How to drag widgets to desktop mac in Lion

help me out in this. i have gone thgough all the community's posts but did nt find the corret method for OS X Lion..!!!

Hi,
Not sure if you have fixed this, but I'd use launchd to create the route on startup.
If you create a text file in /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.imac.route.plist
with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>local.imac.route</string>
  <key>OnDemand</key>
  <false/>
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
  <string>route</string>
  <string>add</string>
  <string>224.0.0.0/4</string>
  <string>[GATEWAY]</string>
  </array>
  <key>KeepAlive</key>
  <false/>
  <key>RunAtLoad</key>
  <true/>
  <key>ServiceIPC</key>
  <false/>
  <key>UserName</key>
  <string>root</string>
</dict>
</plist>
You need to replace [GATEWAY] with the IP address of the gateway to use like 10.11.12.13
Then as root (login as an admin user and use "sudo su -" to become root) type:
launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.imac.route.plist
You should be up and running.

  • How can my iPad and desktop Mac connect with FaceTime if they are both associated with the same email account?

    I hace an IPad2 and a desktop Mac --I am on Lion and in the cloud.  Both devices share the same email account.  How can I use the iPad to connect with the Mac through facetime if I am travelling?

    You need to associate another email address to one of the devices. Read about it here.

  • How to drag file from desktop into Finder window?

    I use the four finger gesture to reveal my desktop, then I drag and file and intend to put it in one of the Finder windows that was there before the "reveal desktop" gesture. How do I get the windows to come back while the file is being dragged? There seems to be no hot corner or keyboard shortcut for "unrevealing" the desktop.

    Got it! That was SO EASY...thank you very much

  • How do I make my desktop MAC address book override the older addresses in my iPhone?

    I have the iPhone 3g and a MAC desktop with snow leopard OS.  I have updated iTunes.  When I try to synchronize my address book between iPhone and MAC desktop, the new contact information from the desktop is not put into the iPhone.  Is there an online tutorial that will show me how to do this?  Another problem, when I try to edit contact information, the Edit menu won't let me delete whole contacts.  Consequently, I have multiple phone numbers for a contact, some of which are old, some new...and I can't remember which, because I thought I had erased the old info.  I want to be able to set the desktop to override the iPhone data, and vice versa, when I want to.  By habit, I don't enter new data directly into my iPhone contact list; I do it from the desk top. 
         I would like to find online tutorial videos that show me how to use the various features of my iPhone.  The online text tutorials aren't as helpful for me, when something goes wrong.

    To make your computer overwrite your iPhone contacts, connect the phone to iTunes, select the Info pane and scroll to the Advanced section at the bottom and put a check by Contacts.  Then sync.

  • How do I get my desktop Mac to show an Autofill option on Firefox 8.0?

    "Why do you want to see them in the Finder?"  Why not?  The iPhone or iPod is essentially a flash drive and should be able to be used as such.  One shouldn't have to open iPhoto to transfer pics and movies, audio recordings, etc.  The smarmy attitudes of some of the posters on the support community is some bulls**t and needs to go.  We are trying to bring people into the Apple community and with attitudes like some that I've seen on here, I don't blame some of the people I come across that don't like Apple. 

  • Connection between iPhone and desktop Mac

    OK so just how connected are iPhones and desktop Macs now? I ask because I just deleted mail from my iPhone and it [seemed] as if the same mail was deleted from my iMac. And this was not mail using my iCloud addy.

    Yes that is what I observed.
    There have been other strange things going on with Mail on both the iPhone and the iMac so I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was one of them, but still I thought I might get a hint on this problem.

  • HT1152 Hi, we have just got our new replacement desktop mac with mountain lion. We had a G5 that was irreparable. Now we are looking to see where we can put in our cd's as we just popped them into the side on the G5 but no joy here !

    Hi, we have just got our new replacement desktop mac mountain lion osx 10.8.2,  as the G5 was irrepairable. Now we can't find where to put our discs ?!? Have they now done away with being able to burn discs and put software discs in now and just rely on downloads ?

