How do I stop my text/imessages from going to my iMac? I don't mind them going to the iPad, but not my iMac.
When I receive a message on my phone, it also pops up on my iMac and iPad. I don't mind it on the iPad, but I prefer that it doesn't come through the iMac. How do I stop this?
Open Message application. Open preferences and Accounts. Sign out of iMessage or disable it.
Notification Center: Open notification center preferences and select Messages. Choose no alerts and not show in Notification Center.

cannon 8800F not working with OS X yosemite 10.10.1 . I have downloaded the latest drivers and firmware from Canon. I called Canon for support and went through all the checks , but, still my iMac did not see the scanner. Any new ideas?
Have you done any of the following?

Repaired permissions & restarted your comp after the installations of the drivers?
Sometimes, installing the GIMP drivers help with printing issues: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
any suggestions?Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

How do I send files from my IMAC via bluetooth to my new Ipad? They will not "pair" but they are connected and discoverable. I send a file from Imac snow leopard OS X 10.6 to the ipadusing bluetooth, but the failure message says the ipad does not have the necessary services. What are these? Do I neeed to have iphoto and ms word to send pix and .doc files?
File Sharing over Bluetooth is not a feature of iOS devices. iOS does not include the required Bluetooth profiles to allow this. You cannot add this feature, so you may as well stop trying.

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?
Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

My iPhone receives text messages and they go to my iPad and since I pay for each text message. I want to be able to stop this from happening, how do I do this?????
If you are sending iMessages (blue bubbles in the Messages App), and use the same Apple ID on both the iPhone and the iPad messages will get sent to both devices. Its an iMessage feature to sync messages across devices.
iMessages are not SMS, and as such do not use your text messaging allowance.
https://www.apple.com/ios/messages/
Whether you use a phone number or an email if you are registered with iMessage and the person you are messaging is also, your messages will get sent through iMessage rather than SMS. Your iPad is able to receive iMessages, and you'll have the conversation on both devices. This is a good feature to have if you start the conversation on your Phone but later decide its easier to do it on your iPad or Mac.
iMessages only work between Apple devices. -
How do I stop my text messages from appearing on my sons iPhone?
I have an iPhone 4 and my so has an iPhone 5. My other son has an iPod touch. Text messages are showing up on our devices when we weren't texting each other. I don't want to see my sons messages and vice versa. I turned off the cloud and it doesn't help.
I would guess you are probably sharing an apple ID account with your sons and it is using the imessage feature to send to all devices using that account. This article explains it, but you can shut it off from settings > messages.

Hi iPad users - I seem to have this problem with both the iPhone and iPad. I can make entries onto my computers calendar and they will sync properly on either the iPad or iPhone, but when I enter new information on the iPad or iPhone, which is usually the case, syncing does not result in transfer of updated information from my devices calendar to the computer's calendar. What am I missing here? Thanks!
Same problem as TrailJim, but 4 related problems...
Synced data did NOT xfer to Mac from iPhone (did xfer the other way). I rechecked settings and synced again. Still none of the info from iPhone went to computer.
But now I have FOUR COPIES of some calendar items, three copies of some and two copies of others in the iPhone. There are hundreds, possibly thousands of duplicates going back several years and reaching into the future. Many of these dupes were not on the Mac at all- the system duplicated items that were only on the iPhone.
It takes 15 seconds to delete each duplicate item (five 'clicks', two scrolls)- there is no bulk delete option. Duplicates will take hours to remove. It was only 3 months ago I finished cleaning out the duplicates from the last sync. OK, I cleaned cleaned out 1 year of data in about 1.4 hours. I noticed that data deleted long ago re-appeared after the sync. The iOS calendar crashed twice and the entire iPhone crashed once during editing.
And still it won't xfer calendar items from iPhone to Mac. So these are the 5 problems:
data won't transfer from iPhone to Mac
massive duplication of data during sync
no way to quickly remove duplicates
deleted data never goes away
iOS device crashes during massive editing
After 4 years Apple still can't get sync right. Are there any workarounds? A paper calendar would save hours of work every year. A Google calendar would probably work more reliably if you don't mind sharing your personal data with them. Not to mention all the other data- contacts, music, etc that people have lost with this sync system.

Can you please advise how to show a blank or clear cell as the first option in a pop -up menu on a Mac, I can see how on an IPad but but not on the Mac.
Thank you.Hi grm,
Yvan Koenig wrote an Applescript to create an popup menu with a true blank menu item. You can find it in Yvan's Box Account public area. Click on for_iWork'09, then for-numbers'09, then look for and download popup_with_nil.zip. Unzip the file, then open it with ScriptEditor.
Yvan's scripts include instructions (in French and English) on how and where to save the script and how to use it. I haven't read this one recently, so I can't give you any further details on it.
Regards,

I have a 2009 iMac running on Mavericks. Since a few days, when I open the Download Map from the dock, I only see "empty" icon symbols. When I leave the map open the icons re-appear after some 20 seconds. When I re-open the downloads, the icons are empty again.
How do I get the icons to behave in a normal way again?bro I just had this issue its as simple as swiping to the right of each album artwork that does not display in the list view (On your Iphone.) Once you swipe to the right on every album that does not display in the list view you will see the delete option come up. Hit delete! Dont be scared. Do this with every album art that does not show up and then resync your Iphone. Go to the list view again and all of your missing album artwork will be displayed in both the list overview and close up landscape mode.

How do I delete document from ipad but not iCloud?
I looked at the help on the iCloud page where I can log in from my mac. It says I can delete a document off my ipad but not the cloud by going in to settings and selecting the file in there. All I can find is a toggle switch to turn iCloud on/off for pages. I can't find access to individual documents there.
Ok tried again, figured it out.
Apple, wouldn't it be easier for the user to have a check box in pages/numbers/keynote on the thumbnail of each document for

Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?
I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
Regards
Mike
