Is there a way to move files on to my EHD (previously used for windows)

I have a macbook air. I have always used windows laptops and therefore my EHD, which has all my pictures on it, is not for mac. Is there any way to move all my pictures from iPhoto to my EHD? I have tried exporting and dragging them and it just does not work. I would hate to have to have all my pictures on two separate EHD's. My husband uses a Windows laptop so I'd like us both to be able to use it. I understand you can partition them but It is already so full of stuff, i don't want to have to wipe it.
Can anyone help?

How is the EHD formatted? For it to be used by the Mac and Windows it needs to be FAT 32 (DOS). If it is FAT 32 then you can export your photos out of iPhoto to folders on your Desktop and drag those folders to the EHD for storage.
If the EHD is formatted NTFS you'll need 3rd party software in order to be able to write to the disk.
You cannot copy an iPhoto Library to the EHD. Any format other than OS X Extended (journaled) will corrupt the library.

Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original? The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function. Am I missing something? It was so easy with Windows.

Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud?

Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud? I want to free up disk space on my Mac and assumed that the icloud would be a good way to do this, but having 'moved' 70Gb of files to the iCloud drive (I've upgraded to 200Gb storage) my Mac is still nearly full and I've realised that it seems to just Sync files just like dropbox.

So, the big question is did the Apple guys confirm that this is how the new iCloud drive should be working? I'm guessing, from your response, that this is indeed the case. Are they going to fix this anytime soon? I thought that this was a new function of the iCloud drive in Yosemite.
I just want an online storage facility to back up my photo & music collections. I did look at Dropbox as they have a good deal going with their Dropbox Pro, however this is still just a sync service where the Master files reside on your local disk drive - although I have read that there may be a way to work around this. Still not ideal.

Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

Is there a way to move iphoto libary to external but still use on orginal hard drive?

Basically what I want to do is move my pictures from my laptop's hard drive to an external because I have so many and then keep using iphoto on my laptop but without all the older photos on it. I don't want to have to plug my external in every time I want to transfer pictures from my camera to my laptop. I wasn't sure what the best way to do this was? Or if this was even possible?
I'm using iPhoto '09 verzion 8.1.2 if that makes any difference?
Thanks! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here's one way to do what you want:
1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the <b>option (or alt)</b> key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
A couple of comments:
a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.
c.
Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager

Is there a way I can view two pages at once on Adobe for Windows 8 Metro?

I'm not talking about the one document. I'm talking about multiple documents. Say I need to view two documents at once, side-by-side while I study (one is a formula sheet and the other is a question sheet).

No. Adobe Reader Touch is a Windows Store app with "modern" UI. None of Windows Store apps with "modern" UI can open two windows side-by-side. That's the Windows 8/RT application design decision that Microsoft has made.
If you want multiple documents/windows for the same app, your only choice is to use a desktop app (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) in the Windows 8 desktop environment.

Is there a way to move "back" and "forward" through the Library?

Is there a way to move "back" and "forward" through the Library?
For example, I'm editing Symbol_1, then I move to Symbol_22. Now to get back to Symbol_1 I need to find it again in the Library and double-click on it. Is there a shortcut for that?

No, but you can always use the library search option to widdle down the number of items displayed. It'd be a good feature request as I find myself hopping between specific movieclip depths on common clips often. Sort of like a clip/depth bookmark.

I have a number of audiobooks purchased through iTunes on my iPod touch. Is there a way to move or download them to the Cloud so that I can access them on other devices?

I have a number of audiobooks purchased through iTunes on my iPod touch. Is there a way to move or download them to the Cloud so that I can access them on other devices?

Thanks - I didn't realize that. I'm also embarrassed to admit that I don't know how to transfer the audio files from my iPod to the iTunes library on my computer. When I select a book from the list on the iPod, the only option I see with the right-facing arrow symbol is "Show in iTunes Store ". I back the iPod up to this computer so I guess those files must be on it somewhere, but all I can recognize in the iTunes folder under " Music" are the music files found in the "iTunes Music" folder. (There are also a ton of files named "iTunes Temp (some #).) The Books list on the computer shows some but not all of the audiobooks - I purchased the rest on a different computer that is now unfortunately dead. I'm guessing now that those didn't transfer over when the new computer was populated from the old one, so the iPod may be the only place where those audiobooks now reside. I hope that made some sense- any additional advice would be appreciated.

What's the best way to move files from my 2012 iMac to my 2014 MBP?

What’s a good way to move files from my 2012 iMac to my MBP?
I prefer to do graphic work on my 21-inch iMac (2012 version). But when I travel I need to copy files to my 2014 MBP. I learned that my 2012 iMac is too old for use of AirDrop, so I’m copying and moving files with a flash drive. That seems slow and clumsy. Is there a better way?

Target Disk Mode would provide a direct connection between the two Macs:

Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied? Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied? Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

If you've emptied the trash, ehtn no. However if you have a backup, like Time Machine, or a recent backup copy of your photo library you could recover the photos from the trash.
The answer to getting a snapshot form iMovie depends on what version you have.
I should add it technically may be possible to recover the emptied trash, but if you really want to do that you would need to download a utility software that can attempt to recover deleted files. Do it soon before you start writing more data to that disk. At the moment I don't have a recommendation for such a program. Maybe someone else out there will offer suggestion.

Is there a way to upload files directly to the cloud from bridge cc?

Is there a way to upload files directly to the cloud from bridge cc? I use bridge to organize my files. It would be a lot easier if I didn't have to drag and drop files into the cc folder, I was hoping that there might be an easier way.
thanks,

When you save them just make sure you save them to your Mac and not iCloud. For those that already exist, you can move them from iCloud by dragging and dropping them to somewhere else on your Mac. To see all the files in iCloud choose file > open in either pages or numbers.

Is there a way to move garageband content to another drive/location?

Hi, I have the latest version of Garageband and Mainstage on my Mac Pro.I use a 60gb SSD as my boot drive for performance, and have a second HDD for data.
Is there a way to move all the large content i.e. Loops, instruments, video tutorials etc to my second HDD but keep the main Garageband/ Mainstage apps on my SSD bootdrive?
I want to try and avoid using up too much space on my SSD and from what i can find online, it seems its possible to do this on the earlier versions of garageband.
Thanks

the loops are fairly easy to move (moving the instruments and other system files is not reccomended):
