How to Make a Screensaver for a Mac (5 Steps)


Open your finder by clicking on your hard drive icon. Click on 'Pictures,' open 'file' and click on 'New Folder.' 'Untitled folder' will appear under Pictures. Click on the folder and name it 'My Screen Saver.'
Drag as many photos and pictures that you would like to include in your screen saver to your new folder. If you would like the screen saver to play in a particular order, then arrange the photos from top to bottom in the folder according to the desired order (top photo is first); otherwise, the order does not matter.
Click on the Apple icon on the top left side of your screen. Click on 'System Preferences.' Click on 'Desktop and Screen savers.' Click on 'Screen Saver.' There will be a list of different folders under 'Screen Savers.' If your folder 'My Screen Saver' is not on the list, then click on the + button, and add that folder by clicking on 'Pictures' and then 'My Screen Saver.'
Click on 'My Screen Saver.' Your pictures should begin to show in the preview window. Below the preview window is a list of options you can use to customize your screen saver.
Adjust the 'Start screen saver' option by dragging the arrow to the appropriate length of inactivity needed for the screen saver to begin to play. Click on the 'Display Style' bar to select how you would like the pictures to be played (one after another, spinning in one after another, or beginning from one corner and showing the whole set). You can further customize your screen saver by selecting 'Options' and choosing 'random order,' 'cross-fade between slides,' 'zoom back and forth,' 'crop slides to fill screen' or 'keep sides centered.' Set your options and quit System Preferences.

How to Set Up a Server for a Mac


Install the hard drives in the server Mac. Mac Pros have four hard drive bays, so you can set up a variety of combinations. To use it as both a data server and a backup server, install two independent hard drives and two RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) hard drives. The separate hard drives will be used for central data storage--things like photo collections--while the RAID drives will back up the system.
Install the RAID card into the Mac Pro. This will allow two of the hard drives to mirror each other, thus creating redundancy in data backup. Everything stored on one of the hard drives also will be stored on the other, so if one fails or develops a fault, the other will keep your data safe.
Set up the network. Macs usually have Airport Extreme (just Airport on older Macs) cards in them already. Mac Pros offer it as an option during purchase, but you can add one later, too. You will need a wireless router. Apple's Airport works best, but you can use less expensive models, such as those made by Belkin. Some routers don't work as well with Macs, such as Linksys and Netgear. If you have one of these already, try it, but if you don't, go with an Airport or Belkin.
Install Mac OS X Server software on the Mac Pro. Once installed, you can set up user groups, determine access and create the server itself using the two independent hard drives. You can add new Macs as you acquire them and give them access to the central data in the server.
Use Time Machine as your backup software for the server. Time Machine started shipping with Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard, and continues to ship with Mac OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard. It's a very basic backup program that will activate when you tell it to and only back up what's new on the system. You can set it up for different times on each Mac, so they don't conflict.

How Do You Eject Your iPod From a Mac? (3 Steps)


Locate the iPod icon in the left-hand column of the iTunes window on your computer screen. To the right of the icon, you'll see a small circle with a triangle inside. This is the eject button. After all of music, video or photo files have finished transferring, click this button. An alternative is to look on your computer desktop for an iPod icon. Drag the icon over your recycle bin or trash can to eject the iPod.
Check the computer display and the screen of your iPod after you have clicked the eject button. After a few seconds, the iPod icon will disappear from iTunes' left-hand column, and your iPod will display 'OK to disconnect.'
Pull out the USB end of the white cable to disconnect from the computer. Squeeze both sides of the white cable's base before pulling it out of the iPod.

How to Use a USB Camera Instead of iSight (3 Steps)


Connect the USB cable attached to the external webcam to an available USB port on the computer. Allow 10-15 seconds for the computer to recognize the external webcam.

How to Password Protect Apps On An iPad (5 Steps)

How to Hide a Photo in an IPad


Determine your needs for hiding photos on the iPad. For example, do you want to just hide one or a few pictures or do you want an app that also lets you store files privately, such as journal entries you don't want others to see.
Tap your iPad's 'App Store' icon to launch the store interface.
Tap inside the search box and enter the key terms 'Private photo,' 'Private pictures,' 'Lock files,' 'Hide photos,' or similar terms. Any of these key phrases brings up a selection of apps to meet your needs.
Read the app descriptions for the apps resulting from your search. Pay attention to the size (cache) limitations to make sure the app can store enough data to include all your private photos. Also check whether the app encrypts your images. This is important if you're worried about sensitive images being seen if you lose your iPad. If you just want to keep a couple of unflattering photos out of the gallery, however, this is less important. An app that easily imports images from your existing photo gallery is best. Read the user reviews to find out how easy the app is to learn and use.
Download the app you determine best meets your needs for hiding your private images and wait for the iPad to finish installing it.
Launch the app, and then read any introductory or help files to determine how to get your photos into and out of the app.
Practice locking and unlocking the app a few times before you move any data into it. Once you're familiar with how it works, import the photos you want to hide. This usually involves tapping an 'Import' or 'fetch' button and browsing to the photos you want to import. Some apps may allow you to use the 'Action' button in e photo galley (the same button used to email photos) to send your pictures directly into the private app. Placing them within this app will hide them on your iPad, storing them where only you or someone to whom you give the passcode can view them.
