How to prevert 2 computers from always trying to connect via bluetooth, how to prevert 2 computers from always trying to connect via bluetooth

I just bought my wife a iMac. Now her iMac and my Macbook Air are always trying to connect via bluethooth. I use a bluetooth mouse and she has the bluethooth keyboard and trackpad, so turning bluetooth off is not the best answer.
Thanks

What's the problem?  In theory a BT device can only pair with one machine at a time.

    Good day BenithaK,
    Once you have changed your Apple ID, you need to set it up for use in the various systems such as iTunes, the App Store, etc so it can be used as intended. This article shows how to do that -

    To change your iTunes billing information for either Apple ID account, follow the directions in this article -

  • I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

    I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button "live radio" I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

    That is probably just a generic error message and you might not ever know what is causing it. Assuming that you have been able to play live radio with the app in the past (I know nothing about the app) and assuming that all other Internet related functions (Safari, email, etc.) are working properly on your iPad, quit the app completely and reboot your iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that fails to resolve the issue, you might want to reboot your router, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work

    When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work. I did not have the problem until I started using firefox 4.

    It is probably a JavaScript link.
    You can probably force it where you want it with a keyboard shortcut
    either "Ctrl+click" or "Ctrl+Shift+click". see
    * Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)<br>http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm

  • HT204053 I tried to buy some thing from APP.  But it always show someone else apple ID.  there fore I can not use my passward.  And I can not use my Apple ID when I want to buy something from App.  How can I fix it?

    I tried to use my iphone to buy app.  But it always showed difference apple ID.  Not my apple.  Therefore I can not buy app.  I dont know how to fix it.

    What id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone ? If it's not your id then tap on it and log out of it and you can then log in with your id.
    If you have any apps or other content from the id that is currently showing then that content will be tied to that id e.g. only that account will be able to download updates to its apps and make in-app purchases in those apps

  • I'm trying to share a new Canon printer wirelessly between my HP laptop and my iMac.  I've successfully printed from both computers, but, I get errors trying to print on one after I've printed on the other.  Any ideas on how to get them to both to print?

    I installed a new Canon printer several months ago that I was told by the salesman could be shared between my iMAC and HP laptop.  I have successfully used the printer wirelessly from both computers, however, it gets hung up switching between the two and I'm not sure what to do to get it to be consistent.  Any ideas?  

    You didn't state how it's connected to each computer, if it's connected through your router then it should work. If it doesn't then you need to contact Canon and ask for assistance.

  • I tried to erase my ipod from settings but when i try to reboot it, it always freezes with the apple logo. How can i fix this and it doesn't even appear in my itunes?

    I wanted to erase my ipod so i went on settings, then general and then i erased my ipod
    but when the apple logo comes up, it just freezes right there and i try to reboot it but it keeps freezing
    so how can i fix this? please help

    Try a Safe Boot by Restarting and holding down the Shift key between the startup tone and the Apple logo w/pinwheel.  It will take longer to boot up in Safe mode.  If successful, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk > select your OSx disk and restart.

  • Why am I getting sharper printouts from Windows Photo Viewer than PSE 7? This was not always the case. has something in my settings changed? I have tried all obvious solutions but no change. How can i get the best image print outs from PSE?

    I prefer to print from PSE as this allows me to set  picture dimensions. Windows photo viewer does not give this flexibility. I am using the same PC, the same printer and the same print file, yet the outcome from each software option is significantly different. WPV is sharp and bright whereas PSE is softer. Can any one help me?

  • First, I am not well versed when it comes to computers, with that being said I need help. I was trying to figure out how to get my music from my ipod onto my computer and somehow all my music on my ipod is gone and none of it made it to my computer.

    Is there any way I can find my music? I had originally added this music to my ipod from my old now deceased computer and I didn't have it backed up externally.
    Message was edited by: PLATBSP

    It is now gone. If it was not iTunes purchased music you will have to get your CDs out and rerip them on the new computer. You have to use 3rd party software to copy non-iTunes music from an iPod to a computer, such as Yamipod.

  • How do I stop fcpx from always trying to login to a networked computer

    This just started happening.
    But I can not get fcpx to stop asking for me to login to one of my networked computers.
    I have never had that computer connect when importing footage and no footage exists on that computer but for some reason the login popup keeps coming up every 5 seconds asking me to log in. When I do log in it says that to many users have connected (no-one is connected). It's a never ending Loop.
    Very annoying.
    HELP!

