iMac or MacBook Air

Hello, currently I'm looking for my first Mac.  I was looking at the iMac 21.5 inches or 13-inch MacBook Air.  For the moment, I am owner of a laptop 15 hp, and I use it mostly to my office.  I recently started to get places and I don't know which Mac to buy.  I want the iMac, but I don't know if I would than portability.  Help, please!  Thank you very much.

    I have Lightroom on my iMac and MacBook Air, I just new MacBook Pro, all migrated to Pro air but will not work Lightroom until I have disable it on the Air.  HOW CAN I DO THIS?

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Roger

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

  • 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.

  • Migrate messages from the Macbook Air to new iMac 2012 2016

    How can I migrate all my messages (text, iMessage) of my Macbook Air to my new iMac 2012 2016? I have a lot of messages on my laptop and I want to migrate them to my iMac just to have them for reference/memory later. I do this because I would like to activate the monthly updating of message on my iPhone, so he won't have to queue all my messages it years ago and I am also reformat my old Macbook Air. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!

    Messages and e-mail accounts and data are found in/Home/Library/Messages/and/Home/Library/Mail/files. Just copy the content to the same folders on the new computer.

    Or you can migrate your complete folder from the old computer to the new home. This can be done using the love at first sight between the two cable and on the new computer using target disk Mode use the Migration Wizard to migrate your application. It could also be run from a time Machine or another external backup drive.

    Migration will not overwrite any user account that has already been created on the new computer. MY simply creates a new Admin user account name. You will then need to switch to the newly migrated account.

  • 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.

  • I cancelled iTunes on a Macbook Air, issued by the school.  All my music is stored/saved on my iMac at home.  If I delete the playlists and songs of the Macbook it will affect my master library?

    I cancelled iTunes on a Macbook Air, issued by the school.  All my music is stored/saved on my iMac at home.  If I delete the playlists and songs of the Macbook it will affect my master library?

    Unless you're 'home sharing', which he does not seem like you are, two libraries (macbook and iMac) are distinct, so a change does not affect the other.  Best way to test would be to remove a few songs you can download easily and see if it changes.  But I don't think it will be a problem.

    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.
