mirror of two mac computers

Hello

During the day, I mainly use the MacBook that I travel between the sites, but in the evening, I prefer the larger screen of my iMac to complete my work. The cloud offers great things, but I don't want to put it all out there. I want to do is to have the two machine configured the same way and for the machines to synchronize themselves (for example, during the lunch hour), sort of continually replicated somehow. When I get to work on the iMac, there the last files that I need, and the family can use the laptop for homework or other things.

I have a MacBook and iMac. The family uses two machines. Both machines are the same size HD and connect to the same WiFi network. Both have the same accounts (me, the wife and children) and the same software. I have a copy of 'Sync Pro folder '.

Thank you

Marc

Putting the family on the iMac and you get a large LCD with connection and a keyboard for the MacBook.  A drive for Time Machine.   Perhaps through one of the USB 3.0 docks that are available for the MacBook.  No data migration and no chasing of synchronization seeds, no pretense of the computer, without remembering where the latest copy of a file is, no dependency on storage cloud and without children entangled with office files or damage to the computer or data.   Otherwise, you're shoveling files and directories autour - and troubleshooting when it does not right - and even Apple is apparently to do this mix with people running OS X Server.

  • What is the difference between the iCloud, which I used on my two mac computers and that I have now with the 6splus of the iPhone? Never had a problem with the storage until I bought the iPhone (former android user).

    I've been using a mac mini to work (my church) and recently I bought a macbook. The iCloud is my favorite piece of this puzzle so I thought I would be nice to add an iPhone - now I use constantly questions with storage on my iPhone. So why now I have an iPhone that is changing my storage capacity?

    It is not clear to me if you have a problem of storage on your iPhone or in iCloud. You can go to settings > general > storage & use of iCloud. Note that there are then 2 sections on this screen - storage (which is on your phone) and iCloud. Each section has a storage management where you can see more details.

    If the problem is the iCloud storage, the following may be useful: manage your iCloud - Apple Support storage space

    Hello

    You can install the software on two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or everyone.

    If you install on a third computer, you will be asked to turn off this feature on the other two computers. You can then re-enable one of the two previous computers and use Cloud Creative apps on it.

    Thank you best regards &,.

  • Office sync with two Macs leads to duplicate the files/folders

    Hi all

    I m using MacOS Sierra sync with desktop (and documents). Logged into my account, are two Macs (Air and a MB Pro). No I find in my iCloud drive a documents folder (it's good and the documents of the MB Air folder) and in this case a "Dokumente - MacBook Pro mg" folder which is the folder documents of my MB Pro (this is not so good). This isn't what I expected, I expected to have a documents folder which is identical on both machines. Does anyone know what I need to adjust to get things clear?

    Greetings from the Germany

    Mike

    I posted an article that explains all this to http://www.quecheesoftware.com/iCloud.html . This is a downloadable PDF file.

    Basically, you add to the folder Documents after activation of the synchronization of the files will be synchronized as you expect. But the files that were in your Documents on several Mac folders when you switch on for the first time on the synchronization will be placed in specific subfolders to your new folder of Documents iCloud Drive device. Apple apparently felt that he could not predict how each user would want their old files organized in the folder of Documents Drive iCloud, so Apple left to each user to reorganize the file later.

    I have now moved all my own files on the first level of my folder of Documents Drive iCloud and trashed the duplicate of the other device-specific folder. Now, everything syncs between computers, as expected. I left the two subfolders of specific to the device in place, either two empty for now, in case in the future that I might want to keep some files associated with one of the devices - for example, the alias files do not work on the other Mac. They will always sync in another subfolder, but at least I know to use it only on their own device.

    Apple certainly could have documented it better.

  • Can I connect a drive hard thunderbolt to two Macs?

    I have an iMac and my main storage device is a disk hard thunderbolt (double disk RAID).  I also have a mac mini as a server and I would like to set up the service of time machine, but only if it can store backups on the same drive external thunderbolt.  I know there are two ports thunderbolt on the disc, but I guess it can be used only with one computer at a time.  Is this true? Or is it possible to connect the disc both computers at the same time? (Even if it is only used for the service of time machine).

    That's right the led drive only be attached to a single Mac.

    You can have backups from two Mac on disc one hard, if you share the Mac disk drive that is connected. The second Mac then backup over the network to the first Mac who will write the data on the hard drive.

  • wrong message: identity adobe already used on two different computers

    Hello

    I have an adobe acteuell identity. He since 2005 are registered products, currently I use CC (annual duration) and Premiere Elements on Mac OS on an iMac.

    As I read, my license to use the software on two computers.

    Now, I configured a laptop computer with WIN10 and want to install Lightroom.

    Unfortunately, I get the message of this identity of adobe, already used to activate the software on two different computers. This message does not match the facts. Activated the single device namely seems only imacW.local. Although I installed on my ipad LR, I haven't needed, because it is not very easy to use, but I guess that this circumstance for my problem is meaningless, since this unit is also not displayed as enabled and so I could not turn off it.

    For completeness: I've always found an 'old' and unused adobe identity, I is not necessary and can be deleted. There's a free subscription to creative cloud (probably for a long time exceeded) - but no device! -registered. Maybe it's 'second computer?

    Wolfgang

    The message of the two active facilities apply only to one account.  Maybe did you sign twice without having signed the time?

  • All Mac computers in campus can not download updates of Adobe

    Recently, I received several complains of students said that they cannot download Adobe update on Mac computer working net campus, including the costume CC Adobe and Adobe Flash Player.

    Here is a point that I have tried:

    1. download and install Adobe Flash Player on Windows, success with downloading and installing computers.

    2. download and install Adobe Flash Player on the Mac computers, successful to download the package, but failed during installation. I tried on different Mac, but it shows the same error message. I have attached the screenshot below

    3. I've also attached a screenshot of Adobe CC update failure.

    This means that there are two different servers for Mac and Windows updates download? Why there is no problem under Windows but error on Mac?

    What is the address of the server to update Adobe and ports for Mac update? So that I can check again on the firewall rules, even I did several times.

  • Firefox problem on one of the two Macs running Mountain Lion

    I just upgraded to Cougar on my two Macs. On the MacBook Air using Firefox 14.0.1 some pages in 'my account' on Amazon site and the portal my.yahoo.com (when connected to the account) are flawed. Note: the portal of my.yahoo.com page seems perfect if you are not connected. It gets only scrambled if you try to display the personalized home page for your account. It is similarly of the Amazon. the general site seems perfect; It is only when you try to view deep pages, such as 'my account '. I've seen problems similar to some other sites, as well. All sites are fine in Safari. Text superimposed on the paragraphs, missing images, etc.
    No problem on the MacBook Pro, also run Firefox 14.0.1

    The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
    Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions, open Web sites and preferences.

    To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

    1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

    Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

  • Two Macs can connect to a URL, another on the same network may not

    So far, I can connect this behavior to a unique URL only - but of course, it's an I need to get in order to save some software on this particular machine.

    I emptied the cache, flushed the DNS cache and checked that I use valid DNS servers. It isn't Safari, chrome this brings. Two Macs reached the URL without any problem, but this new model Mac Pro simply will not reach it and traceroute expires after a few jumps. All three machines are on the same network, all three use the same DNS servers. I rebooted several times.

    All three Mac running the latest El Capitan. The two reach the URL are a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini Server.

    I'm puzzled.

    Please note that a traceroute on all three machines reveals the slowdown even at the same jump in the chain, but only the Mac Pro seems to have trouble with it.
