I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.
How many pictures (or how many bytes) are we talking? Now that the pictures are imported one way to cross users is to use a removable drive (although large volumes of files preclude this).
The other is to login as the user where the pictures are, then copy them into the public drop box of the user where you want the picture.
The arrow is showing (in ths example) copy files from the Pictures folder for my user to the guest user accounts public dropbox. When you do this you may have to authenticate and you won't be able to see the results of the copy until you log in as the other user.
All users are in the folder "/Users/" -
Is there a way to use an ethernet cable and cinema display with the new Macbook Air
I just purchased a new MacBook Air and would like to connect to an ethernet cable and to a 30: cinema display. Is there an adapter that would allow one to do this?
Yes you need one of these it's a Thunderbolt hubs
http://www.matrox.com/docking_station/en/ds1/
Price $249
Or
http://www.belkin.com/thunderbolt/
Price $299
The Belkan is due for release immenantly and note those USB ports are version 3.
This is what Thunderbolt is all about it's an external PCie and far more than just a cable -
I have, on order, a 13" MacBook Air (128Gb) and intend using Migration Assistant to transfer data from my 4 year old MacBook 13" (White) on set up.
I have ordered an Apple USB Ethernet adaptor and have today purchased an Ethernet cable.
I will want to transfer;
Mail........Mailboxes, their contents and account settings. In fact the lot except the application itself.
Safari..... Bookmarks, Cookies, Saved Passwords etc. As above
Google Chrome.........same
Address Book
iCal
iTunes
iPhoto
Documents. Excel, Word, Powerpoint & pdf's (a clean install of Office for Mac 2011 will take place on the MBA)
MacBook and applications are currently up to date and I've read about disabling the energy saver to sleep option.
Is it all that simple or am I missing something?
Can Account Information in Mail be migrated?
Will saved links be transferred in Safari (especially that of my ISP's customer area)? You have no idea what navigating around Orange France is like !
Sorry if I sound a little naïve but I'm English, retired and living in France and the nearest Apple Store is a 3 hour drive away so I'm doing it all myself.
Thanks
RichardUse Setup Assistant when your new Mac first starts up. See Using Setup Assistant on Lion (it's a bit more complete).
Unless you choose to omit things, that will set your new Mac up exactly like the old one, except for a few preferences, etc., that may be different for the different hardware.
If your old Mac isn't running Lion, there will be some other differences, too. See Changes in Lion from Snow Leopard. -
I want to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable. This should allow me to pass thru high definition video and simultaneously decode Dolby Digital material with an HDMI connection from my receiver to my TV without the use of an optical cable (my receiver does not have an optical input). I am unable to decode 5.1 material and don't understand why this is not working. In the audio setting I have Dolby Digital output turned on.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you sure the content you are playing has Dolby Digital. -
HT204291 Using an ethernet cable for Apple tv
I found that my mirroring was lagging. Would it be possible for me to connect to the Apple tv with an ethernet cable?
I plugged the Apple TV box into my router via ethernet, and voila! All works now. I can mirror my desktop just fine. HBO Go apparently shut off video streaming (FAIL) so I guess I'll watch that stuff on demand or on my laptop.

I have just bought an airport express to connect to the Ethernet cable in my cabin. It's all set up all lights green and I've set up my wifi connection. But when I try to connect my I pad 3 or my iPhone 4 it finds the network but cannot seem to join it. Can anyone help?
Hello Lucy:
As I am not on the ship, I am "fishing" to see if I am able to help.
On the ships (cruise type) I have been on, there is usually a secure "ship" wi-fi network (as well as one that passengers may use for a fee) that needs a password to join.
On your iPad, go to settings and then tap Wi-Fi. What network are you connected to?
When you plugged in your Airport Express, you should have been prompted for settings...including security.

