Computer HD full. want to move stuff and back up

My Hd (250G) on my computer is just about full. I purchased a 1TB WD hard drive the question is.
1- I would like to move some stuff to the external to create some room on my computer
2+ I would also like to use time machine for daily back ups.
can I just drag the stuff I want to move on to the external and then start time machine or do I need to partition the HD?

I highly recommend partitioning your 1TB drive for timemachine. Allocate about 150-250 gigs for time machine then use the rest for any data you wish to move over. I currently have several dives on my iMac configured in the following way.
Western Digital My Book 500gb USB. This is my main "over flow" storage drive. (Note my internal drive (250 gb) contains "working" or "live" copies of all my data and all of my apps as well as a bootcamp partition running XP Pro)
My second drive is a Maxtor 1 touch 4 plus 750 gb Firewire 400 drive. On this drive I have partitioned 150 gigs exclusively for time machine, the balance of the drive houses all of my photos and data archives.
My third drive is a 1tb Seagate Free Agent Pro using firewire 400 that is daisy chained to my Maxtor drive. On this drive I have a 250 gb partition that I have cloned my internal hard drive onto so it is a bootable drive if I run into any major issues like a kernel panic that is not repairable. The balance of that drive is a back up of my XP Partition and the WD My Book.

Want to move Itunes and Ipod to other Mavc

Hi
I Love my Macbook pro, but I'm filling it to the brim with stuff for my 80G Ipod. I need to get back the space.
I have a nice G5 with a lot of hard drive space, I use it just to make DVD's of home movies. I originally stored songs on the laptop, because when I travelled I wanted my music library. Then I got my Ipod, so thats not neccessary. The Library could stay at home.
The content I want to move is all MP3's ripped from my own CD library, and some podcasts, and a few IPOD games.
I do have external USB drives I could use.
Thank you,
Joe

System drive full want to move files to another internal drive

my sysytem drive is almost full it is only 52gb I have another internal drive that to 100gb and I want to move everything to that drive. I kow that I can do this by making a disk image of the system disk. however I need a bootable cd, which I donot have. can i use another mechine to boot with and make the disk image that way? if so how?
thanks

MDD G4s have room for four drives on two IDE buses (plus two optical bays). No reason to go through the disk image intermediate step that I can see though. Just use Disk Utility -> Restore to move or clone everything over. Or you can do same with CCC, or SuperDuper. Lots of ways.
No need for bootable CD (and CD is rather small) and while BootCD worked with Panther, no version is out for Tiger.
You can just boot from your Tiger DVD and use Disk Utility from there.
When copying between drives, it is a lot faster to copy from/to different IDE buses. If your OEM boot drive is in the ATA/100 cage on the right (in front of cpus) then copy to the ATA/66 bus on the left. You might want to zero the drive or test your 100GB (odd number, that, I have seen 80 and 120, but 100GB?).
If you don't have OS X CD/DVD, then I would suggest buying a retail 10.4.6 DVD now.

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

HP SimpleSave drive full, want to format drive and start over

I have a HP SimpleSave 320GB that is full. Running Windows 7 I want to remove everything and start over. How do I do that? Also all I want to put back on the drive is pictures. How do I set it up to do that? Thanks

I got this topic on a search, and it is just the right question: How to start over with hp simple save. Where are the answers? I am afraid of doing the wrong thing, but I only have two tools: format and reinstall. Western Digital seems to have something for this, but I cannot get into the site.

I have about 200 pics that I downloaded onto my iPad 2 from a folder on my computer that crashed recently. How do I update and back up my iPad without losing those pics? Pics of my 4 beautiful kids... do not want to lose these!

What would you have done if you didn't have an iPad?
Photos on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. The iPad is not designed to intended to be a backup storage device.
The transfer of photos from a computer to an iOS device via the iTunes sync process is a one way transfer only - from the computer to the device. Photos are optimized for viewing on the device the photos are being transferred to - the original resolution of the photos is changed, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
There are some 3rd party paid utilities that support transferring these photos in the opposite direction.

Please help! I do not see the songs on my iphone when it's connected to my computer . I want to transfer the songs back / forth. thanks in advance.

iOS 7.1 update requires approximately 350MB's of storage space.
Tap Settings > General > About > Available to see free storage space.
Very important to never allow the free storage space to fall below at the very least 500MB's or your iPhone may not boot.
You need to free up storage space on your iPhone for future updates as well.

