I want all my ebook in a external HD and no in de HD of my Mac

Greatings, I have all my ebook (Pdf, epub...) In a external HD, and I still want it in that way, but when I add a new ebook to my library automatic copy this file to ˜/Document/iBooks/Books . In iTunes If you dont want to Mp3 go to the HD just uncheck the "Keep my Library Organize" but I cant find this option in iBooks App.
I want to keep all my eBooks in the external HD and I dont want to use space in my Mac to store again the books.
Thanks

  • Can all macbooks boot from usb(stick,hdd) and firewire(hdd) an os: linux, win, mac os x, opensolaris, etc

    Subject: BOOT FROM EXTERNAL STORAGE DEVICE - After this setup properly
    Can all macbooks boot from usb(stick,hdd) and firewire(hdd) an os: linux, win, mac os x, opensolaris, etc?
    what about:
    Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop(OLD VERSION) (4GB RAM 120G HD 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 15.4" Matte Screen, 4GB memory, 120 GB 7200 rpm hard drive) White

    Yes,
    Disconnect everything hooked up to the PC except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.
    Then use this method to flash the BIOS.  It is the safest way to go.
    USB Device BIOS Flashing in DOS
    DOS Flash  (DOSFlash.exe, FlshUefi.cpu) is the DOS-compatible System BIOS flash utility that can be used from a DOS bootable storage device (where "DOS" refers to any of a number of compatible operating systems such as FreeDOS, MS-DOS or DR-DOS). FlshUefi.cpu is the required driver for DOSFlash.exe. To flash the System BIOS from a bootable USB storage device, you will need to copy the contents of the DOS Flash folder to the USB device, boot the PC from the USB device, and execute the DOSFlash application. To see a more complete description of the DOS flash utilities, view DOSFlash.txt located in the DOS Flash folder. This folder also contains the required binary image of the BIOS.  The binary image file is named xxx_MMmm.bin where "xxx" is the BIOS family, "MM" is the major version number, and "mm" is the minor version number.  This file can be copied to the root directory of any USB removable medium for use with the F10 setup "Flash System ROM" option 
    View Contents of DOS Flash Folder
    The links on this post don't work. I copied the section from the BIOS flashing instructions for the specific section you need.

  • I have an external hardrive for MAC, I needed to save something from my work computer so I can pass it on to my MAC, it requiered me to re-format my external HD and now when I connected to my MAC I only have "read only rights". How do I fix it?

    I have an external hardrive for MAC, I needed to save something from my work computer so I can pass it on to my MAC, it requiered me to re-format my external HD and now when I connected to my MAC I only have "read only rights". How do I fix it? I run my Itnues from this external and now my library is gone. Luckily I have it saved somewhere else, which is not a problem, but I won't be able to write to this HD for right now. I can't see an option to give those permission back.

    Unless what you have to transfer is enormous, skip the external HD altogether and use a USB flash drive; you can get them with capacities to 128GB. Format the flash drive as FAT32 or ExFAT as LowLuster suggests so it can be read and written to on both PC's and your Mac.

  • I want to move video to an external hard drive but keep my photos on my mac. How do I do this without losing all my details?

    I am looking to free p space on my mac book pro by moving all my video that downloads into iPhoto and keep it on an external hard drive.  How do I move only the video and keep all the info associated with them?  Will iPhoto recognize and keep them organized as before!?

    All you can do is select the videos (smart album with keyword = movie) and export them then delete in iPhoto with the optional information available during export - you can not "split" an iPhoto library between two drives

  • Is there a utility for windows 7 which can refind all my tracks on an external HD and link them back to my library?

    I seem to have to point iTunes back to my music, one track at a time. Perhaps this is because I've plugged the external into a different socket and it gets renamed . But, whatever, is there a way to tell it to look in the HD and locate all the tracks there that it already has names and details for in the library?

    So, what if I (1) connected an external hard drive to my wi-fi router so I could remote access pics w/a network connection-- this way even my wife's macbook could connect to it, creating our own cloud.
    A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries. 
    Or (2) had a way to save the most recent 6mo on my locally and the rest on said external HD?
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
    how do you keep photos accessible in iPhoto when your HD is full?
    Move the Library to an external disk -  see above.
    Do you just switch to Aperture and have multiple libraries?
    Aperture uses as much space as iPhoto and both can do multiple libraries.

  • I am trying to use an external HD and need to configure it for the MAC. Can someone explain how to configure the HD (Western Digital - My Passport SE)?

    Can someone help explain how to add an external HD to the Mac? I have a Western Digital My Passport SE and need to configure if for the MAC and add it to the HD location on my Mac.

    Connect the external drive to the Mac. You can do that while the Mac is on, (If the drive is one that has to be plugged into a wall outlet do that too and turn the power on.) If there is a light on the drive it should turn on.
    Now double click on the hard drive icon - top left of the screen of your computer. When it opens look for the Applications folder. Double click that. Next look for a folder called Utilities. Double click. In there you will see a file called Disk Utility.app. Double click on that.
    You will now see something like this, with two items on the left. The second one is your new drive.
    Select it - one click. And click on Erase - one of the buttons at the top, You will see this.
    You must select the Format, it's a drop down - the one shown in the image above is best. You can change the name from Untitled if you want. The name can be changed later if you prefer.
    At this point look at the bottom right. There is a button there called Erase. Click on it. Then go get yourself a cup of coffee - this will take a few minutes.

