HT2518 If I pickup a new Mac away from home?
Hello Everyone!
I am picking up a new Macbook Air away from home.
How can I start it up and migrate all my files from iCloud without having to connect one computer to the home unit?
Thanks!
No. iCloud will only contain a maximum of 5GB of data, and will otherwise contain some settings and details like saved passwords, bookmarks, email, etc. To fully migrate your account (music, documents, movies) system settings, and installed applications, you will need direct access to the computer you are migrating from, be it via network (Ethernet or WiFi) or directly through a Firewire or Thunderbolt connection.

Hi nainmom,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend starting with these steps if your iPod nano is not recognized by your Mac:

If you still have the old PC, look at this article: Move iTunes from PC to MAC, http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/move_itunes_windows_mac.html

. I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store 2 days ok, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.
I was bought a Mac book pro as a birthday gift from the Apple Store in Leicester, after completing the initial set up procedure, I noticed that the trash bin was full of some one's entire photo collection from 2003 to 2011.
This is entirely unacceptable for Apple: How long have Apple been fobbing of consumers who believe they were genuinely purchasing a 'new' Mac book?
How is it that I have someones entire photo collection on my 'branch new Mac Book Pro' - these photos included wedding photo's, birthday celebrations, family celebrations and children. Its a serious breach of data protection, it's an invasion of some poor persons privacy and private photo collection. What concerns me the most, is what could have happened if those photo's had fallen into the wrong hands. We managed to trace, locate and contact the person who the photo's belong to within 10 mins using information taken from their wedding album.
Understandably these people are also very distressed that their personal photos are on my brand new Mac Book pro.
I would like details of who to contact in regards this incident.Katdee22 wrote:

Is it possible to downgrade a new Mac Mini from OSX 10.7 to OSX 10.5? If so, how is this done?
Is it possible to downgrade a new Mac Mini from OS X 10.7 to OSX 10.5? If so, how is this done?
No. You can't install earler versions of the OS than that with which (any) Mac was originally delivered.
If you REALLY want to investigate this, read this thread....

Using the new iPad, what’s the best way to watch video files (away from home) which are stored on a NAS (WD My Book Live)? Any help would be appreciated!
Before you go, move the files to I tunes and sync them down. There is no viable way to stream from your nas drive to the pad.

I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 on my iMac and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of photo-rich documents prepared with Facing Pages (most of mine), but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work on sections away from home. At least on my old PC, Word maintained compatability with old versions. Beginning to regret having switched.
Thanks for your help. What is really irritating is that Apple give a big hurray about what they have added as "new" in Pages 5 (most of it pretty useless) without telling you of the myriad things they have deleted. If they had shown the list your gave the link to, I doubt may regular users would risked going to Mavericks with its auto upgrade. My partner got the message in time and is sticking with the earlier operating systems and Pages on Mac and iPad. Lucky girl.
I have found a way to use my iPad to add chapters written while on the move to reports on my iMac Pages 4.3. If I write it on the new Pages on the iMac (don't seem to be able to revert there), the send the report as an email in WORD format (not Pages) and download it in the Text Editor, then cut and paste into the story on the iMac. Hardly elegant but it works. -
How can i access my PowerMac when i am away from home?
Hi, I have a powermac G5 at home and have just bought a mac book pro. is there any way to set them up so i can access the powermac when i am out traveling with my mac book? I guess i would need to leave the powermac on all the time, but how do i get the two connected? i have far to many files to use iDisc and i have a lot of extra drives attached to the powermac at home.
Any chance the answers could be simple!!! I'm relatively new to macs and know almost nothing about accessing computes over the internet.
thanks for your help.
martinHi Martin,
I am just implementing something which may be of interest to you.
I have a home network of a G5 Quad and several PCs which I wanted to be able to access, securely while I was away from home. (Using a XP laptop).
I have just purchased a LinkSys RVL200 VPN router and ASDL modem and after a fair amount of trial and error managed to get it working to my ISP, British Telecom.
Effectively I can now connect my laptop from anywhere on the internet and it is as if I am sat on home with it connected to my local network. Most importantly it runs via an https: tunnel (may not be the correct phrase) so it is secure.
To connect all I have to do is go to my IP address via the browser using https://, logon on and it creates a connection through which I can access my Mac and PCs. Once the connection is in place then I can run any application on my laptop and it connects fine. (Last night I tested it running ftp to my G5 which is hidden behind the firewall.)
The only thing I am not sure about is how it would connect using a Mac rather than an XP machine (the secure connect icon appears in the tray) but if it fits what you are looking for I'm sure LinkSys could advise on whether it would work.

