Can't sync messages between Mountain Lion and iOS 6?
I'm currently using an iPhone 5, and I just upgraded my Mac to Mountain Lion. Unfortunately, the conversations I start on the iphone do not appear on the mac, and vice versa. I've tried everything, from restarting my devices, to logging out of everything and logging in again. I've also signed in with my Apple ID on both devices, but nothing seems to work.
Is there something that I'm doing wrong here?
I can just access Twitter through Safari to avoid that? (Before you tell me that Twitter isn't that private, I'm on there with a pseudoname).
Yes.
The integration of Twitter with Contacts is mostly about storing your contact Twitter and Facebook accounts much as you would store their phone numbers of email addresses.

Syncing contacts between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard?
One of my computers is running Mountain Lion, and the other is running Snow Leopard and so does not have access to iCloud. Is there any way to sync Contacts between the two computers?
I am not sure why you can't access iCloud, using a browser? Then you have the same address book, so long as you are connected to the internet. https://www.icloud.com/
No email involved. From the browser, you can download individual iCards or all of the individual cards, BUT unfortunately, not the Groups. So, you have to fiddle on the SL machine with keeping the groups organized.
Up until recently, I have been able to sync Contacts from ML (which stays synced to iCloud) to SL this way: copy the /Users/~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ folder from the ML computer to the SL computer by dragging the icon onto the dock's AddressBook icon, this should retain all the group info. But, recently, this has ceased being complete.
Apple really left us behind on this one. -
When syncing calendars between mountain lion and ios6 on iCloud, the times of events change
When I sync calendars between my iphone 4s running ios6 and my macbook pro running mountain lion 10.8.2 using icloud, the start times and end times of my events change ... very frustrating !!!
This is usually due to one of the two devices having the wrong time or being in the wrong time zone.

Home Sharing between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard
Hi
I have MacBook Pro both at work and at home. The one at work has Mountain Lion with the latest version of iTune and the one at home has Snow Leopard with iTune 10.7.
I want to share movies on my iTune account between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard. However, it doesn't seem to work....
How can I solve this problem?
FYI - I am not a big fan of Mountain Lion and do NOT want to upgrade my home computer to Mountain Lion.I am not sure why you can't access iCloud, using a browser? Then you have the same address book, so long as you are connected to the internet. https://www.icloud.com/

There is no driver for the OS Version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver. Refer to our FAQ section for connectivity issues.
In such a case as this I offer the following solution:
People who need to SCAN and/or PRINT without a compatible Lion or Montain Lion driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
Click Print & Scan ( ).
Click Print .

Will mountain lion and iOS 6 force me to use ICloud?
Reading the previews of mountain lion and ios 6, I get the impression that I'm going to be forced to use ICloud. Is this true? I don't want to be in the Cloud. And I don't want apps like Twitter mining information from or sharing information with, my Contacts. Should I upgrade? What happens if I don't? I have a macbook running lion and an IPhone 4 running Ios 5. Thanks.

Can I use Unix symbolic links between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard Mail folders?
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail is a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade.
Is there a way to use Unix symbolic links between actual OS X Mail folders in Mountain Lion and OS X Mail in Snow Leopard?
It seems the (trial) symbolic link created pointed to a blank file.It's not a matter of "letting" each maintain its own database, William. By default, I believe, I have no control over what gets written. In fact, if there were a way to set a preference that says, use this index named "spotlightindexSL' only [while in SL], that might solve my problem. Then when booting up in ML, it would just go after the index it last made.
My guess is that while I am in ML or SL and not the other, there are all sorts of changes to files and the system freaks and says "Oh, now look at what a mess I've made — there are all sorts of files unaccounted for. Now I have to rebuild the whole thing."
I have 2 had drives in my Mac, both 500GB. One (Working Disk) has no operating system and all my files, and the other drive is partitioned 470/30gb with SL on the 470 and ML in the 30. When I restart in either OS, the auto-start Indexing as if for the very first time, and do both hard drives (in total: 3 partitions of files, not counting the ML Restore partition).
I know it all uncoventionally — just wanted to see what my $20 new OS will cost me in software upgrades, in particular my $1800 Adobe Design Suite CS4 and a few others. -
Are there any known conflicts between Mountain Lion (10.8.3) and Microsoft Outlook for Mac? After installing, I can't send or receive eMails. Using a Macbook Pro.
Is this a recent problem or has it been going on for some time. If you just updated to ML, you might want to confirm that you've update to the latest MS Office / Outlook patches.

