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 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 As she works on her laptop won't her documents on the Mini become outdated quickly?It seems like there should be an easy solution to this but I haven't found it; I'm new to Mac though so I may be missing something obvious.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 have an iCloud subscription. A couple of thousand on a macBook. And i have an iMac. I am running the latest OSX on both. I have set BOTH devices to sync photos to iCloud. But it just doesn't do it. It syncs other material [notes, calendar etc] perfectly happily.

Reminders is a useful app available for iPAD, is there a Reminders for use with Lion that can be synced?

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?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThere 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.
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.
So is Keychain2Go the only solution to sync Keychains now? I cannot find any other solution.

Mac OS X offers a method by which you can "join" an Active Directory server by going through System Preferences --> Users and Groups --> Login Options --> Network Account Server. Is this the same as making a windows pc join a microsoft domain?
If so, is this the preferred method of integrating Apple Macs in a pre-dominantly windows environment.

I try to synchronize my Mail signatures on an iMac, a MacBook Pro, both with MacOS X Lion 10.7.3 installed, and an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. I have iCloud configured with my Apple ID on the 3 devices. Is there a way to achieve this or must I do it manually?

I have been using Macs since 1992, upgrading to new operating systems as they came out. Now have Lion 10.7.3.I have recorded video/movie clips mostly from online sources. I have never had problems playing these back until now in all my previous Macs. Now some will play, others when I click the play button come up with the message "supported disc not available". Do I have to buy an old Mac computer with earlier OSX operating systems to play these again? How can I transfer the content to a form that Lion will recognize if they will not open.

I have an iMac with a directly attached USB drive and a Mac PowerBook attached via WIFI to the same network. I would like to have both devices back up to the shared drive via Time Machine. To date I have been able to get this to work, in a limited fashion. As soon as the iMac goes to sleep the PowerBook cannot see the drive and the backup fails. I would think that since I have selected the power option on the iMac to wake up for network access that this should work. This sounds like a simple requirement, I tryed to attach the USB drive to my Airport Extreme and we all know that that does not work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy brother and I share folders and various file types through ichat at the moment, but it's so slow, we are both on pretty fast networks (35/35MB and 50/8MB) I can mount a folder of his on my mac (we are in seperate towns) by putting our apple ID's into the apple extreme section (I think back to my mac) and we can share files that way, but I am confused as to why the transfer rates are so slow, we get at best 32KBs. Any recommendations for a faster file transfer method between remote macs.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI keep all my stuff on an external HD. I usually backup the external HD using time machine on my Mac_1 to my time capsule.
I recently bought another Mac_2. If I use time machine on Mac_2 to backup the external HD, will it create a separate backup on the time capsule. If so, is there a way I can use the same external HD backup on the time capsule and use either of the Macs to backup the HD.

We have two Macs. I use my Mac for work and Time Machine to keep a backup of my Mac every hour. Occasionally (every few months) I'll unplug the external hard-disk from my Mac and use Time Machine to backup my wife's Mac. Hence, two Macs, both using the same hard-drive to backup to. Recently there is only the space on the disk for Time Machine to keep backups of my Mac from the previous day.
Is there a way to delete backups of my wife's Mac to give my backups more space? Can I simply open the back up disk and delete a few of the backups of my wife's computer? or do I need to do something more complicated like partition the disk? or is there a way to tell Time Machine to keep more of my backups and less of my wife's?

If I try to sync my iPhone or IPad to our computer I get an error that reads "The IPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." The error comes at the start of syncing the photos. I have removed the photos from my iPhone it syncs fine, so the problem has to be with the photo library, RIGHT? The problem is iI have never had this issue before. I have my iTunes and iPhoto on a external hard drive and this has been fine in the past, but now i can not even view my photos on my iTV...

I seem to remember seeing an app a little while ago, that would keep a folder of your choice synced with a folder on an ftp-server of your choice, but I was stupid enough not to bookmark the page back then. And now I can't find it.

I recently decided to sync my Safari reading list between devices, using iCloud.
When I altered the iCloud settings on my Macbook so that Safari was synced, what happened was not synchronization.
What happened was, my up-to-date Macbook Safari reading list (Date X) was replaced with my dated iCloud Safari reading list (Date X minus say 100 days), and the intervening items apparently lost.
I need to retrieve the items lost in this synchronization failure.
