If you mean copy files from one to the other you can connect the two via firewire cable and boot one into Target Disk Mode.

  • How to sync new Macbook Pro with 2011 iMAC on Snow Leapord

    Hello,
    This is my first post so hello!
    My small business has an office iMAC and a Macbook Air both running 10.6.8. The two aren't synced in any way other than that the Air can access files from the iMAC's hard drive via the network. I have 2 email accounts on the iMAC's mail and just one of them set up on the Air.
    I've just bought a new 15" Macbook Pro running Lion.
    I'd like to be able to sync some folders (but definitely not all), bookmarks, iTunes and mail accounts between the iMAC and the new Macbook Pro. Ideally I'd like to be able to access the shared/synced folders when I don't have an internet connection
    What's the best method?
    Snow Leapord doesn't have iCloud does it? If not, why the **** not?
    Is it just easiest to set up the email accounts on the new MBP as normal and then use dropbox for the folders I want to share? Can I access the with no internet connection?
    One other question, can i link a gmail account to my Apple mail?
    Thanks for any help.
    Best wishes
    Dave.

    No.  It was a feature that was introduced with the release of 10.7.2.  I do not know why it was not introduced on earlier versions.  Probably the same reasons why some features will be introduced in later versions of OS X that will not be found on older versions.

  • How to Sync two Macbook Pros

    Hi All,  I currently have a two year old 15" Macbook Pro that isn't too well    Odd things have been happening whilst I've been away from home and unfortunately Support so far has not been able to fix my challenge.  I'm using the Macbook in "safety" mode as suggested by the support team until I can re-install the operating system to see if this fixes my challenge.  However my last correspondence with Apple looks as if I may have to return it for service.  Given my isolated location (an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean) I could well be without this Mac for weeks.
    However.. I am considering a new 13" Retina Macbook for travelling and as a back up considering my current problems, hence my question; How do I sync both laptops so they both have exactly the same software, folders etc etc.  I use Photoshop and Lightroom, so it is imperative that my Lightroom Catologues are up to date and correct.  Then I can happily send this one away for service?
    This is what happens to my screen using the Mac in standard mode.  Not only do I get this type of screen, I also have totally black, blue with vertical darker blue lines, total lock up, cursor wont move, all require a manual shut down and reboot.  Then if I continue trying standard, I sometimes don't have a dock or the dock disappears below the frame, or again the cursor doesn't move or the cursor becomes a vertical line with 12 horizontal lines.
    Back to my original question; is there a software or something to syncronise both computers like you can on a PC using Microsoft Briefcase.  
    Thanks in advance - Karen

    Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

  • How long to transfer macbook pro into imac

    I just got my new imac. Started migration from my good old macbook pro through wifi & than connected ethernet cable. 4 hours have gone by now.... Is it normal? How long should this process take more or less ?
    Tks

    Thanks for replying. My question: if i plagued an ethernet cable while migration was already on, did the computers change and now migrate through ethernet? The only difference i noticed after connecting the ethernet cable is, the notice about connecting ethernet for a faster migration disappeared. But that was 2 hours ago.... . After how many hours should i start to be suspicious?

  • How-to sync my Macbook pro with my main iTunes library on another computer?

    I bet that question came up already, but I can't easily find any reference to it. Anyways, here I go.
    I have a desktop @ home with 1TB of disk space, and I'm using a Macbook Pro as my work laptop. I'd like to be able to sync up my Macbook Pro as if it was an iPod or appletv, so I can bring my music at work and even sync my movies when I travel.
    Is that possible using iTunes and if not, does Apple have any plans to implement that feature? I don't want to use a 3rd party software or start playing with rsync to do that. iTunes should be able to support it.
    Thanks!
    David

    He wants to take his laptop to work away from his home network so the itunes sharing won't work with that.
    There are some streaming server options you can setup such as slimserver http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_features.html
    I've used that and it gives you access to your library. Gotta have an internet connection but its easier than copying songs back and forth all the time.

  • How to connect my MacBook Pro and iMac

    I have file sharing enabled on both computers and the MBPro connects to the internet via WiFi through the iMac yet the MBPro cannot see the iMac in finder.  Both are running the latest version of OSX 10.9.1.

  • Since downloading Maverick iCal no longer syncs between my MacBook Pro, my iMac or iPad - how do I rectify this?

    I know Pete, but what if I don't have good internet connection sometimes?
    Imagine:
    this morning planning the whole next week with my iMac, bussiness around Europe.
    I must go this evening.
    Just now internet line fails in the neighborhood.
    Stupid situation, and not so uncommon, cause not all of us are living in Manhattan. (this is what Apple thinks)
    Cable must be an option beside iCloud.
    true or not?

  • How to connect new Macbook pro 2014 to iMac 2010 for a secondary display

    I have a new Macbook Pro 2014 and an old iMac 2010. How can I connect them to have an additional secondary display? I thought I would need a thunderbolt cable with a Thunderbolt to Mini DisplayPort adapter but I can't find that. There's lots of options and I don't understand what would be best.
    Macbook Pro 2014
    iMac 2010
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi Nathaniel,
    Thunderbolt is another way of calling it a Mini Displayport, thunderbolt is just faster and has more usage with other products (i.e. hdds, displays etc.) You can hook up a thunderbolt to a mini-display port because both are the same size and serve the same function. Just don't connect anything to the display port on the iMac other than a computer.
    Kind Regards,
    Sidney Ramirez

  • Can I sync a MacBook Pro to my iMac.......like syncing my iPhone or iPod Touch...using a common USB cable?

    Hullo all.
    Am curious to know whether I can, on a regular basis, sync my new MacBook Pro to my main machine, the 27 inch iMac?
    Obviously I do this with my iPhone, iPad2 and my iPod Touch.
    I guess I would use a USB to USB cable...which I have, to allow the two Mac's to talk to each other.
    Any suggestions? I do have Chronosync...should I try this application?
    Interested in your comments

    ps, I did buy the new iPad2 and love it...but, for all its brilliance , it is not a MBP......obviously!
    So, I bought a new one to the one I sold a few months back, and it is fabulous, got a 500 gig machine this time!

    Comment was an after thought! But it might help explain my situation!

    Hi all, a bit surprised at total lack of feedback!
    Maybe with the Cloud coming, we don't need to worry about manually syncing devices!!
    So, can I conclude that you can't really 'sync' a MacBook to an iMac?
    Appreciate an answer
    Thanks

  • Macbook pro or imac, how much faster is the imac?

    I work on huge photoshop files.  Up to 15gb sometimes.   In the studio I have a macpro 8 core, 32gb ram.   However, I also do work abroad, and for this I bought a macbook pro 2.4ghz intel 2 duo, 3 years ago.   when travelling I keep my files to 1GB or less.  It's still painfully slow.
    I need a faster portable option.   Can anybody advise me on the new macbook pro, vs macmini, vs imac?  how do the fastest macbook pro hold up against the fastest imac?  

    Take a look at this.  There are probably a few more on the web that you can find.
      http://www.primatelabs.ca/geekbench/mac-benchma
    The fact is that the iMacs have faster processors than the MBPs but the new MBPs will be significantly faster that your old one.  With that said,  your MAC PRO will still be faster than both the new MBP and the new iMac. 
    I suspect that if portability is an issue, the MBP probably should get the nod.  The iMac's are big and heavy.
    Ciao.
