Using Timemachine between Macpro and Macbook Pro?

Can I use Timemachine to backup everything on my Macbook Pro and copy all the files, settings, and configurations to my
Macpro:
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Or the other way around?

i must be humorously challenged... LOL... I am using my Macs for processing audio via Protools and Logic. What I wanted to do was to offload some memory intensive programs to the laptop, stuff like Altiverb, Soundtoys and NI software instruments. I generally have no issues running the Logic plugs but add BFD, NI Absynth, Soundtoys Echoboy/Filter Freak and Altiverb, plus Sample Tank etc... and I can melt down the MacPro even with 4G Ram... not so much running Logic but for sure with ProToolsLE.

  • Sharing computing power between macpro and macbook pro

    Hey all... someone mentioned to me that I can connect my latptop and desktop together so that I can "combine" processsing power. I use various music creation software, logicpro and protools and would like to use the laptop to offload/run the plugins and the desktop to run the audio programs. Can this be done? If so, how? I will also post this to the Logic forum. Thanks.

  • Pages and Numbers not sync between ipad and macbook pro. icloud problem?

    My Pages and Numbers are stopped synchronizing via icloud between ipad and macbook pro. Everytime I edit something to Pages or Numbers on my ipad, my ipad failed to upload the edited version to icloud. what happened?

    I have a slightly different problem with Numbers and Pages failing to sync between a Macbook and iPad via iCloud. I have checked all the obvious settings. I think the problem may be that the Macbook username is my email address, whereas the iPad username is my wife's email address. However, both addresses are named alibis for exactly the same email address from our internet provider – eg we get the same emails, despite appearing to have different addresses. So I don't understand why the iPad cannot pick up Numbers or Pages files that have been opened and saved in iCloud on my Macbook. Other apps, such as iCal, sync perfectly, but i guess they don't use iCloud. Any help appreciated!
    (We have tried emailing Numbers files to the iPad, but that is very slow and innefective.) 

  • MacPro and MacBook Pro network setup

    I hope someone can help me. Basically, I am trying to build a setup connecting my MacPro and MacBook Pro over a network sharing my DSL internet connection and one printer.
    I currently have a Netgear DSL Router connected to my MacPro and need to add wireless connectivity for the MacBook Pro. I would like to leave the MacPro 'hardwired' to the router and share the printer over the Airport Express. Would this work or is another setup advisable?

    Would the printer, connected to the AirPort Express, still be talking to the Mac Pro, which isn't directly connected?
    Yes

  • How to synch calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro?

    How do I synch calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro?

    Thank you for your help. However, I still have no connection; could it be that the laptop is signed in through my account and the iPad through my wife's?
    If so, must I delete her iCloud account and reestablish it as mine?
    Thank you

  • Connection failures between iMac and Macbook Pro

    I'm experiencing frequent connection failures over my wi-fi network between my iMac and Macbook Pro on an otherwise strong, stable network. I can connect both of my computers to the Airport Time Capsule that I use as my wireless router without a problem, but for some reason I get connection failures between the computers say, 50% of the time. Sometimes it works fine, others it just hangs before giving me an error message. Any suggestions?
    OS 10.9.3 on both machines
    Apple Airport Extreme Time Capsule
    iMac, 3.06GHz i3 (2010)
    Macbook Pro Retina, 2.4 GHz i7 (1st Gen)

    Hi jt in nyc,
    Some checks:
    Use Airport Utility on one of the machines
    - Click on the Time Capsule ( enter password if prompted )
    - Click on the Edit button
    Under Airport Utility -> Wireless -> Wireless Options
    Are the Time Capsule Wireless options set correctly?
    - Country -> you know this, change if it is not
    - 2.4GHz and 5GHz Channel set to Automatic
    - Click on Cancel button to return to the Airport Utility graphic diagram.
    - Click on the Time Capsule
    - Click on your machines listed beside wireless clients
    Are the machines reporting an excellent quality at different distances from the Time Machine?

  • IPhoto not working after trying to share iPhoto between iMac and MacBook Pro

    I tried to share my photos on both my iMac and MacBook pro. It deleted all my photos in my MacBook and now it won't let me even open iPhoto in my iMac and gives me the following message "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
    How do I rectify this? Purchase iPhoto from the App store?

    What version of iPhoto do you have on each system?
    It sound like you propbably have a newer version of iPhoto on the MBP - and thay you opened the iMac iPhoto library using the newer iPhoto - if you did you were warned that doing this would convert the library and that the older version of iPhoto could no longer open the library - the error message you list says that this is what you did
    If you did the only options are to restore your iMac backup from before you converted the library, upgrade iPhoto on the iMac the same version you have on your MBP purchasing from the App store or use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to downgrade your library

  • Transferring captions between iPad and MacBook Pro using iPhoto

    I have a new iPad3 on which I loaded the iPhoto App. When travelling, I load my photos from my Nikon D90 to the iPad. I then go into edit and add a caption. Once home, I hook my iPad up to my MacBook Pro (2007)(running Lion)(iphoto '11 v9.2.3) and the photos transfer (using iPhoto) to my MacBook without the captions. Is there a way to transfer the captions from the iPad to the MacBook Pro and vice versa along with the photos?