    Have they now done away with being able to burn discs and put software discs in now and just rely on downloads ?
    Yes. There is no Superdrive. You cannot play DVDs or CDs.
    You will need to buy an external DVD player/burner. Almost all will do the job, just make sure you can connect it, as your iMac does not have Firewire or USB2 (USB3 is backwards compatible).
    Or there is of course the expensive one from Apple.

  • My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook.  She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac which is current running Leopard.  Does she have to buy SnowLeopard for her Mac first?  Both computers use the same apple ID and password.

    My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook.  She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.  Does she have to first buy a SnowLeopard upgrade for her desktop?  And will the upgrade from SnowLeopard to Lion then be free?  Both computers use the same apple ID.

    She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.
    She needs to purchase Snow Leopard but she can re download Lion on the desktop for free after Snow Leopard is installed.
    And definitely use the same Apple ID to download Lion on the desktop.

  • Where is iWeb in Mac Os Lion?

    Do you know how can I install iWeb in Mac Os Lion 10.7.3? I have iLife'11 but it doen't come with iWeb? Thank you

    Where did you get iWeb before you upgraded to Lion? If if was preinstalled on your iMac then you will have a disk similar to #4 in this screenshot:
    If you purchased the iLife 11 disk then iWeb will be on it.  All you need to do is a custom install and select only iWeb.
    If your iMac came with Lion preinstalled then you'll have to follow Ethmoid's directions for obtaining iLife 11 and iWeb.

  • One mac with lion one with snow leopard

    If I transfer my mobileme to icloud on my desktop mac running lion, but my laptop only has snow leopard, will they still be able to sync as they did with mobileme?

    The last iPhoto version you can run with Snow Leopard is iPhoto 9.2.4, and Yosemite needs iPhoto 9.6.
    Move your photos to your Yosemite partition, if you want to use iPhoto with Photo Streams and other iCloud features.
    As you are asking about Lion, you can run iPhoto iPhoto 9.2.3 or iPhoto 9.2.4 both with Lion and SnowLeopard, but there is no iPhoto version, that runs both on Yosemite and Snow Leopard, or Lion and Yosemite.

  • I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. with the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see the work?

    I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. With the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see my page? Can I access Time Machine within an app like Pages? How do I enter Time Machine within the application? It always takes me to the Finder. I apolgise for the mumbo jumbo. I simply do not know how to use Time Machine. It makes sense when I follow the Tutorial but then I lose it.

    OK. You've kind of skipped over the reason why you want to go back five hours, but my assumption would be that you've made changes to a Pages file that you want to revert.
    There are two ways to tackle this. From Pages itself, open the current version of your document, and from the File menu, click Revert To, and Browse All Versions. You'll then be in the Time Machine interface for that file, and can browse back to the version you want.
    Or, outside of Pages, you can select the file (or the folder it was originally in, if you've since deleted it) and enter Time Machine from the TM menu (it sounds like you've already tried this?)

    I have forgotten my Password to be able to connect between my desktop Mac and Mac Book on my home network. How can I recover the password or change it?

    The password used to log in to a user account remotely is the same as you would use to log into it locally. You can also use your Apple ID, so try that.
    To change your login password read OS X Mavericks: Reset a login password

  • HOW CAN I RESTORE MY ITUNES BACKUP FROM MY MAC BOOK TO MY DESKTOP MAC?

    HOW CAN I RESTORE MY ITUNES IPHONE BACKUP FROM MY MAC BOOK TO MY DESKTOP MAC? THE REASON IS BECAUSE I HAVE TEXTFREE TEXT MESSAGES THAT I NEED FOR MY ATTORNEY AND WHEN I RESTORE IT FROM MY MACBOOK IT DOESNT INSTALL THE TEXTFREE BECAUSE I HAD DELETED ALL MY APPS IN ITUNES FROM IT.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER. THANKYOU

    Easy. Copy it from the old Mac to the new one.
    There are a variety of techniques including Setup Assistant (as soon as you get your new MacBook Air, it will ask you if you want to transfer information from another computer), Migration Assistant (if you elect to transfer information later), enabling file sharing between the two computers, or copying your music to a flash drive or other storage device followed by importing it to iTunes.

    Once your music library and everything else you want to transfer from the MacBook Pro resides on the new MBA, sync your iPod to the MBA. Sync the iPhone too when you get it, and they will both have identical iTunes music libraries.
