  • How do I use an iPhone with an iMac and a MacBook Pro?

    I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4S. I will be travelling and would like to sync my iPhone with the iMac or MacBook, depending on where I am.  I am on the cloud and manage my music manually. I'd like to be able to sync and download app updates via iTunes. Currently I sync via the iMac, will I lose my music if I attempt to sync the iPhone with the MacBook?
    Thanks (and, yes, I know there is an obvious answer somewhere but I can't find it)

    I was afraid of that. That's why I posted the question before trying to sync and losing everything. Too bad as I just bought a MacBook Pro and would really like to have mirrored devices across the board. Either Appke's technology isn't up to it or they have some obscure secrecy reason to prevent it.

    The only way that you can connect your iPhone to the mac is to use it for a "Wi-fi hotspot" meaning that you can use the celluar connectivity of your phone to connect your computer to the interent.
    Do you mean a MacBook Pro of the desktop MacPro?

  • How do I share a 3G USB modem connected to my Macbook Pro with my Airport Express?

    Hi. I have a 3g USB modem connected to my macbook pro, and I want to try share the signal with my Airport Express (latest model).
    Now before everybody screams that it can't be done, I was searching the forums and found a discussion in which someone describes how to do it from 2008, unfortunately it is archived and I couldn't ask the author directly, and the description doesn't go into much detail.
    In the thread, the author describes turning internet sharing on to share the USB modem, creating a network on the macbook, then renaming the Airport Express network name the same as the macbook, and setting the AX to Join a Network.
    Problem being there is no description of whether the macbook connected to the AX via ethernet or wifi, what settings were changed on the AX eg bridge mode.
    Is this possible in theory, and has anybody had any success sharing a 3g USB modem via a macbook pro to an AX? I know there are other options like getting 3g ethernet modems, unfortunately not an option in this case - new house, waiting for DSL to be installed, 2-3 month wait.
    Thanks

    Well, you cannot use the 3G USB modem plugged directly into the Express. However, you can configure your MacBook Pro to do 'Internet sharing' (SysPrefs>Sharing) over the Ethernet port, and then connect your Express into the Ethernet port. Alternatively, you could always get your MacBook to 'create a wireless network'.

    You could always look for open WiFi networks to *cough*borrow*cough* .

  • I am trying to use my iPhone for personnel hotspots for my MacBook Pro

    Can anybody tell me how to use my iPhone  ( I have paired it) with my MacBook Pro instead of wifi?

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4517
    Be sure and expand all the sections on the page:
    "Sharing your cellular data connection"
    "Connecting other devices"
    "Disconnecting devices"
    Your cellular carrier also needs to support tethering (personal hotspot). If you have a "Share everything" plan under Verizon, it should be included.

  • HT1766 How do you sync an iphone with itunes on a new MacBook Pro without deleting everything on your iPhone?  It is the iPhone 4.

    How do you sync an iphone 4 with itunes on a new MacBook Pro without deleting everything on your iPhone 4 if it was previously syned on a PC? 

    Follow the steps listed here under the section titled "External Drive".  Once you find the location of the iTunes Media folder you can transfer it over a netork connection, rather than using an external drive.

  • How do i use my existing headset with my new 13" macbook pro?

    the 13" Macbook Pro is missing the audio input socket and there is only the headphone socket. If you look at the 15" and 17" models you'll notice that there are 2 seperate ports for audio input and output. All the description says is: "Combined optical digital output/headphone out (user-selectable audio analog line in)" In the WWDC keynote they said that less than 1% of 13" owers actually used the audio input jack ...
    so how do I plug in / use my existing dual jack headset?

  • How do I get my iPhone iMessages to sync with my macbook pro iMessages?

    I don't get imessages on my macbook pro unless I start the conversation first. How can I get my iMessages to sync together?

    I don't have the option to enable messages for phone numbers or emails in my iMessages Preferences. I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro running OS 10.9.3, with all updates offered.  So I can't sync my messages from my iPhone to my Mac and vice versa.

  • How do I get my iPhone apps to run on my Macbook Pro?

