If I loose my iPhone how do I look it up or find it from my MAC at home?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Assuming that you have enabled "find my phone" on your phone, then on your Mac you would go to iCloud.com in your web browser and use the find my phone feature.

    If you have copied them to your computer, then you will be OK.  Just deselect the photos when you sync.

    I have created files within the mail app and want them to be the same on my mac and iphone.

    You need a mail server that supports this then. Hotmail premium I believe does, but the free version does not. Gmail supports it, and any ISP that offers IMAP supports this capability. iCloud definitely supports it, so if you create a free iCloud email account and switch your primary email to it you would have this capability.

  • HT2486 HOw do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

    How do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

    Connect your iPhone 4S to your Mac using the iPhone’s USB cable, and then use iTunes to transfer your contacts from to the iPhone. (An alternate way is to use iCloud.)
    I’m not sure what you mean by “transferring email address” from the Mac to the iPhone. But if you mean you want to access your email from the Mac and the iPhone, the best way is to configure your email account over IMAP in Mail on both devices.

  • How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac? Thanks a lot. Carlo Molinari (Rome - Italy)

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac?
    The following are the basic steps to transfer your iTunes Media folder from your MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule (TC). Note: You will leave the iTunes Library, and its associated files, on the MacBook Pro as you will only be moving the media files.
    Be sure to shutdown iTunes before starting.
    Next, move the "iTunes Music" folder, located in ~/Music/iTunes/, to wherever you want on your TC's internal hard drive. Remember to leave the Album Artwork folder, as well as the three individual library files where they are on the MacBook Pro.
    Wait a while. If you have a large library, this will take a bit of time.
    Once the iTunes Media folder has been transferred, open iTunes. Note: It will still be looking at your local iTunes Library on the MBP. As such it will think that the iTunes Media folder is still on the MBP as well. However, we just relocated it to the TC. If you attempt to select any song, you will get an error that the song is "missing." Not to worry, we will correct this in the next step.
    We need to tell iTunes the media has moved to the TC's internal HDD. To change where iTunes "looks" for the media, open iTunes and go to the Advanced > General tab and use the "Change..." button to tell it where your new "iTunes Music" library is located.
    Once this is done iTunes will likely pop up a progress window telling you that it's re-analyzing your library. Let it complete this step.
    As a final check to make sure everything when as planned, click on any library file from within iTunes and press cmd + i (or View > Get Info). At the bottom of the Summary tab in that window is a "Where:" section that tells you the actual file path to that piece of media; be sure that path begins with the name of your TC's drive, and not "Macintosh HD."

    how do I upload a slideshow in an email from a mac?

    Your best bet would be to send the slideshow through a huge file sharing service.  Most if not all of them are free.  The top 3 majors ones I can think of off the top of my little head are:
    Rapidshare
    Transfer Big Files
    Mega

    How do I replicate my software and data my from current Mac desktop to my new Mac laptop?

    Connect the two with a Firewire cable: Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the old computer into Target Disk Mode. Start the new computer normally which should take you to the Setup Assistant if this is the first time you've started it. Use the option in Setup Assistant to transfer data from the old computer.
    If this is not the first time you've started the new computer then use Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder to transfer your data.

  • How do I move all the apps and podcasts from one mac to another mac?

    What is the best way to move all the apps and iTunes content (songs, podcasts, etc) from one Mac to another Mac?  I am switching to a newer computer.  I connect (with cables) an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2 to the old computer for syncing.

    Take a look at this.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    When I recently got a new MacBook, I set it up with Times Machine using a backup of the old computer. It could not have been easier. If you use Time Machine - that will copy the contents of the old Mac to the new Mac - iTunes library included. You will have to authorize the new Mac in iTunes - Store>Authorize this computer.
    There are ways of copying the purchased contents from the iPad to the new iTunes library as well if you need to do that. But as long as you have the old Mac - copying the library and putting it on the new Mac makes the most sense.

  • How can I transfer entire contents of Mail mailbox from one Mac to another?

