  • How do you eject your iOS device from photos?  Right clicking does not bring up the menu.

    I noticed there is no intuitive way to eject the iOS device from Photos.  No up arrow, and right clicking does not bring up an eject option.  I do not want to enlarge the "other" space of my iOS device by not ejecting it properly.

    I too have noticed this.  Yesterday after downloading photos from my iPhone 5s to Mac Photos for the first time since iOS and OSX updates on the weekend.  I do not have the option to sync this phone to iTunes when connected ticked so only Photos opens.  After download I wanted to eject the phone but noted no eject arrow in Photos, I went to a new Finder window and was surprised to see the phone was not listed under Devices so I had to launch iTunes and allow a sync to complete before I could eject.  This is plainly not right, the industry and Apple themselves tell us constantly that we must "Eject" before removal of a USB device.  If not one usually gets a dialogue box to say the device was not properly ejected.

  • How do you set up usb device (remote for ppt) to work with iPad2

    How do you set up a USB Device (a remote) to work with an iPad 2?  I have the digital camera connector but when I plug the remote in, the device is not recognizable.  We are trying to run a slideshow on the iPad using the remote to advance the slides.  Thus, the viewer does not have to swipe to advance to the next slide. 

    ...I have the digital camera connector...
    Simple answer: no, you can't use that remote with the iPad.
    The Camera Connection Kit (CCK) is only for importing pictures.  It is not a general purpose USB port so will not work with just any USB device, other than cameras and USB flash drives (but only to import pictures.)

  • How do I eject the install disk on the mini mac?

    In wiping the mini mac, it keeps looping to the erase and install.  It won't allow me to shut down or eject the disk to put in the program disk.  When the screen gets to the Install Mac OS X, it won't show any disk (the Mac Mini) to install it.  I used the Utilities to erase and install, but I can't go any further.  It should install with a system lower than the OS X Yosemite.

  • How do you stop an iOS device from disabling itself when the wrong passcode is entered too many times?

    At my school we use iPads for all our work etc. However, the idiots in my form grabbed my iPad and googled ****, which got me kicked off the school Wi-Fi of course. To stop this happening again, i put a passcode lock on, but now it amuses them to continually enter the wrong password which disables it, and then I cannot use it in lessons and I can't get access to my notes etc. This is really affecting my performance at school and the teachers are lazy idiots who wont do anything about it. Is there any way to stop this other than jailbreaking my iPad, or killing them?

    So what exactly do you propose I do when i'm trying to work on it in a class, and then the iPad is wrenched out of my hands by my ‘pleasant group of peers’? (I’ll refrain from using the term ‘Idiots in my form’ seeing as you know them so well, and are therefore able to pass judgment on their general conduct.) With regards to your comment about showing respect to my elders, I usually do, however if a teacher chooses to allow the children in their conduct to do whatever they please, and cause as much trouble as possible, I will refer to them as lazy, because their behaviour as a teacher equates to the definition of lazy (1 unwilling to work or use energy: he was too lazy to cook. 2 characterized by lack of effort or activity: they were enjoying a really lazy holiday. 3 showing a lack of care). Also, i’d like to emphasize that my poor performance is a DIRECT result of my the iPad being disabled. That would be because ALL of my work is on there, along with all of my textbooks and most of the other educational tools that we use. It may be easy for you to slam me for sounding like a whiny little ****, however imagine if all of your learning material was routinely removed from your person in a lesson, and you had to work with others, and make notes, which you will later have to type up, during valuable revision or homework time. After all of that disagreement with you, I do accept that I shouldn’t threaten to kill people, however I would like to stress that you may need to reassess your sense of humor, as you have obviously failed to detect that I was making a light hearted joke. I am sure that I do not possess the physical and metal requirements in order to kill someone.

  • HT4889 how do you import itunes and photos from my old mac book to my new macbook air

    I have just purchased a new mac book air and want to transfer my itunes and photos form my old to new. Is there any easy way to do this as most of the tutorials seem to want to move everything and my old mac book is 512GB but my new air is 256GB solid state. I do not want to move everything ( except for itunes) but it seems to be difficult to select bits and pieces. Also is there a need to transfer all the user information form my old to new or can I start fresh? And can you still use the old mac and thenew mac with the same itunes library?

