HT5887 What about airdrop between iOS and Macbook Pro?

Will the iphone 5s be discoverable for macbook pro anytime soon? Im not able to airdrop anything between my macbook pro and my iphone 5s.

We are just users, so we cannot tell you the answer. AirDrop is not designed to transfer files between an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and a Mac yet.

  • Pages and Numbers not sync between ipad and macbook pro. icloud problem?

    My Pages and Numbers are stopped synchronizing via icloud between ipad and macbook pro. Everytime I edit something to Pages or Numbers on my ipad, my ipad failed to upload the edited version to icloud. what happened?

    I have a slightly different problem with Numbers and Pages failing to sync between a Macbook and iPad via iCloud. I have checked all the obvious settings. I think the problem may be that the Macbook username is my email address, whereas the iPad username is my wife's email address. However, both addresses are named alibis for exactly the same email address from our internet provider – eg we get the same emails, despite appearing to have different addresses. So I don't understand why the iPad cannot pick up Numbers or Pages files that have been opened and saved in iCloud on my Macbook. Other apps, such as iCal, sync perfectly, but i guess they don't use iCloud. Any help appreciated!
    (We have tried emailing Numbers files to the iPad, but that is very slow and innefective.) 

  • How to synch calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro?

    How do I synch calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro?

    Thank you for your help. However, I still have no connection; could it be that the laptop is signed in through my account and the iPad through my wife's?
    If so, must I delete her iCloud account and reestablish it as mine?
    Thank you

  • IPhoto not working after trying to share iPhoto between iMac and MacBook Pro

    I tried to share my photos on both my iMac and MacBook pro. It deleted all my photos in my MacBook and now it won't let me even open iPhoto in my iMac and gives me the following message "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
    How do I rectify this? Purchase iPhoto from the App store?

    What version of iPhoto do you have on each system?
    It sound like you propbably have a newer version of iPhoto on the MBP - and thay you opened the iMac iPhoto library using the newer iPhoto - if you did you were warned that doing this would convert the library and that the older version of iPhoto could no longer open the library - the error message you list says that this is what you did
    If you did the only options are to restore your iMac backup from before you converted the library, upgrade iPhoto on the iMac the same version you have on your MBP purchasing from the App store or use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to downgrade your library

  • Sharing computing power between macpro and macbook pro

    Hey all... someone mentioned to me that I can connect my latptop and desktop together so that I can "combine" processsing power. I use various music creation software, logicpro and protools and would like to use the laptop to offload/run the plugins and the desktop to run the audio programs. Can this be done? If so, how? I will also post this to the Logic forum. Thanks.

    i must be humorously challenged... LOL... I am using my Macs for processing audio via Protools and Logic. What I wanted to do was to offload some memory intensive programs to the laptop, stuff like Altiverb, Soundtoys and NI software instruments. I generally have no issues running the Logic plugs but add BFD, NI Absynth, Soundtoys Echoboy/Filter Freak and Altiverb, plus Sample Tank etc... and I can melt down the MacPro even with 4G Ram... not so much running Logic but for sure with ProToolsLE.

  • Connection failures between iMac and Macbook Pro

    I'm experiencing frequent connection failures over my wi-fi network between my iMac and Macbook Pro on an otherwise strong, stable network. I can connect both of my computers to the Airport Time Capsule that I use as my wireless router without a problem, but for some reason I get connection failures between the computers say, 50% of the time. Sometimes it works fine, others it just hangs before giving me an error message. Any suggestions?
    OS 10.9.3 on both machines
    Apple Airport Extreme Time Capsule
    iMac, 3.06GHz i3 (2010)
    Macbook Pro Retina, 2.4 GHz i7 (1st Gen)

    Hi jt in nyc,
    Some checks:
    Use Airport Utility on one of the machines
    - Click on the Time Capsule ( enter password if prompted )
    - Click on the Edit button
    Under Airport Utility -> Wireless -> Wireless Options
    Are the Time Capsule Wireless options set correctly?
    - Country -> you know this, change if it is not
    - 2.4GHz and 5GHz Channel set to Automatic
    - Click on Cancel button to return to the Airport Utility graphic diagram.
    - Click on the Time Capsule
    - Click on your machines listed beside wireless clients
    Are the machines reporting an excellent quality at different distances from the Time Machine?

  • Transferring captions between iPad and MacBook Pro using iPhoto

    I have a new iPad3 on which I loaded the iPhoto App. When travelling, I load my photos from my Nikon D90 to the iPad. I then go into edit and add a caption. Once home, I hook my iPad up to my MacBook Pro (2007)(running Lion)(iphoto '11 v9.2.3) and the photos transfer (using iPhoto) to my MacBook without the captions. Is there a way to transfer the captions from the iPad to the MacBook Pro and vice versa along with the photos?

