Is the AirPort a viable way to save space?

Hey everyone -
I have a MacBook with an 80 gig hard drive and I'm beginning to run out of space. Most of my hard drive space is dedicated to the 4000+ songs I have. Would it be a good idea to get the Airport and an external hard drive to put all of my songs on?
How fluidly will iTunes and music on the network drive work? Will it make syncing with my iPod a hassle, or will it run seamlessly as if it were a normal hard drive?
Thanks.

Move the songs, de-authorize the eMac then authorize the iMac

    how do i disable the saving of past versions to save space?
    i realized that there have been many versions of the file and to save space, i wish to del or disable this function. anyway to do that?

    The question was if there is a way to disable past versions, not how to save a file. I too would like to know the answer to this.

  • If I have say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the 150 extras in part to save space on the hard drive, is there an easy way to find which photos to delete?

    If I have, say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM, and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the extra 150 photos, is there an easy way to know which 150 photos to trash? My idea is to not have hundreds of photos taking up space on the hard drive.
    Thanks.

    Various ways:
    Easy one: Flag the ones you want to keep (do this in the Album - Select All and Flag)
    Then:
    File -> New Smart Album
    Event -> contains -> Name of the Event
    Photo -> Is Not -> Flagged
    will find the unwanted 150.

  • Looking for a way to save space on iphone and maintain music in itunes

    Okay here is the problem, I own a macbook pro and a iphone 16gb and I have been using itunes to manage my music for a very long time and my library has grown into thousands of songs.
    Now, Is there a way to convert my music down to fit more on my iphone yet maintain my high bit-rate that I used to rip my CD's.
    I was thinking of converting all my music and having two of all my songs, high bit-rate(for playing on my stereo system) & and converted bit-rate(for my iphone) but I do not want genius to mess up and a crazily duplicated library.
    Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Angel-

    ALL of your problems are caused by not allowing your router to broadcast its SSID.
    Just turn that on and it will work just fine.
    Not broadcasting your SSID provides no real security. Guys who can hack your wifi will find your SSID via AirSnort in about 3 seconds flat.
    Broadcasting an SSID has NOTHING to do with turning off security.
    You already have wpa2 turned on. Leave it on, and simply tell the router to broadcast its SSID, enter the passphrase once more, and you will be a happy camper.

  • For printing: Is it possible to organize the address book in columns to save space in printed page? Otherwise the right half of the page remains empty.

    In the old Outlook Express it was possible to organize the address book printed page in double columns so you don't need to waist half of the page leaving empty areas. I can't find the way to do it in thunderbird. Thanks for your help.

    I don't have a calendar to test this, but you may have some success following these instructions:

  • Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

    Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
    I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
    Thanks

    One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.

  • I lost my phone while it was turned off, so find my iphone doesn't work. Is there anyway that Apple have a failsafe where they can turn the iPhone on so it shows up. The phone hasn't been turned on since I lost it and while I was on the way to the airport

    It happened on the way to the airport. I went for my pocket when we were checking in and it wasn't there. I'd turned it off to save battery for the flight and when we got home I checked the house and it wasn't there. I think it may have fallen out in the taxi but we called them and the driver driver said he couldn't find anything. It hasn't been turned on since I last turned it on. But I was wondering can Apple remotely turn my phone on in any way possible?

    There is no way of communicating with a phone which is switched off, therefore there is no way to tell it to turn itself on.

  • Is there a way to save the last curor position in Numbers?

    Is there a way to save the last curor position in Numbers? We have a custom Budget spreadsheet but every time we open the file, we have to scoll to the bottom of the spreadsheet.
    There are several thousand entries, and every time we open it, we have to scroll to the bottom of the screen which is getting fairly annoying.
    Every time we open it, regardless of what sheet or cell we are in when it is saved previously, it opens at the top....
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    reverse the order of you entries and add rows at the top of the table.  That is have newest date entries at the top and oldest at the bottom

  • Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all?

    Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all? I have designed a number of fillable forms and sent them to our clients as Reader extended pdfs to be filled out and sent back. Now, certain clients want to be able to fill in the fields and save the doc as a pdf that can't be tampered with so that they can send it to their own people for signature to be returned to them hand-signed and scanned via email.
    Since the forms have been secured, and my cleints are only using the free Acrobat Reader, how can they save the filled in form as a static pdf to send on for signature? They do not want to have to print, scan and email. Is there an app, plug-in, simple solution to this?
    Thank you,
    Rumor

    The signature WILL work! I've just looked into it more, thank you so much for pointing me in that direction.
    I get it now, it locks the form fields in place after my coworker fills them in and signs it (as the very last step).
    I wish I would have asked on here a full day ago. Would have saved a lot of headache and Googling.
    Thanks again.

  • I photo pics are in album, but need to upload from add item page on etsy.  Cannot find where the pics are in my computer.  I did put a name on each one.  What is the best way to save an individual pic to be able to find it on the computer so as to upload?

    I have an online etsy shop.  There is a page on which to list a new item to be added to one's shop.  When it is time to upload the pic or pics, I cannot find them,eventhough each has a name and all are in an i photo album.  On my old computer I would "save as" and then could find it easily in my computer.  In the new mac I just got, I cannot easily find the pic when trying to upload.  Could you tell me an easy way to save each pic so that I can find it for uploads to that site?  Thanks in advance. OS is Snow Leopard. Whatever i photo came with that would be the product I am using.

    The following is from a post by Terence Devlin on accessing photos for use outside of iPhoto.  It's the definitive treatise on the subject.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running: 
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation   which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3.Show File:
    a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 
    b. On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

    I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

  • What's the best way to save a .pdf with comments?

    I really like the comment features in Acrobat X, but I'm a little stuck on what "Save As" function is the best for .pdfs. For example, I also use the GoodReader App quite a bit on my phone, and I've noticed that they have an option to "flatten" the markups on a file. When exporting the markings will open up just fine in any .pdf reader. I really like that system, but most of the time I need to use my laptop for the keyboard.
    With Acrobat X some markups are consistent (mainly the drawing ones), but the annotation ones are not as easy to figure out.
    So, what do you guys recommend for which format is best for saving. Essentially, I plan to grade student essays with markup and then e-mail the files back (or, if it is not too time consuming, upload them in GoogleDocs and then share the link). Either way, I'm looking for the best overall way to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I use stamps and text boxes most often. Occasionally I use the text-editing tools in the comments area, but they really don't save well when I flatten the file. Occasionally, I'll add a file to pdf when I need to extensively comment on a certain area of the pdf. Depending upon the comment I'll either use a text file (my preferred choice), an rtf, or pdf.

  • I purchased some movies off iTunes from my account from my fathers IPad as a gift but didn't realize can not view if not logged with my account. Is there any way to save directly to the IPad (regardless of account)? Or transfer to him so he can view have?

    I purchased some movies off iTunes from my account (but from my father IPad) to download as a gift,
    but didn't realize he can not view if not logged in with my account.
    Is there any way to save directly to the IPad (regardless of account) so he can view?
    Or transfer to his account?
    Or is any was to cancel the recent purchase if can not transfer as I will not watch these myself?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
