To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

How do you access files on iPad

The hp print control app saved a scan on my iPad. It didn't show up in photos. Wondering how to access this and place it in my photos. Is there an app to access your files on iPad?

If it's not in Photos app, have you looked in the hp print control app? If not, google the hp app for a user manual or help on how it works.
Apps generally cannot access "files" on an iPad - unlike a computer, each data file is associated with an app and only that app can access it (and then "send" it to another app, if that capability is part of the original app). There isn't a "file manager" than can look around an iPad to view all files. iOS is a closed system that takes security more seriously than computer operating systems.

How do you export aperture library to external harddrive?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Im trying to save my entire Aperture library to an external harddrive. What are my options other than using Time Machine? Thanks

Managed or Referenced Library?
Assuming it's a Managed library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit Aperture
2. Copy the Aperture Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're using a Referenced Library then you'll need to relocate the Masters first.

?: How do you move files to an external hard drive

Hello everyone,
I have a 2009 MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.5
I am starting to run out of internal HD space as my images in Photoshop are very large (over 1 GB ea.)
I currently use an external hard drive for Time Machine but would like to use a different external hard drive just to have my photo images on it.
Im assuming that i would purchase another external hard drive formatted for mac, plug it into my MBP and simply drag my image files from my MBP onto the external hard drive icon. After that just delete the images from my MBP HD. Is that all there is to it?
I wasnt sure if there was a step in there where you have to tell your MBP that the new external hard drive is NOT for Time Machine, but is simply to transfer image files onto (?)
Please let me know if this is how it works and how to do this.
best to you all and thanks so much for your help
take care,
rick

Rick,
the “EDIT” note in my last response was an “oh yeah, I should mention this” moment that I’d had after initially responding with my single “yup” sentence. You had mentioned that you were already using Time Machine to back up your internal hard drive to an external hard drive. I’d wanted to clarify that your new external hard disk should not be simultaneously used as a Time Machine backup drive; it should be treated just like your internal hard disk, in that it gets backed up by Time Machine (a “source” drive) rather than receives Time Machine backups (a “destination” drive), which your current external hard drive already does.
As far as my recommendations, I’ve had good results with the Hitachi hard drive series with five-year warranties. I’m currently using a Samsung 840 PRO SSD as my internal disk; so far, so good, but I don’t have long-term experience with it yet. (The 840 PRO has a five-year warranty also. As you can tell, I prefer drives with long warranties.) Since you have a 2009 MacBook Pro, getting your new drive in an external enclosure with a FireWire 800 port (and getting a FireWire 800 cable for it, of course) will allow the best performance when reading from or writing to it. Since it will be holding large images, performance will probably be an important criterion for you.
To set up your new external drive to be backed up by Time Machine, plug it in to your MacBook Pro, open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences, unlock the lock in the lower left corner if it shows a locked padlock, press the “Options…” button in the lower right corner, and make sure that your new external drive is not in the list of drives excluded from being backed up. If it’s not there, then you should be good. If it is there, then you’ll need to select it and press the “-” button to “subtract” it from the list of excluded drives.

How do you view file on an external drive using Unix?

Hi Folks,
I'm a serious UNIX newbie...Basically I took up unix in order to use a specific image processing software package... I've learned enough to write a script to batch process all of my images, but I have so many that I would like to use an external (USB) drive to hold the data and point the script towards those files.
Is there any way to navigate to an external drive in UNIX?
I see a lot about "mounting" drives, but I have no idea how to do this... I really need someone to hold my hand!
Thanks.
-Brent.

PS:
here is an example of mounting a network drive if you have to go across the network and actually have the external drive mounted, as opposed to just copying to/from (which would probably be the case coz' things like "scp" are going to ask you for a password):
mount -t smb server.work.com:/vol/vol0/Projects /Projects
-t is keyword for type of of filesystem and smb is the actual type.
server.work.com:/vol/vol0/Projects is path to actual directory on external networked drive. The trailing "/Projects" is the mount point and name on your computer.
Visit the "man" pages for mount in Terminal for more info, at prompt, type
man mount
You won't have to bother with this with a locally mounted (i.e., on the same computer that you are working on) firewire or USB drive. The local path is just
/Volumes/{NameOfExternalFirewireOrUSBdrive}/{filepath}

How do I make changes to an external drive connected to my Mac mini from my Windows 7 PC

I have an external drive which I learned had to be FAT32 for the read write option to be set in the Mac Mini. I did that and moved all the media files back on the external HDD. On the Mac Mini, I shared the 4 folders I needed (Ebooks, Movies, TV Shows, and Transfer). Also on the Mac, I added a user account "Ephraim" because that is the login I have for the WIN7. No Passwords are used right now. The current login being used on the mac is "Media". With the change to FAT32 I have set the permissions on the MAC to Read/ Write for Everybody. Everything listed shows read/write. From the WIN 7 "Ephraim" login, I mapped drives for every folder on Mac external. So, "TV Shows" is drive letter Z:. I can access all the folders/drives to view the files but, still get an error when attempting to change a name or move a file. "You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from the Computer's administrator to make changes to this file". On the Mac and the PC, the user accounts "Media" and "Ephraim" are set to administrator. SMB and AFP are selected under options. Under Get info, permissions show read write. I created a media login on the PC but could not see the mac mini at all. FYI the Mac mini is connected via ethernet.

In addition, I just realized I can make changes to sub folder names and move sub folders in to other sub folders. For Example: I have "Dexter" folder and Sub folders named "Season 1" and "Season 2". I move "Dexter Season 3" into "Dexter" folder, and I change the name to "Season 3". That can be done but I still cannot move a video file from an existing folder or change video file name itself. For example: I cant move a movie file from a sub folder to Gen Pop of the Movie folder, or change the name to my format. I want all files under movies with no other folders present, and I want the name to follow a format (Name Year Ex: "Flight 2012"). I have the mac mini in the living room and need to be able to make changes or additions from my desk, so as to not disturb people who are watching Cable TV by changing the input to work on the Mac files.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed and you don't know what it is now?

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed by the former husband and you don't know what it is now? And you set up your own new ID and account but can NOT access the updates, from the App store for the many apps that you already have, because they require that you sign in with that former now inaccessible ID and account and password? Call it a problem of modern times and changing relationships, if you want to be charitable.

So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it. Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.
You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.
