How can I change the location of my movie folder

Hello,  I just consolidated two mac computers into one mac mini.  Now both my wife and I want to share the same actual computer (new mac mini) and share media folders so we are not duplicating photo imports and movies.  I figured out how to map the iTunes library and the iPhoto library to a shared folder, but cannot get how to map the 'movie' folder to a single folder for both accounts.  This would be needed so we can share and work on the same iMovie projects between the two accounts.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

You might get better answers by asking this in the iMovie Discussion group

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.

  • How can I change the name of my home folder?

    Just got a new job. Yeah! Taken over former employees' iMac. I made myself Administrator, seem to be the only log in option. But, my home folder is still in the old guys name. How can I change the name on the Home folder without deleting it and loose all the files? CAN'T loose the files?  Help...
    Thanks

    Changing the existing home folder name is complicated. I recommend you NOT do that.
    Instead, create a new User with exactly the home folder name you want, and copy your files over to that new user. Once a few days have gone by trouble-free, and you are certain you have no issues, you can delete the old home folder.
    While on the subject of users, Some users prefer the peace-of-mind of using an "ordinary" user account, rather than an Admin account for daily use. This makes it much harder for anything to "sneak" onto your Mac, as you need to authenticate anything to be installed in system directories.
    To do this, create a new Admin user, log into it, and demote your daily-use account to a non-Admin user. When actively installing stuff, the Admin username and password will be requested.

  • How can i change the background colour of all folder windows at once

    how can i change the background colour of all old folder windows at once?

    There are, however, thousands of calendar apps available in the App Store. They use the same data that the built in app does. Perhaps one would better meet your needs.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I change the location where iTunes saves iOS 5.1, new data, synchronized apps and other data?

    My hard drive C is full. I changed the location of the mediathek to an external hard drive F and moved all media data there. Also, I synchronized my iPad with this new set-up. So far, everything worked out well.
    Now, why is iTunes stll saving data, like the much needed iOS 5.1, to C? This actually makes it impossible for me to finally update my iPad, because my C drive is simply full!
    Also, iTunes does not synchronize my iPad apps or my photos. When I try to synchronize them manually, iTunes starts to save data to my C drive. How can I change that to my external drive F?
    In a nutshell, how can I move iTunes once and for all to my external hard drive F (or at least, to a different hard drive on my computer)? There is simply no space on my C drive for it at all.
    Thankyou so much for an answer, I am literally going nuts right now!

    I found the app that I'm looking for it's called sensor kinetics pro and the link is

  • How can i change the location of my siri?

    i live in Australia and when i ask siri about locations, businesses in Australia it tells me it cant look for these things in Australia.
    how can i change it so that it will look in australia and be able to answer all my questions?

    It depends on which version of Windows you are using but it will intitally be downloaded to the C: drive.  The data is initially stored in the following locations:
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
    Windows 7 and Vista:  C:\Users\[login]\AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
    You will need to get enough free space on the C: drive to allow the download.

  • How can I change the location of my Backups? (e.g. Word files)

    I am wondering how I can change the location of my word doc. back ups. Everytime I make a new word document my computer makes a duplicate titled: " Backup [then the title I gave the word document]." I was wondering if I could make a single file to store all of the back ups. Currently they are in every file that the original is in. Thanks!

  • How can I change the location of files? (buffers, history)

    I want to change the location of my history and buffers from my SSD to a flashdisk. [Reason: to overcome wear and rear on my SSD.] How can I do this?
    Open question: What other file locations (paths) should I change?

    You can disable the disk cache by using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the Cache.<br />
    You can verify that on the about:cache page (disk cache entry is missing).
    The history and the bookmarks are stored in the same file and can't be separated.<br />
    You would have to move the entire Firefox profile folder to that other drive or use Private Browsing mode.<br />
    It is probably a good idea to make regularly backups of valuable profile data in case of drive failure.<br />
    Flash drives also do not last forever and are also usually slower.

