Process to access .mac from new iMac

Have 2 computers, eMac & new iMac 20" I can iWeb publish without problem to my .mac account from the eMac (in fact, have 4 different web sites online at present.) When I attempt to publish a new site using iWeb 08, I'm continually asked to sing in. First comes an update request which I check 'Don't Change'. and a drop down progress bar at the top of the iWeb window. Next comes the .Mac info window asking if I'm a member (sign in) or wish to become one.
When I click the 'Sign In' button, up comes the 'Already a Member?' question followed by my .Mac member name and the coded password (which shows a total of 12 digits vs. my actual 6 digit one)
That's as far as I can go as there are no other buttons to click except the account info one which gets me nowhere.
I want to move on to using some new iWeb 08 features but cannot.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Wayne Garriepy

Try launching Keychain Access - its in your Utilities folder - and look under login passwords to check the info for "idisk.mac.com" to see if it is correct.

I am constantly being advised that my information has been accessed by a "new" iMac. I only have ONE iMac. What gives? And what is with the constant request to "update" my information?

I am constantly being advised that my information has been accessed by a "new" iMac. I only have ONE iMac. What gives? And what is with the constant request to "update" my information? As well, I have had to change my password a number of times since migrating to Yosemite; again: what's this all about? I Apple going the way of Microsoft for some reason? I left the Microsoft community because of constant problems with their OS and the unending string of "security updates"; is Apple and my iMac becoming "just another crap computer"?

Move data from new iMac to Mac SE 1/20

I have some classic Mac software I always migrated to my new Macs for years. Now I got an old Mac SE 1/20 and I wan't to move all my old software to it from my 27" iMac.
The problem:
I bought 1,4 MB DOS-formatted floppies which both computers can read and write to (with PC Exchange on MacOS 7.5).
When the files are copied to the disks on my iMac they look fine, with their long filename, icons,…
But inserted into the SEs floppy drive the disk mounts with 8-character-names and all metadata is lost, so the SE can't open anything.
Formatting the disk to Mac format on the SE creates a disk the iMac mounts as read only volume.
I also have a G4 iMac at home, would using it in-between help?
Thanks for any useful hints!
David

Mac OS 10.6 and above can only read HFS disks, not write to them. You will need to transfer the software from the iMac to another mac running 10.5 or lower (i'm 99% sure that 10.5 could still write to HFS disks, however if not then 10.4 tiger definitely could). And then from that mac, transfer the files to the floppy disks after they have been formatted in the SE.
.... HFS is the format that the SE uses, not to be confused with HFS+

Transferring settings from old Mac o new iMac

Hi! I just placed an order for a new iMac on the Apple store. Currently I sync my iPhone, iPad and iPods with my PowerBook G4. Once the new Mac arrives I plan to sync my iOS devices with it, I understand that there is a migration or setup assistant that will transfer all my settings from the old Mac to the new one.
Are there any tips or special precautions I must take? Should I use a USB cable, Firewire or use wi-fi?
Thanks,
Cesar

You can use an ethernet cable, a FireWire cable if your laptop has a FireWire port or a wireless network. In your case the ethernet is probably the easiest because even if your laptop has FW it is likely to be FW400 and the new iMac has FW800, so you would need an adapter or adapting cable.
You may wish to read up on the precautions for going from PowerPC to Intel Macs.

HT4715 I cannot access my windows computer from new iMac using remote desktop or App from App Store! I have called and received no support from apple or windows

Please help with connecting a new iMac to an office windows based computer. I have checked everything and neither apple or microsoft support remote connections live.

Try using Migration Assistant following this guide:

There is advice in this document for using Migration Assistant from Time Machine or other hard drive.

