Can I put Keynote (or any iWork) with or without OS X on a flash-drive...

Can I put Keynote (or any iWork) with or without OS X on a flash-drive and then plug and play that from a PC? I need to do a powerpoint style presentation and would like to use Keynote.
Is it possible to bring everything I need on a flash-drive and make it work through a normal PC that the classroom provides to run these presentations on a big screen?
Thanks!

no. you can certainly not put just a few iwork apps on the flash drive. you can install the whole OS X on such a drive if it's big enough but it will absolutely not run on a PC. it will only run on a mac.

in my experience all such classrooms allow you to plug in your own laptop and give a presentation from it. that would be the only way to run keynote there - by bringing your own mac laptop and plugging it in.
Thanks!

I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive. Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!!

I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive. Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!! I just want a back up - using a work PC and don't want others accessing my songs. Hope someone can help. Thanks!

I see. To get a better idea of what is being stored where please download and run the script iTunesInfo which should output something like this:
I'm interested in the block of 4 results starting ITL location. If your profile name shows up somewhere replace it with <Name>. It is also worth checking under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to see where iTunes thinks your media is supposed to go. My script estimates the setting based on the location of the first media file it can actually find.

Can I charge Nano on any PC over USB, without iTunes sync?

Can I just plug the ipod into any PC with the usb cord, to get a charge? My work PC will not allow me to install itunes.
thanks

Yes, you can. Any computer with a USB port can be used to charge an iPod, with or without iTunes. Just be careful to use the Safely remove Hardware icon or one of the non iTunes methods to eject the iPod that you'll find in this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

Import photos without copying? I Have thousands of photos on a hard drive separate from my mac and i dont have enough space on my mac to copy them to. Any way to import without copying to the local hard drive?

Import photos without copying? I Have thousands of photos on a hard drive separate from my mac and i dont have enough space on my mac to copy them to. Any way to import without copying to the local hard drive?

Yes, but you might want to think carefully about it.
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
This is an attractive option for some users at face value, but it contains a significant number of issues that you might want to consider before making the decision to run a Referenced Library
How to do it:
iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck the box at 'Copy items to the iPhoto Library'
Now when you import iPhoto makes an alias in the Library Package that points to the stored file. Note: iPhoto still creates a thumbnail of the image and it makes a Preview of edited photos inside the Library Package.
Issues?
1. You are responsible for file management. That's more work:
You must first move the files from your camera to the storage location before importing.
If you want to delete files then you must first trash them from iPhoto and then afterwards find them in your storage and trash them.
Thereafter, you cannot move the files on early versions of iPhoto at all, on iPhoto 08 and later you may move them on the same Volume or Disk. If you move them to a new volume or disk the aliases my break. If they are on an different volume and you move them the aliases will break.
You cannot rename the files.
Migrating: moving to a new machine, moving the files to another disk are all a lot more complex.
2. You gain no extra functionality from running a Referenced Library. Nothing. This is just storage. You still manage the files via iPhoto. You edit them with iPhoto or via iPhoto's External Editor setting, otherwise you're changes will not be available in iPhoto. You don't save byte of storage space.
3. If you have the Library on one volume and the photos on another you if anything changes in the path to a file (Like if you upgrade your machine, move the files on the NAS or on to another one?) then the alias will break, and you'll have to repair it manually. For every photo in the Library. One at a time.
Why do you want to run a Referenced Library?
Because my photos won't fit on my HD?
You can run a Managed library from an external disk. Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
You're worried about accessing the files?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Can't install Keynote 2012 over iWork 2009

Hi guys,
I'm an «historical» user of iWorks 2009. I would like to upgrade the Keynote program alone but when I try to buy it from the App Store it refuses to install claiming that «An older version of Keynote is already present» and suggesting me «to go trhough the "update software" service» to get the new version.
As you can guess… the update service doesn't propose any upgrade.
I've tried to manually delete the Keynote'09 from the App Folder but the App Installer stil claims about the presence of the predecessor.
So, the question is: how can I upgrade just Keynote to the last version? without touching Pages and Numbers?
I would precise that I bought iWorks before Apple lanched the App Store for Mac applications.
Thanks folks…

There is no "Keynote 2012". The Keynote standalone app that is now available in the Mac App Store is the same as the one that came on the iWork '09 install disc, it's just been (very slightly) updated for Mountain Lion and iCloud compatibility.
If you have been doing your software updates, your existing (that is, before you deleted it) version of Keynote should have received the incremental updates over the years. You could confirm this by looking at the actual version number of Keynote in the MAS (v. 5.2) and the one on your hard drive (select it in the Applications/iWork/ folder and do a Get Info by pressing Command-I).
As for when we might ever see a Keynote '12... or '13... or '14... frankly, I've stopped holding my breath....

How can I put music on my Ipod with Itunes 11.0

I don't get how I am supposed to put music on my ipod with the new version of Itunes 11.0

In itunes go to the "View" pull down menu and select "Show Sidebar" and you can then access your music and device the same way you used to be able to ~ just drag and drop to devices, or access your music list (by "songs" in the top centre and then by name/artist/album/etc! Yay

You misunderstand the memory management scheme and misinterpret the display you're seeing.
To start with, free memory is wasted memory. Once some disk contents have been brought in, it is wasteful to discard that data just to make the RAM that it occupied "free." Inactive memory is memory that is not currently used, can be given to an application that needs it without doing any disk I/O (or used as a destination for reading disk content) but which currently holds disk data that might be useful in the future. I.e., it's file content of some sort.
To get a better idea of how Mac OS X manages RAM and how to interpret the Activity Monitory dispaly, see this tech note: Mac OS X: Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor.
Rosetta is indeed memory hungry, but it's an interim solution. With 2 GB of RAM installed, you can run a lot of applications with alacrity.
Lastly, your Safari, an Intel-native application, is currently using 2 GB. This is a known issue with Safari, though it seems to me that it has gotten better since 2.0.3 was released in 10.4.6. Still, it's a bit of a memory hog, to be sure. Now that Firefox, Camino and Seamonkey are all available in Universal (Intel native) forms, you have alternatives. Firefox seems a lot more parsimonious when it comes to RAM.

Can I buy an iPad from Colombia with 4G without making a contract with AT

Hello, I'm from Colombia, in recent days I have been thinking seriously in getting a last generation iPad; as I have read it is much better to get it with 4G even though the 4G LTE network is not available in my country. If I buy it, I will buy it online with a bank who establishes an international cashier and bring the merchandise over here; now my question is, Can I buy the mentioned iPad (Wi-Fi + 4G) without having to make a contract with AT&T or Verizon, just buy it without contracts, or Do I have to contract the service and cancel it as soon as I have my iPad as mentioned one can do, in the information page in the apple page? Please, I need an answer, I want an iPad with 4G network availability without contract with an american cellphone company as I do not live in there, but at the same time I want to buy it online because it is cheaper than buying it from a mac store from here.
Beforehand,
Thank you very much.

The iPad is not sold in the US, or in most countries, with carrier subsidies, so almost all purchases of an iPad are at "full price". Nor will Apple Stores nor any authorized Apple dealer ship to an address outside of the country in which the store is authorized to sell, international credit card or not. Unless JulSolid travels to another country, has someone in another country who can make the purchase, or is willing to buy from some unauthorized source, then he/she will probably have to purchase in Colombia regardless of pricing there.
Regards.

Issues with exporting video from MacBook Pro to flash drive

I cannot sucessfully transfer [export] video taken on my gopro camera, from my MacBook Pro to any flash drive and play them on other computers. For some reason the files are not playable, even with quicktime. They will not play with ANY of my video softwares such as divx or any AVCHD software on a windows computer. I need to make a presentation for a club trip in a few days! Can any one please suggest what is wrong? They play on the Mac using Flip player but not quicktime!
Oh, and I don't have issues with transfering or exporting Jpegs or other photo formats. Only video.

hmmm.. the files from GoPro are already mp4 format. The Flash is already FAT32, brand new 16gig...
I am new to Macs but have no problems with PC's. I suspect that because the files are exporting as shadowed files which won't play and are very small kb files, yet they are actually in excess of 140 mb each that it might have something to do with the iphoto software? That's where the pics and video are, they imported to there by default, not to a folder in the home folder [which is where I would have expected them to be]
By the way, the GoPro is already in mp4 format so it is easy when transferring to computers. No need to convert. I tried converting them to see what the outcome might be, and none worked! I tried every format I could find using Video converter ultimate software, which is excellent.
And the problems began when quicktime wouldnt play the file, the screen was black.

PROBLEM WITH COPYING ITEMS ONTO MACBOOK AIR VIA FLASH DRIVE

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS MACBOOK AIR AND I'M ALREADY HAVING TROUBLE MOVING/COPYING ITEMS FROM A FLASH DRIVE ONTO THE MACBOOK. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!! THANK YOU!

I'm sorry about the caps. I realized that I was typing with my caps lock on, and was too lazy to rewrite this. The thing is that when I try to copy pictures, videos, and music onto my macbook via flash drive, it says it's copying but then when it's finished, the library goes blank. There's no error message with it; my folder goes completely blank.
