How do I set up file sharing between my MacBook Air and IPad?

I'd like to store the files on the MBA and view / edit /use them my iPad and iPhone.

You can set up "iCloud" on all of them and select there to sync your Documents.  You must be running Mountain Lion on the MBA and iOS 6 on the iPhone and iPad in order to use iCloud:

  • How do I set up file sharing to keep my Quicken and Aperture files accessible and in synch across my network?

    I have a gigabyte ethernet network connecting my home and workshop.  I have an iMac (mid-2009 and late-2012) at each location running Mountain Lion and Windows 7 Home Premium under Parallels 8.  I want to be able to access my Quicken (for Windows), Office (for Mac) and photo (Aperture and iPhoto for Mac) files from either location and keep the files in synch.  How do I set up File Sharing to accomplish this and what process should I use when updating and saving changes?

    Use SugarSync.

  • How do I set up file sharing between iMAC and MacBook Pro?

    I am unable to use "file sharing".  When trying to connect as a "registered user" it asks for my server password.  What is that?  I have tried every password I think it could be.  I also can not connect as "using an Apple ID"

  • How can I download/update my contacts between my MacBook address and my iPhone 5?

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me on this problem?
    How can I download/update my contacts between my MacBook address and my iPhone 5? They don't sync with each other.  Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Catwang!
    You can use iTunes to sync the two devices. See the KB article, iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer and iTunes for Mac: sync contacts, calendar and other info.
    If you want to use iCloud, your MacBook  needs to use at least OS 10.7.4 or later. See Set up iCloud on all your Devices.

  • I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

    I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

    It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
    If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
    If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

  • I would like to sync Notes between my MacBook Air and the IPhone and/or IPad.  I used to tick a box in Itunes (info), but for some reason it is no longer there.  How do I go about doing the sync?

    The only way to sync Notes is through a mail server. If you don't want to use iCloud, you'll have to use some other mail account, or run your own mail server under OS X Server. The latter is a job for advanced users only.

  • ICal - I want my iMac, MacBook Air, and iPad to all "talk" and share iCal entries.  How can I get this to happen?

    I am hesitant to run the Migration Assistant for this reason.  I just want to enter an appointment on my desktop iMac and for it to show up in iCal on both my MacBook Air and iPad as well.  Is this possible?
    Thanks,

    Once you configure iCloud preferences on your MBA it should automatically fetch your info from the cloud. Be sure that you set up your iCal account on the MBA.

  • I lost the connection between my MacBook Air and Bluetooth wireless speakers (Logitech) when updating to OS 10.7.4. Tried all the "fixes" I could find, no results!

    I lost the connection between my MacBook Air and Bluetooth wireless speakers (Logitech) when updating to OS 10.7.4. Tried all the "fixes" I could find, no results! Can you help?

    Error message as above and below:
    'Send Message Error
    The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server mail.btinternet.com failed.
    The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections.' (etc.)
    BT won't deal with this - they redirect me to a 'partner' who want to charge to discuss the problem. Nice, eh!

  • How do I set up file sharing in Lion Server to work like file sharing in Lion Client?

    I've just installed Lion Server on my home iMac to enable remote access via VPN to my home network.
    When the iMac was running Lion Client (before the upgrade to server), and when File Sharing was enabled on the iMac; when other Macs on the LAN connected to the iMac via AFP, they were always able to connect to (share) any mounted external volumes (external USB or FireWire drives connected to the iMac). e.g.
    Now that I've upgraded to Lion Server, when other Macs on the LAN connected to the iMac via AFP they are only able to connect to (share) the sharepoints listed in the File Sharing pane of Server.app. e.g.
    Is there any way to set up File Sharing in Lion Server so that it works the same way as it does in Lion Client with respect to mounted external volumes? i.e. they are automatically shared? I know I can add each volume manually to File Sharing in Server.app but this gets tedious.
    Many thanks!

    I normally have a Firewall enabled. I recently had to do an erase and install of Lion, followed by a one-by-one re-install of all of my software. One of the first things I did was to set up all of my System Preferences the way I like them; Turning the Firewall on was one of them. Later I noticed it was off and turned it on again. I had already set up sharing and was surprised to see the problem when I turned it back on.
    As to why do I think it needs to be on. It is another part of my security layer.