Can't access App Store, new iMac right out of box

I hate to start another one of these threads but the only thing I've done since initially booting my Mac was try to access the App Store to download Xcode. Nothing has been installed. I can get to the Internet through our guest wireless. Everything is brand new straight from Apple as of today. No antivirus. We've tried making sure the class 3 public certificates are operating by first trying to set them to "trust always" then followed another threads instructions to get them set back to autos elect. Nothing. There's nothing on the computer, (other than mountain lion and ilife i think) so there's no danger of deleting any data, but we have no discs to do any kind of repair with. Help!

Ken ...
Congrats on your new iMac!
Check GateKeeper for downloading apps from the App Store.
Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click System Preferences.
Then select Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Select: Mac App Store and identified developers
If that area is greyed out, click the padlock icon bottom left corner of the window. You may be prompted for the admin password to make changes.
Restart your iMac and try downloading Xcode.
OS X: About Gatekeeper
but we have no discs to do any kind of repair with
New Macs no longer come with install discs. If it's necessary to reinstall OS X, repair the startup disk, or reformat, that must be done over the internet. Apple strongly recommends a broadband high speed connection.

Transferring Data form both PC and mac to new iMac G5

Saturday I can go and collect my brand new iMac G5.
My father can get his as well.
But as I used to work (at home) on a PC. I'm looking for a fast (and easy) way to transfer my data to my new iMac.
3 different computers are in use.
My iBook G4 at work.
My PC (windows 2000, with ethernet card and firewire-ports).
My dads old PC (windows 95, no ethernet card and no CD-RW-drive)
How should I handle this?
I was hoping to make a network connection with both Ibook and PC to my new mac. Do I need a cross cable for the connection Imac - PC? Or will a normal ethernetcable do the trick? Or should I even use a router?
Is firewire an option for the PC as well or will this give problems?
And how should I make my PC recognize the mac or vice versa?
And any suggestions concerning the old PC without network-card?
Perhaps placing the harddrive in my PC with networkcard? I don't think there is place left in the oldest PC to install a network card.

2. the windows 95 without network? The computer has 2
USB ports, but if I'm not mistaken windows 95 doesn't
support USB, so a memory stick isn't an option.
Is there perhaps a possibility to create a network
over parallel or serial ports?? Bit like over
firewire, but slower?
In theory you can use the serial port, but this would be impractical.
I would suggest buying a cheap ethernet card ($10) and network it.
You could remove the drive from the Windows95 PC and install it on the newer PC.

Trying to get my iTunes content from new iMac to my Powerbook, best method?

Want to have all my content on the go, how can I get my desktop content into my Powerbook, firewire through migration? Use iPod? Network them with ethernet? PLlease help!

Connect both computers with a FireWire cable, start up the iMac with the T key held down, and move the iTunes Music folder from the iMac to the PowerBook; by default, this folder is Music/iTunes/ in your account's home folder, which is in /Users/ unless you've manually changed it. Quit iTunes before beginning the process.
The Migration Assistant should not be used in this situation; it cannot migrate data to an existing Mac OS X user account.

