Is find my computer  available for imacs and macbook pro

is find my computer  available for imacs and macbook pro? please

No problem - if you're worried about that iMac walking away, I'd purchase a Kensington lock for it: I have one for my Apple Thunderbolt Display and my MacBook. No guarantee that a dedicated thief couldn't use a pair of bolt cutters but they give me some peace of mind.

    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.

  • 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

  • I'm a new potential FCP X user.  Can I buy software to load onto my imac and macbook pro or is FCP X only available as a download?  I'd like to be able to edit on the road.

    I'm a new potential FCP X user.  Can I buy software to load onto my imac and macbook pro or is FCP X only available as a download?  I'd like to be able to edit on the road as well as at home.

    Here's a short tutorial video about how to move back and forth between your base computer and the on-the-go machine.  Very important info about which things can be copied within Finder and which things MUST be copied from within FCP X.  Best wishes.

  • HT1270 Used the right memory, both for my iMac and MacBook Pro, iMac worked, MacBook Pro didn't start (warning tone). Any idea?

    Used the right memory according to page, both for my iMac and MacBook Pro, iMac worked, MacBook Pro didn't start (warning tone).
    Any idea?

    I suggest you buy your memory from OWC or DataMem. Both guarantee the memory works or will replace it if it does not, no questions asked, within their 30 day return period. I've used both for over 20 years, and no complaints.

  • Imac and Macbook pro can no longer see one another

    I'm not sure why, but all since I upgraded to Yosemite, I can no longer see my iMac on my Macbook Pro and vice versa. I could always see the computer that I needed to connect to in finder, or I could connect with my iCloud password. As of today, I can no longer access my iMac from my Macbook Pro and that's a problem. If someone could provide directions (dumbed down version) explaining how to connect the computers from scratch, I would greatly appreciate it. I am fine with setting it up again but I can't recall how I did it.  Thanks so  much. I did upgrade both my iMac and MacBook pro to Yosemite over the weekend.

  • 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. 

  • IMac and Macbook Pro no longer connecting to the Wifi?

    Hi there,
    I've been in London this weekend, only to return home to find issues connecting to my wifi. Weirdly, it's only the iMac and Macbook Pro having trouble, everything else is connecting fine e.g iPad, Phone, Android Tablet etc.
    I'm getting disconnected around every 20 seconds and cannot figure it out! It's so frustrating as I'm wondering if there's been an update released for OS X that it has downloaded recently? Especially seeing that when I run windows from bootcamp on my iMac, it doesn't disconnect. And I also don't believe it's an issue with the hub.
    Has anyone got any suggestions? I've tried removing the network and re-adding, help for about an hour but still not much use.
    Thanks, Matt

  • 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...

  • IMac and Macbook Pro WoW gaming

    Hi!
    I currently own a macbook, and I need to upgrade if I want to play WoW in a decent quality.
    However, I could NOT find any decent information about performance on the new iMac and Macbook Pro machines.
    Would it be possible that if any owner that plays WoW could set graphics to Highest possible settings and post their frames per second in Dalaran for example? Mac details and specs would be very appreciated, specially for the graphics card.
    Maybe this is not the place for this post, but I hope someone help me out on this. =)
    Thanks!

    The server and type of connection are also important. I get pretty bad latency over WiFi, for example, and the Gul Dan server has been really slow of late. I have 20M down / 5M up to the house and 801.11g router. With my 2007 MBP over wireless (good connection), I generally get in the mid 40's to 50's in the Outlands, but got 6 when I logged in last night (by the time I logged out, it had crept up to about 35).
    On my 2007 24" iMac (C2D w/ the NVidia option -- last of the white models), I generally get 100-110 at 1900x1200 -- and that's using 100Mbps ethernet to the switch plugged into the ONT.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
