IMac and Find my Mac

The find my Imac feature is not working with Icloud. Any ideas?

You are using 10.6.4, that verison of OS X isn't supported by iCloud. This is cut from iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud
Make sure your Mac is running OS X v10.7.4 or later.
If you don’t have the latest version of OS X, you can purchase it from the Mac App Store.
To get the most out of iCloud on your Mac, install OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8).

No Sync with Imac and Outlook for mac 2011

Hello,
just bought a new bb torch, but it does not synchronise with outloop (office for mac 2011).
no contacts, no agenda.
I can not choose which agenda/contacts.
It looks like the Torch goes to the standard email progam of Imac and not to Outlook.
The only contacts are the standard contacts from addressbook imac.
thanks in advance,
rob

I have just discovered the same thing - if you do a search around the topic you will find it confirmed that the only thing that will sync with Outlook for Mac is contacts.
I've just moved everything over from a PC to a Mac and so to find it not working is so frustrating.
SORT IT OUT RIM - or at least assure us you're working on it.

Can't deregister my iMac from Find my Mac

I recently sold my iMac. I forgot to deregister it from Find My Mac. I can't seem to find any way to remove it from my account. Is there any way to do this? It doesn't really hurt anything, but it annoys me to have a device in my account that isn't mine anymore.

Did you go to https://supportprofile.apple.com and click on the arrow next to the product that you have registered? Once you do that you will see a button that says unregister.

I have a 27in mid 2011 iMac and a 2006 mac mini

i have a 27in mid 2011 iMac and i have been given a 2006 mac mini i have no screen to see whats going on on the mini and there is no os onboard how do i get OS X on to the mini so i can get to use this with a tv with hdmi i have the mini dvi to vga connector and a vga to hdmi lead into a samsung 32in led tv, tv keeps saying not connected???

- You said "Apple dvi to via converter with a via to hdmi cable . What is a "via"? I think you mean VGA.
Just what VGA to HDMI cable to you have? VGA is analogue while HDMI is digital. The Mini DVi out is both analogue and digital (DVI-AD). You would need a converter to convert the analogue VGA to digital.
- Yes, when you boot up you should get a chime if the Mac is functional. The chime The sound indicates that diagnostic tests run immediately at startup have found no hardware or fundamental software problems.[1]

Thus it appears the Mini also has a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It is free.

MacBook and "Find my Mac" app Question???

I recently had my MacBook stolen. I have called the police. I want to try and detect where my stolen MacBook is. Are there anyways in which the thief can hide the MacBook from the "Find my Mac" app other than staying offline? Also, I have two user accounts on my MacBook (User 1 and User 2). Will the app "Find my Mac" still work even though the person is logged onto user 2? I have done nothing to the user 2 account. It's just a basic account for the family to use when they want to try out my MacBook. I believe there was no password on the user 2 account. Please shed some light on this issue. I want my MacBook back!!!

Hello Ipanamick,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

As long as your lost Mac is connected to a Wi-Fi network and not asleep, you can locate it on a map. You can play a sound on it, lock it, or erase it completely if it’s connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Have a nice day,

My macbook pro has been stolen and i had icloud and find my mac installed. If the thief was to wipe my harddrive and use internet recovery, will my find my mac still work?

Hey guys, so I recently had my macbook pro stolen. I had my find my mac turned on and i was wondering if i could still track my laptop if the thief wiped my hard drive and the recovery partition, but if they reinstalled the mountain lion osx from the internet recovery would that erase the find my mac feature? Thank you guys for all the help. Just doing what i can to try and retrieve my laptop. Thanks

Yes, if the wiped the drive Find My Mac would no longer work. The can't reinstall Mountain Lion without your Apple ID or an Apple ID of their own.

NVRAM resets and "find my mac"

After wondering why "Find my Mac" was unchecking myself, I realized that performing an NVRAM reset will disable that feature until it's turned on again.
That got me wondering. If I were to have my laptop stolen, what's to stop a thief with a little know-how from just doing a quick NVRAM reset? My MBP is encrypted with FileVault 2, but still.

