HT5019 How can I extend my desktop from my first macbook pro to a second macbook pro

extend desktop from macbook pro with retina display OSX 10.8.5 onto macbook pro early 2011 OSX 10.7.4

There is a software product called ScreenRecycler that will do what you want.
You could also look at Teleport (free), which allows you to control multiple Macs sitting next to each other using one keyboard and trackpad (or mouse). While you cannot have a single app span the screens, you can have separate apps on each Mac and use copy and paste as well as regular file sharing to transfer information between the systems.  I use this at work between my iMac and my MacBook Pro.

    Hi, I have changed from an old laptop to a macbook air. how can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my  last laptop.
    As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
    Many thanks!

    Hi RaulRod,
    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

  • I just buy new Macbook pro retina. How can I change the language from USA to Chinese., I just buy new Macbook pro retina. How can I change the language from USA to Chinese.

    anybody can help?
    How can I change the language from USA to Chinese? I already select in setup.

    If it didn't take for some reason, go to System Preferences… and select the Languages & Text preference pane and reorder the languages accordingly.
    Note however that specifying a language may not necessarily change everything about a system to being in that language.

  • How can i extend the desktop of my retina Macbook using an ATV?

    Hey,
    i know i had this working before, but i was using the developer preview of mavericks in that time. So is it possible?( or is it even a feature that comes with mavericks?) and if so: how would i do it?
    i'm only offered the option to mirror the screen currently.
    Any help would be great.
    15" rMBP
    ATV3

    It's an announced feature that will come with OS X Mavericks > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview
    Until then, a third-party app can extend your desktop to your Apple TV, like AirParrot > http://www.airsquirrels.com/airparrot/

  • I've just finished building a new website with iWeb, I want to build a new site, how can I save the details from the first site?

    Hi There.
    I've been building a new website with iWeb. Its now complete, but I will need to keep all the detasils involved as I make amendments from time to time. Now I want to start a new site on a completely different subject. But every time I go to start the new site, it just seems to be 'papering' over the details of the old one. How can I begin a completely new site without overwriting the details of the previous site, and where do I save the original site details to for easy access.
    Thanks,
    Gerbles

    To create a new site in the same domain file use the File ➙ New File menu option.

  • How can I transfer my songs from my Samsung Note 2 to the New MacBook Air?

  • How can I get an album from my iPod Classic 80GB onto my refurbished MacBook Air?

    Hi there
    I have a new to me refurbished MacBook Air and an old iPod Classic 80GB.  I've somehow managed to get my music off my iPod onto my laptop apart from one album which doesn't seem to have copied across.  Please could anyone tell me how to do this?  On my ancient iBook, back in the day, you could just drag music across to copy it but that doesn't work here.  I've looked on Help about backing up, but it's a bit cond=fusing as the set up isn't the same the Help section mentions, although I must have managed to back up to have the rest of my music on my laptop at all.
    Also, please could someone explain syncing to me?  I've looked on Help, but i still don't know what it means.
    Sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm not that clued up technically, thought trying to educate myself bit by bit now I have my own laptop.
    Thank you in advance.

    Ps Just to add a bit more information, I just realised there are loads of albums on my iPod I don't have on iTunes on my laptop.  I wonder if the ones that /are/ on my laptop got there are there because there got there via me having the same apple id.  I don't know if that's a ridiculous suggestion, but thought I'd better mention it. 

  • How can I connect my imessaging from my phone with the imessaging on my macbook?

    I want my imessaging from my phone to correlate to my computer.

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
              Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    and on the iPhone:
              Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap
              Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.

  • How can we hide the Desktop when Dashboard is invoked?

    Widgets do not display elegantly against a cluttered desktop, nor even against a clean desktop with a busy photo for wallpaper.
    Is there any kind of preference (or etc.) that would cause the Desktop always to go hidden (go black, go solid color, intensely darken or etc.) whenever Dashboard is invoked?
    In other words, how can we stop the Desktop from "bleeding through" the display of our widgets?
    Many thanks.

    Hi ChicagoLarry,
    No way in the system I know of.
    I found this Desktopple Pro widget on this site. I haven't tried it myself and am not a fan of haxies, so use at your own risk.
    EDIT:
    Actually the reviews on MacUpdate are quite positive. There is also a free version Desktopple 1.1

    Bill

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

    If you don't know the sender, then it is most likely a scam or spam email. I get them every day - I just delete them. I also get daily notices from Facebook or someone called Adriana at Facebook even though i do not have an account there. Can't do anything about it - just delete it.
