My external harddisk formatted in one iMac can only read in other iMac. How to make enable read

Why my external harddisk formated as R&W for one imac will remained for use in that imac only. When I bought a new imac the external hard disk end up can Read only. Shouldn't it remain the same as R&W? There is no way you can set back to R&W for my new imac. Why can't Apple make thing simple for us and let the complicated user do the complicated thing? Once formated it should be able to use for all PC and all Mac. How to reset without lossing all my files in the harddisk? I know the easiest way to reset is to reformat it and lose everything. Not user friendly isn't it?

Jimmykkk,
If you want assistance you need to quit the rant and state what you need. Also be specific, you don't mention anything about the old Mac, the kind of EHD, what it is used for etc....
If you want to share a EHD between a PC and Mac you will have many limitations, primarily the size of files you can store.

New iMac can't find the old iMac via Ethernet

I just bought a new 27" iMac and I am trying to migrate data from my old iMac.
I have the two machines hooked together via Ethernet and have Etherenet turned on in the source iMac but the new iMac can't find the old iMac. The pinwheel keeps spinning with no success. What should I do here?

What FireWire?
There is no FireWire port on the new machine so this is a non-starter.
Unfortunately you didn't read my post very thoroughly. You are correct, the new iMacs do not include FW however your old Mac probably does. For just that reason and more Apple makes a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter which you can use if you opt to use FW Target Disk Mode. You can find the adapter by going to your Apple online store or Amazon carries it to. Here is the Amazon link:

However as I mentioned use TM or a bootable clone with Migration Assistant. If your old Mac was using any verison of OS X from Leopard (10.5.x) on at the very least you should have a Time Machine backup!
Also use Pondiini's guide as AnaMusic suggests, it's THE GUIDE for using Migration Assistant and Setup Assistant. He has also created excellent guides for Time Machine too.

HT1848 How do I transfer the songs from my desktop to my iPad using the same iTunes account? I can only sync the other way. Thanks

How do I transfer the songs from my desktop to my iPad using the same iTunes account? I can only sync the other way. Thanks

DaisyDoodle,
The songs on your Shuffle should still be in your iTunes library. That means you should just be able to connect your Nano to the same iTunes library and sync it just as you would with your Shuffle. There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
As for preparing the Shuffle for your husband, just restore it via iTunes and then let him sync it to his own iTunes library or if its the same iTunes library, let him configure it to sync only his content.
Here are instructions on how to restore the Shuffle if need be.

Verizon iPhone 5, 64GB black - is anyone having issues with a very choppy conversation while talking on the phone. Both my wife and I have the same phones and are both having the same issue. We can only hear every other word.

Verizon iPhone 5, 64GB black - is anyone having issues with a very choppy conversation while talking on the phone? Both my wife and I have the same phones and are both having the same issue. We can only hear every other word of the person we are talking to. This happens at home, on the road and in the downtown area while calling both cellphones and landlines. It is intermittent, so we don't know exactly when it will reoccur. Absolutely no problem with data. The data speed is great.

One computer can't talk to other computers on network

I have a home airport network. All our computers and devices log on and use wifi and internet with no problems except suddenly one MacBook can no longer connect to the other computers on the network. It shows up in the list of devices on those computers but when I try to connect I get a message sayong the computer is not available. This happens in both directions. However, the "lost computer is on the network and can access the internet. Other computers on the network have no problem connecting to each other. The problem MacBook was working fine the last time I tried this and I've made no changes to it since then. I've tried restarting, clean restarts, etc. Nada. Help please.

Hopefully Apple will come to your aid
• Make sure all the computers on your LAN are on AppleTalk w/ File Sharing: On
• Check the Firewall settings of all workstations
• Confirm that your User or Admin account has sufficient Privileges to access sharepoints
• Reboot all machines to flush their DHCP lease or IP bottleneck
P.S. there are known issues currently with Leopard File Sharing to-and-from pre-Leopard OS X's. I do not know why your window magically closes itself. Last, run Software Update. Good luck.

