How can I synch Mail application between an iMac and a Macbook Pro

I want to be able to go back and forth between my iMac and my Macbook Pro using Mail application.
I don't want to set up two completely separate accounts.
Has anyone had to do this and if so, how do I do it?
Thanks for your help

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:

  • Syncing OS X between an iMac and a Macbook Pro

    Hi all. Is there any way to seamlessly sync an OS X installation across an iMac and a Macbook Pro, i.e. application installations, application preferences, data, etc?
    If you need more background info: My 15" 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM Unibody Macbook Pro is beach-balling a lot at the moment, and it looks like I need to face up to the fact that I'm going to need more power to keep up with my workflow. I'm tempted by a 27" iMac, but I'm pretty hooked on the Macbook Pro portability in combination with a Cinema Display. It's vital that I can easily grab my laptop from the desk and that when I open it on a train or hot desking that my workflow won't be interrupted by not having the same apps, browser bookmarks, etc. Is there any way to keep things sync'd, or am I better off upgrading my Macbook Pro to 8gb RAM and an SSD?

    There isn't one tool that syncs the computers however there are numerous solutions to doing some syncing. I don't believe there is a sync tool for applications though, however you can sync quite a bit. What I use are two solutions, I use Drop Box for files I want synced. This is really simple you simply store the files in your Drop Box folder and it will sync between the devices you have specified. You can get 2GB of storage for free and pay for additional storage.
    Next I use SyncTogether to sync:
    Bookmarks
    Calendars
    Contacts
    Dashboard Widgets
    Entourage Notes
    Mail Accounts
    Mail settings
    Notes
    Preferences
    You can find both solutions using Google.

  • Different wi-fi speed connection between my iMac and my Macbook Pro (both placed side by side)

    I have purchased my iMac and my macbook pro at the same time and now I am facing something which I consider weird. The wi-fi connection speed in my iMac is fine but the wi-fi speed connection on my macbook pro is awful. It works as fine as the iMac if I connect it to a ethernet cable. I have put my macbook pro side by side with my iMac to try it and for my surprise, my macbook pro wi-fi speed connection was still lousy whilst the wi-fi speed connection from my iMac was nice... Does anyone face the same issue?

    Non Apple router? Try restarting the router.
    If you are using an Apple AirPort base station, try a different channel on the MacBook Pro.
    Open AirPort Utility located in Applications > Utilities
    Click on the base station icon then click Edit the select the Wireless tab then click Wireless Options.
    Cick the first Channel pop up menu, select Automatic
    Click the second Channel pop up menu, select Automatic
    Cick Save.
    Give AirPort a minute to reset.
    If automatic does not help, try a numbered channel from the pop up menu.

  • Best connection between new iMac and firewire MacBook Pro

    Hi I'm running a MBP with Firewire, USB (2?) and Ethernet ports. I am soon to take delivery of my shiny new iMac with Thunderbolt, USB 3 and Ethernet ports. What please would be the fastest connection I can establish between the two machines? Thanks, M

    Ethernet is your fastest choice - FW800, to be precise.
    To transfer from the MBP to the iMac use Target Disk Mode. Boot the MBP into TDM, boot the iMac normally and preferably for the first time. This will put you into the Setup Assistant and let you migrate data from the MBP - Home folder, third-party applications with support files, and system preferences.
    If you prefer not to do a migration then you can also simply transfer selected items using drag and drop.
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate.  Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
      1. Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
      2. Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
      3. All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
      4. Contextual Menu Items
      5. Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
      6. Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius  work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard.  The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.  Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
      1. Intel In Macs
      2. Apple Guide to Universal Applications
      3. MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
      4. MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications
      5. MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software
      6. Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
      7. OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.  The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode.  It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
      1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
      2. Backup your data.  This is vitally important in case you make a mistake
          or there's some other problem.
      3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
      4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
      5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and
           registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your
           desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
      a. MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch,
          Late 2008) - What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
      b. MacBook Air - Migration Tips and Tricks;
      c. MacBook Air - Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and
          wireless 802.11n networks.
    Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
    Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the  Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

  • Between a imac and a macbook pro

    Finally someone sent me to the right forum, and I'm happy to be here. I'm strongly leading toward the imac at $1799 rather than the macbook pro at $1999. I'm hoping to get help from someone or someones on how well the imac can handle Logic studio. I realize this is not a logic studio forum but I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've got in my head that the imac though $200 less would be a much better value than the macbook as with those you pay a lot for portability. I've asked this question or one like it in many forums and I guess I'm just trying to get that push to finally get the imac. I hear it's performance is better and I just want to be able to work flawlessly with the Logic. Any help on this topic or ideas for maybe saving for a macpro, who knows. I'm really just trying to hear from some imac users and there experiences with them. Thanks very much

    Hello Seattlecal (from 12 miles south):
    would be a much better value than the macbook as with those you pay a lot for portability.
    You are absolutely correct that you pay for portability. If you do not need it, a desktop (iMac) is the way to go.
    I know nothing about Logic studio, so I cannot comment there. Take a look at the specifications for the MacPro and the iMac. I think you will probably come to the conclusion that you get more horsepower - dollar for dollar - in an iMac.

  • How do I use an iPhone with an iMac and a MacBook Pro?

