Can you save ibooks contents to external hard drive

Hi, can you save the contents of ibook (or Ibooks) to an external hard drive. Any help would be good. Many thanks

Not like you can with iTunes, if that is what you mean. But you can simply drag-n-drop the eBook from iBooks to the external HDD.

    The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

  • Can I save files to the external hard drive if I am time machinging to that hard drive?  Not while time machine is doing it's thing of course, but any other time.

    I have a 2 TB Toshiba external hard drive that I want to save files to and also time machine to it (is that called making it a time capsule?).  I want to know if this is possible before I reformat the drive to the 'journaled' format to make it usable for time machining.  And if it is possible, how do I do it?  Just save/transfer stuff to the external hard drive like I normally would or do I have to di something different?  I just can't afford to have all 77 GB of my pictures on my internal hard drive anymore.
    Also, I am mainly trying to set up time machine so I can have a backup before I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks.
    Thank you!

    Time capsule is an Apple product, a combination router/HD specific for wireless TimeMachine.
    You can use Ext HD for saving files to etc as well
    Time Machine needs it own partition and needs to be the first partition on the Harddrive.

  • How can you upload music from PC external hard drive to iPad 2?

    I recently got an iPad2 to replace a netbook that was stolen. I have all my music stored on an external hard drive and was wondering what is an easy way to upload it to either the iPad itself or to the iCloud? Also is there someway to connect an iPod Classic to the iPad to share/transfer music?
    Brian

    You are going to need to route that music thru I tunes, then sync it down.  There is not easy way to connect a drive with music to a pad.  Same answer with the pod.  You need iTunes to act as the traffic cop between the devices.
    If the music was in the cloud, you can get it down, but there is no way to get it up without syncing thru I tunes.

  • Can You store Itunes on an external hard drive

    I have a very old computer that has limited storage. I would like to put my itunes library on my external hard drive. Is this possible? If so how would I go about doing this? thanks

    Yes, it's fairly easy.
    First, assign the exHD to a drive letter that is far enough down in the alphabet that no other device will ever use it. M: for Media might make sense. Use windows device manager to do this.
    Then, tell itunes the location of FUTURE additions to its library by going into itunes menu > edit > preferences advanced. Tell it to use a folderon the M: drive.
    That will take care of FUTURE additions.
    To move EXISTING content to the M: drive without itunes losing their place, run the itunes menu > file > library > organize > consolidate command.
    Remember, after you do this move, ALWAYS have the exHD plugged in and operational BEFORE you start itunes.

  • Can you help me with my External Hard Drive?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm having a big problem with my external hard drives. Firstly, I'll give you all the information I think you might need-
    * I'm running on Mac OSX 10.4.11.
    * I have the most recent release 13" Macbook and it has plenty of memory left.
    * Both my EHD's are made by LACIE. One is 250GB (18 months old) and the other 500GB (2 weeks old).
    * Both work perfectly on every other computer I've tried - (2 Macs and 2 Windows).
    * Both are formatted as FAT32 because I need to use them on Mac at home and Windows at work.
    Now, the problem is every time I mount one of the EHDs on my laptop, they show up on the desktop but when double clicked (or Apple + O 'ed) they cause Finder to have a spaz, with the top white bar disappearing along with everything on my desktop (for about 2s).
    What I have *tried so far*-
    * Mounting and unmounting the EHDs.
    * Turning on and off both EHDs.
    * Plugging them in one at a time.
    * Restarting the Macbook and plugging them in after it has fully loaded.
    * Restarting the Macbook and plugging them in as it loads.
    * Creating a new user account to open them in.
    * Verifying both EHDs using Disk Utility - both claim to be working properly.
    * That trick where you take out the battery and power source, hold down the On button for 5s, then hold Apple + P + R + Option while the Macbook turns back on.
    None of these have worked so far. Please help!
    Thank you so much in advance,
    Joe

    Have you tried opening them in a Finder window? Also, you might boot to your Install DVD and launch Disc Utility to verify and repair both permissions and your drive.
    Sounds strange. I also have the Lacie 500G - partitioned, but with one being FAT 32 ...works fine for me.

  • How do I tell my Mac to automatically save files to an external hard drive instead of the on-board storage?

    My question is: how do I make my Mac save file automatically to my external hard drive? I don't want to have a bunch of storage on my computer taken up because I can't save it to my external hard drive. I have an early 2014 MacBook Air 13.3" 128GB hard drive. As you can see I don't have a whole lot of space for files. I would prefer for them to be on the external hard drive.Thanks,

    Many applications will remember the last saved folder but some like Microsoft Word will allow you to set a default location.
    There is a third party app that you might want to check out called DefaultFolder X. You can set a default folder per application with this app. Has a 30 day demo.
    http://www.stclairsoft.com/DefaultFolderX/
    Users with the small drives often put their iPhoto & iTunes Libraries on the external. You can then set the applications to look at the library on the external drive.
    Hope this helps!

  • I need to get a file out of my documents to a colleague but can't email or save it to an external hard drive....what do I do??

