Is there a way I can use my external hard drive without the files being transferred on to my computer? as like like my iTunes music being on my hard drive without them being copied onto my computers hard drive ?

Many users keep their iTunes libraries on external drives. You just have to remember to connect and power up the drive before launching iTunes.

Then your iTunes must be looking at the removable disc, not your hard drive. Did you actually copy the songs onto your computer, or simply tell iTunes to look at the removable drive?
Highlight a song and click on File/Get Info/Summary>Where and check the location that iTunes has listed for the song. What does it say?

Best way,copy dvd onto hard drive

I am attempting to copy my non-copyright dvd's onto my mac mini so I can put them on the hard drive as well as simply copy them onto flash drive for use
when I need them at work(teacher). Suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Try this:
goto applications > utilities > disk utility
insert your dvd with the data that you want to make an iso from
the disk will appear in disk utility on the left hand side
click on the name of the disk [not the name of the cd / dvd drive]
click the ‘new image’ icon on the top bar
select ‘cd / dvd master’ form the ‘type’ dropdown
it will then make you an iso image [it will have the extension 'cdr']
You can then put this wherever you like. When you are ready to view
it, double click it to mount it on the desktop. Then you can open it
with any DVD player. Also, some players can take the resulting image
directly (Mplayer is a free app that can do this).
Also, once in this format, you can then easilly burn copies of it.

My 2008 Macbook Pro logic board failed...am I still able to copy that hard drive onto my 2011 Macbook Pro hard drive?

What you can do is to extract the hard drive from your old computer, put it in an enclosure and connect it to your newer computer, so you can restore your data.
It's not too difficult to do it yourself, but if you think you will do something wrong, take it to a store where you can get your data restored

How do I relocate part of my home folder onto another drive

Hi all
I am about to take delivery of my new Mac Pro, but with only 512MB of startup SSD I don't have room for my whole home folder. I have found plenty of info online about moving my whole home folder onto another drive, but as my external drive is only USB3 I don't want to do that. Instead I want to move my Movies and Pictures folders only and then tell my system to forget about the old location and treat the new location as though it is the home folder just for those two bits.
Sure I can just copy them over and delete the old folder contents, but as soon as I want to do something like save a pic or movie the system defaults to the old empty location.
It's not the end of the world, but if I can fix it, I'd like to. The plan is to sort this on my current Mac Mini before the new toy arrives, so I can easily set up the new one.
All guidance gratefully received.
Regards
Tim

Hello,
You can use some basic unix wizardry to make this happen. What you will be doing is creating a unix "soft link" from your home directory to the actual location of the directories, wherever they may be. This link serves as a "behind-the-scenes redirect" to the actual location to which you link. For example, with the soft link in place, if you
Here's what you do:
Use Finder to move your directories of choice from your home directory to the external HDD. This will require your admin password. Now you should see the folders on your external HDD, and NOT in your home folder. For purposes of this procedure, I will assume your external HDD is named "Storage". Wherever you see "Storage" in the following steps, replace it with the actual name of your external HDD.
Open the Terminal app.
From the command prompt, type the following commands (with a <return> after each) to create a soft link (in this example we are using the "Movies" folder. The "Movies" folder must have been moved in Step 1 to the external HDD):
cd
ln -s /Volumes/Storage/Movies Movies
Repeat the "ln -s" command for each folder that you have moved in Step 1.
Here's what's happening in Step 3:
The "cd" command just ensures that you are in your home directory.
The "ln -s" command creates a link from the external HDD directory, to a directory in your present location (i.e., your home directory)
There is one side affect that I don't know how to get around. Once you do this, the icon that shows up for the "Movies" folder in your home directory will no longer be the fancy system icon for the Movies folder. It will be a vanilla folder icon, with an curved arrow. The curved arrow is a visual indication that the file/folder is link to somewhere else.
Hope this helps.

I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only). However no itunes playlists. i have all my playlists on my iphone and pics etc however when im trying to sync to my new computer itunes deletes all data

I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only). However no itunes playlists. i have all my playlists on my iphone and pics etc however when im trying to sync to my new computer itunes wants to deletes all data off of my iphone so i click cancel
i want to update to iOS 5 and still have itunes be able to copy my playlists from my iphone. for free. why does apple provide a recovery from iphone option?

