How do I extend the time before re-entering password. I have it set of one hour at present but would like to extend that.

I have a 2014 Mac Mini 1.4G, 4GB, 500GB. I bought this recently but am new to Mac. How can I extend the down time before having to re-enter my password. I have it set to 1 hr but I need more time because of using it intermittently throughout the day. I can't seem to get back to where I set that in the first place.
Help!!

My MacBook Air's storage is full. When I look at the storage, most of what is taking up the space is "other". I am not sure what these application or documents are but would like to reduce this so that I can store more pictures to edit. Any advice?

When I look at the storage, most of what is taking up the space is "other". I am not sure what these application or documents are but would like to reduce this so that I can store more pictures to edit. Any advice on how to find out what takes up this much space so that I can clear some off?

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

How do i see the times and amount of money i have added to my itunes

i would like to see when and what amounts have been added to my account. like ten dollar itunes card on 2-3-11 25 dollar itunes car on 3-4-12

On Mac you would have to use SQLite Manager and use a specific query to see all history entries for a specific link or time frame.

HT201250 I had turned off the time machine auto back up and now when I try to turn it back on it keeps looking for a disk even though the time capsule is shown, do I have to set it up again as an initial?

I have been using the time capsule to back up both my iMac and recently added MacAir, it has been working fine but recentlky I had turned the time machine off on the Macair and now when I try to turn it back on it keeps looking for a disk even if I select the time capsule. Do I have to start the backup for the Macair as a new backup?

That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

Something strange is happening to the time on my iTouch. This morning it was reading one hour behind the actual Toronto, Ontario Time. Now this afternoon it is exactly 3 hours behind the current time. Any suggestions?

Have you tried a Restart and/or a Reset...
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons..

How can I change the icloud id on my phone. my wife and I both use 1 acct. I would like to have a separate acct for my phone

I would like to create another ICloud acct under my apple id for my IPhone 4. My wife and I both have IPhone 4's and we are using the same acct. Please help

You can only create one iCloud account with your ID. To create a new one, you will need a second Apple ID. To migrate your data to a new iCloud account, first decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, any data in your accounts that you don't want (such as your wife's contacts in your account, and vice versa), you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

I have 2 mobiles and one bill...I would like seperate clear bills for each. How

I have 2 sons..2 phones..but one bill..it's difficult to seperate who owes what with vat etc....I want 2 clear bills not one joint bill.

Hi ,
Thanks for joining the Community.
Unfortunately when you have two phones on one account it is not possible to have two separate bills.
Your bill should show the charges for both phones separately. Your can check which phones bill you are reading by looking at the top right of the page where it says 'For phone number:'
Hope this helps.

My backup to Time Capsule is taking over 4 million days. How can I shorten the time? I am not able to connect through ethernet. How do I fix this?

Not only that but my Mac Pro keep running and does not stop, my Address book has a blue light under it but wont open, the light for my monitor in the bottom right corner wont turn on or off. Please need help...

It sounds like there is an issue with the Mac itself.
Use the verify disk A5 in troubleshooting.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Even if you cannot connect by ethernet, at current location.. you can simply disconnect the TC from the network and bring it to the Mac and plug it in by ethernet. The TC can be reset if you haven't got a suitable current setup (save previous setup before you change it) and run just as backup device.. do the backup and then return it to the network.
If this is just a standard incremental backup.. then something has broken. The issue is not the TC pe se but failure in hardware somewhere.

Timer works if I set the time before the current one

Hi,
I've got a block that is part of an actionListener that has 4 buttons, anyway I want the timer to execute something exactly at the time I set it.....but in the code that I have it also executes if i set the time before the current time
Here's the segmant:
private class ButtonResponder implements ActionListener
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
                if (event.getSource() == exitButton)
                              System.exit(0);
               if(event.getSource() == setButton)
                    int hour = Integer.parseInt(hours[hourComboBox.getSelectedIndex()]);
                    int min = Integer.parseInt(minutes[minuteComboBox.getSelectedIndex()]);
                    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
                    calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
                    calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, min);
                    calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
                    Date time = calendar.getTime();
                timer = new java.util.Timer();
                    timer.schedule(new TimerTask()
                         public void run()
                              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "it is time");
                    , time, 5*1000);
               if (event.getSource() == cancelButton)
                    timer.cancel();
          }So if I put zeros in hours and minutes it will execute immediately....how can I make execute at the exact time (so that if the time now is 2:00 and I set it to 1:00 it only executes the next day??

Bump the day if the time is less than current time.

How do you change ring time before giong to viocemail?

How do you change ring time before phone goes to voicemail?

You can configure many call-handling features on the iPhone, but not the number of times an incoming call rings before it goes to voicemail. Only your carrier can change that variable. Wireless service providers uniformly grant incoming calls four rings within roughly 20 seconds before sending them to voicemail. If you find that ring length too short or too long, contact your carrier to adjust it.

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. with the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see the work?

I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. With the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see my page? Can I access Time Machine within an app like Pages? How do I enter Time Machine within the application? It always takes me to the Finder. I apolgise for the mumbo jumbo. I simply do not know how to use Time Machine. It makes sense when I follow the Tutorial but then I lose it.

OK. You've kind of skipped over the reason why you want to go back five hours, but my assumption would be that you've made changes to a Pages file that you want to revert.
There are two ways to tackle this. From Pages itself, open the current version of your document, and from the File menu, click Revert To, and Browse All Versions. You'll then be in the Time Machine interface for that file, and can browse back to the version you want.
Or, outside of Pages, you can select the file (or the folder it was originally in, if you've since deleted it) and enter Time Machine from the TM menu (it sounds like you've already tried this?)

I have a power pc (g5) computer that I will soon be replacing with a current i5 or i7 mini. How do I transfer the Time Machine files from the internal hard drive on the G5 to an external drive that I will later use with the Mini?

Hi, likely the easiest is to just poll the drive & get something like this...
Get MacScan...

But if you have a good external drive already, just clone it.
