MacBook to main computer problems..

I have a main computer that i sync my ipad and phone to and i recently got a Macbook, i did home sharing and it worked fine, but i bought four movies on my mac and now i can't get them on my main computer. I've tried everything. Please help!!

hello, people.
I'm trying to sync my mac to Sony Bravia as well.
And it was tough.
But on my last try I find a way.
You have to put a resolution 640 x 480 on your mac
and 1920 x 1080 on Sony TV.
After that, you have to go on menu of your TV and follow the steps:
ajustes > canais de entrada > controle de entradas
I know the names in portuguese.
But in english should be the same.
And set you PC from AUTO to "SEMPRE"
The TV is already set on AUTO (automatic)
It works and I really happy.
I wish it works for you too
Good luck

    Why am I unable to connect to the internet? I am next to my main computer which has no problems.

    Try the iPad forum, then:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/using_ipad
    You'll need to include full details, including the model of iPad, the version of iOS, the exact nature and symptoms of the problem, and what if anything you've tried for correcting the problem.

  • Does the Macbook Air make a good "Main" Computer?

    I was thinking of selling my Mid-2010 model 17" Macbook Pro in favor of one of the new Macbook Air's rumored (and likely) to be coming out. However, I use my current Macbook Pro as my "Main" computer...schoolwork, surfing the web, watching YouTube videos, facebook, email, and the occasional games like N.O.V.A. 2 and I also have a lot of iTunes songs, Movies, and Apps on there. ...so my question is for those with a current Macbook Air, does it make a good "Main" Computer for what I would intend to use it for? Or should I just stick with my Macbook Pro? (BTW I have only used about 196GB out of my 500GB Harddrive)

    Sticky question. What does "a lot" of music and movies mean?
    Given how much HD you've used up, you could certainly get a 13" MBA and have plenty of HD left over; and I think the latest models, especially if you get as much RAM as you can and such, should be more than powerful enough to do all you want to do and be your primary computer. Of course, you should go to a store and be sure you're okay with less screen real estate to watch those movies and play those games. It could be a bit of a shock to go from that 17" wide to a more modest 13".
    I think the real question you need to ask yourself is less a matter of what you're doing now than what you plan on doing in the future. If there is really nothing you need a 17" 500g Pro for, if you're not going to go into computer graphics, movie making or any of those professions where such a machine is almost essential, then by all means, go MBA. Likewise if you aim to do more traveling. I think you'll find the weight difference alone between the two machines worth the switch, not to mention the beauty of SSD which, currently, you can't get on Pros without paying a lot.

  • How to "In Effect" Turn Off Time Zone on iCal AND main computer

    I am hopeful that this will help those of us who don't want to have any form of Time Zone on our computers or iCal. I read some of the other posts and see that it does not appear an option to completely turn off all Time Zones on the computer and iCal.
    What I am thinking about doing, is trying to "Trick" my computer & ical into thinking it doesn't ever go anywhere and thus leaves all of my appointments where they are - no matter what time zone I am actually in.
    I hope those of you more knowledgable can please help me see if this will work, or not?
    I am hoping that by leaving Time Zone Support turned "Off" in iCal and leaving my computer at a 'manual' Mountain Time Zone (meaning I don't have it set to have it automatically set to the right time - I will set it manually), my appointments will stay put (not move around 8 hours when I go to Italy &/or back to the US)?
    I can set the time "manually" to the correct time when I am in either US or Italy so my computer will reflect the current time, but still be set in Mountain Time Zone? Will the alarms still work on calendar events?
    The only drawback I can see so far, is that all of the times on emails are messed up (i.e., off by 8 hours) when I am actually in Italy because I still do have the main computer time zone set as Mountain Time - US.
    I am willing to live with this (I think?) if it leaves my appointment times alone.
    Someone on a similar thread had wanted iCal to function like a paper planner - that is exactly what I am looking for as well! (it looked like that thread was a bit older, so that's why I posted this new question. It is my first on this type of forum, so forgive me if I am doing something wrong - and please advise! :~)
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I am being driven crazy by, what I suppose to be, the same issue. I have used the Time Zone Support feature to somewhat limited success.
    I frequently travel between different time zones am confused on how to set up iCal to show the times of my events *in the place where they occur*. When I am in LA and I have a concert in Chicago later in the week, I don't need to know what time the Chicago concert is in LA.
    Syncing my Treo 650 adds another problem. Publishing the calendars adds another as the published times are not listed in the time zone where the events occur but rather what time zone my laptop is in.
    This seems simple to me, but I may be missing something. Here are my wishes:
    1. As I travel with my MacBook Pro that I can change my Date and Time preference to actually list the time zone where I am. Easily done...but...
    2. That the event times in iCal are unaffected by the changing of the Date and Time preference adjustment...(after all the concert in Chicago is still at 3pm on Friday, even if I am in Tokyo on Monday. I need to know the time of the Chicago concert in Chicago time, not Tokyo.)
    3. That calendars that I publish list the time in the place where the event occurs. I have students that need to know their lesson times but are consantly confused because the published times reflect whatever time zone I happen to be in...not where the lessons take place.
    4. That when I sync my Treo the event times automatically adjust to whichever time zome the treo picks up off the network time server. When I land in a new time zone, I need to know the the rehearsal starts at 10, in the city where I have just arrived.
    I have recently switched to the Apple PIM apps from Entourage...where, if I never changed the time zone, everything was fine.
    Sorry for the longish cry for help.
    Thanks

