Want to operate my macbook Pro from home on my imac
Hi,
Want to connect to my macbook pro at the office from my imac at home. Both machines are running 10.5.8. I am confused about this as I thought there were ways to do this on leopard without additional software. Of course they are not on the same network. I know how to do this while on the same network.
Thanks!

Hi, I put apple configurator on my work machine which has all my itunes, my entire Apple Macintosh History on it and used apple configurator thinking it would be a great way to sync all my devices. I get it now, that it doesn't do that for the private person but is really for an institution or employer. Be that as it may I threw away the app from my main computer and thought I would be done with it.
I just reinstalled apple configurator and thought I took all devices off it. My ipad disappeared from the itunes menu. I plugged my ipad back into my machine and Paulz Config reappeared. I need to get this off my work PowerMac and have my ipad, ipod4 controlled by my macbook pro from home. And does it matter if I use the same email address that's listed with my power mac at work to easily switch the dominant mac over to my home from work. Things can get dicey at work and I don't want my life tied to the work power mac anymore. Thanks, Paul I realize there are a ton of questions in this. I am gratefull if I can just get the apple config off everything.To completely remove Apple Configurator from a Mac, you need to delete the application along with the following:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator.
You may also want to delete the contents of ~/Library/Keychains and /var/db/lockdown to remove the Supervision Certificate, public and private keys and device pairing information. NOTE: There are other things in Keychains that you may or may not want to delete. Google "keychains" to learn more about what's in that folder.
Good luck!

How do I update my contacts on my MacBook pro from my iPhone or iMac?
my contacts on my MacBook pro are out of date. How do I update them from my iPhone or Imac?
Hey there dgt11,
It seems like you may have missed that section of the article I provided, so I will go ahead and highlight it for you:
OS X Lion or later
You can use these steps with Contacts on OS X Mountain Lion or later or Address Book on OS X Lion. After each step, check to see if the issue still exists.
Make sure iCloud Contacts is on
Choose Apple () > System Preferences, click iCloud, and select Contacts.
See which version of OS X you're using
Make sure that you're using OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. Learn how to see which version of OS X you're using.
Check your Internet connection
Try to go to www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud contacts won't update in Contacts or Address Book. Get help with your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Safari requires access to port 443 to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers.
Check your account details
Choose Apple () > System Preferences, and click iCloud. Make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
Refresh Contacts or Address Book
If recent changes don't appear in Contacts or Address Book, try to refresh by quitting and reopening the app.
Check your settings
Make sure that the contacts are syncing through iCloud and not through a third-party, such as Google or Yahoo. iCloud won't sync contacts that are associated with a different service.
Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Click All [iCloud Account Name] in the left sidebar.
Search for the contact that wasn't syncing properly.
If the contact isn't visible, then the contact exists in a third-party account, not iCloud.
You can import the contact from a third-party account into iCloud.
If recent changes to contacts on OS X don't appear on your other devices and you're syncing contacts with multiple accounts on your device (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo), make sure that iCloud is your default account for Contacts:
Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Choose Contacts > Preferences (or Address Book > Preferences on OS X Lion).
On the General tab, make sure that your iCloud account is the default.
After setting up iCloud Contacts, you might need to quit and reopen Contacts or Address Book on your Mac. Then make sure that you set up your account correctly in Contacts or Address Book:
Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Choose Contacts > Preferences (or Address Book > Preferences on OS X Lion).
Click Accounts.
Make sure that your iCloud account has the correct name in the Apple ID field.
Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on
Quit Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Choose Apple () > System Preferences and click iCloud.
Deselect Contacts.
Click Keep Contacts.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
Select Contacts.
Open Contacts (or Address Book).
Restart your computer
Restart your computer and check the issue.

