How can I have 2 iMacs in different locations communicate?

I have 2 iMacs located 100  miles from each other. Both are connected to internet by highspeed cable. Is there any way I can get something from the hard drive of the other, communicate between the two? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hey Leslie,
It sounds like you are a little amateur at computers, so I would recommend using LogMeIn Ignition, which is a free service that let's your access all your computers from your mobile 3G device, or even your other iMac. If you only want to move certain files over to the other computer with ease, you can currently use iDisk, and later use iCloud when Apple releases that later this fall. Advanced users can use web servers to access disks via FTP or STP.

  • How can 2 people working on different locations collaborate on imovie?

    Hi,
    My cousin and I were trying to work on a movie for my Grandma's b'day. It is basically a bunch of pictures with music. We are located in different countries. I was hoping she could work on the project and then send the project file to me (before sharing to quicktime or anything like that). When she wanted to attach it to an email, the mac would not let her do it.
    Is there an easy way two people can work on the same imovie project without sending it back and forth? Or if she has to send it, what format is best?
    Thanks in advance!

    iMHD6 puts all data of a project into a single file.. but, 1h project in Standard = ~13GBs data.. (HiDef projects much more..).
    you can not 'mail' such large files, due to limitations most ISPs set to attachments ..
    services as yousharetit.com or rapidshare.com probably allow it .. but the UPload of such files takes hours, if not days ..
    Plan A)
    use 'snail mail', send a usb-mem-stick (16GB = ~40€) or a small 2.5" harddrive with data ..
    note: BEFORE usage of stick, erase/format it to 'mac' ...
    Plan B)
    you edit your own, let your cousin send you by mail the pics and music only ..

  • How can I share between 2 different accounts.  we have a clinic that serves pediatics and unfortunately, they set up two different accounts within our agency.

    How can we share between two different accounts on the same iPad?  We have a therapy clinic with 2 devices and want to share apps. I did not set up the second one, but how can we fix this ?

         Hi Rosdy, to get the most out of iCloud it is recommended that you use the same account between devices. Thus whenever you buy something on your phone it becomes accessible from your laptop regardless of whether your synced it over usb or not. *
         For more information on iCloud usage please click here.
    * This feature requires that both devices be on the same WiFi network.

  • How can I have two different windows up on one screen at the same time?

    How can I have to different windows open on my screen at one time? Kind of like a split or shared screen.

    If you want this split screen thingy for a single app, do like captfred suggests or see if the app itself supports some sort of splitting, like MS Excel.
    If you want to do this system-wide, maybe you can get what you want by activating and using Spaces: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4313

  • How can i have a bookmark in two different files?

    How can i have a bookmark in two different files?

    You need to make a copy of the bookmark to have it appears more than once.
    If you click the star then you modify (edit) the existing copy of the bookmark.
    You can also drag the tab or globe/padlock to a bookmarks folder or the Bookmarks Toolbar to create a copy.

  • I have OSX Maverick on an iMac using Outlook e-mail.  PDF attachments are included in the e-mail  as the whole document rather than just the PDF icon.  How can i have just the PDF icon as an attachment?

    In Outlook my PDF attachments appear as whole documents and not just the PDF icon.  How can I have attachments included as PDF icons and not the documents?

    For your own viewing, you can of course control-click on the attachment and select "View as Icon".
    For others' viewing, it depends upon their email reader.  To ensure that attachments are not displayed expicitly you can put them all in a zip file (via control click and "Compress") then attaching them, or you can use third party stuff like Attachment Tamer.

  • How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)?

    How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)? Currently each of us has our own iTunes account, so I've made an "all office" Apple ID. However, I can't seem to get two different accounts (my personal and the office) to work on my machine. Even when I login as "the office", my personal library is still showing. Additionally, when I try to setup with a first-time use in iTunes, I get an error that I don't meet the minimum age requirement - no matter what birthdate I enter!

    The library exists regardless of which user is logged in.
    The only way around that is to create different user accounts on the computer.
    There is no way to have 20 unique iTunes users access a shared iTunes under a single login on the computer.

    How can I change a app store location? I'm in US trying to dowload an app and it says my account is not valid in the Australian store. I have nothing to do with Australia.

    Go to the iTunes Store. Scroll down to the very bottom and click the flag that is on the bottom right. Then you can select what store you want.

  • How can I recombine songs from different artists on 1 album to show as 1 album on itunes?

    How can I have all of the songs on 1 album listed together?  I have several CDs on which multiple artists participated.  On the iPhone & in iTunes it lists the same album several times, each with different combinations of artists.  It is 1 album!
    For example, I just uploaded the CD "Super Session".  On my iPhone music library it has 5 lsitings.

    On Windows:
    Ctrl + click on the songs you want to group - then right click and click get info and it will ask you if you want to get info for multiple items click YES then under album name it whatever you want and them songs will be grouped into 1 album.
    Mac:
    Same procedure but hit SHIFT instead of CTRL.
    Actually, it's right click or ctrl click, same as windows.

  • How can I have one "family" Apple ID and two icloud accounts one for me and one for the wife?

    MacVirgin!Just got new Air and iMac (iphones on the way). How can I have one Apple ID but two iCloud accounts (one for me and one for my wife)? I have set up one iCloud account and am attempting to share contacts between iMac, iCloud and Air, however iMac and iCloud are not in sync? I must be missing something very simple.

    ok. I set up the imac and Air with one user account. this was used to activae iCloud on both machines and I have now se up one iCloud account and managed to share calander and contacts between the two. Ultimately both me and my wife will have an iphone and we wish to share calenders and contacts. We both also use the imac and air on one user account. It looks like I need to set another user account then activate iCloud in my wifes Apple ID

  • How can I have 2 devices on one iTunes?

    How can i have 2 devices on one iTunes so that they share the same music but have different apps? Is there a way to do that?

    Each can sync with the same playlists, or different ones, and can have different apps...
    Uncheck the Automatically sync new apps box on the Apps tab after connecting each device and before syncing. Once this box has been unchecked each device should remember the setting and only sync the apps that have already been selected for it, plus any you then decide to manually add to the list or purchase on each respective device.