How do I send an "away from home" or "out of office" message in mail like I can in Outlook? Can't seem to find instructions anywhere.
ThanksOpen Mail preferences. Go to the Rules tab. Click the +Add Rule+ button.
Name it whatever you want in Description. The rule itself is
+If any of the following conditions are met:+
To -- +Is equal to+ -- [email protected]
To -- +Is equal to+ -- [email protected]
<add as many as needed for your email addresses>
+Perform the following actions:+
*Reply to Message* -- Click +Reply message text...+ button and enter your reply message for being away.
When you click OK, make sure you select NOT TO apply rule to (existing) messages in the selected mailbox. You just want it to apply to new messages. After the rule is saved, immediately uncheck the Active checkbox, until you need to use it. Late at night, when you are less likely to get a real message, test it out by making the rule active and sending an email to yourself, to make sure your "vacation" rule works as expected.
Look up the Mail Help topic +Sending automatic replies+ and note the warnings about making a rule too broad. As advised, it may be best to use a mail server setting to send this type of reply. For example, with .Mac, I can set it up to automatically send such a reply when I'm away. When I get back, I can make it stop. -
Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all. Is the setting I need to change in Outlook or on the iPhone or is it somewhere else? I used to have this setting but transferring Outlook to a new laptop somehow turned it off.
No. You really can't do that. Not easily at any rate. You would have to set them both up to use POP3, but even then there is no way to guarantee that the phone won't poll the server prior to your computer doing so, pulling down the message from the server.

I recently added a number of movies to my iTunes library by redeeming digital copeis that came with Blu-rays. Due to limted disc space on my MacBook Pro, and for safe keeping, once I downloaded the movies, I moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive. When I'm home and I'm able to access that external HD via my home network, I'm able to watch the movies without an issue. However, if I'm away from home and I want to watch them, I'm not sure how to do that. I thought I could "stream" purchased movies from within iTunes - even after downloading them - using "iTunes in the Cloud" but can't figure out how to do that, or it simply isn't possible.
What are my options?I understand that I can't play my downloaded movies when my external HDD is not connected becuase iTunes is looking for the downloaded files. This is not the issue. The issue is that because my HDD is not connected (as in when I'm away from home) I'd like to be able to stream the movies via the cloud.
If I hadn't downloaded the movies when I redeemed my codes, would I have been able to keep the movies online via Apple iCloud and watched them anytime by streaming them or must the movies be downloaded in order to be viewed on my MacBook? I read that Apple allows movies purchased (or redeemed) via iTunes to be stored in the cloud via Apple iCloud so that they can be viewed any time, on any device. IF this is the case, how does it work? From what I can see, it looks like movies can only be "streamed" from the cloud when useing Apple TV; on my iPhone and MacBook Pro, it looks like they need to be downloaded in order to be viewed.
Can someone clarify this for me?
Also - Michael - when you said that If I've already downloaded the film but I'm away from my external HDD I should "Delete the entry from the iTunes library so iTunes only sees the iTunes in the Cloud version", what exactly would this mean? Would this mean that I could then stream the movie from the cloud or would I have to re-download it to my Mac's internal HDD in order to watch it?
Many thanks! -
the job takes me away from home and at times I need information stored on the iMac. I would like to access the main computer and its files through a second computer, Mac Pro. Is there a service that will allow me to access my main computer when I'm traveling? For example if I'm in Brasil and need to access files found in my main computer in Canada, what reliable allows me to connect between the 2 computers?
Yes,

ARD is totally unnecessary and inapplicable for your scenario. ARD is a Mac OS X application for managing other Macs and is not useful if you want to connect to a Mac from some other OS. Mac OS X has a VNC client build int, so VNC, or one of the number of other remote control solutions - LogMeIn, for instance, if they offer a Linux version - is where you want to be looking.
