How do I update files from iMac to Macbook

Having updated a Numbers file on iMac, opened iCloud on iMac,uploaded file & downloaded (updated iPhone & iPad but not Macbook).
Reset iCloud & restarted all devices, but no change in Macbook.
Tried copy & pasting from iCloud to Numbers but just end up with a jumble of figures in one column.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

    unless you're sharing very large files, speed will be more or less the same using any of the above connections.
    this support article may prove useful: Mac 101: File sharing.
    you can also use firewire Target Disk Mode.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum.  You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • How to download files from iMac to MacBook Air

    I have an iMac and time capsule.  I bought a MacBook Air for travel.  I need to be able to copy apps and files from the iMac to the MacBook Air.  I figured I could use time capsule for that but have no clue how to do it.  Should be easy, so thought I'd ask bef

    thank you for the quick reply.  I have turned on file sharing on my iMac and went to server connect on the Air.  I am connected to time capsule.  Now what?  It shows a data folder and when I open that, I see all the computers in the house.  If I double click on the iMac, nothing happens.  I'd like to be able to selectively choose the data and the apps to copy onto the Air.

  • How to share files from iMac to MacBook Pro thru USB

    I would like to network my new MacBook pro to my iMac with a USB connection. I want to transfer files from my iMac to the MacBook. I have the cable connected, but don't know how to have the two computers "link".
    Please advise.

    When you log into a Mac, no matter from where, you must log in as a user on that Mac (although you can log in as guest, if the sharing preferences are set correctly).
    So, when you try to connect to one or the other Mac, are you logging in as a user on that Mac? Does that user have access to the files you are trying to share?
    If you have a userA on MacA and userB on MacB, If you try to connect to MacA from B, you must log in using credentials of userA. Then, you'll have access to anything userA has access to.
    You can also create Sharing Only users in the Sharing Preferences when you share out a folder. Just select New Person when you add people to the sharing list. You can then log into that Mac with that username and password and it will give you access to the folders allowed for that user.

  • How to move email folders from iMac to MacBook

    I have an iMac which I use almost all the time. When I travel I use my MacBook. Both have the latest operating system etc. By connecting the two with a cable I have no trouble moving files from my iMac to my MacBook. However, I do not have a clue how to move my email file folders in which I put my incoming emails.  I believe the Library is hidden. So how do I get to the Library and what files do I need to move to move my folders, I created, one sees in the left margin of the email window?

    Unfortunately this did not do the job. I have clicked on all the items in the iCloud preferences and nothing happens.When I click on Sign Out I get the question "Do you want to keep a copy of your iCloud contracts on this Mac?--- I don't know-- What does it matter? So I keep the contract on this Mac. Then I am asked "If you stop using iCloud for Calendars, calendars stored in iCloud will be deleted from this Mac." What is this all about? What should I do?

  • How to transfer with thunderbolt from iMac to MacBook Air?

    I have a new MacBook Air and I'm trying to migrate files from my iMac over a Thundertbolt connection. It doesn't work. Anyone else have this problem?

    You have not told us which versions of OS X either machine is running.
    Assuming both are running Mavericks (as they should be), this describes how to migrate using Thunderbolt:

  • How do I transfer files from an old macbook to the new air?

    I just received a new macbook air...I am stumped on how to transfer files and more specifically on how to get the Microsoft office for mac onto the harddrive since there is no cd drive!

    First, the transfer of files from another computer is best done through Setup Assistant.
    User Pondini has some great comprehensive pages on the very subject right here;
    http://pondini.org/OSX/Setup.html
    On installing Microsoft Office for the Mac on your unit, the best way is to download the trial of MS Office from Microsoft's website, and then use your disk set's activation code to activate the trial to a registered full version. This way, no DVD reader is needed.
    Alternatively, you can use Remote Disk to share a DVD reader from another computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1777
    Or you can purchase an external Superdrive from Apple. Many other external USB DVD units will also work.

  • HOW DO I MERGE FILES FROM EMAC TO MACBOOK W/O having 2 logins?

    I used transfer manager to move files from old eMac to new MacBook ...now it is like I have two computers....I have to log off from the MACBOOK "side " and log in like I was on my old eBook to get to those files??? At a minimum I want my iPhotos and my iTues files on the MACBOOK side

    You could log into the migrated account then delete the Setup Assistant account. Then change the account name to whatever you prefer. To do that see the following:

  • How do I transfer files from my old MacBook Pro to my New MacBook Pro?

    I am trying to transfer some files, not all, from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro. I have tried to use Migration Assistant, but it doesn't let me choose what I want to transfer (only generic things like "users" and "files and folders"). I have tried to use Firewire. Now here is the funny thing. When I put my old mac in target mode it doesn't appear on my new mac anywhere. But, when I put my new mac in target mode, it pops right up on the dashboard and in finder. The problem is I have tried using my new mac as the target and just place the files into the icon, but the don't stay after I eject. I get a prompt that says downloading and when all files and apps are transferred I turn off my new mac then turn it back on and nothing. I've done search after search and repeated this process 3 times and nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

    Time Machine will not "overwrite". New back ups are added to what is there, without erasing.
    Connect the Time Machine back up, double click on the icon and navigate through its contents - the back ups are chronological, so you just select the date then go through the contents just like on any other drive. You can select any files you want and drag and drop on the new Mac's desktop (or anywhere else).

  • How can I synch files from iMac to MacBookPro?

    I have an iMac and a MacbookPro - both only a year old using the latest Yosemite O/s update.  I used DropBox and had been saving all files that would normally be found under Documents, to DropBox.  However, it is a bit pricey for me and I was advised by so many people not to save that way (even though I have a time capsule).
    I got scared a few weeks ago when I completely lost my writing folder - all my work in other words - so I transferred everything back onto the iMac.  However, that defeats the purpose of my having a laptop to take with me when I want to write elsewhere, in a library, on the road and even in my outside studio if I want to, without having to save to USB and then copy across afterwards.
    Is there a safe and reliable way anybody could recommend to synch.  I don't think I can use iCloud Drive precisely because I use non-Apple applications (Word, Scrivener, Aeon Timeline and more).
    Any suggestions, advice or help would be most welcome.
    Thanks in anticipation

    You can try iTransfer if it is availabe on iMac.
