Synchronizing Mac Book and IMac

I have Mac Book and recently I bought IMac. Have transferred all the data and settings to the IMac.
Now I wonder how can I keep both synchronized??

You might look into [SyncMate|http://mac.eltima.com/sync-mac.html] to see if it will fill your needs.

Quicktime in mac book and imac

when i try and open a video clip with my mac book it opens as a text file but when i try and open it with the imac it opens and plays the file..what am i doing wrong with the mac book when trying to open these files.... is there a setting i haven't done correctly or what... we recently switched from pc and laptop to mac and both macs were purchased within the past month... thanks in advance for any help

Does the video work if you first launch QuickTime Player and then select the video though Player's Open command?
If it does, then you just need to associate that type of file with QuickTime Player. Locate the video in Finder, click in it once to highlight it, then select Get Info from the File menu. Look in the window that will open for a section titled "Open with:". In that section you'll see a pulldown menu that probably now says "Text Edit" or something other than QuickTime Player. Click on the menu, select QuickTime Player, and click the "Change All..." button. That should do the trick.
If you can't open the video even when using the Open command in QuickTime Player, post back with details about the video (at least the file name extension - .mov, .wmv, or whatever) and we'll take it from there.
Regards.

Sync mac book and iMac

how ca I sync my mac book with my iMac, so that i have the same database on both of them?

Check out the application called "SuperDuper!" at www, shirtpocket;
SD will 'clone' your Mac to your Macbook if you start the Macbook in Target mode.
You'll have 2 identical Macs with identical everything.
Now there's a start for you

Error on mac book and imac

The server “server iMac” may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again. I get this message when I turn on My imac or macbook. I connected them to transfer files and now i cannot get rid of the error message. How do I fix it?

Do you have the latest version of Toast 7?

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

What is the difference between a mac-book, and an I-pad?

What is the difference between a mac-book and an I-pad?

The Macbook is a computer (running Mac OS X), an iPad is a tablet (running iOS). What are thinking of using it for ? The Mac is more powerful than iPad, so if you need processing power then that will be better suited for your needs. If you will mainly be using it for media (films, music), internet browsing, emails, ebooks, then an iPad would be sufficient.

i am looking for an option of avoiding duplication of mails - that is mails deleted shouldnt come again on the other device.

Depends on what passwords you are talking about. Most passwords you have the option to change whenever you want.

My wife has an I Tunes account on our PC, I have an I tune account on my Mac Book Pro. How can I get the music from her account on the PC to my account on the Mac Book and I phone?

I need help to delete my icloud account from my iPad. It has "Find my iPad" on it and won't let me delete without the old password. I don't want to reset password as it will require reset of Mac Book Pro and 2 iphones. Help appreciated.
Your description of the problem is a bit confusing. Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE?

Recently Got a Mac Book and was wondering if there is any software that Apple recommends to import my music/pics/video from my Iphone onto my computer. I no longer have the previous compture and if I sync my Iphone I'll lose everything.

This is the iTunes for Windows forum...
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new windows installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup! (Windows tip). For a Mac use Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner.

I HAVE A MAC BOOK AND I CAN GET TO WORK THE CD 1 IT DOESN'T READ AND ONLY APPEAR A ICON LIKE A FOLDER WIR ONE QUESTION MARK, CAN SOME BODY HELP?

I HAVE A MAC LAP TOP MAC BOOK AND WANT JUST TO REINSTALL THE SOFTWARE I DONT CARE ABOUT MY FILES I HAVE BACK UP BUT WHEN I INSERT THE DISK VERSION 10.5 WHICH COMES WITH MY COMPUTER DOESN'T WANT TO READ I HEARD THA IS TRYING BUT NOTHING,
CAN SOME BODY HELP ME...

There is a possibility that the disk drive could be broken, if it just spits it back out that usually means its toast. If your MacBook has a Core 2 Duo processor, you can install Lion (via a thumb drive not disks). Here is a link to the Lion thumb drive.You can also still order them for $19.99 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. Also you can borrow an external disk drive and try the Leopard disks that way as well.
Good Luck!

HT204150 i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad?

i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks roy

There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

HT204388 how do I switch between my mac mini and iMac using iMac screen?

how do I switch between my mac mini and i mac using i mac screen? I thought it was using F2 but that does not seem to work.

To switch between your Mac mini and iMac, you just have to turn on or off Target Display mode. To do it, press Command and F2 keys in your iMac, not only F2

File sharing between Mac Mini and iMac "breaks" after reboot of either device, and won't restore. Why? Running Maverick 10.9.1 on both. File sharing is setup on both. Help.

I'm a new user - recent convert from longtime Windows to Apple. Thought having desktops and computing aligned with phones and tablets would help. Not so far.
I have a MacMini running Mavericks 10.9.1, and an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1. File Sharing is set up on both. If either device is rebooted for any reason, file sharing from the Mac Mini to the iMac "breaks" and will not easily restart. Various things eventually brings the connection back - usually having to do with checking and unchecking File Sharing, the AFP button, and/or the SMB button on the iMac - but never the same procedure twice in a row. File Sharing from the iMac to the Mac Mini is never disrupted - always comes back up without a problem. Screen Sharing also works between both without fail, and comes up after reboot of either. No problem there. Only difficulty is from Mac Mini to the iMac.
Why? Any ideas?

Should also clarify - usually takes multiple hours of checking/unchecking file sharing settings in order to restore the share between Mac Mini and iMac. NEVER happens automatically.
This is disruptive because I've got the Mac Mini pointing to several file locations on the iMac for various things - photos, music, etc. - and they all hang up unless the share is restored. Real bummer.

Getting error "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." on mac mini and imac but it works on old macbook pro

Please help! My hard drives work on all other computers except new imac and macmini.

Both the mac mini and imac do not have cd drives. The trouble is why should I repair the external HDs when they work fine on other computers? I'm running OS X 10.8.4. I feel like its an OS X problem but I cant say. I will try the suggestion but I absolutely cannot reformat these drives right now becuae it would be way too time consuming to recover all the files on them
