IMac and MacBook Pro have difficulties to recognize a Toshiba USB3 HD

Hi,
I've a external USB3 HD Toshiba (Alu store 2S - 500MB) and correctly formatted with Mac OS extended (journaled).
when I connect it on my Imac (27") or my Mac Book Pro, I see the message that the HD connote be read with 2 selection "Ignore" or " disconnect", bat after a while I see the HD icon on the desk top.
Just select "Ignore" on the warning window just to close it, and the HD works properly.
This annoying warning window paper each time I connect this HD on both the PC.
I'm using for Time Machine a 2TB WD "My Passport" external USB3 HD and with this I don't have any warning window at the connection in both PC
Someone can give some suggestion how to solve it?
Thank in advance for the support.
Stefano

If you have a choice of IMAP or POP, use IMAP.

IMac and Macbook pro have same Picture content both are being uploaded to iCloud

Hi
My iMac and Macbook pro have the same Pictures now that i got the new Photo app all the information is being uploaded to iCloud and i am getting duplicate pictures
is there anyway to merge the pictures and only upload one of them?

HI, then try this and before you do this hold down the command keyboard button and then click the pictures that are duplicated and delete them. then try this -
Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings

My iMac and MacBook Pro have stopped being able to find one another.

I have been sharing files between my iMac and MacBook Pro. Recently they have stopped being able to detect one another. When I look in the sidebar of the Finder window, neither computer shows the other. I have file sharing enabled for both computers. This is a recent problem, and I'm not sure what has changed. I may have updated software - but don't remember what or when, as I tend to automatically do so when an update becomes available. I would appreciate any help that you can give.
Thanks,
Linda

Eric,
Thank you. I had all my settings right - I had checked and double checked. The one thing I had failed to do - which is the one thing that often helps - is to shut everything down and restart. I shut the router and the computers down and restarted them one at a time. They are once more talking to each other.
Thank you again,
Linda

Imac and Macbook Pro reset parameters issue

Looking for advice please.
Both my Imac and Macbook pro have not resonded upon startup and I have had to reset the paramters on several occassions.
Can anyone advise why this may have happened. Both computers less than 4 months old.
Thanks

Sometimes files get corrupt or lose their permissions this is normal part of most operating systems. When you lose permissions to a file it will not let you read or write to that file. This can cause problems with your system because to do work on your system you need to have access to read and write to some files.

I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro- can not work on FCP simultaneously when my network ports are on (open). How do I go about changing this?

Hi!
I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro and can not work simultaneously on FCP on all workstations when the network port is open. Can anyone help me on this?

Did you purchase Final Cut Pro from the Mac app store? Or install it from disk? If from disk, you may have installed it on all machines using the same serial number, and using all of them simultaneously violates the license agreement. If you purchase from the App store the licensing is different and that may not apply.

I have purchased the VGA Connectors for both a iMac and Macbook Pro so that i can connect my promethean board projector to the computer and I can not get the image on the screen. Does anyone have any suggestions?

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.

WD My Passport 1TB USB external drive randomly ejects from my iMac and MacBook Pro.
The drive is approximately 4 years old. When the drive is plugged in, I can see the data. It appears to be working properly. The only problem is that everyone of my Apple Machines are ejecting it. Several years ago, this drive connected to Mac machines with no problems. I have tried two separate USB cords. I have updated the firmware. I have tried it on my MacBook, two different Macbook Pro's, and my iMac.
All give the same result of random ejection of the drive and the error message of:
Disk Not Ejected Properly
Eject "1TB Passport HD" before disconnecting or turning......
Searching through the web, it seems this is an common/known problem. Does anyone know the solution?
Thanks,

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

IPhoto not working after trying to share iPhoto between iMac and MacBook Pro

I tried to share my photos on both my iMac and MacBook pro. It deleted all my photos in my MacBook and now it won't let me even open iPhoto in my iMac and gives me the following message "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
How do I rectify this? Purchase iPhoto from the App store?

What version of iPhoto do you have on each system?
It sound like you propbably have a newer version of iPhoto on the MBP - and thay you opened the iMac iPhoto library using the newer iPhoto - if you did you were warned that doing this would convert the library and that the older version of iPhoto could no longer open the library - the error message you list says that this is what you did
If you did the only options are to restore your iMac backup from before you converted the library, upgrade iPhoto on the iMac the same version you have on your MBP purchasing from the App store or use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to downgrade your library

HT5268 Just purchased Imac and Macbook pro and upgrades to Mountain Lion. Java will not run with one important site where my Grandson is in Kindergarten out of state with in room camera. What to do. This is very disappointing and non of apple geniuses kno

My new IMac and Macbook Pro are each loaded with Mountain Lion. Have Office for Mac also
When I try to see my Grandson on webcam out of state the login will not activate. For PC use I needed Java and Active X to let it run. My Java is checked as ready to go but nothing happens. Otherwise these are great computers. Please help me through the process. The Geniuses at my apple store can't understand what to do.

