How can I have Facetime callers distinguish between my Ipad and my MacBook Pro?

I'm wondering how does one set things up so that a Facetime caller can distinguish between calling me on my iPad versus calling me on my MacBook Pro? I have family calling me and it is popping up on the MacBook when, ideally, the call would come through to my Ipad when I'm traveling?

Hello Mac_ThePI,
In FaceTime's preferences, you can choose what Apple IDs and/or phone numbers you can be reached at. You might choose to make the phone number or certain Apple IDs the only checked option(s) on your iPad, and others on your Mac.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

    How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

    I don't know much about iPhones but when you write "memory" do you mean the data on your hard drive on your MacBook Pro? If so, simply drag the items you deem as useless into the Trash and empty the Trash. DON'T fool around with any of the system items, just your own documents that you feel that you no longer need.
    You can get an answer on freeing up space on your iPhone in the iPhone forum.

    whats a faster internet connection joining one or create one.i have one ps3 one imac 2 ipads and one macbook pro?

    For the AirPort Extreme Base Station to provide Internet access to network clients, it would need to be configured for: 1) Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address, and 2) Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network.
    Although the option: Wireless Mode = Join a wireless network, exists for the Extreme, it really serves no purpose and should not be used.

  • How can I have an object toggle between fade out and fade in with button?

    Hello all,
    I have a problem and I was hoping someone out there could help me out with it.
    I have smart shape that is set to show for "rest of project" on one of my early slides.  It is not visible in output in the properties, but when a user clicks a button in the project, it should fade in and then stay visible.  If the user clicks the same button again, it should fade out and stay hidden.  So rather than toggle between show and hide, which I know how to do, I want it to toggle between fade in and fade out.  I am having trouble with this.  Setting its transition to fade in and fade out in the properties of the smart shape doesn't help...
    Here is the advanced action I have attached to the button that should allow the user to toggle between fade in and fade out.  The "if" parts works -- the object fades in and then finally "shows" at 100% the "else" part almost works.  It fades out, disappears, but then shows again, which I obviously dont want it to do.  I want it to stay hidden.
    If you can help, it would be great!! 

    I Don't
    But as a work around you could try increasing the canvas size to match the illustrator file, paste in the object then crop off the excess canvas in photoshop

  • HT2515 how can I have iChat? I cannot find iChat in my MacBook Pro

    I cannot find the iChat in my Mac

    Hi,
    If you are still on Lion did you install the Messages Beta ?
    If you have updated to Mountain Lion (and not updated your specs here) then you will have Messages.
    Messages replaces iChat and does everything iChat did plus has the iMessages account that uses an Apple ID to have conversations with iPhones and iPads (as well as Messages and iChat apps on other computers)

  • How do I eliminate duplicate iCal events between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

    I'm not sure why duplicate events are appearing on my iPhone. Any suggestions as to how to stop this from happening as well as how to delete one of the duplicates? (I am not always able to delete the event when I "edit" it on the iPhone.)

    Can not find out.  Candy crush has been successful, now they are trying to rip us off, while blaming Apple.

  • How can I have the pricing conditions at the item and header level of the d

    How can I have the pricing conditions at the item and header level of the delivery? There exist "condition" tabs both the header and the item level of the delivery but the contents of the tabs are empty. I'll be happy if you can help me. Thanks in advance....

    Hi
    If you want to have the pricing procedure at delivery level then you need to assign a pricing procedure at delivery level also
    Just go through the path to maintain the pricing procedure at delivery level.
    IMG -> Logistics execution -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Procedure. for Delivery.
    But can you be more clear if the above one is not your query ?

    You can get a Dropbox account, this will allow for 2GB of free storage and you can purchase additional storage if needed. You can find out about Dropbox from their website or read one of the many reviews about them. Their address is:
    www.dropbox.com
    and some reviews are at:
    http://www.onlinebackupsreview.com/dropbox.php

    And you can Google to find additional reviews if you would like.

  • How can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3

    Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.

    Sean and Andy -
    I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
    So here's what does NOT work for me... 
         (A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
         (B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
         (C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
         (D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
         (E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
         (E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'--  routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
         (E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
         (E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID! 
    So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ???  As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
    Any advice would be appreciated!  TIA.

  • How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?

    How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

    I just bought splashtop, you have to have your home computer online,and download the pc version.  I have used it ot watch movies and to "go to work" on my ipad.  It controls the desktop through the ipad.  Whiteboard by splashtop does that and more and is on sale.  The education director at the hospital I work at is using that one.
    Splashtop 4.99 remote desktop(or laptop) control. Whiteboard 9.99 is remote control and more 9.99

    you'll need to import them
    try using iPhoto, if you don't have iPhoto then you can use image capture. If you can't find image capture type it into the finder.
