Easy for them that know, how do i move pics and/or music to mac from pc

Yeah i am a switcher as of yesterday, i am trying not to break anything on my expensive Mac, I have succesfully moved all my email folders etc. by simply putting the relevant files on a memory card and dragging them to the Mail icon on the "dock"
So now i have progressed onto Photos and Music files, i am putting all of these onto my memory card, the only thing i am not sure of, forgive me for being a bit wary, where do i drag the photos and/or music to ?
It might be the iTunes icon, not too sure, as i cant believe that just by dragging the files to the iTunes icon, whether they be music files or photo files, iTunes will sort them all out for me without the program even being open.
I was very pleased that Mail in fact DID do this perfectly OK when i dragged a load of MBOX folders onto the Mail icon.
I suppose i just need confirmation as i am sure that is what i have to do, i know how important iTunes is to the Mac enviroment that i darent open it LOL.

Are you recovering Lion or later Time Machine backup with a Lion or later machine?
If you are, then use this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Other Time Machine restore options are here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
Note, if recovering from a PowerPC Mac (iMac G5, PowerMac, Mac Mini G4, iBook, Powerbook), this tip is important:

Otherwise use the recommended restore option with whatever backup software you used initially.

How to know how many rows including headers and footers does subreport has from Main Report

Hi, we are sturuggling with subreports. Main report has 3 subreports, each subreport is inplmented in a group header(3 subreports and 3 group headers). We would like to print a group header under subreport as a column header every page, and need a page break when group number is changed. This report exports a MS Excel(97-2003) report file.
In main report, [New After Page] is checked under Group Header #1d from [Section Expert]
In each subreport, [Repeat Group Header On Each Page] is checked under the highest group from [Group Expert]
Here are two issues;
Since Crystal Reports has more rows than Excel in one page, colmun header in each subreport is being printed in the middle of the page. It should be printed at the top of the page
When Subreport has many rows and has to be printed in more than 1 page, a page break is automatically inserted before column header. It should be printed right below column header which is Group Header #1
We have been trying to pass row counts(count of group header because group header is used as the details) using a shared variable from Subreport 1 to Subreport 2 via main report since Subreport2 cannot predict how many rows Subreport 1 has.
Here is what we are trying but we are getting an error which is "A constant expression is required here" under main report
- In Sunreport 1
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar SubGroupCount := DistinctCount({Table.Field});
- In Mainreport
shared numbervar SubGroupCount;
if(pagenumber) = 1
then (SubGroupCount)
else 50
Is there any solutionss or better ways other than above?
Thank you,
Main Report: Group Header #1a --> as Page Header
Run Date: mm/dd/yyyy Report Name
Main Report Group Header #1b --> Subreport 1
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
Header 5
Header 6
Main Report Goup Header #1c --> Subreport 2
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
Header 5
Header 6
Main Report Froup Header #1d --> Subreport 3
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
Header 5
Header 6

Thank you for your reply and sorry for my complicated explanations. The report has confidential information, so I replaced to some fake data but I believe you can still see what I am trying to do..
Main Report
Subreport 2
Output1
Output2: the following page
--> more rows are printed..
We have two problems;
1. The column header in Output2 is supposed to be pronted right below the last row in Output2, however, a page break is automatically inserted. But even in the same output document, it works for some group when it has a few rows..
2. Since Crystal Reports prints more rows in one page than MS Excel does, Column header is not be printed at the top of the page.
I tried the way you advised me but it did not work..

How do you move events and projects between Libraries in iMove 10

I am running OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks) & iMovie 10.0.5.
I am trying to free up space on my internal 1TB hard drive and want to archive events and completed projects onto an external hard drive, which has a second iMove v10 Library on. Under V9 of iMovie this function was easy, but I am struggling under V10.
What is the correct way to move events between libraries in iMovie.
When I attach the external drive containing my second iMovie Library, open it I can see all existing events stored (by move) under version 9 of iMovie.
Reading the Help (extract below) for this function it implies highlight the Event to move & then drag & drop into the second Library.
Shift+CMD with drag and drop onto the second library at the library name level will move Events that are not tied to a project, but for completed projects (Finalized under V9 or shared for example with iTunes in V10) it seems these can not be moved, the above function only copies them to the second library.
I have tried all different combinations of the Fn, Ctrl, Option CMD keys etc with and without SHIFT and the ones that work for this function only copy the event. I can not seem to get an event moved once attached to a project. File - Move Event will also move Events not tied to a completed project.
I have also tried copy to a second Library & then to delete the original events. Again it appears you can not delete events tied to a Project.
What I have also not been able to find is how to move a finalised Project to another Library and then see if events attached to that project would then move.
I have been able to move Events not tied to a Project to the second Library, then create a new project within this Library. This helps with all new projects & future import of Events. But does not help me free up current space by archiving.
Extract from help
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or storage devices
         Connect a storage device that contains the target library to your Mac, or copy the target library to your Mac.
         Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries, locate an existing library on your Mac, or create a new library.The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
         In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
         In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Tip: To select multiple clips or projects in the same library, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
         Do one of the following:
To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
Would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks
Colroy

Further to my original post below; I have done further analysis and it seams that if you have events tied to a project (mine are all finalised) you can not move events between Libraries. However, events that are not tied to a project can be moved. Either by Shift CMD or by using File- Move event.
What I have not been able to find is how to move a finalised Project to another Library and then see if events attached to that project would then move.
Copy works for events attached to a project. I have also tried copy to a second Library & then to delete the original events. Again it appears you can not delete events tied to a Project.
Does anyone know how to archive (move) Projects and/or events in iMovie 10.0.05 under Mavericks 10.9.5 to a second library on an external drive.
Thanks

How to open .rar files and .exe files on mac

HI
I'm new user on mac and would like to know how to open .rar files and .exe files on MAC OS X

How is this a Compressor question?
.exe is a Windows only Executable, and can't be opened on a Mac, unless you have Windows installed.

How can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT - it's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)

how can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT?
It's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)
It is simply too painful to have to zip everything up into a single file to send. MHT format has been available for years now from IE, and with every new FF release it's the first thing I look for. I have been using FF for years, and hate having to come out of it, over into IE |(which I even took out of startup) and key everything in again, in order to send somebody something in a convenient format that they can open with a single click.
I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, so have you looked at it and rejected it? Have MS kept the file format secret?
Thanks
MG

This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

HT203167 Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or on my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this?

Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this? I've tried all the suggestions, and it's hugely frustrating.

If you are in the UK, and the film studio allows re-downloading, and you are signed in with the same account that you bought them with, then they might show under the Purchased link under Quinklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading - if they don't show then check to see if they are hidden (hiding and unhiding).
But you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup of your downloads and noy rely on being able to re-download any item as they are occasionally removed from the store by the content provider (film studio, tv company, record company etc).

I have a paid download manager as an add-on for firefox and I want to know how I can move it to another installaton of firefox (Since I will wipe my HDD)

All of your Firefox data is stored in the profile folder.
* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
** The ''extensions'' subfolder contains add-ons like extensions and themes (but not plug-ins; plug-ins are third-party software installed in your operating system).
** Some extensions may create data folders (e.g. /adblockplus) or files (e.g. stylish.sqlite) directly under the profile folder.
** The ''prefs.js'' file stores your preferences for Firefox and extensions.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.
