Need help transfering my downloaded shows onto my External HD....

1.) Okay I'm dumb. Sorry.
2.) I'm probably in the wrong category, but I need to know how do I get itunes to automatically download my TV shows onto my external hard drive? Also, I've alread started the process of downloading two shows, but once again, in the wrong area. Is there anyway Itunes can re-download it back to my external hard drive instead of my "already maxed out" internal hard drive? Thanks for the help.

Hi
Karsten made the main point but one advice I think You can get that is same
for nearly all the forums (or fora ??).
This that Your internal hard disk is nearly full - NO GOOD way to work in.
This might make You irritated on bad performances and blame You Mac when
it's really Your faulth.
Your Mac is heavely dependent on virutal memory and if the free space on
Your internal disk goes under 10 to 20% of it's size - everything will be slowed
down and You might wonder what's Your Mac is up to.
Second bonus advice. If You use an external hd and work with video then it
HAS TO be formatted as Mac OS Extended NOT UNIX or DOS.
but as said - keep to the right forum
Yours Bengt W

    "apps back"?  Why did they leave?  What type of iPhone do you have?  What version of iOS?  What were the exact symptoms of their leaving?

  • On my mac I have my downloads from i tunes. I have previously transferred thousands of songs onto an external hard drive. How do I show these songs and albums in my i tunes on my mac without adding them to the computer as there is insufficient space ?

    PLEASE HELP ME. I transferred my music library onto an external hard drive as it contains about 30 000 songs. I got a second hard drive as extra security and loaded the songs onto that as well. Both hard drives now contain my music library however when I click onto my i tunes on my mac I am only seeing the music that I have downloaded from the i tunes store that has been kept in the cloud. How do I get my music from the hard drive to be recognized on my mac? Please, please, please help!!!

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • My computer is full.  i need to download everything onto a external and then clear out the mac.  This terrifies me I am afraid I am going to loose something important and I have no idea what to do once I do get things saved on the external.

    I am down to a fraction of memory left and it is slowing everything down on my computer.  I took it into the Apple store and they told me I need to download everything onto an external hard drive and dump my computer. They showed me how and sent me home.  This whole process terrifies me because I am so afraid of loosing something important, like pictures, that I have put it off.  I need help walking me through this process because once I get everything saved onto the external I have no idea what to do next.
    I know I need to update by operating system but I don't have enough room in the computer to do that.

    If it scare y ou then take the machien back and ask the Apple Store to do this for you. What has probably filled your computer is large libraries such as music,  photos and movies. Apple explains how to move those libraries to an external HD. Please read:

  • I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.

    I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.  I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers.  I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect.  I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own.  One is operational and one is dead.  I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

  • I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to the new one. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Pro  Mac OS X 10.7.4  2.6 Ghz Intel Core 17. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    you can't just move XP even if you took the hard drive and have Windows boot and function.
    Apparently there are Windows tools to sanitize the OS and strip all the motherboard drivers and services.
    Time to get a supported OS. Don't want to pay, then use 8 for the time until it goes on sale.
    There are no drivers for even Vista on 2011 and later Macs.

  • New mac user needs help transfering files from Dell...

    I have a Dell running Windows XP and need help transfering the files from the dell to the mac.
    Also I have no idea what OP system I have, how do you tell which one you have???

    Go to the blue Apple menu and scroll down to "About this Mac"
    In the summary window that opens you will find the following information:
    Mac OS X version (assuming you are running OS X)
    Processor speed.
    Memory
    Startup disk
    The More Info button will take you to an in-depth overview of hardware, network set-up and installed software.
    As far as transference is concerned, you can either transfer files via CD, DVD, external hard drive... or by networking the two computers.
    Here's a link for an overview concerning Mac to PC connectivity:

  • I'm trying to download itunes onto an external harddrive, but it keeps defaulting to my computers drive which does not have the room. How do I sort this please?

    I'm trying to download itunes onto an external harddrive (named as D) which has loads of space, but it keeps defaulting to my computers (C) drive which does not have the required space. How do I sort this please?
    I've tried selecting the D drive but, it still defaults to my computers drive and wont let me change it.
    Heeeeellllllllpppppp!

    I think you've misunderstood.
    iTunes ONLY works on the C drive.  There is no moving it.  End of discussion.
    The MEDIA can be house on any other drive (internal or external).
    Install iTunes correctly using the default options.
    Once it is installed and working correctly with everything on the C drive, close iTunes.
    Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 to move the iTunes media folder.

  • Need help transferring downloads...

    My old computer is completely ruined and I want to access the music I have downloaded from iTunes on my new laptop, is that even possible? Home sharing is not an option, nor are any of the other methods listed on the help sites.