    Hi pjktl,
    The document that you are referencing shows screen shots under the Firewire/Thunderbolt section that shows how you can selectively migrate parts of the Macintosh HD. Skip down to that section and see if that is what you are looking for.
    I don't see why you can't have the same library on both Macs, but I don't know if there is any way to keep them in sync, and you need to select one of them to sync your iTunes content with (this does not include Photos, as they are kept in the iPhone library. My husband and I sync our devices with the iTunes library on his Mac, but sync our photos with the iPhoto library on my Mac. You just have to make sure you have the device profile screens set up correctly for each device in each library).
    Also, you can set up the User information as new on the new Mac
    Cheers,
    GB

  • How do you move an iPhoto library from a previous Mac?

    I copied my iPhoto library from my MacBook onto a Passport and moved it onto the desktop of the new iMac. When I try to choose File - Import, the iPhoto library is greyed out, not available as a choice.
    Any ideas?

    post in the iPhoto forum for a chance at getting the fastest answer.  Good luck

  • How do you "eject" a camera or such device from the photos app after import?

    How do you "eject" a camera or such device from the photos app after import?

    Thanks for your answer. It certainly seemed that since there was no longer a control-click option in Photos for a mounted device that a hot dismount or eject would be OK. Should there be any caveats to the user who selected a Finder option not to show Hard disks, External discs or CDs DVDs and iPods--or is this still uniformly true across all devices (old iPads, Firewire, etc.)?
    This is only true for devices that are not accessible in the Finder. For iPhones, iPads, newer iPods. If a device shows up in Disk Utility as a mounted disk, you have to eject it properly.
    But the newer iOS devices are not mounted as a disk, that a user can write to or eject.
    For example, I just connected my iPhone 5s. It shows in Photos and iTunes in the sidebar, but Disk Utility does not show it as a mounted device, so there is no way to eject it.

  • How do you eject speakers properly from your mac?

    How do you eject speakers properly from your mac?

    speakers (3.5 mm out) do not matter how they are removed, just unplug them and you will be fine
    when this happens, Mac Core Audio (you dont need to know about it, but an important part) will look for another output device, and your internal speakers are likely to start playing
    if you use USB or FireWire speakers, there is a possibiliy that they use some sort of strange arbitrary driver
    in that case, go to system preferences> sound> output> and select something else than the speakers in question.
    then you should be able to unplug at will.

  • How do you eject a device?

    After nano sync, how do you Eject prior to disconnect?

    I respectfully disagree that if someone wants to safely remove an iPod from the computer the best advice would start with:
         1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
    And I'm certain that:
          2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
    will do nothing to help.
    And:
         4. Press COMMAND-E.
    is not going to do much without a context either.

  • How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

    How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone?  I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

    I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
    If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
    So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

  • How can I see my USB device in the measuremen​t&automati​on explorer?

    I'm trying to use an USB-device with LabView7.0.
    I followed the manual "using NI-VISA3.0 to control your USB device" which I found on the NI-webpage.
    I generated an .inf file using the VISA driver developement wizard and installed it in the INV folder of my system (I'm using Win2000).
    The following problems occured: after I connect my USB device the "add new hardware wizard" pops up and aks for a driver for the new hardware. when I direct it to the folder with the generated .inf file it doesn't accept this file as a driver.
    second: the USB device doesn't appear in the measurement&automation explorer. I assume that as long as my device doen't appear there it is not recognized by NI-VISA and the comm
    unication from LV wouldn't work?
    How can a make my USB device visible in the meas.&aut. explorer?
    Regards
    Tobias

    Tobias,
    In the VISA Driver Development Wizard, you are required to specify the Vendor and Product ID. These numbers are what Windows will use to determine whether a specific driver is appropriate for a given device. If these numbers do not match between your device and the Windows driver (INF file) that you generate, you will see the behavior that you describe. Check to make sure that you are using the appropriate values. Also, did you right click on the INF file and install it as directed in step 2.2.2?
    Page 5-87 of the VISA Programmer's reference manual specifies how to do a viOpen to a USB device in RAW mode, but you still need the same sorts of Product ID and Mfg ID that you needed for the INF file generation. Furthermore, if you are communicating with
    your instrument directly, you will need to know exactly what command set it expects, so make sure you get that from the manufacturer as well. Finally, I want to mention that if this device complies with the USBTMC standard, then none of this is necessary--the steps above are for setting up a RAW USB connection. See this link for information.