Transfering music from new iMac to iPod without losing songs on ipod

Hello,
I've just finised uploading all my CD's onto my new iMac. I now wish to download the contents of the iMac's iTunes library onto my iPod (click wheel but not video) without losing the songs that are already on the iPod. The iPod was originally synced to a Windows PC which was used to download it's existing library. There are a number of songs on my iPod that are not in my new iMac's iTunes library & also a large number of songs that are already on the iPod.
Basically, I want to know how I can download all songs from my iMac's library that are not already on the iPod without losing the songs I have on the iPod that are not in the iMac's iTunes library (Ihope that makes sence).
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Dave!
Yes, you can do this.
First off, do this to prevent iTunes from automatically syncing your iPod:
1 - Open iTunes.
2 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
3 - Basically as soon as your iPod begins to display "Do Not Disconnect", begin to press and hold the Option and Command keys on your keyboard together simultaneously.
4 - Continue to hold these keys for about 20 seconds, throughout the time when your iPod is showing up in the Source List in iTunes.
After you've done this, click on your iPod's name in the Source List (the Source List is the left panel area of iTunes), and under the "Summary" tab, tick the "Manually manage" option for your iPod. Also, go to the “Music” tab, and ensure that the “Sync” option isn’t selected.
Click the “Apply” button in the bottom-right corner to save your changes.
Manually managing the songs on your iPod will allow you to preserve the current content that you have on your iPod, and transfer new content from your iTunes library to your iPod.
When you are connecting your iPod to a computer that is different than what it is normally synced to, you will get a message that says something like: "The contents of the iPod "your iPod's name" is synced to another iTunes library. What would you like to do?"
You will be given a couple of options, and make sure to click on "Cancel", and NOT "Erase and Sync" (or else the current contents of your iPod will be erased, and the iPod will be synced with your iTunes library).
So, after you've saved your iPod's songs from being automatically synced off of it, you can transfer your iPod's music to your compter if you wish.
You can install a third-party program onto your computer that can do this copying.
Try using Senuti.

Remote access mac from pc

I want to be able to remote access a mac mini that I use as an HTPC when I need to move files around and such b/c it is not so easy to do on the big screen. It would be much easier to just access the mac from a laptop when I need to do things on the mac.
I went to system preferences and saw the options for screen sharing, remote login, and remote management. I have tried using all these options but I don't know what to do on the pc to access the mac. I tried using 'VNC Viewer' and entering the address I was given, vnc://192.168.1.7/ but I couldn't connect. I also looked in the network shared folder and I don't see the mac.
If what I am trying to do is possible, then how do I do it?

Hi
For the PC download any or all of these:
RealVNC
TightVNC
UltraVNC
Use whichever one you like or that works. Make sure you download the latest versions/updates. On the mac launch System Preferences and select Sharing. Enable the Remote Management option. Click the Options button. Enable desired settings. Click OK. Click Computer Settings. Enable the "VNC viewers may control screen with password" option. Supply a password. Don't use the same password as the local admin account. Click OK.
On the PC launch any of the viewers for any of the three applications suggested. Key in the IP address of the mac and provide the password when prompted. You may have to change screen resolution settings?
All of this assumes both mac and PC are on the same network/subnet. If you're trying to establish a remote connection then you will have to 'punch'appropriate holes (port forwarding) in the host site's firewall/gateway. You'll also need to know the external IP address of the host site. By host site I mean the site where the mac is. The site where the PC is would generally be referred as the remote site. You may also want to consider logmein?
HTH?

Removing Office Test Drive from new iMac

I purchased Office 2004 with my new iMac. The installation instructions inform me to remove "...any Preview or Test Drive versions....". My attempts to uninstall the Test Drive have failed. The "boxes" I am instructed to check are not there. I have searched for hours on this and the MicroSoft site to find an answer to this dilemma. Did I miss the solution in my search?

Just drag the "Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive" folder
to the trash - empty it - and install the new
software.
Just to add a bit here: this should work if you've never actually run the Test Drive version. Until you've actually run the Test Drive, nothing has been installed for the uninstaller to find.
Once you've run the Test Drive version at least once, it'll install all of its libraries and fonts and stuff all over the hard drive, just like any other program. Then you'll need the uninstaller.

Can't print in color from new iMac running 10.10

I recently purchased a new iMac to replace my 10 year old machine. Its great. However, I can't print in color to my HP Photosmart 7510 all in one. Its not the printer because I printed a test page from the printer and it was color. I have tried to print from iPhoto and Creative Cloud Photoshop CC. I left a post on the HP forum and also left a question on the HP support site and have gotten nothing. If anyone can help me with this, I will be grateful. Hope I don't also need a new printer. I uploaded the latest driver for the printer. Maybe that is the problem.
Thank you in advance. You guys on this site are awesome!

Hi,
When you print are you sure that you have print in color selected? if you do then try re-installing your printer. This video helped me.
