Syncing Firefox across Mac and iPad mini 2

Hi there,
I do a *lot* of research and web browsing on my Mac Air with Firefox (google chrome seemed to consistently freeze my macbook air forcing me to hard restart). I currently have 2-3 windows with a good 30 tabs or so open on each. (I know, I know, judge me all you want! haha). I also love my speeddial. In the interest of making my own experience seamless across my ipad and my mac air for productivity purposes, is there a way to replicate my firefox browsing on my ipad, so when i go between devices, I can, for exampl,e have tabs that I'd like to share from my ipad appear in a new window or as a new tab on my macbook? Similarly, can I have my existing firefox speeddial from my mac air be transported to Mercury browser on the ipad?
Thanks for your help!
Kevin

There's no way to do it with firefox because there is no firefox web browser for the iPad.
As to exporting/importing tabs and bookmarks from firefox to mercury, you'd need to dig into how mercury works to see if they allow or support that.
You may want to experiment, because I'm not sure if the iPad has the system resources to maintain 30-60 open tabs on any browser

How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email?

How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email? I've signed out and signed backed in on all devices but it still doesn't work. Phone number shows up on my iPhone only. Apple support article does not help, the screen don't even match mine.

Hi believer924,
Happy Holidays! What version of Mac OS are you working with? The article below will explain how to confirm your phone number is linked to your Apple ID for iMessage. On your Mac, you should be able to remove the checkmark in front of your email address in the "You can be reached by iMessage at" and "Start New Conversations from" sections of iMessage settings.

Your iPhone telephone number is linked to your Apple ID when you sign in to FaceTime or iMessage. This allows you to use your iPhone number with FaceTime and iMessage on other iOS devices.
This feature isn't available on iPod touch (3rd generation) and iPad (1st generation).
This feature is available with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later.
On OS X, find out which addresses are enabled:
In Messages, choose Messages > Preferences > Accounts. Select iMessage in the left column. Your contact preferences should appear under "You can be reached for messages at:."
OS X:

HT1692 Syncing calendar between laptop and iPad mini

I can't sync my calendar between my laptop and iPad mini. I don't want to use iCloud, especially as when I tried it, all my entries were duplicated, which took up the whole calendar. Other apps will sync, but the calendars refuse. What can I do?

YOu can sync via iTUnes and not use iCloud. When you connect your iPad to your computer look for the 'info' tab. Then when you scroll down you should see the option to sync your calendar. Tap on that and sync and you can sync your calendar without messing with iCloud.
Alternatively, its not quite syncing, but you can export your calendar from the calendar program, e--mail it to yourself, open that mail on your device and then save your calendar info from there.
I've had to do it both of those ways because I export my work calendar and can't sync with my work computer, also when I upgraded to windows 8.1, iCloud wasn't compatible for about a month or two so I would have had a blank calendar for that time.

Why can't I download Pages, Keynote, and Numbers for free even though I got my Mac and iPad mini as a student?

I bought my Macbook Pro and iPad mini at the Palisades Mall, New York location and was told that I can get those same apps for free on my Mac. I have been using my iPad mini for assignments and have never been able to download Pages, Keynote or Numbers on my Macbook Pro, despite having the same Apple ID and having all of these apps on my iPad Mini.
I don't know the exact day I got my Macbook Pro, but I have the serial number and I know the month and year I purchased it.
Yes, I got the student discount on both items, but the apps are only on my iPad mini.

iOS and OS X versions of these apps are entirely different apps. Getting one free doesn't entitle you to the other.
Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers purchased on or after October 1, 2013. OS X Yosemite required. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.

Kindle syncing/downloading issues (Mac and iPad)

I have a iMac and iPad and both have the Kindle app on them both are egistered devices with my Amazon.co.uk account, I downloaded a free book sample to the Mac and it didn't sync with the iPad when I plugged it in for a general sync.
So I tried downloading it drectly again from Amazon to the iPad bearing in mind it's a 4-5 page sample book it has now taken 20 mins of syncing and still nothing 'in the cloud'?.
Q1: Why did it not sync in the first place when the iPad was doing a general sync?
Q2: what is and average length of time to sync a book to the iPad?
Q3: How do I get this book onto my iPad!?
I'm on OX Mountain Lion and the iPad is about 6 weeks old on version 6.0.1 (10A523)

Syncing doesn't work with the Kindle app, you need to use Amazon's site to send samples to the Kindle app - I don't think that samples will appear in the Cloud tab in the Kindle app, only full books.
To get that sample into the Kindle app on your iPad go back to the book on Amazon's site, and on the right-hand side of that page you should be able to select which device to send the sample to ('Deliver to') - if you then open the Kindle app on your iPad (and it's connected to the internet) then it should download to it (if it doesn't do so automatically then tap the refresh icon, the circular arrow, at the bottom right of the screen). I've just tried it on my iPad, and after tapping the refresh icon a book sample only took a few seconds to appear.

How to sync mail on mac and ipad?

