I want to give my old Time Capsule to someone to use but I don't want them to have access to our old backups. How can this be done?

I just upgraded my 1st generation Time Capsule to the latest model. I'd like to re-purpose my old one and offer it to someone in my family. How can I do this and yet not allow them to access our old backup copies?

If you log out of your apple ID on your iPad and let someone else use it and they use facetime. How come it shows my facetime history and not theirs? I do not want them to have access to my history. How can I prevent that and they can see their own?

If you log out of your apple ID on your iPAD mini and let someone else use it and they use facetime. How come it shows my facetime history and not theirs? I do not want them to have access to my history. How can I prevent that and they can see their own? Or is the history associated with the iPAD mini itself and not the actual icloud user account?

You are logging out from
Settings -> FaceTime, right?
My guess would be though, that the FaceTime history is stored locally on the device, so anyone using it will see the entire device history (I cannot imagine that FaceTime uploads the history to an Apple server anywhere - I'm sure it is just logged locally on the device - based on my iPhone and iPad show completely different histories, for example).

You need a Time Machine backup to restore an old version. If you don't have one, you'll lose your library because it can only be used with iTunes 11

I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

You can't drag video into the filesharing pane of iTunes, you can only transfer projects.
Videos need to come in via the photos tab of iTunes.
The easiest way to get videos from the iPhone to the iPad is via the project export import.
Projects can be exported from the iPhone, then imported to the iPad like this:
iPhone Send a project or trailer to iTunes
If the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button .
Scroll to center the project or trailer you want to share.
Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap iTunes; tap OK when iMovie indicates that export is complete.
Connect your device to your computer, and then open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
Select the device, and then click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
In the iMovie Documents pane, select the file you just shared, and then click the “Save to” button; save the file to your computer in a place where you can find it easily.You can also save the file by dragging it to the desired location on your computer.
Disconnect the device from your computer.
iPad Import a project or trailer from iTunes

Click Add below the iMovie Documents pane; in the window that appears, navigate to the file you want to add.
Select the file, and then click Open to copy the file to your device.The file appears in the iMovie Documents pane when copying is complete.
Open iMovie on your device; if the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button in the upper-left corner above the viewer.

I want to import songs frm my Ipod to my itunes library. Songs were ripped from CDs to the ipod not purchased from itunes store...how can this be done?

I want to import songs frm my Ipod to my itunes library. Songs were ripped from CDs to the ipod not purchased from itunes store...how can this be done?

You would have to let itunes rip the songs from the cd's, or you would have to copy the music from the computer which ripped cd's.
iTunes does not support transferring music from the ipod unless it was purchased from the store.

HT1178 i can't connect the time capsule with my mac using the aiport utility. i want to use the time capsule to make backup for my mac book pro. the time capsule is giving a flashed amber light. please advice me

the time capsule is giving flashed amber light and i cant connect it to my mac book pro. i want to use it with the time machine to make backup for my mac. please advice me.

To do the setup, plug it in via ethernet.. do not try to setup over wireless.. Once it is setup you can plug the TC into the network and use wireless.
Most likely you will use the TC in bridge to an existing modem router.. but we cannot help as you have no details of the network setup.
I do recommend in the setup of the TC you use SMB type names.. that means, short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.. as later Mac OS do have issues with long names, spaces and that apple shocker, the apostrophe.

Gigs of hourly Time Machine backups, how can this be? How do I see exactly.

Good day everyone, this is my first post here. I have been a Microsoft laptop user for 15 years, and just bought a Macbook and just switched to Mac. My wife says that I have "been obsessed" for the last few weeks with Apple Apple Apple, Mac Mac Mac ....
After 2 weeks of switching (tired of constant windows problems), I can honestly say that I am IMPRESSED with the Macbook and Mac OS X. You can see that it's an operating system designed to easily and quickly complete "any task at hand".
*On to my question,* I have Time Machine set up, and basically it does it's magic every hour to an USB Hard Drive. However, recently I have been checking to see by clicking my mouse on the TM icon in the upper right file menu, to see "how much TM is backing up".
Sometimes it says that it's backing up a few megs, and sometimes it says that it is backing up 4 gig. There's a BIG DIFFERENCE.
I am basically using Safari, Mail, iCal, Address Book, XP thru my Parallels virtual partition, and other basic programs like an HTML editor for my houseboat website. http://www.all-about-houseboats.com ( I couldn't help but mention the site)
So my question is:
*I don't see how I can accumulate a 4-6 Gig of changed data in an hour?*
*Is there any way to see exactly the files that TM is backing up every hour?*
I know there's many knowledgeable people here, and I find the Apple/OS X environment totally refreshing compared to the Microsoft Windows world. If anybody here has the same issue, or can direct me to how to see what's being backup, or to a simple software to see where these "gig's" of occasional hourly changes are coming from?
Again, thanks for reading my first post, IAN...

Want to give my old IPOD to husband but how do we share music etc - he wants different music and apps to me how can this be done without me deleting my stuff?