    I saved a document on my MacBook Air and need to save it to an external hard drive. I've also tried emailing the document, but it was not successful. I need to get this document to a colleague ASAP but cannot get it out of my documents. Please help!!

    I tried dragging and dropping but it won't do it (or to a USB thumb drive). I was finally able to email it, but I still need to get it to my external hard drive. Think I will be taking it to an apple store. Thanks for the help!

  • How do you transfer info from an external hard drive from a PC to a Mac

    How do you transfer info from a external hard drive from a pc to a imac?

    Expanding on what Niel said, a Mac can mount and read just about any hard drive from a Windows system. It can't write to an NTFS-formatted drive without third-party drivers, but it can read them. So as Niel indicated, you should be able to just connect the drive to your Mac and drag-copy over whatever you want. If you want to save things from the Mac to that drive, then it will need to be formatted either as FAT32 or exFAT, or if it's NFTS you'll again need drivers.
    Regards.

  • Logic's 'Additional Content' to external hard drive?

    'Additional Content' to external hard drive, is it possible? Will I have an option somewhere to put all the samples and presets somewhere other than my internal drive?

    I got it working with symbolic link.
    It's very easy and this is how I did it:
    1. Download this for free:
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/10433/symboliclinker
    2. Copy original 'Logic' Folder located in /Volumes/"DRIVE NAME"/Application Support/ on the desired external drive and location.This is the location where all your additional content is beeing installed to.
    3. You can delete the original folder or rename it and use it as a backup.
    4. Use the symbolic link tool to create a symbolic link from the 'Logic' file which has been copied to your external drive.
    Place the link (which looks like an alias) to its previous destination (/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Application Support/) and rename it to 'Logic'.
    5. After this you will be able to download additional content.
    6. Be aware if you want to download 30 GB of content and your SSD has just 20GB free space, it will show you the same error message because it stores the download file still on your SSD until installation is done. The solution for this is to download everything part by part.
    Maybe there is a simpler solution. This was very quick and easy for me. Logic 9 and 10 both work still.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1660 I have two iTunes libraries on two different pc's (one windows and one Mac).  Can I consolidate these on an external hard drive?

    I have two iTunes libraries on two different pc's (one windows and one Mac).  Can I consolidate these on an external hard drive?

    I'm sorry I just saw the last post. I had two users on my hard drive, one for me and one for my daughter, but I am not sure what you mean by partioning my external????? I have heard the term before, but don't know how to do it. I am having serious crashing issues with this computer and believe I really need to do a clean install. I just want to make sure everything for both ipods is safe (is???? I think so, everything is......I hate when the English language does this to me!)

    Hello Ian. I am currently using Lion installed on a WD My Passport 500Gig drive connected to my MBPro via USB, which is still running 10.6.8. Like you I am not prepared to lose all my currently functioning Mac, but also like to see how the new OS runs before making the total switch, maybe when it gets to 10.7.2
    So after you download Lion and select to run the installer it will show you which disk to install on, being the default SL drive you downloaded Lion with. But here you can click Other Disk and select the external HD. The installer will run and then boot into the external drive to complete the installation. From then on you can use Startup Disk or the Option key to select the preferred OS.

  • Can Time Capsule support an additional external hard drive?

    A friend of mine is using Airport Extreme and has both his printer and external hard drive hooked through it accessing both wirelessly. The Apple site says this works great with Extreme but does not say you can do the same thing with Time Capsule. I called our local store and she wasn't sure. Both Extreme and Time Capsule have one USB port so no matter what, you have to split the USB(I know this works with Extreme). All my music is on an additional hard drive and it would be great if I could access it wirelessly. If anyone has done this with time capsule please let me know. I want to purchase it but if not I will go with Extreme.

    Can Time Capsule support an additional external hard drive?
    Yes.

  • Brand new to forum.  Can a Maxtor IV One Touch external hard drive previously used on a PC be formatted to work with my Mac Pro OSX  version 10.6.8?

    I've never participated in a forum before; so, please let me know if I'm going about it wrong.
    My question is this:  Can a Maxtor One Touch 4 external hard drive that was previously used on a PC be set up for use on my Mac Pro?  I'm preparing to upgrade the Mac to the most recent software version and it was suggested I back everything up first.
    I reformatted the hard drive so it is currently empty.  There are icons on my Mac desktop for One Touch 4 and Maxtor Manager but other than that nothing appears to be working.  There are no drives showing in the Maxtor Manager so I suspect that's where I need to start.  However, I don't know enough about what I'm doing to move ahead on my own and I don't want to screw anything up.  If anyone knows the steps I should take next, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you.

    I am embarrassed how simple that was.  I did warn you that I'm technologically challenged; I'm pretty sure that proved it.
    The external hard drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The link you provided indicates the external drive will work with Time Machine.  I've never worked with Time Machine and don't know what my next step should be.  Would you please walk me through it?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.  From the points you have accumulated, I can tell you have helped many others and I thank you for your generosity.