    My IPad2 just got fixed at the Apple Store, but it looks like they loaded up the latest iOS. When i got it home and mated it to ITunes(MacBook Pro), I was prompted to load the latest OS into my main computer which now runs on OS X version 10.5.8...how do i get the latest OS so i can get the latest iTunes and am i looking at problems with the MacBook buy leap frogging so many OS's?

    Buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Install it, update to OS X 10.6.8 using Software Update, and then you'll be all set with iOS 7.

  • How do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer

    how do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer. Baiscally the problem is that one comuter and one account has always been sued for eey persons itunes. Now if we want to be able to backup and use itunes on our own computers fro our iphones and such, how will all he data that is on our phones not be deleted once its plugged into a new computer? Also, is theere a way to get all the stuff on thw current itunes onto each computer, via differtn account name?

    option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

  • My main computer broke, can i use one of the 5 authorize computers to purchase and download songs

    My main computer broke, and I want to know if I can still purchase and download songs to my apple devices using one of my five authorize computers? It is my wife's computer and she also uses itunes. Can I log her off and use my log-in?

    Thanks for your reply, Niel. Basically, I can log in into my wife's computer, log in and download new music I purchased or from a CD into my ipad/iphone/ipod with out a problem since is one of my 5 authorize computers? Sorry for being so inquisitive but I'm not the best when it comes to itunes.
    Will all my music load into itunes if once I sign in? or will it just load the songs I've downloaded from the itunes store?
    Many Thanks!

  • I have about 130 gigs of movies on my iTunes and was wondering if I can just put them on my backup hard drive and remove them from my main computer to free up the space

    I have about 130 gigs of movies on my iTunes and was wondering if I can just put them on my backup hard drive and remove them from my main computer to free up the space.

    I haven't done this with an external drive, but I would imagine it works the same way as if you have multiple internal drives.  Also hopefully it works with less headache in OSX than in windows.
    Anyway, move all your music over to your external, and then go into itunes -> preferences -> advanced -> iTunes media folder location.  Navigate to your drive, and pick the folder you want.  Ensure that your folders are set up like they are in your ~/Music/iTunes folder, or wherever your iTunes is currently pointing.  Then quit and restart itunes.  If your music doesn't show up, try dragging your music folder from your external onto itunes, and it will hopefully update your library.xml.
    As far as Jerry's problem goes, you could try adding another music folder to your library.xml, but I really have no idea whether this will work or not.  If you want to give it a try (can't promise you won't corrupt your library.xml, so make a copy beforehand) you can find the music folder xml element right near the top of the xml file (open it with textedit/textmate/whatever text editor you want (NOT WORD)).  Curious to know if this works, and if it doesn't I have other ideas so let me know.

  • I do not have my discs for install.  My main computer is dying and purchased new computer.  How can I reinstall on new computer without discs?

    Hi,
    My main computer is dying - keys do not work and video is gone.
    I purchased a new retina Macbook pro and want to reinstall Logic Audio Pro 9.  I do not have my original discs.  I can still access the program on the original Macbook to deauthorize if necessary.
    But how can I reinstall wihtout the discs?
    Any help would be great.  Thank you!

