I have an old MACBook and want to use it as an external drive to load disks on to my new mac. How do I?

Apple makes a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor if your new computer does not have a Firewire port.

How do I change the settings so my itunes does not save to my c drive? I don't have enough storage there and want it all saved on an external drive.

My library of music and movies is on an external drive, but for some reason all the album covers and backups get stored somewhere on my c drive? I dont want any of it on my c drive as there is nott enough space, is this possible to change? (using PC - Windows Vista)

You can't do that within the browser. Open the browser you want as you default browser and make it the default. That makes sense I hope because if you had Firefox as the default then you removed it as default browser you would have no default browser.
Setting any browser as the default is pretty much like you do it in Firefox, if you can't find it then simply search on "default browser" in the browser's help.

I have an '09 macbook and want to select specific pictures to put on a disc that will play on my televisions dvd player. How do I do that?

OM gosh! After working on this for 2 days, by golly, I got it! I used Free App DVD Creator. I had first tried to burn the disc in PAL Format.....wrong format for the good 'ol USA. After a little research I learned that the USA format is NTS.....so I chose that and it worked! I now have a disc I can play on our dvd player on the TV. Thanks all for above assistance. Problem now solved!

Your options depend on which MacBook you have and the version of OS X installed.

1. Remove the drives, install them in external enclosures.
2. Use a Firewire cable to connect to your computer. Boot the mini into Target Disk Mode - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire

Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting. Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .

I just installed Photoshop and want to use it as the external editor. I also have PS Elements on the computer and the only external editor I can get iPhoto to recognize is PSE. Any help in changing the external editor to PS would be appreciated!

I just installed Photoshop and want to use it as the external editor in iPhoto. I also have PS Elements on the computer and the only external editor I can get iPhoto to recognize is PSE. Any help in changing the external editor to PS would be appreciated!

Welcome. I am using Photoshop CS5 and this works fine for me. Possibly Adobe has changed this in CS6. Hopefully, LarryHN will have further suggestions. Best.

You need a computer.
Suggest you goto the nearest Apple Reseller and ask them to help you.

I just purchased Time Capsule today. I ONLY want to use it as an external drive. I do not need it for Time Machine. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please

I just purchased Time Capsule today. I ONLY want to use it as an external drive. I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!

I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
And the OS on the computer is Lion?
Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
Give us the full picture of the network.
Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question.

Thank for the quick response, is there any way of syncing video files wirelessly from IPhone to Macbook or can this only be done by connecting IPhone to Macbook using USB Cable.

I have some long spreadsheets and want to open them at the bottom instead of scrolling down through all the data. How do I do this?

I have some long spreadsheets and want to go to the bottom to add new data without scrolling down through all the old entries. When I open a table now it goes to the top row and I have almost 300 rows to scroll through. I would like to set the table up to automatically go to the bottom row.

Zach,
You have a couple of options. If you use 100% View Zoom, and if you leave a cell selected in the bottom row of the table when you Save and Close the document, it will reopen with that cell in view.
You could also sort your table in the opposite order and add new rows at the top. Then you wouldn't have to worry about what zoom you use. To insert a row at the top, select a cell in the current top row and press Option-UpArrow. That will add a new blank Top Body Row.

I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, but my husband has his own itunes acct, how can he use the main itunes library and get out music on his phone also

I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, unfortunately my husband has his own itunes acct and when i change on his phone to my itunes acct it states that the email is already in use, any help on how to get the itunes match to go onto both devices, thanks

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

I have lost my phone and want to use the find my iphone app to delete all the info on my phone. How can i do this on another persons iphone? do i need to log out of their icloud account and then sign in under mine?

I have lost my iphone 4s and want to use find my iphone app on my boyfriends iphone 3s to delete the info on my now lost phone. Do i need to log out of his icloud inorder to log into mine to do this on his phone?

You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free). When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to. You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.
