• How to sync contacts from iMac iPad and iPhone

  I did clean and fill my Contacts on iMac (version 10.11.6) and then I tried several times to synchronize these (81 cards) with Contacts on my iPad and iPhone (SE).
  Whenever I do it (via iTunes) I don't get all the 81 cards on other devices and becomes changed my correct Contacts on my iMac.

  I just installed iCloud, but the mess just gets bigger.

  If possible, I would prefer to use iTunes for this operation.

  I can't find 'step by step' clear guidance how to do this.

  Only a lot of conversation and advice that increase only my confusion.

  I wonder if it wouldn't be better to first delete all Contacts to iPad and iPhone and then 'move' (how?) my Contacts iMac iPad and iMac.

  But I can't even delete the Contacts of the iPad and the iPhone in 'single action' I prefer not to delete these addresses one by one.

  Please be so kind as to help and know that I am far from an expert in the software, so I prefer the simple tips "step by step".

  Thank you very much!

  Hi Muizen,

  The official way 'Apple' is now really use iCloud.

  I would export all your contacts to your iMac like this: http://osxdaily.com/2015/07/14/export-contacts-mac-os-x/

  Then delete all the contacts of all the devices you have

  Then turn on iCloud contacts on all of these devices

  Then reimport your contacts previously exported to your iMac and it must synchronize everywhere.

• Old iMac OS upgrade

  I have an OLD iMac (screen base, ball gum on a stem) 10.4 running. Extent to the top of the chain of the BONE can be improved?

  You can check here:

  http://support.Apple.com/kb/SP517

  If she can run Leopard OS 10.5. If you buy a Leopard retail on eBay or Amazon installation disc and then update OS 10.5.8

  Some general tips on the update of Leopard:

  It should be noted that it is an extreme rarity for the updates to cause upsets to your system, as they've all been beta-tested, but they can reveal pre existing, especially those that you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of all seeds, make sure they are fixed before continuing.

  So before do you anything else:

  If you can, perform a full backup first to a hard drive external. Ideally, you should always have a clone bootable from your system that allows you to return to the State of the previous update.

  Disable mode "Eve" of the display and the hard drive.

  Disconnect all devices except the keyboard and mouse.

  1 repair permissions (in disk utility)

  2. check the State of your hard drive using disk utility. If defects are reported, again from your installation disc (by holding down the C key), go to disk utility and repair your startup disk. Restart again to return to your boot disk.

  At least now you can be reasonably certain that your system does not contain obvious defects that could lead to an update/upgrade fails.

  3. download the correct version of the COMBO update from Apple download site.

  The Combo in Leopard 10.5.8 update can be found here:

  http://support.Apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update

  If you prefer to download updates via software update from the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac is being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU automatically installs updates major (and even minor). The value software update to download the update without installing it immediately. There is always the possibility that the handset download and install (which can be a long process) may be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking on the keyboard, and a missed installation will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can sit at a time that suits you. In case you need a reinstall, you make a backup copy of the update on a CD.

  Details of the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606

  More information on the use of Software Updater here:

  http://support.Apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US

  The Combo update ensures that all system files that have been changed since originally 10.5.0 are included, and those who could rate or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The updated Delta, although a city more small download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, that is for example, 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software update will usually download the Delta update only. The best Combo update must be downloaded from the Apple download site.

  Now, follow these steps:

  4. close all the applications and turn off the power the screen saver and energy-saving.

  5. unplug all devices except the keyboard and mouse.

  6. install the update/upgrade. Under no circumstances interrupt this procedure. Don't do anything else on your computer while it is installed. Be patient.

  7. when it asks to restart the computer to complete the installation, click on restart. This can take longer that usual, there are probably thousands of files to be crushed and placed in the correct location. Doing nothing while this happens.

  8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again and you should be good to go!

  If your Mac seems a bit 'different' or slow, do a second reboot. It can't hurt and is sometimes effective. In fact, a second restart may be recommended.

  9. open some of your most used applications and verify that everything is OK. In this regard please remember that not all manufacturers of third-party applications and plugins, modules, etc., haxies will have had time to do rewrites for their software to be compatible with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their Web sites for updates.

