Setting up multiple "Desktops" on Macbook Pro
In getting acclimated to the new OS the only thing I struggle with is as a medical sales consultant when I'm working on multiple analysis worksheets and projects I often do a lot of application and file hopping and noticed that gesture wise I can't just toggle like I used to. What I did notice was that I can set up a second "desktop" that when using the 4 finger upstroke would allow me to toggle over and open/view a document or file that is sitting on my desktop..... like a client master file or roster list.
Is this the best way for quick access to icons and things that are permanent desktop files or apps that are housed there?
Thanks !
Thanks. Spent like 20 minutes looking for this particular issue..... found nothing. Posted a question and not only did you answer it but the sidebar of "like discussions" had it right there.
Reposted another question by the way.

Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro, and I get to the point where it tells me to view my email for further instructions on verification of my account, but there is no such email in my inbox, even after submitting multiple requests to resend the email. Any idea what I can do? Mark
Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point. -

Setting up my brand new MacBook Pro and it will not connect to the wifi network. Nothing wrong with the network which is happily working for my iPhone and iPad! Suggestions accepted for making this connection.
Fixing this is a two step process:
1) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
... check [√] Ask to join new networks
"Known networks will be joined automatically.
If no known networks are available, you will
be asked before joining a new network."
2) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
Close the window and save changes. If no joy, do a restart to ensure you are playing under the new rules. -
How do i set up iMessage on my Macbook Pro

HI Ralph,
I'm having a hard time finding solution for iMessage.
I can't send to one specific contact - we both use 4s iOS 6.1.3 and so is he.
We cant send to each other. We tried to on/off sign in And sign out Apple ID on both phone and still doesn't work
We even reset and erase content on his iPhone.
We use different Apple ID.
Looking forward to your reply, thanks in advance!
I have added some punctuation and spread out the text to see if I have understood what you were saying.
The Original Post was about iMessages from the Mac Messages app.
Now we are talking about two people with an iPhone each.
You seem to be centered on something being amiss with his set up as you have Reset and Erased his iPhone (no info on any restore from any backup).
Can he/could he contact with anyone else before you reset his iPhone ?
Can he contact anyone else now ?
If this person cannot contacts anyone from his iPhone it would seem he has not set up the iPhone correctly.
This may be a simple thing such as not having a Data Contract and therefore having Data Off and not be connected to a Wifi Network either.
It may be more involved such as there being an issue with his Apple ID.
If he removes the Apple ID can he Send from the iPhone Number ?

I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. After a few days or weeks, I have new files on some folders on either of the machines that is not on the other machine. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?
How did you transfer the files to the iMac. If you exported the files out of the MB library using Kind = Current you should get the edited version. Any other option may not.
If you want to keep the two libraries "synced" any photos you want to move to the iMac should be added to an album, connect the two Mac with a LAN, Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, with WiFi. and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album from the MB library to iMac library. It will also copy the original and edited versions, keywords, titles, etc.

HT204053 Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro.
Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro. I am running OS X. I don't see the iCloud icon in my systems preference folder period why is this? I am unable to set up my iCloud account.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table -
I set up homesharing between macbook pro and desktop pc. I have attempted to sync songs on my mac and pc, but the ipod will not sync the full library. why not?
Hey harold WD!
You will want to consolidate your entire library onto one computer using Home Sharing in order to sync all of these items onto your iPod. Use the following article to help you accomplish this:

External Trackpad won't switch desktops on MacBook Pro
I have a 13-inch MacBook Pro and I recently purchased a standalone wireless keyboard and trackpad. The trackpad performs all of the gestures correctly, except for the four-finger swipe to switch between desktops. The built-in trackpad performs the four-finger swipe perfectly fine. I checked the System Preferences for the trackpad, but it looks like there's only one set of preferences for all trackpads.
My wife has a similar setup with her new iMac and she doesn't have the problem. Both trackpads switch desktops with a four-finger swipe. Weird, eh?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.I think that the issue might be that there is no boot0 in /usr/standalone/i386. I have had similar issues lately when trying to make a bootable usb memory. I think this is necessary for the legacy option in the bless utility. If some one have a solution for this I would like to know as well.

How do I set Exchange Webmail in my MacBook pro?
How do I set an email in exchange webmail? I have an iPad and iphone and was able to do so easily but not so for the MacBook pro. There is no place to put the domain nor do I know some of the required data like internal or external server.
What version of Exchange is your organization using. Mail support Exchange 2007 and later, if they are on an earlier version you are out of luck until they upgrade. If it is on 2007 or later I found this under Mail's help menu:
Syncing IMAP and Exchange 2007 accounts
With Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) and Exchange 2007 mail accounts, mailboxes and messages are stored on the server so you can access them from multiple locations or computers. Mail syncs the mailboxes on your computer with those on the server, ensuring that mailboxes on your computer reflect actions taken while viewing mail on the server, such as marking messages as read, deleting messages, or moving messages between mailboxes.
Before using your account offline, manually sync the account with your computer so you know you’re working offline with up-to-date messages.
To manually sync an account with your computer:
Choose Mailbox > Synchronize [account name] or, if you have more than one account, Mailbox > Synchronize All Accounts.
Mail copies all messages to your computer. Depending on how many messages you have, and the speed of your connection, this may take several minutes. To monitor the syncing progress, choose Window > Activity.
To be more specific about which messages and attachments you want to keep on your computer, select the account in the Accounts pane of Mail preferences, click Advanced, and then choose an option from the “Keep copies of messages for offline viewing” pop-up menu. Keeping copies of messages and attachments on your computer ensures they are included in Time Machine backups and improves junk mail filtering.
When you go offline, you’re disconnected from the mail server. Any changes you make to messages are also made to the copies of the messages on your computer. When you go back online, the changes are copied to the server. -

I am trying to share files on my iMac with my wife's macbook Pro for which I am set up as a second user with administration privileges. I think i have the computers finding each other (for example my iMac shows up on the shared list in my wifes's finder window), but when I try to open a file it says I do not have permission(s). Is there a manual I can look at that walks me through this step by step.
I know I have to mark files on my iMac to allow for sharing. How do I designate a particular user as having permission to share. I only want to be able to share my iMac when I am logged in on my user account on the Macbook Pro (and vise versa, I would like to be able to access the files on the Macbook Pro, when I am logged in as the user on my iMac.
Thank you for your assistance and precious time.Through a browser.
I am supposed to have it set so that it is placed at:
http://c5414.airsight.net but nothing gets there.
Some places have mention that I need to set up port forwarding,
others have mentioned DDNS or UPNP,
How do I do these or is there a better way to send http://10.0.11.1/main.html
to http://c5414.airsight.net?
