NAS storage, or networked together, Airport Extreme
with Airport Extreme, you can have an attached HD on the back that any MAC on the network can read / write to
thats what I do, easy.
attach a HD on the back of your Airport Extreme, put files, etc etc on it for any Mac or network to use / read / write to.
Also I store movies on it that I can watch WIFI on my Macbook Air, or ipads
what fun.

Sharing content between macbook air and imac

Hi there,
I appreciate this is a naiive question but i want to share content from my imac to my macbook air (music and photos not on my stream). Everything (calendars etc.) is all synched up using the cloud but can I simply connect my macbook air to my imac and drag away?
That seems too simple!

If you want to share just a few gigabyte of data and aren't concerned about putting stuff in the cloud, consider DropBox. Or....
1) Open System Preferences on both computers & select the Sharing tab
2) In the left side of the dialog box there's a list of sharing services. Turn on File Sharing (I also use Screen Sharing which lets me control one Mac with the other. Convenient at times) In the top give each computer a meaningful name if you haven't already.
3) Give the computer a minute or two and then from one computer (doesn't matter which) open a Finder window and look under the shared are of the sidebar. (You may need to turn on the shared devices in the Finder preferences)
4) in the dialog box enter the user name and password for the computer you are trying to share not the computer you are logging in from.
5) you'll get a window of your user directory and from there you can find the data you want to copy onto your computer. You can also copy data from the computer you are using onto the computer you are sharing.

IMessage stopped syncing between MacBook Air and iPhone 5

Hello,
Until the weekend my iMessages synced between iphone and MacBook Air, but from Monday I have been sending and receiving iMessgaes from my phone which never arrive at the MacBook. I didn't get the iOS upgrade till yesterday so it's not that, and haven't knowingly made any other changes over the weekend. I've checked both setups and both are syncing using my phone number plus 3 email addresses.
Can anyone tell me how to fix it please?

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so:
Apple - My Apple ID
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
Sign out on the iPhone
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage.
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.

Only some iMessages sync between Macbook Air and iPhone?

Not sure what the deal is. I've been iMessaging a friend of mine on my phone for a couple days and the phone messages are all still there, but only a few of the messages synced with my Macbook once I started using it to message her. I have a couple more convos that have been exclusively on my phone, the last message showing on the Macbook is three days old even though I've messaged them on my phone since then. I've tried logging in and out of iMessage on both devices, not sure what to do about it.

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.

Then, on the phone, tap
          Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

Syncing between MacBook Air and iPod Touch

just a few questions to confirm before I commit on the new Gen.5 iPod Touch:
(1) will they sync wirelessly both ways? (i.e., from MacBook to iPod and from iPod to MacBook)
(2) can this wireless syncing be sheduled to work automatically at pre-set time intervals? .... and if so, what intervals are available?
(3) will this syncing interfere with the automatic hourly backups from the MacBook to the Time Capsule?
(4) can this syncing work "backwards"? (i.e., if there's something that's already on both of them, and I want to REMOVE it from both of them, can I accomplish this by removing it from one of them and then it will get removed from the other as part of the next sync?) .... (or, would I need to remove it manually from each of them?)
Thanks,

Sync between Macbook Air and Ipad

Good morning, I have a problem concerning a sync via Itunes between my Macbook and Ipad in terms of pictures in Iphoto. I discovered that after the succesful sync all the pictures that are vertical are shown at the end of the event. What I noticed, this is so because Iphoto has modified automatically the photo after copy from extern device (photo camera) and the pictures are sorted by date modified. My camera has an Auto-Rotate feature. However, the camera does not actually rotate any pixels in the file, but instead flags it with an instruction: "Display me this way". This is a tag in the Exif metadata.
When I import a file with this tag iPhoto creates a modified version. It does this because most of the apps that integrate with it - email clients, word processors etc - simply don't understand this Exif tag. How can I solve this problem?

Simply on the iPhone in the iCloud preferences turn off the contacts sync. It will ask if u wanna delete or not the contacts on the iphone. You answer to leave the Contacts on iphone. After that proceed to delete all contacts from all u're other devices and the iCloud site. A way to do it fast is to deselect the contact sync on icloud options in every device and when asked tell to delete the contacts from device. When u're sure that all other devices contacts are clean turn again on the contacts sync on the iCloud preferences for each device and at last the iPhone. After few the iPhone contacts will be sync to other device so u'll have same Contacts on all device. In this way when u'll made a change on one of u're device all other will have same change.

HT1338 I'm unable to update any software on my macbook air and iMac

I'm unable to update any software on my macbook air and iMac getting the following error "to update your software you need to sign in with the account you used to purchase it" any help is appreciated

Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
Then repeat step 4.
6. Select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
7. Launch iTunes and select
Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
from the menu bar.
8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.
9. Contact Account and Billing Support on this page:

HT204053 I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

No, you will not be able to do that.

Can i remotely share files between macbook pro and iMac

Want to know if I can do remote file sharing between macbook pro and imac.

Yes, absolutely. She can access her iMac from anywhere that has an Internet connection. If Screen Sharing is enabled, she can log in and use it as if she were seated at the iMac.
Provided the iMac's router supports the Bonjour Sleep Proxy (obviously all Apple AirPort Base Stations do), the iMac can even be asleep, and BTMM will wake it upon the router receiving a request to access the iMac.
The speed of her available Internet connection will be a limiting factor. Slower connections will be a bit laggy.
Her iMac will appear in a Finder Sidebar, under "Shared".

Sync workflow between MacBook Air and another Mac

I'm curious how people with two Macs keep their MacBook Air and other Mac in sync with each other. For example, how do you keep Address Book, iCal, and the word processing documents in sync so that you don't end up with multiple versions across two computers or the wrong data.

I don't know if the way I do it is the most efficient way, as I posted a similar question here once and didn't get replies. For regular files / documents, I put my MBA on the desk next to MBPro and enable "file sharing" on both computers, then with the Air I click on the shared computer name listed in the Finder, in my case lt lists Mac Book Pro and then all the files from the Pro ore shown on my Air and I can just drag and drop onto my Air desktop. Once I click out of the shared computer, I then drag that file to wherever I want it.
As far as ICal and contacts, the way I have been doing it is to keep my IPod Touch and the MBPro syncd together with all the iTunes junk and also my calendars and contacts and then at the end of the day I sync those two and then plug the Touch into the Air and it also keeps it updated on calendars and contacts. I would like to learn an easier more direct way but I don't want to buy 3rd party software of mess with .Mac

TDM is not working between my MacBook Air and iMac (2011m Mac OS X, 10.6.8).

The thunderbolt cable connects the MacBook Air and the iMac. System requirements are fulfilled but the shortkey provided in Apple FAQ does nothing.. Neither cmd F2 nor cmd fn F2
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Want to sync new MacBook Air with iMac.

Just got a new MacBook Air, and would like to sync (iCal, Contacts) with existing iMac OS 10.6.8, without using iCloud - at least until all the bugs are worked out of iCloud. Any suggestions or words of caution?

None that I'm aware of. I don't know precisely how to sync everything without iCloud but you can copy your data so it is on both machines. Just open adress book, go to File, Export and select Adress Book Archive, save the file then copy and open it on your Macbook Air. For iCal it's practically the same proceedure.
Hope it helps!
