  • Do i need a powered usb hub to connect my external hard drive and printer to my airport extreeme

    I tried a usb hub from Belkin that is not powered. Is this why I cannot get my hard drive to work on my Airport Extreme?

    I am assuming that you are using the newer "square" version of the AirPort Extreme, not the older "round" version.
    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is under powered. I have had to use a powered USB hub with any type of hard drive that I've ever used on the Extreme, even if the drive had its own power supply.
    You might want to also check to make sure that the drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or MS-DOS FAT32. The normal Windows format of NTFS will not work at the AirPort Extreme.

  • On a 500G MBP running Lion what's the best size to partition a 2T WD external hard drive to for Time Machine? Thankse

    Just picked up a 2T WD external HD for my new MBPro with 500 G drive. Looking to use part of the external drive for Time MAchine. Not sur if I should designate 1T of it or 750G. I'm running Lion. What's the best way to format the external drive. Disk Utility?
    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Ask in Lion: TimeMachine / MacBook Pro even - this is workstation territory
    I would not use the same drive for data and for backups.
    If I had to, I'd make a partition large enough to boot your Mac from though, whether 50-500GB to clone your system. 
    You should still be able to use Lion's Recovery boot mode.
    I don't think there really is much choice in what to format with, unless you want to spend over $100.

  • What is the best way to  back up iTunes excluding external hard drive

    *iTunes gives you the option of backing up your library on CDs. It would take me 100s of CDs to back up my library. Is there any other way to back up excluding external hard drive? Can you put music on a DVD and fit more than on a CD? Having just had to reload my whole computer, I would like some advice. I put my iTunes libary on an external hard drive. When I wiped that hard drive clean, it also took out my iTunes on my C drive! I had to buy a program that would save the songs from my iPod and put them back in iTunes.*

    Since you posted in the Thunderbolt Display Community, I am guessing you are attempting to connect a MacBook Air to a Thunderbolt Display, but since you tagged projector, it makes me doubt my assumption. Can you provide some more details on what you are trying to connecto your MacBook Air to?

  • What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC?  Assume I'm a casual user.

    What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC?  Assume I'm a casual user.
    I am lead to believe by some real smart guys on the Apple site that If I have the Apple Store partition my iMAC and add the full suite of Office products on that partition, I can run the few Access programs I have and need to run.
    Comments encouraged.  Thank you in advance for your consideration and help.

    You would have to install Windows, then install Microsoft Office Professional for Windows on it  To install Windows you will have to choose between Boot Camp (faster, free) and a Virtual Machine (simpler, slower, easier to backup)
    You should try LibreOffice (free), it can open Access files, it may not have all Access's feature set though, worth a try.

  • What is the best way to backup a 1 Terabyte external USB drive?

    In order to keep my MacBook Air running speedily along and to free up space, I use this strategy to store my iTunes Library on an external USB drive.
    I'm trying to think of the best way to backup a 1 Terabyte external USB drive. I'm told the hardware has a product life of about five years and some say to burn DVD-R discs of it as a backup, but that would require many discs.
    Has anyone explored the viability of using FTP in conjunction with AWS (Amazon Web Services) to backup the iTunes Library to the cloud? Their file storage is quite cheap.
    Any thoughts on the most effective way to backup an external USB drive?
    Thanks!

    For a simple clone use Disk Utility's Restore option:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Others will suggest using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!.

  • What is the best way to set up Facetime if using multiple computers with one apple ID?

    I currently have FaceTime setup on my iPad 2 using my normal appleID, but have just recently upgraded our iMac from Leopard to Snow leopard, and have added FaceTime to that computer as well. So my question is this. If I want to avoid confusion with which device is called when someone calls us using FaceTime, what is the best way to distinguish the devices? Should I try to use a different email address to reach the iMac? Is there a best-known-method for this?

