    I am changing to iCloud on my iMac, MacBook Air and my iPhone. My iMac and MacBook both moved over to iCloud but my iPhone when I go to Settings and click on iCloud it shows my Mail setting turned Off. When I turn it on it wants me to create a new email address to turn on iCloud Mail. I already have to "me" accounts plus another email address and don't want to create another one. I don't understand why it's asking me to do this on my iPhone but didn't ask on my iMac or MacBook and is there a way around creating another @me.com email address?

  • Trying to set up a new macbook air and it is asking for a keychain password

    I am trying to set up a new Macbook Air and it is asking for a keychain password.  Where do I find one?

    There was an option to Cancel the pop up box which I have now done and it has carried on with the set up - so not sure what it was all about.
    I am going to the Genius Bar tomorrow so will ask the question!
    Thanks for your help Linc.

  • ICal - I want my iMac, MacBook Air, and iPad to all "talk" and share iCal entries.  How can I get this to happen?

    I am hesitant to run the Migration Assistant for this reason.  I just want to enter an appointment on my desktop iMac and for it to show up in iCal on both my MacBook Air and iPad as well.  Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    Jo Beth

    Once you configure iCloud preferences on your MBA it should automatically fetch your info from the cloud. Be sure that you set up your iCal account on the MBA.

  • How can close the lid to my macbook air and continue listening to my music?

    How can I close the lid to my Macbook Air and continue listening to my music? When the lid is closed the music stops playing.

    The computer will immediately go to sleep when the lid is closed unless there is an external display attached to the computer. This is a feature that is not user configurable.

  • How do I set up a network between my Mac & PC's so they can share files

    I'm looking to have a home network.. not the internet kind of network, I think it's called intranet (still learning about it) where I can have a Z: drive with a shared documents folder all my machines are able to access. I would also like to be able to access the files of any computer from any machine on the network. At some point I'm going to hook up an external drive, so that would like that to be the Z drive. I would want this external (Z) drive to be on the network so it's available from any machine as well.
    This is the 1st Mac I've had.. while I have a decent working knowledge of PC's, I don't know anything really about the Mac world, so please feel free to explain everything to me as though I am a child.
    Thanks!
    PS..Don't know if this is relevant, but I have a cradlepoint wireless router.

    The answer to what Networking solutions are available depends on what Hardware interfaces are built-in and Mac OS your computer can run, which depends on which Mac it is.
    If you can help readers determine which Mac you have, they are dying to help you, but you are not being responsive enough.

  • How can i better manage and sync contacts and calendars between iPhone, iMac, Macbook air and iPad?

    Hello I love MAC products and own quite a few but am still having a tough time synchronizing everything "under the same common roof" despite using "icloud". Does anyone have 4 duplicates for the same contact on an 1000 contact database (with Group contacts, MAC contacts, Icloud contacts etc...) what a headache!Thanks for any suggestions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

    Simply on the iPhone in the iCloud preferences turn off the contacts sync. It will ask if u wanna delete or not the contacts on the iphone. You answer to leave the Contacts on iphone. After that proceed to delete all contacts from all u're other devices and the iCloud site. A way to do it fast is to deselect the contact sync on icloud options in every device and when asked tell to delete the contacts from device. When u're sure that all other devices contacts are clean turn again on the contacts sync on the iCloud preferences for each device and at last the iPhone. After few the iPhone contacts will be sync to other device so u'll have same Contacts on all device. In this way when u'll made a change on one of u're device all other will have same change.

  • How do I set up my Imac after adding a SSD along with my existing HD

    How do I set up my Imac after adding a SSD so that my system and apps are on the SSD and everything else is on the HD?  I am using mountain Lion.  I want to make sure I can still do Time Machine backups. 
    I was planning on first formatting the SSD and then using Migration Assistant to copy the System and the Library and the Apps over.  Where it gets confusing is the User account where some of the items will be on the SSD but I want all my folders to be on the HD.  Do I just not copy over that other stuff and once I restart from the SSD it will know where all the folders are?  Is there anything I need to know about setting up a time machine backup after that?  Will the backup I had from the one drive have to be erased and start a whole new backup?
    I just want to do this right so I don't have some major problems.
    Thanks for any help.
    Michael

    time machine backed up your whole system data/everything in time machine hdd.
    you want to use ssd over hdd so you need to put new mac os x in ssd.
    then copy all the stuff that you want to put in ssd.
    from my point of view put the mac os x and other application in ssd and leave other data in hdd.(music,movies,etc....)

    How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
    Under 'Manage Devices' it only lists my iPhone and iMac. I've bought stuff on my new Macbook Pro using my Apple ID, but I can't find music I previously purchased using the iMac.

    Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

  • I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

    I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null

    Folks,
    I have created a report in WebI and now I am to set up some filters as Null and some Not Null.
    How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null?
    Regards,
    Bashir Awan

    Hi,
    As you said you could do it at the report level and also at the universe level.
    One more way is to create the filters in the universe levele and add them in thequery filter.
    Ex: in the filter you need to write :
    Column1 is null and and column 2 is not null etc.
    Hope this will help.
    If this did't  solve your problem then please explain it in detail.
    Cheers,
