Is there a way to backup only the Originals folder to DVD?

I've really messed up the file names of my photos in several ways: by mistakenly changing a camera setting, importing some from different cameras, and editing and saving the edited versions (elsewhere, TG, not in iphoto), thereby replacing/rewriting some of my edited photos.
However, I think all the originals, or copies of them, are in the iphoto originals folder. I'd like to save/store/archive all of them to DVD(s) that I can store elsewhere, and then delete the library - with the exception of a few favorites - and start over. When I tried to burn the library to a disk, it didn't give me the option of using multiple disks because of the size (@20G), I just got a msg stating the disk was too small. Is there a way to burn the Originals folder only?
thanks,
Melissa

How does one "right-click" on a Mac?
How does one "duplicate"? ("command C"?).
Assuming that I can then find this copy, how do I split into smaller folders? (Highlight a portion of library and then create a smaller folder?- or is there another way?). Does this allow me to split using my Events categories and keep that structure in the smaller folders on the DVDs?
I have backed-up everything including iPhoto onto 2 different types of external drives (a third drive - a LaCie has me stumped) and am now trying to figure out how to backup iPhoto onto DVDs. The instructions I have found say to go to Finder; create a Burn Folder; then Burn. This creates a file that can be read by both Macs and PCs. I have 66 GB of photos so I need to break up iPhoto into smaller chunks for burning to DVDs - therefore, your post is of interest to me.
Sorry for the simple questions but after nearly 3 years using a MacBook, I am still trying to figure out the "cleverness" in its operation.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Homesharing gives you the option of seeing only the content in the shared library, that is not already in your own library.

Is there a way to view only the apps I'm not using?

If I attach all my iOS devices to my computer, is there a way to view only the apps in my iTunes library that are NOT being used by any device? To make it easier to know which I'm not using, so I can delete them off my computer and free up some space?

In Settings:
General->Network->Cellular Data: Switch off.

Is there a way to move to the previous folder by using the keyboard?

Is there a way to move to the previous folder by using the keyboard? Just the same as clicking the left arrow at the top left of the Finder window? I know how to do this in Windows (press and hold the Alt key and press the left arrow key.)
Is this possible in MacOSX?
Thanks,
Jeff

Command-Up Arrow is not the same as the left arrow button in the tool bar. Command-Up Arrow moves up one folder in the file system hierarchy. To go back, use Command-[.

Is there a way to download only the HD version of a movie and not the SD version?

In order to save space and to not exceed my service provider's data limit, I'd like to know if there is a way to download only the HD version without having to download the SD version as well? Currently, I have to open the "Download" box and highlight all of the SD downloads and delete and remove them. Of course, it begins to download them the next time I open up iTunes (and yes, I have turned off and on the auto-download feature).
Any help is much appreciated.

I did get an answer to this question from the rep at my local Verizon store. I just wanted to provide the answer in case someone else has the same question.

Is there a way to view only the bands/albums/songs that are already downloaded to my iPhone?

In the artists list, the 'cloud' icon only disappears when all of that artists albums have been downloaded, so that isn't an easy way to tell. Is there a method to view just the bands/albums/songs that I have downloaded? Thank you for any assistance that is available.

There is an option in Settings --> Music --> Show All Music. If it is ON, all your music will show. If you turn it OFF, it will show only music on your phone.

Is there a way to sync only the calendar with the new control panel?

I did the iCloud control panel update on my work machines this morning and it looks like it will only sync the calendar with outlook if you let it sync your contacts and tasks as well. The main reason I use iCloud is to sync my work meetings/events between my work PC and my phone. It liked the way it worked before, but now the user has less control over what it syncs. Is there a way to sync the calendar only?
Also, it's made outlook quit unexpectedly on both machines, but I assume they'll have bug fixes eventually. I'm running one machine with Office 2007 and one with 2010.

The iCloud Control Panel 2.0, just release with iOS 6, forces users to upload Outlook contacts to iCloud in order to sync calendar and reminders with iPhone. This is unacceptable to me. Because of this and bugs in the Outlook/iCloud plugin, I have discontinued use of iCloud and will sync my iPhone with Outlook using itunes. I will have to forego using Outlook task syncing with iPhone reminders because iTunes doesn't sync them, which is unfortunate.

Integrating Facebook in Mountain Lion has caused duplicated birthday events in my Calendar. Is there any way to show only the birthdays of my iCloud contacts, and ignore birthdays from my Facebook contacts?

