SL wake-up my IM and MBP

Since I've installed Snow Leopard (family pack) on my iMac and MacBook Pro I can not shut them down or put on stand-by. They turn-on few seconds after...

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course, but make sure that your external disk is formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". If not, Time Machine may refuse to back up your external drive. Apart from that, your MacBook Pro and the external disk will be backed up.
It doesn't mind if your external disk isn't plugged when a Time Machine backup is being made. In this case, only the MacBook will be backed up, and the external disk will be backed up the next time you plug it in

Can I download FCPX on my imac and MBP using the same apple ID?

Hello, I am just wondering how it works with mac store apps. I use both my imac and MBP for my work. Will I have to re buy FCPX for both, or can I use it on both with the same apple id? This works with apps on my 2 iphones and ipad, but I was not sure about imac and MBP.
Thank for any info you can give

Don't mention it. Although I'm one of those dispised Americans. Worse yet, I come here for four or five months then leave. Then I tell all our American friends awful lies about Canadians.

How do I change the appearance of password page on Yosemite? Not my desktop or screen saver but when I wake my computer up and put in my password. The Yosemite colors and images are awful! Thank you.

Appearance of Yosemite password page - how to change it from the automatic one?
I can't remember what previous operating systems showed at this point but I do not remember being disturbed by it every time I woke my computer up as I am now!
It's not my desktop or screensaver but when I wake up my computer and am asked for my password.
Thanks.

This is Fiona who asked the question. It's now been pointed out to me that the image is actually my desktop photo blurred. From close up I just saw contorted colors and blurred lines and hadn't linked it to my desktop photo!
Still would like to know the answer because I hate it. Any ideas anyone?

Since downloading latest software update for "numbers", Mac is now extremely slow at loading anything and has trouble playing videos (buffering). Also when put Mac to sleep, it wakes up by itself and then back to sleep, etc. Please help!

OK, thanks. First, open Disk Utility and the Repair Disk Permissions on your internal HD. You can find DU in Applications - Utilitie. After doing so please restart in Safe Mode, this is easily done by holding down the Shift Key on your keyboard when you hear the start up tone, you will see a progress bar appear letting yuo know it's starting in Safe Mode. Then reset the SMC and PRAM, instructions can be found by clicking iMac SMC and PRAM reset. Then retest.

Can I sync my iMac and MBP in word processing?

Is it possible to sync an iMac and MBP when doing word processing? If so, how can it be done?
I know there are programs that can sync iCal bewteen the two such as BusyMac. Is there one that do the same thing with a word processor?
Thanks.

If you keep you documents in the same folder on both units it is possible. I usually just pick up the folder and drag to the one that has the older files. This way the folders remain updated.
You can also use Mobile Me, something I do not have to much knowledge on.

Apple tv and mbp

im on my mbp and want to watch a podcast on apple tv but when i use apple tv's remote it's not also controling apple tv but its also hooked up to my mbp... however thats a nifty feature but is ther a way i can turn it off from my mbp for now?

I am sure that I have done that correctly. Apple TV and MBP states that a remote has been paired, but still both work on both devices. Is it possible that both remotes have the same ID (by coincidence)?

Suitability of MBA and MBP for FCPX ...

Hi there,
i am going to purchase either a 13" Macbook Air or Macbook Pro & plan to use FCPX on it.
the problem is I discovered the following:-
a) the anount of RAM is so low as compared to my iMac whic has 32gb RAM.
b) i always read that it is better to get a dedicated video RAM but most of the latest MBA and MBP only comes with on board video RAM.
c) the HDD though is a flashed based but is so small, start from only 128gb. Could it be that Apple wants us to buy an external HDD ?
cheers & thanks

