AirDrop only works one way between iMac and MacBook Air

Hello

Surely I can't be the only one with this problem. I searched online help and followed all of the suggestions, but nothing works. I can AirDrop OF my MacBook Air (OS X Yosemite, mi 2013 construction) to the iMac (OS X El Capitan, end 2013) almost 100% of the time, but NOT vice versa. The iMac won't discover the MB Air. I even tried "find an old MAc" - no go. Drop settings are as well 'discovered by everybody' and the privacy settings firewall does not block incoming signals.

Does anyone have a solution to short to go to the Genius bar?

Thanks for your help, Cinilla

You use a third-party software that modifies the behavior of the trackpad or Magic Mouse, such as "BetterTouchTool" or "MagicPrefs? If so, please, turn it off, then log off or restart the computer and test.

    There is no such thing as disabling Lightroom 5.7. Just uninstall the software.

    Looks like you have installed 6 Lightroom on two of your computers (including the MacBook Air). In this case, you must find and launch Lightroom 6 (not Lightroom 5.7 or any other version of Lightroom 5) on the MacBook Air and then in the menu help, select logout.

  • How to synchronize Adobe on my iMac and Macbook Air

    Hello

    I just ordered a Macbook Air. I'll get it next week. My main goal is to make a montage LR and PS in my spare time to work and when I travel. I would like to know how I should put up the files so I don't lose the changes I make in my Macbook when I reconnect to my iMac. Is there something special I need to do? Should I keep my catalogs on Dropbox or in iCloud, for example?

    Currently I have an iMac end 2013. I keep the files on a drive external HARD, catalogues on the iMac and return them both up to TM. When a picture is how I like it, I burn it to a disc. I don't know how I should adjust my workflow using two different computers.

    Save it to a common place, probably in the cloud, in the creative space cloud or in the drop-down list. Take care to keep files up-to-date on both computers.

  • For iMac and Macbook air wifi Extender

    I have a desktop computer of iMac 21.5 2010 that has a wifi router internal so that I can connect to my ISP of my 2011 Macbook Air 11 '' in the bathroom, just downstairs, and another room in almost 20 m further down. However, I fear that my connection on my Macbook Air speed decreases considerable distance increases my iMac. Actually in my studio which is attached to the back of my garage and about 30 m from the iMac I don't get any wifi signal at all. I wonder what the best solution is to increase the strength of the wifi in the House and outdoors workshop.

    My iMac is connected to an ipstar modem that receives my broadband connection to a satellite dish on my garage wall. Connection wireless or ADSL broadband is not available in our location away from the New Zealand.

    I'd appreciate any help that anyone can give me.

    See you soon

    The concern is with the latter: access to the iMac through the modem connection.

  • Can I use my creative cloud contract an iMac and MacBook as well?

    I'm going to have a creative cloud contract. Can I use it for my iMac AND MacBook? Or I need two contracts and pay twice?

    Thanks in advance!

    one single-user subscription allows you to install apps cc on an unlimited number of computers.

    the only restriction is that you can be logged in to, at most, two computers at a time.  because adobe has made it so easy to sign-in and out of any computer, even this is not really a restriction.

    I use cc apps on 4 computers and the inconvenience of signing outbound/inbound is minor.  using only 2 computers, you never have to sign out/in after your initial sign-in on each computer.

  • Can someone help me solve the problems Flash install on my iMac and Macbook please?

    OS 10.7.5

    Safari

    On both machines the installation program runs, starts to download the update, is from 7% for about 30 seconds then skip to 47% and abandons the download with the message 'download timeout '.

    It's exactly the same thing every time. I tried to uninstall the previous version of Flash, but it made no difference.

    The things that machines have in common are:

    -they are on the same network, sharing the same internet connection

    -they are running the same version of the OS and Safari (with the exception of the differences between the iMac and Macbook versions)

    I don't know what to try next. Any ideas?

  • iCloud keeps asking for password on iPad, iPhone, and Macbook Air

    I have a Mini iPad, iPhone 6 and Macbook Air, which is still invited to enter my password to iCloud.  All have BONES perfectly up-to-date.  On the iPad, I did a full erase and restore, nothing helps.  Since then, I also signed on iCloud and signed in on the iPad, I have not tried who still on other devices.  My iCloud username is an @me.com format, so I made sure that all newspapers in places (FaceTime, iTunes Store, messaging, etc., use this journal, even if I have a @icloud.com email too.)  I disabled 2 authentication and password specific to the Messages and FaceTime App.

    It seems to have something to do with email in particular.  On the Macbook Air from Apple email program, I get a message on the main window connection failed, and then the iCloud account is set offline.  I have to retype the iCloud password and/or exit and restart messaging to operate.

    Another thing pointing to the problem being with email that I have disabled all Push email for the iPad, and the password are stopped.  Then, when I try to retrieve messages manually, the prompt is displayed again.

    I'm out of ideas.  One thing I did not must give a new password, to disconnect all devices, then add them, one by one.

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    Thank you

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air does not print

    Products:

    • HP Officejet Pro 8600
    • MacBook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
    • MacBook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)

    Question:

    • Why my Mac initially print fine, but now will not print?

    Full article:

    I have a wireless network in my house that consisted of a 30 MB cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 laptops from Dell with Windows 7, a laptop Lenovo with Windows 7 and Dell with Windows 7 trick, all printed matter very well.

    The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.

    I added a Macbook Pro and Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago.  The two Macs printed fine for about a week.  Then suddenly they stop.  I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP's Service, and finally, they said to my router.  So I called Netgear.  NETGEAR was useless!  They wanted me to accept fees for services before they would even discuss the issue.

    As a result of information provided by the HP support service, and because Netgear will not support their product, I quickly bought a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.

    Macs will recognize the printer will print if connected via a USB cable, but do not print wirelessly on the Officejet Pro 8600.  The fine impression CPA.

    The frustration that is felt is made up by the fact that Macs printed very well with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks and now the printer shows just "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)

    Please help, thank you very much for all support.

    As a side note, the representative of the HP Service was very friendly and definitely tried to support the HP product, which is much more I can say about Netgear.

    Thank you

    Hello

    More likely a problem with Multicast, which Apple devices are relies on to communicate with the device through the network.

    First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.

    Connect to the power supply and wait 2-3 minutes.

    Turn off the HP printer and turn it back on, then check all difference.

    If it persists, try to change the configuration of your router as follows

    Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you with the steps as a best efforts and those based only on my own knowledge. You can try to change the settings of the router at your own risk:

    1. Open the router configuration page (you'll find listed as the default gateway by clicking the icon on the printer wireless, then print a network configuration report.
    2. Click the Advanced tab.
    3. Click the configuration option in the menu, and then click Setup WAN.
    4. Be sure to uncheck the box Disable IGMP proxy transmission and apply the changes.
    5. Click on the LAN configuration on the same Setup menu.
    6. Set the RIP RIP-2 Version and apply the changes.
    7. Restart your router and then check any change.