I do not have any contacts on my local machine. Before updating to Mountain Lion, I stored all of my contacts and calendars in iCloud. When I updated and integrated Facebook, it added the Facebook contacts and all of their information to my Contacts directory. I have merged all duplicated data, and still my Calendar shows a birthday entry for my iCloud contact, and a second entry for the Facebook version of the same (merged and linked) contact. Is there any way to disable Facebook birthdays in my Calendar? Or, for bonus points, is there any way to merge the Facebook category of contacts with my iCloud contacts so that I never see duplicated data in any applications?

You can disable the facebook contacts by going to System Preferences -> Mail Contacts and Calendars -> Facebook, and the unchecking contacts. That will remove your facebook contacts from your contact book. Not sure if thats exactly what you want, but that's the only thing I could discover.

Is there a way to import only the Address Bookfrom OE into TB? When I started to import my full data, I clicked Cancel, TB crashed, & my Address Book vanished.

Hi, I am in the process of migrating from Outlook Express 6 to Thunderbird. Thunderbird made the migration very easy, a click of an "Outlook Express" radio box selection for import. But then I made it hard on myself by deciding I wanted to fix an OE .dbx folder-file (make it importable, previously not imported likely because it was marked "read only" and then re-import. I started to re-import OE into TB but then got nervous when I saw everything was importing, not a single dbx folder-file I wanted to fix. I clicked "Cancel" in TB, and then, when I later opened TB, noticed that my Address Book now is empty. It was definitely full before. Any ideas how to import strictly my contacts again? I am thinking of importing my entire OE data again if the answer to that post is that the re-import will not result in double OE line items. If I re-import all of OE, my Address Book should reappear, too, right?

Oops, I found the answer to my question. Great knowledge base! I had originally imported via the automatic popup dialog box that appeared when I installed TB, and didn't absorb at the time that there would be a way to do an import later, after TB install, too, and even for specific parts of OE (address book vs. mail messages, etc.).
I pasted the link to the "Migrate to Thunderbird" page that includes how to migrate just an Address Book from OE, but the following is all that pastes in: 9723729938
I have typed out the link here:

Is there a way to sync only the latest photo version (not master) from Aperture 3.2 to iPhone through iTunes?

I'm interested in only having the latest version of a photo stack sync to my iPhone, currently it only syncs the master image and ignores any versions that have been created.
Thank you!

Firefox 2 versions used bookmarks.html format to store bookmarks, you can '''import''' that type of bookmarks file format into all later versions of Firefox. <br />
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... - from file
The correct version of the Password Exporter extension can be installed in the old Firefox 2 version, to export you password data. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/versions/#version-1.2
Then install the correct version of that extension in the newer version, so you can restore your passwords into the newer version. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/

A way to backup only my iPod's playlists?

Hello!
This may be a stupid question but is there a way to backup only my iPod's playlists? I haven't found such an option and it feels quite stupid to backup my entire music collection.
I'm using iTunes 7.0.1.8 and a 1st generation iPod nano (4Gb).
Windows XP Pro

And by playlist I meant music library.
So I'd like to backup only songs that are on my iPod, not all existing music files on my computer.

Use the Sort: Aspect Ratio option and all horizontal/vertical images will be grouped.

Is There A Way To Save Just The Masked Area As The Rendered Video?

Have a little 10 second clip.
Masked out the object of interest, and tracked it, with Track Mask.
Is there any way, to render only the masked section, as the final rendered video, so that the final render does not include all the black area around my mask?
Yes, I could render out with Alpha, but that will still leave a "bigger than the cropped area" video size.
Thank you

If you have set up a masked area and you want to render a video with a transparent background simply add your composition to the render queue. In the output module click on the down arrow and select lossless with Alpha as your output format. This will render a digital intermediate with an alpha channel useful in your nonlinear editor or in After Effects.
Media players such as QuickTime or Windows media player will not recognize the alpha channel. If you are planning to put a transparent video on the webpage for example, this will not work because the Web does not support transparent backgrounds in video.

HT201210 When iOS 6.0 updating my iPhone and connecting my iPhone to iTunes the only option I have, is to restore my iPhone. But ufortunately, I did not back up my iPhone before the updating. Is there any way I can avoid the restoring process? Rikke

When iOS 6.0 updating my iPhone and connecting my iPhone to iTunes the only option I have, is to restore my iPhone. But ufortunately, I did not back up my iPhone before the updating. Is there any way I can avoid the restoring process?

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...
