Photostream between iPhone & Mac Pro

I am trying to create a Photostream between my iPhone and my Mac. I have everything working on my iPhone and it is creating Photostream pics. When I go to iPhoto prefs on my Mac, it won't let me check the enable box. I checked the System Prefs and Photostream is ON.

Are you using the Mail.app on your Mac to access your .Mac account and if so, what is the account type?
A .Mac account can be accessed as a .Mac type account, IMAP or POP account with the Mail.app on a Mac or as an IMAP or POP account with other email clients.
A .Mac type account with the Mail.app is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way and when creating the account with the Mail.app, .Mac is the default account type.
Did you transfer your .Mac account settings from your Mac to your iPhone via the sync process or did you manually create the account on the iPhone?

I need help. I need a KVM to switch between my Mac Pro and my IBM ThinkPad (docking station).

I need help. I need a KVM to switch between my Mac Pro and my IBM ThinkPad (docking station).
Best Buy (only local option) has only a VGA / USB from iogear that scroll lock doesn't work on the Mac and low and behold I'm a d.a. and didn't notice VGA, ie: want/need DVI.
I don't game on my Mac or do high-end video editing but don't want to step down the video quality too much.
Appreciate all of the forthcoming advice.

I guess I should have clarified and said "can you please share what you've used and been successful with"
Two that I have been considering are:
ConnectPRO

IOGear
http://www.iogear.com/solutions/kvm/?view=displayDVI
If you do the Belkin KVM wizard, as soon as you reference a Mac, they only support VGA and I am not sure why. http://www.belkin.com/kvm/
Thanks for the effort.

File syncing/sharing between 3 Mac Pros

Does anyone know what I can use or buy to sync/share files between three Mac Pros. Kind of like a network, where one file can be opened in any computer and the changes synced throughout.
Example: an InDesign file is opened and worked on and closed in Mac Pro A, another user could open the same InDesign file on Mac Pro B and see the updates done in Mac Pro A?

Are you accounts the same on the mac's in question? I just tested this at my home. When you access the shared folder, how do you log into the shared folder?
For example:
I'm on a Mac Pro, username is xxxx
My wife on a iMac, username is yyyy
My sone on a iMac, username is zzzz
When I access files on the iMac, I select it from the sidebar and use account yyyy (I know the password). Now I can access any of the files and work on them directly. When I log in as xxxx, I can't access the files in her account, I can only access the public folder and then to read only. Think about your strategy to deal with this. Several come to mind where you don't need to share passwords....maybe a neutral account called homeshare with the appropreiate password. Everyone just logs in as "homeshare" and puts in the password. All files are located in the homeshare account.
I also have a 2TB disk on my AEBS (airport extreme basestation). This drive is setup to allow any of my family members to access it. It works great as a simple file server. Just remind people to dismount it when they are done or you'll keep it spun up. This is method goes by the name NAS.
Look at this picture...see the "connect as" button? When you connect as someone with an account on the machine, you get full access to that account

Syncing mail on iPad, iphone, & mac Pro using Cloud

I use mail app on my Mac Pro to view my gmail account, now with iCloud how do I sync my mail on my mac pro, iPhone, & iPad so they are all updated as one account. Currently I my mail on my iPhone and iPad update with each, but my mail on my Mac Pro does not. I thought when I updated to Lion I would be able to use iCloud to solve this problem, but it has not.

That depends on the email service you are using. If the gmail account is an IMAP account, it should work the same as iCloud mail and stay in sync. The only difference being that you would need to set your gmail account up on each device manually.

