    Home Sharing is option A.

    Option B is consolidating the library to an external HD.

    Or you can use one of the other 8000 methods. I just prefer these two.

  • What is the best way to manage my iPhoto, which is taking up too much space on my MacBook Pro?

    What is the best way to manage my iPhoto, which is taking up too much space on my MacBook Pro?
    Specifically, I'd like to keep some of my favorite pictures on the laptop while moving the rest to an external hard drive. Is there a way to tag just a few pictures inside an event/album as "favorite", while storing the rest in an EHD, but still keep them connected to the same event/album? I'd like to have just the favorite pictures on the laptop, but when I have the EHD connected,  be able to view all my pictures in the same place, and not have to browse through separate hard drives. Ideally, whether or not a picture is designated as "favorite" will determine where it resides.
    Is this at all possible?
    I have only 7 GB left on my HD and I'm desperately needing a solution!
    Thanks!

    You need two libraries to do this. One on the external with all your Photos. One on the internal with a subset - your favourites. You do it this way to make backing up easier - that is, back up the library with everything, so you're only backing up one.
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events/albums/photos you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • What is the best way to import my iTunes music to my new iMac from XP PC.

    HI
    I am setting up my new iMac running Mavericks. What is the best way to import my iTUnes music from my XP PC? I have an external drive I could use.
    Chris

    Hi
    Thanks for that. But do I have to us the external disc, moving it from PC to Mac or is there a better way?. Can you directly connect the systems. I assume wifi is too slow as the size is about 10G

  • What is the best way to transfer my music library from my windows pc to my new macbook air?

    what is the best way to transfer my large iTunes library from my windows pc to my new macbook air?  Not all purchased, many from CDs I owned

    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • What's the best way to transfer my iTunes music from windows to mac?

    I ordered my first Macbook which will get here on Monday, August 13, 2012. This is my first Macbook so I need a little help transferring my music over to my new laptop from my current Windows laptop. Is my best option just using home sharing? I did a Google search which turned up home sharing but I wanted to come on here to see if it is in fact my best route. I'd like to transfer all my music (2500 songs) with the album artwork and info I've entered. I'm a little picky about my music so I'd like everything to transfer over. Thanks in advance.

    Reading that article I have just one concern. In the notes section it says,
    "This process will create a new user account on your Mac to contain the Windows PC information that is migrated over.  It will not merge the information with an existing user account on your Mac."
    I don't want to have two accounts that I have to switch back and forth between.
    You don't have to switch between accounts. Just use the new account.
    If you start up and then add a new, 2nd account with the imported info, you can just use this new account. Either keep the first account as an admin user or delete it.
    If I do this the first time I start the computer will I be able to have just one account?
    Yes.
    I have two accounts.
    One only for admin stuff and another for my regualr, day-to-day use.

  • What's the quickest way to slice up this image...

    I found this image and would like to slice it up into separate images. What's the quickest way to do this without having to manally select each one or manually draw slice lines?
    My idea was to get them all surrounded by a marquee or path, and then somehow export that marquee or path area into a file.
    The first part of creating the marquee and path was easy...
    I first surround the entire image with a black border so that it intersects the horizontal black divider lines
    I then used the magic want tool to select the black border which also selected the black divider lines
    I next inverted the selection... so now all the sections are selected perfectly
    Finally I right-clicked on the selection and picked "Make Work Path"
    But now how do I export all the work path sections into individual files?
    I would appreciate any help or advice... thanks.
    -Pete

    I was able to do it with a selection I saved named selection for a single frame. Then recording an action that I played moved the selection and played again repeated this till all frames were created. I then deleted the background layer aligned all layer to the top and created a frame animation.
    The script export layer to files will create files for each frame.

  • What is the quickest way to access the Settings on an iPad?

    What is the quickest way to access the Settings on an iPad? (I mean, the usual cogwheel "app" called Settings)
    In particular, I'm looking for a quicker way (or a more convenient one) to access it from an open application, than hitting the "home" button, possibly swiping the home pages, and tapping on it.
    (I know, I know, I already placed it in the bottom bar, so I have it available from all pages...)
    It would be great if I could cut another step or two. I mean, there are situations where I need to use the Settings app repeatedly. I wonder why it was not included in the iOS 7 swipe-from-bottom menu, while the "Camera" or "Countdown Timer / Clock" made the cut.
    I know everybody will have a different opinion on what should be included in that menu, and choices have to be made, but still...
    for example, on my Android smartphone the newer OS updates placed a shortcut to the settings app in the upper-right corner of the swipe-down menu, which is like the most prominent place you could place it in.
    Anyway, do you know of one or more alternative ways to access the Settings app?
    (Oh, and yeah, it just occurred to me that I can four-finger swipe it, if I have accessed it recently, but again if I access another app or two in between it will become at least as cumbersome as going through the home page).

    Anyway, do you know of one or more alternative ways to access the Settings app?
    Short answer, no. If you have a suggestion for future iOS functionality, use the feedback functionality found elsewhere on this site.

  • What's the quickest way to open Access Connections?

    What's the quickest way to open Access Connections, apart from its Taskbar level meter?
    I prefer to use the Power Manager battery meter instead, as it looks pretty ugly when both are used, and they take up too much space.
    Fn+F5 no longer gives any access to Access Connections either.  And it is not integrated into the standard Windows network system tray icon's right-click menu, like Power Manager is with the standard power system tray icon.
    You cannot even type Access Connections in the Start Menu search box, as the shortcut is called something else, which I can never remember.
    Ideally, I would at least like to be able to access it though the Fn+F5 box again (I'm pretty sure it was possible in versions).

    This add-on is similar to the Google Chrome translation bar.

  • What is the quickest way to incorporate a new template's styles into an existing template?

    Recently my company have developed a new template. I am creating a document using much content which already exists in an older template with different paragraph styles, table formats and page formats. What is the quickest way to incorporate the new styles so I don't have to individually update the table contents. The paragraph catelog and tables have different titles in the two documents.
    Thanks,
    Niall.

  • I have a 4 month long text message thread conversation. What's the quickest way to get to the very beginning of the conversation?

    I have a 4 month long text message thread conversation. What's the quickest way to get to the very beginning of the conversation?

    The startup.exe file is locate in the \NI-RT\STARTUP directory. 'cd NI-RT' then 'cd STARTUP' should get you to the right place after making the connection with ftp. I don't recognize PH_EXEC.EXE. Logging in as anonymous is fine. I don't recall seeing documentation on the file structure and locations on the module but I'm sure there is some. I just wandered around w/ftp.
    The program to update the node should be below. Enter the IP address, the green light will confirm the node is found.
    The version function scans the existing startup.exe for a string beginning and ending with " RU Version " and prints everything in between as the version.
    The autostart function will copy the existing ni-rt.ini file to your computer, mod
    ify the autostart as requested, then put the file back. Leaves the copy on the PC, which can be handy.
    Send file will request a file of the format startup*.dat which will be renamed startup.exe and ftp'd to the module. Lets you keep version numbers in the filename on the PC side. Your directory structure probably won't match mine so you'll have to browse for your file.
    Reboot module reboots the module.
    Hope this is useful, let me know if anything doesn't make sense. Thanks.
