How can I move an emailed photo to my hard drive?

I am using yahoo mail on Firefox. I want to save an emailed photo.

Ah! Bootable clone!! I don't think that you can use a compressed image for that, i.e., the system can't uncompress itself on the fly. And Disk Utility's images aren't bootable per-se.
Try using SuperDuper ( http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22126 ). I have over 6 bootable images of past and present startup volumes, spread over as many partitions in three external firewire HD's, created with that program. It is usually much faster to create a complete backup that way. Also a good reason to add an extra drive to the system, expecially since they've dropped so much in price. Go for a 500GB, 750GB, or the big 1TB whopper, stick it into one of your G5's bays (if available), partition it and clone away.
If all the partitions are available to the system, you can select which to boot from by pressing the Option key before the "bong" sound at startup.
Cheers,

  • I am over capacity and think it's because I have Downton Abbey Season 1 saved in iTunes. How can I move the episodes to an external hard drive?

    I am over capacity on my #GS iPhone and I have  a very large amount of audio space that I think might be taken up by season one of Downton Abbey. I have tried to copy and save episodes to my external hard drive but I get a message saying I "don't have permission". How can I move the six episodes out iTunes ??

    How can I move software program over to an external hard drive to free up space on my imac.  I have move documents and photos and movies but the only thing left is softward programs.  How do you move them to the external drive?
    EXTREMELY poor idea! Leave the apps on the internal HD. You can move files and libraries from iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, Aperture, etc.. to an external HD but leave the apps them self on the internal HD.
    Did you empty the Trash after moving all that data to the EHD??

  • How can I move my 31K photos to a standalone drive in folders and then import them back to edit and then perhaps return them to iphoto and library to produce slide shows

    I want to move my photos into folders, which reflect the contents of iphoto events , to a standalone hard drive. Subsequently I intend to return them a few at a time to edit in Elements. Once  they are edited I may return groups to iphoto to organize into slide shows. As things stand now, my iMac drive is rapidly filling  up. I do not use raw files so I want to move Jpegs and edit them.
    David

    I'm with Léonie. That's a very (and unnecessarily) complicated plan you have there. As Léonie says you can just set Elements as an external editor.
    To move a Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How can I move my pictures to an external hard drive to free up space?

    Does anyone know how to move pictures in iPhoto to an external hard drive? My computer is running out of memory and therefore running very slowly. I get the spinning circle constantly.
    Thank you!!

    I don't know if you're under Applecare, but I've used them often to guide me through the process of both moving my photos & music, and getting my laptop to know where to look for them. I've stored my media on an external drive for years and the Apple techs always help, from partitioning the drive to moving the libraries.
    They can also help you understand the difference between RAM & 'memory'. It's possible the computer needs the 81 GB's for 'running purposes', though that sounds a bit high for that. Someone else may know.
    What Clinton describes does work, by the way. But if you're not sure you get how to do that, don't be shy about calling Applecare.

  • How can I move my system from my current hard drive to a new SSD drive?

    I just installed a 240GB SSD in place of my optical drive and would like to ,make this drive my startup drive. I have everything backed up on Time Machine. How can I get the OSX 10.8.2 system onto the SSD and make the SSD the startup drive please?

    It depends on how you have things organized.
    You certainly need to copy all of the folders that have music in them (perhaps this is in your "My Music" folder, or an "iTunes music" folder.
    You also need to copy your iTunes library files (.xml, .itl) - these will be in a folder called "iTunes." If your music is in that iTunes folder as well (but it will be in a sub-folder called "iTunes library" - then just copy the whole iTunes folder across.

  • How can I move iWork 09 to a new hard drive?

    Here's the deal: In a last-ditch attempt to fix a vexing problem with a Tascam US-800 audio interface, I have undertaken a clean install of Lion on a fresh hard drive. Because I suspect this problem is caused by some strange issue with my old system (I can't replicate it on a MacBook, for instance), I am migrating everything carefully and manually, reinstalling programs where possible.
    Unfortunately, we have managed to misplace the disc for the family pack of iWorks 09 that we bought when my wife got her MacBook back in 2009 (irritatingly enough, I found the sleeve, but the disc is not in it).
    I called Apple to see if I could do anything about it, but I have to pay for AppleCare to even talk to them about replacing the disc - which would cost about as much as simply buying the software itself again.
    So, my question is this: I have a perfectly usable installation of iWork on the old hard drive. Is there anyway to get that working on the new drive without reinstalling from the disc I no longer appear to have?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    No. No proof of purchase, either - unless you count the sleeve the disc came in. We've moved twice since my wife bought the software. There's literally no telling where the disc might be, and I guess there's no serial number associated with the software to prove that it's a legal copy.
    I probably will go the MAS route, at least for Pages. I have Office 11, so maybe I'll just make due with Word unless I come across a Pages or Numbers file I absolutely have to open.
    This is a definite advertisement for MAS, though. It certainly takes the hassle out of reinstalling apps.
    I just hope the clean install fixes my problem with the US-800.

  • How can I move my iphoto Library to another hard drive?

    I would like to move my iphoto library to another drive. I've already copied it to the other drive, do I now just delete it from the internal drive? If so how does iphoto know where to find the photos?

    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How can I move/copy scanned photos that were sent to my gmail account? I have not been able to move or copy to iPhoto.

    How can I move/copy scanned photos that were sent to my gmail account? I have not been able to move or copy to iPhoto.

    Hello SusieMacBook,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! 
    You can definitely get these photos into iPhoto if they are the correct file type (JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and PNG).  The way you import the photo attachments depends on where you check your e-mail.  The following article is for iPhoto 11 (but should work for previous versions as well).  It outlines how to import photos from Mac Mail, other e-mail applications, and web browsers, so just look at the section that applies to you.

    I hope this helps!

  • How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

    How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

    You can sort by using the search feature. When you are in your mail account you use the search bar at the top to find emails from a particular sender (there are Other options as well in search). Type in that sender's address. When the emails show up in the window on the left side, select all of the emails that you want to move. Tap Edit at the bottom and the Move Folder icon will appear. Tap that icon and select the folder that you want to move the emails into.
    To move multiple emails without using the search to sort, go to your inbox and tap Edit. Then select all of the emails that you want to move. After you are done selecting them, tap the Move icon at the bottom on the left side of the account window. When you tap move, you get a choice of folder into which you can place the selected emails.

  • How do I move iTunes library to an external hard drive to use less space?

    How do I move iTunes library to an external hard drive to use less space?

    Our iTunes guru Terence Devlin advises the following:
    1. Quit iTunes
    2. Drag the iTunes folder from your internal hd - located in ~/Music folder - to your external hd. DO NOT delete the original one from your internal hd... yet!
    3. When the transfer is complete, press and hold the Option(alt) key and fire up iTunes.
    4. A "Choose iTunes Library" window will come up. Click on the "Choose Library" button.
    5. Navigate to where the iTunes folder is located in the external hd.
    6. Within the iTunes folder, select the iTunes Library file and click Choose...
    That's it. iTunes will now display all your playlists, songs, movies, podcasts etc. At this point, should you wish, you can delete the iTunes folder from the internal hd to free up space.

    If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.
