Opening multiple desktops - spaces? How do I create a new desktop

Can someone tell me how I create another desktop on my 27inch screen - I have been told it is known as a 'space' which seem to show up in mission control but where can I add another? Hope this makes sense ! Thanks

If you open Mission Control you'll see 2 sections. The majority of the screen will show you the contents of your current Space and the top of the screen will show you the other Spaces running that you can switch to (by default you should see 2 Spaces - your Desktop and Dashboard). To create a new Space, move your cursor to the top-right of your Mission Control screen and new Space will partially slide onto the screen. Click it to add it and then you can either drag windows from the current Desktop Space to the new Space or switch to the new Space and open applications/windows there directly.
So far I haven't worked out how to rename the new Spaces opened, if that is even possible.

4 of us on 1 Apple ID/icloud acct. How do I create 3 new ID's?

We have 4 members of our family on one Apple ID, and sharing one Cloud acct. How do I create 3 new ID's? Our cloud acct is full, and we need our own space! :-)

One person can keep their devices on the current account. The others can create new accounts with new IDs, then migrate a copy of the data to the new account. To do this, first create the new Apple IDs here: https://appleid.apple.com/account. This will require a verifiable non-Apple email account for each. Then, to migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep on the device to the camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll (or Save Image if it's running iOS 8). If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in the new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (or Sign Out if running iOS 8), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice when prompted. (Deleting the account only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; devices keeping the current account will not be effected by this.) Then sign back in with one of the new Apple IDs to create the new account and choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.
Once everyone is on separate accounts, you can each go to iCloud.com and delete the other people's data from your account.

How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).

How do I create a new folder in my documents?

Hi there, I'm new on Mac.
How do I create a new folder when I want a new folder in my documents?
I also want to create folders on an extern harddrive, but I can only create a folder on the launchpad...

See my orginal post - it answered the OPs question just fine:
When you have any window open, you can press the Shift-Command-N keys to create a new untitled folder. Same with on an external hard drive. Also works on the Desktop.
Maybe I should have said, to your reply:
"and you don't have to open any windows to use the command on the Desktop."
Would that have worked for you?

How do I create a new frame using Flash CS5 on a Mac so I can add more pictures to my website?

I have what I hope is a fairly straight forward question that I hope you can answer if you write code with a Mac or are at least familiar with the process on a Mac? The person I have been working with to create my photography website uses a PC. Here is the problem. I am trying to use my Mac in order to create frames so that I can add 5 more images to a portfolio that presently has 15 images. The code is in an index.fla file. If I want to create a new frame in the index.fla, let's say LOAD CODE 381 and want to use the same text that is already present in LOAD CODE 380 but with a few edits, I have no trouble going to the Action-Movie Clip and finding LOAD CODE 380 in the left hand column. The problem is, on a Mac, how do I create frame LOAD CODE 381 and then how do I copy and paste the text from LOAD CODE 380 into LOAD CODE 381? It looks like on a PC one can open LOAD CODE 380 in the Action-Movie Clip, highlight the text then right click on the red rectangular box in the timeline. By doing so (on a PC) one sees a drop down menu that gives the option to "copy key frame". What is the equivalent of the "copy key frame" on a Mac? I can see where on the Mac you can go to Edit >copy. Is this the equivalent of "copy key frame" on a PC? If so, once I "copy" the text how do I create the new LOAD CODE 381 so that I can paste the text into the new frame?
I WOULD BE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO ANYONE WITH THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION! THANK YOU!!!!!

Sorry not to be more clear. It is a name assigned to one of the
frames by the person who originally designed the website and is shown
in the list of about 150 action frames that were created in this
particular fla document. This "list" comes up in the left hand column
of the Action-Frame box. When I click on Load Code 380 which is half
way down the column of frames, the following text comes up on the
large screen to the right of the column of 130 frames.
IMAGE.gotoAndPlay("start");
loadVariables("data/series01/15title.txt", "_root.IMAGE.TITLE");
loadVariables("data/series01/15price.txt", "_root.IMAGE.PRICE");
loadMovie("data/series01/about.swf", "_root.IMAGE.ABOUT");
IMAGE.mc_pic.attachMovie("pic","pic",1,)
IMAGE.mc_picTHUMB.attachMovie("pic","pic",1,)
This text is what I am trying to transfer to copy then paste into a
new frame after which time I want to slightly edit the text. I am not
a programer so I apologize if I am not using all of the correct
terminology.
Thank you again, Jon

How do I create a new calendar for the current year, using last years calendar's birthday's/photos and comments from the lower pages?

Each year for the past 5 years I make a family calendar and send copies to all he family members around the globe. I hate that I have to recreate all the birthdays and special occasions from scratch, and re-drag all the photos onto these dates, in the lower half of the page of each month on the new calendar. How can I create a new calendar for the current year and port all of these photos/comments into the new calendar from last years calendar, to save having to redo all this work!! I am not talking about the upper half page of the photos only...I am referring to the calendar page of each month.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open iWeb so you see your original site in the left hand pane. Use the File->New Site menu option to create a new site. Give it the name you want.
Now select a page in your original site and type Command+D. That will duplicate the page. Drag the duplicate page down to the new site and rename it as needed. Do that for the other pages you need in the original site.

An email address can only be associated with one Apple ID at a time. You will have to remove it from the other ID or use a different email address.

How do i create a new email address?

how do i create a new email address in Mail?

Have you already established a new email account with an email provider such as Apple, Yahoo, Google, etc.? From the email provider you will need to know the email address ([email protected]), and the password for the account. If this is a common used provider such as iCLoud, MS Exchange, Google, Yahoo, or AOL that is all you will need to know Mail will fill in the rest of the information automatically. For other accounts you will need to know the acount type (POP3 or IMAP), the URL for the POP or IMAP server, the security type for the server, the URL for the outgoing email server (SMTP) and the security type for it. Don't panic over all this, most email providers have instructions on their site for setting up Apple Mail -- you just have to find it.
Once you have the information together, open Mail then on the menu bar at the top of the screen select Mail > Preferences > Accounts. Click on the plus sign at the bottom of the list of accounts and start by entering your new email address and password. Mail will then attempt to fill in the rest of the information it needs. If it is unable to do so, you will have to fill in the information yourself hopefully following the instructions provided by the email provider.

How can i create a new password?

I forgot my password, how can i create a new one?

On Lion or Mountain Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
Boot to your Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac ?

How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac?

You don't do this in Word. You do it in the OS X Finder.
All you need do in Word is open the file, then select Save As from Word's File menu. Change the destination to your new folder then click on the Save button.
The Finder method is much faster if you have a number of files you want to move. Just remember that to open those moved files in Word, you will have to change the directory from which you will open those files.

Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it. Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site. If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.
