Can I have different Libraries on my internal HD and an External HD?

I'm out of internal HD space and need to move most of my Photos/Events to a different iPhoto Library on an external HD. From the discussions (and the Fat Cat site) it appears that Fat Cat's iPhoto Library Manager may allow me to do this - is this correct? Any other suggestions?

Yes - or you can simply copy the iPhoto library to the external drive and switch between libraries by depressing the option key, launching iPhoto and using the select library option - once the library is safely on the external and tested you can delete photos form the one on the internal drive leaving only the ones you want - not that doing it in smaller batches of 100 or so gives the best results

Can I have different Mail behaviour & Rules on iPhone and Desktop

First
I have a series of POP accounts. No, I am not able to switch to IMAP.
I have a Mac laptop running the Mail client and I have an iPhone. I wish to have my Mac see and download ALL email. What is happening is if my iPhone gets to it first, and I think if i read it first, the Mail client does not even BOTHER to download it.
How can I make it so that the Mail client downloads emails read elsewhere?
Second,
I do not want my iPhone to clutter up the inbox with some subscriber list stuff.
Is it possible to have rules so that the iPhone will ignore certain emails but without having those rules apply to my Mail client on my Mac?
Thanks in advance

The options to remove messages from the server after being downloaded with a POP with the iPhone's Mail client is as follows:
Never
After 7 Days
When removed from Inbox
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is from the dark ages with computing and exchanging email and is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. This is the nature and design of a POP account. One of the potential problems when accessing a POP account with more than one email client is only one email client at a time can check the incoming mail server for new messages and/or download new messages from the server. When a 2nd email client attempts to do this while another email client is doing the same, the incoming mail server will temporarily lock out the 2nd email client.
Not a problem with an IMAP account which is specifically designed for this very thing along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
I leave the Mail.app on my Mac launched and running actively checking my IMAP account for new messages while I do the same with my iPhone. Anything done by the Mail.app's junk mail filter and any Mail.app rules in effect to sort recieved messages by category to user created server stored mailboxes is reflected automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail client.
None of this is possible with a POP account which is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
The iPhone is an extension for your computer, not a replacement for and Apple can't change the industry design for a POP account.

How can I have separate Libraries in iTunes for my Children?

Hi all,
I have bought my children iPod Touch devices for Christmas this year and would like to set up accounts and libraries for each of them (3 in total, one for the Mrs!) so I can sync them and put some games and apps on ready for use.
Is it possible to have multiple Libraries on one computer? I know I can open iTunes accounts for each of them but they're not at that stage yet but will - at some point - require different games, apps and whatnot.
I'm sure a friend of mine has a different iTunes library for him and his wife on the same computer and they don't have any sync'ing problems at all...
I hope someone can help!
Dave.

You can likely set up different user accounts on the computer and have a library in each account. I use a Mac so I can't be more specific on user accounts on Windows.
Alternatively you can set up different libraries inside a single user account. I'ts a bit cumbersome switching between them though. You can create and switch betwween libraries by holding down the shift key while starting iTunes, then guide it to the library you wish to use.
Another possibility would be to sync just playlists, not everything. While there are ways to share items between libraries using other methods, this one has the advantage that all the things are in one library and each person makes their selection.

As for AppleID and accounts, you might consider setting up sooner rather than later. The main problem with Apple purchases is you cannot transfer them between accounts. If you give a child a song for a birthday and purchase it on your account, it is forever tied to your account. If in 10 years your child wants to take with them to college you'll have to give them access to your whole account or always be authorizing their devices which you may not wish to do.

I have an IMAC and I'm running OSX 10.9.2. I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive. In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives. Is this possible? Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?

I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.
That is fine and recommended.. use the fastest disk you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2.
In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.
Let me be clear.. you want to partition the one disk.. use it for TM and move your files to the external disk.. and then backup to the same disk.. You can do it.. but that is not a backup.. that is an experiment in how long you can get away with running files and backups on the same disk before you lose everything.. like Russian Roulette.. pull the trigger enough times and laws of probability will do you in.
You must have backups on a different disk .. otherwise it is pointless.
Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
No.. you can buy special USB and Thunderbolt external drives that support RAID..
BUT that is still not a backup.. let me show why.. you make a silly move and corrupt your file in aperture.. it is not that rare.
Raid will corrupt all copies of the files.. it is replicated across all disks.
Delete a photo it is deleted across all disks.. you have no recovery.
Alway, always consider RAID system one disk.. backup onto another disk.. and if the photos or movies are at all important to you.. ie your family .. make another copy and store in a relatives house.. There is no such thing as too much redundancy.

thank you for your reply, it is not very fair from apple, since for not using your credit card, you need to create a new account and if you do not have multiple e-mail working , you are stuck! thanks anyway

You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

HT204053 I have an iphone, ipod and ipad - can i have different icloud accounts?

My daughter has an iphone, my other one has an ipod and I have an ipad. How can we have different icloud accounts?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes you can all have different iCloud accounts, indeed it is something that I would recommend.
To create a new Apple ID (account) navigate to settings >iCloud and tap the "create Apple ID" button.
Note: if you are already logged into another iCloud account, you will need to scroll down and delete that account, before you can create a new one.

Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account?

Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account? My family shares one I tunes account but it would be nice to be able to have a different I cloud for family member. Is there a way to do this. Because the I cloud part on the setting on the phone and I pad are greyed out on the phones so you can't change the user.

If they are greyed out then usually this means that the account is not validated on that device. The Delete Account button at the bottom should still work and allow you to remove the current account form the iCloud Section of Settings.
To answer your question, yes. There are four places you can use an Apple ID on an iOS device:
Settings > iCloud
Settings > Messages
Settings > FaceTime
Settings > iTunes & App Stores
The iTunes & App Stores is the only one you want to use a shared (family) Apple ID account. The other three you will want a unique Apple ID for that person to prevent info merging or messages getting shared, etc.

The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list. It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it. You need to add a few names.

I have an iMac with 2 internal drives and set-up with multiple user accounts. How do I create a path to store data files on my second drive within an application?

I have an iMac with 2 internal drives and a multiple user account set-up. Hw do I create a path to store data files on the second drive within an application?

This is the Mac mini forum not the iMac forum however...
Applications written for average users like Photoshop, Word, i.e. GUI based applications provide a 'Save' dialog box which while allow selecting second drives or any drive. The dialob box initially shown might be in the simple mode but you just need to click on the triangle to show the full set of options. You should then see the different drive names amongst other options.
If your referring to an application your writing yourself then you need to build a pathname. This can be in one of two styles depending on the programming system your using. This could be a POSIX style path or a Mac style path.
POSIX = /Volumes/volname/foldername
Mac style = Volname:foldername:
