• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I backed up my entire harddrive on an external 500mb drive. The itunes library and iphoto library copied as a 'package'. I deleted some photos from the library in iphoto to make room on my laptop, but when I went back to the external drive to make sure the photos I had deleted were there, the 'package' sent me back to my current iphoto library (minus the deleted pictures). When I ctl click 'show package contents' I can see that the original photos have been backed up and are on the external drive. How can I access the files I deleted without going to the package contents? Is it possible? Is it better to save the files in a separate individual folder (as opposed to in the iphoto library file) if I want to remove them from my laptop hardrive? And (last question) is this the same for itunes? (I haven't checked yet).
Thanks, Megananne
