IChat from a MacBook Pro to an iMac G4/800

OK, So I have a MacBook Pro and my kids have an iMac G4 with an iSight.
We have video cbatted once and noe for some reason, I can see that they have a camera but they don't see that I have a camera. In other words, I see the camera icon but my kids get a telephone icon.
When I invite, they accept but it just spins and spins. Any ideas?

Hi J. Christopher,
Also go to the Vieo menu in iChat and select Camera Enabled to give it a tick and make it active.

How can I move my iPhoto Library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac or hard drive??

How can I move my iPhoto Library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac or to my external hard drive? 'Help' is not helping!!

To move to another machine:
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
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.
To move to an external disk:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How do I "move" (not copy) keynotes from my MacBook Pro to my iMac via sharing?

How do I "move" (not copy) keynotes from my MacBook Pro to my iMac via sharing?

Whenever you transfer something from one drive or volume to another, it is copied and the original remains where it was no matter the method you use. It is so by design: just in case you were to delete it on the one drive, you still have it on the other. However, if you no longer want the original, simply delete it and empty the trash.

How do I transfer photos from my MacBook Pro to my iMac?

You can go into your pictures folder in your user folder on your old computer and copy the iPhoto Library file (should be fairly large) either directly to the new computer or to an external drive. Copy the old iPhoto Library over to the new pictures folder on your new computer. The old iPhoto Library should overwrite the iPhoto Library on your new machine. When you fire up iPhoto on your new machine, everything should be there in the same form as it was on your old machine.

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.

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:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Single Use. The Apple Software is being licensed to you as a bundle and allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeledcomputer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one Apple-labeled computer at a time, and you may not make theApple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time. You may make one copy of the Apple Software inmachine-readable form for backup purposes only; provided that the backup copy must include all copyright or other proprietary notices contained on theoriginal.

I have moved everything from my macbook pro onto my iMac. For some reason I cant see any of my music in iTunes even though I have logged in with my normal apple ID.

I have moved everything from my macbook pro onto my iMac. For some reason I cant see any of my music in iTunes even though I have logged in with my normal apple ID. Please help me before I kill something!!

How did you go about transferring your library onto the iMac? There are specific instructions one must follow to do this correctly without causing loss of data. Simply signing in via your Apple ID won't do much of anything unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber.
Did you just copy the entire iTunes folder over? If so, Quit iTunes then hold down option and click the iTunes icon in the Dock. Don't release option until the popup appears asking if you want to create a new library. Simply navigate to the library in the folder you copied over.
If you didn't go about transferring your library in that way, and you still have the MacBook Pro, follow these instructions to transfer your library properly to avoid data loss.
Hope that helps!

How do I get iCloud to share info from my macbook pro to my iMac? I have all the updates on both but I am SO lost!!!

I am having a heck of a time syncing my macbook pro with my iMac. I have all the updates and followed the instructions on apple.com, but there is no communication with either device nor an option that I find to sync them up. When I turn on photo stream on either device, it only selects a few, maybe 1,000 out of the nearly 10,000 photos I have. I try selecting all and then choosing photo stream but with no luck. I know there's a lot of you smart people out there who know what I'm doing wrong. Please help!!!

The following is from this Apple document, iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ, and will help you understand how Photo Stream works:
My Photo Stream
When you take photos on an iOS device, or import photos from your digital camera to your computer, My Photo Stream can automatically upload your new photos to iCloud and push them to all of your other devices.
When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Since your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, be sure to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream.

Transferring info from a MacBook pro to an imac

I currently have a MacBook pro and am considering getting a new iMac, I was wondering if there was any way to transfer all of my info on my MacBook pro to the iMac through Bluetooth or through my wireless network in my home some way. I was just wondering what the easiest way to transfer all of my info including iTunes to the new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet is to use +Setup Assistant+ when your shiny new Mac first starts up. See [Setting up a new Mac from an old one or its backups|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Setup.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Snow Leopard > Installation and Setup+ forum).
You can do that directly from the old Mac, via FireWire or Ethernet (in theory you can do it via WIFI, but it will take forever).
Or you can transfer from the old Mac's backups, if they're full Time Machine backups or a "bootable clone," on either a USB or FireWire drive.

I am trying to transfer files from my MacBook Pro to my iMac using migration Assstance and they cannot find one another. My MacBook Pro uses Migration Assistance 1.0.6 and my new iMac uses 10.5.3. What can I do to allow sharing?

How does one transfer Files from an old MacBook Pro to a new iMac?

10.5.3 is at least part of the problem. You need to apply the latest updates to that mac.
See How do I set up a new Mac from an old one, its backups, or a PC? Select the appropriate link and follow the instructions carefully.

Hello, how can I import pictures from my Macbook Pro to my iMac?

I have stored my holiday pictures on my Macbook Pro and I want to transfer/copy them to my iMac. I have a local network (via Apple hardware) and I have marked the photo library on the Macbook Pro as "Shared". So I should be able to transfer pictures from this lobrary to my iMaclibrary. Sharing pictures amongst different Apple computers seems to be difficult. Even burning pictures on a CD-rom is not that easy it should be. But that's another question. You should find the possibility to burn pictures on a cd direct from iPhoto but the function is simly not there. Yes you can share them by e-mail, Facebook,...but sometimes you just want to have some transfers between your own computers...

You can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy selected Events from your MBP library into the library on your iMac while keeping all metadata, locations, faces, etc.
If you want to import ALL photos in your MBP library into your iMac library that are not already in the iMac library (without keywords, metadata, etc.) you can use SyncPhotos.
Here's how it works:
1 - it compares the databases and/or album.xml files of Libraries A and B.
2 - the files in A that are not in B are imported into B by copying the original files from A into B's Import folder.
3 - it then does the same for B.
4 - metadata is not copied.
It can be used to just copy from A to B and not sync both ways if desired. It will work with 2 libraries that are different versions, i.e. between an iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09 library.

How can I play sound from my MacBook Pro through my iMac?

I have a MacBook pro which I am looking to use for only iTunes or Spotify for the time being but the iMac built in speakers are better.
I am internet sharing from an ethernet on my iMac and the Macbook pro is connected to the shared network.
Can I play music from Spotify on my macbook pro but out of my iMac speakers?
Thanks
James

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:
