Syncing iChat on the mac to the iPhone
im just curious if this feature is available
what i would like to do if possible is to send messages from iChat on the mac to a iPhone and the reciever would get the text as if i sent it from my iphone
im not sure if the two "ichat and iphone to iphone messaging" are using the same system so im sorry if my question doesnt make sense im just wondering if it would be possible to do it cuz it seems like a conveiniant feature, especially when abroad so that i dont have to deal with international texting charges
I'm afraid I don't have access to iChat anymore as I'm using Messages which replaces it. If you don't want to use Messages (which probably involves upgrading your OS, though I do think it provides the solution you're looking for) then it would be better for me to bow out and hope that someone steps in who can answer your iChat specific queries. Sorry!

I'm having trouble with a sync alert. It's not clear to me if the default sync for calendar is my iphone (3G) or my mac (shows 82 modifications). I want it to default to the mac but the wording suggests the iphone. Anybody know the default device and if it can be and if the other can be selected if desired
Also, I don't see any way to do the sync on an individual entry basis for calendar. Looks like it will only do all of them at once. I'd like to go through them one by one to confirm which entry is correct.
Thanks

Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone. -
I cannot sync contacts between my iPhone 4s and MacBook Pro after I upgraded the Mac with the latest operating system software upgrade. Even the Mac Store couldn't help...
That is because that sync ability (for contacts and calendars) has been removed. Use iCloud instead.

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place? If so, how can I disable it or get Adobe Flash Player?
That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

How do I effectively join the Macs to the AD?
Hi. First, I must qualify that I am NOT a network individual. Some of the research I've done, I've managed to follow, but I don't have the technical know-how to fully understand it all. I desparately need help, please.
I work in a medium-sized environment, about 50 PCs and we employ Windows Server 2003. I've been charged with making 10 or so Macs work in Active Directory. Our Mac users constantly run into expiring netword passwords every 30 days (extending this is not an option because of the nature of the work).
How do I effectively join the Macs to the AD and allow changes to network passwords from the Mac? So far, for every Mac users, I've used SMB to connect to server files/folders. But when the users' password expires, they are 1) not notified that their passwords are expiring and 2) are not able to change their passwords from their Macs when their passwords expires. I've tried binding my Mac to the AD and used a free software called ADMon to monitor my own expiring network password. And that's proving useless because it's monitoring the local password for the Mac instead of the network password.
Mac users are mostly on OS Lion, one Mac user on Snow Leopard.
I would really appreciate any help/advice you can provide.
Thanks!AD is still broken with Lion as at 10.7.2. May want to read this thread to try the workarounds, mainly Page 5, while Apple sort it out.

I am trying to migrate my iTunes information from my PC to my Mac. I have installed the migration software required on the PC. The problem is that the Mac and the PC never link up even though from the PC I can see and access the Mac in it's network neighborhood.

I can't get my pc to see the printer connected to the time capsule, it sees and connect to the network but will not see the printer. The mac in the office see both the network and the printer connected to the capsule.
Suggest that you check to make sure that you installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC.
Run the program and hopefully it will find your printer so you can select it and click to get things going. -

Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store. Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays. You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor. If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected. I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

hey, can i clone my Macbook Pro internal hard drive and then paste it all onto a formated external hard drive, then make the Mac use the external as the primary hard drive? please help for i only have around 618mb left out of 189GB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If what doesn't work?
If cloning your internal drive to the external drive is not successful, I expect CCC will tell you so. Assuming that doesn't happen, you will have a bootable replica of the internal drive on the external drive once CCC has finished.
You can then do any of several things:
1. Replace your internal drive with a much larger one (320GB or 500GB, or even larger), and clone the external drive's contents onto the new drive so you'll have all your data in one place. Note that if you do this, you'll also need to buy an external drive that's large enough to back the new internal drive up on.
2. Boot from the external drive as a temporary measure while you clear at least 30-40GB of data off the internal drive, allowing you to keep using it and saving small amounts of data to it. The external drive will then contain the only copies of the files you've deleted from the internal drive, so you'll need a seond external drive large enough to back both the other drives up on.
If you can't comfortably clear a minimum of 30GB off the internal drive, you really need a larger internal drive right now, and you shouldn't bother fooling around with the inadequate one you have — you'll just quickly overfill it again.
3. Replace the optical drive in your MBP with a large conventional hard drive, giving you two hard drives inside the machine. You will then need one or more external drives large enough to back up both of the internal drives.
If you sense a theme here — back up, back up, back up — you are correct. It's flat-out foolhardy to own or use a computer without maintaining complete, up-to-date backups of everything at all times. -

How to restart the mac like the first time you use it?
how to restart the mac like the first time you use it?
Surefire way is by completely reinstalling the OS after erasing the Macintosh HD boot volume.
I think there's a way to coerce the Setup Assistant to run once again like on First Start, but requires erasing a couple of files in the drive. Don't know which ones right now. -
