IMac to Mac book
Can I connect my Macbook to my iMac via firewire to transfer my iTunes library, playlists and all?
Thanks
Yes, if the MacBook has a FireWire port. Start one computer up with the T key held down, access its hard disk from the other computer, and drag the iTunes Library item in the Music folder of your home folder over.

i have one apple id, but the family all have ipods, imac and mac book connected to this account. how do i face time from one device to another?
Hello chlanli
You would need to use one Apple ID for purchases in order to get them across all of your devices and computer. If you want you can use one Apple ID for purchases and the other one to sync personal data. The article below will explain further.

Syncing outlook over a iMac and Mac Book Pro
I'm having some trouble figuring out how to sync outlook over a iMac and Mac Book Pro without connecting them by a cable each time.
Had the Mac Book first and did a migrate to the iMac. Everything is working fine but when I open an email on one it doesn't show that its already been opened on the other.
Is there a way to get outlook to update itself, or a program out there that will do this for me.It sounds like you're using a POP mail account. POP accounts do not send any information back to the mail server, so another computer downloading the same mail will have no idea what has been read and what hasn't.
IMAP accounts do have two-way communication with the server, so you will be able to sync read mail, as well as store folders on the server and have them accessible to both computers.
Check with your mail provider whether they have IMAP access. You may have to change the server addresses and ports that Outlook uses, but they will be able to give you that information.
Caution: if you end up removing the POP account and adding it back in as IMAP, make sure you save your inbox and sent mail to a local folder first - otherwise it'll be lost.

Thanks,
TOsin.This program will make a bootable DVD/USB Flash Drive and the program is free. Saves you from downloading the installer twice. When you download the installer, stop the installation, make the DVD/USB drive, and then start the installer.

I have an imac 24 , imac 27, mac book pro, airbook and Iphone 3G. I have switched to icloud from mobile and all the computers synch with each other but data entered from my iphone in ical won't sync to the other computers.
Is there a setting on the iphone that will allow ical entries on the iphone to sink to my other computers
Thank-youWelcome to the Apple community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings. -

IMac and Mac Book Pro will not stay connected to WiFi on TC
Hi,
I'm a new Mac owner, and I changed completely over to Apple over the weekend. Have na iMac and Mac Book Pro with a 2 TB Time Capsule. Hooked everythng up and all seems to be working, except everytime my computers go into sleep mode when I wake them up they ask me to select my wireless network again because I lost connection. Once I select my network it works fine until the computer goes to sleep. WhenI wake it up, it asks me again. I have it set to automatically connect to known networks, but it doesn't. I have to click on it everytime I wake up the computer. Before I hooked up the TC, I was using my old wireless router and it stayed connected. Now that I put the TC in as my wireless neteork it asks me to select my network. Is there something I'm not doing that may help the iMac and Mac Book Pro stay connected?
Thanks.For that particular WiFi update, yes - it means you can't download it. However, that update may have been included already in M-L 10.8 ...
I feel your pain regarding these anomalies - I had the same problems on my year-old iMac that I just exchanged with Apple for a new one - I had worked these software/network issues on the old one for over five months, and finally, I demanded a new system as a replacement. Just too many problems. For me, Update 10.7.3 for Lion was the cause of my network problems. The WiFi update/patch solved the sleep issue for me, but not the auto-connect problem for system start-up's and restart's. After system start-up's and restart's, I would have to manually select my router address to connect via WiFi. But after manually selecting the address, the WiFi connection would stay-on - it wouldn't drop-off.
Again, with this replacement iMac, I don't even trust its WiFi capability - and with a desktop, why should I ? I simply purchased a Cat-6 Ethernet cable, and wired it into my Time Capsule ... To heck with WiFi ! ... Remember: don't download ANY system updates wirelessly ! Don't do it. ... Apple will rue the day they did away with Ethernet connectors on their computers ... - The same goes for CD-based software, or at least some other "physical" means for software installation ...
But, as for future system updates, and how they affect this new iMac ? - If they screw it up, I'm not messing with it ! - Apple's getting it back, the next day ! I'm not going to go through five months of testing, repairs, forced new purchases, etc. etc. ever again ... -
How many licenses do i get with purchase of lion? i have an imac and mac book.

