How do I share my docs, pics, music from my iMac with macBook Pro?

New Apple user...finally ditched Microsoft. I have an iMac and macBook Pro. I want to share all my files between the two so any changes will reflect on both machines. I don't quite know how to get the information into iCloud. I use to use Google Drive with my pc but the account was compromised and I removed all data from it. I am concerned about having all my stuff "out there" but I'm told it's secure. I'd appreciate any advice. Regards, Tom

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

A FW cable would be far faster & Easier, but with Ethernet you need a compatible version of Migration Assistant running on both Macs.

How do I save/back-up pics & music from my eMac? Those USB thingies?

I have had my eMac for about 3 1/2 years. I still love it, but there seems to be a lot of issues that I cannot figure out and I am frustrated, so I am thinking about just getting a newer computer.
My question: How do I back-up, save the pics, music etc. that are on the computer. I guess not just because I want a new computer, but I guess it is really dumb of me not to have it back-up (or whatever the term is
I see this little USB things for sale all of the time at computer stores and at places like Target. Is that all I need or do I need an external hard drive?
I have about 2,000 songs and about 1,000 pictures.
Thanks a bunch!

To save your songs and pictures, you'll basically want to be saving them to an external hard drive or you can "burn"/save these files to DVDs/CDs, which can then later be transferred to your new computer.
The bigger the total size of the files you want to save, the bigger the requirement is for size of the backup destination for these files (external hard drive, DVD, etc.). In my opinion, a large size (40 GB and up) external hard drive is a wise investment in these days of digital media.
A small USB drive is likely to be too small for saving all the music and image files you're interested in saving.
It is simplest (and perhaps easiest) to backup your entire Home folder (Macintosh HD > Users > Home). This will also save any of your email from the "Mail" application as well as any Documents you've spent time creating.

How to share personal files from the iMac to MacBook Pro

How do I share files from the iMac so I don't have to keep on sending it to the MacBook Pro. Under the iMac's system preferences, I clicked on sharing and enabled personal file sharing. When I connect to the iMac's server using the MacBook Pro, I try to log in but it says my log in info is unknown. So I try loging in as a guest but when I click on the drop box, it says that I don't have the privilegde to view it. Is there another easier way of file sharing between the computers I have at home?

When you log into the server computer you need to use the username and password of an account that exists on the server computer.

How do I transfer music from my ipod or macbook pro (itunes) to my ipad

How do you transfer music from my macbook pro to someone's Ipad?

This doesn't appear to be an option anymore.
I can check songs but there's no transfer button -
Syncing doesn't transfer songs in that direction -
You can add to a playlist but the song still isn't there.

How do I transfer music from my ipod or macbook pro to my ipad

Once again, how do I transfer my music from my ipod or itunes library to my ipad?

You have 2 separate questions.
One is getting stuff from iTunes to your iPad. The other is getting stuff from the iPod to anything else.
By default, you can't transfer anything from iDevices to iTunes. There are several third party programs, however, that allow you to do this.
Getting stuff from iTunes to the iPad is a case of plugging in the iDevice and dragging-dropping the files you want to your device. Or syncing the relevant stuff. There is plenty of literature on this available in iTunes or on the Apple site.
Hope that answers your question.

How to sync music from iPhone to new MacBook pro

Hi everyone I just got my first Mac computer so please excuse my ignorance. I have an iPhone that has a ton of music on it most of it from the iTunes Store but some songs are from CD's from people. I am a dance teacher so a good chunk of my music is not bought from iTunes. I need to sync the music from my iPhone to iTunes on my computer. Can someone please give me step by step directions on how to do this so I won't lose all the music that was not from iTunes. I also do not want the sync to erase the music from my iPhone because I need it for the gym. Thanks so much the help is so appreciated!

Any music you purchased from iTunes can be transferred, the rest will have to be imported to the MBP from the prior source. Examine this discussion:

Synch music from iPod to new MacBook Pro .. can't find my music in iTunes

Hello, this is Bryan ....
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro because my old MacBook was 7 years old. All of my data was saved on external hard drive (time machine) files and apps transferred fine. ... one thing which did transfer to my new computer is my music... Perhaps I don't know how to access iTunes properly ?
I have an iPod which I use with my stereo all the time ... it has never been synched to the New MacBook Pro.
The iPod has 4,530 songs and some playlists ... I don't want to lose this data.
Can someone help me ???
