    how do i download movie from macbook air directly to icloud?

    You want to download (I assume you meant upload) it to iCloud?  If that's what you mean, you can't.  iCloud will already have movies purchased from the iTunes store, which can be redownloaded (depending on your location) from your purchased list.  Movies from other sources cannot be stored in iCloud, except digital copies or purchased DVDs that are compatible with iTunes.

  • How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

    How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

    If you add an item to a slideshow, you'll usually see 2 entries for that image in the assets panel - one represents the thumbnail, and the other represents the larger 'hero' image.
    It sounds like you may have added the same image to your slideshow twice. You can select one of the hero images or thumbnail images in your slideshow and use the delete key to remove it. Then the extra 2 entries in the assets panel should disappear.

  • How do you remove recipients from the To list?

    Say you want to send an email to multiple recipients. You add a few recipients to the To list but then change your mind about including one of them. How do you remove one from the list? So far the only way I can see is go cancel the whole message and start again.

    Touch the persons name you wish to remove. It will highlight in blue. Then hit the destructive backspace (delete) key on the keyboard.

  • HT4314 how do you remove friends from your friend list

    how do you remove friends from game center list

    I am having the same problem! And I dont understand why they changed things in Game Center...I believe it was back with the ios 6 or 7 update and the whole look changed. There is no place in the app to change things if  you want to, like picture or anything. All you can do is add a "status" which I personally find ridiculous.
    My bigges issue is that I have a friend who does NOT play a certain game anymore. This friend is taking up space in an area that I would like to fill with someone who DOES play and when I went through the motions of "unfriending" it takes them out of my list on Game Center but they are STILL there on the game in question. Makes no sense. Gone should be gone. There is no web site for Game Center and no real place to address these issues...

  • How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?  I started some projects on my MacBook Pro but would rather have the larger working area provided on the iMac large 27 inch screen. 

    Hi there rainyri!
    The easiest way for you to do this is to transfer the information to an external drive as an intermediary, then transfer the information from your drive to the internal drive on your iMac. We have an article that explains the steps for doing this, and it can be found here:

    How do you remove ebooks from your ipad? Not just arcive them but get rid of them completly?

    That all depends on which eBook app you're using. If you archive a book using the Kindle app, it is removed from your iPad. It's still available in your Kindle account should you ever wish to access it again but it's not taking up space on your device.

  • How to unistall windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp?

    Dear all,
    I'm from new macbook user. how can i remove windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp? After removing windows 7, can i use free partition (windows 7 bootcamp) from Mac OS?

    In OSX use the BootCamp Assistant again to revert the partitioning back to one single OSX-volume.
    That deletes the Windows partition and reassigns the used diskspace back to OSX.
