How do I transfer files from a flash drive to iMac. I get a folder with "no name" which I can live with but I can't find any way to make the actual physical transfer of the files to the iMac.
How do I transfer files from a flash drive to my new iMac? I get a folder with "no name" that I can live with but I can't find a way to transfer the flass drive files to to iMac hard drive.
What happens when you try to drag & drop the files?

I have a silver Apple TV. I just purchased a new PC with Windows 7 on it. Now my apple tv won't communicate with the new PC. Is there any way to fix this or will it only work with systems up to Windows Vista?? Please help.
I seem to be stalking you tonight AC
Or vice versa ;-)
I'm actually quite peeved about all this iCloud stuff, shafting of MobileMe members with no clarity about long term availability of features many pay for above and beyond e-mail/contacts/calendars (my family pack renewed a couple of weeks ago, this is just like the .Mac transition debacle), US only rollouts of redownloading music purchases to iTunes (like the AppleTV global content apartheid we see), continual need to upgrade to latest hardware to run iOS 4/5, older pre Core 2 Duo machine unable to run Lion.......there's a pattern and I'm getting rather fed up with Apple dumping support for things.
Oh and while I'm at it how about the situation that those who've purchased using multiple Apple IDs cannot use the Cloud for more than one ID at a time, and changing disables the ability to change back for 90 days - I'm not one but there are many users who have more than one ID because they've changed e-mail addresses or have devices used by more than one family member.
With all the hoo-hah surrounding Sony getting hacked, I'm not honestly sure I want my stuff in the Cloud for Apple or anyone else to peruse.

I haven't encrypted an email in over two years now and don't really need it. I'm not sure that is the reason for my inability to forward in-line pictures. In addition I'm very limited in the formatting options available when I compose an email. Anybody have a clue?
Thanks.PGP turns off HTML composition.
Tools menu (alt+T) > Account settings > Compositions and Addressing and turn on HTML composition. (it is the first option on the pane) -
I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?
You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook?
How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook - the drive is showing it has over 3GB of info on it but none of the files are showing up in finder? I had backed up my iTunes library on the flash drive about a year and a half ago before I switched from a dell to a MacBook pro.
What I found works for me is to make sure iTunes keeps the music files organzied in the iTunes Media folder according to album, artists, etc. and that it copies the music files there when adding them to the library. That way, if something happens to the library, the raw files can always be re-imported again.

In iMovie 11 small gaps in clips seem to transition nicely, but how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps? I can't find a way to move the clips together.
I'm intrigued by this!
Can you explain further what the gaps look like when you export the movie. Are there black spaces, for example? You mentioned earlier that "it jumps quickly between clips that I edited which gives it a jerky appearance at those transitions". So you are possibly just seeing a change in sudden movement when moving from one clip to another.
I've noticed when shooting with my AVCHD camcorder that if I quickly move the camera straight after pressing the record button to stop recording, a jerky movement appears when played back. This is because the camera is still recording for a fraction of a second after pressing the button, that is, there is a slight delay before actual recording stops on the hard drive (unlike a tape based camera).
I simply edit out these annoying movements. When hovering the pointer over the beginning or end of a clip, a small icon appears, shaped like a left/right arrow. Click on the icon and a small section of the clip end (or beginning if editing the start point) will be partly encased in an orange border. You can then drag the border's handle inwards in increments of one frame, up to one second duration. Repeat this if you wish to trim more than one second. I find this better for short trimming than just dragging the clip ends inwards and using Trim to Selection from the pop-up menu, as it is quicker and has more precision. To enable this feature, in iMovie > Preferences - Browser tab, check the box labelled "Show Fine Tuning controls".
Of course, this may not be what you are seeing. But I can't really envisage what you mean by "how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps", as there should be no gaps, as explained by AppleMan1958. Could you please provide some more information, or include a screenshot of what you are describing.
To take a screenshot, press the key combination Command+Shift+4 - a crosshair will appear on screen. Drag this diagonally across the section you want to capture. A .png image file will appear on the Desktop. When posting here you will see a camera icon in the reply window's menu bar. Click on the camera icon then follow the steps provided (it lets you navigate to the image). Sorry if you already know this!

this is ridiculous! how do you keep the size of the picture for a contact in the address book that small? it is usually a piece of a lager picture... any way to make the size of the pictures the 224 KB they want? I always thought the application cropped the picture to fit their requirements...

Events are organised strictly on date and time, as read by iPhoto from the Exif data in the Photo. You cannot manually sort.
Create Albums. You can do much more organising with Albums, use Photos from different events, place them as you will. Best of all, Albums use no disk space at all. They simply reference the file on the Hard Disk. So a pic can be 1, 10 or 100 Albums with no wasted disk space whatever.

How do I copy iTunes from external hard drive to iMac?
How do I copy iTunes from external
Hard drive to iMac?if your main library is on your external, then when not connected, you wont have access to it.
so first decide, where do you want to keep the files.
E.g. In my case, I keep my files on "C:\iTunes Music".
I have a backup on external "Z:\iTunes Backup". If I format my laptop, this is how I restore everything.
Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced.
The iTunes music folder in selects as "C:\iTunes Music"
I have checked Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized, and also Copy Files to iTunes Music folder when adding to ibrary". Click OK to save and close preferences.
My iTunes list is now empty. I go to file, and select "Add Folder to Library". From that window, I select "Z:\iTunes Backup". iTunes then copies everything from the backup to "C:\iTunes Music". For me, backup is backup, I dont need it to play music.
Now decide this. If you do not want to keep music on C:, but want to only connect the external to update music on your ipod, do this:
In preferences, set iTunes Music folder as "Z:\iTunes Backup", and uncheck Copy files to iTunes Music folder, since they are already there. Then in files, select Add folder to library again to build and update the list. -
Trouble opening a just created Pages file.....error message says I need a newer version of Pages......Apple Store says I have version 5.0.......opening an older Pages file it says I have version 4.3.......can not find any way to try another upgrade to 5.0........please help......
ThanksPersonally, I would not recommend deleting/removing the iWorks 09 folder for several reasons: one is that the new versions have had several functionalities removed and until you decide that you can work with the new one and do not miss any features the older version had, I would leave the old one in place. Personally, I will not be using the new versions.
The second reason is that you can accomplish what you want using a different approach: simply open a Get Info window of your document and choose which version of Pages you want this to open in - you can also stipulate that all docs like this are opened with whichever particular version.
FWIW: Once you have edited an old document in the new Pages version, you can no longer open it in the older version. However, you can still export it to the old version. -
I shot some video on my iphone and can not find a way to upload the videos to my Mac.
I shot some video on my iphone and can not find a way to upload the videos to my Mac. I can not find anything in the iPhone manual or in these discussions. I am sure there is an easier way than emailing each file to myself. Help!
Connect your iPhone to your Mac and start the Image Capture app. It's in the Utilities folder which is in the Appliations folder on your Mac.

my wifi password changed but I can't find a way to enter the new password....I keep getting a message "unable to join network" (since it has the old password in it)
Thanks!!! I actually used the "reset network settings" process but my guess is that I will now have to re-enter passwords for the networks I use...seems they should have made an easy way to simply change a password for a specific network since a lot of folks change them regularly for security reasons....thanks for the responses!!!

I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks
Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

Is there any way to make the sent folder in mail list emails in the "to" order instead of "from".
Sure open Sent folder.
Just above first message is an icon titled Sort By Date followed by a downward pointing arrow.
Click on the arrow and select "To" from the list.

On my iPad Mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo). I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.
My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
Appreciate suggestions.
[The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?
