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 transfer files from imac to macbook air

    I recently received my macbook air and I was trying to transfer iWork to my new macbook.
    Typically, I have no problems in the transfer process when I have done this before from my iMac to my Powerbook. And now, with the Macbook Air, my iMac tells me that the device isn't connected to the Macbook Air....but it IS showing that it is discovered.
    Sounds very confusing, I know.
    I just need to know how to transfer Pages to my Macbook Air from my iMac.
    If anyone can help, PLEASE DO!
    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.

  • How to use Lightroom from iMac and Macbook Air so that I can edit any/all photos in my catalog?

    I have lightroom catalog setup on my desktop (iMac).  But, I would like to edit photos from my new MacBook Air when I have the free time.  How do I set this up so that any edits done on my laptop sync with my desktop catalog?

    Craig:
    In the future you might look into an external FW hard drive from which you can operate the library.  Then, if you need to move it to another machine just unplug the drive and and plug it in to the other Mac.  For the MacBook Air you'd probably want a small (physical size) buss powered drive that would be an easy travel mate.
    For future projects, particularly books, consider creating a separate library for it.  You can assemble the photos you want in it in an album in your primary library and use iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album to the project library.  They are often small enough that then can be copied to a flash drive for transfer to other Macs.

  • 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 install software from imac to macbook pro

    Are you using one of the newer iMac's with no DVD drive? If so, you can either get an external CD/DVD drive (any make - doesn't have to be Apple) or, if you have another Mac on the same network that has a CD/DVD drive you may be able to do it by turning on 'DVD or CD Sharing' on that Mac (System Preferences>Sharing). Hopefully you'll see the disk on the Mac without the DVD drive and be able to install from there.

  • Cant delete recurring event from iMac to Macbook Air

    I Cant delete recurring event from iMac to Macbook Air.
    I have an event scheduled for Wednesday each week, I delete it at end of day. If i delete it on my Macbook Air it deletes fine on my iMac just fine. But if i delete it on my iMac first it stays on my Macbook Air...
    I check the preferences and both computers are configured the same way..
    It use to work before i upgraded both computers to Yosemite...

    Yes and no. AirDrop is used to send a file from one computer to another. A Contact isn't a file so AirDrop isn't the best way to move contacts from one computer to another. If you own both an iMac and MBA and want to keep the two computers synced, the easiest way is to create an iCloud account on both computers. Any calendar event, to do, contact, or note you create on one will sync to the other. If you just bought a MBA and want to move data to it from your iMac you should use Apple's migration assistant. Personally I think the easiest way to migrate is to perform a backup of the old computer to a USB external drive using TimeMachine and then connect the TimeMachine to the new computer and use Migration Assistant.
    But can you exchange contacts using AirDrop? Yes. Select the contact(s) you want to transfer, export them as vcards to a temporary folder. Then AirDrop the folder to your MBA. Now run Contacts and then drag the vcards onto the Contacts program icon in the Dock.

  • How to transfer files from iMac to iPad 2

    What's the best way to transfer files from iMac to iPad, like a Keynote presentation?

    It's probably not as "simple" as using DropBox, but it's there. When in the Apps section of iTunes, just scroll down to the bottom where there is a listing of installed apps that can use the iTunes data exchange. Documents available on the computer can be synced TO the device while those available on the device can be syned TO the computer.
