Backing up and Saving Space
Can I take all the Apple Loops and Live Type samples and templates and burn them onto a DVD and use them off of that when working in Final Cut? That would save a lot of space on my Powerbook.
Thanks

You could do this, although if working with them in an actual project you are best copying to you hard drive. You can off course just copy the ones you need. The read speed from optical media is a bit too slow.
Alternatively install all of them on an external drive.

I have my catalog "Back Up Each Time Lightroom Exits" checked, and always have. That means the catalog should have been backed-up and saved everyday, if not more than once on some dates. So with a a major problem now and needing to use the Catalog backup from last Friday, I go to my Lightroom Backups folder - and the most recent one showing not only isn't yesterday, it's OCTOBER 28 !?? Where the hell are the daily backups between October 28 and November 14?
Oh wow - JET LAG strikes agin - my apologies; I have located the missing weeks of back-ups. After getting home from a 30-day trip to Europe, I had changed the location of my LR catalog back-ups to an external drive, and forgot that I did that. I have found them, and all is good.

IPhoto back up and avail space?
If I back up iPhoto to my external drive, can I delete photos from iPhoto on my main hard drive to free up space? Will my pics on the external drive be retrievable and how? If they try to re-load into iPhoto everytime it will defeat the purpose as I have more photos/videos than space. Basically I'm just low on iPhoto space and looking for solutions to easily access pics while freeing up space.
A back up is a copy. That is, the data exists in two places - at least. If the library is only on your external, and the external goes down, what do you do?
I have multiple back ups and two HDs permanently connected to my iMac.
I'm wondering if I should just back up iPhoto pics/videos to external drive and then delete all videos from my main iPhoto on the computer to free up room
Here's one way to do that
1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
A couple of comments:
a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.
c: Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager
But remember, now the material on the External is not a back up, and needs to be backed up

HI, I have 2 questions and if anyone have answers, that would be great.
1. Since 2 persons I know just had their hard disks crashed, I am trying to back up all of my FCP project. I've heard a lot of negative things about Media Manajor so that's out of the frame. According to other threads, the easiest way to back up projects are just drag and drop or copy to another hard disk. Currently I have 3 hard disks in my computer so I'm thinking that's the best and easiest way to go. However, the problem is I saved FCP projects on multiple hard disks. I have multipul Audio Render Files, Capture Scratch, Render Files, etc. Could I just sort them when I drag and drop? means could I move from one folder to another? If I can't (FCP won't be able to find where files are?) Are there other way to do this?
2. When I have original and back up on separate hard disks, how could I update the back ups? Do I only need to update Project File? Then the work I did on original such as adding background music won't be copied onto the back up hard disk right?
Sorry it's confusing but I'm confused...
Thanks for reading.

I strongly recommend you only back up what is necessary-- A) the project file and B) any non-tape-based media.
Tape-based media can be easily recaptured so you don't need to worry about that. The most important thing, above all else, is the project file. So save your project file to your iDisk, your USB drive, email yourself a copy (after zipping it).
Currently I have 3 hard dicks in my computer

I lost power to my MacBook Pro before I had saved anything that I was working on...usually I plug my computer it and power it back on and the documents pop right back up when the computer turns on. That did not happen this time. How can I recover my documents?
If you never saved, auto save does not kick in.

How do you change the drive that my Iphone backs-up to on my computer? My first attempt to back-up and i received a pop-up stating that I do not have sufficient memory/space, knowing that I have over 120GB of free space...any ideas? thanks

iTunes stores your iPhone backups in the Library folder in your Home folder.
iTunes places the backup files in these places:

I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, my HP laptop had major issues and had to be restored b4 I could back up and save any content on the hard disc. So i havent backed up my iPad2 or saved my iTunes library.
How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.???
I need really simple instructions as I've had a bad run with my laptop the last month.
I have re-installed iTunes,it currently has no content in it
all my music, photos etc had been saved to a an external Hardrive (phew)so I'm not concerned about losing them during a sync, but how do I sync my Ipad without losing the applications... The last back up saved was in June when I still had an ipad1
I tried to back it up last night but kept getting the prompts something to the effect of "iPad can only be synced to 1 iTunes library, syncing will erase all content and replace with content on this iTunes library".
Help please,, I've already lost endless hours fixing my PC issues,so I'm not game to attempt this issue without guarantee I won't lose everything,need a simple solution that anyone can follow as my brain has information overload!!! Lol
ThanksThis should help you out. I copied this from another discussion a while back. Here is the original discussion link.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
This is what is in the discussion. It really doesn't get any easier than this.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources. -
I'm tryin to get my iPhone 4s unlocked and I was told to do a back up and restore - well, over and over it says I don't have enough space for restore and I've already deleted a lot
Morning Bodance,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
There could be several reasons why this could occur.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

