What files can go on IPod when used as External Disk?

I have done appropriate research, and I know how to use IPod 60GB Video to store and download data files, but I am unable to find out what file types it will accept. Are there any exceptions?
I ask this because I just learned that "Notes" will only accept .txt files and not Microsoft Word document file types.
For example, can I drag PDF files into it? Would I even be able to see them on display?
Thanks!!!!

The reason notes only accept txt files is because they can be read on the ipod, and you can save a .txt file out of microsoft word by the way. When you use the ipod as external Disk, that's exactly what that is, an external disk, and you cannot see those files on the ipod. All you can do with external disk is store files (any kind) and move them to another computer.

I can't move tv show to ipod when used as external drive

I have been putting itunes purchased tv shows on my 60g ipod as a hard drive untill it stopped working. I drag the show to the ipod icon on the desktop and the plus sign appears then nothing happens. I have 28g free and it's worked fine untill now. I'm just doing this temporarily untill i get a new hard drive for my computer. I only have 13g now. So if I want to buy anything else I have to free up the space and I know that if I just put it on my ipod as a watchable video I can't move it back.

Does this video play in iTunes? How is your iPod configured to sync videos from under its Movies configuration tab in iTunes?
See this article for more information on syncing videos.

Get message saying one or more files can not be found when using plug in Perfect effects 8.5 in Lightroom 5

Cant open Perfect Effects in lightroom 5

Update: I have just installed version 8.1.1. and exported my library and the issue seems to be fixed. I don't believe that export libary had any impact so it mostlikely is version 8.1.1. who has fixed the isssue. I will keep an eye on it and get you posted on how it goes.
Thanks Cees

You can't put a PDF into the photo gallery. The Photos app can only hold pictures and video. You could take a screen shot of whatever is on the screen of the device by tapping the Home and power buttons at the same time. That screen shot would be stored in your Camera Roll in the Photos app.

Can I use a SD Card rather than a USB stick when using Lion Recovery Disk Assistant

I'm using a MB Pro 2010, can I use a SD Card in the SD Card slot rather than a USB stick when using Lion Recovery Disk Assistant. I would like to use the 16GB chip with a single 1GB partition so I can dump a bunch of other backup stuff into the same chipper.

Yes, you could certainly do that, provided you have a card reader or an SD card slot available on both Macs and what you are copying is smaller than the capacity of your SD card.
But that's an awfully slow way to transfer GB's of files. 32GB SD cards cost anywhere from about $20 to $90 and of course the cheaper cards will be the slowest cards. Also need to consider that your iPhoto, iTunes and especially iMovie libraries may be larger than your SD card's capacity, and there is no easy way to 'split' them to save partial libraries and reassemble them on your new Mac.
A better solution is an external hard drive connected via FW or USB2. Much faster and without the capacity limit of an SD card. For example, you could get a 500GB OWC Mercury Elite Pro mini drive (5400 rpm) for $115 and after you are done using it for file transfer it would be a nice backup drive. Or build your own with an OWC mini case and a 500GB WD Scorpio 7200 rpm drive for about $120. Both support eSATA, FW400/800 and USB2.
Or you could just network the two Macs together and use the Finder to transfer files that way. Cheap, fast, and it works.

What files can be safely deleted?

I love my 400 MHz TiBook but its 10 GB hard drive is filling up. I have approx. 1.5 GB of free space left. What files that can be safely deleted? Can I delete extraneous printer files, modem files, packages, etc? I use MacJanitor to clean out caches and I don't have any music or photo files that might be causing the bloat. Also, before I delete anything I will back my hard drive up to a FW drive with SuperDuper.

Hi, Fred. You're wise to be thinking about how little free space you have left now, before the operation of your Powerbook is seriously impaired. But rather than just nibble away at the contents of your drive, which will only buy you a small amount of time before you're back where you started, you should be thinking about replacing your tiny 10GB hard drive with a larger one. You could easily get a 60GB drive for $50 plus the cost of shipping, and installing a drive in a Tibook is very simple — a 20-minute job at the outside. Then you'd just start up from the external FireWire drive on which you've cloned your 10GB drive, and use SuperDuper to clone its contents onto the new drive. The whole drive swap and data transfer, including the original cloning, could probably be accomplished in less than two hours. Then you wouldn't have to worry about hard drive space for a long time to come.

WHAT files can I dump?

Once I have created an iDVD project and saved it as a disc utility, what files can I dump? Can I trash the original iDVD file? Can I trash the Quicktime movie that I used to create the iDVD file from Final Cut Pro? Can I throw away everything but the disc utility?

Once you have a copy of the DVD on your hard drive as a disk image, if you never need to re-edit the project you can throw out EVERYTHING if you like as you can create as many copies from the disk image as needed. The disk image is a completely stand alone copy.

Can I use my Ipod nano like a external disk. like a flas unit?

I´m gonna buy an Ipod, and I don´t know if I can use the Ipod nano like an external disk in my computer to storage files and download them in other computer. If nano doesn´t do that, the Ipod does or either.
Thanks

Can't send mail when using mobile broadband

Hi
I am getting quite frustrated as I can't send mail when using my mobile broadband modem! I can receive mail, and surf the internet etc, but mail just wont send!(i get the usual cannot send try later/resend options). I thought this might be an issue with my mobile broadband but have recently reinstalled it. When at home on a wireless network I have no such issues.
Any help appreciated

Even though your e-mail service uses the same URL for POP3 and SMTP servers, in the software sense you actually do have separate POP3 and SMTP servers, although they may be hosted on the same machine, or the requests are routed via some "smoke and mirrors" to the right host.
It is not related to my ISP at home, which is Virgin media. My mobile broadband provider is 3. I was thinking it might be that I need to change the port settings in mail when using my mobile modem, but don't know what to change them too(or how to do it!) or configure the modem differently but again not sure what to do there!
Check with the freeparking online help to see if it supports port 587 or some such.
Also try Mail's "Connection Doctor" (under the Window menu) when you're away from home to see if that shows anything useful.
Since you can send e-mail from that SMTP server when you're at home but not when you're using your mobile broadband, I think one of two possibilities is likely: (a) Your mobile broadband provider is blocking your attempts to access the freeparking SMTP server and/or port. (b) The freeparking SMPT server for some reason doesn't like being communicated with via your mobile broadband provider. I'd check with each of them to explore these options.
Does your mobile broadband provider have an SMTP server that you can use instead of the freeparking one?
My modem(Huawei E220) is not particularly Mac friendly as it is, and I believe Mail can be quite sensitive when servers don't respond immediately?
Yes. Mail seems to have a fixed time-out value for server responses.

Any Ideas?

Hi,

What files can delete from my imac in order to back up my ipad to my computer.

If it is a matter of storage space, any files you no longer need or can move off to an external drive. If that isn't what you mean, you might want to post some additional details.

TS1372 does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reported during the restore mode?

does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reportedduring the restore cycle?

Double check the connections on each end to make sure they are nice and snug. If possible, plug the Nano into another existing USB 2.0 port.
Also, with the iPod still connected, try resetting it. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Then try restoring the iPod again.

Also delete your cookies and other web data, as it can build up and you don't really need that stuff.
Try going to to Go in the finder menu, Go to Folder, Type in ~/Library/ click Go and look around and see what you don't need and highlight and delete the junk.
