  • Airdrop is not working between my imac and air book. Why?

    Airdrop is very unreliable between my IMAC and Airbook. This is a recent problem and very annoying. Rebooting both computers restores it for a while. I now have to resort to emailing documents to myself to transfer simple small pages ot PDFs. I can;t find anything on the net to fix it but others have the same problem.

    This is what my Airdrop looks like.  It doesn't pick up my iPad, running ios8 (Airdrop is ON) and none of the drop down menus function.  What is the big question mark?
    I am using an iMac, just upgraded to the new Yosemite yesterday (BTW, Airdrop never worked previously either, and the window looked the same as now)

  • AirDrop used to work between my iMac and MacBook Pro. Now, when I try to transfer a file (either direction) I get a message that my certificate is invalid or that the file has not been accepted. What do I do?

    It will start to load and then error message and cuts off. ( Picasa is photo editing software)

    Picasa is not an Apple product.
    You should ask the developers why they have not updated their application.

    What are you trying to AirDrop to? Another iOS device or a Mac?
    Check out this tutorial for getting AirDrop setup as well as the system requirements...make sure your devices all meet the stated requirements.

  • New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ?

    New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ....

    Because you require Lion to run it. You should not have installed it.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
                 Identifier 5,1 or later.
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • Final cut will not work on my Imac

    I've gone from a 5 year old mac book to a brand new Imac. My final cut express worked on my old mac book but is not working on my Imac. It is saying I need an AGP graphics card, what is this and can I add one to my Imac? Live type and soundtrack are working just not the actual final cut. Please no confusing computer terms as I don't understand half the stuff that is said in this forum! Thanks, Sammy.

    I have the same problem. I can't load and save any movie - shortclip. I have tried several ways without succes.
    I just bought FCE 4.0 and it's new to me. Nothing works for me. I'm still working in Quicktime.
    My camera is Panasonic Lumix TZ7 - AVCHD. I can see my clips in preview but when I put into Sequence a "red hand" shows me "NO DATA". What am I doing wrong? I have also tried different setups i Preference.
    (I have the book and DVD from Apple Pro Training Series - FCE 4, but when I follow the instructions it doesn't match what happens on my computer.

  • I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my iMac

    I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my IMac but works absolutely fine on my Iphone 5. Can anyone help with the setup for iMac. I am with BT for my Broadband. I am cionverned if I route my Hotmail accoutn to GMail will iy stop working on my Ipone.

    How are you accessing Hotmail?  Via your web browser?  Are you using Apple Mail?  Outlook?
    The answer will be different depending on how you want to access Hotmail.
    If you are using an email client (like Apple Mail, Outlook, Entourage, etc.)) then you need to set up a mail account in your email software.
    The incoming Hotmail settings are these:
    Incoming server: pop3.live.com
    User name: Your full Hotmail email address (aka "me @ hotmail.com" or "me @ live.com")
    Password: Your Hotmail password
    POP port: 995
    Use SSL to connect : yes
    The outgoing Hotmail settings are:
    Outgoing server: smtp.live.com
    User name: Your full Hotmail email address
    Password: Your Hotmail password
    SMTP port: 587 (override the default port if necesssary)
    Use SSL to connect : yes

  • So that airdrop does not work my? , not even it appears to me the configuration of this application.

    so that airdrop does not work my? , not even it appears to me the configuration of this application.

    Hi, as the forum topic title says: iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store, I guess this the right place to ask !!!
    Anyway I already tried to contact the developer. Page's link does not bring anywhere. no site, no contact mail :(:( it seems Apple bought a App from some... Ghost. And,  worst, now the App disappeared from ITunes Store and.... Apple support (at least by email) just mistalk about it giving no solution at all. I really guess who reply mails is a f...g computer trying analyzing the question and trying give solution. Coz their emails are always confusing or talking about sth else than my troubleshooting.
    Anyway... Ok... I just hope have at least my money back.
    Bye

  • Airdrop does not work in iMac on my network

    Trying to transfer files through Airdrop. It absolutely does not work or recognize anything on any of my iMacs (2011,2014) from iPhone6 through Airport network. When I go to my friend's house (same Airport and iMac and iphone) Airdrop works just fine.
    This is what i see on my finder. Even when everything I have is connected to the network and the Airdrop finder page is on or I'm trying to send an image or something through my iphone

    With Yosemite we have a new kind of AirDrop and what used to be AirDrop is now "Legacy Airdrop" because older computers cannot support the new standard. On your newer computer (The late 2013) model when you select AirDrop you'll see in blue type "Don't see who you're looking for?" You have to click on that link and then click on "Search for an Older Mac"
    Assuming you've already selected AirDrop on the older Mac, it will appear as you'd expect on the 2013 iMac. I've found that sometimes once the "Legacy AirDrop" has been selected on the new computer on my older MBP I have to unselect AirDrop and then reselect it for the newer computers to be seen on the older MBP.
    Hope this resolves your problem. Almost forget - choosing "Legacy" isn't sticky. You have to do this every time you want to Airdrop with an older computer.

  • HT203106 Airdrop is not working on iMac running on Yosemite 10.10.2

    Hi,
    My iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) is running on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
    and can not see bottom option on my airdrop window
    Can not see my iPhone 6 Plus or any apple device who has Airdrop "ON"
    how to fix this issue?

    You cannot use AirDrop between iPhone 6 and your iMac mid-2011.
    This is why
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
    your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
    your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
    your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
    Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
