    But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
    When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?

  • I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer.

    I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

    Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting.  A phone can only sync with one library at a time.  You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced.  To know which you will have to provide the information.
    If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

    All you need is a physical plug adapter, not a voltage converter. All Apple chargers work on any voltage from 110 - 240 worldwide.

    Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep it as my primary.

    To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account.  To do this, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    You should only need a SIM in it to actually activate it in iTunes.  Once activated, leave the SIM in or remove it, it should not matter.
    Then, turn on airplane mode.  And then, go into wifi settings and re-enable wifi (this leaves the cellular radio in airplane mode = powered off).
    Now your iPhone is effectively no more than a (wifi only) iPod Touch.

  • I have two separate itune accounts under two different email accounts and would like to combine them under one account.  Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

    If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
    Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
    That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

  • I have just gone from PCM to MacBook Pro retina and would like to now go to imac. Is it worth waiting for retina on imac and when will it arrive

    I have just gone from PCM to MacBook Pro retina and would like to now go to imac. Is it worth waiting for retina on imac and when will it arrive

    I'm not Klaus but can give an opinion on this part:
    As a Mac man yourself do you think that the retina display is worth waiting for? 
    I'm 65, have used Macs since 1989, and struggle with displays, cataracts, and bifocals. What I've seen of the Retinas in stores is that text size gets sacrificed for image quality. There are quite a few complaints about Retina in the MacBook Pro forums about not being able to increase the size of menu text without it getting fuzzy.
    My iMac 27-inch is about a year old and I can set the display res from its default of 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 and everything is sharp. I understand that handy trick will not work for either the older hi-res macbook pros or the Retinas, so I don't expect it for any other Macs.
    Speculation on Apple policy and new product releases is actiually not allowed by the Terms of Use around here so I doubt you'll get an answer to the "when" part. Anyone who does answer "when" is either guessing it up or violating a non-disclosure agreement!   Apple plays its cards close to its vest and we average users only know "when" when Apple posts the announcement.

  • Got the new MAcBook Air with Lion, and would like to sell the previous model. How do I delete everything?

    Hi guys.
    I got the all new MacBook Air 11" with Lion yesterday, and would like to sell the previous model (it was with SnowLeopard).
    What do I have to do to delete everything, including my account? Do I need the SuperDrive or is it possibile without one?
    Thanks!

    And yes, you need the SuperDrive for this.

  • I just upgraded my OS to "Lion" and would like to make the Mail icons/lettering smaller. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

    How does one make Mail icons smaller?

    Howdy jandbfy,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re interested in changing the icon size in Mail for Mac OS X Lion. The article linked below provides information about customizing the sidebar in Mail and will walk you through the process of changing the icon size.

  • Re-Installing Windows and Would Like to Keep Playlists and Library

    Hi There.
    I have a large collection of music which I have recorded from Vinyls, converted and then put into various playlists in my iTunes library (a very time consuming activity I would rather not repeat).
    My PC is absolutely buggered and I need to re-install windows, however I do not want to lose all the playlists I have created with the music. Preferrably I would like to be able to drag folders/files into a folder on my external to then drag back after the reinstall is done. The question I have is what files do I need to transfer?
    It would be much appreciated if anyone could advise me what files I need to transfer to my external hard drive (to then transfer back onto the PC after re-installing windows). Note that I have a small number of songs in the Downloads Folder, as opposed to in the itunes folder.
    Thanks Very Much

    See the user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suggested backup strategy.
    If you copy out all of your data you will be able to restore it when needed. However it would be better to consolidate the library first as this makes the library portable, meaning you can restore it to any path. Otherwise unconsolidated data (anything outside the media folder) such as that in your downloads folder will need to be restored to exactly the same paths. This is also true if the media folder isn't a direct subfolder of your iTunes library folder.
    Ideally you would clone the consolidated library to an external drive, and test that it works, by shift-starting iTunes and chooseing the copy of the library on the external drive, then deauthorize the computer before reinstalling Windows. Use the same tool to copy the library back and then periodically refresh your back up in future.

  • I have an iMac 24" EMC 2111 intel core 2 duo running OX lion and would like to set up a first gen Apple wireless keyboard. It has been discovered but won't let me type the code. What am I doing wrong?

    I cant set up my older wireless keyboard with my iMac. The Apple site shows this keyboard model as needing a USB keyboard and mouse for initial set up, but I dont know how to do that. Blue tooth finds the keyboard, yet when I need to type the passcode, nothing happens. the keys wont function. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