Can't see iPhoto pics that are edited in PS and saved back to iPhoto
Photos that are edited in Photoshop and saved back into iPhoto don't show up in the iPhoto window. Only the originals show up. When I do a search, I see that they are saved in a "modified" folder inside iPhoto. How can I see them in the iPhoto window? I would like to "trash" some of them. Can I just drag them to the trash from the "modified" folder or will that foul up the iPhoto database?
RickMaybe this will help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full sizes
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

I upgraded to ios6.1.3 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved. Can I some how restore the apps to avoid having to pay for them again and having to recreate settings?
As I said, the backup that iTunes makes does not include apps (and music) if those items where not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you restored they will not be on the iPod.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
i have around 2000 photos on my camera roll as back up and now i am not able to delete unwanted photos and they are not even getting synced wid d computer so what should i do now?? they are using 9 gb of the space!!!
Chris CA wrote:
You cannot backup photos to iCloud.
You can enable Photo Stream (in Settings > iCloud) but only for 30 days and only a max of 1000 photos.
Then what does this mean? It was copied from the kb article that I posted above.
Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
Tap iCloud.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
In the Backups section, tap your device.
In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage. -
Loading and Saving problem in 2D space based rpg
I am implementing a system in which the game saves the offset of the default position of an object in space and the object's position when the game is saved and applying that to the objects when the game is loaded. I get a strange problem however where every other undock after loading the game is far far away in space. I think it has something to do with the saved position of the object you docked with. Here is the code involved in loading the game (it just calls IO.java via dataAgent and gets data from a file)
public void loadGame() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
//load the game
String[] tmpData = null;
tmpData = dataAgent.loadGame();
//interpet the data
hud.currentDockedCelestialObject = Integer.parseInt(tmpData[0]) - 1;
player.currentWallet = Integer.parseInt(tmpData[1]) - 1;
player.currentSolarSystem = space[hud.currentDockedCelestialObject].solar;
hud.renderMode = 1;
hud.player = player;
hud.space = space;
hud.dPressed = true; //tell HUD we are docked at something
//now we need to determine the position of all the celestial objects based on the saved position of the object in question
int tmpx = Integer.parseInt(tmpData[2]) - 1;
int tmpy = Integer.parseInt(tmpData[3]) - 1;
//compare it to the docked celestial
int changex = space[hud.currentDockedCelestialObject].positionX - tmpx;
int changey = space[hud.currentDockedCelestialObject].positionY - tmpy;
//apply the offset to all the objects in the current solar system
for (int i = 0; i < space.length; i++) {
if (space.solar.matches(player.currentSolarSystem)) {
space[i].positionX += changex;
space[i].positionY += changey;
//now we need to load the ship type
player.ship.type = Integer.parseInt(tmpData[4]);
//configure the shields and hulls
configureLoadedShip();
//finish up
hud.space = space;
hud.player = player;
Configureloadedship() just makes a call to apply the correct weapons and armor to the ship you have. Here is the saving code:public void saveGame() {
//saves the game
String[] toSave = new String[5];
toSave[0] = "" + (hud.currentDockedCelestialObject + 1);
toSave[1] = "" + (hud.player.currentWallet + 1);
toSave[2] = "" + (space[hud.currentDockedCelestialObject].positionX);
toSave[3] = "" + (space[hud.currentDockedCelestialObject].positionY);
toSave[4] = "" + (hud.player.ship.type);
try {
dataAgent.saveGame(toSave);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
Adding and subtracting 1 durring load and save solved the problem of the java file reader skipping the 0 values in the first few lines of the saved game file.
The game is loaded when the game starts and saved when you dock.
Ty in advance for your help.public String[] loadGame() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException /*should never be thrown*/ {
String[] toReturn = null;
//load the data
FileReader read = new FileReader(data);
BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(read);
String tmp1 = "";
String tmp2 = "";
while((tmp1 = buff.readLine())!=null) {
tmp2 = tmp2 + tmp1+"~";
//break it into a usable form
toReturn = tmp2.split("~");
System.out.println(tmp2);
return toReturn;
}and
public void saveGame(String[] toSave) throws IOException {
FileWriter write = new FileWriter(data);
BufferedWriter buff = new BufferedWriter(write);
//clear the old file
data.delete();
data.createNewFile();
//zap the data to the file
for(int i = 0; i < toSave.length; i++) {
buff.write(toSave);
buff.newLine();
//write
buff.flush();
}They are basically just buffered readers and writers. -