  NB. do not try to install two different updates at the same time that everyone can have requirements and different exercises. Follow the recommendations above for each update in turn.

  Finally, from Apple's own article on the subject of the software update can also serve as reading:

  http://docs.info.Apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695

  If you update Safari (or simply):

  Input from third-party handlers can do as much harm as well. They use a vulnerability for the right hand in your application code and modify the code that the application starts.  If you have installed an update of the OS and Safari crashes, the very [i] first [/ i] thing to do is clear on your InputManagers folders (both in your own library and in the top-level / library), disconnect and reconnect, and try again.

  So, disable all third-party modules before the update of Safari, because they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add a return to one. If something goes wrong, remove again and check on the Web site of the manufacturer of the software for the new of an update to match your version of Safari.

  Most of the errors reported here after an update is due to an inherent flaw repaired or not detected in the system, or a third-party add-on.

  Additional advice on the installation of the software here:

  http://docs.info.Apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692

  Again, input Manager reach directly in an application and modify its code. This puts the behavior of the application concerned outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. Who doesn't want to not not saying that questions absolutely ensue as a result of the entry Manager, but, as a user, you decide. If a manager of specific entry or a set of it functionality is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.

  Once again, the Council is to remove all the input managers the following directories:

  • / Library/InputManagers
  • ~/Library/InputManagers

  especially before the system updates (they can always be added one by one back later).

• Need VGA adapter for my old iMac G4/1.0 17 inches in 2003?

  Hello

  Today my old iMac monitor stops working. I was in several stores to try to get a VDG adapter to connect a monitor separated instead. But it is impossible to find one for this older model. Any ideas anyone?

  The specifications are:

  Apple iMac G4/1.0 specifications of 17 inches (flat screen)

  Identifiers: iMac 17 "1 GHz - M8935LL/A - PowerMac6, 1 - M6498 - 1956

  requires Apple VGA Display Adapter

  Thank you very much!

  Johan Vikingo

  The "Mini VGA / VGA adapter" takes many forms. Do not forget

  If you get through one in a page of online sales, the seller knows

  the differences between the "MiniDisplayPort to VGA' and others.

  The part you are looking for would probably be described as: Mini VGA / VGA.

  While I have a stock of old like new, bought since a few years there

  thrift store for $2. It works with my iBook 1.33GHz G4 12-inch

  There is no part number visible on what I say. At the time, I have

  also bought three others, same price, which were sealed in bags.

  (These fellows had reference numbers;) I gave them, at the time.)

  Beware also of MiniDVI-VGA adapters, because these can also or

  is not appropriate in the similar-shaped video out port; DVI was not a

  standard in the old PPC Macs, some PowerBook later + iMac G5

  a establish better conditions later than the old PPC G4 iMac or iBook G3.

  The same element that adapts iBook G4 mid-2005 or before should also

  mount the USB2.0 iMac G4 15/17/20 inches. The adapter I have my

  iMac G4 1.25 GHz 17-inch (USB2.0) port VGA Mini computer.

  A glance through eBay shows a mixture of different parts and customers

  show them that some sellers have sold more than one type via their

  site; Some users could not use the one they bought, others might.

  The Apple site does not seem to show any valid age

  more information regarding these vintage/obsolete adapters.

  In order to avoid some versions of Mini VGA MiniDisplayPort and MiniDVI

  adapters; Some versions are at the correct time, but for PowerBook

  G4 models and a few figures are different part numbers. The plug

  may be formed to fit the plug, but it lacks the appropriate connectors.

  Sorry to not be of a great help; I look to see if I could find an of the

  old Mini VGA / VGA adapters, here; & only found a w/o part number.

  A search shows almost everything except good vintage pieces.

  The site welovemacs.com had a few elements but was not unclear on what made

  specific models exactly; and their price seemed a bit steep. Another Mac

  centered on the sites may be able to locate the vintage adapters. Can be used

  available, then that can also be worn or unreliable.

  This page may have some info on various 'news, in the old, obsolete: adapters

  On Apple and cables - video cards Support Apple

  {None of these are good; so you can use this as an anti reference}

  The person here specifies no iMac G4:

  Maybe if the time was nowhere near 02:00 here, I have more chance to research...