Log in to the mac app store on your other machine and it should be under the purchase history.
If you haven't installed Lion yet you can extract the installer and then just use that without a need for downloading again

I just purchased Elements. Can I install it both on my imac and mac book air with the same serial number?
Yes. You can install v12 on as many machines as you like, but only two can be activated at any one time. You should not be using them concurrently.

Reading cd drive from imac to mac book
How do you download data from cd drive in imac to mac book air ???
You have to use Remote Disc sharing:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1777
On the Mac you want to share the disc from (that is, the Mac with the optical drive), choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Sharing from the View menu.
Select the checkbox for DVD or CD Sharing. If you don't see this option, download and install DVD or CD Sharing Setup Update for Mac.
Note: If you want to be asked for permission before others can use the optical drive on the computer, enable the "Ask me before allowing others to use my DVD drive" checkbox.
After you have enabled DVD or CD Sharing, insert a disc that you want to share.
Go to your MacBook Air or Mac mini, open the Finder, and select Remote Disc in the DEVICES sidebar list. You should see the computer that has DVD or CD Sharing enabled.
Double-click the computer icon with the optical drive and click "Connect." If the computer that is sharing its optical drive has "Ask me before allowing others to use my DVD drive" enabled, click on "Ask to use."
On the computer sharing its optical drive, acknowledge the request by clicking "Accept." -
Problem accessing Seagate External Harddrive from iMac and Mac Book Air
I have a brand new Seagate 2TB external harddrive which I have just used to backup my entire iMac files (photos, videos, etc) via the Time Capsule programme. However I now can't access the files which apparently have been copied onto the Segate. I have now connected the Seagate to my Mac Book Air and it is not even being recognised as an external storage device.
Is someone able to tell me how I can access the files on the external drive?do you mean "time machine" as opposed to "time capsule" the latter is a back up drive in itself.
before you did your backup was your seagate drive formatted or did you just connect and instruct the mac to back up to the drive.
if the drive was not formatted then you will need to format the drive using disc utility. -
Moving referenced masters to iMac from mac book air
I have searched different forums and posts, and still cannot find the most appropriate way to accomplish what I am trying to do.
I currently have my aperture library on my mac book air with masters and all revisions as referenced files located on external HD. I recently purchased the new iMac with enough storage to keep my masters on the internal HD. I was able to copy my library from MB Air to iMac, and now facing a dilemma what is the best way to move my masters with all revisions to the internal drive on my iMac, and the second question, would it be possible later on to keep them on two places, one as referenced to my MBA on external HD, and the second set on my internal HD on iMac as managed.
I would love to take my MBA on a trip as I always do, import my pictures to it's library, and then when I come home - move them to iMac. I think that part could be easily accomplished by exporting the project and re-imiporting it to another computer, and that should update the library????
Does anyone have the same set up, and managed to accomplish what I need.
I am going to throw another wrinkle that might help someone to explain to me if it is reasonable solution.
I could probably archived the current library from MBA and start the new library, maybe it is going to be easier and make Aperture (iPhoto) DB to work a bit faster? But how to move the library along with originals (or maybe it is just a matter of moving the library to the external HD, and done deal), and that the reference iis not going to be broken?
I hope I did not confuse anyone.Just connect the HD with the referenced originals on it to the iMac and run Aperture with the library you copied over from the Air. Given how OS X and Aperture keeps track of disks there is a good chance that the library will connect to the referenced originals on the HD. If it does not you will need to reconnect them to the library. Use File->Locate Referenced Files.
Once the originals are connected to the library run File->Consolidate Originals. This will copy the original from the HD and put them into the Aperture library. All aspects of the library will be preserved.
Keeping two libraries on separate system is honestly not one of Apertures strong points. There is no easy built in way to accomplish this. There are workflows that folks have come up with but none are really seamless. I'd get the library running in the iMac and once that is done you can look into running parallel libraries.
