Mac

I can't work on how to add my phone number to mac to be used as a source of iMessage instead of sending my e-mail. I tried to go to messages > Preferences > accounts but it is not an option to add my phone number? "You can be reached for messages to:' just as my emails."

You cannot add a phone number. You will see your phone number if you have an iPhone, it lies with the same Apple ID you use on your Mac and iMessage is enabled on this subject. If you meet all these conditions, do not use your phone as a source for iMessage number. See-> Add or remove your phone number to iMessage or FaceTime on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Why my notes sync between my Mac and iPhone?

    I have my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks and my iPhone is running iOS 10.0.1 and used to synchronize my notes! Is it because of the huge gap in operating systems? I SHOULD update my Mac to Mac OS 10.10 + for this problem? Thank you!

    In order to synchronize Notes between your Mac and iPhone, you must configure iCloud > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

    But this requires macOS Sierra 10.12, the latest available version and the last iOS available for your iPhone.

  • About this Mac window

    A week ago I updated my Mac Mini end of 2014 to Sierra and, among other drawbacks, I found that the "to comments of this Mac window" doesn´t show when it is called. In addition, the button of the substitution of Apple ban on which they consider unreliable applications (i. e.  those not manufactured by Apple or not using the iTunes channel) is now gone and I won't unintentionally control I have in my computer. In this case, this means that I can't update latest version of Penny Fletcher of his useful Multimarkdown application.

  • I resized the Partition Mac to make more space for BootCamp and now Windows will not boot

    On a collague MacBook Air running 10.11.4, we used disk utility to reduce the Mac Partition so that we could then use a Windows tool to extend the BootCamp partition. However, upon restart, we got a BACK screen with the error that Windows cannot start because it cannot find the boot device.

    Help, please?

    This is not a mechanism supported by Apple to change the size of the Windows partition. Apple supports the remove/reinstall only.

    We try to remedy. Please after the release of the following OSX Terminal commands.

  • [Power Mac G5] Type of liquid cooling system?

    Y at - it anyway how to determine type of LCS just by looking at the case?

    We have old school Power Mac G5 DP 2, 7GHz (early 2005) we use for editing (well, for the last two years, he's right there and no one wants to touch this old piece of...). They will throw him in the year, and since I was take care of him for a while, I thought I'd take home when they do and use it as a backup machine for the data of my and my wife. I would like the max memory, put a few large hard drives (and small SSD, but there seems to be a lot of problems with this) and run the Linux command (more problems).

    But first, I have to clean the machine and look at the State of it. What particularly concerns me is the LCS (DP 2, 7GHz I) - these things have been prone to leaks and what I found there are at least three revisions of the LCS - second of them made by Panasonic seems to be the most reliable. I can't look inside, deeply, because it must be ready to use at least for another 3-4 months, I can do is to open the case and remove the front fan and look outside the heater.

    So this brings me to my question: Y at - it anyway to determine the type of LCS just by looking at the case?

    Thank you...

    Apparently, there were two models more prone to leaks than others, although still very rare. See this http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/faq/powermac-g5-liquid-cooling-infos-fuites-issues.html

    The damage inflicted by a system of flight are very serious, and it is almost impossible to hide or completely clean. As soon as you open the side panel on the Power Mac, you will easily be able to tell if this unit experianced a problem.

This seemed to work, took forever, but when he resumed at the end of this process the small white obtained progress bar all the way to the end while it froze. I just talked to apple and told to try again, which I am. It took about 3 hours this morning. I checked my HD there are 117 GB of space. Another person had the same problem and managed to fix it?
