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?

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 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.

I just got a new Mac, with Lion, but even though I keep reading about this awesome right click option for "slideshow" it does not appear on my right click context menu, I can do one via preview though. Any reason why its missing.
Also, when browsing folders with thousands of images (baby photo mania), what is
- the best program / app to quickly create slideshows, and contact sheets.
- the best program to be able to preview through them and have a single click option to move / copy / delete, I think an old PC app "ACDSee" used to have this, but I am new to the mac.

I just bought an IMac 21.5" - 'Mid 2011' - Lion. It's wireless. I'd like to start up the computer using an external HD. I know that I should hit the option key to present the choices. This does not work from rebooting, it only functions when I turn off the machine, wait 20 seconds & hit the 'turn on' button again. Also, I've noticed that if I go into the Apple Help menu & type 'Pram' nothing comes up. In an older MBP, also using Lion, I get a list of choices. I would also like to know if this normal behavior?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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 have several iMacs in my office with Lion and Mail 5.1. I have a user who wants to View attachments as Icons to ensure all are attached prior to sending. Unlike all the other iMacs, hers does not have the option "View in Place" and "View as Icon" when she right-clicks on the attachment.
I have found in other posts that you cannot set a defaul to ensure Icons or View in Place will always occur, and that the default depends on the type and size of attachment. I am not sure of that logic, but she can't even choose on an individual email basis. How can those options be enabled?

My mac is suddenly very slow . I have been just putting it to sleep. I decided to shut it down, but Safari won't quit. When I go to File, the "Quit Safari" is greyed out. I also tried "Command Z" but that doesn't work either.

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.

Why not offer a 21 quad? Heat? Or Apple just being Apple?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI know this has been discussed before, but I cannot stand that there is no option to shut off the screen. I know the Shift-ctrl-eject (not sure if I got this right, I'm at work now) works to turn off the screen, but I'm facing another issue.
At night, I frequently record shows on Eye-TV and export them to iPhone, so I can watch them during the morning commute. When the show begins, iMac's screen wakes up. When the export to iTunes begins, the screen wakes up. I tried few utilities where the brightness dims 100%, but it's not the same as turning it completely off.
Has anyone found a solution where you can turn off the display completely? Since my iMac is in my bedroom, this is a huge problem for me. I miss my Mac Mini....
I would know how can I put AirDrop in my favorites on the side of the Finder? (Of course AirDrop is compatible with my Macbook.)

We have a 13" regular aluminum macbook. We have 2 apple TVs, 24,000 songs, 10 gigs of pictures and a ton of video. We just bought a nice Cannon HD video camera and my wife snaps photographs with her Nikon SLR on every whim. We use an USB HDD to store all the songs and video, which must be plugged in all the time. This laptop is extremely taxed and it is time add another mac.
1. What would be the best option?
2. Can macs talk to each other, i.e. share files, picture, etc.? Can the macs look as exactly the same and being able to access the files in the same place? I don't want to move my wife's cheese.
3. Do mice work like the trackpad? We love the trackpad.
It would be nice to have a faster mac to edit photographs and video. We have yet to upload video from our new camera because via USB it take forever.
Is it correct that there isn't an "export mail" option in 10.6.8 ? Mail version 4.6
I have read various comments on forums about exporting mailboxes, sometimes there is mention of choose Export Mail but there has also been advice to copy the mailboxes to a usb then transfer to another computer.
I definitely don't have an Export Mail option available.. only Import and Copy. I would like Export tho .
After clicking System Preference how do I get SCAN option to appear so documents can be scanned? Currently only the Print option is visible and having no problems with printing. Printer is a HP Laser Jet 300.