  • How can I change the location on my ipad

    I wanted to look at the distance from my house to my friend's and when I checked, it didn't show the location of my house, it showed another random house. How can I change my current location?

    Which iPad do you have? Your location may not be entirely accurate if you have a WiFi only iPad as there is no GPS chip. It relies on a database of WiFi hotspots in Apple's database.
    If you want to find the distance, enter your address as the starting point and your friend as the end point. you don't have to use your current location at all.

  • How can I change the location where itunes stores my backup?

    I don't know how to change the location were itunes stores my backup and my transfer purchases. I don't have enough memory on the hard driver where the windows is installed.Please help me!!!

    Transferred purchases usually get stored in the iTunes Media folder although if your library started life back on iTunes 8 or earlier then apps could be stored within the main iTunes library folder. This post gives an overview of how to restructure your library on a different drive. I can give specific instructions if you tell me more about your current setup.
    To change where iTunes stores iOS device backups redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool). In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

  • How can I change the location of the iPAD backup

    It is possible to change the location on the harddisk where iTunes is backuping the iPAD?
    Thanks

    are you looking to move the bloated Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup file?  i had this same problem (my iTunes points to an external drive, but the default Backup Profile is still stored locally, and with a 64GB iPhone, it's killing my hard drive.  here's what i found!
    there are several posts about this, none are apple sanctioned it appears, all work arounds.  read these:

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2617941
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16438310
    the last one has the most simple directions i think.  here's the direct link to his blog post (i can't take credit!)

    basically you will "Create a symbolic directory link using the mklink command".  no software to install, just a little dos editing.
    best of luck!

  • HOW CAN WE CHANGE THE LOCATION OF TEMPORARY FILES DURING BROWSING?

    IN ORDER TO WATCH VIDEOS A LARGE AMOUNT OF MEMORY IS REQUIRED. BUT THE DRIVE IN WHICH FIREFOX IS INSTALLED HAS MORE NUMBER OF PROGRAM FILES. IS THERE ANY WAY TO CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE TEMPORARY FILES THAT GET ACCUMULATED DURING BROWSING?

    You probably need to change the value of the %temp% and %tmp% environment variables in:
    Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables
    You can set the location of the Firefox cache by setting a pref to that location.<br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • ITunes 11 - how can I change the genre of a movie now?

    So I've had iTunes 11 for about 3 hours now and so far it *****.  One of my main problems is I can't find how I can change the genre of a movie anymore.  I used to do this from Get Info so I could organise all my movies in to my own genres that make sense to me which helps me find what I want to watch when using Apple TV.
    It will still let me do that for movies I bought before I "upgraded" to 11 but for the movies I bought this evening, after upgrading, the genre drop down is locked down.
    Am I just looking in the wrong place?  Or have Apple somehow got the idea that pointlessly preventing your customers from organising their content in their own way is somehow an improvement and I'm stuck with their nonsensical genre classifications?
    Same thing goes for movie titles now I think of it - I've edited movie titles after purchase (e.g. I've put HP1 in front of the title of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and HP2 in front of Chamber of Secrets) so that series list in watching order, rather than alphabetical order, on my Apple TV.  It's not letting me do that from Get Info either
    Please someone tell me I'm just doing it wrong - I don't think I've the patience to jump through the hoops necessary to get 10.7 back!

    I had the same bug in songs. It was directly related to tracks purchased in the iTunes store, they wouldn't allow any changes, it was all grayed out.
    Here's how I got around it. When I selected more than one item and any other item was not from the iTunes store it would allow me to Get Info and change everything with no problems.
    My suggestion is that if you need to, add in a movie from your hard drive (anything at all, it will be a dummy placeholder) that you can you use to select along with the one you need to change. Use command click to select non-contiguous files (even works in different genres), then get info (or command i) and then change your info. You can keep using the same dummy file for as long as you need to to fix the files with incorrect info, then delete it when done.