    I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4S. I will be travelling and would like to sync my iPhone with the iMac or MacBook, depending on where I am.  I am on the cloud and manage my music manually. I'd like to be able to sync and download app updates via iTunes. Currently I sync via the iMac, will I lose my music if I attempt to sync the iPhone with the MacBook?
    Thanks (and, yes, I know there is an obvious answer somewhere but I can't find it)
    Kron Dos

    I was afraid of that. That's why I posted the question before trying to sync and losing everything. Too bad as I just bought a MacBook Pro and would really like to have mirrored devices across the board. Either Appke's technology isn't up to it or they have some obscure secrecy reason to prevent it.

  • How can I stop unidentified communication between my iMac and internet?

    Two days ago, I replaced the hard drive on my 17" Intel iMac Model A1208 EMC 2114, reinstalled 10.6, and performed all the updates indicated by Software Update to bring my installation up to Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549). This includes Java for Mac OS X10.6 Update 17. I do not have a security suite installed because the Symantec Enpoint Protection I was using was provided by my university because I recently graduated and attempts to update got me "license expired" notices. It took me about a day to realize the Firewall was not on. Yesterday, I noticed this traffic (revealed with Terminal command: sudo lsof |grep TCP | grep ESTAB)
    java       484           root   30u     IPv6 0x08d7bbb0       0t0      TCP [::192.168.1.2]:49501->[::204.17.140.11]:http (ESTABLISHED)
    I used Network Utility Whois to find that 192.168.1.2 is...
    192.168.1.2
    192.168.1.2.TPGI.COM.AU
    192.168.1.254.OPTIMUSENLINEA.COM.RCOM-DNS.EU
    NS3.HOSTSAVE.COM.IMPERIALPARTSANDCARS.COM.NS-NOT-IN-SERVICE.COM
    NS2.HOSTSAVE.COM.IMPERIALPARTSANDCARS.COM.NS-NOT-IN-SERVICE.COM
    This traffic is using up my bandwidth.
    Can anyone tell me what this traffic might be?
    Please tell me how to terminate this traffic by some other means than turning off my computer.
    I hope my machine has not become a spambot.

    Ok, thanks. I ended up reinstalling the system anyway to remedy some other things, and the very first thing I did after re-installing 10.6 was to put up the firewall and shut Java off. I imported many fewer items from my backup with Migration Assistant to to ensure a "cleaner" install. I haven't seen the same traffic again, but I suppose I might in the future. I was under the impression that Apple did infrequent "bulk" updates to Java and since I had already installed the latest update as it appeared in Software Update, I was not expecting any other kind of update, and especially not some surreptitious-looking background update from an IP I could not associate with Apple.
    Yes, Anchortown is Anchorage, Alaska (there is also Anchorage, Kentucky). We had our first measurable snowfall today (at near sea-level).

  • How can i share my iTunes between my iMac and a pc with auth going on the web

    i like to share my iTunes as home sharing with my iMac 27 inch late 2009 processor 2.8 ghz os x yosemite  10.10    
    and a Asus laptop window8 with auth using iCloud

    When you say you have a shared library... you mean you have a networked external hard drive that you are sharing?
    In iTunes, generally...when the term Shared Library is used, it's speaking to sharing a specific computer's library over the network with different computer.
    I would think it would be better to do what ya'll have been doing (one log in acct/one computer) and have her create her own Apple acct and each of you log in and out whenever purchasing music apps etc. and then setup individual playlists and pick specific playlists to sync with each individual iPhone.
    If you don't want each other to know what you're buying then...disregard what I just said

  • I can't restablish wifi connection between an C4580 and a Macbook Pro Tosemite 10.10.1

    The printer worked both with USB or WiFi till I must change my router. The setup program contained in the instalation disk broke in the final step so I'm unable to configure the wifi. 
    The set print and scan, Driver version is 5.0.4.
    What can I do?

    Hi @Xoan,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I believe the issues you're running into are because your C4580 doesn't have an HP software package for OS X 10.10, so to reconfigure the wireless, you will have to take a slightly different approach
    I'd recommend that you follow the steps in this Re: Photosmart C4780 post that I did earlier this year and those steps should help. To restore the network defaults please go to page 19 of your printer's User Guide and it will explain.
    Let me know how things go and if you're able to get things working wirelessly!
    Happy Holidays!

  • How do I transfer files between my iMac and my MacBook Pro using an ethernet cable (not with AirPort)?

    Even though I connect my computers with an ethernet cable the files are still being transferred wirelessly.  I can tell because the transfers (usually around 4GB) take a few minutes with AirPort off, but 30 minutes to an hour with AirPort on.  I want to transer the files and still have AirPort on since I work on both computers at the same time and want to maintain the connection to the internet.

    Be sure Ethernet is listed first in System Prefs > Network.
    If it isn't, click the "gear" icon and select Set Service Order.

  • How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

    How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

    Okay, I haven't found a way to add an extra space using Find/replace, but you might be able to add some text wrap to the check boxes that will push the text away from them.
    Open Find/Replace and click the Object tab.
    Click the Specify attributes to find button to the right of the Find Object Format: field.
    Under Basic Attributes, choose Stroke and then the Black swatch (assuming the black swatch is applied to the strokes of your check boxes). If there are no other stand-alone objects in your form with a Black stroke, this should be all you need. (If there are Black strokes on your table cells, they will be ignored.)
    Click OK
    Click the Specify attributes to change button to the right of the Change Object Format: field.
    Under Basic Attributes, choose Text Wrap & Other > Text Wrap > Type: > Wrap around bounding box (2nd button from left)
    Under Offset, set a Right offset at the distance you'd like to add (I don't know what units you use, but the 3-5 points might work for your purposes...might take some trial-and-error to get it where you want)
