I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.
On your Mac.......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
Click Erase Disk
On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
The operation will only take a few minutes.
Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs. Back up one Mac first, then back up the other. Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

I cannot access my iphoto application on my imac as it says I have made changes in Iphoto using a newer version. We have recently purchased a Macbook Air and this has Lion (as opposed to leopard on the iMac) and we are sharing photos between the 2. I am awaiting the upgrade discs for snow leopard and then to Lion for the iMac but is there a way to access my photos until this arrives?

I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!
If there are fonts, transitions, builds, video or audio in the PowerPoint file that are not compatible with Keynote, it will either prevent the presentation opening or Keynote will substitute the settings causing playback changes.
I use Open Office to play and open any PowerPoint files sent to me, they play exactly as in PowerPoint.
Open Office is free, you can download it here:

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro and when connecting my iPhone 5 to the Macbook's Messages app, I clicked cancel after seeing the 6 digit code. I thought I could easily get that code back to my phone, but can't figure it out at all. Any help?

I Downloaded hundreds of CDs to iTunes on a previous laptop and synced them with my iPad and classic ipod. We recently purchased a MacBook Air, and I started downloading more CDs to iTunes. When I went to sync my iPod, it removed all my old music and only included the music that I had just downloaded. When I went to my iTunes library, the old music was missing. The old music is still showing up on my iPad. How do I get it back into the library, or do I have to download everything again onto the MacBook air?

You mean on the old computer, the music is missing?
Or on the new computer the old music that you transferred from old computer, is now missing?
Did you transfer the iTunes library from the old computer to the new computer? -
i have recently purchased a macbook pro and i gave my macbook to my wife, how can she recover the apps i bought and paid for so she can use the Pages, Numbers and Keynote
If you bought/paid for them in the Mac App Store, you would just need to sign in to the MAS with the Apple ID you used to purchase them, go to purchases, and click install.
As for the limited licensing that Bordy brought up, the TOS for the MAS states:
"Apps from the Mac App Store may be used on any Macs that you own or control for your personal use."
If you installed them from an iWork disc, just pop the disc back in and reinstall.

I have recently purchased an ipad air and want to download cdg karaoke files from my laptop how do i do this. and can anyone recommend a karaoke player i can use when doing my gig's. cheers
Try here > iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
iCloud doesn't support movies...
iCloud backs up your:
Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and video in the Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
From here > Apple - iCloud - Store and back up your content in iCloud. -
How can two people edit the same FCPX file? One company, so both people/computers share the same license. Example: I work on revision A and my boss takes it and makes revision B and gives it back to me using two separate computers.
Have the project, events and media on one drive which is common to both macs.
You can download FCP X to both macs using the same Apple ID that it was purchased with.

I have a POP Verizon e-mail address on my iMac and use Mac Mail v3.6. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and would like to sync the e-mail so that they're the same on each machine. I've learned I must switch to IMAP...how is this done? Please dumb it down as best you can. I have this great fear that I'll lose all my e-mails in the process.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and transferred data from my MacBook using Migration Assistant via Ethernet cable. I was confused about consolidating my accounts, so I continued to use my old MacBook. Can I now update the data transfer using the same process and begin using my new MacBook Pro exclusively? How do I consolidate my existing accounts?
Thank you.Of course. It does everything it did before Yosemite. You just won't be able to send or receive SMS messages with it.

Upgrading the OS does not remove your apps and purchases. -
I moved from USA to South Africa and now cannot play my music on my new PC. I cannot remember the password for my USA account so cannot deauthorize that account to allow me to play my music on my South African account. How can I now play the music? When I try to use my secret questions to access my old account I am told I have the wrong answers, including my own birth date!!!
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them: -
i have downloaded sevral movies like iron man and spy nevt door, and when i try to re download them it asks if i want to buy them again, how can i re download them without aying again?
You can't. Movies are sold on a one-time only download. You would have been reminded to back them up at the time of purchase, unless you had previously opted to supress such reminders.
