems are connected - in the way that if I put on Mac *1 a mail into the trash it is automatically thrown into the trash on Mac *2.
    What is to be done to separate the two systems (i. e. make them independent of each other)?
    Hans

    It looks like you are using a IMAP mail account, a protocol used by most email providers nowadays. Read -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol
    The main feature of IMAP is the sync of all the changes you do on your mail account. If you want to keep your mails on one Mac, have a look at this site -> http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3908294

  • Can I use my contact in Mac with icloud for bigger size of my contacts in Mac?

    My conact list has 3700 now.  My contact in mac book size is 4MB.
    Before, I used with icloud. It happended double or triple my contacts and it became a hugh file size and I deleted many same contacts.
    At that time, I was afraid to use icloud.
    Now, I can't synchronize my contacts in itunes with my iphone5.  IOS Maverick only allows my contacts to use with icloud.
    Can anyone know if I can use my big contact list with icloud without happening double or triple to be able to use with any devices of my same icloud id name?
    Regards,

  • Can I use CS3 on a Mac with Lion 10.8.4?

    Hi, Ive recently purchased a Mac with Lion as the operating system 10.8.4, and have CS6 suite. However, my old mac runs CS3, and I still have this software which I also want to run on my new mac. However,when I go to open a flash file with CS3, its keeps saying trial expired. I have the serial number for this but it won't let me install properly as it thinks im upgrading but I wish to run cs3 for a special project. Can you help?

    Open the presentations in iWork '09, "Duplicate", then "Save". In the dialog box, towards the bottom, check "Save a copy as.." and choose "iWork '08" from the pull down menu. That should give a copy that you can take to the church Mac.
    Unfortunately I don't have iWork '08 available to check this so I can't guarantee that it will work!

  • Can I use my iMac as a 'display' for my MacBook Pro?

    Hi all, I am really hoping someone can help me here.
    I am wondering if I can use my 24" iMac as a display for my MacBook Pro (both running Snow Leopard).
    It's my father's 80th birthday party in about 24 hours time. I am doing up the music and slideshow (thanks Apple - so easy!).
    My plan was to simply take my iMac and use it. However, I managed to drop the wireless keyboard (darn those dogs) and now my keyboard won't work. I have no backup keyboards here (gave the wired one to Dad to use with his Mac mini). I live in a country area with no access to a Mac store and it will take more than 24 hours to get a new one. Went to my local 'other computer' general store last night: I really don't want to buy an ugly black keyboard..... I have just had a great idea:
    Can I network my MacBook Pro and use it as the source for the slide show and simply use the iMac as a display? I have plenty of DVI adaptors but am just not sure how I would go about the software side of things? Or should I simply buy an ugly PC keyboard (and if I do, will the WIndows button work as an Apple button???)
    Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The imac 24 can't be used as a monitor over a DVI connection or the like, Suzanne, but you may be able to achieve what you want to using "Screen Sharing" by networking the two computers. This lets your MBP effectively control what is running on the iMac.
    See HERE for the basic setup. For information about how to access the "shareable" screen from the MBP see HERE.
    One possible problem may be actually getting this set-up on the iMac if it is not already enabled, however, unless you can borrow a keyboard from someone (your password may have to be entered to enable it). You may be able to get around this, if necessary, using the "keyboard viewer" (which you can place in the menubar using System preferences > Keyboard, if you don't already have it there).
    Cheers

  • I can't use the new Adobe Reader X on my Macbook Pro. HELP!

    The other day I downloaded the new Adobe Reader X on my MacBook Pro. Since then I can't open pdfs in Firefox. How can this problem be solved????

    Hey vgamborg,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    This article should help you troubleshoot issues playing sound from the built-in speakers. Try the steps listed, and I quoted a part about the red light.
    Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1574
    Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.

  • Is it best to buy new ms office software for iPad or can I use my ms office already installed on my MacBook Pro ?

    Can I use my current ms office on my MacBook Pro on my iPad or must I purchase new ms office software for iPad?

    Hi,
    There's an app called Jump Desktop (Remote Desktop) in the app store. It's the fourth highest 'paid' app and the third highest 'grossing' app in the business category. (Go to the app store, then click on categories, then business. Then over on the right under top grossing and top paid you can click on Jump and read the reviews.)
    You can work from your ipad with documents, spreadsheets, etc., make changes in them on your ipad and they will be reflected on your computer (mac or pc.) And you don't need a cellular ipad to make the connection. All you need to do is have your MBP on at home with a wireless network and be in an area where you have wireless access to connect your ipad (or iphone) with your MBP at home.
    Jump Desktop (Remote Desktop) RDP/VNC will let you access your mac and all of your mac programs like MS Word, Excel, etc., as they are on your ipad. There's a free trial at jumpdesktop.com. If you like it you can then come back to the App store and buy it.  Please note that there are many free apps that will help but you might have to spend extra time adapting your work to an ios app as many (most?) do not translate from mac to ipad well.
    Please read the reviews in the app store (I suggest you start with the most recent ones) and read reviews by pro tech reviewers. 
    Hope this helps.

  • How Can I use Type II PC Cards (cardbus) On My Macbook Pro

    Greetings...
    I have tried a search but to no avail.... I was given FREE of charge a EVDO pc card to use with UNLIMITED usage p/month...PROBLEM is I have Macbook Pro original release.. the card is obviously the Type II pc card..
    1. is there any way i can use this card with my macbook pro?
    2. what is the official "name" of my model? i.e. 1st release.. ect. ect..
    3. what other way can i make this work?
    please do advise..
    thank you kindly!!
    oNe

    Hi Sean,
    1. I found this with a quick Google search: http://www.duel-systemsadapters.com/?productid=DP-0001
    Only catch with this is the cost of the adapter negates the free pc card.
    2. Not sure of an official name other than MacBook Pro and then it's CPU speed and its chip designation (i.e. Core Duo, Core 2 Duo). I've seen the last couple of generations referred to by Intel's designations (i.e. Santa Rosa, Penryn).
    3. Don't know any other way other than getting an Expresscard-compliant card.
    HTH.

  • Can I use the same Time Capsule to backup two MacBook Pros?

    Basically, I want to know if I can backup my late 2009 MacBook Pro and my new one with retina display using the same time capsule? Maybe should I create different partitions on the time capsule?

    Yes, provided your backup drive is big enough. For a Time Machine backup your backup drive should be at least twice the capacity of the drive it backs up. In the case of two drives sum the capacities of the two drives. Be sure you backup drive is at least twice that capacity.
    You cannot partition a Time Capsule drive.

  • How can i use my phone number for imessage on my macbook pro?

    I have been trying to sync my iMessages between my iPhone 4s and my macbook pro but it will only use my email. I have been told to change the setting in the message menu but I can't seem to find that! Help me please!!!
    Thank you!

    TRy to check on your imessage setting on your iphone. It should be setting>messages> imessage. If you can see your phone number then your mac will be able to see your message. If not toggle the message on and off. Once activated your mac will ask you if you would like to use your number for imessage, click agree(0r yes) then you will also receive a message on your iphone that your mac started using your phone number for imessage