    You cannot do it with AirDrop. Following quote is from iOS: Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content
    You can't use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X users, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.
    You can do it via Photo Stream iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    Or as I do, via USB cable: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    And there are 3rd party apps such as http://www.photosync-app.com

  • Airplay between iPad and MacBook Pro

    I am trying to reflect my iPad to my MacBook Pro. I have the 3rd Generation and I am running OS 10.8.2. When I try to connect using Reflector, I get "an error (-6722) while connecting to the AirPlay device “Sandy’s MacBook Pro”". What do I need to do?

    Interesting question.. I don't think you can do this with vanilla Apple.
    I'd suggest you might Google your request.  I turned up a couple of apps that you might read about

  • WiFi connectivity between iPhone and MacBook Pro

    Hello.
    I was wondering if someone can lend a hand, here. I looked at some of the other posts on a similar problem, but figured I'd just confuse the issue. Here's my problem.
    I'm using a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 8GB and 1067 MHz DDR3. Running 10.8.2 I'm using a recording suite known as Digital Performer 7.24. I have an iPhone 4 with an app called DP Control, that talks to the recording software on the MacBook -or it's supposed to. The app basically has some of the keys on the MacBook software side of things like rewind, fast forward, record, pause etc. It allows you to step away from the laptop, and enable the laptop software. For example: If you're sitting at a drumset for instance, you can enable recording by hitting keystrokes on the iphone app, rather than hitting record on your laptop, and running back to the drumset -you get it. Anway, the laptop and the iphone don't talk to each other. I'm thinking this has something to do with my MacBook and not the app. I have an iMac that can see the app no problem. It's with the MacBook that i have the issues with. I contacted the software developer, but they couldn't help me. I even contacted the developer of the app itself, and to no avail. I figure this is something on the Mac side of things that hopefully someone here can help me with.
    The app connects to the computer via wifi and NOT Bluetooth. So bluetooth has been disabled. I have also deactivated the firewall per the app's instructions, and to no avail. I'm guessing it has to do something with security settings somewhere, or some sort of deep-rooted permission thing. I don't know.
    The only thing I can think of is that at one point, i did delete a user and had to start over with the whole admin privileges thing. I don't know if this would be significant or not.
    Thanks for reading!

    Well, it seems like I fixed it by enabling port forwarding in advanced, enabling zero config in device directory, and then restarting both devices. Not sure exactly what it did, but now I can wifi sync. So I'm pretty happy!

  • Unable to use AirPlay from multiple iOS and MacBook pro

    HI, I seem to be having issues using AirPlay From multiple iOS devices.
    I have the following devices, iphone 6 plus, iPad air (both Gen 1 and 2) an iPad 2 and a MacBook Pro running Yosemit. I also have 2 Apple TVs (both gen 1 and 2).
    Recently I have found that I am unable to use AirPlay on any of the iOS devices to either Apple TVs, the MacBook Pro will Airplay mirror ok, I am however able to use iTunes shairing from a Windows 8PC. I have restarted and also reset both Apple TVs and my router, I have also reset the connection settings on all the iOS devices but still can't resolve the issue.
    The Apple TVs have Internet connection so I can't see any issues network connections.
    ANyone else got got any Ideas?
    Thanks

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Sharing Photo Books between iMac and MacBook Pro

    Hello!
    We created a photo book on iLife 09 on the MacBook Pro and wanted now to use parts of that layout in a new photo book we are creating on the iMac. I opened sharing preferences and opted to share that book, but on the iMac, I only have the photos from the photo book, and not the layout.
    Is it possible to share the book including layout between the two computers using a network?
    Thanks for your help

    Is it possible to share the book including layout between the two computers using a network?
    No. The only way to get a book from one Mac to another is to copy the entire library and run that library on the other Mac. You can't move layouts between libraries, only photos as you've already discovered.

  • Sync itunes library between macmini and macbook pro

    hi!
    I have a MacBook Pro and a MacMini, both running ML 10.8.2 and iTunes 11.0.1. The MPB has a cd/dvd reader, the MM doesn't.
    I have all of my music (and related metadata like ratings) stored in the MBP, and it is in the MBP that I do any music purchasing and all cd ripping. I am trying to setup the MM to sync with the MBP (when the MBP is within Wi-Fi / Lan / Firewire range) so that when I travel (which is a fair bit), my wife can still play any of the music content directly from the MM.
    I have tried Home Sharing and it is not the solution I am looking for as the MM will only stream from the MBP, which means the MBP must be within range, switched on and iTunes must be up and running (unless there is a different way to get it to work and I just haven't figured out how... )
    On the other hand, in the near future I may be getting an iPad and an iPhone (possibly 5) so ideally I would like to try to find a solution that allows me to sync it all across all 4 devices (of which I have 2 now), if that is not too much to hope for.
    I have read a little about iCloud capabilities and a lot of mixed reviews, so I am a little bit at a loss as to which way to go forward....!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    R

    Home sharing may be your answer as you can copy all the files over to the Mac Mini when the MBP is in range so they are always on there. Then in the settings you can set it to automatically transfer purchase. It would do this when the MBP is in range. Hoem Sharing is NOT just about streaming.
