How do I rip a CD using my computer's disc drive to an external hard drive?

So I have a bunch of audio CDs that I'd like to put in my itunes library, but I want them to be located on my external hard drive. Any way to do that? I'm using the most updated version of itunes and leopard.

go to finder and copy Music file & then go to your external hard drive and paste it shut update by it self . then open iTunes by pressing option and space and double click iTunes tap and then you have to choose the iTunes library that you want iTunes to play from and finder will open and click on your hard drive and find the file that you copy and open. that it or go to youtube and search for iTunes on a external hard drive and they give you step by step

    You might want to start with a new instandce of iTunes - instructions on how to do this is on the web depending on whether you're running Windows or Appls Software.  The below URL is one site you can use.

    Set up your iTunes to utilize the music files on your external Hard Drive.
    On iTunes pull down menu select Preferences.
    Click on the advanced tab and set the iTunes Media Folder location to your External HD
    Click on the File pull down menu and import the folder containing your music into iTunes.
    Turn on Home Sharing on your computer  - Click on the File pull down menu and click on Home Sharing.
    Turn on Home Sharing on your other device(s)
    On Music on iPad or iPhone, tap on the More tab and if you set things up right, you will see your Library name.  Click on this and if things go as they should, it will connect to your library and you will see your albums, artists, playlists, sogs etc.
    Good luck.

  • Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
    You'll find it here :
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    where ~ is your Home directory.
    If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
    It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
    A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
    TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".

  • HT201317 How can i unlock my phone using this computer?

    How can i unlock my iphone using my computer?

    With the new IOS 7 therer has been what is know as an activation lock in which disables the user to restore the device to default settings without knowing the password to the apple id. Once you have restored the device back to default settings it will then ask you to plug in the apple id password. Once you have verified your identity with the apple id password you will be good to go!
    Good luck.

    -= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
    1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
    2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
    3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
    4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more.  Close the get info window.
    5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
    6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
    7) Close the get info window.

    Hello Drake, I suspect one or more of the Drives needs repairing, but...
    Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?

    Can't imaging something not being covered there.

  • My Mac keeps starting up to the disk utilities screen. Im guessing i need to repair the disk or load my backed up memory but i am unsure of how to do that. I have all my memory backed up on an external hard drive.

    My Mac keeps starting up to the disk utilities screen. Im guessing i need to repair the disk or load my backed up memory but i am unsure of how to do that. I have all my memory backed up on an external hard drive.

    The Disk Utility screen has instructions right on it.
    Just read them and follow the directions.
    Readers can help if you get stuck.
    It opens with something like, "select a disk, volume, or image".
    You click on your drive in the left column, top item.
    The next screen spells out how to do a ( Repair Disk ).
    You have a Macintosh. It will not cut your hand off.
    If something dangerous is coming, it will say stuff like, "this will erase all the data on your drive. Do you want to proceed?"

  • How do I use my airport time capsule extreme as a external hard drive

    How do I access files and save files to my airport time capsule like its an external HD.  How do I access the external HD that is connected to the time capsule?Ai

    The TC is no different to any other network drive... you mount the drive and copy the files to it.. or copy files from it.
    Same with USB drive plugged into the TC.
    BUT.. TC is not suitable for live files.. ie files you are actively editing and working on. It is storage.. not working disk space.. and the USB drive more so.. it is slow.. much slower than same USB plugged into the computer by at least half.
    And USB 2 wasn't that quick to begin with. The TC itself is slow.. although over wireless it is actually wireless that is the hold up.
    Here is what I normally say for this question. It is asked every day.. often several times.
    Store files on the TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
    This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
    The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
    It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
    Major issues.
    1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup. You will also need a USB drive somewhere else in the network to act as target for backups.. and if you use the TC itself over wireless you will experience a new definition of pain and suffering.. slow.. extremely slow..
    (cf Belly of the sarlacc http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sarlacc)
    2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
    3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
    4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
    5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
    6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
    7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.
    Read pondini for some work arounds.

  • How do I install Snow Leopard using another computer?

    My 2009 MacBook meets all the criteria for the Snow Leopard upgrade, but my dvd drive is broken. Every time insert the dvd it is spit out (it is the same for audio cd's as well). I have tried repairing the drive and installing snow leopard using an external dvd drive (with no luck). I need a simple guide for using another computer to do the upgrade. My boyfriend has a newer MacBook Pro and I believe is operating on Lion. I want to use his computer to upgrade mine, is it possible eventhough we are on different operating systems?

  • How can I back-up my photos that are in my iPhoto to an external hard drive without using the iPhoto structure.

    I am attempting to back-up my entire MacBook Pro on an external hard drive before deleting everything from the MacBook Pro. Although I appreciate iPhotos photo structure and organization, I would prefer to back my photos up outside of the iPhotos structure, using “regular files” such as it appears in iPhoto’s “Masters” folder.  However, I would like the Event names that are currently assigned to my iPhotos to remain attached to the photos.  Is there a simple way to do any of this? Would this be a matter of somehow exporting each Event from my iPhoto? THANKS!

    Stay away from the Masters folder. Rooting around in the Library package can damage the Library and is unnecessary and less useful than the supported way to so this.
    Just export the them: File -> Export:

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Remember that the Masters won't contain any of the changes that you made, only the files exactly as copied from the camera.
    Thanks, Terence.  As far as filenames go...does "Album Name and Number" work for keeping my Events together?
