Can I copy old backups from an external HD to a new one? Thanks for your help.
I'm using time machine on an external hard disc (1 TB) for more than a year now. Now the eHD is nearly full and I would like to change to a bigger one. Is it possible to copy the backups from the old one to the new one? Thanks a lot for your help.
Hello Joe Gramm. Thank you for the link. This is what I was trying to do 2 days ago. I think the problem is, that the old eHD doesn't have the "Ignore ownership on this volume" button, while the new one has it. Therefore I tried to change the rights of access on everything (see above)... Trying to copy now brings me the following message: "Das Backup kann nicht kopiert werden, da beim Backup-Volume kein Eigentümer aktiviert ist." translatet something like: the backup could not be copied, because there is no owner activated on the backup-volume. Do you have any ideas how to change that or how to proceed? Many thanks for any input!

Can you share photos between machines that use the same wifi network? Thanks for your help.
Can you share photos on i-photo between machines that use the same network or even between different accounts on the same machine? I know you can share music on i-tunes but can you do the same on i-photo? Thanks for your help.
Yes.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
You can figure out using it with another machine from that too -
hi i have adifficult to acess itune. the avfoundationCF.dll is missing on my laptop error 7( windows error 126).how to reinstal it,thanks for your help
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Hello everyone,
In the subject, I believe I specify exactly my problem. I am using iPhoto but am a beginner. So lots of new things to learn.
I thus would like to eliminate the post stamps which appear on almost every single page of my photo album.
Can anyone help me?
Many thanks
ClaireHi Terrence, you are quite right - looking further into the file, I notice now that I choose the wrong theme, one which has stamps on every single page. Thanks a lot for your help. I am now able to improve my work on my present iPhoto album. Regards - Claire

Can I delete old backups from other devices if my new iphone 6 has a current backup with everything on my new phone?
Hi there dyarrell,
You can do this if you are confident that your current device has all of the data on it that you want to keep. The method for deleting the backup will be differnt depending on the backup method. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

My old of was destroyed. How can I copy my library from my iPhone 4S to my new PC? Not all my music was purchased through iTunes.
The following user tip is worth checking through:

I'm the proud owner of 1200 Classical CDs which I ripped and loaded in my iTunes library, together with a couple dozen videos downloaded fro youtube. These are not (with a few exceptions, maybe 20 records) items purchased in the iTunes store. How can I copy this library to another Mac? Thanks for your help.

I have recently recieved messages indicating that my start up disc is almost full. Consequently I need to remove some files from my hard drive. I've backed up my hard drive onto a NAS system & onto an external harddrive. The problem now, is that whenever I try to delete a file, a message comes up saying that if I remove this file from my hard disc it will remove it from all my other devices that are syn. to it. How do I remove a file (movies) from my iMac but not from other devices.
Thanks for your help
RobertYou're right - this question has nothing to do with iSync!
You're best bet would be to buy yourself an external Firewire or USB 2.0 hard-disk. There's no way you'll get 150gb onto an 80gb drive - certainly not in an instantly accessible way.
Your new Mac would've had the Migration Assistant appear during the initial OS install. This allows you to connect your new and old Mac together via a Firewire cable and automatically transfer your important files from old Mac to new.
Once you've all the files off your old Mac, re-format it and re-install the OS that came with it. If you boot up the Mac from the OS install DVD, there is an option to re-format the HD and install the OS.

In FCP X How do I capture tape-based media (hdv clips)- which I want to import-to my external hard drive? There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac. The FCPX manual says to import tape footage directly into final cut, which works, but then I lose my external hard drive Do I have to import it into an event, then copy it over to an external hard drive? On Larry Jordan's tutorial, he has 3 external hard drives that show up on his monitor WHILE he imports his tape based media. How is that done? I can only get either the camera to appear OR my external hard drive. thanks for your help.
Thanks for your response, but that doesn't solve the problem. Yes, the LaCie hard drive has 2 firewire ports-
I have always done what you suggest (works fine in FCP7), but in FCPX when I do that the camcorder icon
does not appear. It only shows up when I DIRECTLY import the footage via firewire. ???? -
I have forgotten my "restrictions code" passcode. How can I get a new passcode? Thanks for your help. Paul
If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
necessary to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -
Hi guys n girls. How do you copy a whole table to create a new table with all cell sizes in tact? Thanks for your help. Jason.
when you copy n paste into a new table, all the cell sizes are changed.
is there a way to put in a new table from your templates into an existing file, different to the standard very basic ones in insert table.
I look forward to your answers. Your help is very much appreciated.
Also how do you search for question answers already written in this support area please.Hi Jason,
In Numbers 3, you can select a whole table by clicking once in the table to make it active, then click once on the "bull's eye" at the top left.
Now copy and paste. All formatting (and any cell content) is pasted intact. In Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) it is a little different for selecting a whole table. But I won't go into that unless you are using Numbers '09. Please reply.
I don't like the look of the tables in Insert Table. I keep custom tables in My Templates. I have set Numbers > Preferences > General > For New Documents > Use template: (name of my favourite custom template)
That opens when I launch Numbers, or ask for a new document (command n). Note that if you follow this preference setting, then Menu > File > New From Template Chooser (for another template) requires you to hold down the option key in that menu.
Regards,
Ian.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop? I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files. I have to immediately move to trash all the duplications on my desktop. How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)? Thanks for your help!
What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
That's all I can think of. -

You're referring to the answer I provided here -- http://forums.adobe.com/message/5352087#5352087
I'm not quite sure I understand your question, but I'll give it a try.
To get to the page where you make the "always deny" setting change, simply click on this link: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
After the page comes up, you can do the following:
If all you want to do is deny sites from storing Flash content/information on your PC, then you're done. Simply exit the page by clicking on your home page, then close out the browser. When you re-open it, the new setting will be applied.

In mail, my attachments, both photos and documents, appear in the body of the message. How can I get my attachments to appear as a separate attachment and not as part of the main message???? Thanks for your help, Karen.

Yep! And if you absolutely need (or think you need) that functionality, it is worth every penny.
As Don already pointed out, exactly what the recipient sees will depend on how they've set up their machine and what unnecessary 3rd party apps they might've installed to display attachments the way they want.
In theory, that is true. In practice, Attachment Tamer will cause more of your messages to show up as plain-jane icons on the other end. The problem is, after all, people running Outlook 2003 and 2007. These people likely aren't doing many system modifications.
If I were you, I'd use the free solutions provided above, save my money and let my recipients decide how they will handle their mail.
I completely agree.
