How to eliminate authorization from a PC that crash, hard drive? I want to have available authorizaton for another computer.

Hi,
I had a PC that crash the hard drive.
I want to eliminate the autorization so I can have an available authorization for another computer.
Thanks for your help.
Regards

You don't need to. Wait until you reach maximum of 5 Authorized computers to deauthorize all then re-authorize new ones again. Refer to this article:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

Hi Owe Olsson,
If you have Lightroom 5 Subscription then you can install and activate it on 2 machines. You just have to download Creative Cloud Desktop apps from the below mentioned website and use your Adobe ID and password to activate.

How I can back up my data from macbook pro that its hard drive seems to die soon?

     I need your help guys from the whole world.
I am now in Erbil (North Iraq) and there is no apple authorized resellers or anyone who can fix macs, they can destroy them as they try to repair it ( this is what happened      to me recently with My I phone and I pad). So I am left alone to fix it with your global help I hope.
The issue is, I didn't do back up on my mac book pro for over a year. I woke up 3 days ago, switched my mac and there was this funny pinc ponc noise coming from the lower right hand side of my mac (between track pad and keyboard), the computer was going slow and I wasnt able to do anything even after few restarts. It is always too slow to perform anything and this noise always start after few seconds of starting and keep going. the computer can still function very well on guest account *(safari only) and I don't hear the noise then nor when I press T. But if I try to log in to all my drive or in safe mode I get this noise and none function computer. when I went to disk utility there was message in red to back up my data immediately and take the hard drive to authorized service center.
I checked on internet, you tube and others..and it seems I have faulty hard drive. Since I am here alone and no service center so I think I will replace it myself. But first thing first i need to back up my precious data. I found few ways of doing this and I wonder if you can give me some tips, advise or any other method to do the back up.
1) Transfer data on target mode: I havent done this before but I am thinking to connect my faulty macbook pro to another with firewire, pressing T on the faulty Mac and install Super Duper on the other mac. Then I connect external hard drive to the working mac via USB. And the question is     :      can I transfer the files this way to an external bootable hard drive connected to the working mac     , so the working mac will function as bridge between faulty mac and external hard drive. Also can I do this process through my old none intel based power book(which I am using now) instead of borrowing macbook from friend?
2) Buy new hard drive, open my mac and replace the faulty one. then put the faulty one in external inclosure, connect to refurbished mac and transfer data back. Can I do this? will I need to install the mac os from the CD associated with it before I do transfer?
Is there any other way to do this please?

Hi PlotinusVeritas
where do I download the superdoper please?
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/superduperdescription.html
its here:
Download the free trial now!
This simple software is free and very easy to use, yes, it makes a 100% clone of ALL on your HD, everything.
(assuming its not so dead it wont copy).
you only need the free trial version to clone your HD.
can I download it on guest account? this one I can login and seems to function fine.
Then install same on your guest account, that wouldnt matter, since Superduper clones everything (except the recovery partition which you dont need in your case right now).
LaCie is Seagate (lacie doesnt make HD) , yes, that would be fine, clone your HD ASAP and hope it works.
there is no software fix for HD hardware failure, ......this is why a backup copy of data is so very important all the time, period.

How do I reload all my programs and files from a time capsule after changing hard drive? Also Apple store reloaded with Snow Leopard and not Lion. Will that be a problem? Thank you

Plug the external drive into a computer by usb or whatever box you have available..
When you say blank, is it correctly formatted.. we recommend HFS+ which is Mac OS Extended (jorrnaled)
Make sure you use GUID type disk setup not MBR if it came from PC world.
Copy the files via finder from TC to the external drive.

How to import metadata from Address Book on external hard drive to new laptop running OSX 10.8.3?

My old MacBook died a painful death. I retrieved the hard drive and have it in a portable enclosure that has a USB connection. I can see the old Address Book on it, but when I transfered the Address Book application to my new MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.3, the application will transfer, but it won't open because it is not supported on the newer MacBook. I searched around the old hard drive for any files that could be related to the Address Book contact data. I found metadata files for each of my contacts. I can get the metadata to transfer to the new MacBook, but I can't seem to do anything with it.
I tried using Migration Assistant, doing it manually, trying to import the metadata using "import" feature on the new version of Address Book. Can't seem to find anything that works.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

If you open a contacts database from an earlier version of OS X, the data should be imported automatically. Is that what you tried to do?

How to tranfer photos from iPhoto/Finder to external hard drive?

I read that in order to enable Mac to write to, erase or reformat NTFS devices (my external hard drive), I need to get NTFS-3G. Besides NTFS-3G, I also need Macfuse, which is problematic with Lion. Can anyone please comment, advice or share their experiences? Thanks.

No idea - you actaully have to share details
What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
What format is the external hard drive? What is the exact error message you get?what didn't work about exporting? What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
If you want the iPhoto library to operate on an external drive the way is
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How can I format toshiba canvio USB 3.0 Hard drive (Windows 7 w/U3 software preinstalled) for mac?

Purchased Toshiba part number HDTC605XL3A1 - 500Gb USB 2.0 & 3.0 external 2.5-inch self powered hard drive through Amazon. On two different MacBooks (both Core i5--1 Air and 1 Pro) we can't get the drive to show up using Disk Utility nor can we scan for it/see it with any other available tools in Lion or Snow Leopard.
Any ideas? Toshiba has stopped producing Mac specific USB drives apparently and their technical support can't get it to work. The suggest formatting it on a Windows computer with FAT32 but don't have one easily available.