One computer can't see any other iPhoto shared libraries

My Powerbook can't see any other computer's shared iPhoto libraries. However, all my other computers can see its iPhoto library.
All computers are running the same version of iPhoto.
I posted this in the iPhoto forum, but I'm reasonably sure this is a networking problem. Why? If I create another user on my Powerbook, it can see all the other shared libraries. So, the problem exists on only one account on one computer. I think there is a corrupt system setting in that account's ~/Library/ somewhere. Any suggestion which file it is? I've already dragged out likely culprits to no avail.
I have no problem sharing iTunes libraries; that works fine. So do file transfers to and from.
Here's what else I've done:
Verified iPhoto Preferences is set to "Look for shared photos" and "Share my photos" (obviously).
Tried requiring a password, and not requiring a password
Verified System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall has "iPhoto Bonjour Sharing" checked.
Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iApps.plist
Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.digihub.plist
Turned off Little Snitch
Quit / restarted iPhoto a few times
Logged in / out, rebooted a few times
Researched iPhoto Help
Researched the discussion boards
Repaired permissions on both (as you can see, I'm resorting to voodoo tactics)
Dragged my iPhoto Library out of ~/Pictures and created a brand new empty library (more voodoo)
Googled the problem
Posted this topic
That's all I can think of to do.
So... what haven't I done?

If iPhoto works for one user on a computer, it ought to work for all users. So the program itself can't possibly be a problem. Right?
Apparently not. I deleted iPhoto, and reinstalled it. That fixed the problem for the one recalcitrant account.
The problem with voodoo is that sometimes, it works.

Is there a possibility to clone an imac with maverick to 20 other imacs

i have to install 20 brand new imacs. i mad an master imac and now i want to clone this one to the other imacs. is this possible with for example carbon copy cloner?
are there problems with the apple IDs?
Thanks for your help.

You will need to check with Apple on licensing requirements or there might be Apple ID problems on each machine.
Here is an excerpt from the SLA; I believe 20 machines would be subject to the commercial or educational category:

Exchange 2010 - Outlook can only open 8 other users' calendars

I have a company that I moved to Exchange 2010 from Exchange 2003 recently. The old Exchange 2003 server has been removed from the organization. They have 30 mailboxes on a single server. Everything has been running smoothly but I have just discovered an issue.
In this office there is one person who coordinates meetings, decides who uses what conference room for a given meeting, etc. She has full access to all of the other users' mailboxes. With Exchange 2003 she could access all of the other users' calendars simultaneously and would view them in overlay mode in Outlook 2003 and/or Outlook 2007.
With Exchange 2010 she can only view the first 8 calendars she clicks on. If she tries to open a 9th calendar Outlook responds with the error message "The set pf folders could not be opened."
I don't believe it to be a rights issue as she can open any 8 calendars upon first running Outlook. To access any others she has to uncheck one or more of the calendars previously selected, exit Outlook, restart Outlook and select different users calendars.
This is only happening with Exchange 2010 - I've tested it on my Exchange 2007 server and another client's Exchange 2003 server and one can open as many other users calendars as there are.
Is this a known limitation of Exchange 2010 or a new bug? Any workarounds?

I'm betting that you have met the Exchange 2010 throttling policy......
Take a read through this post please, the section on throttling:

I have photos on my iPad that I can only see in slideshow. How can I get rid of them?

I can't update my iPad because these photos are taking up a lot of space. I think we're accidentally synced in through iTunes but I can't see them in my photos on the iPad or even when I look at my photos from my iPad on the computer. They can only be seen in slideshow

Hello there, Caroline.Mitchell.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for removing photos from your device:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
Depending where the photos in question are located, the following steps should prove valuable:
To delete synced photos and videos from your device
In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
Click Apply.
To delete Camera Roll photos and videos from your device
There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
Import the Camera Roll to your computer and choose to delete items after import.
Delete photos and videos from your device manually:
Open the Photos application and open the Camera Roll.
Tap the Action button.
Tap each photo to select it.
Tap the Delete button.
Note: For photos and videos you want to save, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Can someone help me in learning how to make business cards using pages

can someone please help me in learning how to make business cards using pages

You could jump start the process with an Avery MS Word 8-up business card template as a free download. Either version of Pages will digest it nicely. Once you load it into Pages, do a File > Save As Template.. , add it to Chooser, and give it your name choice. Both versions of Pages will remove the printer registration marks in all four template corners. The free LibreOffice Writer retains them.

See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.

1finger swiping doesnt work, can only swipe with 4 fingers How do i change this setting, 1finger swiping doesnt work, can only swipe with 4 fingers How do i change this setting

How do i change the swipe settings in my i pad mini. 1 finger swiping does not work and can only use 3 and 4 finger swiping? Thanks.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

I have an external harddisk with NTFS. The iMac can only read the files. What should I do if I want to use and move the files both on OS Lion and Windows?

What should I do if I want an external harddrive which is accessible both for Windows and Mac (OS Lion)?

Use exFAT or install drivers such as Paragon NTFS on the Mac.
