Loging out of @me to login to @mac -

Hi, I've been trying to work out a photostream issue whereby my iphone, where I set up the photostreams, doesn't appear to be syncing when I am in iphoto, and I think its down to the fact my icloud for some reason is logged in as my @me account - really don't understand why that is.
Anyway, my other post kind of gives you the background here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21244942#21244942
in essence, if I log out of icloud and log back in, will I lose all my great syncing icloud between my ios devices?
please help as its driving me mad....
Thanks

I am having the same issue. Using Find my Mac.

    How do I enable TDM?
    Make sure both computers are turned on and awake. 
    Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cable to each computer.
    Press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac being used as a display to enable TDM.
    Note: In Keyboard System Preferences, if the checkbox is enabled for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard functions keys," the key combination changes to Command-Fn-F2.
    How do I exit TDM?
    To leave TDM, press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac that is in TDM. You can also exit TDM if you shutdown or sleep either computer or detach the cable.
    Can I use a third-party keyboard or older Apple keyboard to enable TDM?
    Some older Apple keyboards and keyboards not made by Apple may not allow Command-F2 to toggle display modes. You should use an aluminum wired or wireless Apple keyboard to toggle TDM on and

    EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!
    IS THERE ANY WAY TO RETREIVE AN ACCIDENTALLY DELETED BACK UP FROM MY TIME MACHINE DRIVE????
    In other words, I emptied out a folder on my main MAC to make space and the next subsequent backup backed up the EMPTY FOLDER and then deleted the "old backup" that actually contained the contents of the very important folder.
    Now only the emptied folder exists on my MAC and in the two backups on my Time machine backup drive.
    This was clearly a big mistake on my part not realizing that the "old backup" being deleted by Time Machine would include backed up files that I had no intention of getting rid of....
    What can I do now?
    Is DATA RETREIVAL even an option?
    I am sure that the Folder of files that I need are on the most recently deleted "OLD BACKUP" but how do I get to this, if even possible?????
    Super desperate situation here...

    It may be possible to recover some of the data, if it hasn't been overwritten, but it won't be cheap or easy. 
    You've posted in the Time Capsule forum, but you mention a "backup drive."  If your backups are on a Time Capsule's internal HD, instead of an external HD, it's even worse.
    See Data Recovery.
    Good luck.

  • Swapping out internal hard drives within the Mac Pro

    I'm thinking the answer is a huge NO but was curious to know for sure. Is it safe to switch out internal drives from within a Mac Pro while the machine is up and running? Meaning if the drive is ejected from the machine by unmounting the drive in the finder window can one then physically pull out the drive tray while the machine is still on? The same question applies to popping another Mac formatted drive into an empty slot (say from another mac pro). Kind of like popping in a thumb drive to a USB port. Just curious. Thank you.

    Oh, absolutely NOT! Those slots are not designed for hot swapping hard drives. Doing so will most likely damage the drive, the computer, or both.

  • Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?

    Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?
    I insert it into the mac, but the OS cannot load the disc and the disc cannot be ejected even i pressed the "eject" button.

    This happened to a family members macbookpro. A mini-cd inserted, couldn't be mounted or ejected by the drive.
    I cut a rectangle from a cereal box about two inches wide and 6 inches long. Abour an inch and half from one end in the middle I cut a notch and bent it down a little.
    I................I
    I................I
    I....I__I....I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I________I
    I then inserted it slowly into the drive notch down and slowly pulled out. I did this few times and caught the mimi-cd and removed it. The drive has worked flawlessly for several years
    A few days after this happened I was in BestBuy and an Apple rep was there displaying new Apple products. I asked him about it and he said they have a tool that ***** it out.

  • Is there any way I can find out the service record on this mac ?

    I purchased a used QS from an authorized apple dealer at their after boxing day sales event. This QS is extremely quite compared to my polar express MDD.
    Is there any way I can find out the service record on this mac ?
    Somewhere away back when I heard that by knowing the serial number the details of the service record on the given mac could be found. However in those days I only bought new. These days with mac's inability to run applications that require the for real OS 9 ( not classic ) I have to scour the used market. I have some high end audio midi programmes ( for example emagic, cubase VST score ) that do the job and sometimes better then then the OS X versions.

    Hello,
    You can use System.getProperty("SAPSYSTEMNAME"); in your UDF as specified in this thread.
    Get name of XI System in mapping
    Hope this helps,

  • Are there viruses out there than can infect your Mac without you knowing anything. The virus is so stealth that it doesn't give any symptoms.

    I have reason to believe my job is syping on me and i would like to know if there are viruses out there that can infect your Mac without you knowing anything. I believe there is one called "Finfisher".

    FinFisher is an extremely high-priced spyware tool marketed to governments and law enforcement agencies. It's very unlikely that your employer would be able to obtain a copy.
    Further, at this time, there is no known malware capable of infecting an up-to-date Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Of course, physical access changes the rules. If your employer has had unsupervised physical access to your machine, they could have done anything.
    If they have had that access, and you truly believe that they have done that, there's only one way to clean your Mac up: erase everything and start over from scratch. See:

  • Howto open a webpage with Firefox upon login on Mac?

    I'd like to open a webpage upon login on Mac.
    What i did so far:
    - I saved the url location from firefox onto my desktop. It's a .webloc file. Firefox can open this file at this point.
    - Firefox is set up as my default browser.
    - Added the webloc-file to my startup list on my Mac useraccount.
    Then i try. The website will open, but it uses Safari instead of Firefox (firefox is still default browser).
    Next thing it tried:
    - Associate .webloc files to open with Firefox by default instead of Safari (that appeared to be the problem).
    - PROBLEM: Mac/Firefox won't let me use Firefox as default application to run webloc files with.
    How to solve this?

    Hello Zeror, you have firefox as default browser in firefox preferences only ?
    or you have it already and in your safari preferences ? check from Safari : menu > Preferences > General > Default web browser > firefox .
    you can try the above if you haven't already.
    thank you

  • Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and  reinstalled mac os x?

    Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and  reinstalled mac os x?  I know that when a computer is wiped cleaned that the info is still on the hard drive, how do I access it?  Can I pay someone to access it?  Long story short, everything was saved to my external hard drive except my photos, by mistake of course.

    You have to stop using the drive immediately.  Completely stop.  Do not boot the computer from the drive.
    File recovery software: Try using an application such as Data Rescue 3 - http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php or FileSalvage - http://subrosasoft.com, or one of the ones listed in the (old) link below. Some have free trial versions that let you see if the software will help before you decide to buy. You will also need a second hard drive equal to or larger in size than your first drive as a destination drive for recovered files.
    http://data-recovery-software-review.toptenreviews.com/mac-recovery-software
    It is critical that you do not use the computer or even turn it on until you have rescued your files. Files only have the directory reference to them removed when you empty the trash or otherwise delete them from a computer (unless you use secure erase, in which case they are gone forever or can only be potentially be recovered by very expensive means) and are still present on the computer. However, their space is marked as available to any other file creation done on the computer (even done by you booting the computer) and there is risk that your files will be overwritten by the computer.
    Even if the above works, do not expect the results to be pretty or even 100% successful.  Files will often lose their names and you will have to re-name them one by one.