So in my case, better to have a fast processor or a bigger RAM ?
I have never seen a beachball using FCPX (see my specs: I'm on the very low end of hardware).
(I've seen crashes … it's not all pink here )
Aside 'no background rendering' … or manual initiated rendering (to see complex compos in real-time…) :
Imho, it's all about 'delivery': put each stream on its own 'platter' = no beach balling, no stutter
And with stream I don't mean the source(s), but what you see on screen:
in case, you do pic-in-pic, compounds, MultiCam, you see 2/several streams - then, I recommend 2/several drives …
to over-exaggerate:
when you put the sources of a 4x camera MultiCam on 4 different drives ==> no stutter, no beach balling at all, even on antique, underpowered systems… ok, that's over-the-top, my several external, simple usb3 drives deliver each 2-3 fullHD streams flawless ...
best practice is it anyhow to separate Events from app/OS/cache…
I would suggest a min. of 16GB Ram.
The number-crunching (rendering) is mostly done on GPU, not CPU.
Last, silly comment: benchmark tests test benchmarks!
Means: FCPX + MacOS + Apple hardware sums up 'higher' than expected.
Don't be too focussed on GHz and stuff, no -user is interested in …
Shall I link again to my stunt? (some board members: "Nooo, not again!!" <yawn> )

AX Test using PB G4, MacBook and MBP - is it the AX or 802.11b?

I recently bought an Airport Express so I could stream iTunes to the main stereo. iTunes keeps cutting out. I'm using a NetGear MR314 802.11b - also tried a linksys 802.11b and same results.
At first I thought it might be the distance of the AX from the wifi router...so I now I have all 3 laptops and the AX within 5-7 feet of the wifi router and still iTunes cuts out.
I'm completely baffled.
I confirmed AX has the latest FW v6.3. I tried turning interference robustness on and off.
There isn't much to change config wise on the AX or the Netgear.
I find it hard to believe that streaming iTunes over 802.11b is more than it can handle. No other traffic is occurring over the wireless during my test.
Thoughts on additional testing?

Additional testing...
From each laptop I'm pinging the router and www.google.com.
The G4 has a consistent response of 3-5ms (router) and 75-80ms (google) where the other two (MB and MBP) have responses all over the field. 4ms to 1000ms to router and 70-1800ms responses to google. So something is clearly different between the airport cards of the G4 and the MB/MBP and the way they interact with the Netgear.
So I would only assume the AX would have similar responses like the MB/MBP since it is probably the same type of airport technology and not the older type in the G4 (just speculation)
The above is not even streaming iTunes.
When I stream iTunes even the G4 response times go up - 90ms to the router (vs 3-5ms w/out iTunes streaming) and 138 ms to google (vs 75-80ms w/out iTunes streaming).
So what conclusions to draw?
1) Airport cards in the MB & MBP have an issue communicating with the Netgear yet the G4 doesn't
So what about the AX?
If I'm directly connected (ethernet) to the Netgear my response times don't change and they are 1ms to the router and 67ms to google - so the Netgear itself isn't having issues...only the wifi between it and the laptops.

Cannot make call from MBP, although both iPhone and MBP share the same ID

Both my iPhone 6 Plus and MBP with Yosemite have the same Apple ID, iCloud and Face Time details - account (and the same Wifi). Yet, when I try to dial from MBP contacts, I get this message, I don't understand why.

Find my friends is designed to locate DIFFERENT Apple ID's. So if you want to use FMF for this purpose, you would need to create a different apple ID for one of your devices.
OR, you could use the Find My iPhone App. Which will display ALL of your devices.

TC hibernates and wakes hdd's over and over again?

Anyone else has experienced same problem after latest TC update that causes TC hdd and usb hdd attached to TC sleep and wake continuously? It happens about once a day and only TC boot helps. TC puts hdd's to sleep and then wakes them up over and over...
Without a reset/boot it continues to do so as long as my nervous can last... Before latest firmware this never happened. Is there anything to be done to fix it? I have turned all other devices of so they dont check TC hdd's but it did not help.

Sync problems between iPhone4 and MBP

I want to copy the Contacts from my iPhone to my MBP and overwrite what is on it, and Contacts not on my iPhone that are on my Mac, I want brought over.
I have:
Two contact lists; on my iPhone4 5.0.1 and MBP 10.7.3
I am using Outlook for Mac 2011
Some contacts are identical on both devices, but my phone has the more current info of contacts, even ones that share the same name on the MBP
When I connect the iPhone via iTunes, the Contacts on both iPhone and MBP sync together, and here is where the problem begins.
The info from the MBP will go to the phone and create duplicates. And the next time I connect via iTunes, it will even create a triplicate on my iPhone! and on and on.
So I want to make the contact list on my iPhone go to my Mac, and whatever is on my Mac and not on my iPhone, to be brought over.
Does anyone know the steps to make it happend this way? I have searched the forums and not finding an answer. Thanks.

