  • Why is there an arrangement button in Displays when I don't have an external display attached??

    Why is there an arrangement button in Displays when I don't have an external display attached to my MacBook Pro?

    I can't even get my pictures from iPhoto to my external hard drive I just bought.
    Quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library to the external drive as an intact single entity - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and point iPhoto to the new location - test the library fully and then delete the library from the internal drive
    I'm about ready to just get a disposable camera and call it good.
    No problem if that makes you happy
    My hard drive is so full I keep getting messages that it's almost full and won't work right if I don't delete something.
    That is correct - you must have 10% or a minimum of 10GB of free space for efficient and safe operation
    I'm TRYING but nothing is working. It's very frustrating, isn't it?
    Maybe if you would give some details on what you are "trying" and what is "not working" someone could help - above is a specific answer to the specific question on how to move the iPhoto library
    Not to mention, the CD drive has a disc in it that won't come out. I'm not anywhere near an Apple dealer, and my MacBook is under warranty, so I can't go anywhere but Apple.
    I would post that in the MacBook forum rather than the iPhoto forum

  • TS4425 How do you agree to the latest iCloud Terms of Service if you don't have an iOS device only a Mac computer and an Apple TV with an iCloud account?

    How do you agree to the latest iCloud Terms of Service if you don't have an iOS device only a Mac computer and an Apple TV with an iCloud account?

    Part 2
    Thanks for the feedback Skhorchid.  Glad it worked for you too.
    A bit later I discovered that Photo Stream was not working on my Windows 7 PC either.  If I opened the iCloud control panel and put a check in the box to turn on Photo Stream, and then closed and reopened the control panel, the check mark was gone again.  Also, nothing happened when I clicked on the options button beside the Photo Stream check box.  I already had version 2 of the iCloud control panel so I could not upgrade further. 
    I ended up uninstalling the iCloud control panel, rebooting, downloading a fresh copy from Apple, and reinstalling it.  This worked and I now have photo stream working on my Windows 7 system as well.

  • I don't have the source clips on my mac, can I make it work anyway?

    I posted a thread yesterday, but as I put it in the wrong forum and the problem is another, I made a new one.
    So here is the first post, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3954346
    I have the clips in Imovie, but I can't play them as "the source clips are missing". I searched a little bit and saw that some people have had the same problem, but the difference is that I actually don't have the source clips on my mac anymore. Is there any way to fix this, or can't you play the movies without them?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    As Karsten writes - NO
    This is due to that You are using a NON-destructive Video editor. Meaning the raw-material goes into one bin (folder) and then it's not touched any more.
    Your Project is a text document referring to the raw material and what of it and how it's to be played - This is Your movie. So there are no Movie Project - until it is rendered and saved as such.
    This is also why - the Event's folder is enormous and Project folder very tiny - there is no movie here - just a conductor sheet on howto play Your Event folder as a Movie.
    Parallel - there are no Symphony in a note-book either - just how it's supposed to be played.
    Yours Bengt W

  • I tried to download the new Lion software, but was blocked.  Apparently I don't have the Leopard version on my Mac.  I have attempted to download THAT version but it doesn't appear to be available as a download.  Is that correct?

    You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY

  • AI have an iPad and iPhone but am stuck with Tiger and Leopard. Will I stir be able to get my email on my PowerBook if I after I upgrade to iCloud?  I don't have the cash to upgrade the mac right now.

    I have an iPad and iPhone but am stuck with Tiger and Leopard on my old powerbook G4.  Will I still be able to get my email on my PowerBook after I upgrade to iCloud?  I don't have the cash to upgrade the mac right now.  Just wondering what my email options are.  Thank You.

    You will be able to get your mail on the PowerBook. The calendars (iCal) will not sync; any events added to iPad and/or iPhone will not sync with the Mac but will sync with each other (that is: the mobile devices which are on iCloud). My  MacBook Pro (Lion) and iPad2 (iOS5) sync fine; I still get my Mail on iBook G4, MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) and iMac (Snow Leopard).

  • HT204053 I don't have an icloud icon on my mac. how do I set-up? I did the upgrade to mountain lion.

