What is the easiest way to access information on my iMac when on my Air? Is there a way to connect to the whole computer, and not just the public folder?

When I'm working on my laptop downstairs (or at a local coffeeshop, or when traveling), I'd love to be able to grab files that are on my iMac back home. (without relying on using Dropbox or similar...)
Thanks!

  • HT4623 How do I get the calendar to show the whole month and not just the day or week.

    How do I get the calendar on my updated i phone 7 to show the whole month and not just the week or the day?

    Touch the arrow (or word) at upper left (e.g. September).

  • Why does my back arrow close out the whole site and not just the one page?

    I just replaced my old MacbookPro with a new one.  The one difference that is driving me crazy is that the back arrow (button) closes the whole site, not just the page that I am on.  Is there a way to change this.  My old computer just sent me back to the previous page.  Thanks in advance!

    Red buttons, back buttons, I guess specifics matter.
    Glad you figured it out.

  • Sending Calendar Appointment from Macbook to my wife's PC with Outlook 2013 and it sends a whole calendar and not just the one appointment.

    I have a Macbook Pro Late 2013, running OS X 10 Yosemite 10.10.1 and my wife has a PC with Windows 7. I use calendar that comes with my Macbook and she uses Outlook 2013 calendar. When I email from Mail on my Macbook an appointment event and my wife opens the email with the appointment, it wants to add a whole new calendar for this one event, why is this? I just want to send her a single appointment not a whole calendar.
    I tried to see if Apple Calendar on my Macbook has any options to help with this issue and I can't see anything that will help.
    Should I check out the Outlook 2013 on my wife computer to see what options if any that I need to change to help with this problem?

    On which device do you normally check mail?
    I assume you must normally check on the phone and that is why you don't see it often.  If you checked a POP account on your phone and hten tried to check the POP email account on your computer you would find that amy POP emails you accessed on your phone would not appear on the computer and that is because you have already downloaded them on the phone and they are no longer on the server so when your computer checks for mail the server responds to the computer and says there are no recent messages.  The reverse of this would occur ifyou found new mail on your computer from the POP account.  That new mail would not be found on the phone mail app

  • CAN I ENLARGE THE SIZE OF ALL TRACKS AND NOT JUST THE ONE TRACK AT A TIME

    I would like to enlarge the tracks on the top half of the mix screen and not just the one track I'm working on. I find that most times I'm working in 2 or 3 tracks only and it would be great if I could enlarge the size of those to work with rather than the thin tracks they appear as. I realize if I click on one that it will appear larger below to edit but can I have all the tracks recorded appear larger?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    All iWork apps allow you to save your documents on your computer. You will be able to choose the destination when you want to save a document.
    You can also disable iCloud for some apps. To do that, go to System Preferences -> iCloud, press "Options" next to "iCloud Drive" and disable the apps you want to.
    If you have lost your old documents, you should have a backup that you made before upgrading to OS X Yosemite, so you only have to restore it.

  • Captivate 8 print widget does not print in landscape; prints full resolution of project and not just the certificate?

    I am new to Captivate and am tasked with learning how to use Captivate 8.  I need to add a certificate of completion to the end of my project and have many questions for which I cannot find any answers! Please, if anyone can answer these:
    1) I do not want the certificate to be printed until the score of the quiz reaches a specific minimum - for example, you need a score of 80% or better to print a certificate.  How do I do this with the print widget?
    2) I want the certificate to print out without the slide background and without the project's resolution - in other words, I only want the certificate image (with added text box for name) to print, IN LANDSCAPE, without the user having to make all the adjustments on their end (choosing landscape over portrait with their printer).  How is this accomplised?
    3) I want a date entered on the certificate - how do I add this specific element? 
    Without a certificate widget and the use of Flash with this version, I am confused as to how exactly Captivate provides the ability to print certificates?  I do not know HTML5, and am spotty with Javascript.  Why would a feature such as certificates and the ability to print them be such a clandestine thing?  No tutorials, no clear advice on how exactly to achieve this widely popular feature of training material development.  Seems to me that it should be MUCH easier to accomplish, but I'm stumped at this point.

