For this, I suggest an external Firewire drive I use every day: the Iomega eGo. So, backing up your data is extremely important.

Even though the Mac is a great computer it can occasionally have problems. Once you have those two items squared away, it is time for something else: a backup drive.

It is just one of those things you need when you use a portable Mac. I know, it isn't sexy but as someone who has used laptops for years, I can't tell you how many times I've been glad to have an extra power adapter around. Next, I would suggest an additional Apple MagSafe power adapter. It has a lot more room and offers superior protection for your Mac. If you need something a bit bigger, I'm a fan of the Brenthaven MetroLite BP Backpack. Plus, it is very lightweight but also offers good protection for the Mac. It has just enough room for the Mac, the essential extras like the power adapter, a mouse, a couple small notebooks, etc.

However, if you are so inclined, I suggest a full backup of your existing iTunes folder before you proceed. To accomplish this is a lot of work and time and really not something I would necessarily do, but it would work. You could simply copy those folders over to whatever external drive you wanted to keep them on and then point iTunes to them using aliases in the iTunes folder you moved them from. For example, movies are in the "Movies" folder, podcasts in the "Podcasts" folder, etc. Inside the iTunes library folder the application keeps certain type of media in different folders. However, if you wanted to have these different file types reside on different drives, you could follow the procedure I outlined above in the iPhoto question. You can specify where that folder resides, be it on your internal hard drive or an external one, but that's pretty much all the control you have, at least from within the application itself. That's the way it is and that's the only way iTunes can do it. So, that means you have music, video, podcasts, etc. Like iPhoto, iTunes likes to organize everything all in one place. Is there any way in iTunes to specify where I keep each media type on my computer? I'm running a late 2007 MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz, with the latest Snow Leopard. This is what I do with my iTunes library on my personal iMac to keep the over 100GB of music and video files from taking up valuable space on my internal drive. Then, when you launch iPhoto from now on it will use your library located on your external hard drive, thus freeing up that much space on the internal drive of your MacBook Pro. Then, you can delete the file from your MacBook Pro, remove the part of your alias file name that says "alias" and rename it to iPhoto Library. Then, make an alias of that folder and copy the alias back into the folder where the library resided on your MacBook Pro. The simplest way to have your iPhoto library reside on an external drive is to copy the entire iPhoto library folder, located in Users > Your User Name > Photos to the external drive.
However, as Time Machine is running pretty much all the time and accesses the external disk frequently, my suggestion would be to get an additional external hard drive to store your iPhoto library and use your first drive solely for Time Machine. That said, you can partition your external drive into two separate parts and use one of them for Time Machine and the other for storing data such as your iPhoto library. When you use a drive as a Time Machine backup, the drive should really be used just for that purpose only.

My disk space on the MBP is running low, and I would like to know how can i transfer the photos in my iPhoto library to my external hard disk or is there any way i can back up those photos to free up space? I have an external hard disk I use for Time Machine.
