OS X V10.7 Lion :: How To Use AirDrop (Two Macs On Same WiFi)
Apr 23, 2012
I have seen references to something called Air Drop to allow two Macs who are on the same Wi-Fi network to exchange files but cannot find any way to use it or instructions.
How do i check to see if i have unauthorised sharing of my network. i think i've activated my macbook pro to my new imac but there's a shared pc on my shared network with an id i don't recognise
Info:MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I was trying to share files between new imac and macbook pro and there is no airdrop on macbook pro. All the threads and info say that it should be there but it is not in the finder at all.
I don't see the Airdrop option on my iMac after upgrading to Lion. I assume my hardware doesn't support that feature. If so, can my computer be upgraded to allow this feature?Â
why I was able to see my father's iMac in the airdrop menu and he was able to see mine as well but after a short period of time both our computers disappear from each other's airdrop menu. The screen saver did not activate and neither of us switched to different screens. I have brought my Macbook Pro as close as 8 inches away from his. I have used airdrop before with my laptop and a friend's newer macbook pro and airdrop worked just fine. We both have the same antivirus, kapersky, and I have disabled and enabled it so I doubt that is the problem.
Info: Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), Macbook Pro and iMac
I'm on Yosemite; on both my iMac and MB Pro, I can't put the computers to sleep when it's connected to the wi-fi; I have to turn the wi-fi off, and then it'll go to sleep. I'd like to be able to keep the internet connected when want to do this.
I have the latest Macbook Pro, so it shouldn't be that.Basically I have what most people have. it keeps telling me "User declined request"when the other person did not even recieve anything, whatsoever. Even though I am right next to the person.People have said deleting/re-adding your apple ID solves this problem. for me, it only solves it one boot. So for every fail, I would have to boot twice.Can this not be patched?
I am using at home an iMac connected ( with cable ) to my Home WiFi Router. All other products are using the same WIfI home network ( Without a cable ).Can I define my iMac to use ONLY MY HOME WIFI instead of other unwanted wifi networks ?
I have a Macbook Pro that I use for my home & office computer. I am thinking about purchasing an iMac for my office so i do not have to lug the laptop back and forth. My questions is: is there a way to keep the two computers synced? Same apps, music etc...
I am trying to get airdrop to work on my mbp, I understand that the process networkbrowseragent should be running, however it isn't on my computer (even after I reboot). How do I get it to run?
Info: MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
I have a Macbook Pro running on OS X Yosemite. Yesterday I was at a meeting with other people using the same laptop and their AirDrop all works (when you click on the AirDrop icon it starts to scan like a radar. Mine however, doesn't do anything even though bluetooth is on and I have changed the settings to say "Allow me to be discovered by: everyone." I do notice also that my AirDrop icon is blue in the window instead of gray like everyone else's. This is what it looks like when I click on it. No scanning happens. I can't see other devices and they can't see me.
Info: MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
I have an iMac (2008) and a Mac Mini. I heard somewhere that you can connect two macs together and use the processing power of both to make a more powerful machine. Is this true? How do I do it?
Info: iMac (24-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.3), and a Mac Mini
I cannot get Airplay to work on an older MacBook, ca. 2007, even though I recently had Apple install a new hard drive, 4 Gigs of RAM, and Lion OS X 10.7.4.Â
I travel with a macbook air and usually take a copy of my entire "data" folder with me. When I get back to my imac I need to be able to ansfer any new or amended files from the macbook air to my imac.
I have a Mini with Lion Server. My wife has a MacBook Pro as her main computer. I imported her user from the MacBook to the Mini, but am wondering how to keep everything synced on her User between both machines. As she works on her laptop won't her documents on the Mini become outdated quickly?It seems like there should be an easy solution to this but I haven't found it; I'm new to Mac though so I may be missing something obvious.
I know Lion need only be purchased once and installed on multiple computers, but is there a limit on exactly how many? Plus, can Lion be installed on a Mac that isn't mine, like my mother's MacBook for example, or would the installion require me to have an account on the MacBook?Â
I have 2 macs - mac mini and a macbook pro Both audio outputs of the computers are teathered to my speakers with a Y cable. When computer one is playing music to the speakers, I'll be using computer two for work purposes. Should computer two experience an audible alert (instance message, new e-mail message, etc) the music will dim for about 30 seconds. How do I prevent the "dimming" of the music?
There are a lot of forums on this subject, but are specifically about Apple removing Keychain sync with iCloud. I cannot find any solution as to how to do it now they removed this option. Â
I have installed Keychain2Go but it just synced right away to "somewhere". I guess it's their servers. So I am concerned about that as I don't know this company. Â
So is Keychain2Go the only solution to sync Keychains now? I cannot find any other solution. Â
I have a mac book pro with mavericks and i have my ipad mini with all its updates and my air drop on my mac does not read my ipad! do i have to do something special to make it work?
