How do you keep your desktop ON all day even though you are not there working? I need to keep it on in order to use file maker pro on my MacBook Pro .

I have filemaker pro on my Imac I recently purchased another license to use on my MacBook pro.
I can share from the host my IMac and be able to use it on my laptop as long as the compueter is on. and I have all the files open.
If i am at the computer no probelm. But the last two days i have to step out of the office and my MacBook pro can not pick up the host:(
because the computer goes to sleep. How do I keep it on. So i can make sure i can access the other files.
Thank you

Open up system preference>screen saver>unlock the padlock icon to make any changes>set display and computer sleep to never>lock the padlock icon again.

I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help?

Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud.

Transferring photos from your computer has nothing to do with your iTunes account/Apple ID.
Photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another, all photos on the iPad that were transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPad first - even if the photos were transferred from the old or different computer to the new computer being used for syncing.
When transferring photos from your computer, what is named the iPod Photo Cache is created on your computer for the photos that are transferred and why you see new photos being transferres are optimized before the actual transfer process. The iPod Photo Cache for these photos on the computer the photos were transferred from is not available on your new computer.
Since all photos on your iPad that were transferred from the old or different computer should remain on that computer, transfer the photos from that computer to your new computer. These photos on your iPad will be erased with the first sync but will be re-transferred along with a new iPod Photo Cache for these photos being created on your new computer.

I downloaded Itunes on a new computer but all my albums and apps are not there

Can anyone help me i got a new laptop and it is windows 8. I downloaded itunes but it does not have all my albums or apps and so i am afraid to back up my husband and my iphones or ipad. I can still do it on the old computer but would rather just be able to use 1 computer. I have authorised this computer and hone network sharing. Please help

To get your apps or your music on itunes you have to log in to your itunes account in itunes then, normally it will automatically find your music and applications...
You then need to sync them with your computer and I hope you will then have them on your computer.
Have fun

What happened to recent calls? They are not there ...seems to keep last 30 days only

Finally. Google would not open qwerty to post. Got iphone4 Feb 2011. Rent calls were there until June. Then, noticed only last 30 days worth. And it is not that calls are put together. Meaning same number calls in one entry. They are Gone!

The iPhone only keeps the last 100 calls, it has nothing to do with how long ago the calls were. If you had 100 calls in 2 day, the phone would only save 2 day's worth of calls.

How can I stop Preview from opening at startup even though it is not listed in my Login Items?

When I log into one of my user accounts in my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion), Preview is always open. The preview window itself is not open but the application name is active in the menu bar in the top left hand corner. The Preview item on the taskbar is also lit. Both of these indicate to me that Preview is running. However, I checked my Login Items repeatedly and Preview is not even listed. I also make sure that when logging out, the "Reopen windows when logging out" is unchecked. But Preview still always opens whenever I log into this particular user account -- it does not do it in any of my other user accounts. How can I fix this?

Thanks. I got to the bottom of it by checking Login Items. I had Flux, iTunes Helper, and Dropbox. I removed the first two from Login Items, leaving only Dropbox. However, when I rebooted and logged in, Preview was still open and Flux and iTunes Helper were back in the Login Items. To find out which application is the culprit, I looked under Flux's Preferences settings and disabled it from opening at login. I was intending to do it for every application until I find the culprit, but doing so to Flux solved the problem.

What will make it so you can't move objects by click and drag even though they are not locked?

I have been using the cc 2014 version for awhile now and this morning when I select an object with the selection tool, I can't freely move it by click and drag. The object will move with the arrow keys and can be aligned with the alignment tools.

Does it have a fill of None? Maybe you're trying to select the object on its "fill" but if there's no fill, it does not get selected.

How do you get your acct in a new computer if you already reached the 5 computer limit. I don't have 5 computers?!

Carmen,
If possible, deauthorize any computers you still have physical access to that you know you had previously authorized to play your iTunes purchases. Otherwise, you can always use the Deauthorize All option described in this article.

HT5934 How do I stop this update uploading to my mobile? Because I can't take any photos at all and the update is using up every inch of my mobile's space,not allowing me to keep all of my photos even though I've not got that many on there in the first pl

How do I stop updates uploading on my mobile please? Because I cannot take any photos at all on it as the iOS update program 7.0.3 is hogging up every inch of my mobile's space, not allowing me to keep my photos even though I've not that many anyway. Help?

Turn off Wifi in settings and then turn it on again; this will pause your device's update from updating.
To stop automatic updates of applications, go to settings, Itunes&appstore, scroll down to automatic downloads and turn off updates
Hope I've helped

Can you convert your desktop site plan into the phone & tablet version w/o re-creating the pages?

Can you convert your desktop site plan into the phone & tablet version without re-creating the landing pages? This seems too extensive to have to re-design each page?

Cwsnell,
On your nav bar there is a shorcut to other pages.
The most effecient way I have found to do this from the phone layout,
click on the page icon shown above
type in the name of the page (and select the desktop version as indicated by the icon of the monitor)
select all on that page (CTRL A / Command A) and copy (CTRL C / Command C)
revert back to the phone layout page and paste (CTRL V / Command V)
then resize, delete what you dont need, make any other edits and your done!
There is not a way to copy a page entirely over. The mobile version should have less information and less imagery to enable fast load times.

My guess is it's either a corrupt cookie or you have some add-on blocking cookies.
