Compress command, can I change the destination for the ".zip" file?

I cannot find a "User's Manual" for my OS 10.5.8. Hence my question. I have used up all but 1% of my hard disc space. Now I wish to compress and backup my iPhoto files (44Gb) specifying (?sp) my backup drive as the destination for the compressed file. I wish to compress directly to the Seagate (?) firewire drive but I see no way to set the destination drive. Is that possible to do?
Thanks,
HBear Messec

You cannot do that using the built-in archiving utility. Archiving such a large folder is not a great idea. You have a backup drive so I suggest you copy the folder directly to the backup drive. I also suggest doing this with a backup utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Here's a useful rule of thumb. The amount of free space on your system volume should be 15 GBs or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater. You have too little free space. There's great risk of severe directory and/or file corruption.

Can't change DVD region for the last time?

I wish to change the DVD region setting on my emac and have one more left from the 5 changes allowed but when I try to change it, it comes up with an alert along the lines of "There was a problem changing the region on your drive." How can I resolve this? It is a newish 1.25ghz Superdrive model.
PS. Someone commented here that perhaps the count of how many changes have occurred is incorrect? If so, how can I fix that? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2279627&#2279627
Also, the error doesn't seem to suggest I need to use a single-region DVD to set the new region as per here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=31304

I also am having this problem, was told to restart and hold down Alt Apple, P & R at the same time and wait for 3 dongs, and try to change region again, but did not work, I am stuck on region 1 need to change to region 2, the same problem it will be the last change.

If not then you might be better off asking in the iTunes For Windows forum, you may be more likely to get better help there.

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

Moving the iOS device backup location
Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

I don't know the password for the SMTP account so as to mail photos. How can I retrieve or change the password?

I am unable to share photos from the Iphoto program because I don't know the password for the SMTP account. How can I either retrieve or change that password? Or is it one I already should know?

Have you set the general preferences in iPhoto to email using iPhoto? Then change it to email using "Mail". This way iPhoto will use your regular Mail account.

I signed up for my apple account while living in Canada, and now I lives in the US. I am looking for a specific app that apparently is only available through the US app store. How can I change my account to the US Apple Store?

As long as you have a form of payment (credit or debit card) with a USA source, and with a billing address in the USA, then you just need to change your payment information on your account to that, change your country in the store settings, and you will then be able to shop in the USA store.
Your AppleID will work in any country's store, as long as your payment source and billing addres are also specific to that country (and you are in that country as well, as there may be IP filters in place to stop use outside of the country).

You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier. Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security. If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.

Hi,
Assuming that User has already his/her user-id and password, and now he/ she wants to change it.
select the client and provide Log-in credentials. Now, instead of 'ENTER' there is one Tab: 'New Password' (up, left hand). Click it.
Now, system will ask for new password to change.
If you are asking from Basis point of view, then T.code: SU01 - User Maintenance.
Enter User's id and Click Change icon.
It will lead to Page: Maintain User.
Here, Select tab: Logon Data
There is a Sub-Tab: Password.
Here, key-in change password and SAVE.
For Language and Date format, contact your Basis-Personnel.
Best regards,
Amit
