How do I keep movies from automatically downloading to my computer, when purchased from iPad or Apple TV

I purchase movies from Apple TV and from my iPad. I don't want them to automataically download to my computer because I have limited space on my hard drive. I see in preferences you can choose to automatically download music, books and apps (or not). I can't find a way to stop movies from automatically downloading.

As A. Hanwell says... However you should still be downloading your purchases at some point for local backups. iTunes in the Cloud is not a backup service, and if the copyright owners of the content choose to remove it from the iTunes Store it will disappear from your purchase history and you will no longer have access to it. The only solution is to backup your purchases locally.

How to stop itunes making separate folders for every song

Each time i open a new tune in itunes it keeps making a separate folder for them which i dont want, i just want all my tunes in itunes media/music folder as they are.
I have unchecked to stop itunes organizing them but it still happens.
Kind Regards
Martyn

an alternative approach would be to keep both options in the advanced preference tab checked and drag the content from its current location into an open iTunes window *while holding the option key*.
iTunes will index the path to the original's location but not copy the file physically.
avoids having to check the settings on the advanced tab every time.

How do I set up iTunes so that it accesses my music & movies from the iTunes folders on the external hard rive in the usb port?

Recently deleted the iTunes folder on laptop to free up memory after I moved everything to external hardrive. Everything downloads from iTunes properly to the external hardrive; but I can not connect my ipad now and access my movies. Wha do I need to do so I can transfer movies back and forth to my ipad. When I connect my ipad it says it is registered t another library.

This article will help you.
1. Yes, you can trash the original folder. If you have a large media library, then yes you should free up a good chunk of space. However, you must also empty the trash. You can't just leave it in the trash or it will take up space.
2. Once you select the new media folder in iTunes as the article tells you, I believe all new downloaded media will automatically go to that new folder.

We recently purchased 26 iPads for an elementary lab. THe Apple Configuration tool does not do enough to help us lock students out of the settings folder to keep them from making changes. Is help on the way, or is there a third party solution available?

If we do not find a viable solution quickly, our district is going to stop purchasing iPads. HELP!

Unfortunately there isn't a way to completely lock out Settings. Apple designed iPads to be personal devices where user is "King"…which makes it a pain for school tech admins like you and I to manage. Apple only allows certain features and restrictions for 3rd party vendors to work with. So unfortunately there isn't a way to completely lock out Settings by a 3rd party vendor.
What settings are the kids changing? Perhaps there's a workaround that could help (until Apple makes things more school/enterprise friendly).

Burning photos in separate folders to DVD from iPhoto/F

Hi,
I have sorted my photos into various folders within an album on iPhoto and would like to burn these onto one DVD in their separate folders (as opposed to lumping them all onto one DVD in one big folder).
Unfortunately, when I insert a blank DVD and choose Open Finder, it no longer shows the photos in their separate folders, they are all bunched together. This would not be a problem if my SuperDrive (and Windows PC) didn't take a dogs age to preview the photos once they are burnt onto DVD but it does, therefore, I like to break them up into folders of around 100 photos each in order for the photo previews to load reasonably quickly.
Does anyone know how to keep the photos in their separate folders and burn them onto a DVD keeping them in their separate folders please?
Many thanks.

Let's make sure we have the same terminology here. In the left hand pane of iPhoto we have folders and albums. Folders can hold albums. So are you referring to albums within a folder?
If so you will have to export each album's photos to a folder on the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. Once all of the albums have been exported to its own folder drag them onto a blank DVD disc in the optical drive and burn.

Help with Automator - create workflow to move files to dated folders

If anyone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I have no idea how to use Automator, but I think it'd be perfect for this job.
I want to take a folder of files (images) and move them to separate folders which are named for the dates that the files were created on. So, for instance, I have a folder of ten images. Five were created on November 1st and the other five were created on November 2nd. I want to create two folders on the desktop with the dates in the name (like 20071101 & 20071102) and take the five images from 11/1 and move them to the 20071101 folder and the five images from 11/2 and move them to the 20071102 folder (sorry for the run-on sentence).
Is this possible with Automator? Is this an easy thing to do?
Thanks,
Antonio

I'm trying to do something very similar. I need to open an image sequence in QuickTime and export them to a mov file. Easy enough, but I would also like to create a new Finder folder and name it with today's date and save the mov file to that new folder.
What frustrates me is that it doesn't appear you can name Finder folders in any way other than using the Rename Folder action. I was hoping to use today's date that I had copied to the clipboard. Also, I have no experience using AppleScript, so hoping to avoid anything advanced there.

