ITunes Match on Mac but not Macbook Pro?

Hi,
I have paid and installed 'itunes match' on my main Mac which has my library, it has synced to my ipad, iphone 4, Apple TV and ipod touch but it isnt working to my macbook pro?! It says only one library can be used but I want my music (not all the other stuff) from my main Mac linked to my laptop, is this possible so that I dont have two librarys?
Also, is my entire music backed up somehow just in case something happens to my mac?
Thanks in advance...

You're right it is strange. As it works on one system and not the other with the exact same camera and cable and the fact that you hear the shutter go off even on the system where the images don't show up would seem to indicate some difference in the configuration of Aperture on the MBP.
Do the images ever show up? If you go to the Photos icon and search you're complete library do they appear anywhere? There isn't a filter set on the project your importing into by any chance?
I would make a new empty library and try using that to see if it makes any difference. You could also move the com.apple.Aperture.plist file from your Library/Preferences folder to the desktop, restart Aperture and see if that makes any difference.
regards

  • How do you transfer music from an external hard drive into iTunes on a mac, but not write the music into the mac's internal hard drive?

    I am trying to load an external library with about 700 gigs of music into iTunes on my mac, but of course my mac's inter hard drive is much less than that. Is there a way I can load the music onto iTunes without importing it into my computer? I use this hard drive for DJing so it is plugged in the majority of the time. I have iTunes 12.0.1.26 on a 2011 13" MacBook Pro.

    Do you use both the internal and external drives for storing music or just the external drive?  If both, hold down the option key while dragging media to iTunes to get it to leave the media where it is and add the track location information to iTunes.  A better solution would be to relocate the entire iTunes library to the external drive and run it all from one place.  This will also make it easier to make backups of the library as you should since you are using this in a professional capacity and your livelihood depends upon it.  We can provide advice on how to do this once we know more about your setup (is there an existing library already, and where?)

  • Netflix works on iphone but not MacBook Pro?

    I'm a new Apple Macbook pro guy.  Switched from Window PCs after getting my iphone.  I downloaded the Netflix for iphone - works great, but Netflix on my MAC wants Silverlight.  Is that secure?  I heard you also have to enable JavaScripts - Java is secure, but JavaScripts are not?
    Old guy needs some help :-)

    It doesn't seem like anybody is going to respond to this thread, but I guess I will keep updating it just in case (and perhaps if I ever find a solution it will be helpful to others).
    Since my last post I have been to about 12 hotels in both Thailand and Cambodia.  This issue has continued with some variations:
    * At 3 of the hotels the wifi on my MacBook Pro actually worked!  It seemed to work ok, with minimal speed issues.
    * At 6 of the hotels the wifi did not work on my MacBook Pro, but worked fine on my iPhone.
    * At 3 of the hotels the wifi worked on my MacBook Pro but was PAINFULLY slow (to point where I couldn't upload photos, could barely check facebook, etc).  In fact, it was so slow that I basically gave up using the internet with my MacBook Pro and used my iPhone instead (which had normal speeds).
    I have continued to search the internet for solutions and nothing has helped yet.  It seems like this is a common issue with newer MacBook Pros, especially with OS Lion.
    I have also concluded that this isn't necessarily an Asia specific issue.  It seems like an issue with my MacBook Pro and using various WiFi routers with various setups.  Some work, but most do not.  Unfortunately I do not have access to any of the routers that I am using, so changing router setup is not an option.

  • IPod shipped, but not Macbook Pro?

    I ordered 15" Macbook Pro with an anti-glare screen and a 16gb iPod nano with the school discount plus rebate on September 2nd. I have received my iPod, but not MBP hasn't shipped and I keep getting e-mails from Apple saying that my payment hasn't been received. I'm so confused! Is that why my MBP hasn't shipped?? But why would they ship my iPod if they haven't received my payment?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you checked with your bank or credit card company to see if there is a problem? When I ordered my MBP, I had to authorize a higher POS limit to pay for it with my check card. You may need to do something like that. If the iPod was free with the purchase of the Mac, they may have sent that out just on the basis of the order alone since it would not specifically need to be paid for.
    Contact your bank or credit card company and see what the problem is.
    Good luck!

  • WiFi in Asia works on iPhone but not Macbook Pro

    I am currently traveling around Asia and I have my Macbook Pro and iPhone with me.  I have had no problems connecting to WiFi networks with my iPhone (currently typing this message with it on my hotel's WiFi).  However, my Macbook Pro has had endless issues.  Sometime it works, but often it doesn't.  The most common issue is that it gets a self assigned IP address and can't connect to the internet.  It can usually find and connect to the WiFi network, but from there things get dodgy.  As I said, it sometimes works fine.  I would say it works on 1 out of every 3 networks that I try. 
    So far I have tried the following:
    Renewing DHCP Lease (without client ID and with made up client ID)
    Disabling firewall.
    Turning off wifi and them back on.
    Restarting computer.
    Deleting WiFi service and recreating.
    Creating new "location".
    Repairing permissions.
    Using different login account.
    Manually entering TCP/IP settings copied from iPhone.
    "Forgetting network" and rejoining.
    None of the above has helped, except that one time renewing DHCP lease with a made up client ID did the trick.
    I have the summer 2012 MacBook Pro 13" with OS 10.7.5 installed.
    Any help would be very appreciated.  :)

  • Can connect iPhone to friend's wifi, but not MacBook Pro. Says password is invalid.t

    My friend gave me her wifi password so I can connect at her house. I onnected my iPhone with no problems. But when I try to connect my MacBook Pro I keep getting a message that the password is invalid. It's the exact same password I used to connect my phone! recently she had relatives visit and the same thing happened for them. What's up?