Want to buy macbook pro from outside egypt and send it as a gift to a U.S.A resident
i want to buy a macbook pro from outside america and sent it as a gift to an american resident in america
Because of credit card laws in both US and Canada (not sure about other countries) against online fraud for your protection;
It is sometimes impossible to purchase something online when your billing and shipping address does not match your Credit Card info.
One way to bypass this is to call the Apple Store in person and give tell them about your dilema. Also make sure that your Credit Card compay is aware of what you're about to do so they won't decline or redflag the transaction.
I have experienced the same issue but for a different purchase. My Credit Card info and shipping address is the same but I wanted it shipped elsewhere. I had to inform both Vendor and Credit Card company about what I was doing after my original transaction was declined. -
I want to buy a macbook pro from a retailer apple recommended but i am not sure if they sell apple care. I wanna know if i can buy apple care from the UK or the states if i buy the macbook in nigeria.
Hi adeyy,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The AppleCare FAQs has some information that you might find helpful:
http://www.apple.com/support/products/faqs.html
Where can I purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan?
Depending on the Apple product, the AppleCare Protection Plan is available at the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and many Apple Authorized Resellers including many wireless service providers. Apple recommends that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan in your country of residence, because each AppleCare Protection Plan has terms and conditions specific to consumers in the country or region in which the plan is offered. Please see the AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions for complete details.

I've recently been given a macbook pro from uni, with lots of adobe software on. I want to pair it with my iMac which has music etc and is it possible to get the software to the imac and the files to the macbook?Giving me the best of both :-)
You would need the original installation disks or files for the Adobe software to get it onto your iMac, and having it on two computers may not be allowed by your university's licensing. Talk to whoever issued the MacBook.
As to the music, just copy it over to the MacBook, either via Home Sharing, file sharing, or an external storage medium (hard drive, USB flash drive, etc.).
Regards. -
I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection
Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
For Home Sharing to work you need to
File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
Home sharing will then work -

Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store. So to find out whether you can buy something, you must contact stores or consult their websites directly yourself. If not available in the online store, try contacting a retail store and see if they can make a special order

thank you.A Mid 2010 MacBook Pro supports 16 GB of memory without any problem. Macs are "special" about memory because some brands work without any problem and others don't work. That's why I recommend you to buy the memory from OWC or Crucial in order to make sure that you get compatible memory > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3

Upgraded to macbook pro from time machine and want new apps
Hey Gang,
I updated my old Macbook to a new 2011 Macbook Pro from a time machine backup. I have the app disc that came along with the computer and i'm wondering what's the easiest way to update all of my applications? Do i have to go through and delete my old versions and then install the new ones from the disc one by one?
Thanks.Since I don't know what you did, I can only assume that you have migrated things from your old computer that replaced new applications or system files that came pre-installed on the new one. Result: you have lost any new functionality as a result.
So, my suggestion is one you probably won't like. Erase the hard drive on the new computer then reinstall OS X and bundled software using the restore discs that came with your new computer.
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation. When the installation is completed and you restart the computer you can check that everything is working properly. Then open the Optional Installs folder on the installation DVD and start the installer for installing pre-bundled software.
Once that has been completed you can then use Migration Assistant to tranfer your old Home folder and third-party applications. However, if you are not certain all your third-party applications are compatible, then I suggest you first update them on the old computer prior to migrating. -
I want to buy a Macbook pro - but need occasional system 10.6.8. Can the macbook from an external HD to start under 10.6.8?
No. Macs cannot run a system that is older than the hardware. You can however pick up a copy of Snow Leopard Server and run it in a virtual machine using Parallels.

I want to upgrade my mid 2010 17" i7 MacBook Pro from 4 to 8 meg. However, no memory is available. What should I do?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Mid 2010 MacBook Pro supports 8 GB of RAM. You can buy RAM at OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3
As your MacBook Pro has got two slots of memory, you will have to replace your actual memory and install two slots of 4 GB. Follow these steps > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link6 -

I want to talk to someone from a local Apple store to be able to buy an apple macbook pro from a store and want to know if in stock before I make a long journey in. How do I do that? It seems Apple is very unfriendly? please help
Just look up the store you want to go to and give them a call
http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/
Also, looking at the Dispatch & Deliver section - http://store.apple.com/uk/help/shipping_delivery
it looks like UK stores simply do not offer the option of ordering online and picking up at your local store.
Note that in the US web site, the equivalent page has a Personal Pickup section, which simply appears to not be an option in the UK?
