IMac MacBook Air PowerPoint

Requesting help from the Community to problem solve this presentation problem:
I want to project a PowerPoint presentation from an iMac 7,1 to a digital projector, control the presentation by remote, and (this is the hard part) use my MacBook Air 3,2 at the podium to prompt me on the presentation with PowerPoint’s Presenter Tools page.
I’m running OS X Version 10.6.8 and PowerPoint 2008 on both computers. How do I connect the two computers and the projector? And how do I run the PowerPoint show from the iMac and the PowerPoint Tools page from the MacBook Air simultaneously?

I think I may have found the source of this problem, at least in my case. When I mount the Mac Pro's share on the client MacBook Air and do an "ls -la" in Terminal, I can see that the file owners listed for the remote files map to a different user than the one I'm using to connect to the Mac Pro. The reason for this is that, while I'm using the same credentials (username/password) on both machines, the associated user accounts have different UIDs on both machines. The user account on the Mac Pro has UID 501, on the MacBook Air it's 502 (501 is a test account I created during installation of the Air).
The problem is explained pretty well here:
http://superuser.com/questions/249454/mac-os-10-6-shared-network-folder-problems
A fix for this issue is detailed here:

I haven't gone through the procedure yet, but I'm pretty sure this is what's causing the problem. And while this UID issue may be intended behaviour under Unix-based systems, Mac OS and/or AFP are sure doing a bad job of handling it correctly.

I am changing to iCloud on my iMac, MacBook Air and my iPhone. My iMac and MacBook both moved over to iCloud but my iPhone when I go to Settings and click on iCloud it shows my Mail setting turned Off. When I turn it on it wants me to create a new email address to turn on iCloud Mail. I already have to "me" accounts plus another email address and don't want to create another one. I don't understand why it's asking me to do this on my iPhone but didn't ask on my iMac or MacBook and is there a way around creating another @me.com email address?

Hi vichochile,
If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -

ICal - I want my iMac, MacBook Air, and iPad to all "talk" and share iCal entries. How can I get this to happen?

I am hesitant to run the Migration Assistant for this reason. I just want to enter an appointment on my desktop iMac and for it to show up in iCal on both my MacBook Air and iPad as well. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Jo Beth

Once you configure iCloud preferences on your MBA it should automatically fetch your info from the cloud. Be sure that you set up your iCal account on the MBA.

MacBook Pro 13" vs 15" vs iMac + Macbook Air?

So, my Late-2011 15" Macbook Pro has finally run its course and I'm in need of a new computer.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure exactly where to start. I like a lot of the bells and whistles because I'm on my computer a lot, but I'm not sure how many of them I actually use, so I was hoping that I could get some advice about which set up is the most practical for my needs but gives a lot of bang for the buck.
I am both a writer and a current education major about to go into student teaching. As such I will be doing a lot of presentations and papers and will probably use Word and Internet the most on my computer. I also multitask A LOT, so it's pretty important that my computer is able to keep open five different apps with one of them being Chrome with 8 tabs open. I also have my entire iTunes library on my computer because I listen to music and audiobooks a lot and I also watch TV pretty frequently on my computer. I do some minor video editing for class as well as picture editing for fun.
I must have some amount of portability so I can take my laptop to class with me (we're required to have Apple laptops in my education class) but I really didn't mind carrying around the 15" Pro. Weight's not a huge issue for me. I also like to have portability so I can hang out with my roommates down in the living room and do homework with them. However, I also like a pretty good amount of storage so that I can store all of my word documents (and I have tons) as well as my presentations, my iTunes library, and my substantial picture and video libraries as well.
I want to have this computer for upwards of 4-5 years, so to some extent I'd like to have it future proof and really reliable.
With that said, I've come up with some options that I think might meet my needs.
1.) 15" Macbook Pro Retina: 2.5 GHz Quad Core; 256 GB Flash Storage; 16 GB RAM
2.) 15" Macbook Pro Retina: 2.2 GHz Quad Core; 512 GB Flash Storage; 16 GB RAM
3.) 13" Macbook Pro Retina: 2.8 GHz Dual Core; 512 GB Flash Storage; 8 GB RAM
4.) 13" Macbook Pro Retina: 2.8 GHz Dual Core; 512 GB Flash Storage; 16 GB RAM
5.) 21" iMac: 2.7 GHz Quad Core; 1 TB Fusion Storage; 8 GB RAM (AND) 11" Macbook Air: 1.4 GHz Dual Core; 128 GB Flash Storage; 4 GB RAM
So, yeah, which one is the most cost effective to meet my requirements?

