I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro laptop I work mainly on the desktop but when i go away for work I take my laptop. Is there any way to make it automatically back up to mirror my desktop? Like when I update a file it updates on there too, if I install software it installs on there too etc?
When I first got the laptop I syned it to load with all the same software etc but it hasn't continued to sync
Thanks

I use
Chronosync (http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html)
and
Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/)
Both work very well. The former I use for manual, one-way synchroniziation of (nearly) entire systems. The latter for automatic syncing of very active directories through local and shared online storage.

Yahoo Mail basic - works on iMac desktop but not macbook pro?

Settings appear identical but yahoo mail basic will not work on mac book pro mail but OK on iMac desktop mail...... whats that all about?

Is your iMac OS current? Your MBP isn't: (10.6.2)
Use Software Update to update your OS to last version of Snow Leopard - OS 10.6.7. Install all the other updates that goes along w/it.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the AirPort Forums for instructions.

I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

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.

Connecting remotely from my MacBook Pro laptop to my imac desktop

Hi, I have an imac desktop computer with Leopard and a new MacBook Pro laptop with Lion. I'm looking for a quick, easy and inexpensive way to remote from my laptop into my desktop.
I would like full access to the computer. My internet provider is Verizon fios.
thanks in advance, mnm

If all you want to do is remotely control your computer, only at home, you can do that with no additional software.
If you want to remote control your computer from any internet connection. Then you might want to consider LogMeIn or Slim. Both of these programs combine Dynamic DNS & Remote Access. Meaning you don't need to configuring your firewall, or setup additional software. Both tend to work in places that try to block Remote Computer Access. (schools, companies, government)

How do i remote from macbook pro to my iMac desktop?

how do i remote from macbook pro to my iMac desktop?

screenshare. look for your imac in the sidebar of your mbp finder window. right click and choose share screen. or there is an option for it when you click the user. either way, screen share will come up where you can control the desktop of the other computer after you login with the appropriate account.
you'll need to have screen sharing available in system preferences>sharing>screen sharing

If one buys pages , can i download it and run it on my desktop AND my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? its only me using one machine at any one time. (Have recently purchased a second hand iMac and secondhand Mac book pro 17")

If one buys pages , can i download it and run it on my desktop AND my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? its only me using one machine at any one time. (Have recently purchased a second hand iMac and secondhand Mac book pro 17")

I have a couple or dozen or so excel spread shheets that I use origionally created in M/s Excel v.5.0 ( yup some time ago although have run and updated them on office 2007 perfectly etc. AND numerous word files that I refer to. I have also run these files using Open Office on a small 13" mac Book Pro. successfully.
I have now decided to change my personal use computers > macs.
Ok, so in summary then i think you kind guys are saying:
(1) That if i buy Pages & Numbers or even iworks which is Apple's suite of such programs i believe, then I can download and Run these apps /programs on each my personal mac computers whether they be my second hand Imac or second hand 17" mac book pro. ( basically i have purchased these so that I am converting to the "Apple Side" and can use the Imac desktop while at home and Mac book pro when out and about) , under the one purchase and one licence.
(2) The decision as to whether to Buy M/s Office for Mac v Pages & Numbers or the iworks suite is that if I have lots of MACROs in my existing files written in M/soft that it would be better to go for M/s Office for Mac. I understand that Macros are the automated thingys ?? I have formulae obviously inthe fairly simple spread sheets but not aware of any macros. So I guess that means ~ I could purchase either product by the sounds of it. yes? Are there any other obvious things i need to consider?
Other INFO:
Also, I have snow leopard on one system and Maveric ( pretty impresive!) on the other. i am slightly reluctant to upgrade the snow leopard o/s as I would have to upgrade the paralles software and probably Windows software as well in order to run an old Kitchen, drawing program that I use occaisionally. I know that one should be able to partition / and Boot camp but I really don't want to do that. I feel at this stage its not worth payingtoi up grade all these bits of software for something I rarely use. But I am open to anyones comments / views.
Thanks.

Have imac desktop with OS X.6.8 with three users two screens show dock third does not all dock settings same any suggestions

Have imac desktop OS 10.6.8 with three users. two show dock items, one does not but all dock settings are the same for all three. Any suggestions as to problem solution?

