    There are several very good third-party podcast apps you can download from the app store.
    Personally, I'm very happy with "DownCast".  I've given up on the apple podcast app, and DownCast seems to do everything I need.  My whole family uses it.

    I’m trying to follow HP’s instructions to add a driver for HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 which is connected to my Time Capsule. However, in System Preferences I can’t “add” the printer to the print queue because I don’t have a driver and you have to select a driver before the add button becomes active.  Therefore, the Mountain Lion software update doesn’t add driver software for the CP 1215 driver because I was unable to add the printer to the print queue. 

    This printer doesn't seem to be supported in ML:

    You could try the 1515 driver or use the Generic PostScript Printer PPD when adding the printer.
    Hope this helps.

    You cannot.  If someone else told you there is a way then they will need to show you.  After Effects requires a 64-bit system and the latest release requires Mac OS X v10.8 or v10.9 minimum

  • How to change the library location because i don't have enough memory in my internal hard disk

    can i change the library location because i don't have enough memory in my internal hard disk

    Hi ahmedmagdyelrasheedy,
    It is not clear what library you are trying to move, but if you are running out of space on your internal hard drive the most likely culprits are your iTunes music and your iPhoto library. Either of these can be moved to an external hard drive making room on the internal.
    For the iPhoto library see this article -
    iPhoto: How to move the Library folder to a new location
    To move the iTunes music see this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • HT4157 if i get an i pad with 3g service capability do i have to use it in order for the i pad to work or can   i just use the wifi part because i don't have the extra money to pay for a data plan

    if i get an i pad with 3 g service capability do i have to use it in order for the i pad to work or can i just use  the wifi part because i dont have the extra money to pay for a data plan

    If you do get 3G, you only use cellular when wifi is not available. You pay by the month for a 3/4G plan.

  • My week old MacBook w/ retina has half of its storage taken up by the "other" category. I don't have any downloads or backups. How can I get rid of it?

    I now no longer have any storage and it is only 1 week old!!

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    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.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • I cannot back up my phone or my iPad because I don't have enough storage on the cloud (although I did buy extra storage). I was synching my photos on my devices and my Mad but I took this function off and I still have no storage.

    I reckon that my iCloud is full with my photos but I can not find the way to delete photos or videos from I cloud

    Photo stream photos don't use any of your iCloud storage so deleting them won't make any difference.  Only camera roll photos use your photos, and only if you are backing up to iCloud, as they are included in the backup.
    To see what is using your storage, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Bakup>Manage Storage.  This article provides some suggestions for reducing your storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

    Unless the email ended up in your spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • Can't get anything on to my iPhone 5 because I cannot upgrade to the new iTunes because I don't have a Mac 10.5.8. Is there anything I can do or am I out of luck?

    I just recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. I went to plug it in to iTunes to get everything back on to my new phone and it says it cannot do anything until I update to the latest version of iTunes. But, when I go to upgrade my iTunes it says I can't because my mac is a 10.5.8 version and the new iTunes is only avalible for a mac 11.0.3 version. Is there anything I can do or am I simply out of luck?