    You cannot do it with AirDrop. Following quote is from iOS: Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content
    You can't use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X users, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.
    You can do it via Photo Stream iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    Or as I do, via USB cable: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    And there are 3rd party apps such as http://www.photosync-app.com

  • How do I set permissions between iMac and Macbook Pro using apple extreme base station hooked up to comcast modem

    I am trying to share files on my iMac with my wife's macbook Pro for which I am set up as a second user with administration privileges.  I think i have the computers finding each other (for example my iMac shows up on the shared list in my wifes's finder window), but when I try to open a file it says I do not have permission(s).  Is there a manual I can look at that walks me through this step by step.
    I know I have to mark files on my iMac to allow for sharing.  How do I designate a particular user as having permission to share.  I only want to be able to share my iMac when I am logged in on my user account on the Macbook Pro (and vise versa, I would like to be able to access the files on the Macbook Pro, when I am logged in as the user on my iMac.
    Thank you for your assistance and precious time.

    I am supposed to have it set so that it is placed at:

  • TS4185 Trouble using FaceTime between a new MacBook Pro 13" and iPad2.

    I recently upgaded my daughter's 2008 MacBook to a new 13" MacBook Pro.
    Since the upgrade we are unable to FaceTime from her new MacBook Pro to my iPad2. Calls start OK but then after a few seconds video freezes at the iPad end and then goes black. Audio continues in both directions and video from iPad2 to the MacBook Pro is OK.
    This didn't happen with the old MacBook and nothing else has changed. I can receive FaceTime calls from the MacBook Pro on my iPhone 4S in the same location where the iPad2 will not work.
    I think the problem is the higher video resolution from the MacBook Pro. I have 100Mbps broadband, iPad2 shows over 35Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload on Speedtest.net. I have tried resetting the iPad2 a number of times with no effect.
    - Is it possible to lower the resolution beng sent from the MacBook Pro ?
    - Any other ideas ?

    If your computer meets these requirements, you will be all set.

  • What external Hard drive can I get to use w/ my iMac and Macbook pro w/ Lion software? I have never used one. I need to back up my photos, iTunes, documenta, etc., Im a nursing student and very worried about losing my stuff. Any suggestions?

    I have had my macbook pro and desktop since 2008 now.  I have never had time to just sit down and learn about time machine and external hard drives.  I am in nursing school and barely have time to breathe, so when I try to read the threads, all the tech terms run together.  I have been referred to LaCIe, but I read some things saying problems with Lion (which I am highly disapointed in so far-but like I said, I have not had a lot of time to sit down and try to figure out out the kinks), Is there a good external harddrive anyone reccommends that will be easy/simple (not because I am lazy- I literally have no time w/ all my school work to figure out something complicated) , and go with my desk top and lap top?
    My laptop started messing up in class the other day, and it has a lot of memory left, so I don't understand.  It kept freezing up like a PC.  Ever since I downloaded Lion, it seems my computers have gotten slower. ;(    I have MacKeeper downloaded on both of them. I cleaned stuff off, it seems to be working better right now. But I am still soooo scared that something will happen and I will lose all of my info.
    I would be grateful of any advice/suggestions that anyone can give me. 
    Thanks

  • Sharing Photo Books between iMac and MacBook Pro

    Hello!
    We created a photo book on iLife 09 on the MacBook Pro and wanted now to use parts of that layout in a new photo book we are creating on the iMac. I opened sharing preferences and opted to share that book, but on the iMac, I only have the photos from the photo book, and not the layout.
    Is it possible to share the book including layout between the two computers using a network?
    Thanks for your help

    Is it possible to share the book including layout between the two computers using a network?
    No. The only way to get a book from one Mac to another is to copy the entire library and run that library on the other Mac. You can't move layouts between libraries, only photos as you've already discovered.

  • How keep / move libraries between MacPro an MacBook Pro ?

    I'm running instances of Aperture on both my Macbook Pro and my MacPro. I need to be able to "migrate" (or move) pictures between the machines, so that the desktop machine is the permenant home, and the Macbook keeps just recent stuff.
    Is there a good way to move the Aperture library, or specific projects / folders from one machine to another ? Or, do I have do an export > import ?
    Thanks.

    Since you can create libraries at will, you can just rename the library on the mbp, copy it to the macpro, and open it from there (you can put it where you want it, make sure aperture is not running, then double click it to automatically set Aperture's prefs to that library, or you can just go to aperture's prefs and choose that library file, quit, and relaunch aperture).
    Then for new stuff brought in on the mbp, you can export the project(s) and import it on your macpro as needed, deleting projects from the mbp as you wish (and deleting the stand-alone exported project on your macpro after it's imported so as not to waste space).