    I've long wondered how to do this:
    I have two Macs - an iMac and a MacBook Pro.
    I have categorized several hundred emails on the MacBook into a separate "mailbox" by itself. Let's just call it "Project XYZ emails" for the sake of discussion.
    I need to transfer ALL of those emails +en masse+, hopefully still categorized together into a separate "Project XYZ emails" mailbox file, from the MacBook to the iMac. How is this done?
    In the old days, when I used to use Eudora, this was quite simple -- one could physically locate the separate desired "mailbox" file in the Finder and just copy it from one hard drive to the other, and then place the mailbox into the appropriate place of Eudora's file structure on the second computer. Relaunch Eudora and voila, the new mailbox is there for viewing, etc.
    But in Mail, I can't find any tangible "file" on my hard drive that represents a "mailbox" in the Mail program. And that includes control-clicking the application file itself and choosing "Show Package Contents." When I do that, I can see, after burrowing into the folders, a single large file called "Mail" which I think contains ALL mailboxes lumped together. But I can't see a way to separate them for individual manipulation.
    Any suggestions or ideas on how to copy entire mailboxes in Mail from one Mac to another?

    Thanks! Seems to have worked.
    Once I imported tham, I had to fiddle around renaming mailboxes and "moving" the emails to the desired locations, but that only took a minute. So overall, seems like that's the solution! I only wish that the steps to do this were made clearer by Apple in the Mail "help" menu -- where I couldn't find any mention of how to do this.
    A happy ending, in any event.
    In case anyone reads this in the future, let me add in the missing steps, to make it perfectly clear:
    In Mail, choose 'archive mailbox' from the mailbox menu.
    +Copy the newly created archived mailbox file, which will probably be a file with the suffix ".mbox," from the original machine to the second machine.+
    On the second machine: In Mail choose 'import mailbox' from the file menu.
    +The emails will now appear in a new mailbox in Mail listed under the name "imported" or "import." If desired, either rename the mailbox, or create a new mailbox with the correct name, and "move" all the emails into it.+
    Done!

  • How to access and control a Windows 7 computer from a Mac - long distance?

    I bought my parents their very first computer. They are 2000 miles away in another state. Currently I have the computer in my possession to "set-up" everything so it is as seamless as possible when they receive it.
    It is an HP with Windows 7. I have a mac. I would like to remotely access their Windows machine to help them when they need it - to be able to control theirs to show them how to do things and to do it for them if need be.
    Thank you for your time

    You are only as secure as web browsing to the LogMeIn website is (which appears to use HTTPS). If your login on that site is compromised, they will have a list of your computers that they can attempt to connect to. As long as you don't save the login credentials, they would then also need to know what username and password to use to connect to the computer. Granted, a little social engineering, and they could probably get some good ideas what to try for those, but if you chose to make your computers secure with complex and hard to guess passwords then it should be fine.
    I've been using LogMeIn from my Mac to my mom's Windows XP system from July 2009, and to my wife's Thinkpad running Win 7 since Oct 2009. None of the computers involved have had any security issues at all, let alone any caused by LogMeIn. For my wife's PC, it sits behind our NAT Firewall in our LinkSys Router (although I did have it behind a CheckPoint VPN Edge router for a while). My Mom's PC sits behind a Netgear Router providing its NAT Firewall. When my Mac isn't at home, it's generally behind that CheckPoint VPN router at my office now. It all works nicely from behind one router to behind another. The Piece that you install on the PC will log it into the LogMeIN website and that is how it gets through the router to the PC. You login to the website, select the PC to control, then login to that PC.

  • How do i sync my iWork documents to iCloud from my Mac?

    I can't seem to sync my documents with iCloud from my mac. I've installed the latest update for Lion and there are no updates avaiable from any of the iWork applications. The Douments I create on my iPad are there but I can't seem to sync them with my mac.
    This is a really important for me as i am a part time student and i work too, so i have to squeeze whatever time i can whenever i can to produce work. I can't always carry my macbook pro so i need to work from my iPad too and i dont have time to keep copying all my files across. I have used dropbox and google documents until now.
    Thanks,
    Dubstar_04

    It would appear that there's no direct way to synchronize iWork document between a Mac and iCloud the way there was with iDisk, or at least I haven't found mention of it anywhere, and I've been searching for it as I juggle between my iPhone and my Mac all the time. The iDisk sync wasn't automatic on iPhone, whereas iCloud is, which is great, but if you want the files on your Mac, you need to log on to iCloud from a browser, download the files you want, work on them and reupload them. Not exactly what I call seemless.
    Hopefully Apple will make iCloud more easily accessible from Finder soon.

  • How do I uninstall Firefox and other related files from a Mac laptop computer?

    I want to remove Firefox and other files that may not be removed from my Mac laptop computer. How do I do this?

    Firefox also stores personal data in the Firefox profile folder in two locations (main profile and cache files, see about:cache).
    */Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/
    */Users/<user>/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/Cache
