How use my indesign CS6 on both iMac and Macbook Pro

Wish to copy my indesign CS6 from my iMac to my Macbook Pro. Have downloaded CS6 3.5 gb from Adobe but will not open and does not show in my applications folder. My idd document is on desktop but is gray and has green letters: exec. Help!

You cannot copy or migrate a copy of InDesign from one computer to another. Adobe applications install a host of files in various locations which are not properly installed.
You must either use the installer file which you originally received or downloaded. You can also download CS6 again from this location:
Other downloads
Unfortunately, before you can do that, you'll have to remove the components you copied to your second computer. You can use this Adobe Cleaner tool to do that:

How do I share directories between my iMac and Macbook Pro?

Hi there,
I have a Macbook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2010, 8Gb RAM and 1Tb SSHD drive) and an iMac (2012 model, 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive). Both run the most recent version of Yosemite.
At the moment I tend to use the iMac as the master computer, its the one I put new music on, new photos, etc. The Macbook I use when not at home but it obviously does not have anywhere near as much music or photos on it. It's annoying as I can't synch my iPhone with the Macbook without losing files that are on the iMac.
Is there a way that I can share the same directories for iTunes and iPhoto (And it's replacement Photos when it comes out). The ideal situation being that if I update one, it also updates the other.
Would having cloud storage be the answer? Then again would the Macbook have access to these directories if I'm not in range of WiFi?
Thanks!
J

I use iTunes Match ($25/year – not too expensive) and iCloud Photo Library for this. I sync my phone with the desktop computer, but I don't store all my music and photos on the phone because there's not anywhere near enough capacity.
All of your Apple devices can access these services.

One Keychain library on both iMac and MacBook Pro via Dropbox or...?

Hi guys
I would like to have the same Keychain library on both my Macbook Pro and iMac?
Can I get this done via Dropbox or how can I fix this?
Thanks!
Bob

Why do you want to do this (I'm curious)?
I found this article which explains how to copy keychains from one Mac to another. Keep in mind that this does not sync the keychains; it's only a snapshot of your existing keychain at the time you copy it. And ... you are on your own doing this, especially if your Macs have different releases of OS X.

Hi. Can anyone help me work out how to sync an iPhone5 on an iMac and Macbook Pro without wiping out the data on the iPhone?

Hi,
I want to learn how to sync one iPhone across two other devices (an iMac where the master backup & iTunes library exists) and my work Macbook Pro (where all my mail and business mail and calendar info is stored). Is this possible?

The short answer is, you don't. You can only sync with one iTunes library at a time.
The longer answer is, it's possible to set up what you want, but it's dangerous.
The smart answer is, sync it with your iMac, and sync the calendar and contacts with iCloud, your Exchange server, or another cloud service. Mail is not synced with a computer at all. Only with a mail server.

How do i migrate files from a imac to macbook pro using an ethernet cable. the migration program asks for firewire and i don't own a fireWire. I do own an ethernet cable though

A FW cable would be far faster & Easier, but with Ethernet you need a compatible version of Migration Assistant running on both Macs.

HT1270 Used the right memory, both for my iMac and MacBook Pro, iMac worked, MacBook Pro didn't start (warning tone). Any idea?

Used the right memory according to page, both for my iMac and MacBook Pro, iMac worked, MacBook Pro didn't start (warning tone).
Any idea?

I suggest you buy your memory from OWC or DataMem. Both guarantee the memory works or will replace it if it does not, no questions asked, within their 30 day return period. I've used both for over 20 years, and no complaints.

Using iMac and MacBook Pro both running OS 10.7.5

Is there an easy way to have my "sent" emails (using Apple Mail) from my iMac also show up as "sent" email from my Macbook Pro?
Using iMac and MacBook Pro both running OS 10.7.5

Yes, if you have an IMAP account. From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Store sent messages on the server

HT201380 keep having scrolling problems with Maverick on both iMac and Mac Pro despite downloading mail software update

Have scrolling problems with Maverick despite downloading mail update on both IMAC and Mac Pro
Have to reboot and it helps for awhile then stalls again

The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". This probably has nothing to do with your problem, but it'd be worth going to System Preferences > Network and making sure the SOCKS Proxy is not enabled in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet.
Also, it looks like the crashes you're talking about are actually freezes, i.e. Mail becomes unresponsive rather than quitting unexpectedly. In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer, and see whether Mail displays there what it's doing when it freezes. Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it's doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
Reinstalling Mail will probably accomplish nothing, but it might be worth reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of machine and the version of Mac OS X you're using (which you would have to do anyway if you wanted to reinstall Mail):
Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

Connecting iMac and MacBook Pro using a non-Apple wireless router

I use a Belkin wireless router. Is there any way for me to connect iMac and MacBook Pro using the router to share files? I think I read somewhere that I need AirPort Extreme for this, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

Great resource from Dennis...file sharing, I.e. networking, is a function of the operating system settings and not the brand of router. Using Mac OS X 10.6 on both machines makes it really seamless. Following Dennis's kb article should make the two almost act like one machine.

AirDrop used to work between my iMac and MacBook Pro. Now, when I try to transfer a file (either direction) I get a message that my certificate is invalid or that the file has not been accepted. What do I do?

I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro- can not work on FCP simultaneously when my network ports are on (open). How do I go about changing this?

Hi!
I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro and can not work simultaneously on FCP on all workstations when the network port is open. Can anyone help me on this?

Did you purchase Final Cut Pro from the Mac app store? Or install it from disk? If from disk, you may have installed it on all machines using the same serial number, and using all of them simultaneously violates the license agreement. If you purchase from the App store the licensing is different and that may not apply.

I have purchased the VGA Connectors for both a iMac and Macbook Pro so that i can connect my promethean board projector to the computer and I can not get the image on the screen. Does anyone have any suggestions?

thank you, I have the adaptors so glad that would work. I just heard adaptors burn out often. So Just thought for my main iMac computer, a plug would be best. I will get one once I move.
Any other suggestions or things I should know about apple products in Ireland. I know there are no Apple stores there.
An adaptor doesn't burn out. It merely serves as a means to connect the power prongs on your device to the power supply.
I believe you are thinking of a transformer, which you do not need. A transformer converts one voltage to another.
You don't need to do that as the power supply of modern electronics can take almost any worldwide voltage.
Look at the label on the device. It should indicate the input power acceptable of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
Additionally, I found the adapters cheaper in the UK than I found them in the US. They were available in most supermarket chains. I wasn't in Ireland, so I can't say one way or the other.
If you have something that doesn't have that input power spec, it would require a transformer.
On other items like electric clocks or things with motors, you can connect them up to a transformer and the voltage will be correct, but the frequency may not. For clocks, that will cause them to not keep time well. For motors, they will burn out.

IMac and Macbook pro have same Picture content both are being uploaded to iCloud

Hi
My iMac and Macbook pro have the same Pictures now that i got the new Photo app all the information is being uploaded to iCloud and i am getting duplicate pictures
is there anyway to merge the pictures and only upload one of them?

HI, then try this and before you do this hold down the command keyboard button and then click the pictures that are duplicated and delete them. then try this -
Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings
