How do I set up iTunes so that it accesses my music & movies from the iTunes folders on the external hard rive in the usb port?

Recently deleted the iTunes folder on laptop to free up memory after I moved everything to external hardrive. Everything downloads from iTunes properly to the external hardrive; but I can not connect my ipad now and access my movies. Wha do I need to do so I can transfer movies back and forth to my ipad. When I connect my ipad it says it is registered t another library.

This article will help you.
1. Yes, you can trash the original folder. If you have a large media library, then yes you should free up a good chunk of space. However, you must also empty the trash. You can't just leave it in the trash or it will take up space.
2. Once you select the new media folder in iTunes as the article tells you, I believe all new downloaded media will automatically go to that new folder.

Our hard drive on our 27in Mac crashed and was replaced. Is there any way to get our music/movies from our iTunes account back?

Our hard drive crashed (it was the one that was recalled) and Apple replaced it. Is there a way to access our iTunes account and get our music/movies back? Or do we have to re-download everything? What about music we purchased?

Perhaps without a lecture level 10, it has long been a basic requirement to backup one's computer. Of course who would have thought one would have to backup something that is downloaded from a premium service like Apple's iTunes with the iCloud.
Much of the media purchased from Apple appears to be redownloadable, except for things that are arbitrarily not (because of licensing or whatever, but these reasons are not apparent to us, the lowly customer).
This is hard to understand until one has a problem, and finds the article listed above, or tries to enter a support ticket and ends up in the forum with someone who has obviously answered too many questions.
So how about we ask that a product manager at Apple consider a novel new feature - provide an online locker for movies purchased with real money through iTunes.
Let's call it iCloud and tell the world about it!

HT1449 After moving music and movies from my MacBook Air to an external hard drive, do I create a new iTunes music and media folder on my computer then add more music and movies, then will I be able to move the computer music/media to the hard drive musci

I need to move the music and movies from my MacBook Air (original) to an external hard drive, after I do this, do I create a new music folder and media folder on my computer to load music/movies in via the dedicatd external drive and then would I be able to move the newly imported to the external drive which would be my main site of storage?

No, do it all in one go and henceforth only use the library located on the external drive.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system to an external hard drive utilizing the Time Machine application. when I am doing this, will the data on the external drive that I am using be erased?

I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system in order to upgrade to a newer OS. I will be using an external hard drive to do this and there is already data on it. To complete the backup, i will be using the Time Machine application. Does this application wipe out all of the existing data on the external hard drive, or will it create a new "folder" for the backup?
thank you

No, but as steve359 states you should use a dedicated hard drive for backups. It you need a temporary backup then you can use the drive provided it has sufficient space for all your data on the hard drive.
When Time Machine finds that the drive has data on it already it may decide to erase the drive before continuing, which is another reason to use a dedicated drive.

How can I transfer the music files from my iTunes ver: 9.0.? on my external hard drive to my new laptop with the latest version of iTunes?

A few years ago I had copied my iTunes, ver:9.0.?, from my old laptop tom my external hard drive. The music on it was already loaded onto my other devices. My old computer crashed andI bought a new one, put iTunes on it and kept it updated. The problem is I forgot to keep the iTunes on my ecternal hatd drive updated. I tried to open the external hard drive iTunes but received a error with something to the effect that there was a newwerversion of iTune. I was hoping to either put the external Itunes music on my device. How can I go about that now?

Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

How to proceed on transferring the content of an external hard drive into the time capsule.

I just bought a new MBP and a 2T time capsule but i don’t know how to proceed on transferring the content of an old external hard drive into the brand new time capsule.
The old external hard drive is a carbon copy of another external HD which was my time machine backup but unfortunately someone stole it from me… so I was thinking about transferring the content from the old external hard drive to the time capsule and then set time capsule as the new time machine backup.
Is there anybody whose can give me a hand and tell what is the best to do?
Thanks
sb

Configure Time Machine preferences. Be sure to remove the external drive from the Exclude list.

How do I set it up so that when I reply to a website through Firefox, it is sent through Google and not Outlook

I use Google for my email server. When I am searching the web on Firefox, I want to reply to a "Contact Me" prompt from the website.....in that case, how do I set Firefox up so that it replies via Google and not Microsoft outlook?

Click on Tools at the top of the page and go to Options; choose the Applications tab. Scroll down until you see "mailto" on the left, under Content type (or type it in the Search box) then click to the right on "Use Microsoft Outlook (default)". A scrolling box will open up giving you different choices.
Choose what you want and click "OK".

I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?

I think I have it working on my iPhone 5. But, I do not see how I can control the exit point that I would like for the VPN. Are all the exit points shown in the VPN setting now going to work with Open VPN, or do they remain PPTP? If I am reading correctly, they look like they remain PPTP. If I cannot control the exit point for open VPN, which exit point is the default in the profile you provided me?I note that Open VPN Connect does not work with any of the new 64 bit devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the new iPad MIni. Is there any chance that you guys will come up with an update for your app so that open VPN can be made to work on all iOS devices? That would be nice, particularly if the Open VPN Connect app does not give me a choice of exit points.Thanks,

Just a quick note to tell you that Open VPN has updated their app so that it is compatible with 64 bit ARM devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini Retina.That does not resolve the problem of how to easily choose among the various possibilities for the exit server. We need to find an easy way to choose.

Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting
I recommend you try to adjust to 29 and see if you can't make it work for you before you downgrade to a less secure and soon outdated version of Firefox.
Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:
*Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] to bring back the old design. Learn more here: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]]
*Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/the-addon-bar/ Add-on Bar Restored] to bring back the add-on bar. Learn more here: [[What happened to the Add-on Bar?]]

My husband got a new ipad and set up his apple id without looking into the implications of that. Now I want to sync this ipad with our itunes so we can access it on here, but our itunes has a different apple id. Any way to do this?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

How do I set up a template that works for multiple folder levels

I want to segregate groupings of pages on my site because
they focus on specific content areas. The template that I created
works fine for pages in the root but if I try to create a
template-based page in a sub-folder then I get all kinds of "not
founds" on includes, css files, etc.
How do I set up a template that will cover both the root
pages and sub-folder pages?
TIA,

You use root relative links in your includes and CSS links.

How do I set up calendar events that will be for another time zone? My events shift once I travel

How do I set up calendar events that will be for another time zone? My events shift once I travel. The same is true when I am traveling and in another time zone, how do I best set up my events so they are in the correct time slot upon my return?

Basically, if your client does not have a Mac then don't use iWeb to create the site. iWeb is Mac only and if a client wishes to make alterations, then they need the domain file.
If your client needs to update on a weekly basis, then why not consider using one of the online website creation packages where you can log in from any Mac or PC. This would be simpler and there are lots out there - Microsoft Office Live or Google or something like http://www.wix.com where you can create a site and use a domain name with it.
Look at the alternatives before using iWeb.

Other members of my family are able to access my ".me" e-mail account. How do I set my account so that only I am able to access that account?

Are you sharing the same iCloud account with your family members and they all have access to the password?
If so, that's why. iCloud accounts are not designed to be shared if you want to keep your email, contacts, calendars etc. seperate.

How do I set pages up so that I can type a script for a radio play

here we go, that is if I'm not driven mad by the process of trying to work out how to use this help thing.
how do I set pages up so that I can type a script for a radio play ie the character then as an indented bit what they say

Here's a sample, using what should be a familiar script to any radio drama buff, and showing a few of the features you'll want to incorporate into your template.
Features noted by arrows:
This is the "First line indent" margin stop, in this case, set to produce a 'hanging indent'. This stop sets the starting position of the first line of a Paragraph.
Left margin stop: This stop sets the starting position of all lines in a paragraph except the first.
When setting margins, set this one first, as it will drag the First line indent stop with it when moved. After setting this one (by dragging it to the position on the ruler where you want it to be), drag the rectangle (First line stop) left as far as it will go.
Right margin stop.
Running Header: This is a combination of text that appears on every page, plus the page number / page count—very useful information when someone drops his script. (Typed here, but a combination of typing and inserting the two number calculators from the Insert menu in the actual template.)
Tab character. Used to move the first line of the dialogue into alignment with the rest of that paragraph. The Left margin stop also acts as a Tab stop.
Paragraph break (made by pressing the return key). After a Paragraph break, the next line of the script will start at the left margin of the page. To break a long monologue into smaller blocks, use a 'soft return', made by pressing Shift-return, as I've done twice here...
...to produce an empty line without creating a 'new paragraph' (or in this case, a new item on the current list.
Those are the basics for producing the body of your script.

Barry