Hi, have you checked on System Information to make sure the Mac is actually recognizing the hardware? (type system information on spotlight and click USB on the left)
I had a simmilar problem with a Seagate Freeagent Go drive. It showed up on the hardware list for a few secconds and then dissapeared as if I had unplugged it, meanwhile the HDD was still on and spinning. Called Seagate and they told me to do a PRAM & SMC reset, this solved the problem, although it still happens every now and then.
Mac OS X can see NTFS formatted drives too, the only limitation is that it can not write on them (without third party add ons) so I doubt it's a formatting problem.
I'm not sure if you are having the same problem, but you should give it a shot.
SMC Reset
For Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
PRAM Reset
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.
Let me know how it goes.
ps: sorry for my english, it's not my native language!

How do i remove from my desktop the UNTITLED hard drive of Boot Camp?

Its just sitting there, but i doesent to anything, any way to get rid of the icon from the desktop?
tnx
Week 27 17" MacBook Pro 2.16 100GB@7200rpm Glossy 1GB ram Mac OS X (10.4.7) Runing Bootcamp (games), Parallels (applications)

but its a read only, y cant rename the file...
I haven't used Boot Camp, so this is just a guess, but...
I'm guessing you're trying to rename the Book Camp partition when booted from Mac OS X? If so, can you rename it when you're booted from Windows, instead?
If not, I'd suggest asking in the Boot Camp forum. (Or, rather, searching there first if you haven't; asking if you don't find the answer already posted.)
Not that you can't ask here - you're just more likely to get more targeted answers there.

How do I download a move from itunes onto an external hard drive?

For whatever reason, my hard drive onboard does not have enough space for a movie to download. I don't want to take the time to clear the space, since the one thing Apple makes harder than a PC is seeing which files are the biggest for cleaning off hour disk. I have an external drive with plenty of space, but can't seem to get itunes to recognize it as a destination. How can I download my movie onto it swo I can them transfer it to my iPad?

luckily there are 3rd party tools that can help with that:

before downloading the movie, go iTunes > preferences > advanced and point iTunes media folder location to the external.
iTunes will put new additions to your library where ever iTunes media folder location is pointed.

Transfer photos/videos from MacBook Pro to External Hard Drive (not iPhoto)

I've read all the other threads regarding how to transfer photos from iPhoto to an external hard drive (i.e., format your EHD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)), however, I do not believe my situation applies.
In short, I download new photos/videos from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro twice - in two distinct methods. The first method (and the one I favor) is to use the Preview Application to download photos to the MyPictures folder. Once this is done, I revise the name of each photo so that I can tell not only the date but also the event. Once this is done, I then also download the same photos to my iPhoto Library via iPhoto but I don't make any revisions to the file names (I don't know why I continue to download photos into my iPhoto Library since I don't like iPhoto, but I guess I feel like it is a "backup" of sorts).
My problem now is that my internal hard drive is filling up and I must transfer some photos to an External Hard Drive (EHD). I thought the simplest solution was to transfer my iPhoto Library since I don't really use it anyway and many people advise to simply format my EHD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). However, if I do that, my understanding is that I will not be able to then transfer the files to a PC, if I decide in the future to do so. The solution, as suggested by others, was to then format my EHD as "ExFAT". However, if I do that, my understanding is that iPhoto will not function properly.
So my questions include the following:
1. Is there any harm in simply deleting my entire iPhoto Library from my internal hard drive to free up space since I believe I have been downloading all my pictures in a separate location anyway (MyPictures folder)? Or will deleting my iPhoto Library somehow delete these other photos (even though they are not named similarly)?
2. If I decided that transferring my iPhoto Library to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled)-formatted EHD was the best solution, what would my options be if in the future I wanted to transfer the photos to a PC? Is that option lost forever? Or could I somehow transfer the photos from the EHD to the MacBook Pro, then re-format the EHD to ex-FAT, copy back the photos from the MacBook Pro to the ex-FAT-formatted EHD and then transfer the photos/videos to my PC? Is there an alternative better solution?
3. Any other suggestions?
Thank you

1 - no - if you do not like or use iPhoto then yu have no need for the iPhoto library - it is sefl contained and deleting it will not affect anything except iPhoto
2 - you can export photos form iPhoto to any format drive - it is only the iPhoto library that has drive format restrictions
Reformatting a drive totally erases it so you can not simply change the format of a drive without removing everything on it
3 - deciede what you want - if you use iPhoto then it has no cross platform capability and nothing you do in iPhoto is directly of use on a PC - you have to export from iPhoto to a volume that a PC can read
Since you do not like or use iPhoto and it will not do what you want I have no idea why you are messing with it at all

?? How do I archive my email on my own hard drive ??

?? How do I archive my email on my own hard drive ??
I have lost all of my past email due to provider hard drive crashes on Hotmail, Yahoomail and Netscapemail over five years.
I thought I solved this problem by having an IMAP provider and Thunderbird. Nope, Thunderbird somehow sees me as a brand new customer after six months of files.
I want my email saved on my own harddrive and saved automatically to an archive file;

Just create custom mailbox folders in Mail and store all your mail there, organized however you want. Type "IMAP" in the search box of Mail Help for specific instructions about how to keep local copies of your mail for that kind of accounts. Ask if you need more info.
You could do the same in Thunderbird, BTW. This is a server reliability problem, not a mail client problem. Most mail clients, if not all, allow you to do what you want, but you need to be aware of it and configure the application appropriately. Look at the following thread for an example of someone with a similar experience to yours using Mail:

Well first off you'll need another browser, Firefox allows many other search engine choices, Chrome is made by Google so that's no help really.

Once you have Firefox installed (and check the status of your plug-ins) you can search online for alternate search engines, there are hundreds.
Duck Duck Go is very privacy oriented.

You can find more here

Once you find one you like and visit the site you can add it to the Firefox search selection like this
You also can remove Google if you wish totally or just not use it.
Firefox also has Ad Block Plus, Ghostery, BetterPrivacy add-ons which combined and enabled will stop the trackers of Google and others.
