I want to screen/file share from my Macbook Pro to IMac. I can't see it when I open the Shared folder.

From my macbook..I have a few times seen the IMac listed on the devices list. I don't know what I did to make it appear but I was able to
file share..etc. Now ...when I open Sharing folder from laptop..I see "IMac" as Computer name. Should this be changed? Screen Sharing:On..Allow access for all users is checked. I don't know how to launch my Imac screen again. Please advise. Thanks!

If screen share it turned on with both computers there are several ways to then screen share. First ensure Screen Sharing is selected on each computer in System Preferences - Sharing. Once this is done then open a Finder Window on the Left you will see Shared on the left side, then click the computer you want to share and you will see a screen like the following. From there click where it says Screen Share.

  • I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?

    I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?

    Do it with a Firewire cable (buy a 800/400 adapter if you need it) - the USB transfer takes a much longer time.
    Start up your old PowerMac G4 holding down the "T" key, for target disk mode.
    On your new MacBook Pro open "Migration Assistant" in your utilities folder.
    Connect the 2 computers by firewire cable and follow the prompts in Migration Assistant.

    You only bought it four months ago, so it's still under warrantly.
    Call Applecare or call your nearest Applestore to make an appointment. Tell them your mac has serious technical issues, describe them shortly.

    Yes, on the right side of the U.K. Apple Store homepage there will be an "Education Store." You can get something like 10% off, it seems.

  • I want to move Garageband '11 from my macbook pro to my imac.

    I want to move Garageband '11 from my macbook pro to my imac.  How can i do this simply?  Migraiton assistant wants to move all my apps.  Can i pick just one?

    AFAIK, Garageband is part of the iLife 11 suite, so you either need to move all or none of it. And, the SLA mentions specifically that it can only be installed on one Mac at a time - that is for the regularly purchased (or included with the system) disks. If you purchased it at the App store separately, then you should be able to have it on more than one computer. See this SLA excerpt:

  • A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working.  When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

    A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working.  When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
    I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference.  I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
    Any thoughts about what might be wrong? 

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

    thank you, I have the adaptors so glad that would work.  I just heard adaptors burn out often.  So Just thought for my main iMac computer, a plug would be best.  I will get one once I move.
    Any other suggestions or things I should know about apple products in Ireland.  I know there are no Apple stores there.
    An adaptor doesn't burn out. It merely serves as a means to connect the power prongs on your device to the power supply.
    I believe you are thinking of a transformer, which you do not need. A transformer converts one voltage to another.
    You don't need to do that as the power supply of modern electronics can take almost any worldwide voltage.
    Look at the label on the device. It should indicate the input power acceptable of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
    Additionally, I found the adapters cheaper in the UK than I found them in the US. They were available in most supermarket chains. I wasn't in Ireland, so I can't say one way or the other.
    If you have something that doesn't have that input power spec, it would require a transformer.
    On other items like electric clocks or things with motors, you can connect them up to a transformer and the voltage will be correct, but the frequency may not. For clocks, that will cause them to not keep time well. For motors, they will burn out.

  • I am wanting to transfer iphoto pics from my macbook pro to my iMac.  How can I do this?

    I have a macbook pro that has iPhoto 11 version 9.1.5 that has pictures that I am trying to move over to my iMac into iPhoto on the iMac which is iPhoto 11 version 9.1.5.  What is the easiest way to move these pictures from my macbook pro to my iMac?

    On the iMac: Export the 30 or so pics from iPhoto to a Folder in the Desktop (File -> Export)
    Then go to the Pictures Folder and drag the iPhoto Library to the trash.
    Next: Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Then import the 30 from the folder on the Desktop.

  • Cannot file share between MacBook Pro and iMac, but can Screen Share fine.

