HT4614 Can I use Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable to copy from one macbook air to another?

Can I use Thunderbolt cable to copy from one Macbook Air to another Macbook Air?

Of course, but you will have to start one of the Macs into Target Disk Mode, pressing T key while the Mac is starting with the Thunderbolt cable connected, so the MacBook Air in Target Disk Mode will appear on the Finder sidebar of the other Mac as an external disk, so you can copy and transfer files from and to it

    An A1260 MBP (15" early 2008, Model identifier 4.1) does not have a minidisplay port.  Until I can get definitive information as to what MBP you have I cannot help you.  Post the equivalent display from your MBP:

    Log into the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up. Look under purchases. If it is not there you may need to accept it or to unhide it

  • I want to use my Macbook Air 2011 as an external disk for my iMac 2011. I connected the two with a Thunderbolt cable and when starting the MacBook Air I pressed "T" and it worked except with Office documents. Can anybody help?

    I want to use my MacBook Air as an external disk to my iMac. I talked to Apple care and we solved it by connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the two computers. I then turn on the MacBook Air while pressing the "T" and it works. I can sit and work on my iMac and grab/change/save the files that are in my MacBook Air EXCEPT for the Microsoft Office files. I called Microsoft and they can't solve it. They say it might be a problem with the Thunderbolt cable. Has anybody have this problem?
    Both computers are 2011 and they both have Office 2011.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alejandra

    For Word it says "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, /)"
    For Excel it says "the file could not be found. Check te spelling of the filename, and verify that the file location is correct. If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure hat the file has not been renamed, moved or deleted.
    I tried this with many different documents, and I always get the same message.

  • Can you use the same Apple ID on more than one MacBook Pro for updates and applications?

    We just got a few new MacBook Pro's and when I went to install updates it said I need to make an Apple ID.  Can you use the same Apple ID and email address for that Apple ID on multiple machines, or do I need them both to be unique per machine?  I'm not sure how that works when you have multiple machines.

    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services.   So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
    To create an Apple ID you need to enter  your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.

  • Can I use an app already purchased for iMac on new MacBook Air?

    Can I use an app already purchased for my iMac on a new (yet to be purchased) MacBook Air?

    Thanks, Niel.  As a follow-up, I need to know if I can also use the same app on a new iPhone and/or a new iPad.

  • Can I use my epson sx425w stylus wireless printer with my macbook air?? if so how do I link it as Im struggling to get it connected wirelessly

    Ive recently bought a macbook air and have an epson sx425w wireless printer which has been excellent
    when used with my previous laptop and im reluctant to purchase another when its in perfect
    working order, I just cant seem to link it to my macbook for some reason, I cant find my instruction
    manual for the printer but do remember it was fairly straight forward linking it to my lap top
    before?!
    hoping someones had similiar problem and has a resoloution !! help please

    I checked the Epson (U.S.)  website, and found nothing at all about this model printer - no support, drivers, etc.
    I also checked Apple's websites, and found they do offer support for the SX420W.
    Maybe this will solve it:

  • Why can't i find iBooks on the App store from my MacBook Air?

    I have iBooks on my iPad and use it to store critical work PDF's.  I went to the App store on my MacBook

    This is why people use Amazon...
    You can't use iBooks on a desktop. You may want to give the Kindle app a try.

  • Can I use home sharing to import library changes from one library to another, on the same computer without duplicating the song/movie?

    I have two imacs, each with multiple accounts.  The itunes source data (music videos etc) is stored in the shared area of one imac. What is the best way of keeping each account on each imac up to date with any changes/additions in the source data?  I felt that Home sharing could be a solution, and it works well by import the library onto the second mac and I can also see if there are any changes by using the "Show items not in my lbrary" function.  However, this only works well for one account on the second mac, for the other accounts it will re-import and duplicate the data . 

    Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move or copy those files as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window when the second library is loaded. If you're using two iTunes libraries on one user account, you only need to locate the files; otherwise, they need to be put in a shared area.

  • Can I use my iPhone to transfer my library from one computer to another?

    I would like to transfer my iTunes library from my desktop to my laptop. Is there an easy way to do this by using my iPhone? I found instructions for how to do it with an iPod but I wasn't sure if that would be the same for iPhone.

    Here's an article that may help. As roaminggnome said, you cannot use the iPhone for this.

  • Use Time machine to back up data from one external drive to another

    I keep my entire archive of digital photogarphy (700 gb) in a folder on an external drive. I want to duplicate that folder on another external drive and use Time Machine to automatically synch and add new photos to this back up folder on another drive.
    My questions are:
    Can Time Machine do this?
    If not, then what could I use to do this?

    If both are attached to the computer, you might be able to do that using a clone program that can regularly schedule backups. Many have free demo modes.
    Clone  - Carbon Copy Cloner          (Often recommended as it has more features than some others)
    Clone – Data Backup
    Clone – Deja Vu
    Clone  - SuperDuper

  • How can I transfer my contacts, calendar items, notes etc. from one apple-id to another?

    I moved from DK to the US and now I have created a US-apple-ID. How do I transfer all my contacts, calendar items, notes etc. from my DK-apple-ID to my new US-apple-ID?

    Hey kristina rivera!
    You will first want to export your contacts from iCloud using the following article:
    iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    You will then want to log in to her iCloud account, then import the vCard file that had been exported from your iCloud account:

  • Can I move an SSD from one MacBook Pro to another?

    I have a late 2011 MBP but am getting the latest MBP today. I have a 500 GB SSD in my current MBP and 8 GB RAM? Can I just move the SSD and RAM from the old MBP to the new one?

    I just did this - moved a late 2011 (15") to a mid 2012 (non-retina).  In my case the RAM would not transfer (2012 machine needed faster RAM than 2011) but the SSD did transfer.

  • Can I and How do I copy from one iWeb site to another.

    I currently have a few different versions of my web site stored as different doman.sites I would like to copy a blog entry from one into another. Is it possible to do that and if so how. I am sure I could copy all the text and all the pictures separtly and then paste them in, but that would be tendious as I would either have to keep opening and closing iWeb between the different versions or have them both open on separte accounts on my computer and keep jumping back and forth between them. Any suggestions? Let me know.

    what exactly would I copy from one folder to another to be sure that the blog entry that I am copying shows up in the blog menu? I would like to be able to copy everything together, dates, links at the bottom, hit counter and all, rather than piece by piece off of the site or from another iWeb account. Thanks!