I'm not sure there is an easy solution to this but I'll at least give you an idea. I don't think there is any way around having to identify which contacts on your mac are unique (not on the iphone); that's the hard part. Then I would do the following:
I would work with Address Book as that can import and multi-VCF (vCards) than can be exported from the iPhone (more on that in a minute). I assume if you can get the contacts correct in mac Address Book, importing them to Outlook would be a straightforward process (although I don't use Outlook 2011 for mac so I'm not sure)
As a precaution I would start by exporting your mac Address Book contacts for safekeeping. This is done by opening Address Book, click on any contact, select all contacts (command-A or Edit>Select All), then File>Export>Export vCard, save on the desktop.
I would then delete all contacts except the ones unique to Address Book (i.e., not on the iPhone)
Next download the free app My Contacts Backup on your phone (paid version if you have > 500 contacts). This will back up your iPhone contacts as an attachment to an email. Send this email to yourself and open it on your mac, double-click the attachment to import the contacts to Address Book. Your Address Book contacts should now be the way you want them. (Do not delete the email as you may need it later.)
Now replace the contacts on your iPhone with the contacts in your mac Address Book. As you did before, open Address Book and click on any contact, select all (Command-A), File>Export>Export vCard, save on the desktop with a different filename that the last one.
Open My Contacts Backup on your phone, tap the Settings (gear) icon on the lower right. In the screen that opens, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts. (Don't worry, you saved the original email so if anything goes wrong you can use it to re-import them as they are now.)
Open the new email you sent with your mac Address Book contacts, tap the attachment to import them to your iPhone.
You should now have identical contacts on both your iPhone and your mac Address Book, with a merged up to date list.
Not sure how you sync your mac Address Book to Outlook, but I assume that can be done (even if you have to delete your Outlook contacts and import your Address Book ones as a replacement). Hope this helps.

HT1555 Two remotes - Both still work with Apple TV and MBP despite pairing

I have a MBP (early 2011 13") and Apple TV. Therefore, I paired one remote with my MBP and the other remote with Apple TV. Both parings have been successfull (chain icon) but still both remotes can be used on both devices. How can I resolve this issue? (and no, I don't want to disable the IR on my MBP)
Is it possible that the two remotes have by coincidence the same ID?

I am sure that I have done that correctly. Apple TV and MBP states that a remote has been paired, but still both work on both devices. Is it possible that both remotes have the same ID (by coincidence)?

MBP seizes up on wake up with Yosemite and too much RAM

This is part question and part warning for the good of the community if this is happening to anyone else.
Setup:
MBP 13", Early 2011. 2.3Ghz i5.
16GB of RAM, 2x8GB (Apple says a max of 8GB is allowed), it originally had 4GB, 2x2GB.
Admittedly, I've "over RAM'ed" the machine. However, it was fine under 10.9.5.
Moving up to Yosemite 10.10 caused really odd behavior. I'd boot up the machine, no problem. Close the clamshell, wait 20 minutes. Open the clamshell. Blackness. The only way to revive the computer is to press and hold power button or about 10 seconds and let go. Then press power button again. Heartbeat led appears, screen revives but shows the resuming from hibernation loading bars at the bottom of the screen. Like what you'd see if the machine had been left to run out of power and go into a deep hibernate state and you plug it in and turn it back on.
Steps I've taken:
Apple Hardware Test (reboot, hold option-D to get blue screen testing suite), both normal and extended test (extended took about 2 hours). RAM checked out fine.
Re-installed a clean copy of 10.10, previous had been an upgrade. Wanted to make sure there weren't any cobwebs that might be causing this.
At this point, I've removed one of the 8GB chips to put the machine to it's recommended limit of 8GB in one chip slot. This seems to remedy the behavior. I'll wait until 10.10.1 is released, put the chip back in and see if it still does it and will continue to do it with each release until it behaves.
If anyone has any other recommendations or troubleshooting tips, I'd love to hear them.

You may have gotten some bad RAM.
The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.
