I have a 500gb running my computer and want to upgrade to a 1000gb how can i do this?

I would like to upgrade my 500 gb to a 1000gb HD which will run my apple Mac pro 2009 Tower.
Iam confident in changing HDs but wondering how to put all the operating software onto a new HD.
Many thanks,
Mac

The way the forums work, WE help solve and is reflected in points.
Glad we helped and hope maybe changed the direction you end up taking with your upgrades.
ce (SSD drive or hard drive) you are migrating to should be physically located in the same computer. Moving operating system files from one computer to another computer using software not specifically designed for that computer can cause issues due to software, hardware, and firmware version mismatches.
Always back up your storage device with Time Machine or Disk Utility before you start.

The old slower SATA II's bandwidth has gotten to be a choke point.
Having all your files on one drive is an even bigger limiting factor.
Isolating system from your media libraries and data, from any scratch drive, helps.
Moving some of those off to another bus, one of the PCIe slots, takes advantage of additional bandwidth available (and probably going to waste currently).
You may have noticed all the newest Macs and future Mac Pro. moving to PCIe SSDs and no longer using even SATA III. Anything you can do now in that regard will help. iPhoto, separate from "Pictures" folder on another high-speed device, or Aperture, and also Lightroom, as well as CS6 scratch space.
That also means you aren't limited to 4 SATA drives or devices, and you should be using those 4 already for system, data, backup, media files.
It does make a difference. It did with my 7 yr old Mac Pro 1,1. that and more RAM, retire older disk drives for newest models, and probably the last GPU mine can make use of , the ATI 5770 (replaced the Nvidia 8800GT that cost even more).

HT1923 Im am a bit of a luddite, I have one of the first ipads and want to update to the ios 6.1.3 - is this possible and if so, HOW

How do I update my earliest version of the Ipad wireless 64g ipad to ios 6.1.3 - I am not too technical and previously I have been able to do it through my PC but cant seem to do it now.

Thanks Stedman. All other updates have always worked... I wish they would warn you when you buy the top of the range device at the time, that it would be out of date only a few years later. Oh well, thanks for the help!!

I have 2 accounts and want to delete/remove one. How do I do this?

Look at Store > Purchased > Apps for each of the accounts in turn.
Media isn't really a problem, but as you've no doubt discovered updating apps from multiple accounts is unnecessarily complicated.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities

HT4463 i have aperture on one computer and want to download it onto another, how do I do this?

I understand that if I buy apple software, I can load it on to other compters. I have loaded it onto my computer and want to load it onto my husbands computer...

Different ways to do this. You could log into the MAS on that computer, and install it through your purchases list.

I have just purchased my 1st mac and want to start my iTunes fresh. I have all my music on an external hard drive and want iTunes stored on it. How do i do this

I have just purchased my 1st Mac Mini,
I haven't imported any music yet except from purchased music.
I have 100gb of music on an external hard drive (already formatted to Mac OS Journaled.
I want my iTunes to be store on the External Hard drive, and to update my External Hard drive with new music I add to iTunes.
I also want to know the best way of adding my music on the Ext Hard drive e.g.: "add folder to library" or "import"
I plan on buying a Macbook Pro soon, and want to be able to use the same iTunes library.

Launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify it. If the external drive doesn't contain the iTunes database files, create a new library there and import that music.
If the library contains any rented movies, they won't play on a different computer.

I have mac os 10.6.8 and want to purchases 'pages' app however I'm getting message saying I can't

I have a mac os x 10.6.8 and need to purchase pages app - the mac store says no.. and hlp would be great thanks!

Just a thought before you go the whole hog - try calling Apple on 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for sales. Ask if they can offer an earlier version of Pages from the archive list. They may be able to give you a code to use at the App Store.
I've no idea if it will work, but it's just one 'phone call, so nothing to lose. Mine is 4.0.5 on SL.

I am trying to set up my apple tv using the hospital network. I am able to detect the network and chose it. But the way the system works is that you have to agree to the terms and conditions of using their network before access the internet. How do I accomplish this with apple? Please help.

There are some other options to you, if you're not at home and nobody is using your router you could set it up at the hospital, if this isn't an option you could get a second router and use it. Many ethernet routers are available on the cheap, and ethernet cables are cheap too.
Also, a macbook can share it's internet via the built in wifi it has. See this go to settings-sharing-internet sharing and configure as desired. This may require an internet connection via ethernet. But you should be able to create a wifi network for using something like airplay/home sharing.

HT1349 I have multiple versions of Outlook installed, and the icloud calendar won't work, how do I correct this?

I have multiple versions of Outlook installed and icloud won't work, how do I correct this?

We mananged to resolve this exact issue on a machine recently that was running MS Office Home and Business 2010. However a copy of MS Office 2000 was also installed (for legacy reasons re Access 2000) and it was this causing the issue. We used Programs & Features to 'Change' the Office 2000 installation to 'Add/Remove' features and de-selected Outlook in here. This prompted a reboot and the issue was subsequently fixed.
Please note this did not remove the Outlook 2010 that was installed (and in use), but be careful to have a backup of your Outlook as your mileage may vary.

Crop the Photos to the preferred aspect ratio and then export them setting 1024 as the longest side.

My husband and I share an iCloud account and want to see eachothers calendars. How can we do this?

I want to sync calendars with another iPhone that shares the same account how do I do this?

If you share the same iCloud account any data you sync with the account (contacts, calendars, etc.) will be merged and appear on both phones, not just the calendar. If you still want to do this, all you have to do is go to Settings>iCloud and sign into the same iCloud account as the other phone. Then turn the data you want so share (such as Calendars) to On.
You can also maintain separate iCloud accounts, and keep your contacts and other synced data separate and still share an iCloud calendar. This would also give you both 5GB of iCloud storage for your data and backups rather than sharing the same 5GB of storage, and is the preferred method for most people. If you would rather do this, set up a new iCloud account in Settings>iCloud, the share your iCloud calendar as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694.