I found the problem. It is in Parallels 6 application. When windows applications folder is shown in dock Parallels uses 100% cpu and somehow effects ability to show dock and it remains hidden. I expect Parallels is working on this problem. Temporary fix is to not have folder shown, then dock returns to screen.

I just purchased a new iMac and my Hard Drive is not showing on my desktop.

I just purchased a new iMac and my Hard Drive is not showing on my desktop. It doesn't show up on a finder window either.

No. It's what I've named my boot drive.
New Finder windows can be set to open any selected volume or folder of your choice.

I installed a new hard drive on my mac book pro and it is not showing on the desktop

Installed a new SSD hard rive because the old one died. It is not showing in my desktop so I can transfer my files ( decided not to use time machine but to transfer manually.
On the preferences window, the startup disk is showing with a question mark but when I click on it, it shows the hard drive , which has already been initialized and the OSX ( Mavericks) installed.

"it shows macintosh HD OSX 10.9.5 but the hard drive that is supposed to be in the upper right corner is not showing up. So it is booting from that drive."
Ok go to "Finder" preferences and make sure the "Hard disk" box is checked.
That will make your boot disk show up in the upper right corner. You can tell it's a boot disk because all the files will look like this instead of just being blank files.

External HD w/ TM Backup not showing up on desktop

I made a backup of an Intel iMac to an external drive and no longer have the iMac. I want to access the backup drive on Powerbook G4 so I can retrieve so pictures. The HD is not visible on the Powerbook. The HD does show up on a Macbook so I don't think the backup failed. BTW, I've tried it on both USB ports on 2 different PB's so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
Thanks.
JB

Running Leopard 10.5.5 on the Powerbook, 10.5.4 on the USB external Drive.
Hard disks do not have operating systems so you must be meaning something else.
When I did the disk utils on my Macbook, the external drive showed no problems and none were corrected.
I'm confused, how many Macs do you have? 2 PowerBooks, a MacBook, and iBook & iMac (according to your profile stats at the bottom of your posts). And what OS version is each one of them running?
I did the finder preferences and "show drives" on desktop was already checked. My internal HD appears on the desktop. The status light on the external drive shows solid green.
I have 2 identical Powerbooks and it does the same on both. I guess my real question is "Will an Intel based HD show up on a G4 computer?" and so far the answer appears to be no.
On the contrary, I currently have a GUID partitioned HD attached to a Powerbook G4 (OS 10.4.11) and it accesses it fine. It had originally been formatted when it was connected to a MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.4.

What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?

What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?
I have a Firewire cable and Thunderbolt adapter, but no icons showing either Mac appear on either desktop.

The fastest way is to use Carbon Copy Cloner and a external drive formatted GUID OS X Ext. J in Disk Utlilty, then connecting to the new Mac and using Migration Assistant in the Utilites folder.
Even faster, if you can determine your going to replace all the apps from fresh sources anyway (like if the older Mac's OS X verison is old thus the apps) then just use a external drive and copy just your files to it, then connect to the new Mac and transfer over.
Some apps you can just grab the registration code and install it fresh on the new machine with the old code, talk to the developer about transfering the program, as long as it's deleted on the older Mac in the process.
It used to be Firewire Target disk mode was fastest, but since Thunderbolt came out...
Notice this support doc hasn't been updated since june 2012, no Thunderbolt info

USB Drive and iPod do not show up on desktop

Hello,
I put the computer to sleep when I'm going to be away for awhile and overnight. When I come back and wake it, my USB drive does not appear on the desktop. I have to restart the iMac to get it to come back.
Also, when I plug my iPod in, iTunes updates it and then within 10 minutes, the icon does not show on the desktop but I can see the iPod in iTunes.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brad

I did run the hardware test and everything passed.
For about 3 hours last night, everything was working fine. This morning the USB drive icon is there but not the iPod. I think I will try the OS reinstall but not for about a week. I will be out of town all next week and can't get to it before I leave.
Something may have gone wacky while loading some application. A couple of the suspects would be Adobe Lightroom beta 4 or Google Earth. This issue only started within the last 5 days or so and I think those are the only applications I've loaded in that time.
Thanks for the help in eliminating some of the culprits. I think the OS install should fix. If not, it may be time to have Apple take a look.
