Connecting Mac pro and iPad - same account different addresses
I have been reading the posts here and am a little confused about FaceTime setup.
I have an iPad with FT preinstalled. My Mac pro at home should be able to handle FT as should my MacBook pro. I understand that I can buy FT from the app store and it will work on all machines with my mac.com account.
Where the confusion comes in is people outside my account. If I am away from home with my iPad and/or laptop, will I be able to FT with someone at home? Since the home computer is registered to my Mac.com account along with my iPad, I know I cant connect to the home machine using the same account/email.
Can my wife or kids use FaceTime on my home computer with their own accounts to send or receive facetime calls from me when I am traveling? If I set up a separate user account for them on my machine will they have to buy their own copy of FT to access it (since activation seems to be tied to a .mac account) If they use their email while logged into my account, can I change the ft address on that computer back to mine when I get home?
this new app store activation process has me confused already, and the additional address need for FaceTime complicates the process even further. Any clarification on how this works and the possible limitations would be appreciated.
Just to be clear. There is no FireWire connection for the iPad.
To connect the iPad to your Mac use the cable that came with the iPad. Plug one end into the iPad and the other into your Mac.
Now, keep in mind that the iPad requires USB 2.0 on your Mac.
Also to transfer files you need iTunes 10.7 or 11.0.2 which is the latest.
iTunes 10.7 or 11.0.2 on your Mac requires OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later.
Make sure your Mac meets the system and iTunes requirements before proceeding.
So start iTunes on your Mac. If it is iTunes 11.0.2 use the View menu in iTunes to view Sidebar.
Then connect the iPad.
You will not see the iPad listed like a hard drive on your Mac. It will show up in the Sidebar of iTunes.
Finally, does your daughter sync her iPad to another computer? If so use that computer to add the movie to her iPad. Connecting her iPad through iTunes to your computer and syncing to add the Movie will cause all photos, music, etc. that were synced from your daughters computer to be deleted.

My 5yr old iMac will not connect to the Internet. All other computers at home will, including my Mac Pro and iPad. I'm at my wits end. What should I do?
Which OS are you using (update your user profile).Try a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset. -
IMessage don't send sms anymore in MacBook Pro, Mac Pro and iPad.
My MacBook Pro, Mac Pro and iPad don't send sms anymore. They say that the address isn't registered in iMessage. It has worked fine until a couple of days ago.
Hi,
Messages and particularly the iMessages account now has a range of "Known Issues"
First there were these four FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: Troubleshooting sign in issues - Apple Support
Then there was this 5th one
This is obviously before the Account seems to be logged in and can only be Fixed by contact Support (you may have to bump to Level 2 people)
Then there is the issue you have. (I call it Issue 6).
The App and the Account seem to be logged in. (you can only tell if you are not if it fails)
In this case it works on iOS devices, sometimes other Macs if you have them but not on this computer.
It is related to the Apple ID and the Mac (even if you create another Mac User and set up Messages there the issue continues).
Deleting the Keychain Item (IDS: AppleID-Auth Token) seems not to help. It is not recreated until you can log in fully/properly.
On the basis that Issue 5 exists and proves you can have an issue with the ID at the Server and it will only effect one Mac then the presumption can be that this issue is very similar.
That means contacting Apple Support.
Level One responders are Script led and will try to fit you into either Software or Hardware issues.
If you cannot convince them it is an Account Issue (free to fix) then ask to speak to a Level 2 person.
You may still have issue convincing them as well but they do tend to be more flexible and it really does not take them long to look and check.

