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?
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.
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.

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 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?

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.

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.
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?
I cannot select mail, messages, or airdrop as an extension to use to share content (i.e.: to share a website), they are greyed out in my share menu, in the Extensions folder of system preferences
I had purchased the new retina MBP and i used to have a macbook air. I moved all of my files over to my new computer (NOT using migration assistant, wanted a new setup) and i got everything but my keychains.How can i move my internet keychains over? BTW, the computer wont let me export internet keychains...
I have an Intel MacPro dual core with 8gb of ram and over 300mb available in disk, I just finished installing Lion and suddenly the computer started running very slow. When I finished the installation the computer was running pretty well and I really don't know why is running slow like this. I checked the system and everything looks fine, I mean, plenty of ram memory, over 4gb available, plenty of space in my hd and resources seams like quite a bit of usage. Is this due to spotlight doing indexing?mI was wondering if this is the probable cause of this drop of speed.
So I have my own Apple ID but without a credit card(will be getting one this summer). So my dad said that if I wan't to download music or paid items,I should log in to his account(with credit card). Is that possible? So basicly I can install free stuff with my ID,and paid stuff with his?
how to install the Lion OS on more than one computer? I downloaded and installed Lion on my iMac today, but want to do the same for my other two computers as well. Is there a way to find the DMG file and save it onto a flash drive instead of downloading it all over again? I searched using Spotlight and could not find the downloaded file anywhere.
Some months ago I upgraded my MBP to Lion. In theory I should now be able to upgrade my iMac desktop to Lion too, without re-purchasing, is that right? If so, I'd be grateful for any advice on how to do that.

if I go to apps store to buy, will I be charged again, or will the store recognize I already bought the product and download it at no charge to my second computer?
