Cannot get TM to backup my MBP onto the iMac's TM drive

Since Leopard was released I have been using the same drive to backup my MBP. Yesterday I received my new iMac and decided that I will be using the same drive to backup my iMac.
I connected said drive to the iMac and enabled TM, no problems so far, how ever my MBP doesn't recognize my drive anymore. States that the next backup will be when the drive is connected.
I was under the impression that TM could backup to networked drives (since 10.5.3 so they claimed).
In the TM drive options, 'none' is the only available choice.
Any advice would be great. Thanks

Apple made that claim BEFORE Time Machine was officially released, but recanted upon releasing TM. Apple only supports TM over a network drive via Time Capsule. A 'newer' (Gigabit) AirPort Extreme Base Station 'can' have a HDD attached for TM to use as a backup drive, but I don't know the logistics of that.
What router are you using to connect your HDD to the iMac?

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

'Publish to' should be set to FTP server
Site name is the name you give to your site.
Server address - the domain name of your site, e.g. fred.com
User name - this is the specific user name for FTP which they gave you.
Password - this is the password they gave you for FTP, not the password for your account.
Directory/Path - leave blank to have an index.html file at root level and the site in a folder with its name, so that entering just the domain name takes you to the site. Or if you want it within a folder, enter the folder name.
Protocol: FTP
Website URL os the address which will reach your home page: if there is nothing in the Directory/Path field it will be just the domain name.

Not those whole folders, but their contents, maybe.
If the user account now on the Mac has read rights to the user account(s) on the backups, yes. If not, you may have to do some finagling.
Try the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17. If you find an account that can open those folders, restore what you want to an alternate location (#16 in the FAQ).
If not try creating one or more accounts temporarily.

Hi Cantonvase.
I am going to asume that you have a MBP 13" Mid 2012 as you have in your profile.
First check if you computer is updateing the spotlight. Second. Make sure the Icloud acount is activated. (using your apple id and password). Once that is working, and all of these are made, repair permitions and wait be sure all programs are close. Reset the computer.
Once that is done. Go to system preferences, Select Security and Privacy. Then select privacy and see if maps is seleccted in location services. In order to change that unlock the lock and add the password fom you computer.
If that is check, we can see what we can do next. Also make sure that diagnostic & usage is selected, so all these info be send to apple for making these better.
One step at a time.
I work 2 instalacion. One clean install and 1 upgrade. The clean isntall has being perfect so far. I only find 2 errors so far and i am working on those right now.

Cannot get Membership Provider with name RoleProvider. The membership provider for this process was not properly configured. You must configure the membership provider in the .config file for every SharePoint process.

I am trying to create a web application that uses AD LDS as its authentication provider. I have followed all the steps and verified all the web.config files, but I receive the error below:
Cannot get Membership Provider with name CustomRoleProvider. The membership provider for this process was not properly configured. You must configure the membership provider in the .config file for every SharePoint process.
Has anyone come across this error before?

There seems to be some issues in your web.config files. Please make sure your Web application entries for membership and role provider(at central admin site) are matching with Web.config entries. your error
"Cannot get Membership Provider with name CustomRoleProvider.
", indicating that you may have used role provider name in Membership provider text box or in web.config.
Also please make sure that you have correct entries in all 3 web.config files - Central Administration , Security Token Service (STS), Web application .

This is the website.

IF you know the exact file name of the download, you can search for it in the spotlight.
(This icon) in the upper right corner.
If you don't know the exact file name, you may have to redownload it so you can see it.
I would also try doing a reboot after you change your desktop background to what you want.

Not sure if I had to submit my question:

There isn't an iCloud app, I'm not sure what it is that you have deleted, but it isn't iCloud.

I changed my Apple ID to a new email address. I cannot get my Iphone and Ipad to recognize the new Apple ID.

I changed my Apple ID to a new email address. Now I cannot get my Iphone and Ipad to recognize the new Apple ID ... and I cannot access the old Apple ID because it does not recognize its password any more ... and I cannot change the password ... and there seems to be no one to ask about this. Any help?

I tried but it won't let me even access the old Apple ID. It won't recoginze its old password and will not let me make a new one. (The site tells me it has sent an email to let me change the password but the email does not come.)

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

Friend,
When you set a Gmail account you just need to enter your email account and password. It is impossible you enter the right information but it says "wrong". Double check it.
If you mentioned "iPhone ID" as your Apple ID, you can find it going to Settings>> iCloud. Check if you already sign in to. If not, sign in with your Apple ID and password. If you haven't created one, you can do it there.
