IPad as Second Screen from Macbook Pro or Imac or both

it would be cool if apple could make an app to use the iPad as a second screen to the Mac line up of comps, like how you can have another screen attached to your comp for multitasking,

maybe [iDisplay|http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/idisplay/id363500805?mt=8] can do what you want.

How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?

How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac? I started some projects on my MacBook Pro but would rather have the larger working area provided on the iMac large 27 inch screen.

Hi there rainyri!
The easiest way for you to do this is to transfer the information to an external drive as an intermediary, then transfer the information from your drive to the internal drive on your iMac. We have an article that explains the steps for doing this, and it can be found here:

What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

the only way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Getting photos to iPad 1 and iPhone from macbook pro with icloud.

Icloud seems fine - except my photos are not showing up on IPad 1 or iPhone. Macbook pro is running Lion 10.7.2 and the other two devices have iOS 5.0.1. I've checked all three have photos switched 'on' for icloud.
What am I doing wrong?
Its sunny here in Whitstable today!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you added any photos to Photostream on your macbook pro.

How do i transfer my data from macbook pro to iMac?

i just bought a iMac. How do i transfer my itunes library, photos, files via bluetooth from macbook pro to my iMac? Much thanks for your help!

I believe that when you boot your computer for the first time and you are following the onscreen instructions you are prompted whether you want to transfer data from an old mac or PC. If you click 'transfer from an old mac' and follow the onscreen instructions, this may work.
If you have already skipped this step you could use iCloud to transfer data. If you make sure that everything you want to transfer is synced in iCloud, this may also work.

Can no longer print from IPad. Prints ok from MacBook pro. Any ideas?.

I am able to print from a MacBook Pro but I am no longer able to print from my IPad. Any ideas?

Hi DanielBN,
I am glad that you are using an Hp ePrint printer, B210a.
I would suggest you to check the print center on your iPad and cancel jobs in the print center and then try.
You can follow the step bleow in order to cancel jobs on the iPad.
Click on the home key 2times.
It will bring up the apps you visited and it should also show print center.
Click on the print center and cancel the first job or all the jobs.
Then try printing from the iPad.
Do let us know the result.
Thanks

Use old Windows laptop as second screen for Macbook Pro

Hi all,
I've recently bought a Macbook Pro (mid 2012, 13", 2,5 GHz). So I'm not using my Acer laptop anymore, but I've came across a discussion of people who extended their Mac screen on a Windows laptop. I've tried multiple VNC apps, but no decent results (lots of lag, only mirroring my screen and so on). So my question is: how can I use my Acer to act like a second screen (I prefer a LAN connection instead over WiFi)
Thanks a lot!

No can't be done.
I would like to see the links to anyone that says it can. So please post one or 2 of them. Thanks.

Can't detect second screen on macbook pro

I have a macbook pro and when i plug in the vga adapter to my computer it doesnt work, but it does work with other computers.

Sorry i was frusterated and just said that.
I have a 15 inch macbook pro from late 2009
I have the mini display port VGA adapter going to a VGA cord going to the tv. I know the cords work just fine because they worked on another computer. The problem is when I go to system preferences<displays and click detect displays, nothing happens. My computer wont even recognize an outside display.

Problems to project the screen from macbook pro

When I connect the proyector, via VGA cable, I can't proyect the screen!!!

Your Mac should recognize the projected as another display which you can manage via System Preferences -> Displays.
You might need to click the 'Detect Displays' button if it doesn't auto-detect the projector.
Once identified, you can either run the projector as an extended desktop, or as a mirror of the internal display. If you choose to mirror your screen (again, through System Preferences -> Display) then both screens will show the same image. If you choose to extend your desktop then the projector's screen will just display your desktop pattern, and you can drag windows from your main screen onto the projected display.
Without more detail it's hard to know which part of this isn't working for you.

Moving Multiple IOS devices From Macbook Pro to iMac

I just bought a new iMac (switching from a PC ). I was able to move all of my families music and movies for their iPod Nano's very easily. I have an iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, two iPod Touches (1G and 4G) and a Shuffle that are currently in separate libraries on my Macbook Pro. What is the easiest way to move all of these to the new iMac so I can start using the iMac to sync the devices without losing anything. Is this a multi-step process to move each one individually?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Bruce

Hi, did you try booting the MBP into FireWire target disk mode...

Or is this not a TB to FW cable?
Is the MBP running Migration Assistant?
Does the MBP have a TB port?

Firewire to migrate data from MacBook Pro to imac?

Would someone guide me as to what kind of firewire I need to buy to migrate data from my MacBook Pro (which is two years old, OS X 10.6.8) to an iMac (which is brand new, but also two years old, it's the older model with a 20" screen). I've never even heard of firewire until I turned on the iMac for the first time, so would be very appreciative of guidance. Thanks!