    I want to use on app to edit photos on my macbook. Having a giftcard, I decided to purchase this app on my macbook, (even though i had already had this app on my iPhone). I pressed 'Buy App' and it did take money out of my giftcard balance, but it didnt say that I had purchased the app. But I'm thinking, I must have, because it took the right ammount of money out of my account! But it didnt download, or appear in my downloads. So, then, I decided to sync my apps from my iPhone to my Macbook, and it did, so I can see the apps in my iTunes...but i cant use them on my Mac. Any ideas on what i should do? Ive tried everything I can think of doing. Thanks!

    If you purchasd an App from within iTunes, it is designed for an iDevice, not a Mac. Mac compatible Apps are available from the Mac App Store.

  • How can i use my phone number for imessage on my macbook pro?

    I have been trying to sync my iMessages between my iPhone 4s and my macbook pro but it will only use my email. I have been told to change the setting in the message menu but I can't seem to find that! Help me please!!!
    Thank you!

    TRy to check on your imessage setting on your iphone. It should be setting>messages> imessage. If you can see your phone number then your mac will be able to see your message. If not toggle the message on and off. Once activated your mac will ask you if you would like to use your number for imessage, click agree(0r yes) then you will also receive a message on your iphone that your mac started using your phone number for imessage

  • Can i use my iPhone as a mouse for my Macbook Pro?

    Very curious like i mentioned and i hope theres an solution for this as well.

    oh kind of disappointed, thought i could do literally EVERYTHING with an iphone.

  • Can I use my iphone 4s to ichat with a MacBook Pro?

    Is it possible to iChat from my iPhone with Os 7.0.3 to my parents MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion? I would like to use mirroring with my iphone and Apple TV and place my phone on the TV for use as a camera so that we can essentially video chat through the TV. If this is not possible, what about skype or any other systems?

    HI,
    The iPhone has both Messages (send iMessages to Apple items and SMS to non Apple phones) and FaceTime.
    FaceTime is a 1-1 Video chat app to other iPhones or iPads with FaceTime  and Apple computers that also have FaceTime (People with Snow Leopard can get it and it comes on Lion upwards).
    iChat is a  Mac Only text, Audio Only, Video Chat and Screen Sharing app.
    It does not connect to FaceTime.
    FaceTime on your iPhone and them using FaceTime on Mountain Lion should work.
    Mirroring the iPhone to the TV via Apple TV (Airdrop ?) is not something I have done.  (it's not the side of Apple Products I know so well).

  • How Can I use Type II PC Cards (cardbus) On My Macbook Pro

    Greetings...
    I have tried a search but to no avail.... I was given FREE of charge a EVDO pc card to use with UNLIMITED usage p/month...PROBLEM is I have Macbook Pro original release.. the card is obviously the Type II pc card..
    1. is there any way i can use this card with my macbook pro?
    2. what is the official "name" of my model? i.e. 1st release.. ect. ect..
    3. what other way can i make this work?
    please do advise..
    thank you kindly!!

    Hi Sean,
    1. I found this with a quick Google search: http://www.duel-systemsadapters.com/?productid=DP-0001
    Only catch with this is the cost of the adapter negates the free pc card.
    2. Not sure of an official name other than MacBook Pro and then it's CPU speed and its chip designation (i.e. Core Duo, Core 2 Duo). I've seen the last couple of generations referred to by Intel's designations (i.e. Santa Rosa, Penryn).
    3. Don't know any other way other than getting an Expresscard-compliant card.
    HTH.

  • How do I sync my iPhone calendar entries back into my MacBook Pro Calendar?

    I can't get appointments scheduled via Siri to update or sync bact to my MacBook Pro.  I have iCloud, and I have iTunes synced, but the appointments scheduled in iPhone's Calendar do not appear in the MacBook Calendar.

    If you are syncing your calendar with iCloud on both your phone and your MBP, check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) to be sure you have selected your iCloud calendar as your default.  Then try adding a new event on your iPhone calendar and see if it syncs to your MBP now.
