Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

    my mac os is 10.6.8 and when I try to upgrade, says I have most up to date software.
    You do. 10.6.8 is the latest update to 10.6.
    10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion are paid upgrades. Buy 10.8 in the Mac App Store if your Mac is compatible by searching for "Mountain Lion." If not, call Apple to order 10.7 Lion after making sure your Mac meets the requirements.

    I lost my apple tv remote.  How can I set up the use of my iphone remote app without it?

    The remote app would require home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. If that's not the case then you will need a new remote

  • Formatting issues: when I open a msg, the font is sooo small you need a magnifier to read it. How can I set the font size to one I can easily read?

    I have various formatting issues:
    a. When I open a msg from my web browser (Cablevision), the font is sooo small I need a magnifier to read it. How can I set the font to a size I can easily read?
    b. When I forward msgs, the text gets all distorted and I need to clean it up (some symbols, lots of spaces between words). How can this be fixed?
    c. When I want to tell someone about a website, I cannot type the URL in so that all they have to do is click on it. How can this be fixed?
    d. When I open messages, the text opens in a small window and covers the "Show Images" button. Why?
    == This happened

  • Hi I need to change itunes country from UK to USA I have US payment details but my billing address is in UK. How can I set this up?

    Hi I need to change itunes country from UK to USA I have US payment details but my billing address is in UK. How can I set this up?

    The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
    E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

    I have an Iphone 4s and have just gotten a new computer. I would like to transfer my contacts, photos etc. from my Iphone to my new computer so that when I need to sync my phone I will retain everything just as it is now on my Iphone. At the moment, when I try and sync my computer states that I will lose everything on my Iphone. Please help someone, I have too much on my phone to lose it. Thanks

    The iphone is not a backup device.  Everything should be on your computer.
    Copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • How can I set up the printer for a custom size A7 OR 10X7 FOLDED GREETING CARD SIZE?

    My new HP 7610 wide format printer does not have a "custom" paper size selection area. A 5x7 folded (open:10x7) greeting card is surely the most popular greeting card size but is NOT included in the printers size selection area- so - what to do?

    I understand that the paper size is supported but not while printing from Windows:

    Just to close out ... the 'supervisor' was clueless as it turns out.  Apple does NOT have a deal with UPS on handling the Mini, so the person who gave me the info was wrong.  Did he call back?  No ... he just let me go out and find out myself.
    So I called again, and this time eventually ended up with a manager, who told me that the UPS Store thing wouldn't work, but that a box would arrive and then there would be a 'forced replacement'.
    About 10 minutes later he called back and said he discovered that EVERYTHING the supervisor did was wrong ... he didn't actually properly flag for auto-replace, so I would have gone through an identical cycle again!  So he had to restart the whole process, meaning I would get TWO 'coffins', but that I would then get an auto-replacement and would see that indicated in my support email.
    I got the email, saw 'auto-replace'.  Got the box on the 28th and immediately turned it around.  Apple got the box on the 31st, and on the 1st I got emails that my Mini would arrive on the 2nd and it also had the new serial #.
    Yesterday I grab the box from FedEx and go home to check it out.  As expected, it IMMEDIATELY worked on my WiFi without issue ... and has worked perfectly since.
    So ...
    - it was NOT my home network.
    - it WAS a hardware issue with the Mini
    - Apple does NOT do proper testing on the Mini to detect what appears to be a fairly common issue.
    - non-retail customers ARE treated as second-class by support.
    This issue took FOUR WEEKS to resolve, involved FOUR shipments back & forth, and the ONLY reason it got resolved was that *I* did the troubleshooting that Apple either would not or could not do.
    For someone who has been an Apple customer for more than 30 years, this has been a sobering experience ... I quite frankly expected much better from them.

  • I keep getting the an Alexa Sparky pop-up each time I open Firefox, it does not provide a "no" option... how can I permanently stop the popup?

    Every time I open Firefox, I get a pop-up asking me to install the Alexa Sparky toolbar--which I do not want. The pop-up box does not offer an option to say "no" or "do not ask me again", which is VERY annoying. How can I permanently stop the popup?

    How to disable extensions, Personas, and plugins
    Disabling an add-on will turn it off without removing it:
    At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions or Appearance or Plugins panel.
    Select the add-on you wish to disable.
    Click the Disable button.
    Click Restart now if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.

  • We have 2 iphone 4. Not upgraded to OSI5. We share the same Apple id to buy, etc. How can we set up the same Apple id but a diiferent icloud id and still see both iphones on find my iphone?

    My wife and I both have iPhone 4 phones. Neither of them have been upgraded to OSI 5. We share the same Apple ID to buy things, etc. We are planning to buy an iphone 4s for our daughter next month. We would all like to share the same Apple id so that we can make purchases from the same account ... that way we only fund one account. We would like to upgrade to OSI 5 and keep/share the same Apple id but be able to set up different iCloud accounts for when we sync our phones. How can we do that? One other thing, we like being able to fine our locations on the same screen (and would add our daughter) using Find My Phone. Can we still do that? Thanks in advance for your help.

    You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
    Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

  • How can I set up the HP photosmart d110a on a mac?

    I own a macbook running lion(2010), setup on a wireless network run through a Linksys WRT110 wireless router.  I also bought the HP Photosmart d110, and it sets up and works fine through my windows laptop, but on my mac, I can't get it set up to scan at all.  I defined a static IP address for the printer.  I also printed out the wireless network test, the network is set up on WPA-PSK encryption.  When I try to detect the printer using the Setting/Print and Scan, it doesn't find the printer. I can print if I put in the IP address, but it won't scan.  Is there any way to set this printer up, or do I need to get a new printer?

    I also wanted to mention that after looking through this forum, I did check the router firmware, and my router is running the newest firmware already.
