Any work around ideas for getting more room on my mac air

Hi. I have an older mac air which really has minimal room left on it. I am going to a photo workshop and would like to be able to upload and edit my images on it but know after 1 day of shooting in raw I will max out the computer. Is there a way to do a work around with an external? I edit with lightroom and will likely shoot at least 2500 images at 25 mpx each, thats alot of data. There is nothing I can remove on the air to free up space.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Julien

Thank you all. Sounds like i might as well buy a new (mac OS supported) external hard drive. Not worth the hassle/risk of taking all the old files off my current external HD.
Really appreciate all your help!

Any work around ideas to get Shake to work with Yosemite?

Alright, now that I have confirmed the sad news about Shake on Yosemite: Does shake still work with OS X Yosemite? I imagine I will eventually need to upgrade for the sake of my other software... Any ideas for a work around for when the day comes? Any cheeper options than running Mavericks in Parallels (Seeing as I would have to buy it)?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with.

I'm not able to move files from my mac to my hard drive, but i can move files from my hard drive to my Mac. Would really like to make more room on my mac-any suggestions to get these files onto the hard drive?

When i plug my external hard drive into my mac i'm able to see all the files on it and move files off the hard drive to the mac, but not the other way around. I need to make more room on my mac and would really like these files to be on this particular external hard drive. Any help would be great!
Thank you

Any work-around for non-Lion-supported HP LaserJet printer?

I just upgraded to Lion, and while love many of the features (the new mail app is great), I just discovered that my 6-month-old HP LaserJet CP1525nw printer apparently isn't compatible with Lion. Does anyone have any work-arounds for generic drivers that might resolve this. As inexpensive as Lion is, I'd hate to have to buy a new printer just so I can take advantage of Lion funcationality and full iCloud capabilities. Thanks.

In preparing to install the drivers for the CP1510 series, I decided to download and reinstall the package for the CP1520 series. First, I also installed the firmware update, which had been released since I purchased my printer. Then I reinstalled the drivers using System Preferences, etc.
Lo and behold, the printer now works. For some reason, after the upgrade to Lion, the drivers for my CP1525nw stopped working, even though all of my other printers (1610, 2510, 2610, 2605dn) performed just fine without any jiggering after the Lion upgrade.
Curiously, my first attempt to download the software package for the CP1525nw wouldn't download, launching a dialog that says the driver isn't supported for this operating system. The HP website does not include the CP1525nw in the list of supported LaserJets, but elsewhere paradoxically claims all printers supported for Snow Leopard should also run on Lion, which appears to be true for the CP1525nw.
Go figure. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. It got me headed in the right direction.

HT1531 netflix requires intel based, but I have a power PC (old power book G-4) are there any work arounds?

Excel allows array arithmetic (e.g. sum(a1:a5* b1:b5) where the contents of the cells are the results of formulae. Numbers only allows constants in the array cells. Right? Any work-arounds?

Working Java IDE for Intel-based Mac?

Apparently Rosetta has big problems with the Java virtual machine, so my beloved Borland JBuilder crashes on startup (on my iMac Core Duo), despite working beautifully on my PowerBook.
Looking for a replacement, I found this apple website:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/eclipse.html
which enthusiastically endorses an IDE called "Eclipse" for Java development on the Mac. So I downloaded it, but it too crashes on startup. Is Apple planning to fix these fairly severe Rosetta problems? Otherwise, are there any reasonable Java IDE's out there that Intel-based macs are capable of running?
(Wolfram -- the company that makes Mathematica -- has also noticed problems with Rosetta's handling of the Java VM: http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/macintosh/osx/macintelrosetta.htm l )

Hello Mike,
yes you are right.
The Bug #98889, deals with the Eclipse on Intel-Mac problem, since June, 8th 2005 and it works great.
I took the https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=33023 attachement (SWT 3219) and placed
- eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.2.0.jar
instead of
- eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.1.1.jar
That was all I have to do.
After the installation, you got an eclipse which runs at an incredible speed I never saw before - even on Windows-native machines at work!
Remark: There will also be an org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.2.0 directory extracted which you should put into the plugins - directory.
I use a stable 3.1 version with this patch and everything works fine.

The hard drive is what contains all your data, the RAM is random access memory, the more you have, the happier your machine will be.

Macbook Air memory is soldered to the logicboard.
You can only get 4GB or 8GB (2012 Models) in the Air when you order it that way. Otherwise, you're stuck with 2GB.
Unless you're talking about hard drive space - then it is upgradeable - click HERE to see which one corresponds to your model.

Were can I get either MacBook Pro or Mac-air with English united state style keyboard, in Japan

Were can I get either MacBook Pro or Mac-air with English united state style keyboard, in Japan

Hi Melophage,
Thank you very much for your response. I have a similar question to the one Abraham has, but applied to an offline Apple Store, say, the one in Ginza.
I will have little time in Tokyo, and would like to get a MacBookPro with a US or Int'l keyboard (with or without Hiragana, I don't really care as long as there are English letters on the keyboard) off the shelf from an offline store. However, I keep getting conflicting responses from both within Apple and on forums.
There's an option to get a US keyboard when ordering from Apple online, and that's fine. How about the in-store pickup option? Is there one, or will there be a MacBookPro with an English keyboard if I just show up at a store one day soon?
I would greatly appreciate an answer if you have one. Thanks in advance!