    Try trashing your FCP X preferences (back them up first just in case you want/need to restore then afterwards)
    You can use Digital Rebellion's free Preferences Manager app for all your backup, restore and trashing preference needs ... very easy: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/

  • Had to have my hard drive "cleaned."  Now everything I try and do is a mess.  All my data on my iPhone was deleted.  I'm trying to figure out how to find it.  I can't update my apps.  Always asks for my PW, but tells me it's wrong....HELP!

    I recently had to have my computer hard drive "cleaned."  While this was going on, I broke my SG3, and now own an SG4.
    I also changed servers for the internet.  When I tried to plug in my SG4, after not being on iTunes for some time, all my data was erased.
    No every time I try and do ANYTHING, it asks for my PW.....which is ALWAYS WRONG.....though I've reset it over and over and over.
    I want my data back (contacts, pics, etc.).  But I can't even maneuver around iTunes any more.
    How in the **** do I get someone from iTunes to give me assisstance for the myriad of problems for which I am encountering.  This is a CLUSTERF.....
    HELP!

    There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4".  Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
    It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files.  Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen.  Do you not have a backup?  The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
    If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
    No one can magically make them re-appear.

  • Trying to use Migration Assistant to restore from Time Machine backup but it keeps "Looking for other computers..."

    Hi!
    I just bought a new MacBook Pro 15" and I wanted to transfer my old files from a previous Time Machine backup done with my old MacBook Pro 15".
    Both computers have Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) installed.
    I always used Migration Assistant without any problem to accomplish this task, but now I don't know why it's stuck on a screen displaying "Looking for other computers...". What? What computer? I'm trying to restore from a Time Machine backup on an external hard drive, so I don't understand what computer it is looking for.
    Do you have any idea to solve the problem?
    Thanks!

    At the screen in Migration Assistant titled "Select a Migration Method," select From a Time Machine backup or other disk.

  • How do I sync photos onto my ipad from multiple computers?

    My dad just got an ipad and we're trying to sync pictures from multiple computers.  He's already synced pictures from his computer.  But there are some pictures on my computer that he wants too.  Every time I try to sync photos from my comptuer to his ipad, a menu pops up and asks if I want to replace his existing photos.    I don't want to replace his photos with my photos.  I just simply want to add to his collection of photos. 
    Of course I can always transfer photos on my computer onto a flash drive and upload it onto his computer.  But I want to know if there is a way where I can sync photos from multiple computers onto his ipad without replacing his original pictures.. (and without using a flash drive or emailing pictures)
    Thanks

    Only the contents of the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, and not including photos in a sync is how you delete them from the iPad - so you need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go. There are third-party apps for the iPad such as Simple Transfer that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad via your wifi network, but they will just go into the Saved Photo/Camera Roll album on the iPad - though with iOS 5 in the Autumn you will then be able to move photos between albums on the iPad

  • I was updating Firefox from version 6 to version 7, after updating I tried to open Firefox and the message I got is this: This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found. How can I fix this?

    I was updating Firefox to the newest version 7.0.1 from version 6.0.2 I think it was, I clicked the restart Firefox button that always comes up after updating. It started updating and then Firefox never restarted like it was supposed to after it was done updating. I then tried to open Firefox and it told me "This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found." I did have Firefox crash on maybe about 30 minutes or so earlier which bothered me because I have been using Firefox for years and never had it crash on me before but I didn't think much of it at the time it happened because I was able to go back onto Firefox and finish what I had been working on. A while later I checked for updates and updated. The first time I tried to update it didn't work though so I had to shutdown Firefox and reopen Firefox and start the update a second time. It was after the second time that when I tried to open Firefox I got that message about failing to start because xul.dll can't be found. I filed a crash report when my Firefox crashed. This would have been around 1am-2am in the morning that Firefox first crashed and then wouldn't allow me to open it after updating. I have a DELL laptop running the Windows XP operating system but the laptop is probably at least 6 or 7 years old. The laptop will no longer charge so I always have to have it plugged into an outlet. Both my laptop hard drive and my external hard drive give me messages that I am running out of disk space on my hard drive. I bought this laptop 6 or 7 years ago second hand so it could be even older. In short it's a piece of crap and it gives me all kinds of issues but I currently can't afford a new one, but I have never had any problems with Firefox and I use Firefox more than any other aspect of my laptop so it's really really bothering me. May you please help me fix it?

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?
