HT1229 Can i move the iPhoto folder onto an external HDD? Will it work the same way after moving onto an external HDD? do I then need to have the external connected at all times, even when I don't use iPhoto?

I have a macbook pro, but the amount of pictures I have now exceeds 500GB
I want to have all the pictures in iPhoto, so I could see them and edit them in iPhoto.
Which means... I need the iPhoto file folder in an external HDD to use iPhoto that way.
Can i move the iPhoto folder onto an external HDD?
Will it work the same way, as if the iPhoto folder is on the internal drive?

yes
yes
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

I appear online at all times, even when my compute...

This has been an issue for a while, and after extensive googling I can't find any solution. As the title says, for some reason, even when my computer is off, I am always shown as online in skype. People message me or call me expecting me to speak to them, and get very unhappy when I don't respond until hours later. I've entered the command showing all instances of my account being logged in, and mine is the only one, I've also entered the /remotelogout command, and it does not solve the issue. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I'm using windows 7 Ultimate, but I doubt that has much to do with anything.

To add my two pennies worth to the permanently online discussions....
I have been a Skype user for many years on desktop & laptop PCs, following it through various Windows versions up to and including Windows 8.1 update 1.
Up until recently when you quit Skype by right clicking its icon on the right hand status bar (by the
date & clock), this would take you offline and no-one would then try to contact you. Similarly, when
you shut down your computer or router, you were marked as offline. All very sensible to my mind,
since the Skype client was then no longer running.
Now it seems that no matter what I do, unless I physically change my status to invisible or offline
in the client before shutting it down, I remain online to my contacts, who then eventually get
annoyed when they try to contact me.
Even if all of my devices are switched off - I still show on-line.
Turn off my router? Makes no difference I am still shown online to my contacts....
I have searched the internet and the Skype communities for a cure to no avail. Lots of people with
the the same or similar problems, but no answers that provide a definitive cure that works.
I have tried unlinking my Skype and Windows accounts - no difference.
I have tried the /remotelogout command in case I'm online with more than one Skype client - not
likely since all the other devices it runs on are switched off. Understandably, made no difference to
the problem.
/showplaces confirmed that only one client signed in.
I have tried most of the suggested cures in the various forums to no avail.
The only thing that seems to give a half a-----d answer so far is to leave all clients as invisible until I want to receive calls. Then of course I've got to remember to mark myself as online, and to switch back to invisible before quitting Skype or turning off the device.....
Modern technology is such a wonderful time-saving thing....

Unable to connect to proxy server error when I don't use a proxy?

Hi everyone, I had an error connecting to the internet and it turned out that my proxy settings had been changed on System Preferences to connect to a proxy. I noticed that I could access certain websites like Google, Facebook and Twitter but the rest of the web was a no go. Thing is, I'm the only person that uses this computer. Anyway, I changed my settings to stop connecting to that proxy and it made me think: how did my settings get changed in the first place? For one thing I have definitely set it so that you need to put in my Admin password in order to change such settings. Could this be some form of spyware/online tracking attempt on my computer? Do you guys have any suggestions on what I can do to prevent this in the future or what I can do to make sure my computer is completely secure (if it isn't already)?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) on the advice of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Pb of autonomy when I don't use my ipod

Hello,
I have an ipod mini 2G since 2 years and when I don't use it, the autonomy is low : only 3 days. I fully load it and after 3 days without use, no more battery.
This issue exists since the beginning. I've have already changed the battery and regurlarly updated software without improvement,
is it normal or not ?
The autonomy when I use it seems correct : about 12 h maybe more,
Regards,
Gilles

I just don't understand one thing. Before last week I had no problems about it (I had wifi all the time, even when I did'nt use my iphone, and now (when I came back from holiday) it does'nt go anymore. So buying a iphone wasn't a good idea. I have wifi, but if I don't use my iphone it is not possibel to reach me because the wifi falls off.
I understand that it is for saving the battery. But I still don't understand that it stops working (my wifi).

Can I move iCloud Drive folder to my Time Capsule?

Can I move iCloud Drive folder to my Time Capsule?
I have 250Gb storage on my Macbook, but plan to by the 500Gb storage plan from Apple. To do that I'd need to used the iCloud Drive folder on an larger external hard drive, instead of my own Macbook...
Does anyone knows if that can be done?
I also use Drop Box and it's local drive can be 'move' to an external HD easily...
Tks!