Oooppss! Put the whole question in the title bar!
What I would like to know is how do I get to keep my stuff different from my husbands, there are things that we both like and things that we don't. I dont want him to delete off my old IPOD if it means i have to keep installing again. I dont want to set up a new account because we want to share music and videos

You'll notice that each iPad is identified by name. See image below. Highlight the appropriate iPad and configure iTunes the way that you wish. The second image below is an example for apps. You'll see something similar for movies, TV shows, etc.
The only minor problem is app updating. IF you choose to do it from inside iTunes, it's a minor nuisance. Each app is permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was originally used to obtain it. If you're logged in to the wrong ID, you'll need to log out and back in again. On the bright side, if you update from the iPad, all you need is the password for the correct ID. The iPad takes care of the rest.
Mail is a special case. I use Mac Mail and the setup is pretty much automatic. What are you using?

We need to cancel / delete further use of B2B custom app installed on ipad. how can we do this. we dont care that the redemption code is reusable. we just want to disable the app on the ipad. how can this be done ?

we need to disable a previously provided b2b custom app on a non supervised ipad. can we cancel the redemption code to stop access to the app for the user who used the code? any help is appreciated.

Wow, sorry to hear of your experience. Seems strange that your disk would just eject like they did. It could be a lot of things but more than likely you just kind of have to start all over.
What I would do is insert your system disk and instead of going immediately to an install I would go to disk utility and erase the drive. That will erase everything on the disk and give you a new blank disk to start with. After that I would try to reinstall the system. Assuming that goes well then you should be restored to where it was when you purchased it. After that you can reinstall all your applications or personal files. I hope you have good backups.
I remember one time I was having a similar problem and don't ask my why I did it but I actually could not get it to install a system. I removed both of my ram sticks, shut the computer down for about 10 minutes including unplugging it from the wall plug, then reinstalled the ram, plugged it back in and started up from the system disk and all worked just fine. To this day I have no idea if pulling the ram helped but I have never had to do it since and for some dumb reason that solved the problem I was having, which is the same problem you are having now. Call it voodoo but it worked.
Good Luck!!

I want to install my firefox profile onto a different drive from the program. How can this be done?

I have two virtual drives: C for programs and D: for data. Only D: is encrypted and backed up.
I want to install Firefox onto the C: drive but have the profile on D: so the bookmarks etc. are encrypted and backed up.
I can see how to do this.

Help-I want to move my stuff out of admin user account to a non-admin user account for security. How can this be done?

So... I have amassed loads of documents, videos, music, photos, etc. onto my MacBook Pro all under the admin user account I set up for myself. I am the only one who uses the MacBook. I now work virtually and am online at different free wifi spots, and I want to access all of my stuff under a non-admin user account for security reasons.
I attempted to uncheck the "allow this user to administer this computer" box under my admin user account, but it is greyed out and I cannot.
Is there an easier way to fix this than backing up all of my stuff and then moving it to a non-admin account?

There is only one solution: create a new Standard user account and set it as your auto login account, if you use that feature.
Using what you describe is mostly a false sense of security. Were someone to hack into the computer they could hack into the standard account, so you would not wish to keep any sensitive data in that account. Other things to consider:
Turn on your Firewall in Security & Privacy preference panel.
Use software to mask your online presence such as ProxyCap 2.03, MacProxy, Proxifier, or Hotspot Shield.

I am trying to determine how I can take an email without an attachment and save it to a folder. I am not able to paste the message anywhere. I can copy but to no avail. I want to set up folders in email to move and save emails. How can this be done?

I am trying to determine how I can save emails into folders in my email account. No ability to create a folder to move an email over into. How can I do this?

If you are using iPad Mail app, in the left hand column tap the arrow in the top left corner until you return to where your main email address appears. This is the main account screen.
Then tap the email address/account once.
In the left column in the upper right, tap the Edit button.
At the bottom of the left column/panel there is a New Mailbox button.
Tap the button. At the top of the left column, a keyboard entry field appears.
Thiis is where you tap and enter the name of your new Mailbox folder.
Once done naming, click the done button at the top right of the left column and you are done.
This is how you add additonal mailbox folders to your email account.
Once the mailbox folders you need are created, you can return to any email entry, Tap the Edit button in the upper right of the left column, again. A button appears next to all the emails in the left column.
Tap the buttons for the ones you wish to move to a particular mailbox folder, at the bottom of the left column, choose the Move button, then pick the mailbox folder to move the emails to and they will automatically move to that mailbox folder.

My daughter bought a IPad 2 in Indonesia and now wants to register in UK so she can have kindle,how can this be done ?

My daughter bought a Ipad 2 in Bali,Indonesia.After registration ,she noticed that she did not have access to Kindle.How can she re-register the Ipad to another country,eg UK?

It's not due to where she registered the device, it's where she lives and therefore where her iTunes account is - as she is in Indonesia she can only use the Indonesian iTunes store, she would need to be here in the UK with a UK billing address on here account to use the UK store.
