I am photo streaming my docs from my macbook air and want to assure they do not get auto deleted after 30 days??
I have a macbook air, and an Iphone 4S, as well as an Ipad 2. I have many pictures that I was just now sending to my "Icloud free 5 gig" I noticed a comment that stated that Photo will delete the oldest files after 30 days so as to manage size?? I don't want to have that happen, I want to put them there and leave them there. I don't want the cloud space deciding which pictures shoudl be dumped. . .
Am I overlooking or misinterpreting something? I mean I am pretty concerned and if that is the case, I want to pull them back down or whatever and have them stay on the individual devices. . .I figured it would be free space that I could delete if I wanted to, not arbitrrarily by a date and some unknown valuating system of measure. . .
Thanks,
Dave
PS Still can't get my arrow keys to go back, or up kinda a pain..
if I empty my music from my old computer will I lose all my music on my new computer - ipod etc...
No. Be sure you have transferred the entire contents of your old /Home/Music/ folder.
Create a new user account on your old computer. Have your granddaughter tell you what she would like the username to be and what password she wants. Be sure to set the new account with Administrative authority. Then log into this new account and delete your old account.

Log into the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up. Look under purchases. If it is not there you may need to accept it or to unhide it

The Setup Assistant can restore your data from a Time Machine backup. You'll be asked if you want to do this the first time you turn the computer on.

I am trying to record a meditation from my Macbook Air and an annoying loud sound, like a burp, will suddenly erupt from the MacBook, necessitating I start again. Any ideas on how I may stop this, or what it is??
Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data. -
i accidentally deleted some drivers from my macbook air and now i can not access app store and system preferences as it says the following message (You can't open the application System Preferences because it may be damaged or incomplete)
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu. -
I recently got a MacBook Air and want to transfer my itunes library over from my PC to my Mac.
My family has 1 computer where everyone but me syncs all their devices, I had a PC and had my own library but all on one account. I recently got a MacBook Air and want to get my library from my PC onto my Mac. I tried getting it from icloud but instead I got everyones music all together and none of my playlists where there. How to In get my library onto my Mac without adding the entire icloud library?
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 -

Help! I am super frustrated.
I just bought a new Macbook Air running Mavericks. My old computer is a white macbook running 10.5.8. After much research I determined that in order to use migration assistant I needed to upgrade to Snow Leopard. I ordered the new disc from Apple, went out tonight and bought the SuperDrive in order to do the install (my disc drive no longer works on the old macbook) - and the SuperDrive is not compatible with the old macbook. ARGH! So for the moment migration assistant is out as I'd like to avoid going out and buying a second external disc drive.
I believe the only things I really need from the old computer are itunes, documents and photos/videos. I was able to enable home sharing and transfer itunes last night. I saved all documents to an external drive and have copied them over. Now all that remains is iphoto. Last night I copied the iphoto folder to an external drive and imported it into the pictures folder on my new macbook air. When I opened attempted to open them in iphoto, nothing happened - there were no photos - it wouldn't recognize them I guess. So I dragged it all to the trash and I'm back to square one.
Any ideas on how I can get my photos/videos onto this new computer?
And - is there anything I'm overlooking in terms of things that should be migrated to this new computer?
Please help. I don't really know what else to try. I just feel like there has to be a trick in the way that I export and then import iphoto that I'm overlooking. I've combed thru the support communities and just don't really know what else to try.Thanks for the advice on switching out the external drive. I ended up doing trying a wireless transfer last night while I was sleeping - and it seems to have worked.
So - no I have documents, photos, itunes, and contacts migrated over.
Is there anything that I'm not thinking of that I should try to get off of the old computer? I do have an old version of Adobe Photoshop Elements that would be nice to bring over - but I probably won't miss it if I can't. Is there a way to wirelessly move over an application? And - it looks like iMovie won't be able to transfer - I only have 3 movies on the old one - but I cannot highlight them when I tried to move them over. Should I consider those a loss?
Again - thanks for any and all help. Looks like I'm doing this by bits and pieces instead of with Migration Assistant. -
I have purchased another security system for my Mackbook Air and my required PC. I now cannot remove Webroot security from my Mac. It responds to me that I do not have "the authority.....", cannot because "it is in use elsewhere", etc. I am using Finder and when I ask to move the application, Finder asks me for my authority password and acts like it is doing the job, but up pops the reason (above) why I can't. I'm not an experienced user of the Mac product but like it a lot. Hopefully, someone can give me a hint. Thanks in advance!
rmbAny third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software. -
Fan noise coming from the macbook air, and battery won't charge?
Brand new laptop and now there is a very loud fan noise coming from the computer when i opened it up this morning. I also noticed that there was no battery symbol in the top right corner, so i plugged it in to charge it but the light on the charger wont turn on so its not charging? What do i do? Thanks
Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, contact Apple.

Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear. Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not). But they no longer appear as a recent import. Lots more happens and I'm wondering if it's because I have a 5-year old Mac book or iPhoto is having issues. I'm not happy with disappearing photos especially after I've deleted them from my iphone after importing them to my macbook.
Has anyone experienced similar difficulties and what can I do?Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -
Since iso8.2 update camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my iPad
Since the ISO8.2 update the camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my photos app on my iPad 2 anyone else suffered the same problem and how do I get them back?
Hey carolfromdaventry,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides some great information any questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8:
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6464
Where can I find the Camera Roll?
The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
Thanks,

HT201317 So if photos are deleted after 30 day from icloud
If photos are deleted after 30 days from icloud, why doesn't my available storage increase if I have had "backup device" turned off for more than 30 days.
That refers to photo stream photos, which don't count against your iCloud storage. They also aren't contained in the iCloud backup; only camera roll photos are, which are not deleted after 30 days. They stay on your device until you delete them.
