Photostream not working on both Mac
I have updated to Lion and iPhoto 9.2 on both computers. My wife and I share one apple ID. I have photostream working on both iPhones, iPad, and one of our laptops. It just doesn't seem to want to work on our other laptop. Any thoughts?
It just doesn't seem to want to work on our other laptop.
Make sure Photo Stream is selected in System Preferences > iCloud.
And try these support articles:

Photostream not working on my mac
Photos from my iphone sync to the cloud and to my ipad, but not my mac. I have turned photostream on and off, but that doesnt seem to work, I am running Mountain Lion and the latest version of iPhoto.
I have rebooted, etc. Is there any other way to restart photostream besides turning it on or off. I am comfortable doing things in Terminal.
ThanksGive this a try:
NOTE: In Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
Then you can open the Library/Applications Support folder via the Finder as youi would to any Folder and drag the iLifeAssetManagement folder to the Trash.

My photos are not being updated through photostream on my mac computer, but are syncing on my iphone and ipad. Does anyone have any ideas as to what settings could be wrong?
What system are you running on your desktop Mac? Photo Stream requires a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later. So if your profile is correct you'll need to download and apply the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) updater.
If you're not running 9.2.2 or later do the same for iPhoto, download and apply the updater required to get you to 9.2.2 or later.

I have a Seagate Drive that I'm hoping to copy some movies from my Mac onto (because it only has a 512 SSD and I'd rather keep that empty and handy for more readily needed files) but it won't work. It shows up as a drive when connected (with the orange USB drive icon popping up) and is appropirately labeled "FreeAgent Drive", but when I try to copy files onto it it won't work. There are already windows files on there, such as some windows backups and lot's and lot's of pictures and videos. However, I have several USBs which already have windows files on them (namely movies, music, and other stuff) and copying and stuff works fine. Why won't it work with this hard drive and would work with USBs? Please help me out here guys, I am not experienced with Hard disks and formatting and stuff like that. 10 points for whoever helps me out the most. Thanks.
We will need to reformat your EXT, but it will then work on both Mac and Win
Connect the drive to your Mac, open disk utility
Go to the partiton tab and select '1' ... format should be ExFAT ... in options select MBR
Format the drive
It should now work on both OSs; report back -

I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS. -

I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.
You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine. mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar only and coloured wheel appears.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.
Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found -
my mac's keyboard is not working with my mac.the green light blinks and i cannot get onto my mac. everything on the support questions does not help because i cant go on the mac and i cant sign in
If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.

Help! limewire will not work on my Mac mini 10.4.11 now that i cleaned it
Help! LimeWire will not work on my Mac mini 10.4.11 now that i cleaned it out and had to get the new LimeWire. It keeps asking for Java 1.6 but I'm having no luck. :O( LimeWire was the reason I bought a Mac!
Very weird day in Firefoxland
First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?! -
HT4890 Shared photoStream not working for public share
Shared photoStream not working for public share and keep showing the same url for the first shared stream i have published. this means everytime i try to share to anyone else not using an iphone it comes up with page not found. I have also notice the in first initial public url which was given is the same url keeps showing up everytime i try to make it public. how do i reset or change that url so other public share stream will work. how do i get this to work
I've read some posts from users with a similar problem who were able to fix this by changing the download folder (or just click Change next to Download Folder, then click cancel). Not sure if this will work for you but thought I would pass it along.
