How do I save project and update changes in MAC and extternal drive

I make music on my IMAC> I have an extrenal hard drive for extra storage and backup.
Say I make Song A and save it onto my docs in the Mac.....how do I create a backup of that project to be placed in the exteranl drive, and in future sessions, I will make changes made to SONG A, and be able to update the backup copy with the changes to the song?
Similarly, I want to have all my pictures in the MAC and backup of all pictures in the drive. But when I bring ine new pcitures I want to be able to store new pics in both MAC and external drive in one snap
thaanks
thanks

One solution is to wait until next year for Leopard. The Time Machine features seems to do what you want.
I doubt you can set up a RAID-1 volume with an external drive, nor would you really want to given the slower interface to the external drive.
That only really leaves backup software. I'm sure there are lots of free or inexpensive backup/synchronization tools. I use RsyncX, but it's not the most intuitive tool for the uninitiated.

How to connect Template project and Implementation project

Hi Experts,
     I would like to know how to connect Template project and Implementation project
    in Solution maneger.   Please help.
Best regards,
   Gaito

Hey Gaito,
great. Now that you have a template project, you need to create one or more templates within the project template.
Go to tab Templates (of your Templ Proj) and activate 'Global Rollout Functionnality' to be able to use the templates.
Create a new template thanks to button create. Visibility will be set to red 'private'. You ll have to set it to visible so it becomes visible from your implementation project.
You ll see when trying to do that next message 'No scenarios/configuration structures assigned to the template XXXX'. That means that in SOLAR01 you did not define a scenario that ll be used in template you re trying to create
In order to do that go to SOLAR01 for template project, select/create scenarios in tab structure and set in column template value of your template (the one you re creating in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN) and in Global Attribute set value t Global
You l definitely find more info on this in sap document SMI310 (course). I don t know if you can find it on internet
Hope this helps

Khalil

How do i save my photos from iPhoto to a back up drive?

how do i save my photos from iPhoto to a back up drive?

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
If you only want to back the Photos"
File -> Export
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

How do I save albums, events in tact from iPhoto to external drive to comply with iCloud limits? Thx

How do I save albums, events in tact from iPhoto to external drive to comply with iClouds limits? (iMac Lion, need to remove 280gb of photos>

Not sure if I understand correctly?
Do you want to move 280 GB of photos from iPhoto on your Mac to an external hard drive?
If that is the case, iCloud has nothing to do with it. You can move your iPhoto library to an external drive to free up space on your internal drive.

If that is not what you're trying to do, please rephrase your question. Thanks.

I can't find my install disc! How do I install my LG Super Multi BLADE Mac compatible external drive without the install disc?

You don't have installer discs with that model. What do you need to do? USB and Thunderbolt external drives do not require any special software. If you need to partition and format them, then use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

How can I save finished and shared movies from old iMovieHD-projects

Hi there, I have a big problem:
I have found some old iMovieHD 6 Projects. (.iMovieProject) that already have been finished years ago.
Now I would like to save the finished movies outside the projects but I can't find a way to do this although I've been searching in the www for hours.
When I go to the folder 'shared movies' I find a small .mov file - it's only some KB big.
I can start this and the movie plays with no problem im QuickTime Player 7, the quality ist quite ok - original films were .DV from a camcorder.
When I use iDVD I can take this movie without problems and burn it as DVD or .img on my hard disk.
In this .img I can find the folder VIDEO-TS where I can find the movie al .VOB. But the Quality is really awful.
How can I save the finished movie right out of the folder 'shared movies' in the best quality, maybe as .mov or other ?
I can't install iMovieHD 6.0.3 because my old iLive install-DVD was sold with my old macbook years ago and I don't know if it would work anyway on Mavericks 10.9.5
Now I have iMovie 10 and 11. Importing the old projects would not solve the problem because only the original clips were imported, not the project itself.
Would be QuickTime Pro a solution ? There are items like 'save as' or 'export' but I don't know if it works with this kind of files...

Save the clips as Quicktime files (full quality), then you can import them into later versions of iMovie. An iMovie 6 project would not be compatible with recent versions of iMovie.

How to back up projects and raw AVCHD footage???

Please bear with me as I'm really new to digital editing. I'm trying to understand how to work with AVCHD files. Obviously, these are too large to store on my computer once they are ingested; hence, the only option is to store the raw footage. I can burn the raw AVCHD footage to DVD no problem (I use an optional DVD burner that works with my Canon HF-10 camera). Now I'm trying to understand how to work with the system (i.e. save project files for re-editing later on). I'm using a Canon HF-10, and Final Cut Express 4, on a new MacBook Pro.
Here's how I think it might work, but please correct me if I'm wrong:
1) I begin a new project, ingesting the raw AVCHD footage as I need it.
2) I edit the footage and save the completed project.
3) With the project completed, and since the ingested video files are too big to save, I delete the ingested footage from the scratch drive, but still saving the FCE project file (This means that if I open the project file now, I will get a message telling me the media files have gone offline).
4) I move on to my next project, and carry on ingesting new AVCHD files as I did with the original project.
Here's where I'm confused...
5) I later come back to the original project to make a few changes.
QUESTION: Can I simply re-ingest the raw AVCHD footage into the scratch folder and carry on editing the first project? Or will I have problems with Final Cut Express finding the media files??? Or any other problems??
There may be easier ways to do this for someone who understands computers better than I do. I am looking for the simplest solution that will work for me, since I really don't have any technical computer skills/abilities. Will the procedure I described above work???
Thanks so much for your advice!