  • Wireless file sharing between two MacBooks

    I feel like this is kind of a silly question, but here goes:
    Is it possible to set up wireless file sharing between two macs when there is no wireless network available.
    For example, if I am on a plane (with no wi-fi) and wan to wirelessely connect to my partners macbook to browse his hard drive, can I do it? Right now, I use a firewire cable when flying, but would love to not have to.
    Thanks for the help.

    Yes, it's possible to do.
    You setup one of the Macs to act as a base station of sorts. If you've got the AirPort Status menu shown you can just use the 'Create Network…' option in that menu to create a new wireless network hosted on this Mac. Just tell the other Mac to connect to that network using the name and security credentials you specified when you created the network, and you're done.

  • Debating between 13" Macbook Air and 13" Macbook Pro

    Primarilly will be using it with Adobe CS6 (AI, PS and ID). Nothing too intensive and I would be planning on upgrading to the 8gb ram. I know on the older Macbook Air there were problems running OpenGl 2.0. I could care less about the lack of optical drive on the Macbook Air. I guess what I would like to know is... is anyone here running Cs6 on the new Macbook Air and how are they finding it? Would it be a better option to go with the Macbook Pro?
    Thanks!

    The "graphics team" that I support for my department have two 13" MacBook Airs (Mid 2011) and they're very pleased with them, both users run CS6 on them. I know one of them will even run their machine on a 27" monitor at 1920x1200 and I've never heard a peep out of them in regards to sluggishness. I suspect the newer machines with 8GB of RAM, a faster SSD and RAM as well as an improved GPU would be even better.
    One thing you can also consider doing is trying out Adobe CS6 on the new machines at an Apple Store. I frequently bring external HDs with me to the Apple Store to try programs before I'll make a petition to purchasing for upgraded units. As long as the program can run self-contained on an external drive you should be just fine. I did with with CS5 about 8 months ago.
    Lastly, outside of the CPU difference, the MacBook Air has very mostly the same "under the hood" specs. The difference in CPU would be offset by the improved performance of the SSD over the standard HD, at least that's what I've noticed from my own experiences and the feedback of my users.

  • Setting up file sharing between two Macs

    Just bought a new MBP. My wife will use the old MBP. Both running 10.9.4
    Hers shows under ‘Shared’ in my Finder & mine in hers.
    On clicking ‘Connect As’ from either laptop we are asked for a password.
    I must be overlooking something basic, but for the life of me cannot work out how to set the password.
    I have been into System Preferences/Sharing preferences & tried to add her as a user  & vice versa. I can add each of us to the other’s list of users, but when either of us tries to connect & are prompted to enter a password, the password is rejected. Like wise if I go into File sharing ‘Options’, & find the user name in the account list (only he & me) on hers I am unticked & on mine she is unticked.
    When I tick either box I am prompted again to enter a password (for SMB). Again on entering the password it is rejected.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    MrHoffman, by ‘log directly’ do you mean can I sit at my wife’s (or my) mac, type in the login passwords at the login screens & gain access? If so the answer is yes.
    These are the same passwords I have been trying to use to log in to file sharing from the connect as box in Finder.  Same result both ways. Password rejected/password input box shakes.
    Yep.  That was the test.
    Launch Console.app from Applications > Utilities on the target Mac, and then see if there are any messages logged when the incoming Finder connection to that target Mac fails.  (Please don't post more than a dozen or two lines and definitely please don't dump hundreds of lines of console output here.  Remove repeating blocks, and — if you do post that data here — please check for any confidential or sensitive information before posting it.)
    Also, if there are any add-on "anti-malware" or "anti-virus" tools, or I/O "enhancement" tools, or tools that claim to "optimize", "protect", "clean" or "tweak" your Mac, please remove all of those.   Use the tool-specific procedures to remove those.  If you're not sure, download and run and post the output from Etrecheck, and we'll have a look at the software configuration.  (Etrecheck also tries not to display anything sensitive, but do review that output before posting it here.)