    If I don't have an icloud icon on my mac systems preferences. how do I set-up icloud? I did the upgrade to mountain lion.

    Then you haven't upgraded to Mountain Lion.
    Check inside your /Applications folder for something like "OS X Mountain Lion Installer" and double click it.  If the file doesn't exist, you'll have to downloaded/buy it from the app store.
    If you did make the purchase already, open the app store (under the apple >> app store) and then click Purchases at the top of the app store window.  It will ask for your apple id and password.  Do you see Mountain Lion listed?  If so, then download it.  If not, click on Featured and look for mountain lion in the side bar on the right and you'll have to buy it.

  • Do you have old for new service for Mac air?

    Do you have old for new service for Mac air?

    I believe you are asking if you can trade in an older model MacBook Air for a new one.
    Apple does not take trade-ins; however, in the U.S., they do have a recycling program which offers Apple gift cards in exchange for older Apple computers.
    You should be able to sell your older computer.

    Thanks for your help.

    Get a mighty mouse and your MBP will be satisfied.

  • I can't download things off my iPad because it says I don't have enough "free space" on my mac

    Hey guys, I'm not sure what's going on with my Mac Air but I can't download things to it anymore (like pics or audio files from my phone and Ipad).  When I try it says that I don't have enough "free space."  What's the solution?  I really don't have alot saved on this computer so it's kinda weirding me out that it's already full.

    Click on your system disk in the upper right hand corner, usuallly called "Macintosh HD”.
    Type Command-I.
    How much space is available?
    If it is small (under 20 GB) you should try removing files you do not need.

  • I don't have sound on my new 27inch Mac

    Just bought the new 27inch Mac and don't have any sound, not muted I checked Any ideas? Novice as you can tell. Cheers Peter

    If you haven't already, check System Preferences>Sound>output tab, and make sure it's set to internal speakers.
    If that doesn't help try a PRAM reset:

    If that doesn't help, it's worth giving AppleCare a call.

  • I have a sticky cursor on my Mac Air and I can't seem to shake it.

    All of a sudden I got a sticky cursor. No fluids no accidents nothing happend to think this might be the problem.
    Never changed anything it just happened.
    Can any one tell me how to get it back to normal again?
    Reboot not working for it, changing everything on the trackpad prefs won't help either.

    Thanks for the reply and did try that already, I even tried de-selecting everything but it stays the same.
    It selects everything, picks up everything. And on websites it selects text and so on while I don't want it.
    After rebooting it seems gone, for a while but then it starts it again.
    Mac Air is not overheating, and I haven't spilled anything on it.
    Tried cleaning the trackpad and thought it helped, but it didn't

  • Air Display app for Mac Air???

    Will Air Display app for Mac enable me to use my Mac Air display on a larger, Windows monitor?  Thanks.

    Yes, but not the Mac app, the Windows app. Just buy the Windows version of the Air Display app from the Avatron web site: http://getairdisplay.com, and download the free Air Display video drivers for your Mac.
    You can try the Windows app for free for up to an hour of connection before deciding whether or not to buy.
    Cheers,

  • I have recently given away my old mac air to a friend. I want to change the mail settings so he can access his emails and not access mine

    I recently gave my old mac air (purchased new 2011) to my friend. I want to change the mail settings so that he can access his mail from the application and not mine. So far we have gone to mail then preferences then general and changed the email address to his but upon relaunching the mail application, it didn't seem to have worked. The mailbox was empty of either his or my emails. Ali

    Follow these instructions: What to do before selling or giving away your Mac.
    Your friend will need to install his own OS X system as weill as purchase his own App Store software. He/She cannot use yours. Since the machine has been wiped your friend can configure his/her own Mail account.

  • New iMacs don't have a Mini Display

    I just recently baught a new 27" iMac and I was wondering since there does not seem to be a MiniDisplay port, how would I turn my iMac into a Monitor for HDMi devices, like in previous Models which was possible through HDMi to Mini Display convertors.

    Ok, found the answer.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3775
    Check out the wording though...
    iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) support Target Display Mode via a Thunderbolt cable, when the source is another Thunderbolt-equipped computer.
    Looks like you can use the 21.5 as a target display monitor also!