    How much free space do you actually have? Go to the Apple menu and select About This Mac... More Info... and click on the Storage tab. You should see something like this...
    This will show you how much free space you have and what's taking up all the space on your hard drive. You may need to backup and trash some seldom used files, applications, etc. You have to drag them into the Trash and empty the trash to regain the space. A general rule of thumb is that you should have about 15% of your hard drive storage free.
    Good luck,

  • Transferred all from internal drive to external drive and now need help

    I recently purchased an external hard drive to transfer allof my itunes music and folders to so it frees up my hard drive on my lap top. I followed the directions from apple to do this. When I purchased new songs this week, I plugged my ipod in and it did not take the new songs. It doesn't down load the new music.
    I have been so frustrated with all of this that I am having such a hard time being able to enjoy my new ipod 30gb.
    Can anyone help me????

  • I have uninstalled everything on my laptop, removed all my files to my external device and my laptop is still incredibly slow when opening any of the adobe applications, can anyone help please?

    I have downloaded the adobe student suite and whenever I open any of the adobe applications my laptop is incredibly slow, I cannot use any other application at the same time and often have to force quit. I have taken all my files off my laptop and added to my external hardrive. Can anyone help please?

    What about other non-Adobe programs on the machine - do they also run slowly?
    What are your system specifications?  How do they match up to the system requirements for the software?

  • Using an external HD and Local HD

    I have a bunch of pictures that are on my computer from icloud and people sending through email etc.  I also have a whole library of pictures on my external HD as well. 
    What is the best way to organize these?  I want to continue to use my external HD and not copy everything to my Macbook Pro.  I also want to continue to have whatever pictures I take with my phone and Ipad automatically sync to my computer.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply.  Just a couple more quick questions.
    I am going to take your suggestion and use both the EHD and my local storage.  Does this mean I'll have to create a separate library?
    The EHD I have was originally used with my Windows PC and is formatted to NTFS.  I'm going to use the program Paragon to allow me to be able to write to the disk.  How do I get the library to see the pictures?  When i plugged in the EHD it obviosuly doesn't just show up in Iphoto.  Do I have to import the pictures?  If I do that, am I not just copying them all to my Macbook Pro?
    Ultimately what I would like to do is be able to open Iphoto and see all my pictures in one library using both local storage and EHD.  Is that possible.
    Last question.  If the EHD is not plugged in and I open Iphoto, will it still show me thumbnails of the pictures? Can I see a larger size but just not edit the file?
    Thanks

  • How to disable external VGA and also enable onboard VGA

    hello,
     my spec is
    cpu corei5 ivybridge
    mis zh77A GA43
    vga hd7770 msi
    i want to know, how to disable external VGA and also enable onboard VGA ??
    and
    i want to ask too, if i disable external VGA In MB, it is my external VGA still consumption power? or i must unplug my external VGA ?
    how much different power consumption between external VGA and onboard VGA on idle time?
    because my computer each night be used for download, i want to save power as i can...
    also there is a eco mode? i want to know about eco mode, how much power can be save under eco mode? on idle time computer
    sorry my bad english

    Well remove the HD7770 and is disabled and doesn't consume any power. You can't enable or disable it the discrete vga when pc is in use. That board does also not support Virtu.
    The possible power saving beacuse of eco mode depends on the individual systems. There is no general value. Just try it. 

  • Hooked up my external drive and having some major problems??

    So I put my info from my pc onto my new external drive and then plugged it in to my mac (usb) It reads it just fine and I can pull info off it . . .
    But, I cannot put anything on it (claims the drive is "read only") and I cannot delete anything off of it (I don't have the right permissions)
    So what is the problem here?
    I don't recall how i formatted the drive but i did do it with my PC. I am wondering if mac can't write to fat32 or ntfs or something like that.
    Any thoughts are appreciated. I am using a hitachi drive in an ADS 835 enclosure.
    By the way, where and how do you set "permissions"?
    Kal

    Sorry for being too late. You will not have any permission problems after reformat.
    I hope it works now... I am using an external 60 GB VFAT drive without a problem with my ibook.

  • Question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.

    Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.
    I have a Mac Pro with a .75 TB and 1 TB drive.  It also has a 1 TB 2nd internal drive.  My current external drive is too small so I'll be getting a 1.5 TB or 2 TB drive.
    Obviously the new larger 2 TB drive will backup everything on the Mac Pro internal drive with Time Machine.  But there will be 1 TB of space left over going to waste.
    Should I partition the external drive so that the TM portion will be 1 TB and the use the remaining extra partition for additional file backups with Carbon Copy?
    Thanks for any insights.
    I tried searching around on the new Apple discussion forum, but I find it much harder to use than the old forum I used to use.

    John,
    I'm not sure why you posted in the iMac forum so I'm going to attempt to get you to the correct spot. I would recommend reposting in the Time Machine Forum, this is part of the OS X forums (Leopard or Snow Leopard) because you are using Snow Leopard (your profile indicates you are) please click Apple Support Communities and type Snow Leopard. Then you can narrow the search down by clicking Refine this List.