The iCloud Drive folder is is stored in your user library, in the folder ~/Library/Mobile Documents
If you want to move this folder to an external drive, you would have to relocate your home folder there. Moving the home folder is supported, but not moving parts of the user library.
But that would not be practical on a portable Mac to move the home folder to an external drive, because you could not log in without connecting the external drive.

HT1414 I attempted to update my iphone 3 through I tunes - I think I did a back up on my pc - I am now unable to use the phone at all - it cannot be turned off and seems to be syncing all the time, even when it is not connected to itunes.

I attempted to update my iphone 3 using itunes. I'm not certain but I believe I did a backup on my pc first. I am now unable to use the phone at all - the slide bar won't move and I have a camera icon next to the slide bar which is not responsive. I have tried to sync and even left the phone connected to the pc overnight. The phone is going flat within a couple of hours and won't stop beeping every few seconds and seems to be syncing all the time, even when disconnected from pc. I am fearful that I have lost all my contacts - nothing is working - can anyone help - please?

Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it. If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup. They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices. However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

My wife was given a 5s and she sent her 4s to her daughter in Thailand to use. The problem is the 4s needs to have the imei number unlocked. We need assistance on how that can be done. We are long time Verizon customers.

Your daughter will have to send it back to you. You will have to reactivate it on you line. You will then have to request to have it unlocked. See THIS thread for more information.

I tried updating iTunes to version 11.1.1, but installation fails each time even when I did it manually as was suggested. The message I receive is: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem"

