My computer is full and I need to save all my shows and movies on an external hard drive. I am on a mac book pro and I can't figure out how to drag the show in to the external hard drive

My computer is full and I need to remove movies and tv shows out of itunes and save them in an external hard drive. I cant figure out how to save them so I will be able to access them again. Or store them in the cloud

Do not store them in the Cloud. It isn't really storage. For iTunes purchases, for example, it is just re-downloading a purchase. If a label decides to no longer make the item available it will disap[pear from the cloud and that will be it for you.
You can't store items on an external drive simply by dragging them there. That's too complicated for iTunes and how it is set up to work. I know I post on this 10x a week and there's many other posts discussing this. I suggest you browse a bit first. Your options are basically to either put your whole library on the eternal drive (which is a nuisance if you don't want to drag it everywhere with you), or to copy individual items to the external drive, delete them from the internal drive, then re-add them as new items (re-adding to playlists, etc.).

How do I use GarageBand as a amp/speaker to listen to my Electronic Drum set? I have a MIDI-USB cord already but I can't figure out how to listen to my set through the software using my computer speakers?

How do I use GarageBand as a amp/speaker to listen to my Electronic Drum set? I have a MIDI-USB cord already but I can't figure out how to listen to my set through the software using my computer speakers?

If you want to listen to the sounds of your drum set, you should use an audio cable and connect it to the computer's line-in, then create a real instrument track.
If you use a Midi/USB interface, you'll have to create a software instrument track and select one of GB's drumsets as the instrument. Hopefully your drumset's midi notes are mapped to the right sounds in GB.

Can't figure out how to delete addresses that autofill in the Mail To field

Can't figure out how to delete addresses from the address book that will automatically fill in an address after typing a few letters of a name. Quite a few people have changed their email address but I sometimes inadvertenly choose an old address just because I can't delete it.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Milli.

Assuming you're using Apple Mail, you take those old addresses out of the Previous Recipients list. When in Mail, go to the Window menu, then Previous Recipients. Edit this list, it's everyone you've sent mail to, not just address book people.
Alternatively, when composing a mail message and seeing those old addresses, you should be able to click & hold over the name and a list of actions should appear, including "remove from previous recipients list" if they are not in your address book.

I just started up with my IPod, I download music to my library and I accidently changed the artists name in an entire category. I can't figure out how to undo it. I read the edit help stuff but I can't select the item I need to edit

I just started using my IPod and I downloaded my library. I accidently changed the artist names for an entire genre category and I can't undo it. I read all the edit help stuff and I either can't select items to edit or I'm an idiot and I can't figure it out. I keep trying and I get a pop up that asks me if I want to change multiple items.

I can't figure out how to get music from iTunes to the iPhone 4S.

I've tried to sync music, but it says there are zero songs. This new set-up of iTunes is the dumbest thing I've ever seen, and doesn't have the side menu to the left where you could click the device that it used to. I have the computer authorized and all that. I even set up home sharing.

Hi marjillantz,
I'm sorry you're having trouble with your new computer. How frustrating! You've landed in the Acrobat.com forum, which isn't the right place to find the answer you need. But, I did find this article for you: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00861462
I hope it helps.
Best,

Project (movie) not showing up in trash when I delete it from iMovie (version 10.0.4). Thus, I can't figure out how to permanently delete it from the hard drive. I'm running out of hard drive space fast! Any ideas?

I am trying to delete a project (movie) from iMovie (version 10.0.4). I successfully deleted it but it isn't then showing up in my trash items to delete it there. Thus, I'm running low on my storage space. Any ideas?

It's an iMovie Library file that you need to search for. By default iMovie Library files are in the Movies folder.

I am trying to download ebook from my public library on my macbook pro but cant get it to work anyone got a solution?

They are usually intended for mobile devices like iPhones, iPad's (and Kindle's) ... you need the Apple iBook app to read them.
Google for Stanza or eReader and it should do what you want.

Is their a fail safe on Mac Book Pro's I can't burn out my computer

I do a lot of work with Blender (3d Software meant for design and animation) and when I render a scene I hear my computer's fun turn on high. I get nervouse that one of these days I will try to render a complex scene and burn out my Mac. Does apple have a fail safe like a automatic shut down to stop this and will apple care cover a computer that gets burned out?
Also if I render a lot will it eventually slow down my computer?
Thanks for the help:)

if you have apple care, it will be covered if using your computer makes it "burn out". The fans are there so it doesn't get overheated. it will also go to sleep if it does over heat, so yes there is a fail safe.

in a window on the left under devices and I would just drag playlist over from my library but now device is in the right hand corner and I can't figure out
how to drag music over. Help please

I am having trouble setting up icloud it keeps sending me back to install instructions and I'm just getting frustrated. So far I'm not liking the new itunes I can't figure out how to look at my duplicate music like I used to.

I can't sign on to icloud. It says I need an icloud account. I click the help option it send me back to the same page. I reinstall it nothing.
Download the iCloud Control Panel.
To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).
ok I can't seem to set up iCloud on any device I don't understand... Ive already installed it three times.
Turn on iCloud.
From the Windows Start menu, choose iCloud Control Panel.
Enter the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account and select the iCloud services you’d like to enable.
For mail, contacts, and calendars, you can use iCloud.com or Outlook 2007 or later.
there is no iCloud control panel but I click on i cloud. Then entere the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account - WHAT!!!!? where is this I keep trying to find out how to create and iCloud account but I keep getting these stupid directions!!!
Enable automatic downloads.
To enable automatic downloads for your music, apps, and books, open iTunes > Edit > Preferences > Store and select Music, Apps, and Books.* (Requires iTunes 10.5 or later.)
- This is the only step that makes sense and already did it...
Turn on iCloud for the rest of your devices.
To get the most out of iCloud, set it up everywhere.
This is soooo frustrating!!!!
Also I want to be able to look at duplicate songs on my itunes but after I downloaded the new version I can not figure out how to get that back. If the duplicate setting isn't in the new itunes I want the old version back.

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

I recently updated by iphone 4s but can't figure out how to put icons on the desktop as short cuts to my games.

I recently updated my iphone 4s but can't figure out how to put my game icons on the front page to use as shortcuts to my games. Anyone know?

Dear Friend ,
Can you please be more clear by mentioning what do you mean by shortcuts to the games ?
Still Here is what it takes you to get what you want .
Firstly , your iPhone by default comes with preset of 16-18 Apps in your Homescreen (including Dock)
Make sure your apps are installed either directly from the app store in your phone or through iTunes in your Mac or PC
once they are installed you can notice them by swiping the homescreens.
Long press the app icon , you can notice they all would be in "jiggle" mode
Drag them and place them in your home screen
