Use A Macbook Air like an Ipad in Itunes

Hello,
I have an iMac, a Macbook Air, an iPad, iPod and an iPhone.
My iMac is kin of the home base. Here I have all my songs and videos in iTunes, pics in Aperture and so on.
I´d love to synchronize my Macbook with Itunes of the iMac the same way as I do with the iPad or the iPhone.
Is that possible?
Tnx
Marcus

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using Shared Photo Streams in iCloud, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support articles linked below.

I am unable to see the airplay icon on my macbook air, iphone or iPad which would enable me to use my Bose speaker through airplay. I set this up in the UK but have taken my macbook and bose speaker travelling with through Thailand. Ive wifi in my room and am able to access the internet on my laptop, Ive also been able to through the Bose Soundlink air wifi set application connect the bose speaker to the Wifi too.
I am only able to play my itunes through my macbook speakers and cannot find the airplay button which should be next to the volume slide once turned down to less than 1/3 of the volume..

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

Hi,
I have an update so I thought I would share in case any other users are experiencing a similar problem.
I made an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple Store.
I went in and they ran a thorough diagnostic check on my Macbook Air and determined that the sensors were indeed faulty - several were providing no information "No reading" instead of providing a temperature. Thus, the Air was unaware of the temperature across multiple components.
Despite the laptop being outside the 12 Month Manufacturer Warranty, the Apple Store determined that it was covered under warranty through Australian Consumer Law - the laptop is now in for a complete repair under warranty at no cost to myself.
I couldn't be happier.

I recently bought an Airport Express and connected it to my TimeWarner modem. Am able to surf the internet using my MacBook Air, iPad, and Apple TV, but the AirPort Express has a blinking amber light. How could I change it to a green light?

Can I use my Macbook Air with my apple TV?

I have just purchased and Apple TV box to use with my phone and Ipad. I was just wondering is i can also use my macbook air (late 2010) with it as well. I can stream my itunes through the apple tv and play all my songs but i was wondering if I could mirror the screen onto my TV. I am useless with all the macbook jargon i have seen in other posts so need some simple help. I am operating on Lion 10.7.5. I have read that nwer software could help but i would like to know for certain before purcahsing the latest software.
Thank You

Yes, but you must update to OS X Mavericks using the Mac App Store. When you do, you will see this icon in the menubar:
I hope I solved your question.

How to use my macbook air as a dvr

I would like to use my MacBook Air as a DVR in this manner: I would bring up a flick that I missed and stream it (after the "live" broadcast"). I would like to record it to my "MacDVR" and play it back enabling me to Fast Forward thru the commercials (saving time and patience). The recording can be done in the background, even if the MacBook's cover is closed -- a set it up and let it run for a given time type of process. I do not necessarily want to edit the recording.
I do watch some programs on NetFlix thru my AppleTV, but CBS is notorious for NOT allowing this for their programming. I do not have cable TV, only TWC as my ISP at 20Mbits, and a hefty price ($66/month). I use OTA antenna for my TV (not a big watcher).
So is there a program out there that can do this?
Thanks.

If you have a valid sim card or know somebody who has one, stick that in there to activate your phone, then just take out the sim after you're done activating it an it should work fine.
Hope this helped!
Cheers

I CAN'T GET MY MACBOOK AIR, IPHONE OR IPAD CONNECT TO EACH OTHER THROUGH BLUETOOTH. I HAVE TRIED ALL THE SUGGESTIONS I HAVE READ, INCLUDING RESTARTING DEVICES, FORGETTING DEVICES, TURNING BLUETOOTH ON AND OFF.

I am unable to connect my Macbook air, iPhone or iPad though bluetooth. I have tried all the suggestions I have read. i.e. toggle bluetooth on and off, turn devices on and off, forget devices and then pair. I seem to be able to pair but the devices immediately go to not connected and a message appears that reads: make sure devices are turned on and in range.

Pairing the phone with the car is one thing, but paring to the computer is not generally supported. Tethering is using the cellular data access from the phone for the other devices. It is part of Personal Hotspot. If you aren't aware of what it is, then it probably is something you do not use.
As far as the car is concerned, what is not working? Does the car not see the phone, or the phone see the car, or after you start to pair something fails? If you provide more information about the problem and what you have tried to do to correct it, then we can offer some solutions. What version of the iPhone, what iOS, and what year and make of vehicle?

No, that is done deliberately, since letting other programs poke around in the iphoto library is the fastest known way to corrupt it and make it wither up and die, along with your photos. If you want to use PSE with iphoto you have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Edit them, then save without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits + original, although you have to lose the edits to see the original again. You may need to set the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing to make this work.
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes of any sort that you like, save the file, and import it to iphoto as a new file.

Connecting macbook air to my ipad

I want to connect my Macbook air with my ipad but for some reason they connect recognise each other but won't allow anything to transfer between them. Any ideas?

If you are trying to do this via Bluetooth, there is no support for file transfer over Bluetooth on iPads so the Mac will not find it.
If you need to transfer things between them you need to use iTunes and the provided USB cable that came with the iPad.

Are you referencing your Photoshop image files, or Photoshop application files?
If the latter, cease and desist at once!
Always install Photoshop from scratch, from the original media: CD/DVD or download.
If the former, please provide details:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

If I put the dics into my DVD Player, it plays just fine. If I insert it into a computer, it opens the disc like a memory stick or something: I can open the files, but it won't play via Macs DVD Player. Can I do something so Macs will recognize the disc as a Dvd?

Bag that will carry MacBook air 13 AND iPad

Ok. Let me preface this by saying I'm very very particular about my bags and what I'm looking for may not exist but I'll give it a shot. Here's what I'd like:
1. A backpack format (although messenger or sling would be ok)
2. Holds MacBook air 13" and iPad
3. Laptop portion is made for the air (I.e. not "for laptops up to 15", etc.)
4. Has several small compartments for cables, power brick, mouse, etc.
I've looked all over and can't seem to find anything that fits this bill. There are a TON of bags for larger laptops and some even have iPad slots but I haven't seen one for an air and an iPad.

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

Please take the Mac to Apple store to have it checked out.

TS4055 How do I use my MacBook Air to access the Amazon Web Service?

How do I use my MacBook Air to access AWS (Amazon web Service)? The information provided to me by Apple Care seems to be about allowing outside access to my MacBook.

Sorry, but does this relate to Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs, in some way? If so, how are you using ARD in relation to Amazon's services?
