New to iMacs Mac HD help

[watsonjm]

OK i just got my new iMac having been using a macbook for a number of years.

However when i started up the iMac the Mac HD that is on the desktop on my macbook isn't on the iMac. I thought it would be simple enough to add but if it is i cant figure it out?

Im sure i'm missing something very simple but there we go!


Thanks

Also having trouble getting my NTFS externals working on Write. i cant get NTFS3G and Macfuse to work. Is there another way short of reformatting to NFS

Under Finder Preferences, General, make sure, under "Show these items on the desktop" Hard Disks is checkmarked.

Edit: Being a bit more specific about what OS and what computer you're using (as found under "about this Mac...") will help isolate your issue(s).

lol i new it would be simple. Thank you.

Another problem i have had: i have just synced my iphone but it hasnt updated ical on the iMac is there a setting i need to change?

If it's your first sync, then sync again.

Check iTunes with your phone connected, make sure it's set up to sync calenders with your computer.

Finally - check out Apple support forms on this topic. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2288012?start=0&tstart=0

Sorted, thanks again.

Any suggestions RE writing to NTFS?

MacFUSE and Parallels. At least, that's what I use.

 

[watsonjm]

I thought Parallels was for booting Windows? or is that what you mean?

Plus for your Windows partition use MacDrive.