Hi hongkongpom,
Just wanted to say that after posting the problem, I had a chat with an iTunes' Tech Support, her name is Rebekah. My problem was resolved after that. Will list the chat history below in hopes that it may help you as well.
Good luck!
Samia
Chat Transcript
Friday, October 4, 2013 05:55 AM
Duration: 81 minutes 28 seconds
Rebekah:
Welcome to AppleCare chat support. Please give me a moment to look over your information.
Rebekah:
Hi, Samia! My name is Rebekah. If we get disconnected, please chat us back. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/contactEnter the case number from the initial email we sent you. This gives the next advisor you chat with immediate access to your case history.
Rebekah:
Could you please confirm your serial number? I want to be sure we provide the best service possible for you, Samia!
SAMIA:
Sure, it's 8L8395UY2C5
SAMIA:
My problem is with iTunes.
Rebekah:
Thanks for that confirmation. Just a heads up, this is iOS Tech Support. We do support iPod touches, iPads, and iPhones, but not the iPod classic. But no worries! I can get you in touch with a phone Advisor who can get you in touch with the department that specializes in iPod classics and would be able to better assist you. Would that be OK?
SAMIA:
I wasn't able to install the new version of iTunes (version 11.1.1). The installation keeps failing. The they suggested the I install it manually and that failed too. I will attach the message I received.
SAMIA:
I don't have a problem with iPod.
SAMIA:
Just iTunes
Rebekah:
No problem! We can certainly troubleshoot iTunes as much as possible. It may come to the point that you may have to transferred, but we can do as much as possible during this chat!
Rebekah:
Thanks for the screenshot. It is a bit small so I am unable to fully see the message that you are receiving. What is the error message you are receiving?
SAMIA:
This is the message I received in case you weren't able to open the attachment: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2324."
Rebekah:
Thanks for that info!
SAMIA:
Pleasure!
Rebekah:
What version of Windows (XP, Vista, 7) do you have?
SAMIA:
Windows 7
SAMIA:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Rebekah:
Thanks for that confirmation. I do apologize for the delay, Samia. I am researching this error code now. You mentioned trying to install iTunes manually. To be sure I am on the same page, what steps did you take to do that?
SAMIA:
Well when the indsatalltion failed I was given instructions to select Download Only from Tools and then install manually. When I did it, I window popped up with the following items: - AppleApplicationSupport
SAMIA:
- AppleMobileDeviceSupport64
SAMIA:
- Bonjour64
SAMIA:
iTunes64
SAMIA:
SetupAdmin
SAMIA:
I selected Repair in all of them instead of Remove and all worked but iTunes64
SAMIA:
That's when I received the message that I sent you earlier.
SAMIA:
By the way, this is the fir st time something like this occured. I never had problems with installation before.
Rebekah:
I completely understand what you're saying. Since that Repair did not resolve the issue, our best option is to uninstall iTunes and its components and redownload it. To do this, we will follow the steps in this article: Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Rebekah:
First, we will want to quit iTunes and/or Apple Software Update if those are open at this time.
SAMIA:
Rebekah, the instructions you gave says, "For Windows XP, follow these steps to remove and reinstall iTunes and other software components for Windows XP."
SAMIA:
I closed all applications
SAMIA:
Also, my iTunes doesn't open anymore after the new failed installation.
Rebekah:
The section that says "For Windows XP…" is in case we opened up the wrong article, as we have the one for Windows Vista, 7, or 8. There is a link to click ("these steps") in those directions that would take us to the article for uninstalling on a Windows XP.
Rebekah:
So no worries! We have the right article!
Rebekah:
On the computer, we will want to click on Start > Control Panel. In Control Panel, we will click the "Uninstall a program" link.
SAMIA:
I thought so after doing a little exploration.
SAMIA:
done
Rebekah:
Alright, we'll want to select iTunes from the list of currently installed programs. Then we will click Uninstall. When asked if you would like to remove iTunes, let's click Yes.
Rebekah:
After the uninstallation is complete, we don't want to restart your computer if you're prompted.
SAMIA:
Done
Rebekah:
Then if you see other iTunes entries on the list, we'll want to remove them the same way.
Rebekah:
Then we will remove all instances of Apple Software Update the same way you removed iTunes.
SAMIA:
Okay, but do I have to remoce iCloud as well?
SAMIA:
Rebekah, I received the same error message again when uninstalling
Rebekah:
We actually do not need to remove iCloud. After the Apple Software Update, we will want to remove all instances of Apple Mobile Device Support
Rebekah:
How strange! Are you able to click past that and allow the process to continue or has it stopped it completely?
SAMIA:
I am unable to uninstall iTunes either
SAMIA:
Stopped completely
SAMIA:
I treied clicking Repair
Rebekah:
Alright, after trying the Repair option, let's see if it will allow us to continue uninstalling or not.
SAMIA:
I tried that but unfortunately, it isn't working. I still get that same message with error code 2324.
Rebekah:
This error code is not something that I am finding in my sources, Samia. So there is a chance that it is being caused with the Windows computer itself. However, I did find a link that may be able to help with uninstalling iTunes from Windows' support site: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
SAMIA:
Rebekah, you're a genius! It worked! iTunes is no longer there. What next?
Rebekah:
Awesome! I'm glad that worked!
Rebekah:
To be sure I am on the same page, what was the last component we uninstalled?
SAMIA:
iTunes
SAMIA:
Shall I remove the Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update
Rebekah:
That is correct! However, we do want to uninstall it in the order I mentioned above. So Apple Software Update first, Apple Mobile Device Support next, and then Apple Mobile Device Support.
SAMIA:
Got it, but is the second one to uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support OR Apple pplication Support?
Rebekah:
The second one is Apple Mobile Device Support.
Rebekah:
The Application Support will be the last component we uninstall.
SAMIA:
Thanks! I'm on it.
SAMIA:
Done! ll 3 are gone, well 4 with iTunes. Now what?
Rebekah:
Awesome! Also, I just noticed that I accidentally typed Apple Mobile Device Support twice, I do apologize for any confusion! Now we will remove all instances of Bonjour and then remove all instances of Apple Application Support.
SAMIA:
There was only 1 instance with Bonjour. I don't know what the instances are for Apple Application Support
Rebekah:
Yes, Bonjour is often only listed once. Is the Apple Application Support listed at all?
SAMIA:
No
SAMIA:
Since I removed it
Rebekah:
Oh, perfect! If it was removed, we should be set!
Rebekah:
We have removed iTunes and its components now! From here, our next step is to restart the computer. Then once you reboot, you can redownload iTunes from apple.com/itunes
Rebekah:
That should allow you to download iTunes!
SAMIA:
Shall I downloaad the latest vesion?
Rebekah:
You will want to first restart the computer as shown in the article. That will ensure that this process goes smoothly and that everything was removed correctly! Then you can try downloading iTunes again.
SAMIA:
Okay, thanks Rebekah!
Rebekah:
You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help! And of course if you have any issue after the reboot and download, you can always chat us back, as chat is open 24 hours! You will just need to give your case number and the next Advisor would have all my notes!
SAMIA:
Thanks again for all your help, for I couldn't have managed with out it. Have a nice day!
Rebekah:
You're very welcome! I know how important iTunes is and I'm glad we could get you on a path to resolution!
Rebekah:
I hope you have a lovely day!
Rebekah:
It's been a pleasure speaking with you! Thanks for chatting with us Samia. If you don't have any more questions, select End Chat from the upper left corner of the chat window.
SAMIA:
Will do, thanks.
