New to the Mac World - please help...

I have purchased a Time Capsule to use as a Hard Drive with my Mac Book air so I don't drown it in files.
I would like to know how to change the preferences so I can store application files on the Time Capsule.
Mainly in Mail - I want to create a Mail Box that allows me to store all my emails in a Mail Box on the time capsule and not actually on my hard drive.
The same for other programs.
Hope this makes sense but I don't know where to go...

I'm new to the Mac world. I installed my Epson printer on my IMAC and it worked fine. Then I installed Windows7 through Bootcamp and I think it reconfigured a port and now I get a communication error and it won't print. Any help on how do to fix this?

Sorry, I'm new to the Mac world. I recently got a new IMAC and installed my Epson CX5800F printer and it worked fine. Then a few weeks later I installed Windows7 through Bootcamp and I think it reconfigured a port or something and now I get a communication error and it won't print. Can anyone help me with this problem, and/or help me get the port back the way it was? Thanks, Barry

I'm new to the MAC world. I turned my computer on from 'sleep' mode, and a window was up stating that the IOS disk was full; asked me to force quit, then it just froze. It's been 2 hours. Help! I'm worried about losing photos/videos of my children. Thx!

I'm worried about losing photos/videos of my children. Im not sure if there's something special I need to do once I turn it back on; in the meantime, its still on... which I'm afraid the picture on the screen will burn into the screen. Does that happen on iMac's? Thx!

Try a hard reset. ( holding Power til it restarts)
Once to your desktop. Click the Apple icon >> About this mac >> More info>> Storage
Once you see what you have the most of. Try to see what you can delete.
Open up any folder>>all files>> or buy an external to store more data.
Once deleting make sure you empty your trash.
If you are new and its a new computer, you might need to bring it to a store for further assistence.

Force quit/Restart the Finder.

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

New to the MAC world - can you suggest a new drive for my G4?

Hi, I'm a newcomer to the MAC world after using Windows for years. I'd long wanted to make the switch and now my chance has come I'm absolutely delighted.
At the moment I'm still finding my way around but I already have an idea about upgrade choices and the first is to replace the Hitachi GD-7000 DVD-ROM drive. It appears to be unable to read at least one commercial DVD and has problems with some data CDR/RW's from my collection (the same discs work fine in numerous standalone players and other DVD drives).
Although I live in a "region 2 zone", I buy lots of region 1 films via Amazon and out of 7 discs tried using VLC only one worked (they all work on my PC's) - is this because of regional coding issues such as RCE or rather the Hitachi's age?
I realise that ultimately the drive will have to be replaced and I would appreciate it if you could please offer suggestions on suitable drives.
Thanks,
Jay

Thanks a lot for all the feedback, I've visited the links that you posted for me to check out and tomorrow I'm going to buy the Pioneer DVR-110D. As Malcolm stated, it can be picked up very cheaply (£23!)

Received a macbook pro and im trying to log onto my wireless network and it just ain't happening. the mac is for the missus for xmas day and im setting it up while she is away, however i cant connect to my home wireless network which is WEP encrypted 128-bit. It has originally been configured on a PC (I know boo hiss!). I'm putting all the correct info in and im proper scratching me head now. Any help would be greatly appreciated on this. Many thanks in advance.

Brand new to the Mac World and NEED SOME HELP with startup disk issues

Hello everyone. I am a new Mac user and I purchased my mac on ebay. It's an iMac that came with tiger 10.4.11. I wanted to get a fresh start on the computer, since the person who had it before me did not erase all of his stuff. I didn't know what to do so I got a startup disk/install disk off ebay also. When I go to install it says "software cannot be installed on this computer." Before I bought the software, I had called the apple store and they said it should be fine to buy any install software to put on the computer. If I could get any help it would be appreciated. I had read previous threads that I should hold down c when I start up (didn't work) or that I should select archive or erase and install (I never got these options when I went to install).

A warm welcome to the Discussions!
What iMac is it? I only ask as the Retail Tiger CD/DVDs don't work on IntelMacs, only PPC, (G3, G4, G5 Macs).
Sorry what you were told by the Apple Store, but if it's a Gray CD/DVD then it is Machine specific as Neil stated.
Sooo, what exact iMac is it, and what does it say on the CD/DVD?

Need the code to make these to new objects in BW world, please help...

I have two fields that I get from the source (to DSO):
CREATE_DATE (YYYYMMDD)
REPORT_MONTH (YYYYMM)
First I want to make a infoobjects (called CREATE_MONTH) that takes the YYYYMM from the CREATE_DATE.
The I also want to make an indicator (called MONTH_IND) that have a test on infoobjects called CREATE_MONTH and REPORT_MONTH.
The logic should be something like this:
If CREATE_MONTH is 3 month earlier than REPORT_MONTH the indicator should say over 2 month
If CREATE_MONTH is 4 month earlier than REPORT_MONTH the indicator should say over 3 month
Etc.
Conclution:
Need two new objects:
1. CREATE_MONTH
2. MONTH_IND
Can someone give me some help on how to do this Please?

Hi Elaine!
First of all I´d like to thank your answer.
I know what you mean; I had a gif animated file in my web site and I converted it in a swf file, that is the reason why I couldn´t do the correct to make the link. I thought that I could make the link with a simple code but thanks to this foro, now I know that it is a bit more complicated.
Anyway, I think that it is better if I read the tutorial to know how this work.
Thank you again and have a nice day!

Help! I'm new to the Mac World!

Hi I am looking at buying one of the new 2011 MacBook Air's. Currently I am considering the base model with the 1.6 processor, 2gb ram and 11" screen I usually only use my laptop for powerpoint, word documents, music and webs surfing.
Will this version of the air allow me to listen to music, whilst using word or powerpoint and surf the web as the sametime. Or will it struggle?
Also as I understand it with the new ThunderBolt port it is possible to connect it to my 24" LCD monitor via a DVI cable, is this correct.
One more thing, will the external hard drive I have been using with my windows notebook work with the MBA?
Thanks
JJ

New to the Mac World

I am tired of just all the problems that windows brings and will be going to the apple store and buying an iMac. I need some help though.
I know this has probably been answered alot but I have searched and have only really found one thread asking this question.
Should I buy the iMac 2.0 or the 2.4. I don't play any games on the computer. What I do use it for is photos, watching dvds at times, browsing the net. At times I can be on AIM, the internet and messing with photos all at the same time. If I buy the 2.0 and get 2GB of RAM will this suffice for my needs and still run really smooth. Please any feedback will be great cause I really want to get a mac but just not sure which one to go with.

I'm going to be really annoying right now. I would say that you're choice isn't really between the 2.0 and the 2.4. I'd say it's between the 2.0 and 2.8.
Personally I think that for the difference in price, when compared with the 2.4, the 2.8 is worth the extra (more hard disk space, more ram and a faster processor). So the big question is the 2.0 or the 2.8.
So you've got the bigger hard disk, more ram, 1ghz (roughly) faster processor (in each core that is), the better graphics card, and the bigger and better screen. And that little list, combined with the fact you can't upgrade much later, made me go for the 2.8. I have no regrets and now don't know how I lived without the real estate that the 24" screen has given me (it's quite often full and I'm very grateful for spaces lol).
Most people will wonder how. Just think of what it's like when you've got itunes, your browser, amsn, streaming the news, email and maybe a word document. Well that's most of my spaces gone on this size screen.
Basically go with the best spec that you can afford to. By all means don't spend more than you can. But if you don't get the best you can now, then you'll be kicking yourself a year or so down the line.
