Network macbook pro 10.9.4 to macbook 10.6.8 - how?

I have just bought a new MacBook Pro (mid-2014) Mavericks OS X 10.9.4. Until now I have been using a MacBook (early 2008) Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8. I want to keep my MacBook 10.6.8 and link it to my new computer. I don't want to migrate anything. I want to make a clean start on the MacBook Pro 10.9.4, but I want to access the information on my MacBook 10.6.8 - sometimes in entirety to leave on my MacBook Pro 10.9.4, and sometimes ad hoc or as required.
I would like to access the MacBook 10.6.8 with iCloud but to do so I would need to instal OS X Lion 10.7.5. However, I do not want to lose the functionality of OS X 10.6.8 by installing 10.7.5 over it.
I proposed to create a partition on my MacBook OS X 10.6.8 to run OS X Lion 10.7.5, but I know now that Apple will not give me a license to run two operating systems on the one computer. If there is not a work around to share information between the computers via iCloud, how do I link the two computers via a home wireless network, and, if that is not possible, how do I use Ethernet or USB to extract my programs (apps) and files from my MacBook to use them on my new MacBook Pro.

Thanks for the idea but I've fiddled around for hours. I don't know which password applies to which process. I don't whether my password should be for my internet connection, the server (whatever that is), or the password for my computer. I haven't found any clear steps to explain what might better be explained in sequential steps. And, oh Heaven, some pictures or someone from Apple might help.

HT2250 I have been able to get my MacBook Pro to print wirelessly through my Airport device. How do I make it so other computers (non-Mac) can also print wirelessly as well? They are able to connect through my wireless network but can't print.

Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.

check printer sharing.

In my MacBook Pro old 2006 late model Lion 10.7.4 how achieve right click from touch pad

In my MacBook Pro old 2006 late model Lion 10.7.4 how achieve right click from touch pad?

The multigesture buttonless trackpad was introduced with the Unibody Macs that came out in Late 2008. Successive models have built upon that, adding 2, 3 and more fingers to the gestures.
Older models don't have the trackpad hardware needed to detect those motions and, hence, cannot support multigestures. Only resort is using combination of keys with the button, as disguise suggests.

I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network?

I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network? (I can't seem to find a way to see it).
My computer is acting....well, strange. I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't seem right. Menus look skewed. Some applications look like they're trying to disguise themselves as apple (no consistant window formats). Airplay turns on and off on my devices on it's own. And some locked system preference seem to unlock themselves, or won't even grey-out after I lock them.
I have changed my password many times but the issue keeps coming back. I feel like I'm going crazy - but I know that something just isn't right...maybe someone's been hacking me? (I have no idea why...)
Anyway, maybe I could have stemmed from an improper setup of my wireless network.
Any thoughts?
Also, right now, when I just signed into apple communities....
     I have an iCloud email address that is accociated with my 1 and ONLY Apple ID...
     It seems to have been working but...
     When I loged in here it only saw my:
                              OLD MacBookPro
                              3 Old iPods
                              My new MacMini with OS X Sever (Server is currently turned off)
     Could my Apple ID be confusing my MacBook (which I'm currently using) as an old iPod or my old MacBookPro?
     I doesn't even see my iPad (1st generation), or my iPhone 5
     Also, the Mac App store is giving me the option to download Mountain Lion??? I already have version 10.8.3...
Can anyone perform an analysis on my account and computer? I have been to the Apple Store 6 seperate time and the problem was not resolved (after 6 COMPLETE hard drive wipes).
PLEASE HELP!

i guess you could put the aiport utility app on your iphone, click on the aiport express there, it will show you how many devices are connected to it and the mac addresses of those devices.

Fax Setup Problem: Networked MacBook can't find HP 2160 Fax

I have a recent MacBook Intel Duo OS X (10.4.10) that I have connected to base station via Airport. (Airport Extreme Base station, works fine for everything else) Base station is connected to cable modem (WAN) and Intel iMac is connected to base station via Ethernet cable. Network works fine.
I have an HP 2160 All-in-One Printer/Fax/Scanner connected to base station via USB. I just installed HP's bloated driver package on my Airport networked MacBook.
I can print fine via Airport networked MacBook, but I can't get the MacBook to find the fax (on printer setup) to allow me to send a fax via the HP 2160. The HP 2160 works fine as stand-alone fax (it's hooked up to phone line, has it's own internal fax modem).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Two issues going on at once:
Drivers - OS X has two kinds of drivers; Carbon and CUPS. HP provides Carbon, USB-only drivers with printers that only have a USB connection (Yes, this is different from Windows, where a driver is a driver). Yet the standard comm protocols are provided by CUPS. You need CUPS drivers to use the CUPS network protocols. Search here to see if there's an open source CUPS driver for your model (you may need to find a "similar" model driver):

Then, to review the Windows Printing procedure, look at this:

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different.

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different. When I look at my backed-up iphoto library folder I see lots of files and folders: ALbumData.xml, Attachments folder, etc. The 9.6.1 iphoto library doesn't appear to be a folder at all. Help!

iPhoto 6 and earlier libraries were regular folders with the kind of files your reporting. With the advent of iPhoto 7 the library folder was changed to a package similar to the application packages but have essentially the same files and folders inside. There's no reason to have access to the inside of the iPhoto Library so Apple changed them to packages.
Do you have a backup copy of the iPhoto Library from before the HD crash. If so restore it to the Pictures folder in your Home folder. If you previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 or earlier download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before trying to open it with iPhoto 9.6.1.

I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?

I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?

"I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R"
How? Using what equipment/software?
"The DVD plays on the device on which it was recorded."
Just a guess: You're using a VCR-DVD combo recorder. DVDs produced in this way will play on the device that made them, but won't play on anything else until they're "finalized." In fact, Macs will recognize unfinalized DVDs as blank discs until the discs are finalized. Check the manual that came with the recording device for instructions.

I have MacBook 2.1 Intel Core 2 Duo OS 10.6.8 want to install HP Officejet Pro 6835 which requires OS 10.7 higher. How can I do this? Possible? Or Is it possible to install 10.7 upper to my Macbook 2.1?

Lion is the highest version your can install. You need to have 2 GBs of RAM and be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
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.

MacBook Pro开机或关机越来越慢，是怎么回事，如何解决？

Open your disk utility and verify your disk permissions - if errors are found - repair them and restart your macbook when it's done the repairs....
see if that sorts it out for you...
good luck

Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will - Help

Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will without problems.
iphone will connect to base station no problems, I've restored settings and started again but still the same, the iphone picked up the network for the last couple of months, but not now ?

I'm having the same issue. My AExpress used to give a good signal strength on the far side of the house extending he network created by my Extreme. However, I've noticed lately that my iPhone does not receive the same strong signal it once did. AE has a green light, I've rebooted it, and my Extreme but there is no change in signal strength. Other than the green light, how can I tell if the Express is working if I don't get a good network signal?

If you bought/paid for them in the Mac App Store, you would just need to sign in to the MAS with the Apple ID you used to purchase them, go to purchases, and click install.
As for the limited licensing that Bordy brought up, the TOS for the MAS states:
"Apps from the Mac App Store may be used on any Macs that you own or control for your personal use."
If you installed them from an iWork disc, just pop the disc back in and reinstall.