Note if any of the data came from a PowerPC Mac originally, read this tip first:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
As that older data if it hasn't been through the Migration Assistant can give the Assistant a big headache.

Sharing internet connection from MacBook Pro to iMac G3

My goal here is to connect my iMac G3 (that I just got) to my cable internet connection. However, there are some hurdles in doing so. On the other side of my house lies my modem. It's connected to a D-Link wireless router to give my PC, Xbox 360, Wii and MacBook Pro internet all at the same time. It's too far to drag an ethernet cable, and the iMac G3 doesn't have an AirPort card (and $99 for a used wireless b adapter is ridiculous).
From what I've gathered online, OS X can share it's internet connection with another Mac via FireWire, ethernet or AirPort. AirPort is out of the question since that's how my MacBook Pro connects to the net, and since the iMac G3 doesn't have an AirPort card. I don't have anything that uses FireWire, so othe port on both machines is free, but I also don't have a cable to connect the two. I do, however, have a few spare ethernet cables, so I'd like to get this setup using them.
Thing is, I can't get it to work. Simply enabling internet sharing in System Preferences does diddly squat, and no connection is found with Network Utility on the iMac. What I'd really like here is for someone to either instruct me on how to get this to work, or point me in the direction of such an article. I haven't been able to find anything with Google so far...
Now, my MacBook Pro obvioously runs 10.4.9 with all the updates. The iMac G3, however, is running 10.3.5 at the moment. While I will be upgrading it to tiger in the near future, I kinda wanted to play around with Internet Expplorer before doing so. Being new to the Mac and all (the MBP is my first Mac), I've never used Internet Exporer on the Mac -- or 10.3 at all really, for that matter. So if it can be done, I'd like to do this with 10.3 still on the iMac, though I could upgrade it to tiger if I HAD to.
Should it matter, the iMac G3 is a 400MHz indigo unit with 256MB RAM and a 10GB HDD. It's the summer '00 model. The MacBook Pro is a revision A system with a 1.83GHz Core Duo inside. More detailed specs can be found within my profile on here, I believe.
Sorry for such a long winded post...
1.83GHz MacBook Pro 15"; 400MHz iMac G3 Indigo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I don't have anything that uses FireWire, so othe port on both machines is free, but I also don't have a cable to connect the two. I do, however, have a few spare ethernet cables, so I'd like to get this setup using them.
Lost me there... is it Ethernet cables you're using even though it's too far? Or What?
Should be no problem Sharing the Internet connection from 101.4.9 to 10.3.x.
Just waiting for more info or clarity.

Acrobat X Pro transfert from MacBook Pro to iMac

In January 2012 I bought Adobe Acrobat X Pro for Mac online.
I immediately downloaded and installed it on my 17" MacBook Pro (early 2009).
In December 2013 I bought an iMac and until recently I used concurrently both computers.
When I stopped using the two computers, I wanted to install Adobe Acrobat X Pro to the iMac (Yosemite) after uninstalling it from the MacBook Pro (Mavericks).
To this day I have not succeeded the reinstallation.
For this attempt to reinstall I used two methods:
1) from the DVD copy I had engraved after downloading in 2012: I know that the software is on the hard drive of my iMac, it appears in the Applications folder and its icon appears in Launchpad;
2) downloading from Adobe website to my iMac (Yosemite).
In both cases the result is the same when I click the icon or the app: a window opens asking me to enter the 24 digits serial number of my product; once it's done another window immediately appears stating, "The serial number you entered is valid, but no applicable products were detected on this computer". ...
Does it means I have to throw away a 3-year old product?

Thank you so much kglag for your help. It was the exact thing to do.
I had completely forgotten that I bought the complete version of Acrobat 9 Pro in 2009 and (two moves and an earthquake later) that my Acrobat 10 Pro was an update…
What a pity that Adobe does not mention this in the purchases page of my Adobe account. I would have spare a lot of time and frustration.
Thanks again!

IPhoto won't upgrade! Transition from Macbook Pro to iMac

I originally had a Macbook Pro and I loved it with the iPhoto software. Yet, I recently bought a new iMac and tried to load my pictures from my Macbook Pro (via External HD), yet it says that the my iPhoto needs to be upgraded. I click Upgrade and it says my current Photo library cannot be opened using this version of iPhoto.
Not quite sure what to do. I have to use Lightroom to open and edit all of my photos when I love using iPhoto to upload and share pictures.
Any help will be great. Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
tied to load my pictures from my Macbook Pro (via External HD), yet it says that the my iPhoto needs to be upgraded
How did you load your pictures from the MBP to the iMac? Did you just copy the library package to your Pictures folder on the iMac?
If so make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Click to view full size
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
