How can I move from one hard rive to another to search for my photos?

I have many of my photos on an external hardrive. iPhoto will not let me go to that external hardrive to search. It only shows the photos I have on my laptop. What is an easy way to do this?

Don't know if I would call it "easy" but what you need to do is to create a new iPhoto library on your external drive.
Hold down the option key when starting iPhoto. You will get a dialog that will let you create a new library. (on you external drive)
Now you can add photos to this library as usual.
To switch between libraries hold down the option key when starting iPhoto and select which library you want.
If your still confused you may want to post aditional questions on the iPhoto support section.

How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

It's because of the extension of the hard drive is a Windows extension ( most likely MSDOS or Ex-FAT), meaning you can only read but not write. If there are no important files (or you can copy the whole thing to your computer/mac) you can just reformat the hard drive and change the extension to NTFS (readable and writable on both windows and mac) or Mac OS Extended (readable and writable on Mac, readable on windows).
Go to DISK UTILITY
Choose the Hard Disk you intended
ERASE
You can choose either
(I personally prefer this one, you know just in case)

HT201320 How can I switch from one email user to another?

How can I switch from one email account to another?

You have to select between the two accounts in the mail app.
Say for instance that you are reading an email in your XYZ email account. Tap the button in the upper left corner of the mail app to back out all the way to where you can see all of the email accounts.... Tap InBox, then tap XYZ email Account and that will take you back to the main MailBoxes window.
Is that what you want to know? There is no way to simply "toggle" between the two accounts.

In InCopy, how can I paste from one InDesign table to another without also copying formatting?

I'm attempting to paste information from one indesign document to another, but the styles are different. Pasting without formatting not working in a table. When I paste over, it retains the container style from the original table.
I have "Text Only" selected from my Clipboard Handling preferences, so I'm not sure what else to do. I know I can hit escape to switch to the text selection instead of a container, but this only selects the text from one cell. I'd like to copy over the entire table, instead of copying cell by cell.
How can I paste a table into another, without copying the formatting?

Copy/Paste whole cells will always retain formatting.
What you have to do is: Copy/Paste Without Formatting the text contents of the individual cell.
You have to do that individually for each cell, if you want to copy over text of a whole table.
A better approach would be to:
1. Copy the whole table to Excel (or a different spread sheet application)
2. Copy again from that
3. Select one single cell and paste
In that case "Text Only" should be selected from the Clipboard Handling Preferences.

How do I move from one external drive to another, without the "Relocate Masters" command?

I have my masters referenced on an external hard drive, and I've been mirroring that drive with another so that I have a backup (the volume names were ApertureLib1 for the primary drive and Photo7 for the backup). I've filled that drive, so it will no longer be my primary master drive (i.e. all new masters going forward are going on a new, separate drive). I want to keep one of the two drives online and put the other away as an offsite backup.
The catch is that the primary drive (ApertureLib1) does not place nicely with my Lexar Firewire 400 CF reader; when I insert or eject a card, it has a habit of disconnecting itself. The backup drive (Photo7) does not exhibit this issue. So I decided that I'd just rename Photo7 to ApertureLib1 and be on my way; the folder containing all the masters (PhotoLib) is mirrored by using Arrsync (an rsync GUI), so all the files should be there.
Great theory, except that Aperture does not recognize the renamed Photo7 drive as ApertureLib1, despite the system seeing it as such (both in the Finder sidebar and showing up in /Volumes as "ApertureLib1"). The "locate referenced masters" dialog shows ApertureLib1 as 'offline' and does not give me any opportunity to point to the second drive as the master location.
I assume that Aperture is somehow tracking a separate unique identifier for the drive. Does anyone know what this might be and how I might convince it to treat the was-a-backup drive as being the One, True Location for this set of masters?
Many thanks.
(and I really don't want to use "relocate masters" because I'd first need to delete the exsiting copy on the second drive and then move over all of the images from the first drive, before copying them back to have a backup)

Hi Kevin,
I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.

How can I link from one flash document to another with buttons?

Hi,
From the question above, you can tell that I'm very new to flash, especially with scripting. Total noob.
I watched my instructor's videos and I'm still stumped. He didn't explain it very well.
For starters, I am using Flash CS6, but I clicked on AS1.0 and AS2.0 from the drop down mention in the actionscript window for the script below, since that is what my instructor used.
What I have now are various pages I've already created in flash that are different pages in my website, including a splash page with an enter button.
For example, I want the enter button to link to another .swf or .html file when it is clicked. This file will be the main page.
I tried using this script that my instructor mentioned in the video on the button layer:
on (release); {
getURL("page1.swf");
the "page1.swf" file is already in the same folder in my computer as my splash page and I even imported it to the library of my splash page.
From my instructor's video demo, that should be apparently all that is needed.
But I cannot get this to work.
I tested the file and this is what flash comes up with:
In the output tab:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TCMText is not defined.
In the compiler errors tab:
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 28', Frame 1, Line 1
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method on.
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 28', Frame 1, Line 1
1120: Access of undefined property release.
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 28', Frame 1, Line 2
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method getURL.
Any thoughts? My instructor also recommended that I embed the .swf into an .html, but he obviously didn't tell us how to do that!
Also, why doesn't script assist work with AS3?
Thank you so much!

Okay so I changed it to AS1/AS2.
Now it says this:
Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 28, frame=1, Line 1
Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 28, frame=1, Line 4
Syntax error.
I am very confused.
Also, since all my other pages are in AS3, is there some way I can use another script in AS3 that accomplishes the same task?
Can someone please provide me with the correct script to use?
Thank you so much! I feel that people here are much more responsive than my instructor is! Thank God for this forum!

Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I find it hard to believe that this information isn't clearly available somewhere, but it isn't and I don't think I've seen anyone here who is 100% sure. However, I believe you can have up to 10 associated devices, which include authorised computers (of which you can have up to 5), I suspect the Apple TV might become a temporary associated device while it's in use, but I'm not entirely sure myself.

How do I move my files from one Hard Drive to another?

I have all of my music and podcast files on one hard drive (my external hard drive). My "Library" files are on my internal hard drive.
How can I move my external hard drive files to my internal hard drive files without having to manually find all of them? I have some 12,000 songs, and so dont' want to do it manually.
Please advise -
Thank you!
chris

First off, are your song files in .WAV format? If they are not, then these directions should work.
Secondly, it assumes you are OK with the iTunes Way of organizing files. Which means artist folders with album sub-folders.
If you have some other special setup in the way you organize your folders that I don't know about, now would be the time to mention it ; )
Basically, you use a special itunes "consolidate library" command to move everything over, as explained in this article:

I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

You can't whilst you have a balance.

Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move or copy those files as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window when the second library is loaded. If you're using two iTunes libraries on one user account, you only need to locate the files; otherwise, they need to be put in a shared area.
