  • Using iCloud on my work and home computer

    I'm loving the features of iCloud on Mountain Lion. What I would like to do is sign in on my work computer once I upgrade it to Mountain Lion as well so I can keep my safari tabs, reminders, messages etc synced. The only thing I'm worried about is when I'm on lunch or away of someone having access to my things. If I sign out of iCloud on my work computer when I leave for lunch will that sign me out of everything and make it inaccessable for others? Or would it be best to just sign out to the login screen?
    Thanks,
    - Joel

    Hi,
    The best way to manage work environment security would be to enable password login to access your session.  In system preference in the user section, enable the settings to ask for password.

  • What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

    What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans withiTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

  • How to cancel my personal subscription to CC so I can use my second team licence from work at home?

    How to cancel my personal subscription to CC so I can use my second team licence from work at home?
    Hi there, I have both a personal subscription and a team subscription to Creative Cloud. This means I also have to adobe.com accounts.
    My boss just informed me that I have 2 licences on the team plan, and I should be using my other team licence at my home office. (Can't do corporate work on a personal computer).
    So, how do I easily cancel my personal subscription and add my team subscription on my home computer? I'll need the second licence of software to be for a mac (my office computer is a PC).
    Hope this makes sense. Thanks so much!

  • Back up to one Timecapsule at work and a different one at home- automatically

    I want to have my computer back up to one Time Capsule at work and a different one at home - Automatically.  I would like to find some way to have it sense the different network or different time capsule and automatically switch between the two so I don't have to switch and switch back

    Sorry, but you'll have to open Time Machine Preferences to manually reset Time Machine each time that you change networks.
    You might want to let Apple know that you would like to see this type of feature on future products

  • I work nights. Can I switch Travel Time in iCal from work to home?

    I work nights. Can I switch Travel Time in iCal from work to home? I really don't have any appointments from 11 pm to 7 am when I work, but I don't want to switch when my day starts in preferences as no one else in my family works nights.
    Any suggestions?

    i haven't seen that option either, and it would be a great feature. (traveltime in a different colour...)
    i do it like this: in the caption of the appointment i put the time that the gig starts. the actual time stretch of the appointment is the appointment including traveltime.
    it's not the best way, but it works...
    good luck

  • How do I switch Travel Time in Mac Calendar from work to home?

    I recently installed Mavericks and have been using the new Travel Time feature in Calendar.  Today I ran into a problem, however.  I scheduled an appointment and put in the location address.  When I went to enter the travel time, it only gave me two options:  walking from work and driving from work.  There was no option for driving or walking from home.  This has never been a problem before.  What's going on here?

    From Calendar Help:
    Choose to see travel time from your starting location to the event’s location.
    To set your starting location, Calendar first looks for your location in any events that are up to three hours before this event. If Calendar doesn’t find a location, it uses your work address during work hours and your home address during other hours. (Your work hours are set in Calendar preferences using the “Day starts at” and “Day ends at” menus.) If your card in Contacts doesn’t have your addresses, Calendar uses your computer’s current location.

  • Two iCloud accounts for work and home?

    On my iPad2, I have a home email account and a work email account and work calendar.  If I set up a second (work) user account on the family iMac, can I have two iCloud accounts to keep work and home separate? I would like to share  pictures, home emails, etc with my wife's iPad and iPhone, but not share the work email and work calendar.   Will I be able to have both iCloud accounts share with my iPhone 4s and iPad? For now, I am using a google calendar for work on the iPad2 and sync it to Google.

    That's not a problem, you can create a second account from system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars, click on the small plus icon in the bottom left corner, choose iCloud from the list of options, click on the 'create Apple ID' button and follow the rest of the instructions.
    Note however, a secondary account has all the features of a primary account apart from photos stream and Back to My Mac, only your primary account can use these features.

  • Working: moving between work and home

    I am in the process of writing my PhD thesis and I hate lugging my macbook pro home every night. What would you recommend as the optimal setup so that I can transfer data between work and home with minimal things to take back and forth? Thanks!

    Do you have another Mac at home? If so, you may want to consider using Time Capsule as a Base Station and MobileMe. According to http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/wireless.html
    Access your drive over the Internet.
    Say you’re traveling and you need a file on your Time Capsule back at home. If you’re a MobileMe member using a Mac with Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard, no problem. You can access all the files on your Time Capsule drive over the Internet. Simply register your Time Capsule with your MobileMe account, and its drive appears in the Finder sidebar of your Mac just like any other attached drive. It’s like having your own personal file server wherever you go.
    This sound great but this had lead me to post the following "MBP, Time Machine / Capsule as a Base Station, MobileMe, and PGP? " (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2621954&tstart=0)
    If that question gets solved and is a route you might consider, then it would be good to be aware of "How to do a full system restore from encrypted Time Machine volume" (http://forum.pgp.com/t5/PGP-Whole-Disk-Encryption-for/How-to-do-a-full-system-re store-from-encrypted-Time-Machine/m-p/26837). This is not an immediately intuitive process, but the folks here seem to have it worked out.
    Optionally, if you did not want to bother with MobileMe, I think you can just use Time Capsule through a rather speedy Ethernet connection to your Mac at work. Addtionally, you can add additional drives to TM, if you require more data redundancy.
    I am guessing that it might be worthwhile to have multiple backups of a PhD thesis, with backups in more than one physical location. So, if this looks appealing and it actually works for your requirements, then you could likely have choice to:
    1) Just access work from other Mac via MobileMe
    2) Take TM home every night
    3) Take attached drive to TM home every night

  • ITunes at work and home

    I authorized Itunes at work and home. I am trying to sync to my iphone.
    The issue is I bought 5 songs from home and synced them fine. Then I came to work and bought 3 more songs and when I went to sync the iphone again it said it had to erase all my iphone content and then sync the songs.
    Why can't it just add the 3 songs to my 5 songs and not delete the whole thing? Then I'll just be left with the 3 songs from work even though I bought 8.
    Iphone 1.0   Windows XP Pro  

    The iPhone does not support manual synchronization. Use a hard or flash disk to transfer the files from one computer to the other, or if that isn't an option, use a service such as email or web storage to transfer them.

  • Following upgrade to osx 10.8.2 on my mac mini I can no longer connect to icloud, I wouldn't mind so much but I have come to rely on th eicloud services to manage my work and home services, has any1 else experienced this and has any1 any solutions?

    following upgrade to osx 10.8.2 on my mac mini I can no longer connect to icloud, I wouldn't mind so much but I have come to rely on th eicloud services to manage my work and home services, has any1 else experienced this and has any1 any solutions as this is messed up all of my work relations?

    Had the same problem this morning after updating to 10.8.2. Mail was finding my dot-mac account as always, but System Preferences popped up and said my iCloud password was incorrect. Did the "forgot password" reset, but still had the same problem. Then I went to icloud.com in Safari, logged in with the new password, it worked no problem. So I went back to the icloud preference pane, signed out of icloud, answered yes to all the warnings about data being deleted from my mac, blah blah blah, then re-signed in to icloud. Everything worked. I did have to set up my icloud account in Mail again, which now lists the account mailbox as "iCloud", and not "mac.com" as it did before. But so far, everything is working (fingers crossed.)

  • As soon as I open iTunes a  message pops up to say a problem has stopped it from working and I have to close it. Any solutions?

    As soon as I open iTunes a  message pops up to say a problem has stopped it from working and I have to close it. Any solutions?

    Start with the third box in  Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    If that doesn't work, use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