Problem between a Mac Pro / 01-2007 and ATI Radeon X1900XT

Hello,
My friend has bought a second hand ATI Radeon X1900XT with a fan Zalmann Fatality VC-ZV9 and has the following problems. She can switch on her computer without any problem and the card works fine (Photoshop, ...) As soon as she launches Secondlife client, the screen gets black few minutes after, and if she tries to switch off and on the screen, it says "No signal" anologic or digital. This card is reported to work very well with Secondlife. It can't be overheat, since it comes very quickly, and just after the crash, she can touch the card which is not hot. The fan works fine. How can I investigate to find out what goes wrong with this card ? Her computer is a Mac Pro bought in January 2007 with 3 Gb RAM and Leopard. The problems has occured before 10.5.3 version of Leopard was installed. I've made a test of the Video Memory with Techtool Deluxe and it didn't find any problem.
Thank you

I think I'm having a similar problem: running a Mac Pro/ATI Radeon X1900XT. Was having issues with general artifacts that seemed to come and go randomly. The machine got very hot one day when the AC was not on and the office was closed: random artifact "pixel dots" became lines on the screen, and then the entire screen just went black.
I had to do a hard shut down, and it's happened several times since. When I pulled the ATI card out, there was considerable dust built up at the intake which I cleaned out. It hasn't blacked out again, but the artifacts remain on the screen.
I suspect the card is about to die, but was trying to see if anyone else had this experience? Also, if anyone recommends replacing it with the same card, or if there is a better recommendation? I do general design and photo editing, no gaming and nothing very intense.
Thanks for the help!!

Fileshare between my Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon (64-bit) & Power Mac 9600

I want to make my Power Macintosh 9600/233 (Mac OS 9) a shared computer with my Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon (64-bit)(Mac OS 10.6.6). I am using a Netopia Model 3346N-VGx DSL Ethernet Managed Switch to network with my Samsung printer and the Mac Book Pro.
I also have a Power PC G4 (Mac OS 10.5.8) connected (via a Ziplinq 48" Retractable Crossover Network Cable) to a Farallon EtherWave 10 Base-T AAUI Transceiver, which in turn is connected to the Netopia, from which I can share files. All of this is ethernet connectivity.
I thought I could connect my 9600 using the same method as for the G4 or by connecting the ethernet cable from the 9600 directly into the Mac Pro Quad Core. However, neither of these methods work.
An additional stumbling block is that I have not used this 9600 for several years and am not sure of its account name. I'm fairly certain of its password. But because I don't have a second monitor for this machine, I can't muddle my way in.
My questions:
1. What might be a network solution to this dilemma?
2. Or, do I need to get another monitor for this computer and leave it un-networked and just transfer files manually?
3. Or, would whatever hard drives are in the 9600 be transferable into the networked G4 or the main Mac Pro? (not sure what they are.)
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Oh man, what a dilemma...
1. What might be a network solution to this dilemma?
Without a monitor on the 9600, almost none. At the very least you'll need to configure the server with appropriate network settings for your environment, and that can't be done headless.
You might only need a display for long enough to setup the network, but you'll need one all the same.
Once the network is configured your options are either AFP or FTP, but I'm not even sure the old version of AFP is supported anymore, which means you may need to fire up an FTP client on the 9600 and push the files to your MacPro.
2. Or, do I need to get another monitor for this computer and leave it un-networked and just transfer files manually?
As mentioned above, you're going to need a monitor at the very least to configure the network settings. I'd be inclined to say at that point you might as well copy the files off any way you can and put the 9600 to rest. If you're really, really fortunate and the 9600 has a CD burner I'd probably use that and count myself lucky
3. Or, would whatever hard drives are in the 9600 be transferable into the networked G4 or the main Mac Pro? (not sure what they are.)
The 9600 shipped with SCSI drives, which no current Mac support (at least without a SCSI card), so there's no way to remove the drive from the 9600 and attach it directly to the MacPro.

Cannot connect between a Mac Pro (late 2013) and a MBP and vice versa

Cannot connect to Macbook Pro from Mac Pro late 2013. I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can screen share either way. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are definitely correct however.
I have no firewall on. Both devices are using the most recent OS.
Thanks in advance
Jeff

Moving a project between a Mac Pro and an iMac

I have a 3-year-old Mac Pro at home and a similarly aged iMac at the office. I'm working on a project with ~25GB of files on the MP with my a system/application drive, the project files on the second drive and the scratch files set up on the third disk.
I'd like to do some work on it at the office (iMac), but I don't know how to do it. Can I simply copy the project files and the .fcp file to a hard drive and copy that to my iMac? How will FCP know where things are? Also, if I can do it successfully, how do I take the edits done on the iMac and bring them back to my MP to use them too?
Thanks for any guidance.