Universal power pack for Mac air, Mac pro and ipad
Have an 10 hour flight comming up Would like to purchase universal power pack for Mac air Mac pro and ipad
I do not take Intergrative Nutrition, but I have some advice for choosing your device. Your choice of device should be based upon what you will use your device for currently and in the future.
If you are just using your device to use the internet and do light activities (smal typing, etc.) then the MacBook Air is a better choice. You should note that the Air has no Superdrive(for your DVD's CD's etc.) so you will have to put out more money to get one. It can also be slow because of the Flash Memory.
If you are going to be doing more "heavy" computing (photo editing, sound editing, lots of multitasking, large file sizes etc) then I would suggest getting the MacBook Pro.
If you prefer tablets, or tablet style reading then the iPad will be better for you. You should keep in mind that ther are restrictions on the files that you can view or work with on the iPad.
Overall, I prefer the MacBook Pro because of its versatility, durability and capabilities to do multiple file types. If you have any more questions, feel free to drop by your local Apple Store or Apple Authorize Retailer. They will be happy to help you! -
Equipment owned:
17 500GB external hard drives linked to Mac pro via USB and Firewire hubs
My experience - limited
My questions:
If I buy the AirPort Exterme Base Station will the 802.11n be as fast as hard wired USB and Firewire?
Will wireless enable me to stream ripped DVD's from my external hard drives through the USB connection via Airport extreme wireless to my Mac Pro to my projector?
Many thanks
RobNot really. You can remote desktop from one computer to the other by the built-in Remote Desktop feature. You can't computer computing power

RE-CONNECTING email to my pearl (same account, different password)
Hi--
I recently changed passwords on my personal email account also connected to my blackberry. The phone automatically disconnected my email as the password was invalid. I want to re-connect but have been unable.
I click the email appliation and scroll to existing users. I don't know what Log-in is being requested? What user name is this? to my blackberry? to my email? Nothing i have tried (usual ones i use) is successful. If i don't know my username i can't get my password emailed to me...so...this seems like a circle.
I cannot click "create new account" because one exists for my PIN.
Where can i find the information i'm missing?? I am very frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciatedit should be simple. there are 2 ways you can create your BIS (BlackBerry internet service account)account, if it was initally created using computer you can log on to your service providers BIS site, link can be found here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/software/internet.jsp
once you are on the site you can log in using ur user id and and password and if you dont remember password you can use forgot password option and then once logged in you can add new pasword for you email account.
other way will be to click on email setup icon on your BB and then you can edit your email address and enter new password for your email address

Can't complete facetime connection between macbook pro and iPad
Last week I had to download the latest version of facetime from the mac app store because the beta version (0.9) had expired. After I installed it on my 15" macbook pro (last model that had the removable battery) running the latest version of Snow Leopard 10.6.x, I tried to facetime with my iPad (3rd gen). It would ring, but when I would try to accept the connection, it wouldn't make the connection. I was using the same account/user id on both the iPad and the macbook pro. I added my wife's email address to the mac and selected her address and then was able to connect and I thought my problems were solved. At this time, both the macbook pro and iPad were on the same wifi network.
Fast forward a few days and I'm overseas and trying to facetime with my wife and so I attempt to connect and it rings and she accepts the incoming connection, but then it never connects and I get a message that it failed. She tries to connect to me and the same thing happens - it rings, i touch the button to accept and it says connecting and then never connects. I was able to connect with no issues when she was using her iPhone 4S when I am in London and she is at home on the same wifi network as the macbook pro is on. I had her sign out of my apple account in facetime on the macbook pro and sign in with her apple account that is associated with a completely different email address. We tried to connect and still had the same problem - rings, hit answer, connection fails.
I can also connect with my iPhone 4 to my iPad (both on the same wifi network, data roaming turned off on the phone so I know it is wifi only)
Since I can connect to my iPhone and my wife's iPhone, I'm pretty certain that the problem isn't with the wifi network on either end and it has something to do with facetime on the macbook pro. When I was googling for answers, it seems like this issue isn't an uncommon occurence, but I haven't been able to find any solutions either.No.
they run entirely different os on entirely different hardware. -
I'm buying desktops for a start up company and was wondering if I could purchase a single Mac Pro and run multiple monitors to allow multiple users to work on the computer at the same time. These users would be doing different tasks but I would hope to accomplish that on a single desktop. I know that screen sharing is possible but with only one user controlling both of the screens. Thanks in advance, sorry for my apple ignorance!
A lot of companies are buying or leasing laptops to be used at the office by day, and carried home at night.
Some companies are doing "Bring your own device". Bring a device to receive email -- computer/smartphone/tablet you already have, or have an allowance to buy one for your use.
If Capital is short (and when is it not) leasing computers, to be turned in a few years, can be a huge savings because the cost is expensed as incurred. The alternative is laying out cash today, but not being able to expense the cost this year. Instead, the computer expense must be recovered over their useful life (often five years) through depreciation. -