• Can I connect my old iMac (with no wifi capabilities) to the internet using the cable to my MacBook?

  I have an older iMac (PowerMac 6 bought in 2003) that only connects to the internet via a cable directly to the router. I moved this computer out of the range of the router and you want to connect to the internet again. I also have a MacBook (late 2009), which has Wifi capabilities. Is it possible to connect the old iMac to the internet via the MacBook?

  Yes, this should be doable. On the MacBook, go to the system Pref > sharing > turn on internet sharing via the Ethernet port.

• Passwords Firefox inside old iMac to MacBook Pro new

  Hello:

  I tried to use the add-on, exporting password. He works for export from my old iMac but when I tried to install exporter of password on my new MacBook Pro running Firefox v37.0.2, I get the message "password exporter could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 37.0.2.".

  So . . . .

  Is there another way to export and then import Firefox passwords?

  Thank you

  Thank you!

  I've used both and they both work.

  First of all, I transferred the files logins.json and key3db of my old Firefox my Firfox again on the new MacBook Pro. Alto! It worked!

  Then I registered Firefox Sync. It will be the end of my problems to keep up-to-date on both computers.

  BTW. I discovered that both computers running Firefox v37.0.2. Apparently the problem is with the password exporter. It cannot be installed on Firefox v37.0.2, but if it is installed before you upgrade to Firefox v37.0.2 that he continues to work.

  Thanks again!

• What version of Mac OS x that I can for my old iMac

  I have an old iMac with OSX 10.5.8 on it (iMac, 5, 1).  I bought Toast 11 Titanium because I thought that I could use it to burn blu ray my home video HD discs, but on opening, I found I need to buy a HD/BD extra plug for it.  However, he told me the plug needs OSX 10.7, 10.9 and 10.10, 10.11. When I look at the software updates, it shows that El Capitan (which I believe is 10.11.5). I do not think that my old iMac will allow me to update this.  Is this the case? Can I get older versions of Mac OS x that would work? It is very annoying because my camcorder has a firewire cable that only fits into my old iMac.

  10.7.5 lion is the version of katest that can operate your iMac. Until last week, Apple has always sold Lion for $20, but they have completely abandoned now. If you want you'll need to find it elsewhere. Honestly, it's probably put time upgraded to a newer iMac. The new iMacs have the crush that turns easily into Firewire adapter.

• Upgrade of the old IMac

• Old iMac is unusably slow

  OK, I know that my old iMac is done towards the end of his life and I use my 2nd Mac now, but this iMac (version 7.1, dating back to mid-2007) is now almost unusably slow, in the respect that it takes a few minutes running until I can move the cursor. The browser takes about 20 minutes to start up and just try to click on the buttons in dialogue to confirm actions causes the beachball to appear. He runs the last Mac OSX (El Capitan), all this so far. The memory is maxed out at 4 GB and it is around 80 GB of available disk space. He was one good horse to battle, using Photoshop and other. Now, he struggles to open TextEdit.

  I ran utility disk to check problems (there is not) as well as caches, etc, to try to optimize the performance of compensation. I think the best solution now is to do a clean install. What would be the best way to do this? I have 10.6 disk (my mac still has an optical drive), I could do a clean install on, and then update again to 10.11, backup of data and my Time Machnine backup applications. Or I'd be best to just do a restore from Time Machine and does not return to 10.6?

  What is the best procedure?

• Moving old iMac to newer model

  I have a 2007 24 "iMac running 10.5.8 at home and just bought an iMac 27" 5K new. I used Time Machine to back up my old Mac via a USB 2.0 drive, but I'm not sure about migration anything over the old to the new. I would like to have all my files available if possible. I realize that most, if not all of my software will be upgraded to the new computer. I use Adobe CS and QuarkXPress software. And a few other things. What recommendations do you get me upward and run as seamlessly as possible from my old system to this new, with maximum use of document files, previous image and video.

  I want to retire from my old iMac, but understand that I may be to have as a companion computer until I get smooth running with the new system. All advice is appreciated. Thank you.

  Apple is explains the data migration in move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support. Everything you need is there.