    Hi all,
    Very strange problem going at the minute!
    I can Screen Share both ways (iMac - MBP and MBP - iMac) just fine but can't seem to File Share between either computer. They are both on the same network and both have the exact same settings under SysPrefs. I can see both devices in a Finder window and can click the 'Connect As...' button, but once I've put in my credentials, the message in the Finder window changes from 'Connecting...' to 'Connection Failed' in a matter of seconds.
    Both have AFP switched on and neither has the Firewall enabled. I also cannot FTP between either computer via 'Connect to Server...', but I can utilise iTunes Home Sharing perfectly.
    I've tried pretty much everything I can find on the WWW, but nothing's worked! Help!
    Thanks!

    Hi, thanks for your help!
    I think I've solved the problem now (at long last!).
    Somehow, my sharing permissions on my Home folder on either computer won't allow me access. I've tried repairing permissions multiple times, but to no avail.
    I've solved the problem by sharing my Macintosh HD, rather than my individual Home folder and I can access everything as normal now.

  • How do I transfer files/settings from my macbook pro to my new iMac?

    My macbook pro's logic board is bad, so it does not power on. Is there any way to still transfer files or settings from the hard drive? An adapter of some sort? Maybe the Apple Store can when I get the iMac?
    All I am really concerned about is my iTunes database and my firefox profiles.

    Hi landonw
    The HD will probably have to be removed from the MacBook Pro and connected to a USB adapter or placed in a dock to get your data off of it. I would take the MacBook Pro along, the folks at the Apple Store should be more than happy to help transfer your data to a new iMac.
    {quote:}All I am really concerned about is my iTunes database and my firefox profiles.{quote}
    What no BACKUP'
    To protect your data in the future, pickup a USB External HD +(for under a $100)+ and use Time Machine.

  • Remove background picture file name from my macbook pro

    I have a 17" macbook pro with MAC OS 10.7.5 and was trying to access the desktop pictures to copy the images.  I entered a command that I thought would reveal the hidden picture folder and instead my dispaly now not only shows the image but also its file name across the middle of the screen  (e.g. Library/Desktop/Images/Andromeda Galaxy.JPG).  It doesn't matter if I select another image, the new path name displays right along with the new image.  I don't recall the command I entered but can someone help me undo this?  Any help would be much appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

    It's actully the path name I need to delete whichs show now in both my desktop and my dashboard.  The history of my terminal commands in reverse chronological order is as follows: 
    Library/Desktop/Pictures
    open/ Library
    admin$ defaults write com.apple.dock desktop-picture-show-debug-text -bool TRUE;killall Dock
    Thanks so much!

  • My quandary is how to transfer EVERYTHING from a Macbook pro that won't boot up to a new one, will the usual linking with a firewire lead still work?

    I have an early intel Macbook Pro that wouldn't wake from sleep and won't now boot up, i'm just going to replace it with a new 13" i5 but i need to transfer the last five years of my life off the dead one to the new one, there's nearly 3 grand of music software and mp3's before i even think about the 10 years of photographs and videos, some of it is backed up but i ideally want to just transfer it all over.
    what are my options? will linking the two together with a firewire or similar still be possible without the old one booting up (it still has power and turns on but the sleep light is constantly lit but very dim, the hard drive does sound like it's spinning up) or am I best removing the old Hard drive and putting it in an external case, would I be able to access directories and folders or could i boot up off an external drive or would there be hardware compatibility problems?
    without sounding off i'd appreciate any complicated processes be explained in beginner to intermediate levels of "GEEK" i'm far from a pro but should be able to muddle through!!!
    you've no idea how much any help with this will be appreciated!!!

    Since the old MBP is dead the only option is to remove the hard drive and use a SATA/IDE to USB adapter to get all your stuff off the old drive.
    One note though make sure you use the same user name and passord on your new MBP as you had on the old one.
    As to software hopefully you have all the license information written down other wise you may have a hard time reinstalling some of it. Also be aware that OS X Lion will not run older PPC software. So if you have older programs that used Rosetta to run it will not run on Lion.
    Good luck with everything.
