Is it possible put a dock on a external disp. while spanning

I was wondering if it is possible for me to put a dock and that menu bar that appears on the top of the screen on my PB on to an external monitor. I use monitor spanning on my 12 inch PB to make more screen real estate, but it bothers me that I gave to keep moving the mouse back to the 12inch PB screen to open programs, change settings, etc. Any tips would be much appreciated!

Yes, go into System Preferences/Display Preferences and in the place where you see the small facsimilies of the screens allowing you to arrange them, drag the menu bar from the PB's screen facsimilie to the external screen's facsimilie.

I've installed LION. Is it possible to put Snow Leopard on an external hard drive?

I've installed LION. Is it possible to put Snow Leopard on an external hard drive?

I was unaware of this change for usb support! However Babowa makes a good point in that you would probably not want to run SL via USB and rather Firewire.
Having said that, the 13" MacBooks do not have firewire.
But again as Babowa points out, that machine wouldn't be able to run Lion anyway.

I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive. I have an external WD hard-drive; is it possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my mac?

I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook 10.6.7 but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive. I have an external WD hard-drive, and I was wondering if it is possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my Mac?

I think you're confused about how much hard drive space you have. You probably have 2 GB of RAM... there hasn't been a Mac shipped with only a 2 GB hard drive in a while. At the bottom of any Finder window, how much space is available?
If you're actually running low on space, you should move documents to the external drive, since many applications want to be on the system drive.

Can I put my library on an external hard drive and use it between two computers?

Can I put my library on an external hard drive and use it between two computers? I have two MBP; I will refer to one as computer A and to the other as computer B. I would like to be able to plug in my external hard drive, boot up iTunes, and if there were any changes made to the library previous to its last time accessed on this compluter, they show up on that computer, regardless of being imported on the other.
A hypothetical example: I import three albums called 1, 2, and 3 on computer A over a week or so. I take the external hard drive and plug it into computer B. The entire library which was visible on A, is visible on B, including albums 1, 2, and 3.
Is this possible? If so, what files need to be copied onto the external? I'm trying some different combinations, trial and error basically. Hopefully someone knows and can answer before I mess up my library. I also want to do this to free up space on my computer. All importing will be done from disc.

iTunes/Preferences/Advanced : point your iTunes to the new location of the Library.
Set "Share on local network" in the Sharing tab, and you or everyone on the local network can play your music.
You make a backup first of the Library.
Move the follwing to the new location:
/Users/your username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music

I still have problems with getting my website online. I have defined my server. Then I did the test and there was a connection via FTP. I put my files on the external server and there is a connection with the external server. But when I check to see my website online (with Firefox, Explorer, Chrome browser) I always get the message 'Forbidden, You don't have permission to access / on this server.' Can somebody help me please? I have to get my website online..Thank you!

Hello Els,
it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed Troubleshooting (I see Nancy#s smile already).
To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
Good luck!

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk - I don't have any room left on my computer. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help! This is seriously frustrating!.
Additionally, I'd like to be able to take the 2000+ photos out of iPhoto and put them on a disk in a folder. I have managed to export them to the hard disk but it's just plonked all 2000+ photos in a list - not ideal if I want to use it for anything else. And then I have to manually delete the photos from iPhoto. Is there not a quick and easy way of dealing with this?
Anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks for your help!

I too would like to be able to do this. Just put them where i want the. IFTT a scripting app will put the images in dropbox for you , but its been pretty iffy.

Does latest version of bootcamp installed on late 2013 rMBP put thunderbolt drivers for lacie external thunderbolt/USB 3.0 drive?

does latest version of bootcamp installed on late 2013 rMBP put thunderbolt drivers for lacie external thunderbolt/USB 3.0 drive?
I am wiping my current windows bootcamp partition and reinstalling windows using disk utility /bootcamp wizard to clean up and reinstall.
just curious if the Thunderbolt drivers get installed from bootcamp/windows sofytware update as I can't remember iif i had to do it manually before. I do see it shows up on windows side in device manager and if it is pluggged in during boot screen (to windows 7 pro 64 bit) shows ASMedia drivers being loaded for it.
Thanks

thank you so much I was pretty sure it did but wanted to be 100% sure as purpose of clean install was to clean up some mishaps I did with office 2007 (custom install), etc.
Many Thanks

Hi Ayyaparaj,
Thanks for ur reply.
but i cant use a table here. I just need a tree structure..
I guess Its posible by writing a code for a external window open in the onselect method itself.

If it is possible to install linux on a external hard drive?

If it is possible to install linux on a external hard drive, which can be boot from the my MacBook Pro? the reason I didn't try it is beacause that I don't know what it will do to my internal mac os x 10.5? Will it mess up my boot to my leopard?

it's possible, but difficult. i'm in the middle of trying to get this to work on my MacBook, but not there yet. The best resource i've found is here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510030
from what i've learned so far, in order to be able to boot linux on an external drive, the actual /boot partition must be on your internal drive. osx leaves a small (~130MB) partition unused, which can be used for this.
i think it would be easier to run on a partition of the internal drive, but now that i've started trying the external setup, i really want to make it work.

Should i put my table in my external style sheet?

Should i put my table in my external style sheet? if so how do i do this?
i'm having serious problems trying to stop my menu bar and header to stop jumping around when a switch pages. I realised i needed to create an external style sheet. however, when i extracted the ccs styles from my one of my pages (my homepage), there is only styles for my spry menu bar, nothing else. - however this doesnt stop my menu bar from moving around. all of my pages are use tables. so my menu bar and header are both 'td' rather than in a div or wrapper.
it seems as though nothing i try will stop my items from moving around. they are all exactly the same width and height in html and the same in css. I know about attaching style sheets, but i just cant seem to understand how to get everything aligned properly. I want my external style sheet to have my header at the top and centre, and my menu bar underneath and centre. How do i do this using a table? do i put the table into the external style sheet so that my table measurements etc are the same for each page? + how do i do this? Does anything else other than positions, colours, fonts etc go into my external style sheet? cos im aware that i use the html for the things i want to look different and every page, and the css for the things that i want to look the same. so which stuff goes in which? im getting really confused now, does my header and menu bar need to go in my external style as well as my html? :S
everything just seems to have gone horribly wrong, ive tried so many things, but everything i try simply has no effect. blahhh :/

and this is the external style sheet, which i extracted from my home page (the top code). what do i need to add to this?

Possible to Lock Dock icons?

I use a Wacom tablet and some times it is possible to 'swish' the cursor by the dock items and accidentally drag one onto the desktop where it goes 'Poof.' Since I have lots of applications I'm not always sure which one went 'poof' - it happens too fast.
My question: I am happy with the way the icons are on the dock - is there a way to lock it so they cannot be accidentally removed?
TIA,
Ken

Kenneth,
There is no option within SL to "lock the dock". I really wish there was.
I'd also like to see desktop icons not sized from the "pinch" option on trackpad. Those would be two great Enhancement requests.
Regards,
Captfred

IPod freezes when put in dock, EVERYTIME!

Hi all-
Ever since the newest version of iTunes (7.0.1), I have had freezing problems with my 5th generation 30GB iPod. I put it in the dock, and the "DO not disconnect" icon comes up and freezes, and the iPod will not show up on my desktop or in iTunes unless I reset it. This happens EVERY time! Any solutions? I'm up to the second on software updates.
Thanks all.
