Connect to your local network. Enable both file sharing in sharing preferences. You can transfer data between the two using Drag and Drop or file third-party synchronization utility such as SyncTwoFolders. Or you can configure a DropBox account. Keep all common files stored in your DropBox account. Both computers then running DropBox and can transfer to and from the current folder. DropBox offers an initial free 2 GB of storage. If you need more, then you must pay for it up to 1 TB.

  • I have phone sync with macbook air

    I want to remove photos from my i-phone, without deleting my MacBook air.   Is this possible?     At the present time, when I delete a photo from my phone, it deletes my macbook air.   Anyway around this?

    Thank you

    You synchronize using iCloud? iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

    If you don't use icloud, how you sync the computer and the phone?

  • Can I use your Apple TV with MacBook Air

    I use a MacBook Air, 13-inch, mid 2013, OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. I am interested in Apple TV. With this product I was able to connect my Epson EB - S18 projector to my Mac in order to project movies that I bought on iTunes on my wall of the apartment? Would be there is always a problem to play these movies 'protected' outside the computer itself? Must they be downloaded in SD and not HD? Can I use a patch to connect my Mac to the Thunderbolt port to the projector via the HDMI port? Can I use a patch to connect the VGA cable to the port on the computer to the projector? Please notify.

    Thank you very much.

    Can I use your Apple TV with MacBook Air

    Yes! AirPlay with an AppleTV is the easiest to use and less complicated solution.

    SD / HD makes no difference.

    You will only be able to enjoy the full quality of an HD movie with a better projector however. This model projector is not really intended for presentation of home theater. It will work well. As you can imagine that there is no upper limit on the amount, you can overlook these things, but $2000 is going to buy a nice home theater projector these days. A few years ago, you would need to spend $ 50,000 or more.

    Would be there is always a problem to play these movies 'protected' outside the computer itself?

    No, not if you bought (or leased) from iTunes. They have to play on any device compatible iTunes. You can even use AirPlay to distribute it to your AppleTV from an iPhone.

    Can I use a patch to connect my Mac to the Thunderbolt port to the projector via the HDMI port?

    Yes.

    Can I use a patch to connect the VGA cable to the port on the computer to the projector?

    Not without a converter. Avoid using the VGA if possible. It's a terribly outdated and generally horrible alternative to any digital standard. Since your MBA has a port Thunderbolt, and if your projector has a HDMI input, buy a cheap (± $10) Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter cable. But AirPlay is preferable to a wired connection.

  • Is it possible to sync with Macbook Pro with the iMac at home? If so, how?

    Most of the time, I need to exchange the data in my folder of documents between the iMac and Macbook Pro. I use a pen drive to do. I need to know if this Exchange is possible without the need of USB? both iMac and Macbook pro are on the same network.

    Verdier - saab

    Yes - you can use a cloud like iCloud service or OneDrive who will be the reflection of your files - in other words - iCloud exists as folder on your devices as well as on the Apple servers. For files that work you on the MBP are synced with the Apple servers and also update on your iMac, when both machines are on and connected to the network - oh-you don't have to be connected to the same network - as long as the two devices are connected to the internet - the update will happen

  • MacBook Air, iMac 24 inch connection

    Hi guys,.

    I have a MacBook Air c.2011 and my partner just to buy a version of 2016 - both running OS X Yosemite. I also have a 24 inch iMac c.2009 sitting on office desk at home (also in the Yosemite running). We want to be able to to connect/cradle our laptops on the iMac so we can use the larger screen as the computer of the reception, access to data and files on laptop computers.

    After extensive online research, the only way I can see it working is - port thunderbolt out of Macbook to the Firewire 800 port on the iMac.

    Problem is that I had trouble finding (a) a firewire cable in all good electronics stores because they are obsolete or (b) a port adapter male firewire/woman lighting.

    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

    Please read carefully use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode. You will see that the iMac is too old to use TDM. Sorry for the bad news. You can search for software solutions however performance is very poor.

  • iCloud not synchronized completely with MacBook Air

    I'm running OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan on my MacBook Air (end 2013) and the iOS9.3.5 on my iPhone 5. Have also, incidentally, Apple Watch. Use iCloud for Notes, but could not get the Notes appear on my Mac. Signed Notes and back with Apple ID on the Mac, but the cursor just whirs around. Have the same Apple ID on all devices. All the other things iCloud on sync phone perfectly with Mac, calendar, e-mail etc. Have 200 notes or that I used to use it all the time on the Mac and the phone, so its really frustrating that I can't access it from the Mac.

    Research in the system for software services log I see that sort of thing:
