Can photos be transferred back and forth from/to iPhoto and an external drive? If so, how?

When in iPhoto for iOS you can share your photo to iTunes and then connect your iPad to your computer and use the file sharing window to move the photo to any connected hard disk. Sharing to iTunes is the only way to maintain original file size when sharing a photo in iPhoto for iOS.

How to easily move files back and forth from MacBook Air to TB external drive

I have a MacBook Air with 128 GB Hard Drive. I need to easily PULL OFF MAC files and move to TB External Drive. I need to pull files off Mac as it runs out of space to operate the Mac. I can't do Apple Time as it backs up files, but does not pull off MAC and free space.

Make certain that the external drive is formatted so that you can read and write to it. Then connect it to the MBA and than drag and drop files from the MBA to the external HDD.
Ciao.

How do you attach multiple pictures to an email? I use yahoo, presently I copy and paste each pic separately , having to go back and forth from my pics and email. I know there's an easier way. I currently use an iPad 2 and this is my first apple product.

I currently use an iPad 2,how does one go about attaching multiple pictures to a yahoo email? Presently I am having to copy then paste each picture
Separately , going back and forth from my picture roll to my email. I tried to copy and paste multiple pictures but it would only paste the last picture
I copied. I am new to apple, so any help would be appreciated .

If you use the Mail App and configure a Yahoo account you can then select up to 5 pictures from the Photo App and mail them as a single e-mail.

My photos stopped transferring to my PC from my Iphone and Ipad

I went on Itunes and removed my Iphone from the list of devices on Itunes in the Cloud. Now I cant figure out how to add it back.
I'm trying to get my photos to transfer to my PC from my Iphone and Ipad, but they suddenly stopped transferring.

For the benefit of the other 3 people with this issue I've found my own answer.
I have read that both devices need to have at least 20% charge and both need to be connected to wifi.
Somehow it is only after retreading this several times over the course of a week that I actually check that "both" devices
are in fact on wifi. The iPhone was not on wifi but still connected to 3G. Simple as that. It's all working again.

Repair and retrieval from 40 GB GIGA One external drive

My iMac doesn't recognise the external HD anymore. When connected by USB, it appears in disk utility but action to "verify and repair disc" results in following message:
**/dev/disk 1s1
** Phase 1 - Read FAT
** Phase 2 - Check Cluster chains
** Phase 3 - Checking Directories
Unable to read directory (input/output error)
Error. The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 non HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of error
Can anyone give advice on how to retrieve the data from this portable HD which has always worked well in the past when connected to my iMac. It contains the only copies of the photographs from our recent visit to Japan. Very many thanks. Alan P

Hey Alan,
Try using Data Rescue 3:
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
There are other applications but this is the one I use. If the drive spins up I've always been able to retrieve data on corrupted hard drives.
You can request a demo version then you can try to find your pictures and if you do you can download 5 MB for free. So if it works you can buy the full up version for $149 but I also see it online for as low as $81.

I use my ipod for audible books downloads. In the past I have been able to move books back and forth from library to ipod according to what I was listening to. I can no longer retreive books in the library. Any suggestions?

I use my 6th generation Ipod strictly for Audible downloads. In the past, I have been able to move titles back and forth from the Ipod and my Itunes library, to control the amount books on the ipod. Recently, an exclamation mark has appeared next to the titles as I try to transfer to the ipod, and the book does not transfer. Any suggestions on how to regain access to my purchased library?

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

How can I switch back and forth from Classic to Tiger

How can I switch back and forth from OS9.2.2 to Tiger without restarting? I want Classic as my startup system.

I think that the number of clicks to open a file is a rather shortsighted way to compare two operating systems.<<</div>
Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse ME!
I happen to think it's a pain to click twice on files when I'm used to clicking just once.
But Tiger is a nice operating system. I enjoy that it has much more capabilities than the OS9. I mean, Tiger keeps up with the advancing internet. My beef is really against OS9. I can open OS9 in Tiger but not Tiger in OS9.

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly it and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be pl

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey.
example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive) the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
but that is very occasionally, most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed , I don't know how that effects qt.
qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)
I have gone to VLC and MPlayerX for direct playback for drones and cameras.

Can I back up stored docs, emails and notes from my iPad -- and not just music and photo's, etc?

Can I back up stored docs, emails and notes from my iPad -- and not just music and photo's, etc?
I see how I can store the latter -- but not the former. And I don't care whether it's to the cloud or to a hard drive, etc.
Thanks!

If you are using iCloud, you don't need to back up these items because they are synced with your iCloud account.

Transferring back-and-forth from home and work

I need to transfer my Mail and Address book back-and-forth from home to work.
1. Which files do I export from home?
2. Where is it imported into work?
3. Are there any known issues with the database files becoming corrupt from going back-and-forth like this?
Thanks.

what os are both macs running on?
i would suggest you look at www.mac.com, the .mac service, if you want to sync various data between two macs - works with tiger and leopard os, but not panther.
manually moving folders may be cumbersome and end up with unintended consequences, as in human error or other glitches.
nonethless the folders that contain data for both mail and ab are respectively homefolder/library/mail and homefolder/library/mail downloads for mail and homefolder/library/application support/address book for ab.
you will also have to copy the com.apple.mail.plist and com.apple.mail.searchhistory.plist - for mail - and the com.apple.addressbook.abd.plist and the com.apple.addressbook.plist files - for ab - all four located in homefolder/library/preferences.
hope this helps

HT201077 I accidentally grabed my My Photo Stream from My Pictures & transfered it to a FOB. Now I can't view any of the pictures from my phone & I cant up load any. How do I fix this?

I accidentally grabed my My Photo Stream from My Pictures & transfered it to a FOB. I put it back as soon as I realized. Now I can't view any of the pictures from my phone & I cant up load any. How do I fix this?

Thanks, Eric. I'm not sure what I should be checking using your suggestion--as I said, I'm an utter novice with the iMac. However, I saw a reference to problems with the Library entries, so I checked mine and the iWork files were missing, something confirmed when I checked the crash log. In desperation, I did another software update, and that seems to have fixed the problem completely. Now wondering if I dare upgrade to Lion!

Can you move files back and forth between an iPad and a PC using iTunes?

If I read this article correctly, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094 I should be able to connect my iPad to my PC, fire up iTunes and then on the Apps tab in iTunes I should be able to click on an app, Pages for example and then just drag files onto the Pages Documents column from a Windows Explorer window.
This is great. I was hoping to use DropBox but it is such a hassle I don't know why people are so thrilled with DropBox on iPad. If I can just move files back and forth using iTunes that should be fairly easy. I wish there was a way to just upload my files to iCloud from my PC but the iCloud control panel app for Windows only seems to connect Outlook, Photostream and Bookmarks. I want to be able to just carry my iPad and not have to deal with a computer.
I thought that they said that you didn't need to have a computer to have an iPad. I guess if you have a computer and then GET an iPad its a different story, unless you have a Mac of course.
Anyway my question is: can you move files back and forth between a PC and an iPad using just iTunes?

I still need to do some trial and error testing with DropBox and my iPad. But can I link my iPad to my DropBox account so that I can always see the files on DropBox when I open Pages on my iPad? I just want one place to store my documents, and iCloud doesn't seem to be up to the task when it comes to opening a fil;e, editing it and then saving it back to iCloud. I just want a networked storage location that works like a networked drive on my LAN.
I realize that hollywood and the music industry are up in arms about file sharing on the Cloud which is why so many things are made more difficult than they need to be.

Once bootcamp is installed on my Mac, how easy is it to go back and forth from windows to Mac? Just a press of button or do I have to completely log off of one to go to the other?

Once bootcamp is installed on my Mac, how easy is it to go back and forth from windows to Mac? Just a press of button or do I have to completely log off of one to go to the other?

Using vitual machine programs (VirtualBox, Parallels, VMWare Fusion) you can run both at the same time.
Load Windows under BootCamp. Then load the VM software and select the existing BootCamp partition as the "virtualized space".
But ... BootCamp first, following Csound1's advice about backups. And you will wantto boost RAM most likely because you need to allocate certain amount of system RAM to each "virtual machine", as well as leaving some for OSX.
But ... BootCamp first.
