I have a Macbook Pro and iPhone 4S My wife has a iPad and iPhone 4S How do I sync her devices and mine to mine and never the twain shall meet?
Please can any one advise?
I have a Macbook Pro 15" mid 2012, I also have a iPhone 4S which I sync with iTunes.
Now, my wife has a iPad and a iPhone 4S.
I would like to sync her iPad and iPhone together (Contacts, Calenders etc)
and I sync my Macbook with my iPhone 4S together
But never the twin shall meet. I do not want her contacts and calender on my devices and she does not want my contacts and dates on her devices.
We both have seperate apple id's
All I can think of is set up a guest account for her, install iTunes on that account and put her on that. However it no longer os a guest account but hers.
Thank you for reading this, all advice gratefully received

go to itunes preferences, store, uncheck automatic downloads. also when your phone is connected you can click on apps and only check the ones you want on your phone, go down to the bottom right and click apply.

I have a MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8. I think it's Leopard - how do I find out for sure?
I have a MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8 operating system. I think it's Leopard but the support on Apple seems to show it as Snow Leopard. How can I determine what it is. I am considering updating to Snow Lion so I can use iCloud on this to link with my iPhone and iPad.
Hi, the various cats are:
Mountain Lion - 10.8
Lion - 10.7
Snow Leopard - 10.6
Leopard - 10.5
Tiger - 10.4 -
I would like to be able to run OSX 7 on my wife's MacBook Pro , as I have a new printer which required OSX7 or above.
Her Macbook Pro is Model MacBook Pro 5,5 2,26GHz speed and 2GB memory.
When I look for software updates I get the message that software is up to date.
Is it possible to run OSX7 on this Macbook Pro , and if so , how do I get it.
Many thanks , SamOpen the Mac App Store and download Yosemite, or if you don't want to upgrade all the way immediately, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7; codes for Mountain Lion are also available.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Thanks for any help!To save myself another 10 minutes of typing I'll just suggest you browse this forum for posts over the past week. I know I have answered this question for an identical machine setup in the past week.
Short answer. I'd go with Snow Leopard. Lion may be possible but for a Tiger user may be too much of a jump. For my reasoning read my other posts. -
I have a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 which has suddenly began running terribly slow
I was using AIM messenger and either looking up something on Facebook or YouTube when my computer froze.
It took a couple of minutes to respond again but I noticed that it continually lagged and kept freezing if I kept trying to do multiple things at once.
I thought restarting my computer would be a good idea, see if that would help & that's where I noticed the biggest difference.
My computer can generally be turned on and fully logged-in within 1 minute, but it now takes me up to 12 minutes to do the same process. Once I have turned the computer on, it will take the most time to just get to the log-in screen, after I have entered my password, it is fairly quick.
Once logged-in my computer is running a little better, but still freezes for a small period of time before it all catches up very quickly.
Can anyone help?Hi Melophage,
Sorry for the late reply, I've been offline for a little while.
These are the results, thank you for helping me!

Time Capsule, MacBook Air, Airport Express, and my stereo: where the twain shall meet?
The MBA is wonderful, but, as we all know, not very capacious. My compromise is to store my iTunes media folder on an external hard drive, meaning that I can't play music unless the external is plugged in. When I want to play music on my stereo, I plug the stereo into my MBA, which is itself plugged into the external. Not very elegant!
I've thought of a potential solution, but not sure whether it's feasible.
Would I be able to use the Time Capsule as an external HDD—leave all my whole iTunes library on there and stream it wirelessly to my MBA without incident?
If so, could I then "re-stream" the music to an Airport Express, which would be plugged into the stereo?
I actually have the Express already, but it's plugged into the modem, which is not in the same room as the stereo. So, in theory, all I'd have to do is buy a Time Capsule, transfer my music to it, point iTunes to the new media library, plug the TC into my modem, set the Express to extend the TC's network, plug the TC into my stereo, and. . . voila, I can bring my MBA anywhere and still play any of my music through my stereo. And I'd also have a nifty 2 TB wireless external, certain to last me a very long time.
That's the theory anyway! Would it actually work? Is there a better solution? Thanks!Yes you could use your TC HD for doing this however if you are already using the drive as a backup for Time Machine then doing so would be pretty foolish. All HD's eventually fail, so if you store any data on the TC's HD and also using it for Time Machine and the drive crashes then you will have lost not only your data but it's backup which totally defeats the idea of backing up. IMHO store your music (photo & movie) libraries on another physical EHD and yes a wireless one would be fine.

I'm having lots of trouble finding semi-decent equipment at an affordable price. I would like to start a podcast with two hosts and I have a macbook pro that i purchased in april 2011. any suggestions?
I should keep it simple - if you start getting involved with mixers and multiple microphones you will find the cost escalating alarmingly. If you can get yourself a decent microphone and spend some time doing tests to find the best way of balancing the voices you should be able to get acceptable results. You can't plug an ordinary microphone directly into a Mac - you would need a mixer or a preamplifier - so it's probably worth looking at USB mics. I don't know what cost range is available, and you would have to check that they would work with your Mac. Otherwise you will need an ordinary moving-coil mic and probably a USB audio converter which can accept a microphone - look at the Roland site.

I have a Macbook pro 13.3 w/ i5 that has no hdmi port. I want to be able to connect the Mac to my TV set to watch Video, Photos and files from Mac to TV.
Is the Thunderbolt port similar to a display port or mini display port? Can I use thunderbolt port to connect thru a mini displayport to HDMI cable or converter?
Been trying to locate a USB to HDMI cable or converter (at a reasonable price) but all I found is a displayport or mini displayport to HDMI cable/converter.
What other options are available ?
Thanks a lot for your assistance.Thunderbolt uses a Mini DisplayPort adapter to send video and audio to HDMI. Here's some on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_2_8?url=search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-ke ywords=mini+displayport+to+hdmi&sprefix=mini+dis%2Caps%2C249#/ref=nb_sb_noss?ur l =search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-keywords=mini+displayport+to+hdmi+with+audio&rh = n%3A172282%2Cn%3A!493964%2Cn%3A541966%2Ck%3Amini+displayport+to+hdmi+with+audio

I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone and i have internet and all other functions working on my computer
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful. -
I have a macbook pro, and am trying to update my software. I recently bought an iphone 5, and my software is to out of date to sync my phone with itunes. I currently am running 10.5.8 and I need to update to atleast 10.6.8. Just wondering if I need to purchase it from apple or if there is an easy/free way to update it.
you need to purchase it: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard. It is only on a disk, not in download form.

Hi, I have a macbook pro 10.6.8 and an iphone 4s. I have already created an icloud account. I want my normal mails to be saved on icloud. how should i go about?
I'm not sure I understand your question really, but one thing for sure is that you need Lion for iCloud to work.

I have a macbook pro and I connected a new iphone to my computer. Somehow all my pictures in the iphoto app deleted. How can I get them back, and no I do not have my TimeMachine On. Please help!
If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

I have an iPhone and when I got it, I had a Toshiba laptop. Now I have a MacBook Pro, but when I try to wi-fi sync my iphone and new computer, it doesn't work because on my iphone it is still trying to sync with my old computer. How I can fix this?
Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer. -