Quicktime File Crashing Both Quicktime App and Finder in Mac, but Not Windows

Hi,
     I have a drive full of Apple ProRes Quicktime files. Almost all of them play perfectly, except 2. Those 2 files have played in the past, but I've had problems with them. They've come back to functionality in the past, but now they are not working again and I don't understand why.
     Whenever I go to open the files with Quicktime Pro 7, Quicktime X, FCP 7, Adobe Premiere or Adobe Media Encoder, I get the spinning beach ball and not only does Quicktime crash, but the finder crashes as well. If I go to restart the finder, it never comes back online and I have to restart my late 2011 macbook Pro.
     I've tried repairing permissions and on the Macbook Hardrive and have used Disk Utility and Disk warrior on the hardrive containing the 2 quicktime files. Nothing has solved the problem.
     At first, I thought the Quicktime files might have become corrupted, but I installed Windows 7, using bootcamp, on the same macbook, hooked up the external hardrive and was able to play the quicktimes perfectly in Windows with quicktime 7 (not pro, because I don't want to buy it just for windows). So, there is some sort of incompatability between these two quicktime files and my Macboook.
     Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on?

If you are on Windows Vista and trying to write something to
"Program Files" or its sub folders, write will not end up in the
right place as "Program Files" is protected. What ever you write
might go to a virtual store location. If that's the case try
writing to app storage folder.

Users folder being hidden with iTunes 11.2 installed and Find My Mac enabled?

Is anyone else seeing this? I am scared to upgrade iTunes in Mac OS X 10.8.5. :/

Thanks. Hopefully, Apple will give v11.2.1 directly if not already at v11.2.0.

Share aperture on my iMac and Mac Air

Can Aperture (and iPhoto, if possible) be used on my two computers?
I have all my photos on my iMac and have a Mac Air.
I would like to have them on both.
BTW, I will be buying a new iMac when they are available in a few weeks.
In case that is an issue in having an older model.
The current iMac is about 5 years old.

According to Aperture FAQ, you're fine as long as you don't use it on both your iMac and Macbook Pro at the same time, and if you are not a commercial enterprise or educational institution.

There is no difference between networking the 2 via Ethernet or wireless. Take a look at KB 106461, Mac OS X: About File Sharing.

How Do I Keep "Find My Mac" Running in the Background Even When My MacPro is Closed?

When I close my Macbook Pro and it goes to sleep it shuts off the "Find my Mac" feature, When I log into my icloud it doesnt find my Macbook. When I open the Macbook it shows up in iCloud again. My biggest fear is that someone could steal my Macbook and I wouldnt be able to locate it because it will be closed and "find my Mac" will be turned off. How do I leave Find my Mac running all the time, even when the lid is closed?
Any Suggestions?
Thanks.

You don't. Find My Mac works by searching for you mac when it connects to the internet. If the thief never connects to the internet or never opens your mac (you've got to wonder what use it would be to anyone else in either case, to be honest), then you'll never find your mac.
The only way round that would be to install its own GPS locator like some people do in cars. AFAIK, they haven't build one that'll fit inside an MBP body yet...

Mavericks power nap find my Mac not working

I wanna know if anyone encounters problem on find my Mac when your MacBook is sleeping.
Mine doesn't work suddenly, obviously there is certain app that prevents it from updating location information during sleep.
Here are the suspects:
Utorrent
Shiftit
Xquartz
Firefox
This is so frustrating. I tried wiping everything on my hard disk and find my Mac works. I will have to waste so many hours to test which app is the culprit. Find my Mac updates location every one hour during sleep, so I have to install one app and then wait for an hour to see if find my Mac works during sleep.
Does anyone have any idea or experience on this? I don't wanna waste time on it just to have find my Mac working again.
Apple support could only suggest reinstalling so they're useless actually.
I just started to use osx a month ago and already hate it!

Just one question:
Are you able to find your mac everytime you want? Or just every hour?
I think that the ability to find your mac just happens once a hour, im wrong?
Thanks

"Power Nap" & "Find My Mac" not working together

Is anyone else having issues with "Find my Mac" and Power Nap? Its supposed to be to find the MacBook air when it is sleeping but im not having any luck. my MacBook air has the latest firmware, and find my Mac is enabled under iCloud.
I can find my MacBook air when it awake. Just not with the power nap feature when it's asleep, Power nap is check on under Battery and Pluged in, and it's charge 100% and plugged in.
Any suggestions ? Or anyone else having this problem?