Jim, I didn't think of that as a rant. In fact, I could relate to it on a musical level. In a former career as a composer/arranger/orchestrator I took a lot of gigs to support myself. Often I copied, transcribed, edited, and proofread music. This is all painstaking and industry specific work. For example, if you're working on a show and a singer complains to the music director that the key of A-flat is too high for her, it's decided to lower the song to the key of F. No one thinks about it, but now you might have oboe, clarinet, trombone, or violin parts that can not be played on the instruments because they're out of the range of the instrument.
So it's up to the copyist, editor, or proofreader to say, "Wait a minute, that really cool effect with the violas holding that open low C is now impossible to play."
With today's technology, however, it's possible for people to compose songs and scores with no knowledge of the intricacies of music whatsoever. I'm not making any value judgments, just agreeing with you that education organization, understanding, and planning are key to doing the best work you can.
I wish I could work as an assistant, but I'm getting into video as an avocation. I don't have a goal of making money, but I would like to make narrative films.
It's been a learning process since purchasing a video camera last year. I've been reading as much as I can about preproduction, scripting, casting, lighting, color, production design, cinematography, audio, writing, and postproduction: basically, movie making in general. And, even with a lot of time and experimentation, I don't even feel I've made a dent in the wealth of knowledge I need to absorb to do my ideas justice, but each day brings new information and new opportunities to learn.
This, for sure, is a rant so I'll end it with my appreciation to you, to Michael, and all the others in this and other similar communities who are willing to share their knowledge and time with neophytes. Though technology has created a new era where anyone -- with or without a lot of knowledge, for better or for worse -- can write a piece of music, publish a book, or create a film, it's also provided us with valuable communities that would have been inconceivable thirty or forty years ago.

Conflict between iPhone .Mac mail and iMac

I have noticed that once my iPhone has picked up may mail from my .Mac account it is removed, so when I try and retrieve my mail on my iMac, there is nothing to collect. On most mail account you can stop this from happening, but I cannot see a way of doing this on the .Mac settings on the iPhone, any ideas???

Are you using the Mail.app on your Mac to access your .Mac account and if so, what is the account type?
A .Mac account can be accessed as a .Mac type account, IMAP or POP account with the Mail.app on a Mac or as an IMAP or POP account with other email clients.
A .Mac type account with the Mail.app is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way and when creating the account with the Mail.app, .Mac is the default account type.
Did you transfer your .Mac account settings from your Mac to your iPhone via the sync process or did you manually create the account on the iPhone?

Sharing external FireWire drive between two Mac Pros

I know that sharing an external FireWire drive between two machines (i.e. both connected at the same time) is a very bad things as both will assume that they have exclusive write access to the drive and quite quickly write over what the other machine has just written.
Would it be possible though to mount the drive as read-only on the first machine and in read-write mode on the second? Would this preserve integrity as the second machine would in fact have exclusive write access or would other problems arise?
Thanks for any responses to a stupid question!
Peter

Mmm, Connect the drive to the private secure network Mac. Connect the two Macs by FireWire and create a network over the firewire connection, configure it to use class C addresses, ie. 169.x.x.x manually and then share the firewire drive to the other Mac (also on a class C network address over firewire).
Both macs will still have their own ethernet network addresses and each network will not be visible from the "other" network (unless you choose to share your internet connection over firewire).
The only caveat here is that the firewire drive will be visible to every other Mac on the secure network that you allow to connect to it (which is why I chose that one, rather than the public Mac). Or can you restrict sharing to only one network ..... didn't think so.

4GBps Fiber Network between 2 Mac Pros

Just had a thought that may be silly, but since I don't know any better I'm asking anyway.
I'm thinking of getting some sort of RAID system that will deliver in the excess of 300MB/s. Since I also need a server to run Final Cut Server I was thinking of maybe combining the two... How would it work to use a PowerMac G5 with 6-8 RAID0 drives and connecting that directly to my Intel MacPro via 4GBs fiber? Would this work and would it deliver good, stable performance?