  • Need Help to re-download my Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12 to a new laptop Win-8 64-bit

    When I purchased the special deal of Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12, I owned a Windows Vista (32-bit) laptop. When I downloaded my purchase, all went smoothly, no problems w/Photoshop when I used the mouse's wheel-scroll feature, it helped me zoom in to specifically pinpoint areas in pictures t/b fixed, etc.
    I now have a NEW laptop ... Windows 8 (64-bit). I re-downloaded my Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12 onto my new one. Options to download the Premiere Elements showed I should use the "bottom" option to download for Win-8/64-bit - did that w/no problem. There were NO OPTIONS showing that the Photoshop Elements 12 had to ALSO be using a specific way to be downloaded? Consequently, I think (?), the problem that I'm having in using the mouse's wheel-scrolling feature may have been affected by using the "normal" format to download???
    So here's my question:  Because I bought this combined deal, should I have ALSO used the bottom option showing installation for 64-bit Premiere Elements 12??? I WOULD APPRECIATE A TIMELY RESPONSE - NEED HELP ON GETTING MY PHOTOSHOP WORKING PROPERLY, NOW!
    Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions that can resolve my frustrating experience on this!

    Oops!!!! I accidentally found my answer within my Photoshop Elements 12 "Preferences" folder! Only one part of my question remains --- what about how to download it as a 64-bit option, or does it matter at all?
    Sorry to have panicked about this, but when I started using it, the cursor movements seemed unstable so I thought it was because of downloading for a 32-bit instead of my current OS-64bit!

  • Need help getting ipod/phone videos onto a DVD that will play in my dvd player

    I have so many videos on my old ipod and my two iphones. I need to get them onto a DVD that will play in my dvd player because they are all the videos I have of my kids when they were babies(bad I know!) So I bought iLife and have iDVD and a macbook pro laptop. Would anyone be willing to write step by step what i need to do to get them onto a DVD as I am very new to all the technology these days. Thank you so much in advance

    First you need to get them onto your Mac.  Use image capture and download them to a folder on the Desktop.  Next, you need a video DVD authoring program.  IMO iDVD is the best.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Softwareor eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the download movie files into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.  Some themes will only allow 6 items per menu, including sub menus, others up to 10 I believe.  Sub menus can always be added to add more movies to the project. This is an example of a project with multiple slideshows/movies and menus:
    IMPORTANT:  iDVD is not concerned with the size of the media files in regards to what the iDVD disk can hold.  All that's important is the total playing time of all of the movie files including the menus.  A single layer DVD disc can hold up to 120 minutes of playing time.  A double layered disk 240 minutes.  IMO it's best to go with multiple single layered disks.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • New mac user, need help transferring music from external hard drive

    I am new to using a mac. I have had an iphone for almost a year so I am catching on quickly to my macbook but this problem has stumped me and all my mac using friends.
    I have a 500gb seagate external hard drive aswell as a new 500gb seagate internal.
    I transferred all my music from an old ipod onto the external hard drive. There is about 50gb of music.
    When I plug my external into my pc desktop I can see the music folder organized into subfolders with files inside that are encoded unless they are opened in itunes. My pc doesn't have enough internal memory to open and store my music library so I have just left it on the hard drive. When I plug the hard drive into my macbook it will show the music folder as having 50gb but when the folder is opened, none of the subfolders or files are visable.
    I went ahead and dragged the folder from my harddrive onto my desktop. It took about an hour to transfer all the files but now the folder is sitting on my desktop and when I open it, it is empty. If i look in the folders info, it says it has the 50gb. If i try to drag and drop it into itunes nothing happens. If I drag and drop it into the itunes music folder, it will go there but will not show up on itunes.
    I'm stumped and no longer eligable for apples telephone support as I bought this macbook from a friend. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I have a couple of theories, but I'm not an iTunes expert. These people are, though:

  • I need help! i downloaded new music and plugged my iphone into my computer and after i did that i lost all my pictures and everything that i need!!! it restored my iphone back to setting from february of last year when i last had an iphone, HELP! PLEASE!

    I need some help fast please!! i have had the iphone since august and have videos and pictures i need like 100% need, and today i downloaded music and plugged my phone into my computer. The phone synched and it did to the settings when the iphone 4 first came out last year, dating back to when i first had it on february 24th, 2011. I need to restore it back but everytime i try to do it through itunes it puts me back to the same settings, i hope someone knows how to fix this problem, i would greatly appreciate any help!!!!

    Check here and see if you got an automatic backup when you pluuged into iTunes.   (Fingers Crossed) 
    Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    If the recent backup is there, simply restore your phone from that backup.  It sounds to me that instead of syncing the phone just by connecting it to the computer, you may have restored the phone to your ancient backup.  No problem if you have the newer backup, but a huge problem if you don't have the recent backup.
    If, in fact, you did restore the phone instead of getting a backup thru the (automatic) sync process, I'd strongly suggest getting the difference between the two straight in your mind.
    My other suggestion would be to understand that your iPhone is "managed" thru iTunes.  You need to connect the two whenever possible instead of using the charger.