How can I sync security between Plannig, HSS and EAS?
Hi,
I think that I've trouble with security. Many answers at this forum contain that I need to sync security between Plannig, HSS and EAS?
How can I do it on EPM11.1.1.3?Hi,
If you feel that Shared Services is not in sync with Planning then you can use the [provisonusers |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin/ch03s13.html] utility.
If you want to sync essbase with Shared Services you can either right click security in EAS and refresh from HSS or use Maxl.
Cheers

Syncing messages between iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro
I don't seem to be able to sync messages between my iPhone 6 and my Macbook Pro (using 10.10.1). Trying to follow the online discussion, but left scratching my head. Help, help.
Hi Hawgjohn,
The new continuity features with iOS 8 are awesome, but they do take some setup to work properly. Luckily Apple has a big guide on how to set up all of the continuity features (including text messaging from your Mac) here: Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support.
Browse through that article and find the section that is relevant to your issue and follow the instructions -
How can I sync Exchange/GroupWise calendar with Mountain Lion and iOS 6.1?
On my iPhone I have defined the GroupWise server and I'm receiving every calendar events but it doesn't sync to my computer.
Any idea why and how to fix it?Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great. -

File sharing between Mountain Lion and Windows XP
I have both a Windows XP computer and a Mac running Mountain Lion. I have been able to set up sharing so that I can see the Windows folders on my Mac and the Mac folders on my Windows computer, but I cannot write directly to the folders from either direction.
What am I missing?Bear with me ... I've not gone through this before and am only going by instinct.
I assume that since you can see the folder on your Mac, you have File Sharing set to use Windows SMB protocol.
If you put a file on your Mac in the shared folder, can you copy out that file on the Windows system and paste it (to the Desktop) to get access? What about going the other way?
IOW, can you at least get access in both directions to bring a file out of the Shared folder and on to the local system (where it can be changed)?
My other suggestion is to enable Remote Login and set up SFTP access. Then, try writing to the Mac folder on the Windows XP side with a program that supports SFTP from Windows XP.

Screen Sharing between Mountain Lion and Tiger not working
rMBP running 10.8.2 ML and a G3 iMac running 10.4.11 Tiger.
When I try and use Screen Sharing on the MBP to connect to the G3 it prompts for both a username and password. I enter a valid user and pw but it fails with
Authenication failed to "Ruby".
Please verify you have entered the correct name and password.
Third-party VNC clients, e.g. JollysFastVNC on my MBP and Remoter on my iPhone, can connect fine, but they only request a password.
Any ideas?I've been using Screen Share on my home network for a very long time. My most used computer, MacBook Pro (2011) was just upgraded to ML, my desktop still has Lion on it - and can't be upgraded because it is an early MacPro. I was having intermittant problems getting the MBPro to connect to the MPro screen, and resetting the PRAM was correcting it (but it could have been the rebooting process alone - I don't know). Now I can share the MPro disks on my network but not the screen. Now, to me, that's wierd. I've tried doing all kinds of setting checks, preference removal, etc. No luck. I can, however (as someone above mentioned) connect from my MPro (Lion) to my MBPro (ML) screen. I've checked my Intego VirusBarrier X6 settings, i.e. blocked addresses (in the past that has happened and blocked) and I've even entered my MBPro address into the approved address section. I've checked/rechecked the Sharing Preferences, turned them on/off, etc. All to no avail.
Is this a Mountain Lion / Lion issue, a Mountain Lion issue, or something somewhere corrupt? I used to have Remote Desktop on the MPro, but for my needs Screen Share & Disk Share suit my needs on my home network. I have LogMeInIgnition, which when the last time I tried to connect to the MBPro it showed it offline - and it isn't. I feel there's something in ML blocking things.
I'm open to suggestions, and a fix if needed. This is frustrating. Not that I can't use the exercise to walk to the room where the MPro is - not the point.

Can I copy messages between a POP and an IMAP account?
Yesterday in helping me get access to my mail customer service at my ISP [AT&T] created a new account. Subsequently, when I deleted the old account, I lost all the messages in my Inbox and Sent folder. I did not realize when the new account was being created that it's an IMAP account. In the past AT&T mail accounts have been POP accounts.
I have a Time Machine. I restored the /Library/Mail folder from a time immediately preceding creation of the new account. I thought I would simply copy the older Inbox and Sent folder into the new /Library/Mail folder. but I noticed that the IMAP and POP folders are structered differently. I have tried copying messages files from the POP account folders into the corresponding IMAP folders, but they still are not showing up in the Inbox and Sent folders.
Is there a way to solve this problem---to get the missing messages from the POP account to the IMAP account?
Thanks,Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.