You really need to clarify exactly what your suggesting... but from my assumption what you want is a top notch 1. RAID & 2. Server for Final Cut.
Final Cut server is merely an upgraded sorting library. It more efficiently works at the levels of Journaling with OSX. Their is no need for FCS unless your in a large business working with the same data files on the same server. From what you are saying, apparently this machine your thinking up is going to be connected to just your machine. It will help in the workflow and organization of your files.
As for RAID system. You mention connecting both Macs via fiber using 4Gb/s (not 4GB/s ) The 4Gb/s transceiver is only available on the intel model macs, not the G5. And your not able to connect the two machines directly as another not. Just as you need a crossover patch ethernet cable two network two home computers, you'd need to do the same thing here. You'd need a fiber switch to perform that. And as for the 6 - 8 RAID0 drives... I would suggest a simple external enclosure that's capable of fiber connections. I recall finding one before. Googling will prove helpful.
So to directly answer your question... No. That would not be a stable system

Have issuses pushing or syncing info between iphone mac book and entourage

I am having a problem with getting new information to my iphone. As I understood it as soon as you entered and saved information in say, you entourage calander. That inormation would be uploaded to your mobile me "cloud" and then desciminated to my other respective computers and devices. This is happening but it is slow. I added pictures to some contacts on my computer and it took several days for them to show up on my iphone. I made changes to my entourage calander and it took over an hour to show up on y phone. The same is true for phone to computer saved content. I am not sure if I am missing a setting or don't nderstand what the triggers are if any.
Also are there any good tutorials out there for mobil me. I know its new and pretty simple but I am in need of this sort of program and I would like to know everything.
I am also having a problem setting up my mobile me email in entourage I cant find the send receive address settigs.

You've posted this in the iSync forum. iSync has nothing to do with syncing iPhones or to MobileMe.

Extend the distance between Mac Pro and display

I'd like to know how to extend the distance between my Mac Pro and its Cinema Display. The Mac is early 2008 as is its display I think. I need a distance of about 5metres.

yes-get a DVI Dual Link Extension cable M/F or M/M. I think you can get 'em around 25 feet max. then you'd need a gender changer, maybe......
depends what you want to pay, though.*cough* monoprice*cough*
just my opinion

Streaming Issues from Mac Pro using Apple TV

I have recently purchased a Mac Book Pro with retina display and tried streaming content using my apple tv (3rd gen). The picture streams (providing my bluetooth is off) but the sound continuously stutter. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello PaulKinger,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are experiencing some performance issues with sound while using AirPlay between your Mac Pro and your Apple TV. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest working through the steps outlined in the attached article.
Resolve issues with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring from iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Resolve performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.
Try these suggestions:
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Have a great day,
Joe

PS stopped syncing on Mac Pro

i have the following settings in PhotoStream on the Mac Pro and i have PhotoStream sync turned on in my iPhone settings. is there another setting on the mac pro i should check?
my iphone is connected to my home network and it has been for the last four hours.
i have started and quit and started and quite aperture on my mac pro.
i have disconnected and reconnected iCloud sync on my mac pro.
is there anything else i can try if i can see an April 2014 Photo Stream folder on the mac pro in aperture but i can also see about 200 photos that are on my iPhone in PhotoStream that are not in this month on the Mac Pro?
i just opened the macbook pro and opened aperture and these images from my phone are now syncing to this device.
i run mountain lion on the mac pro and mavericks on the MBP.
what am i missing other than PhotoStream is not working very well...?

i have the following settings in PhotoStream on the Mac Pro
With these settings you should see "My Photo Stream" in the "Shared > iCloud" section in Aperture on your Mac Pro, but the monthly projects will not import new photos from the stream. If you want monthly projects automatically imported, enable "Automatic Import" in your settings.
Did you not say, that you only want to import the Photo Stream to one of your Macs, if I remember correctly?