By default, OS X does NOT come with Java installed nowadays. You need to open the Java Preferences app found in Utilities; when you do that the first time, it will inform you of the fact and offer to install the product for you.
Afterwards, due to a major security issue we had back in the first quarter of the year, the plugin is disabled by default. You need to revisit the Preferences and enable manually. It will auto-disable if unused in awhile.
Lastly, you may have to adjust which Java instance is being used, the 32-bit or the 64-bit. Default is 64-bit, but some applets crash & burn or outright refuse to run in such a platform. You can prioritize which version you prefer by dragging on top in the Preferences.

What's the best way to share my Aperture and FCPX projects between an iMac and MacBook Pro?

Greetings,
I own both an iMac and MacBook Pro and I'm interested in figuring out the best way to have access to my iTunes, Aperture and Final Cut Pro X files not only when I'm at home using the iMac, but when I'm out and about with the MBP.
I'm sure there are others among us who require a similar setup so I was hoping you guys could share with me how you solved this little problem, and also inform me of any potential negatives for your method so that I'm well prepared. Thanks.

Best is a subjective term, as it will ultimately come down to preference. The fastest however, would be to wait until they market has a few thunderbolt drives available for purchase...
But like the first poster stated, a firewire 800 drive, would be the more convenient choice for now. Or you could set the shared folder on your iMac to be avaible on your network and use it to allow your MBP to access it wirelessly.
Obviously whatever you change, just save it back to the same folder on the iMac. Keep in mind it will not be as fast as the first suggestion (unless it is a wired network), but may be usefull for smaller files.
However, you should have everthing backed up via an external drive, that is always useful...

CS3 License on Imac and MacBook Pro

Hi
I have 3 licenses for CS3 Design Premium. Two of them are used on a PC and one of them on my machine (Imac).
Now I have recently purchased a Macbook Pro and I want to use the same license as that on the Imac for my laptop. Can I do it?
I am assuming that both machines should not be used simultanously. Now when I am travelling with my Macbook, my fixed machine (Imac) is not really used by anyone else but there are chances that someone might just browse through and use CS3 occassionally. In that case am I breaching the contract?
Is there a method where only when I log in then I can use CS3 on the Imac? This would ensure that while I am travelling people can use my Imac as a guest login but not use CS3.
In any case, my first requirement is can i install my single license on an Imac and Macbook Pro?
regards,
Alim

I have the exact same problem. iCloud drive on my iMac and macbook pro contain some of the same files, but not all.
Files that haven't synced are several days old rather than weeks to months old, so possibly this is a verrrry slow sync issue hopefully.

Home sharing iMac and MacBook Pro: not all songs are playable

Hello
I set up Home Sharing between my iMac and MacBook Pro so that I could stream the music that's on the iMac to the MacBook Pro. On the MBP there are no songs, all of them are in Apple Lossless format on my iMac. I first tried to use "‘share my library on my local network" but because I wanted the play count to go up as well I chose for "Home Sharing". Setting up was simple. After all preferences were adjusted, I opened iTunes on the MBP and it immediately found the shared iMac library. There's now only one problem: not all songs are playable. Some don't even start. How is this possible and what do I need to do to resolve this?
FYI: the iMac is connected via ethernet to my cable modem which sends a wireless Wi-Fi signal to the MBP. Signal quality is excellent.
Also, is it possible that playcount is only available with Home Sharing and not with "share my library on my local network"?
Thanks!

It very well could be the antivirus app, most are intrusive and debilitate rather than enhance performance and should be removed using the developers instructions. You haven't really told us anything useful such as any settting you may have changed. However if you began working backwards resetting any changes and uninstalling the apps added since the performance issue started then you probably will find your issue.

Files disappearing iMac and MacBook Pro with iCloud

Just converted to Apple one month ago buying iMac and MacBook Pro.
iMac at office, MacBook at home.
My documents are mostly texts with Microsoft Word and numbers with Microsoft Excel.
I am using the new beta preview Word and Excel.
I copied everything (15 Go) to iCloud.
Not only the files don't synchronize between computers, they disappear.

You'll have to give yourself permission to the files. Do a +Get Info+ via the Finder, click the padlock at the lower right, and enter your Admin password.
Then click the plus sign at the bottom, and select your user account. That will give you Read rights. Click the arrows in front of +Read Only+ and select +Read & Write.+
If they're all in a folder, do this on the folder, then click the "gear" icon and select +Apply to enclosed items.+ That may take a while if there are a lot of files.
