I have a MacBook Pro, an Ipad and an I-Phone, and here's the problem (unless I'm wrong, and I would love to be corrected on this.)  If I change a contact's information in Address Book (new email, new address, etc.) I have to do it on all 3 devices!  Synci

I have three APPLE products however my frustration comes from the understanding that if I change information on a Contact in Address Book on my computer, when I sync my devices, the old information will come back to my Address Book Contact from my other devices!  ONE DEVICE NEEDS TO BE THE BOSS!  I think it's crazy that I have to manually correct change of address, email info, whatever changes for one contact, MANUALLY on all three devices so that the information is the same.  I've deleted old email addresses from my computer, just to have that old email address reloaded from one of my other devices during a sync.  Is there a solution for this?

I see what your problem is. You are physically connected the devices. It would be better if the information was in iCloud. Then they all would sync instantly.

  • I have a macbook pro with 10.6.8 on it but I need to do a clean re install and my CD is 10.4.6. Can I use the CD and then are my OS updates to 10.6.8 free?

    Also can I use iMac OS install disks on a MacBookPro?

    You will have to buy Snow Leopard:
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order. You also should find it at your local Apple retailers.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.

  • I have a Macbook Pro. I updated to 10.9.4 an downloaded the trial for Creative Cloud. It downloaded and installed but will not open. I shut down and tried reinstalling. Same problem.

    Thanks.

    I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and  download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.
    Thanks

    my macbook pro is crashing any clues on how to track down the problem?
    I'm running OS X 10.9.5 on a Late 2008 Macbook Pro... 8GB of memory... I've swapped the original drive for an SSD.

  • Can you transfer an album you have on macbook pro to ipad wirelessly?

    Hi everyone, as the question says can you transfer an album or selected photos from macbook pro to ipad and visa versa, wirelessly?
    If so how do you do it?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Yes, you can. Make sure they are both set to the same wireless network, choose the option to sync over wifi, and then choose the photo album in itunes that you would like to sync, then click sync

  • HT3964 My MacBook Pro i5 Dual Core has a hardtime waking up when the computer is put to sleep and only when it goes to sleep and has been asleep for a while. The indicator light flashes on and off for a while and then freezes. I've done an SMC reset once.

    Does any one have the same problem with their MacBook Pro i5 Intel Dual Core?  If the computer goes to sleep (not the screen) and is asleep for a while, when I try to wake it up it doesn't respond. I have to power it downn and restart it and sometimes it takes two or three attempts. Otherwise it works fine. I upgraded the memory to 8 GB. That is the only alteration doen to it. I've performed one SMC restart and now it wakes up  but it takes a while and a gray screen shows up. When I insert a DVD it won't start automatically I have to start the application in order to see it. Any suggestions?

  • I have a MacBook Pro. I was gone for 30 days and when I got back it tells me that my startup disk is full. I have a 500 GB drive and it shows that I have about 500 MB available. It constantly changes.  How do I fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro that is telling me my startup disk is full. I left for 30 days and when I came back to use it, it tells me that the disk was full out of 500 GB. I don't have that much on it and it was perfectly fine when I left.  I Verified the disk through disk utility and it told me it had issues so then I repaired it and it said everything is fine. It still says the hard drive is full. How do I fix this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This suggests you don't have the right operating system. OS X 10.7.2 or better is required for iCloud, which operating system do you have.

  • I have a Macbook Pro 2010 I think and its not powering on what should I do?

    I have a Macbook pro 2010 I think. When I plug it in the little light on the charge cable goes green but when I press the power button nothing happen no fans no noises nothing someone please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, it sounds like you can't but you may be able to use a 3rd party solution.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

  • MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8/2.8 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo/with 4 G memory and would like to hook up an external monitor.

    I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8/2.8 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo/with 4 G memory and would like to add an external monitor.  I have the usual ports; 2 USBs, Ethernet, as well as a couple small ports that I do not know what they are for...  sorry .  First of all, is it possible to add a monitor or TV screen for a larger screen when using?  Secondly, if this can be done, what do I need to buy?
    Thanks so much!

    Yes, it should be possible. I think every MacBook Pro ever sold has some kind of port for an external monitor. You would have to nail down which kind of port your MBP has and where on your MBP it is located.
    Can you find the little "getting started" pamphlet, manual, or PDF that came with it? It should name the connectors.
    My guess? If the only ports you have besides USB and Ethernet are smaller than those, you could have a Mini DisplayPort.

  • In address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc. What do I need to do?

    in address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc like I could on my 2007 macbook pro. What do I need to do? 

    The issue has nothing to do with your MacBook Pro. You are using a different version of OS X.
    If you are using Apple's Mail application, it will search both previous contacts and the address book as you type the send address.

  • I have a MacBook pro and an IPAD.  My MacBook gets wi fi but my IPAD does not ... and yet both have been connecting to the Internet for four years. Why isn't my IPAD connecting now?

    I have a macbook pro and an ipad ... both have which regularly connected to the web through my airport for two years ... now, my ipad won't connect ... and the genius bar says my ipad is ok. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the cause and the cure?

    Can your iPad connect to other Wi-Fi networks? If so, is it possible that you may have configured your AirPort to restrict access to the iPad by including the iPad's MAC address in the AirPort's Timed Access Control settings?
