I have too many Audiobooks on my Laptop and I need the storage space, how to go about removing them from my computer but not losing the stories

I need to open up some more "storage" space on my laptop... My Audio books are taking up a lot, so I'd like to take them off my laptop by still have them for another listen.  How do I do this?

Move the entire iTunes library to an external drive, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, choose that library, and back it up to a second external drive.

  • I have a 3G iphone. I just tried to download the new itunes and lost all my itunes I had.  I tried to transfer them from my computer but can't. How can I and what do I do to get the ones I bought before and now have lost.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • While dowloading an update for a program, several other programs seem to have been downloaded as well. How do I remove them from my computer or Firefox?

    I have re-set Google as my search engine and home page, but "MySearchDial" is pre-written in the Google search bar when I open the Google homepage. This was one of the programs which was downloaded in addition to my selectred update.

    It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders /
    installers will trick you into installing not only their program,
    '''''but other programs as well'''''.
    You have heard of the '''''fine print in shady contracts''''', right?
    Well, some installers you need to look at the '''''itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print'''''.
    You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program you want by using
    the '''''recommended''''' option. But if you use the '''''Manual Option Instead''''',
    you discover all kinds of stuff that '''''you do not even know what it is or what it does'''''.
    From now on, everyone needs to '''''Use The Manual Option''''' to put a stop to this.

  • I have two phones on one apple ID. After one updated yesterday on icloud it automatically took my contacts off and put the other ones on there. They still show up if I actually type them in when texting but not in the list.

    I have two phones on one apple ID. My son updated to icloud last night and when he did it took my contacs off of my phone and put his in there. When I go to text the numbers I can still find but when I click on the contacts they do not show. Is there a way to change this without restoring the last back up?

    You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
    Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

  • I want to transfer most of my photos from my iPhoto library to my external hard drive. I have been getting the message that my start up disk is almost full. I want to transfer and then remove them from my computer and have them only stored externally.

    My start up disk needs more space and I have tons of photos on my computer that I want to transfer to my external hard drive and remove from my computer to free up space. How can I do this and make sure all my photos are still properly saved and transferred. I dont need to transfer my whole iPhoto library just some really old albums.

    Here is some help.

    After confirming that all your stuff is on the drive, delete the photos you have copied. You will need to empty the iPhototrash to free up the space.

  • I have a macbook pro with Lion OS and am using Mac mail.  How do I attach documents as attachments instead of coming up in the body of the email?

    How do I attach a file to mac mail without it going into the body of the email?

    To add to what Kappy said, note that you really can't control how some other mail client might display an attachment.  Some may display them inline, while others may require them to be opened separately.  And different people have different desires in this area...  some want a PDF file, for example, displayed inline, while others prefer for it not to be.  Just attach the file(s) and don't worry about this so much.
    Also, I do have to disagree with Kappy on one point...  I would not say that you "should" compress files and attach the compressed archive file.  That will force all mail clients not to display the attachment inline, but not everyone will want that (you'd be forcing your tastes on all recipients of your e-mail), and some people have difficulty figuring out how to open and view the contents of compressed files.  It's an extra step for you and an extra step for the recipient, and is not needed for most popular file types.  (Of course, we could advise you more specifically if we knew what file types you're dealing with.)

    Oop I finally found the answer myself from the onOneSoftware.com website in the support area.  the answer is :
    Ononecorefoundation.dll Is Missing From Your Computer- Error Message
    This error can occur if there are older plugins lingering in your plugins folder of Photoshop after installing Suite 8 and trying to launch Photoshop. To correct the error go to your: [Local Disk (C:)]\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CSx 64bit\Plugins:Delete     
    PS:   I only deleted the old obsolete OnOne plugins,and left their  newer plugins, That worked and now Elements 10 is working just fine

  • I have purchased 4 apps that show up on my computer but not my phone.  How do I sync these with my iphone4?

    After purchasing  4 apps  I find them on my computer but not syncing with my Iphone4,. How do I sync these on my phone?

    If you purchased the apps from either the app store on your phone, or the app store that's part of itunes, make sure that you have selected "automatically sync new apps" in the apps pane of your sync window.
    You can also go into your app store on your phone and select the purchased button (under updates)...if you are running the latest software) and get them on your phone that way if you are unable to do a sync now.

  • Why does it keep telling me I have too many tabs open even if I only have one or 2?

    When I am online, several times a day it will not open a new tab and pop up a screen that tells me I have too many tabs open and gives me the option to let it close them or I can close them. But I may only have 1 tab open, sometimes more than that but it doesn't seem to matter how many. I can shut down my computer and bring it back up and it will work ok for a little while and then all of a sudden when I go to open a new tab it does it all over again. I am using mozilla and vista.

    You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that flush the tab?
    Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

  • We have too many apple devices, how can I creat another apple ID and divide the devices among 2 Apple Ids?

    Hello all,
    We started off with the original iPhone a few years ago and now between my wife and I (plus Kids) we have too many apple devices under the same apple-ID (2 X iPhone 6+, 2X macbook Pro, 2X iPod-touch and 1X iPad)
    We are constantly running into issues because everyone in the house is using the same apple id, downloading Apps using the same ID, sharing the same cloud and receiving each other's iMessages.
    I know that I can create another Apple-ID, what I am unclear on is once I do have a new apple ID, how do I assign that to half the devices (1X iPhone 6+, 1 X MBP and 1 Ipad)
    Please respond if you are able to help.
    Thank you

    I'm not sure what they told your at the Apple store, but each Apple ID can only create a single iCloud account.  If you want separate accounts for all these devices, they will have to be created using separate IDs.  Note: you can do this and still share the same ID for other services such as your iTunes store account.  The iCloud ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for other services.
    To create an account, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with a different Apple ID.  If you want to migrate a copy of the current iCloud data to the different accounts, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the devices keeping the current account will not be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • Can't add new icloud account to iPhone says that I have too many accounts please help! Forgot old username and email

    I Made a new icloud account bc forgot my username and email and now I can't access bc says I have too many accounts on phone please help!

    If the messages says the maximum number of accounts have already been created, you will not be able to create a new one on that phone.  All you can do in that case is either reuse one of the accounts previously created or create your new account on a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.