    Carbon Copy Cloner -or-
    You could remove the HD and put it in an External Enclosure -or-
    Maybe try using Apple's Migration Assistant -and finally-
    Once you have the new computer set up you may want to use Time Machine

  • I cannot log into one web site on main computer.

    Hello,
    I have a weird situation which the company that I'm working with can't provide an explanation.
    I am trying to log into the following web page: http://www.methodintegration.com/solutionproviders
    but it says that it doesn't recognize my username/password in Firefox, IE, Opera, and Chrome browsers.
    However, in a virtual machine with Windows 7 32-bit (same OS as main computer), I am able to log in successfully. I have tons of programs on my main computer so I can't figure out which one is blocking it. I have Avast! antivirus on both machines, so I know this isn't causing the problem. I tried uninstalling Spybot on my main machine (since this is not on the virtual) and that didn't solve the problem. I also tried renaming the hosts file to hosts.old and I tried removing all the Spybot entries in the hosts file but this didn't solve the problem.
    Is there any way to run a log or determine what protocol that web page is using that something else is trying to block? I have already tried removing all web browsing history, cookies, cache, etc. and it does not fix the problem. Could this be something that visiting the site for the first time was put in the registry with a different user name/password?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == First time I tried logging into web site.

    I don't have the firewall turned on for both machines; I only have a firewall through my router (which would affect all machines). I thought it might be caused by Spybot, but I uninstalled it and I still had a problem. Avast is installed on both machines, so this is not blocking it.
    Would a web page that uses javascript do anything to the registry?

  • Main computer losses internet sometimes.

    My internet on my main computer (connected to modem) losses internet sometimes when it shouldn't. (Internet connection is fine) I'm wondering if it's a faulty router because the computer connected to the modem and the router shouldn't loss internet ever unless it's an ISP problem, which it isn't. I am wondering if this is a problem with my settings or something or if it's the actual router wich is faulty. Help please?

    If you have a version 5 or 6 read throught the other posts on here.  You are not alone.... Many others are having the same issue.  The router gets overloaded and decides to shutdown.  Only way to get back on right away is to unplug it to clear the nvram.  Plug it back in and you are good to go until its overloaded again.  Very common problem these days.
    Also, you can enter http://192.168.1.1 ... It does work.  Click on that link and it will take you to your router login.

  • Wireless contection working but connection on main computer not working

    I was using my main computer last night and walked away from it for about 15 minutes.  When I came back it said there wasn't a connection to the internet and couldn't find one.  I restarted the router and computer but it did not help.  The connection does however work on my internet.  Any suggestions?

    You said wireless is working, right? Use that, if it is on a different computer download it there, put it on a flash drive, install on the one that won't communicate. But first...
    Lets go back to basics.
    On the "main" (wired?) computer, can you communicate from the PC to the router? Open your browser, type in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar and hit enter.
    Do you see the router login screen? If so, you are talking to the router, and the problem is inside the router or beyond it (which is unlikely since you said the wireless works).
    No? Then you aren't even talking to the router, try a Network Connection repair on the PC and see if that fixes it. And check to make sure the ethernet cable between your computer and the router is still correctly plugged in, and try moving it to a different port on the router.
    Hope this helps. If not, please tell us more about your entire configuration (PCs, other things like TV STBs, brand of router, any customization you may have done on the router, etc). It is hard for anyone to help in an information vacuum.

     Somehow  I can check and open my account on main computer which fios is installed, but the page doesnot allow to open e-mail. In other words, I can't read my e-mail on the main computer.  I can read my e-mail on my second compueter.
    How /to fix this problem?

    What error are you getting? What operating system and browser are on the non-working pc? What about the working one?

    macbook pro touchpad curser problems.  typing randomly jumps to wherever the curser is resting at the time.  unbelievably maddening.  multiple devices same all have same problem.  hard to believe we cannot find anything on the apple site about this.  MANY complaints outside of this site on this issue... clearly a touchpad/battery design flaw being ignored by Cupertino.  during the writing of this post, the curser jumped randomly and started typing in a different location six times.  IMPOSSIBLE to use as a word processor since typing becomes quite frustrating.  HELP.  any ideas?  Fanboy and shareholder.  three macbook pros in the house...all the same problem.
