Control key at startup so computer acts like hard drive

It's control something so when a computer starts up it acts like a hard drive when connected to another computer so it's easy to transfer stuff. Control what? I thought it was T, but that's not right. Thank you.

Just the "t" key, no other key. That'll put you in Firewire Target Disk Mode...

Is there a way to make the NAS200 act like a drive in my computer

Not sure if this has been discussed here yet.
I have a NAS200 connected to my router and I can access through my web browser no problem.
I was wondering if there's a way to make it act like a drive that's in my computer. i.e give it a drive letter and have it show up in the "my computer" area.
I am running win 8 pro desktop hard wired to the router with the nas200 connected. Is there a way to "mount" the nas200 as drive on the computer.
Thanks,
Bob
Solved!

Yes, you just need to map the drive on your computer. You need to make sure first that the network drive is detected in the network. You can click on the following link to know how to map the drive:

Switching iTunes (older version) from an old latptop with mechanical issues to iTunes on a new computer. The hard drive, issue free, was placed in external drive enclosure. How do I recover iTunes?

I'm trying to moves iTunes (older version) from an old latptop with mechanical issues (non working screen, keyboard, and battery) to iTunes on a new computer. The hard drive, issue free, was placed in external drive enclosure. This was a cost effective way instead of dumping lots of money in an outdated old laptop while I can invest it into a new laptop. How do I recover iTunes?
I'm switching from a 3G phone to a blank 4GS in the process. I would like to have everything that was on my 3G phone and iTunes on my new phone and computer.
Thanks

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

How to restore music on computer after new hard drive installed?

had new hard drive installed and am not able to retrieve/find music that was backed up on my computer before new hard drive was installed. Only music that was in the "cloud" was able to be retrieved. Any idea where it could be?
Thanks!

Did you reinstalled iTunes ? It looks like you had a newer version of iTunes with the corresponding database, and now your iTunes seem to be an older version. If you are a little patient, you might easily fix this with iTunes 10.5 which should come out very very soon since iOS 5 has been annonced for tomorrow.

HT4527 How can I relocate my music so it lives outside my computer in a hard drive? I'm running out of hard drive space.

How can I relocate my music so it lives outside my computer in a hard drive? I'm running out of hard drive space.

The referenced article does not address the issue of just moving the music files outside my iMac, then still use my iMac and iTunes to manipulate those files without them adding bulk memory space to my iMac. Would like to have the link or alias, or path fully described so that I may keep adding more music. Plus one more thing, I would like to be guided as to how to back all of this music onto my capsule via time machine.

I need to install photoshop cs4 extended from a disk to a new computer because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?

Find your serial number quickly
You can activate software without following up and registering it... at least that was the case in the past. The serial number is normally located on the disc case or a box inside the main box. If you did not purchase the disc from Adobe then it is possible you would have dealt with a redemption code, in which case it would have been up to you to keep a record of the serial number, especially if you did not follow up and register the software.

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space, and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run t media from an external hard drive? If so, how do I transfer my files?

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.

iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

I am trying to gather all of my music into one place, but it is scattered throughout my computer and external hard drive, how can I put it all in one folder and then create one library off of it?

My first problem is that I need to get all of my music files in one folder, they are scattered throughout my computer and external hard drive and I am trying to get them all together. Afterwards I want to send this music to my microsd hard in my Samsung Galaxy s4, is there a way to proceed through this? Or at least one part of it?

Consolidate your iTunes Library
As for the other part of the question, iTunes syncs with Apple devices.
Simply copy the media desired from the computer to the microSD card. This has nothing to do with iTunes.

HT1349 I had to get a new computer as my hard drive went and lost everything. How do I get my itunes library back?

I had to get a needed to get a new computer as my hard drive died. How do I geatr my ituens library of songs back?

The easy way is from the backup you make of your computer so in case something happens you don't lose anything.
You can download some media files purchased from Apple:
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
This will not reconstruct your library as it was. It just puts the media back. You will have to do playlists, ratings, etc. If you have music from another source you will have to get it from there again.

I have a mid-2010 27" Quad Core i5 iMac running 10.8.3. Startup disk recognizes the primary hard drive as a startup volume but will not boot from it. Have tried zapping PRAM, ran disk utility. No errors reported Any thoughts?

My bad Eric. The startup preference recognizes the primary as a 10.8.3 startup volume but when u select it the system does not boot. I can only boot from my external backup drive

I am reinstalling Photoshop Elements 7 on my computer after my hard drive died.

I am reinstalling Photoshop Elements 7 on my computer after my hard drive died. I found a download page on adobe's website for the software and installed. Install went fine but when I entered the serial number I received from my original e-bay purchase the software said it wasn't valid.

No, I am using the serial number from the original e-mail that I received when I bought the software. I don't think I ever registered the serial number, how would I check?