Is there a way to sync all of my mail on both of my devices? It used to work ok but now I'll open mail on my ipad and it shows all the new messages but when I open mail on my mac it only shows what it had before, no new ones. Also works vice versa, I'll get new mail on my mac but not my ipad. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Using iCloud ??
On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Mail then reselect it.
On your iPad, tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Mail off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your mail.

Ouldn't sync Ibook between mac and IPad after upgrade to X10.9

Couldn't sync the ibook after after the OS to X10.9

hi dan,
well, from what i've read, it says every time i sync and after it goes over some memory quota, apparently it starts to charge for every sync, etc.
what do you think?
and i am thinking OTA refers to "over the air" right? (guessing!)
thank you!

Issues syncing iPhone 5 and iPad mini with outlook calendars

I am having issues syncing my iPhone 5 and iPad mini with Outlook calendar. This is a new problem since I upgraded to IOS 7. I am now using ios 7.0.2. I have removed air sync for calendars and that has not resolved the issue. Nothing new on my calendar is syncing to my phone or ipad. Any suggestions?

To use AirPlay, you need these:
iPhone 4 (or later), iPad, iPad mini, or iPod touch (4th generation or later)
For videos or photos: Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)
For music: Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers or receivers

You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.

How do I get my entire photo stream to my new iPad. I use my ICloud and some of them showed up but most if them did not. I am trying to sync the photos from my phone to an iPad 1 and iPad mini.

How do I get my entire photo stream to my new iPad. I use my ICloud and some of them showed up but most if them did not. I am trying to sync the photos from my phone to an iPad 1 and iPad mini.

Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

ITunes 11.2.1 doesn't let me sync new songs purchased on iTunes to my iPhone 5S and iPad mini Retina

I hope someone can help me. I've purchased 5 new albums on iTunes 11.2.1. I've created playlists and cannot sync them with my iPhoen 5S and iPad mini Retina under iOS 7 (latest version). I check the playlist and sync, but on the iPhone or iPad, the playlist shows the songs being on the cloud. I try to download them and it won't let me me. I have deactivated iTunes Match on my MBP..... I've spent money on new albums that I can't listed to on mu iPhone or iPad. How frustrating!!!

The same thing is happening to me now and it's just been since the update before last, it seems. And the strange thing is that it's only doing it to songs that are demo-versions (I'm a musician) that have no metadata or ISRC codes or anything. Songs in this format have been transferred in the past without any problems, but that's changed; they show up as ghost songs on my iPad mini (which is fully updated) and any playlist that has one of those ghost songs in it will not play, even if the rest of the songs are fine.
I think Apple needs to address this fast because I'm sure I'm not the only one receiving non-commercial Mp3s or .wav files and needs to use them in various forms on our devices!

I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad. How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream.

You can create a Quicktime movie slideshow of the book's pages and share that. Here's how to get your book into an iPhoto slideshow and then export as a Quicktime video:
1 - While viewing the book type Command+P to start the print process.
2 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
Note: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
3 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
4 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. Immediately select all of the photos in the new album and sequentially renumber them as "Page " using the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text with the option to add a sequential number to each title. This is to let you put the pages back in the correct order in the event they get sorted incorrectly.
Now you can proceed as follows: create the slideshow in iPhoto and export it out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large (480p with iPhoto 9),
Happy New Year

TS3999 my Mac and Ipad calendars stopped syncing

my mac and ipad calendars stopped syncing. What do I need to do to get them to sync again?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Any way to sync my 10 MAIL accounts across macs and on iDevices? Thanks in advance for you help

Dear friends,
over 21 years of fumbling with mac (PowerMac 7100/66) I have rarely bothered to get tips but I cannot seem to find, though I cannot believe this, a way to sync MAIL ACCOUNTS (and the keychain too ... but that is secondary) across Macs and iDevices.
As I piled up email accounts I am in a position, am sure not entirely unknown to some of you fellow Macusers, to have about 15 email accounts that more or less frequently I need to monitor. As things stand, with the killing of the otherwise pretty bland MobileMe, I am forced to enter those account for every new user or hard-drive or iDevice I have while.
I think that is ridiculously cumbersome and am convinced that there must be a third-party or a mean to have the mail accounts synced across different Macs, partitions and/or iDevices using Lion and iCloud.
Can any kind soul spare a valid tip to save me from the boredom of serial e-mail settings?
Thank you very much in advance for the help you will provide.
Sincerely,
FrankieC

"Did you make the .psd file with a transparent background (checkerboard) in Photoshop? And when you placed it in AI did you choose the top option Convert Photoshop Layers to Objects?"
Yep, and it still didn't work.
But I figured what I did wrong: I was selecting both the text and the heart, and then I was doing the whole Object>Wrap Text>Make thing, as opposed to just selecting the heart and doing it. Once I did it, I moved the heart around on top of the text, and it "made room" for the pic, wrapping itself around the heart.
Thanks so much, and thanks A MILLION for being so patient.
Jeez, when can I get some textbook to learn all the intricacies of Illustrator?