Hey There amyenne22,
There certainly are a lot of options for your computing needs ... based on your requirements above, I'd like to offer a few additional suggestions to consider. I would suggest option 2 above as the 15" MacBook Pro is going to be your primary computer for school/work and the screen you will be looking at the most. It is also a powerful video editing tool.
I would also suggest keeping your personal "entertainment" - music, photo and video libraries on an external portable drive (with a complete backup on a second local external drive). This will free up the internal hard drive for your school/work documents.
Regarding option 5 above: If you have a TV with HDMI, you can use it with an Apple TV to mirror what you see on your computer or iOS device to a larger screen. You really don't need to buy two computers.

No problem with iMac, MacBook Air, but no joy with iPod touch

I switched ISP last week, and while I was able to link Mail with a MacBook Air, I hit disaster when I tried to do likewise with iPod Touch. I have my email with one ISP, but the new ISP gives me better broadband, and so I must use their SMTP. At first I had no problem as I inserted the correct Incoming and outgoing settings. Now I can't get past the first step of the new account box. That box throws up a webmail address I never had, and an Stmp I dispensed with last week. When I proceed to insert the correct settings, I get a message that my email service won't work. At my wits end with this. Can anyone help? Please.

Do the incoming and outgoing mail server settings match those of what is shown on your MacBook Air?

Intel iMac macbook air

After 2.5 hours of migrating iMac info thru Airportto the Air, some features are unavailable on the Air: iphoto "can not be opened", and "can not load preferance pane" for Desktop & Screensaver, Spotlight, and Energy Saver. Any ideas how I might get these features going again would be greatly appreciated.
Also, in checking Preference Panes(pains) I noticed the following and I'd not sure how to handle if at all. Some consequitive listings show the following extensions: .plist , .plist.lockfile , .plist~orig and I don't know if I should delete any or all of these. Could these files be in conflict?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

How can i better manage and sync contacts and calendars between iPhone, iMac, Macbook air and iPad?

Hello I love MAC products and own quite a few but am still having a tough time synchronizing everything "under the same common roof" despite using "icloud". Does anyone have 4 duplicates for the same contact on an 1000 contact database (with Group contacts, MAC contacts, Icloud contacts etc...) what a headache!Thanks for any suggestions.

Simply on the iPhone in the iCloud preferences turn off the contacts sync. It will ask if u wanna delete or not the contacts on the iphone. You answer to leave the Contacts on iphone. After that proceed to delete all contacts from all u're other devices and the iCloud site. A way to do it fast is to deselect the contact sync on icloud options in every device and when asked tell to delete the contacts from device. When u're sure that all other devices contacts are clean turn again on the contacts sync on the iCloud preferences for each device and at last the iPhone. After few the iPhone contacts will be sync to other device so u'll have same Contacts on all device. In this way when u'll made a change on one of u're device all other will have same change.

How to link iMac to MacBook Air?

I have a mid 2011 iMac and a MacBook Air. How can I link the computers so that everything I do on one automatically shows up on the other? I do a lot with Word and PowerPoint especially and am currently having to transfer files with a flash drive or the screen share function.

Try a 3rd party solution such as Dropbox or Google Drive. You can also use Keynote and Pages instead of PowerPoint and Word, respectively, which will automatically sync across your computers using iCloud.
You can also use Keynote and Pages for free on www.icloud.com or you can buy it from the Mac App Store.

Movies from iMac 27 do not show up on macbook air

I have 24 home-made movie that show up on my main computer, iMac 27, two iPads and and iPhone5. However, I am baffled how to get the same movies to show up on my Macbook Air. I've tried Sharing the Library, turning Sharing off and on on both compueters, and many other obvious possibilities. This is baffling me. Has anyone else had the same situation and a solution to go with it?
Thank you,
Steve Roesler

Hello, Steve.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need a little more information on this issue to provide a better answer. Are these movies in your iTunes library? If not see the steps in the first article below. Some imported movies do show as Home Videos when imported. If these are in your iTunes library, see the troubleshooting steps in the second article below.

Help!

Deleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud. In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens. Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device. It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days. When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question. However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload). Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this. If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account.