    That's a nice system Kevin, and it will work very nicely with Photoshop.  I do take it that you have 16Gb RAM in Total?
    250Gb SSD is a good size, but you can still run short, and that will affect Windows performance.  When you get your system, instal WinDirStat which gives you a graphic display of everything on your drive, like below. Clicking on any of the large areas will tell you what and where they are, so you can think about moving cache folders etc. to one of the HDDs.
    Leave the Pagefile.sys on the boot drive.  Think about disabling Hyphenate as it takes a ton of space, and too often crashes on wake up.
    My Documents
    Desktop
    Downloads
    Look at Bridge cache
    iTunes backup
    Other stuff like that.
    Think about another 500Gb drive just for Photoshop Scratch.  Drives are cheap as chips nowadays
    Do yourself a favour, and invest $100 in Shadow Protect (or similar if there is such a thing) SP saves incremental backups every 15 minutes (you can set the interval, but it has no impact on performance with a system like yours).  If you have a problem you can mount the back up at any of those 15 minute points, and open files from it.  You can also make a bootable DVD image of your C drive, and be back up and running five minutes after disaster strikes.

  • What is the best way to rip movies to an external HD?

    I am interested in ripping my DVD movies to an external HD so they are portable. This is in preparation for a military deployment to the middle east. I would like to take them all so I can enjoy them all while overseas. I am looking at a 1TB external HD. What is the best method to rip them? Do I need Software and and are there any special methods for performing the transfers?
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • What is the best way to backup Address Book to external HD?

    Hello there
    I would like to backup my Address Book on an external HD. How do I go about doing and what's the best way to doing it?
    I have a vague idea but not sure if it's the correct folder to drag to the external HD. I went to ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book. My question is this: Is that Address Book folder the correct one to drag to the external HD? Am I missing other important folders to drag along to the external HD in order for both the Address Book folders to be the same in my internal and external HD?
    Thanks in advance!!

    It would copy the information into a single file... The same as if you wanted to share your contacts with someone else-you could email the vCard to them, they would import it and have the all the same contact information imported into their address book.
    For your own use, it's pretty much the same and works through the File>Import>vCards option in AddressBook.

  • What is the best Dell PC configuration to run Master Collection CS4

    Hi
    What is the best Dell Computer/PC configuration to run Adobe Master Collection CS4 smoothly. Also please mentione about the experiences with Dell(if possible with, Dell Australia) I am using a Dell Dimension 8400 bought in 2005 (2.8GHz, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, 1 TB HDD Capacity)
    Ur help is much appreciated. Thx
    Pushpa

    Dell does not have any sensible 'best PC configuration', not even when you go for the best they offer, which is over $ 14 K and is still lacking. But you have a power cord free. However, if you opt for redundant power supply, you need to choose a second power cable. Strange they did not include that in the option for redundant PSU's.
    Dell is only good if they offer a system that meets your requirements fully. If you need anything else than their standard configuration, better go elsewhere or build it yourself. It is pretty easy to build a system for less than the price of a Dell that outperforms it by a wide margin, because their BIOS is crippled and they charge the most extravagant prices for everything not in their standard offer.
    If money is no object, try to configure a dual W5590 system with at least 24 GB ECC RAM and at least an Areca raid controller and 8 disks in raid3. But with Dell, if at all possible, the price will be around $ 20 K US or more.

  • EMac 800 512MB - What is the best level of OS to run ?

    I need to reload OS X on my emac, but before I go out and buy a set of CDs I though I would ask what is the best level of OS X to purchase (10.3, 10.4 etc.) that will run comfortably on my 800mhz 512MB emac ?
    Is there a feature comparison list anywhere ?
    Thanks.

    I just bought a full retail Tiger DVD package online here:
    http://store.fastmac.com/productinfo.php?productsid=100
    It was indeed a retail box with shrink wrap still intact.
    If your eMac does not have a DVD drive, the same source claims to have Tiger retail on CD:
    http://store.fastmac.com/productinfo.php?productsid=111
    Not cheap but the alternatives (some grey system disks) may cause trouble or not work at all.