If you have a backup, restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the computer. This restores the library and device association files. If for some reason you chose to only back up the media and not the entire iTunes folder, then the only option is to let iTunes wipe the drive and re-sync.

Getting data from multiple hard drives onto one drive

So here's the problem: I have a Quicksilver 867 I want to upgrade, it came with no HD so I want a new one, I put my old strawberry imac's HD into it because I still have a use for all the programs on it (i.e. photoshop) and I wanted to take advantage of the QS' hardware (superdrive), also I know my department is getting rid of their old G4 and that computer has some programs I would rather see being used than being erased, so is there a way to copy all the information from those two drives onto a new drive and still have those programs working good? I've read about HD copying software but am still hazy on how it will handle individual programs? If I have to copy the whole drive, would there be a problem with multiple system folders being on the new HD? I don't have much experience with this sort of thing, so I hope I'm describing the situation well enough.
I plan to buy Tiger and install it on the new HD and the old drives are running os 9.1 and 9.2 just to let you all know. If anyone can give me some advice I would be most grateful.
thanks,
nick

Having multiple system folders on the same volume is a problem waiting to happen. The safest way to have trouble-free programs is to use the original installer CDs to load the software, so that all components (both visible and invisible) are written to their designated locations on the hard drive. Copying programs from another hard drive without ownership of the media is software piracy. If your employer doesn't use the programs on the soon-to-be discarded G4, why not ask if you can have or purchase the installer CDs?

Why is the file copied onto my external bigger?

Hope someone has an answer for this because its kind of bugging the crap out of me. I recently took my G5 Quad in for a repair and of course backed everything up and removed all personal info from the G5(call me paranoid). I noticed something odd, I had 305.75gb of photos that I copied onto my external but it shows up as 306.96gb. Like I said Im paranoid so I wrote down the number of files in that folder and the the desktop and external both note the same number of files.
Anyone else bugged by this or is it just me. <Edited by Moderator> ...any information would be great its just really bugging me.

Files take up more space on a larger drive because the drive space is divided into blocks, and if even a byte of a block is used, the block as a whole is considered used. Larger drives have larger blocks.

Would cleaning out the preferences help Appleworks to run smoother? I noticed that was suggested in an earlier post.
Peggy's reply is spot on. Deleting the preferences won't make AppleWorks run smoother and it's not something you should do regularly. It's only a troubleshooting remedy - if the preference files are corrupted then it causes strange behaviour with AppleWorks.
The reason deleting your recent items makes AppleWorks smoother is because AppleWorks is programmed to check them regularly. And if there's a lot of them, then it takes AppleWorks a long time to check them. This causes AppleWorks to 'run a bit rough' – it's not just handling your typing, formatting, etc but also chasing up documents on your hard drive.
Hope the explanation helps a bit.

How to download pics onto thumb drive as backup

I need help to find out how to download pics from adobe photoshop onto thumb drive for backup purposes?

Sounds like you are using photoshop elements and not photoshop. As photoshop does not store any images. For photoshop all images are where ever you placed them which can be moved or copied using your OS's default file browser.
Since I mever used elements, I can only guess, that the database in elements only points to the original files, Try right clicking on on of the files and see if it has an option of viewing in your file browser. This would give you the location so you can copy or move files to your flash drive.
I am using file browser loosely as I do not know if you have Windows or a Mac.

Why is Copying a Hard Drive to another so difficult?

All I want to do is COPY one Hard Drive onto an External.
I have one MBP hooked up to another via Target Disk mode, the 1st MBP hooked up to another external HDD, and all I want to do it is copy the Target one to the HDD.
Copy, Paste, boom. But it always, always wants to hang. Just copy. That's all I want to do, why can't we just copy everything over like that? Do I have to use a proper application to formally copy a whole system and everything on it safely so that everything is there and nothing is missing?
What application would you recommend to do that?
Thank you!

Use SuperDuper! or CCC. They are made for this purpose.

Songs Not copied onto work pc

"72 songs were not copied to the iPod, Sarah's iPod because you are not authorized to play it on this computer."
Is there anything I can do? These are songs that I purchased off of iTunes.
I am having problems with my laptop not recognizing my iPod. When I tried changing the drive, per the Apple helpdesk, the iPod disappeared. I just want the songs I paid for to be copied onto my iPod.
I made back-up disks from my laptop, downloaded the newest version of iTunes onto my work pc, synched my iPod and that is when I got the error message.

Have you seen this?
