One mouse, one keyboard, one iMac and one MBP

How can I use a thunderbolt cable to connect my MBP to my 27" iMac and take full advantage of the full screen but use only one magic mouse and mac keyboard? When paring to the MBP, then I can no longer export the display via TDB to my iMac.

Set System Preferences/Bluetooth to show Bluetooth in the menu bar. Then you can disconnect in the menu bar.

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

    One Adobe ID supports two activation of CC irrespective of the type (single/complete/Team). If you buy the complete CC with the same Adobe ID, it will allow to activate it two times though you you will be assigned space of single app cc + the complete CC.
    You can buy the Complete CC with a different Adobe ID.

    Lightroom is not saving metadata. I have done several things to save and I still get the tag that states is is not saved. I have also created 2 smart collections. One showing metadata has been changed and one showing metadata is not up to date. No matter what I do it is not showing in LR that it is saved. I spent 2 days with Seth Resnick trying to correct this and we re created my catalog. It was ok, until I imported new images and same problem. Now I have a new problem, when I bring image to PS it saves it but does not bring back to LR. Am I the only one out there who has this problem?

  • Previously installed Aperture3 on an iMac and a MBP. I Bought a new MBA to replace the MBP and I want to install Aperture3 on the new MBA.  The installer says the serial code is invalid? What do I do?

    I previously bought Aperture 3 and installed in on an iMac and a MBP.  I just bought a new MBA to replace the MBP, but the MBA doesn't have enough memory for me to do a complete restore of the MBP on the MBA.  So I am trying to find a way to deactivate the serial code or Aperture 3 on the MBP so I can reinstall Aperture 3 on the MBA.  I have been searching forums and google and I have not been any answers.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    How did you buy Aperture? Did you buy it from the App Store? Then you can download it again on your MBA, if you sign into the App Store.
    If you bought Aperture buy buying a licence key to unlock the trial, try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number:
    http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
    And if you own the boxed DVD installer , use the DVD to install Aperture on your MBA. If the installer does not work - and you get the message
    "check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of Mac OS X"
    you may have a problem with an expired developer certificate (they expired mid march).
    To fix this, set the Date  in " SystemPreferences -> Date&Time" to a date well before March 2012 and run the Installer again. If that succeeds and Aperture now runs, reset the date to the current date.
    You can see your serial number in the "About" panel in the main Aperture menu bar on your MBP:
    Aperture > About Aperture.
    For the "invaldid serial number" see these links: You may have read the letters incorrectly - some are look alike, "1" or "I", "0" or "O"; your shift-lock key may be set.

  • Please select a Numbers document that has one or more named header columns and one or more rows of data.

    This  IS the same error message I keep getting when I try and create labels.  I've done it in the past but this year it won't.  I am using the latest update of Pages and numbers.
    Help??

    Mike,
    Thanks for the question. I hadn't explored this previously.
    You must first create your data table in a Numbers document and save that document. Use a Header Row and place your data descriptions in that row, with your data below.
    Then you create your Pages document with merge fields, but don't format the merge titles yet.
    Now, go to the Pages Link Inspector and Select the Numbers document to merge from.
    One by one, select your merge location text and add to the Merge Field list in the Inspector, selecting the corresponding descriptor in the Numbers table.
    Finally, in Pages, Edit > Mail Merge.
    Here's an example:
    In the screen shot, the Numbers table is in the background, the Pages merge format document is in the foreground, and the result document is at the mid-plane.
    Regards,
    Jerry

  • Using an iMac and a MBP with iTunes, but NOT sync'ed.

    I imagine that this has been asked before, but...
    I started out with a MBP... Recently, I have purchased a new iMac. I have successfully migrated all of my files from the MBPro to the iMac. Now that I have the much more substantial HD space on the iMac, I would like to remove many files from the MBP (photos, iTunes, etc.) But, I would like to have a way to "sync" files and photos and playlists from my iMac and the iTunes installed there. Is there a way to do this? I don't want to install the whole music library, I would rather just have a playlist that I could sync. Kind of like what the iPhone does.
    I'm fairly new to the Mac platform (as you can probably tell), I suppose I could delete the files from the MBP and use the iPhone as a go between, if I use a different iTunes library...but is that the best way?
    I appreciate any help or info provided!

    Greetings,
    If you are referring to simply migrating an iTunes Library from one Mac to another, then it sounds like it's pretty much done. - With regard to syncing files between two libraries; I don't think that iTunes supports this.
    The easiest workaround there is simply to share your library using iTunes; this will give your other Mac access to the same files, it also eliminates inconsitencies as the library will only be stored on one Mac and won't become out of sync.
    I'll give you 2 links; the first relates to migrating your Library, the second relates to setting up Library sharing.

  • Sharing One iTunes Library on a iMac and MacBook - Please Help!

    I realise that this has probably been answered a million times on this forum, so I apologize in advance. I recently bought an Airport Extreme and connected to my wireless home network, my internet speeds have increased (don't ask me why because I don't know) and I am really happy with the results, I have just one issue which I am hoping to resolve.
    I have a iMac in my study, and a MacBook which I use all around the house. I have an external hard drive connected to the AEBS which has all of my files on, including my iTunes music. The problem is, I download music on both computers, and if I download a track or a movie onto the itunes library of one, it doesn't appear on the other computer, even though both iTunes apps are pointing to the same folder on the external hard drive.
    The question I have is, how do I make both itunes libraries share the same library, so if I add a song on my mac it will automatically appear on my macbook when i use it next.
    Both macs are fully up to date, and running Leopard
    Many Thanks
    JC

    This is really an iTunes question. How do you configure a remote library which updates properly for all clients?
    I suggest that you ask in the iTunes discussion area.

  • Can one install iWork on both iMac and an iBook?

    Hi,
    I recently bought an iMac with iWork pre-installed in it. Can I use the installation CD for iWork that came with the package to install a copy of the software on my iBook (with Tiger running on it) as well?

    Yes, licensing terms is the only difference between the two. And technically, the "Family" license extends only to up to 5 users living within the same household and is not to be used for business. Here is the quote from Apple:
    "The Family Pack Software License Agreement allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that same household. By “household” we mean a person or persons sharing the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home or condominium. This license does not extend to students who reside at a separate on-campus location or to business or commercial users."

  • One Keychain library on both iMac and MacBook Pro via Dropbox or...?

    Hi guys
    I would like to have the same Keychain library on both my Macbook Pro and iMac?
    Can I get this done via Dropbox or how can I fix this?
    Thanks!
    Bob

    Why do you want to do this (I'm curious)?
    I found this article which explains how to copy keychains from one Mac to another.  Keep in mind that this does not sync the keychains; it's only a snapshot of your existing keychain at the time you copy it.   And ... you are on your own doing this, especially if your Macs have different releases of OS X.

  • HT201250 Can I back up more than one computer (i.e. my iMac and MacBook Pro) on the same hard drive using Time Machine?

    I'm wondering if I can plug in our new external hard drive (a 2TB Western Digital) and back up two separate computers using Time Machine without fear of the files from the second computer overriding the first.

    You can login into iCloud. It needs iOS 5 in the iPod touch, iPad and iPhone. Then, open Settings > iCloud and turn on Notes. You can also use another service (Exchange, Hotmail, Gmail) that supports Notes
