Help setting up iMessage

It seems that I can message from my iPhone 6 but not my iMac, so there is a different setting on both machines, but I don't know what it is? I think it's in the preferences under accounts, but I'm not sure what to change?

  • I have a new backup disk (a disk of 5 TB of Seagate) and need help setting up with CCC!

    Hello world

    I have a new backup disk (a disk of 5 TB of Seagate) and could use help setting up with CCC.

    I did in the past without problem, but I want to assure you of a few things:

      1. This particular drive has software available in a folder on the disk backup (w / the PC and Mac versions). But... I intend to use this disk as an exact copy of my iMac HD; It must also be bootable.
      2. Should I format the drive with disk utility? Or load the software to the CCC on the disk and just leave their only backup software?
      3. One last question: I also have a MacBook Air, an iPad and an iPhone. I want to save them as well. Should I put them on separate partitions, I created? Or can we just one big happy family? The last is best.

    One last piece of information: two computers, etc, were all backed up via Time Machine. My data the most important, photos, etc., are also saved on deposit box and/or iCloud on a regular basis.

    Thanks for any suggestions or comments!

    Sally D.

    Delete and partition the drive by making a separate partition for each computer. The iPad and the iPhone is useless their own partition because they back up using iTunes and would appear in the clone of the computer that you use for each save. Each partition must be the size of the current cloned drive that can leave you with additional partitions for other stuff. Then format the drive Mac OS Extended journaled. Do not install any software that came with the drive, none of this is necessary.

    I use a very similar setup with a 3 TB drive. I clone my boot SSD in a single partition, my drive internal 1 Tb in a second, my Macbook to a third party, and I have a fourth partition which is currently empty, because I haven't decided what to do with it yet. I also have a 3 to Apple Time Capsule.

    How communicate you with a real person who can help set up my Photoshop CS6 license from a computer Windows to a new Mac?

    Hello

    My son has Adobe Photoshop CS6 when he attended a school for dyslexia and disorders on the autism spectrum with software for students in the United Kingdom.

    He has used with success of this edition.

    I have the codes on the box but didn't post here not sure of what?

    He moved to one-sixth of the Collyers in Horsham college and had to buy a new laptop. The College being all Apple we brought a pro IMac.

    He studied art, graphics and media education.

    It is a challenge for a person with an age of 7 years in reading! Spell checking in the Photoshop really helped his presentation work. The IMac has the recognition voice very good text.

    It will be if everything's going to be all right on to art College to study graphics.

    The problem is that he must now get his Photoshop on his new laptop computer and the version that he only works on Windows.

    It is possible to send a new code for the CS6 works on his laptop?

    In the future it will need to Photoshop and Illustrator professionally, but at this level, we cannot justify paying a monthly fee for the latest version.

  • Need help setting up a configuration of VLAN special using WRVS4400N

    Hi guys,.

     

    I need your help on how to implement a configuration of VLAN somehow non-standard.

    The situation is the following:

    The customer wants a WLAN set up for the company and the other for guests. Now, wouldn't that be not so difficult if we'd be using the internal internet connection. But the WRVS4400N will be used to implement wireless LANs / VLAN only.

    The company uses the DHCP protocol on both of their subnets, provided by a Watchguard Firebox XTM510.

    Now, what we would do is set up the back door #1 for the connection to the subnet of the client and the #2 for the connection to the optional subnet for the guests. The first problem is that we were not able to configure DHCP forwards to the VLAN2. It works very well on the 1st but the 2nd doesn't allow that either ENabled or disabled, grayed out DHCP.

    To work around the problem that he would be allowed to set up DHCP WRVS4400N providing in itself for the subnet invited, but try that didn't work at all.

    Is it possible? Thanks in advance!

    Best,

    Ralph.

    If you think that anything on your machine has been compromised, you may change all your online user names and passwords (especially the financial/banking connections) and eventually reported it to your credit card company / bank requesting new account numbers, etc., depending on the amount of a threat of this situation is for you.

    How do you connect to the Internet? If through a router on a home network, the people who set up your machine provided the password/password of the router? If so, you can also change it.
