How can I combine by document on my mac and macbook

Hi,
I have recently bought a macbook and I already have a desktop mac. How can I combine my document on both so that I can share stuff
THanks

Your Macs have to be "connected" in some way. Wifi is ok but slow, an ethernet cable is faster.
Once the cable is in place, go to each Mac and enable file sharing. like this:
Go to Apple Menu / System Preferences / Sharing / and check File Sharing. Do this on both Macs.
Next, on either Mac, type Command + k (both keys together). In the new window, click on Browse. (Only have to do this on one Mac.)
Select the other Mac, click on Connect As.
You can mount the hard drive of one Mac on the desktop of the other. Then you can drag and drop files from one to the other.
Hope this answers your question.

If you already have a PDF document, ExportPDF can help you with this task. https://www.acrobat.com/exportpdf/en/convert-pdf-to-word.html
On the other hand, if you have a physical document, you'll need to scan it into a PDF document first.
Depending on what you need to do you may require different tools & services, so please help us out with more details.

How can I delete EVERY THING off my Mac and have it like new?

There are sites that I've viewed and programs I have downloaded that I NEED to delete completely from my computer!! Ie: Friends telling me that a program is free and has no viruses, but it does! Sites forwarded that are supposed sfw, but are not!!
I would like to DELETE EVERY THING off the computer and have it be like new.
I remember on my Dell PC if I hit f8 or f11 (can't remember which one) a screen would appear and if I chose option "Dell Factory Image Restore" it would DELETE EVERY THING off of the computer and have it like new - as if you just got it from Dell.
Is there anything like that for Macs?
Whether it be some where on the computer already?
Or if it's with the CDs that came with the Mac?

How can I access iCloud documents from my iPad and work on them on my iPad

How can I access and work on documents in the cloud on my iPad, not a computer

Thank you, I really appreciate your time, but I think I am after something the iPad won't do. I don't want to use a computer at all. I would like to open an iCloud doc using my iPad, work on it (on the iPad), then print or save it back into pages or the iCloud.
From your responses, it sounds like you have to use an iPad in conjunction with a computer, of some description, to work on documents in the cloud, the iPad alone will not let you do this.
So I guess the short answer is, I can't.
Thanks for your time and input.

How can I save text messages to my Mac and will that reduce "Other" in storage?

I have hundreds (or more) of text messages on my iPhone 5 that for personal reasons, I want to save. There are far too many to do screenshots. I want to save them to my MacBook Pro Retina in a readable and printable format. The reason is that I read that text messages can cause the "Other" storage to be higher. My "Other" is over 6 GB on a 16 GB iphone. Therefore I want to save texts, print them, and delete from phone.
First question: Is it true that text messages contribute to the size of "Other"?
Second question: How can I save texts to Mac in readable format so they could be printed?
Third question: How in the world do I delete all these texts from my iPhone efficiently? Is there a way to "mass delete"?
When you are answering this, perhaps it is noteworthy that:
(a) I've had an iPhone since a 3G in 2009, and the texts I want to save have been accumulating since then.
(b) My "Other" has gradually gotten larger over the years.
(c) I sync with itunes regularly.
(d) I've never had any problems with an iphone or with my data.
(e) I've restored from backup only three times, when I upgraded to the iphone 4, 4S, and 5.
I want to get this "Other" cleared up before I upgrade to the iphone 5S.
Thank you.

You can select to export a folder to save as a .mbox file. This file would need to be imported if you wanted to view the messages.
Select mailbox (folder)
Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select Export Mailbox...
You might also want to check out the demo for EagleFiler by the author for SpamSieve. You could view and search the messages archived in EagleFiler.

Regarding Mail being slow....
Is it only Mail that is slow? How much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility to find available space.

How can I connect my ipad to my mac and use it as a signature pad?

The company I work for want utilize the ipads we have and use them as signature pads for clients to sign off on authorization forms. Is this possible and How can I got about doing this?

