HT1549 Ipad and iMac Sharing

Is this possible?  I have set up a network on my iMac 10.8.2 and have no idea how to access it from an iPad.  I would like to have the iPad shares folders and files and printers.

How you're doing pstoll6?
It is pretty simple:
go to system preferences > sharing. Select internet sharing (do not check it yet, only select).
Share your connection from: Ethernet
Check wi-fi box and click wi-fi options. Now all you have to do is set up a connection with desired information. Network's name, password... and click Ok. You will return to previous screen. Now you can finally check internet sharing box on left side.
Regarding to file and printers, the procedure is the same. Just check the boxes on left hand side.

  • Paired ipad and imac..now what?

    I was pairing my wireless keyboard with my iPad and saw iMac on the list calling out to me.  So I paired them.   I have looked for uses and advantages for this but have yet to find anything.
    Suggestions and tips are welcomed. JiPi

    Your original post mentioned about wireless keyboard & iPad. Instead you pair it with your iMac.
    So you can wirelessly type on your iMac. My question was what else do you expect?
    Since this forum is about Home Sharing and your 2nd question was asking what iPad and iMac can do at the same time when connected.
    There are quite a number of things you can do. For example:
    1. You don't have to sync all your computer iTunes music to the iPad. You can stream it to your iPad.
    2. With a Remote app (free from Apple) you can control your computer iTunes.
    Have a read about home sharing:

  • My iPhone won't sync pictures with iPad and iMac

    I have an Imac, an iPad (18 months) and an iphone 4S (2months). All are set up identically with syncing photoes. The Ipad and iMac sync fine, but any pictures I take with the iphone will not sync automatically. Photo stream and sharing is set up on all of them. My husbands iphone is 2 1/2 years old and we have the same problem with that. I am an artist therefore have become dependent on the syncing. Can anyone help

    Hei Alfred, I set them all up to do the same thing in settings. Ie, using the same icloud account, switching on the icloud account for photos, my photo stream is on, so is photo sharing. The imac and ipad have functioned well all the time. The iphone is newer.  I made sure that the iphone had the same settings for photos as the ipad, but no photos have ever gone automatically into icloud from the iphone. I have always had to do it manually. It is the same with my husbands phone and he has had it much longer. He isn't so computer literate, but I'm beginning to doubt myself now!

  • How can I do to have the same contacts in all my devices, pc, iPad and iMac?

    I have severl devices and the last taime I updated my contacts was almos manually. I would Like to be able to have the same contacts in all, pc, iPad, and iMac.
    How can I set it so to get it done through iCloud?
    For instance in my pc ( windows 7 Home Premium ) I use Outlook 2007.
    Thanks for any comment on this.

    switching on iCloud should automatically tell it to merge data with that device and icloud. i'm on a mac but its gotta be the same on all devices and systems.
    when you switch on icloud for Contacts on a PC, it will tell you its merging all contacts with icloud...

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

    Hey sameyrs2,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you are getting a message when trying to backup to iCloud. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

  • I can not synchronise the agenda's in iPad and iMac

    I am using a iMac mid 2010 (yosemite) and a iPad mini 2 ios 8.1.1. Following the help instructions  in itunes and the ios 8.1 manual , but it does not work.
    Both using the synchronise button in iTunes or the automatic method via wifi, the agenda's in iPad and iMac will not synchronise.
    Help apreciated.

    Strangely enough synchronising iPhone (4S  ios 8.1)  and iMac does work!

  • I have two apple products registered to the same apple id.  I would like to use FaceTime on my iPad while out of town.  I need to do FaceTime to my iMac at home (both iPad and imac are reg. to same id).  It won't let me do it, help?

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • I was moving bookmarks in safari and 2 complete folders have emptied their contents. The folders are still there. I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac

    I was moving bookmarks in safari and 2 complete folders have emptied their contents. The folders are still there. I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac as well as thge MacBook Air I was working on. HELP!!!

    Hi,
    There is NO need to put your whole questing in the "Questing Heather" therefore you can TYPE here. In the Text window as I did to.
    Now to your questing:
    So, you moved some Bookmarks and now 2 folders are completely empty.
    I think that they dropped in a other folder during dragging the Bookmarks.
    Did you check ALL of you Bookmark folder if they are there?
    If you didn't delete the they have to be still there.

  • How can I synchronize 'Notes' on both my iPad and iMac?

    How can I synchronize 'Notes' on both my iPad and iMac? I have checked the boxes for Notes on iCloud and Yahoo.

    Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At. Use the same Apple ID. Make sure the phone numbers/email addresses you want to receive messages at are checked.

  • I recently upgraded to Mt. Lion and am downloading my iphone, ipad, and iMac in icloud. Can not check Photo stream in iMac. Do my iphone photos sync to iMac

    I recently upgraded to Mt.Lion 10.8.3. Am backing up icloud in iphone, ipad, and imac. In Imac, cannot check "photo stream".  How do I see my photos from iphone on my imac? and should I backup in imac icloud storage?
    Thank you.

    Log into iCloud (system preferences),  launch iPhoto and Turn on PhotoStream (iPhoto preferences) and look under PhotoStream in the source list in iPhoto - if you want, turn on auto import and / or auto upload in the iPhoto preferences

  • Why they dont put IPAD and IMAC together?

    Just a crazy idea,
    i have been thinking for a while, why apple doesnt put the ipad and imac togheter?
    I mean, if they create a dock, where you have a keyboard and a standard mouse o trackpad, then, when you pluc your ipad, you can use it as a normal Imac, with its normal features. And when you plug it out, it will became a normal ipad, as we know it today. That would be the way to sell an ipad for all those people who doesnt buy it because it cant replace their laptop or pc.
    Aditionally it would need flash, usb access, and an option to plug it to a bigger screen (it can be thunderbolt), if you dont want the ipad screen size to work at home.
    To crazy?? i think it would be very easy for them to develop it.
    Best Regards,
    Juan Gartner

    The iPad has a crippled processor and very conservative system for long battery life and low heat that can't render most of the web, or do much of anything else like a full computer can.
    This is my Firefox on a MacBook Pro compared to a iPad and other like devices.
    And to add insult to injury, Safari on a Mac is about twice as better as Firefox.

  • I want to synchronise Ipad and Imac emails with free

    I want to synchronise Ipad and Imac emails with free

    I have a number of PC and Mac Pro running Windows Pro, and the OS only needs 80GB partition, plus whatever data etc.
    New but used does not sound like Apple Store (refurbished) Specials which would be a 'virgin' OS.
    I would reformat and do your own clean install.
    There may be something wrong and why it was left that way for one thing. May be a problem with the partition table.
    Boot from OS X DVD and you can usually try Disk Utility to "-" remove and then repair and get back, and you of course normally should be able to just use Boot Camp Assistant which is one of its functions - not just to create partition.
    For normal resizing, or creating the free space you need has to be in one contiguous chunk and not be fragmented, which is hard to imagine that 500GB is going to be intact.
    And whatever you do, rule #1 in the pdf guide: backup before beginning.

  • Safari bookmarks different on iPad and iMac

    I've synced my iPad and iMac numerous times but the bookmarks on my iPad are the original ones and haven't updated to those on the iMac. Any suggestions?

    The exact same thing happened on my iPad over the last day or two … all of my old bookmarks disappeared and were replaced with just the set of default items (Google, Bing, iPad manual, and a couple of others). I couldn't add any new ones at that point, either. Eventually I tried killing off the Safari task in the bottom bar of background apps, and when I restarted Safari thereafter my old bookmarks were back. Definitely seems like a bug, but at least there was a workaround that helped in my case.
