Apple :: Can't Transfer Files Onto A USB Harddrive

Jan 25, 2009

I have a 250Gb Maxtor Harddrive which is 2.5" and formatted as FAT32 (so I'm able to use it on my Mac and work PC), I have roughly 100Gb worth of research documents on there already which I constantly update every fortnight. Just recently I tried to copy some video files onto the harddrive but it doesn't seem to work?

A few problems, it wouldn't copy as the little box always said 'preparing to copy' but never did anything so I kept restarting my Macbook untill it finally would copy and now it has copied over but I don't see the files on the harddrive?

Is there anything I can do? I'm running 10.5.5

I just bought an apple Time Capsule and started using it last night, router and switch works great, but can I use that as an external harddrive, because I tried to transfer files from my laptop to time capsule but it always gives me errors saying that the device is disconnected and whatnot.

Apple :: Why Do Almost All Macs Now Have One Firewire Port

Dec 15, 2009

Especially in the circumstances of video editing and digitizing. What is the process that people would do now?

Would they put the camera in the firewire nd then capture via USB of the external hard drive and then put the firewire for the hard drive after capturing and on to editing?

Why is it that it seems only the Mac Pro is the only Mac that now has more than one fire wire port?

Apple :: Keyboard Shininess On Unibody Macs

Jan 17, 2009

Has anyone's unibody keyboard started showing signs of this yet?

You know, how on many Dells, HPs, Thinkpads with the black keyboards with shiny spots on the keys after prolonged use.

I'm worried that that will happen to me, and I am patiently waiting for a keyboard cover like the ones that were available for the old gen MBP.

Apple :: Are Macs Really Necessary For Creative Work Anymore

Jan 26, 2009

My friends that are into desktop publishing and graphic design are very pro Mac-centric when it comes to their work. They tell me that Macs are better than PCs (with Windows) when it comes to developing their work.

That may have been the case in the past, but Macs are not really necessary for that line of work anymore. Many applications are now more readily developed for Windows based PCs. On Windows, you get the whole Adobe Creative Suite, many audio manipulation programs superior to Garage Band (i.e. Ableton), and other neat applications. The only thing Macs have over Windows is the excellent Final Cut Pro, although Premiere is more than competent.

Many musicians have been noted to be avid Mac users. However, major pop music producers such as Timbaland and Lil' Jon now develop their music under a Windows-based platform.

Is the Mac necessary (or worth it) for doing this type of work other than the sheer chic and hip factor of Macs?

Apple :: How Do I Transfer My ITunes Library

Jul 7, 2009

I'm getting a new computer. My old one is at my parents house and has my entire iTunes library on it. I know I can't just plug my ipod into a new computer and upload the songs onto it, but I'm sure there's a way to transfer the library from my old computer to my new one.

How exactly can I do that? I assume it has something to do with an external hard drive, but I'm not sure.

From what I read in the manual I am supposed to put them in the Itunes music library, but it does not say in the manual how to transfer them to the library.

In Itunes, I click on "FIle" and then "add file to library", select the songs, but nothing happens.
