I can't download anything as it keeps telling me my start up disk is full.  I have deleted loads of files and it still keeps popping up with the same messge??

Please help - I am not too computer savvi and my computer keeps telling me my start up disk is full.  I have purchased a passport and transferred loads of images and files onto that and then deleted them from my computer but the message is still the same and I can't download anything.

How big is your hard drive, and how much space is used/free?
To find out, click once on the hard drive icon on your desktop to highlight it (it will be called Macintosh HD unless you renamed it). Click the command and I keys on your keyboard to open the information window. In "General", you will see Capacity and Available. What are those figures?
If you have a little bit of space left, I recommend that you install Omnidisksweeper (it's free) to tell you what folders are using up the most room.
Be careful when you transfer files - only move files that you know are yours. Don't move or delete any system files unless you're specifically recommended to do so (some files are safe to delete; some are not).

    On your iPhone, try toggling Find My iPhone off, then back on after a few seconds.

  • How can you set up more than one device on iTunes. I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices.

    How can you set up more than one device on iTunes? I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices. I have all my music/videos on iTunes on my mac book pro. Can you set up separate folders for each device and drop in what ever music/videos from the main iTunes library?

    In itunes it is called syncing and you can choose exactly what content to sync to all devices and it can be different for all of them
    How to sync

  • I have an iPod touch that is synced with my library.  I just got a new Nano and I want to sync that with the same library but I can't figure out to do it with iTunes 11

    I watched the new itunes tutorial, and if you double click on the  blank part of the bar that says music, videos, apps, etc, a button will show with your ipod's name.

    By asking your friend.
    Chances are it was hacked (jailbroken).

  • Can you delete an iCloud account but then make a new account with the same password?

    Me and my mum share the same iCloud account with her email address, but I can't make my own unless I delete my mum's account that I share with her. If I delete the account, will my mum be able to make a new account with the same password?
    Thank you!

    Yes.  You can use the same password for all your accounts (although it's less secure to do so).  You just have to use a different Apple ID to set up a new account.

  • Can I have my Time Capsule wifi and my Verizon router wifi on at the same time?

    I want to have my verizon wifi on at the same time as my time capsules wifi but I don't know if it interfere.  There's an app that you can use as a remote for your cable box but you need to be on your routers wifi.
    Thanks,
    Zach

    Suggest that you run a few speed checks on both wireless networks with a computer in same room as the wireless router using a site like www.speedtest.net on your browser.
    If you are getting close to your plan speeds, then you likely do not have interference issues.
    Most routers will scan to find the best available channel to use, so assuming that your equipment is working OK, things should be OK. Try to keep the Verizon router and Time Capsule at least 6-8 feet, or a few meters from each other.
    This assumes that you are not living in a crowded situation like an apartment complex, where intereference is pretty much a fact of life due to the very limited number of wireless channels that are available.

  • Just bought an ipad air and I have an ipad 2.  I would like to use both with the same computer.  Can someone tell me how to do this.  Do I have to set up a separate user.

    I just ordered an ipad air and I have an ipad 2. Can someone help me so I can use both ipads from the same computer.  The new one is for my husband and I am going to take the ipad 2.  Do I have to do something different since they will be using the same computer.  Any help you can give me would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    It's no problem. I hope this explanation simplifies the information in the Link Demo gave you. It's how I think most people do it...
    To avoid having to pay again for apps you have already purchased, use the same Apple ID (likely the current one) on both devices. You can adjust this in:
    Settings > iTunes & App Store.
    So that you can communicate with each other, use separate Apple IDs for iCloud, Messages, and FaceTime. Adjust those in:
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages
    Settings > FaceTime

  • I have changed my Apple ID on my iPad, but my iPhone keeps popping up with the old ID.....how do I get all my devices to use the same ID?

    How can I get all my devices to use the same Apple ID?

    Different services on your iOS device (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud, iTunes and App Store) can be signed into with an Apple ID of your choice. Make sure you verify the settings for each device and that you are signed in to each service with the correct Apple ID.
    I'll do an example for iMessage:
    1) Go to settings on your iOS device
    2) Select "Messages"
    3) Select "Send & Receive"
    4) At the very top you will see "Apple ID", by selecting your Apple ID, you will now have the option to sign out of messages with the current Apple ID, and sign in with the new one.
    The steps for changing your Apple ID for other services will be very similar.
    tHIS SHOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TOO YOU.

  • HT4623 I would like to have both my lock symbol and mute symbol to be off at the same time can they both be in the control at the same time

    looking for a way to have. both mute in lock symbol in the control panel. don't like that I can only have one working at a time

    I have posted this many, many times here. See if this helps you understand how this process works with regard to system sounds and screen rotation lock.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • I have downloaded the latest Itunes and now I can't launch it because I don't have Apple Support application. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled three or four times with the same error code 2 On vista, how can this be fixed?

    Where do I download Apple Support Application for Itunes?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • When closing Firefox, I used to have the choice to 'save and quit' so I'd open with the same tabs next time. This has stopped with the new version. How can I save my tabs now?

    the only message that comes up now when I close is 'you are about to close x number of tabs' with no offer to save anything.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:
    * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