    The solution I found is this: 
    Don't use the print widget in Captivate 8. It simply does not work the way it should be able to work.  Unless you are capable of scripting in Actionscript 2.0 and have access to an older version of Captivate, there is no way to get around this bug. 
    The problem I discovered is that Captivate 8 will only allow you to use Actionscript 3.0 in Flash; you can open the widget in Flash, but you MUST open it through Captivate first if you intend to use it in Captivate.  So, once you open the widget for adjustments through Captivate, it automatically chooses AS 3.0 as the scripting language to use, no other choice is available.  IF you have Captivate 7 or lower, however, it allows you to script in AS 2.0.  I do not, so I cannot assist you in scripting the widget.
    What I ended up doing was, I made my own certifcate in Photoshop, saved it as a .PNG, and added it to the last page. Using the internal coding of Captivate I told the program to only go to that slide upon success of the quiz. 
    To Print:  go to Window > Skin Editor.  On the left are check boxes for playbar choices - check off 'Show Playback Control,' and then choose your theme. From the dropdown, choose "print."  If you don't want anything else on the playbar, then check those items off; Choose where you want the playbar to show (I chose bottom and bottom center). See below:
    You can see the icons on the bottom, in the center.  The icon to the left is the Print button.  This works well, though you may have to make print choices from your local print dialog.  I have to tell it to print landscape, for instance, otherwise it prints portait and too small.  But this does work, and it solves the issue of non-working print widgets.

  • Can anyone help me, I work on my mac air most days and would like certain folders to automatically update onto my iMac when i return home, is there a way of doing this? Many thanks.

    Is there a simple way of linking the same excel folder on my imac and mac air, so as the one on my imac would automacily update when i return home, from the mac air? Fairly new to all this, so any help would be appreciated.

    Open a Finder window and you should have a folder called iClouDrive in your home folder. Drag your documents or folders you want to share into this folder and it will be available on your other computer (look in the same folder).
    As already mentioned Dropbox is a good solution; however, I like to use my free 5 GB from Apple's iCloud because I am not using very much space there. I reserve my Dropbox for other uses such as family photo and recipe sharing.
    Good luck!

  • Can I dump a .Mac account from Mail on  1 computer and not lose the data on

    I have 3 Macs: eMac, intel iMac, Macbook; all are using Mac Mail. 2 users look at our single .mac IMAP account daily; my son never uses it on his machine. Consequently he's accumulated thousands of messages, attachments, etc. on his machine that he'll never use. I want to dump the .mac account from his machine but I know If I delete messages on one machine it will dump them from the server. Can I first delete the account on the intel iMac, then go to the appropriate mail folder on his machine & empty it of files to reduce the clutter without affecting what's on the .Mac server and subsequently the messages on the other 2 machines?
    Thanks for your help

    If the messages are on the server then there are no messages on his machine. Thus, if you dump the account all the messages on the server will be permanently lost. An IMAP account leaves all messages on the server.

  • Links no longer work in Acrobat 9 Pro application, and not just the pdfs.

    In Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, clicking on any link including links in the Acrobat 9 application's menu bar (like when I click on Help/Online Support/Knowledge Base), I get the following error message: "The location of the web browser has not been specified" .  Please do this in Preferences." 
    Does anyone know how to correct this error?  I tried going to preferences, as the error message indicated, but don't see any reference there to browser locations. IE9 is the default in my Windows 7 internet settings.     I used to be able to click on links in the menu bar and in pdfs, and go to the internet without any difficulty.  I don't know when this problem started but I recently upgraded to IE 9.  Are there any known compatibility issues that could cause this?
    Here's my software:
    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 version 9.5.3
    Windows 7
    IE 9
    I'd appreciate any help.
