How do I find the address of my usb ports so that I can connect a telescope to the macbook. I have tried various commands on terminal and all I get is 'directory or command not recognised'.
The telescope instruction says open a Terminal and put in ls/dev/* and other such things and all I get back is that none of them are recognised.

Why don't you call the telescope company for support and let them explain it to you. Usually there is software involved with those types of telescopes and if that software doesn't support Mac, it won't matter how or what USB port you plug it into because no drivers or anything will load for it.

Up until approx 2 months ago I could select video clips downloaded from my camera and e-mail them from Iphoto 9.4.3. This no longer works. I have tried dragging to my desktop and exporting to my desktop. I am not sure what has changed. Any ideas?
Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

My movies' audio isnt 5.1 as the description says. when I check out their info it says they are 2 channel. I have tried with two movies already and the audio description said Dolby 5.1
Actually, try this instead. On the apple tv, under settings > Audio > Dolby digital
Change it From AUTO (default) to ON
That worked for me. All my eyetv encodes have stereo and 5.1 tracks. For some reason the auto option forces stereo. Setting it to ON forces the 5.1.
Everything sounds nice again! It's just stupid that apple puts AUTO for the default and that setting results in stereo not 5.1. -

How do I add a "file folder" to my TC so that I can save files directly to the TC?
I am trying to figure out how I can add a "File Folder" to my TC so that I can save files directly to it? The only folder it displays is "Data" which is where my bac ups save...
Double click on the "Data" folder in the Finder under the SHARED heading, and then click the gear icon at the top of the window and select New Folder.
You can name this folder anything you wish and also create as many folders as you wish.
If you are also using the Time Capsule drive for Time Machine backups, it is not really recommended that you "mix" regular files with Time Machine backups because there will be a struggle for space on the drive at some point.
If you have plenty of free space on the Time Capsule drive, you may be OK with keeping a portion dedicated for regular files. -
Unable to update my facebook contacts with my iphone 4S IOS 7 version. Have tried setting>facebook> update contacts it does nothing
Same problem here. Just added a friend on Facebook and I'm trying to find a way to make him show up in my contacts list. I tried the "Update Contacts" mentioned above, also logged out of Facebook in the settings and logged back in and tried to update again and he's still not turning up.
While looking into this I also noticed a bunch of contacts who don't have duplicates and whose info seems only to be coming from my Google account although I'm friends with them on Facebook and I'd like to have both sets of info available in one place.
So something with the syncing is not working right.
(Also working with 4S & iOS 7)
Edit - ended up in this thread through a search and only just now noticed it's probably in the wrong place in "iPhone Hardware". Anyway if anyone has any pointers that would be greatly appreciated, if not I'll take this to a more appropriate sub-forum.

hi I have been given my sons macbook 13'' A1181 it has a brocken screen so I have linked it to my dell screen and only get his old screen saver and the arrow but where ever I click nothing opens up It is my first time with an apple computer could anybody advise?
You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. -

I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes Version 11.4.1 and still cannot access. I continue to get the Error 7 Windows Error 193 and now I am getting the Apple Mobile Device failed to start. I can't access any of my music I HAVE PURCHASED. What to do?
I am getting the same error message - error 7, Windows error 193 running iTunes on a PC Laptop (HP) which has been running iTunes previously for at least 2 years.
I followed the Apple support page and uninstalled (in order) all Apple programmes specified, rebooted, then re-installed. Two additional errors crop up in re-installation, the first one is to do with Apple Mobile Support Device Services. It seems that this might be rectified by plugging in said devices before finishing the re-install. The second reads iTunesHelper was not installed correctly please re-install iTunes. This persists. I cannot uninstall iTunesHelper using the Control Panel, but I can delete it using Windows. However, after re-installing again, it still won't run and the original error comes back. I've downloaded and uninstalled 15 times now and this is taking far too long to be acceptable.