Move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom using PS Elements to keep Events and Albums

I am trying to move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom by using PS Elements as a go-between to keep events and album but it doesn't appear that the option to keep events and albums is possible using iPhoto '11. However, the instructions for coming from iPhoto '09 show that option. Is there any way to do this?

I’m not sure about that routine. I’m not even sure events are transferrable and there of lots of things that could go wrong. You may want to think about importing your masters directly into Ligtroom. From finder you need to be in Pictures (not the application) and control-click on iPhoto Library.
iPhoto will have created duplicates and hidden your originals. You need to find your masters from the iPhoto Library - Right-Click and select “Show Package Contents”
Older versions of iPhoto uses an Originals folder and in later versions; Masters. It’s not a good idea to go messing with the structure as it could corrupt the iPhoto Library. Apple has made this structure for good reason; so that you can always use the revert command to go back to an original, even if you have edited in iPhoto using cropping or red eye removal, for example.
However, if you have no further use for iPhoto, you could consider moving your originals/masters to a new folder structure (iPhoto automatically creates dated sub-folders) and then importing to Lightroom. Alternatively if you still need iPhoto, export duplicates to the desktop and bring those into Lightroom. That will keep iPhoto safe.
I do actually use iPhoto for creating events which can then be used to make cool slideshows within iPhoto. However Lightroom is my main management and photo editing tool and I have created an export pre-set for sending jpegs into iPhoto. I have even dragged the iPhoto Library off the hard drive to an external hard drive – but that means keeping it connected when using iPhoto.

How do I move my contacts and folders from Earthlink Webmail to Thunderbird

Just installed Thunderbird and I want to import all my contact addresses and saved folders from Earthlink Webmail to Thunderbird Mail.

Install thunderbird.
Create a mail account.
'''If POP mail account:'''

Pop mail accounts can only see the server Inbox. It downloads all previously not downloaded mail to the mail account Inbox.
Pop mail accounts cannot see any other fodler on the server. This is not a Thunderbird quirk, this is how all pop mail accounts work no matter what the email client.
To get emails downloaded from other folders on the server.
* Logon to webmail account.
* Move emails into Inbox.
* In Thunderbird click on GetMail.
* when emails are successfully doownloaded move them into suitable folders.
'''If IMAP mail account,'''
you need to subscribe to see folders.
then synchronize folders to keep local copies if desired.
more info on IMAP:

* select 'Text file (LDIF, .tab. .csv, .txt)
* click on Next

Is there a way to keep the Brush HUD up as I move from image to image?

I did a large set of portraits and would like to keep the Brush HUD up as I move from image to image making edits.
Being able to do this would save a little time and make the edits a little faster.
Thanks

Not that I've found. Some brush HUDs stay "up" when a different image is selected (crop, retouch), but most do not.
I suggest assigning easy shortcuts to any of the Quick Brushes you use regularly, and launching them from the keyboard.
This is also an instance where a multi-button programable mouse could pay for itself. Assign those shortcuts to some of the mouse buttons. (I use and recommend the Razer Naga; surely there are others, and newer ones. The increased resolution alone is worth the price -- but all that is off topic.)

Photoshop/Premiere Elements 13...are either capable of making time lapse movies from still images?

Photoshop/Premiere Elements 13...are either capable of making time lapse movies from still images? I heard this feature was removed from Premiere 13, after I purchased it =(

jorgeavanza
It am not understanding clearly what program is not closing
Photoshop Elements
or
Premiere Elements
There is the AdobePremiereElements.exe for Premiere Elements (video editing) and the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe for Photoshop Elements (photo editing).
Right now you keep mentioning Premiere Elements, but I am seeing your description more like Photoshop Elements.
Please clarify so that we can focus on the correct program and try to resolve its problems.
Thank you.

How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud. I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window. Please help. My Brain hurts- 18 movies need to go-.

Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

Is there a way to separate home movies from the movies category?

I want to put home movies on my Apple TV but don't want them to show up along with movies. Is there a way to separate them? I haven't tried it yet so maybe they are separated but I foresee not being possible right now.
For the moment, I've been streaming my home movies from .mac

As Chenks says... just create a genre for them.... just RT-Click on the home movies (can actually multi-select all of then and do them all at once) and change the genre to "home" or whatever you'd like and then when you go to AppleTV go to Genres > "Home" and they will all appear together there.

Can no longer access home movies from imovie theater on atv. Keep seeing the circle while waiting.

This indicates a network issue.
Power cycle the ATV and router, reboot the computer.
