I want my Mac book to synchronise with my Mac mini, and visa versa, so that I can work on either computer knowing that everything i do will be accessible from either computer - do i need to buy os x server to do this or is there a different way?

I want to know that if I create a document on my macbook it will be available on my mac mini and visa versa, is there an easy way of making two computers synchronise.
Currently my older mac book contains loads of old documents that I transferred to my mac mini via the apple migration software when I bought my mac mini but unless I always create documents on my mac mini I start to work between computers that makes it very confusing and difficult to manage.
Thanks

Turn on file sharing. If they are both on your wifi network you can share via wifi. Or set up an ethernet connection between the two machines.

  • Hi, I activated my CS6 in 2012 under my student licence and still using it. I've heard that you can't run CS6 on multiple computers. How do I transfer it from one computer to another as I am switching computers?

    Hi,
    first, I'm not Adobe's "slave" as you might to accuse me. Most of the posters here are users like me.
    I only can repeat that what I found in Adobe's help sites, as I wrote above. You are free to figure out the "real" truth and - the best would be - you may contact Adobe directly, here are - I'm sure you know them -  the links I would use: http://helpx.adobe.com/support.html  and http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html.

  • I want to make Text1 required if Text2 is left blank and vise versa

    Hi all!,
    I'm trying to get the javascript to make two text fields required before a form is submitted. Essentially they have to fill in text in either Text1 or text2. If they leave them both blank, the form cannot be submitted. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    You can use this as the script for the Submit button:
    var f= this.getField("Text1")
    var g= this.getField("Text2")
    if ((f.value =="") && (g.value ==""))
    app.alert("You must fill in at least 1 field");
    If both fields are blank, an alert message appears when the user tries to submit the form.

  • I bought a mac book pro 15" with retina display and could not find the user's guide/manual anywhere, except for the wuick start manual. I couldn't even find it in apple's web site. Where is it?

    Apples dont come with say, a big manual like old things used to.  Basically its a just a quick reference guide, everything on specifics is online

    Hi I have only 2 days in USA to buy Mac Book Pro 13" with Retina display. The issue here is that I'd like to get the westerns spanish keyboard and at the apple store the guy said it will take 6 days. I was wondering if I do the purchase within the express checkout, Will I be able to get the laptop before leaving NY on the 7th of May 2014?
    I do not have any experience with the express checkout, actually I do know how it works, any advice please?
    Thanks!!!!

    Call the store on the telephne and ask. However, I doubt it since a store would not normally have an item with non-USA features
    Also, this is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum

  • I downloaded a book on iTunes with my MacBook Pro and can't figure out how to open on my computer.  How do I do this?

    I downloaded a book on iTunes with my MacBook Pro and want to read the book on my computer.  Just can't figure out how to do it.  Do I need a program to read books on the MacBook first or is this something I can get in the app store?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You need an .epub reader.

  • I have a mac book pro, 2006 with an 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, can I update to Lion? to use icloud.

    Apple keep telling me I need to update to icloud but I'm not sure if Lion will work on my Mac. I've upgraded to snow leopard which seems to have knackered my .me or .mac account (whatever it's called now), so I don't seem to have any option but to upgrade to Lion if I every want to see my emails again.
    Apple say I must have a Intel Core 2 processor for Lion to work...... at least I think that's what they say.
    I have a mac book pro, 2006 with an 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, can I update to Lion?

    Lion System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    If you have a Core Duo model then you cannot upgrade to Lion. You can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but iCloud is not available for Snow Leopard.
    Open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. Look for the Model ID in the displayed information. If you have a MacBookPro 2,1 or later then you have a Core 2 Duo model and can upgrade to Lion.

    Firstly, what is the source of the 10.6.4 disc? Is it the original installation disc for your MacBook, or one 'borrowed' from another computer?
    It isn't the retail version, because that's 10.6.3.
    Assuming it's the correct disc (i.e. the one that shipped with your Mac), you need to boot from it again.
    OK the language page.
    From the installer screen, ignore the continue button, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.).
    Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need.
    Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
    When the Macintosh HD volume appears below the drive name, quit DU and see if you can then install.
    If the screen after the language screen doesn't show the menu bar, it may be necessary to use another Mac to do the job with the MB in Firewire Target Disc Mode. If it won't boot in TDM, or the MB doesn't have FireWire then it's getting very difficult.

  • Mac Book Pro Retina with Mt Lion.  Where is the Hard Drive?

    Mac Book Pro Retina with Mt Lion.  Where is the Hard Drive?

    Technically there is no "hard drive" in the Retina MacBook Pro, as all models come with "flash" storage which isnt a "hard disk drive." So if you are wondering why you are not hearing classic hard drive chatter and spin-up sounds then this is the reason.
    Other than that, logically the devices are treated the same, so as Kappy mentions you just have to enable it on your desktop or go to your computer name in the Finder sidebar under "Devices" or otherwise go to the top level of the system's folder structure to reveal any mounted volumes, including the internal drive.

  • I use MB pro with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and Now I have bought MB Air with Mountain Lion,Can I transfer my MB Pro stuff running Lion to MB air running Mountain Lion or do I need to buy Mountain Lion for my Pro to create a backup and then transfer ,thnx

    I use MB pro running Lion OSX 10.7.5 and Now I have bought MB Air with Mountain Lion,Can I transfer my MB Pro stuff running Lion to MB air running Mountain Lion or do I need to buy Mountain Lion for my Pro and create a backup and then transfer ,Although I want Mountain Lion for my MB Pro but can I use the one from MB Air,thnx?

    Hello,
    If you just do a normal time machine backup on your macbook pro and then plug that harddrive into your new air; you should be able to just use migration assistant to transfer all your files. You wouldnt need to upgrade to mountain lion on your macbook pro.
    Hope it helps,

  • I`ve just bought a Mac Book pro 15", did the required updates and since two days ago it freezes. Now I can´t even start the computer. the screen is allways white. how can I solve this issue??

    I`ve just bought a Mac Book pro 15", did the required updates and since two days ago it freezes. Now I can´t even start the computer. the screen is allways white. how can I solve this issue??

    The same thing happened to me... Since two days the ******* thing keeps freezing after a while. Then I try to reboot and the screen goes white and it doesn't boot. If I wait like half an hour it boots again.
    I thought it was a hardware problem, but the Apple Hardware Test founds nothing at all. I think it has to do with the software update I performed 2 days ago.

  • Does mac book pro come with keynote and pages or doi have to purchase them seperately; can i purchase online?

    oes mac book pro come with keynote and pages or doi have to purchase them seperately; can I purchase online? My son has an assignment due tomooorow they use macs at school and we assumed he could just finish it at home and..no Keynote!

    Mac don't come with iWork installed unless you configure it while buying your Mac online.
    However, iWork can be purchased at the App Store. You can buy the apps individualy (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) too.

  • Does mac book pro come with os lion

    I know it may sound dumb but does the mac book pro come with os lion or do I need to purchase it? Tried looking in my system reference and it does not say and if i do have to buy it will I get the update when mountain lion comes out? Thanks for any info.

    >about this mac.  If it says 10.7.x, you have Lion.  Can't answer questions about Mountain Lion as Apple has released very little details about it in terms of what you are asking.

    Do you have a spare usb keyboard? if so, use it until you can take the computer to the Apple store to have it fixed.
    Best.