C drive full - want to move itunes to D drive

Hi,
my daughters C drive on her laptop is nearly full (only 5gb free). She would like to move her itunes library to the D drive, which is still practically empty.
Can anyone please advise how to go about moving her itunes from C to D drive, as seamlessly as possible.
We are depending on you geniuses out there.
Thanks

I just moved my entire music folder to my c drive from my external using apples recommended method and this one worked much better. (thank you)Instead of just importing the xml file and the itl file, I moved the entire folder previously and even though I kept setting the itunes new location, as soon as the external drive was removed the tunes were not found. By coping the *.itl file and the *.xml file to the itunes folder ie; my music\itunes music folder
itunes actually found all the music and re-pointed to it using your hold down the shift key method. I renamed the previous itl and xml files to bakitl and bakitl just incase I wanted to revert. Thanks again for tip. cc

How to master reset my computer if I wanted to sell it and if I downloaded OS X 10.8.2, how do I re-install it?

I want to sell my 2010 Macbook Pro so I could afford to buy the new Macbook Pro with Retina display. How do I get it ready to sell? Also, I am getting nervous because my computer is going really slow and it's freezing. I already verified the disks, cleared out my files, trash, and also erased all my history and cookies and such. It is making me nervous, what should I do?
Also, I downloaded the new software, I bought it online through Apple, how do I re-install it onto the master resetted computer?

If you are going to sell your MBP, you should install the OS that it came with. I suspect that would be Snow Leopard in your case. Insert the original Install disk and when you get to the step where you see the menu bar on top, click on Utilities. From the drop down menu select Disk Utility>Erase and erase the HDD. Then continue the install until it is completed.
Ciao.

ITunes move to external hd fail, want to move it all back

Tried moving itunes to ext hard drive using Apple directions. Didn't work. iTunes library files are still in original location. Can I move everything that transfered to new hard drive, i.e. apps, back to original folder and be good to go? Thx!!

There is also a donate-ware app called iBackup : http://www.grapefruit.ch/iBackup/ which does incremental backups from the second backup onwards. I use it for everything except backing up the whole computer, for which I use Disk Utility "Restore".

Treo 700, I want to move from MissingSync back to iSync HELP

Long story short: got a replacement Palm Treo700 phone. Missing Sync doesn't like that---replacement Treo crashes all the time now. I want to go back to using my iSync. I've uninstalled MissingSync but now I can't sync with iSync, it errors out. So my Treo is relatively useless except as a phone and whatever calendar, phone book data is still in it. Any advice I will appreciate!
thanks!

I agree that it's a step backward.
Yes, it's a Verizon Wireless phone, however it is clearly documented on the MarkSpace site if you sync a new phone with your "old" software without making the necessary adjustments, it will crash. I, of course, did not think that the new phone would cause this problem so I just synced it. whoops.
Now I just want to fix the problem and once I do so I will move back to MissingSync.

I backed up my IPhone 4s to my computer then I got the iPhone 6 and backed that up on the same computer now my iPhone 6 is like an iPhone 4s how do I get it back to an iPhone 6?

I Have recently gotten an iPhone 6. I had an iPhone 4s before. I used iTunes to back up my iPhone 4s and worked fine. Now that I have an iPhone 6 I backed it up to the same computer, same iTunes, it then restored my old phone into my new phone. How do I get the original iPhone 6 back without taking all the original data I have on it now off?

You did import these important photos over to an alternative storage medium, just like you would with any digital camera, right?

Audio help wanted exporting to QT and back into FCP.

I have a sequence with live sound on A1 and A2, music on A3 and A4 and some extra voice on A5 and A6. I have gone into audio outputs and clicked "6 outputs" and "dual mono" for each and tried checking all the options for "Discrete channels" "Stereo down mix" etc. Whatever happens when I reimport the QT movie into a fcp sequence I get the 6 tracks but the whole mix always ends up of 1 and 2 with the other tracks blank. How can I get all the tracks to carry accross individually all the way?

I've sent a test to the broadcaster using this method. When I reimported the QT file back into FCP it was possible to separate the live sound from the music etc. I'll have to hope it's OK otherwise I'll have to do the odd suggestion of the editor of converting all the audio files to AIFF and re-laying them into the project and then exporting the whole lot as a QT file.

Is it legal to move songs and video from iTunes to a non apple cell phone ?

I recently got a cell phone ( non apple) and wanted to move stuff from my iTunes library to the phone, is this legal ?

Yes, unless you need to break an item's DRM to do so. This isn't a problem for music, except in the case of very old purchases, but might be for video content purchased from the iTunes Store.
