I have a Mac PC and bought a 2Tb hard drive to use by both my HP PC and my Apple PC by putting on my wifi network but I do not know how to do it? I thought I did but was very wrong.
I have a Macbook Pro laptop running MAC OS X 10.6.8, an WD external 2Tb hard drive, and an HP Laptop running Windows 7. I want to use the hard drive on my wi-fi network so that I can use the same file on either laptop? I thought I knew how to configure this but I was very wrong. Help?
VLB3,
what ports are on the WD external disk?

I have a film on my iPhone and because I do not have that much storage left I want to put it on my iTunes and not have it on my phone but I do not know how to. Please can you help
Where did you download this film from? Is it in your camera roll? If so, then import the video to the computer via whatever program you use to import pictures like a digital camera. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

Hello everybody! My question is; my parents and I have a great number of video tapes (Hi8 and mini DV) and since I purchased a MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A) I would like to burn them onto CDs, but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend(it can be a software, a hardware or combination of both)? By the way, I also purchased an external DVD-RW(Asus SDRW-08D2S) separately.
Just Google "convert hi8 to dvd" and you'll find a number of software/hardware combinations that will allow you to do what you want. One important piece of the puzzle is whether or not you still have access to the video recorder(s) that the movies were shot on.
Good luck,

I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there... Can someone help me get the pics from my Iphone4 to the 5C?
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device. -
The memory on my MAC is full. It holds 4GB of RAM of which 79GB are photos. I would like to back up my photos to an external drive but just do not know how. I do not wish to use time machine. How do I back up my photo library, then delete them from my MAC to free up that 79GB? Thank you.
Hi
Just to clarify a couple of points in your post.
RAM (memory) is different from hard drive space. You have 4GB of RAM, but that has no bearing on the amount of drive space you have, of which we know that 79GB are photos.
If those photos are in iPhoto, you should be able to move the entire iPhoto Library, from the Pictures folder, to your external hard drive. You can just drag and drop. Do not have iPhoto open while you're doing this. Once it's done, you can double-click on the moved iPhoto Library file to associate it with iPhoto, so that the app remembers where the library is for next time.
One more thing. When you move a file to a different location, and then delete the original, you don't have a backup. You still only have one copy. So if that external drive dies, you will lose all your photos. Time Machine is a very good way to prevent this from happening. You should dedicate a different drive for Time Machine backups.

I have downloaded the 30 day free trial using Adobe Download Assistant but I do not know how to open it and start using it.
This was so annoying!! It took me a good couple of hours but i figured it out, you need to do the following: Go to the folder where you saved the download (in my case i saved it in My Downloads) -> click on 'Adobe Photoshop Elements 12' -> click on 'PSE 12' -> click on 'Setup' (select the icon which is a box with a shield) -> follow instructions and....voila! You will need to restart when it suggests so save anything else first, then when it reboots you should see the icon on your desktop....hpe this helps!

I am planning to purchase new mac mini that just came out today but I do not know how I will be able to install programs or save stuff to disk when there is now internal optical drive. I know I could purchase an external drive but is that necesary. Thanks.
If you have access to another Mac with an DVD drive you should be able to share it using Apple's drive sharing feature in the OS or at the very least if you have a firewire cable boot into firewire disk mode...

It is saying my voicemail is full and it isn't. I do not want to erase my messages, but I do not know how to fix this problem. Can someone help me?
heymare66 wrote:
The phone usually can hold 24 messages before the voicemail is full, but now I have only 21 and it's saying it's full.
I think your Voice mailbox goes by time, not # messages, so if one or two of the messages is longer, then it would be "full" faster.
Go to youmail.com and follow the directions to set up youmail.
Just curious - why do you need to save 20+ messages? Once I deal with them, I delete them.... and I rarely have more than one or two \saved messages.... -

I just got a retro clock from brookstone and in setting it up it asked if I want to use current location which is incorrectly "Buffalo" but I do not know how to change it. Can anyone help me find where to change location?
As I understand it, Apple gets your location from the wi-fi router to which your iPod is connected. Location Services identifies the router and then checks for its location in Apple's database. If the router has been recently relocated or if there is a glitch in Apple's database, you will get an incorrect location. I don't think that there is anything you can do about it. You could send Apple a message about the error, but I doubt if they would do anything about it.

10.5 - 10.6 installation instructions (wipe and installmethod)
Make certain you have backed up your vital data ontoanother drive or cd/dvd's before proceeding.
Disconnect all other drives, hold c and boot offthe 10.5 disk that came with your computer (free iLife included), andselect Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, selecting your internaldrive,Erase> Format HFS+ Journaled > Security Option > ZeroAll Data >Ok (wait for a hour or so)
When it's finished, Quit Disk Utility and your back into the OS XInstaller, install OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Once that's finished, reboot and do the setup like a new machine.
When that's done and your in, stick in the OS X 10.6 disk and runthe installer to upgrade you to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
When that's done, do a Software update. We are at 10.6.8 now.
(note: if you don't have the 10.5 disk that came with yourcomputer, then repeat steps above with the 10.6 disk. Retail OS Xdisks you don't get the free iLife, it's a separate purchase. iLifecomes free on 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 install disks that come with thecomputer only.)