    You would do better to ask in the Mac Forum - this is the iPad forum.

  • PDFs and Word Files open on iMac but not Macbook Pro

    I own an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Recently, I've been having an issue with some PDFs and Word files that have been emailed to me from different contacts. All open—and can be seen using Quick Look—on the iMac. However, on the MacBook Pro it's a different story. When I try Quick Look all I see are the icons. When I try to open the PDFs in Preview (default app for me) I get an error message saying the file could not be opened and might be damaged. When I try to open the Word doc in Word, Pages or Bean I see all of the extraneous header information etc and the text is all mixed up in that formatting junk. I have repaired permissions, cleared out my user cache, restarted—pretty much everything I can think of. But no luck. Thought?

    Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution. Because of its size, I had expanded the screen across most of the monitor. When I changed the resolution to one suggested or configured by Windows, Approach worked fine. I've now tested it on quite a few of the settings, and as long as I let Windows determine the best resolution (on my iMac 27" it seems to be 2043 x 1276), Approach works like it should. Thank you!

  • Disc playing fine on DVD, but not MacBook Pro

    Hello - I have authored and burned discs, and they all play fine on my DVD player on my TV set, but are not playing on my MacBook Pro. I put the disc in after Disk Utility shows it's been burned successfully, and after a few 'tries', it pops out, never even mounting on the computer. Might there be a 'fix' for this? Thanks so much...

    I would start to troubleshoot by trying a commercial (rented or purchased) DVD and make sure it's not the drive itself. It would be strange for a DVD to work in a set top box but not your computer, it's usually the other way around.
    And did you really mean to post this in the Final Cut forum?

  • Tethering working on MacPro but NOT Macbook Pro

    Having a problem with tethering when using it with my laptop. Macbook Pro (6.1), Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Aperture 3.1.1.
    My MacPro is working without any problem. (Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Aperture 3.1.1)
    I have tried both my cameras Canon 5Dmk2 and Canon 20D. Both cameras are recognized in both Macbook Pro and MacPro but only on the MacPro the images will show up. In my Macbook Pro I can press capture and both cameras react but then nothing happens.
    Strange it works on one computer but not the other one.
    Any suggestions?

  • Problem running Windows software on iMac but not MacBook Pro

    I just got an iMac 27" to replace my old iMac 24". I also have a MacBook Pro.
    I am using the same version of Parallels 7 and Windows 7 on both my iMac 27 and my MacBook to run Lotus Approach 9.8 (part of a SmartSuite package).
    Lotus Approach works fine on my MacBook (as it did on my old iMac 24), but when I open database files on my iMac 27, the database screen starts flashing (rewriting the screen in some endless loop) and the program becomes inoperable.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Parallels 7, Windows 7 and the Lotus software on my iMac 27, but that did not resolve the problem.
    I need to use the Lotus Approach software on my iMac 27 -- so I can convert the Approach databases to FileMaker.
    Any ideas about what the problem might be on the iMac 27 or what I can to to fix this problem? Is this a hardware problem, a driver problem, or something else?

    Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution.

  • Airport Express works with my Mac but not XP Pro

    Hello I have an Airport Express that I set up and use with my G4 laptop flawlessly.
    My Problem is trying to get my PC, running XP Pro, to play-nice with the Airport Express.
    The nutty thing is that this set up was working perfectly for months and then quit for some reason. Anyway, the I use WEP encryption and I have the same passwords set for both computers. Now, the PC sees the AE and is apparently able to connect with it but gives the alert that it has only limited connectivity and functionality with the network. Strange...
    Now, as far as I can tell there are two passwords to the AE. One is the Base Station password and the other one is for the encryption. The PC never seems to ask for the Base Station password which seems odd. As I said before, this worked well at one time (with WEP) so I don't know what's going on. I also obviously don't know XP at all so I apologize. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
    -B

    Thanks for the link. I have set the AE to use WPA encryption using a 13 character plain-text network key password. I'm led to believe that this would be a palateable password for both the Mac and PC...of course this doesn't fix things. I should know that simply entering the same network key on both computers would not work. That would be too easy... Well now, in XP under Network Properties it only offers WEP or None for Data Encryption. This is weird right? Thanks a lot for all your help.

  • Getting a 4010 error from iTunes Match on Mac and not working on iPhone either.

    Anyone else having this problem? It started about 30 minutes ago (8:45 PM Central Time, USA).
    Dave

    Hi,
    Create a new blank library. Sign into iTunes then match. This will show all music that is in the cloud - you can stream your music from this library.
    When you need to update your library, open up original library with ext hd attached.