It has nothing to do with the device. The way Wi-Fi works, an end device can only be associated with a single access point at a time. And the iPad will attempt to latch on to the strongest signal it gets, in case there are several usable access points at any given moment.

Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
tell application "Finder" to quit
if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
else

If you change your mind later, run the script again.

How can I play a dvd on my Mac and display it through Apple TV

I want to use my DVD drive on my mac to play back movies through my apple tv2. I notice that on my iPad, iPhone, iTunes on my computer all have the AirPlay option to display the video on my TV through Apple TV. I do not want to burn my DVD onto my Mac and play through iTunes becasue its a hassle.

One thing you can do is to play the DVD in your Mac using DVD Player instead of iTunes, and then, turn on AirPlay Mirroring to stream your computer's display to your Apple TV > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, use a third-party app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com This is the only option, because the Apple TV isn't compatible with discs
Logical but it won't work - DVD player output will be a grey checkerboard pattern.
Apple apps prevent Airplay of DVD content at low level presumably for some copy protection reason.
VLC player is believed to work.

When I import a commercial CD itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the other album by it self. How can I combine them all into one album and why is itunes doing this?

When I import a commerical CD Itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the second album that it created. Why is itunes doing this and what can I do to combine them into one album?

I found this to be somewhat helpful: Grouping Tracks into Albums
What I did was to put in the same name for Album Artist in every track. That seemed to do the trick (previously all those fields were empty). It seems like a lot of work for a simple thing.
iTunes knows (or should know) that these tracks were imported from one CD. So why is it relying on incomplete data from the gracenote database?

How can I compress my movie dvds on mac and load to ipad 2?

Help? Newbie iPad2 owner and trying to figure out how to get my DVD movies compressed (on my 2009 Mac desktop) to load onto my ipad2. Curious to know not only which programs I need or what to do, but also step by step (I'm sooo confused)
thank you!!

You'll need to get an application that makes your dvd's into avi files. Google that.
Once you have AVI files then get the app for VLC on ipad. It'll come up as an app that can handle storage in itunes. Then import your avi's and you'll now have your video on your ipad.

How can I annotate a PDF on a Mac, and search by the annotations in Dropbox on iOS?

So, I have a handwritten journal, and I scanned it. Now it's a 45 page PDF. I want to annotate the PDF on my Mac (or my iPad), dump the file in Dropbox, and then be able to search by the annotations via an iOS device. So if I annotate a page as "Meeting with Nick - October 10, 2013", I want to be able to search (within Dropbox on an iOS device) and find that page later. I want to be able to search for "Nick" and it will bring up that page, and any other page where I annotated with the word Nick.
Whew. Make sense? I'm hoping to avoid Adobe Acrobat Pro, if possible. Annotations that I make in Preview don't seem to show up when I view the PDF in Dropbox. Got any suggestions?
Thanks!

I use Adobe Reader XI for that. Not sure you can search for annotations, but worth a try. Free.
I've done some tests with Adobe reader, but I don't see it working. I can make annotations in Reader (or in Acrobat or in Preview) but when I save the new file, and try to view it using a program like Dropbox, the annotations are not displayed, nor are they searchable..

How can i use external hard drive with mac and pc!

I've been using a Lacie external hard drive with my mac to keep the itunes library and other things since day one. Since i have a dvd with files for windows and an old pc without a dvd drive, i decided to copy and paste the content of the dvd to the external hard drive. The only problem now is that when i plug the external hard drive to pc, it won't open. I know it has to be formatted in a different way, but i need to find out the best solution!
Any idea?

You can format the external drive in Fat32 (which I don't recommend but is the most compatible between both platforms), or NTFS (which requires some work to get your Mac to recognize), or HFS+ (which requires special software on your PC so your PC can use it).
If you use this drive mostly with your Mac, get MacDrive for your PC:

If you use this drive mostly with your PC, here's some software for you Mac. I haven't tried this myself, but the professional reviews have been good:
