Using WiFi can I contact my iMac and download photos?

I sit in the next room to my iMac where it is cold (!). I wish to attach a photo to an email I am writing. Is it possible to use WiFi to open up my iMac, find the photo via the desktop and move it into my iPad? I have iCloud available on both machines.

That should work. A box like icon will appear on the desktop. Double click on icon.
If for some reason a message asks you to format, do not format. Pull out the cable on the external hardrive. Ask for more advice here.

Sorry, there is nothing you can do until the device is removed from the sellers Apple ID.
Without that, your device can't be used, check these articles:

I have all of my photos on a seagate external hard drive from a windows based computer. Can I plug external hd into my iMac and download photos with no issues?

Can I just plug in my external harddrive to download the saved pictures from my windows computer to my Imac?

I used an ethernet cable between my iMac and Time Capsule for the initial backup. Now that initial backup is concluded, can I simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer?

I used an ethernet cable between my iMac and Time Capsule for the initial backup. Now that initial backup is concluded, can I assume I can simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer without any glitches and Time Capsule will then run wirelessly. Is this assumption correct?

can I assume I can simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer without any glitches and Time Capsule will then run wirelessly. Is this assumption correct?
Yes, if the computer will be able to receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
I did not disable wireless. So I assume the backups are occurring both with the ethernet and wirelessly.
It is inot possible to have both an "active" Ethernet and "active" wireless signal simultaneously. If an Ethernet connection is established, your computer will default to the Ethernet connection. If the Ethernet cable is unplugged, the computer will revert to the wireless connection.
I also show 2 wireless networks available through Airport. Shouldn't there only be one now?
You have a simultaneous dual band Time Capsule. That means that it will always be providing both a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz network.
I named my new network the same name as the old network. This enabled all of our devices to continue with their connection without entering the new network and/or passwords; however, I am afraid this may pose problems in the future somehow. Any input on this issue as well?
Things should be fine. Devices will connect to the best signal.....either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz....based on their capabilties and location in relation to the Time Capsule.

Hi. I'm new to this and thought I already posted this question, but don't see it anywhere. My question: If I get a new iPhone, can I still use the old one like an iPod and download music and apps?

If I buy a new iphone, can I still use the old one like an ipod with my iMac and download music, videos and apps?

Absolutely, Yes. I'm sure that many iPhones are "recycled" that way within a family.
The worst that will happen is that once in a while it will remind you to activate it as a phone. Just ignore the notifications.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
you need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

Syncing & importing pics/videos in the camera roll are two entirely different things & have nothing to do with each other.
You can import iPhone camera roll photos/videos using any computer you want...this has nothing to do with iTunes or syncing.

Why can't i use wifi on my iphone 4s after i downloaded IOS7

why can't i use wifi on my iphone 4s after i downloaded IOS7?
thankful for answer!

Well, there are probably dozens of possible answers based on the nature of the problem, so a little more information would be useful.
Is the WiFi switch greyed out? If so, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Is the problem with only one network? If so, reboot the router by removing all power from it for about 30 seconds. Even if other devices still work on that router (the router and iPhone may have gotten out of sync on the time remaining on the iPhone's IP address lease).
If the WiFi switch is not greyed out, but the phone doesn't find any networks, go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset network settings.
If that fails, go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset All settings.
And if the problem is not described in this message please provide more information.

Barters,
Please start a new topic thread here. You have one of several dozen possible issues, as are outlined here*. Please make sure your new thread is very specific as to what router you are using in the topic, and what you've tried from the possible issues. Do not assume that 10.8.5 is the issue. It is some combination of factors. Each person's set of issues need to be isolated individually. If you let others join your thread saying "me too", you'll likely get lost in the shuffle. Generic subject lines frequently attract more "me toos". The more specific you can get, the better.

HT2688 My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now.

My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.

In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

HT201365 My wife can't remember her passcode and now it says it is disabled! What to do?

My wife can't remember her passcode and it says her phone is disabled! How do I bypass the passcode

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Sure, it will work just fine that way. Leave the deactivated sim in the phone, as you'll need it should you ever have to restore or upgrade the software on the phone. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim in the phone.

You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

No, you can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy form another store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that the content that you want be added to the US store, but ultimately it's the content providers (record companies, film studios etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