The PC keeps saying "Waiting for your Mac to Connect" and the Mac keeps saying "Looking for Computer" I have no clue what to do.
I suspect you didn't follow the Migration Assistant instructions. Please carefully look over:

If you still cannot get it give AppleCare a call, the number is in your owner's manual. You have 90 days of free telephone support when you purchase a new Mac. They can assist on the OS X side but remember they may not speak MS Windows. -
I have checked on a couple of places where it shows how to use a cable to connect the ipad to a computer and share the ipad screen but through the meeting room on the computer. Is there any way of doing it all from the ipad or tablet device (Android based)?
Thanks for your help!!No, this functionality is not available on mobile devices. You can mirror your screen onto a computer, as you mentioned above, but that is the only option.

Using OS 10.5.8, Apple Mail, new message symbol appears but not the mail
Using OS10.5.8, apple mail, it shows I have a new message but when I go to that mailbox there is no message. Then when a new message comes in, the first hidden message is now gone. What happened to it, was it really there in the first place?
Hello, as a test...
Make a new Smart Mailbox that only includes Unread Mails, do they show in that Smartbox?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist. -
The PDF docs opened in Firefox are very light and the color of print is multicolored shaded. Different parts of display different shades of any color but black. Just loaded newest Adobe Reader, did not help. Previously running Reader 9. Haven't had a problem till Firefox 6. If I fool with the Window Color in 7 I can effect the PDF doc. Lowering saturation level to nothing helps, but doesn't fix problem.

I set up a new time capsule on a wireless 4g modem. I started the initial backup. It's been five hours and it still says "making backup disk available (4.97 GB of 18.52 GB)." Can I stop the whole thing, connect my computer to the time machine using an ethernet cable and start over to increase the speed of the backup?
Thanks,

oh i already did that. Im working on my imac and looking into this on my macbook. Was able to reproduce the issue again by trying to open TM. Locked out the finder again and had to restart. I checked the serial number and it was an early 2009 purchase with no coverage.
If you bought a Mac and got AppleCare with it, within 2 years of buying the TC, the TC is covered, too.
I have to admit that this $500 unit was the first to apparently junk out. The western digital that had my main data on that is my daily external that I store about 2TB of data on is still perfect and the new technology TM appears to already be cashed. Love the computers, not to big of a fan on the externals of the apple TV's. No life expectancy. Neither here nor there.
suggestions before I either get this looked at or scrap the HD on it and move forward.?
Reset the TC. See [Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728].
Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
If all else fails, take it to your local Apple Store or Authorized Repair location, they may be able to determine whether the disk is dead.
If it is, they might replace the TC for you. If not, they won't repair it, but if the electronics are ok, you can replace the HD yourself, if you want to. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2542983 -
How do I connect an iPod touch to Internet using an Ethernet cable
My daughter,s college has no WiFi in the dorms, but each room has an Ethernet connection. WiFi routers are not allowed. Can we connect the iPod touch to the Internet using the Ethernet cable and some sort of hardware or patch cord
No. The iPod will only connect to the internet via wifi. The USB connection provides NO internet connectivity.
Maybe you can cheat and setup a laptop with an wifi card as a hotspot

HT4743 ethernet connection and Apple TV
Do you connect the ethernet to the router itself? If so, will this improve the extremely slow download times?
Thanks for the input and I understand that this is a relatively basic question. I have a broadband connection that comes out of the wall without any type of modem. The problem is that I have only one ethernet port on the back of the iMac and that is being used for my internet connection. Is there some way that I could use an ethernet hub to (1) have an internet connection on my computer using one ethernet cable and (2) stream music and movies to my AppleTV using a separate ethernet cable? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Can i unplug time capsule from the ethernet cable and still use it??
can i unplug time capsule from the ethernet cable and still use it??
I have tried to extend that wireless line but as soon as i remove the LAN cable i have no internet connection anymore. So basically, does the TC get the signal wireless from the router??
The Time Capsule can wirelessly extend a wireless signal....but only if it is being provided by another Apple AirPort wireless router.
If the "main" rotuer there is not an Apple AirPort router, you will need to connect to the network using a wired Ethernet connection.