I'm no pro, and surely not a technical wizard, but what I plan on doing is this:
Back up the raw AVCHD files on DVD (2 copies ideally). Delete them from the camera. Ingest the files into FCE and edit. I won't change the name of the raw media files at any time, to avoid confusing FCE. Once I've finished editing, I'll keep the FCE project file (and any related files) on my hard drive. However, I will delete the huge ingested files from the hard drive (because, no matter how big an external drive you have, to me using 160GB to store two hours of video is nuts). Then, if at a later date I want to re-edit, I'll re-ingest the original files back onto the scratch drive. I figure FCE will read them fine, since they haven't changed; they've merely been removed and replaced. One key point here is that, when ingesting the AVCHD files, you must ingest the complete clips, not just a part of them. That way, nothing about the files (such as the length, starting and finishing points, etc.) will have changed. It may seem a bit awkward, but that's about the only way I, being a technophobe, can understand how to do it without keeping huge files on a hard drive. And, I am only speculating that this will work. At this point, I'm still waiting on the DVD burner that works with my Canon camcorder to arrive in the mail. Then I'll do some testing/experimenting. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

CS3 How to archive finished projects and erase all draft materials without losing final versions.

I have two questions, both related to system management. The first is simple and the second is more complex.
First, I hate that every time I open a Premiere Pro project I have to remember to reset the scratch disc settings because they are carried over from the previous project rather than being project-specific.
Is there a workaround so that the scratch disc settings can be attached to each project so they don’t need to be reset each time one reopens a project?
Second, I presently distribute my work over four (4) 1-TB drives as follows.
Drive D contains my Premiere (prproj and related) files as well as Encore (ncor DVD/BD burn files).
Drive E contains all captured files (transferred from tape).
Drives F and P are scratch drives where all the preview files are stored, both audio and video.
Presently, scratch drives F and P are full, project drive D is nearly full, and I am finished editing the projects which occupy these drives. Drive E, however, still has plenty of unused space.
What I want to do now is to archive the finished projects, along with associated preview files, source clips, and burn files on the E drive, which has plenty of free space remaining. Then I want to delete the project and associated assets from Drive D and erase both scratch drives F & P so that I can reuse those drives for new work.
To do that I have tried using the Project Manager to “collect files and copy to new location” to collect and copy each project to its own folder on the E drive.
The problem is that, having done that, and removed the preview files and project files from their original locations, when attempting to open the now relocated projects from their new locations, the relocated projects continue to look for the associated preview files in the old location (drive F or P), even though all the files associated with each relocated project now reside on the same drive in the same folder. It appears that the Project Manager does not associate the preview files and source clips that it relocates with the project files that it relocates.
Can someone explain this and how best to accomplish my goal of relocating and archiving finished projects along with their associated previews and source materials so that the originals can safely be deleted?
Thanks.

Is there a workaround so that the scratch disc settings can be attached to each project so they don’t need to be reset each time one reopens a project?
Yes. Upgrade to CS5.5. (This feature first showed up in CS4.)
What I want to do now is to archive the finished projects
You can safely delete everything on the F and P drives. Previews can simply be rebuilt. No need to waste space trying to save them.
Save the project files on the D drive. Delete the media on E (you can always recapture if you need to rebuild).
Do not use the Project Manager. Premiere Pro is an NLE. Use it for it's intended purpose. Use a real file manager (Windows Explorer on the PC, Finder on the Mac) to execute file operations.

How to Import Garageband projects and files into Cubase for Windows?

Hi
I've recently started using Garageband to record my ideas and compositions. I had 2 main questions:
1. How do I transfer the audio files created in Garageband in a format which will allow me to edit them in Music Software for a Windows based Operating system? Tranferring them to iTunes and then converting them to MP3 doesn't help because then my friends can't edit my guitar parts and other backing tracks.
Mainly I need to know how to save and import Garageband projects and individual tracks into Cubase/ Cakewalk for Windows so that my band guys can edit the tracks and send me their ideas.
I'm the only one out of my friends who has an Apple Macbook and most of my band guys still use Windows based Operating systems.
2. I record my guitars and other instruments using the Digitech GNX4 guitar effects processor as the sound source through USB. While I can record clean guitar without any problem, the moment I switch on the distortions on the GNX 4, there is a loud and constant hum from the speakers. I am therefore not being able to record distorted guitar sounds.
Please help on this.
Thanks and hope to hear from you all.
Cheers
Prash

Could be a ground loop problem. Test it using the MacBook on battery power only.

How to delete all projects and accompanied files from Adobe Premeiere Elements 13

I would like to delete all projects and files and start anew, but I cannot find a clear enough instruction how to do it. Please help'

vitprod
Same other versions as well.
There is no one delete button that wipes away the project file (.prel) and the project's assets. You need to go to the save locations of the project file (.prel) and its assets and delete
each one by one wherever they are saved UNLESS you pre-plan and, before the project is created, set up a particular project so that the project file with assets goes to its own folder instead of each component of the project going into a common place for Premiere Elements files and folder where you have to pick out the materials for deletion one by one by name.
Answers
Default type situation
If left at defaults and if your Premiere Elements 13 is running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, go to Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/13.0 and, in the 13.0 Folder, delete standalone files with your target project's name and delete files with your target project's name in the folders found in the 13.0 Folder.
Plan Ahead
Edit Menu/Preference/Scratch Disks - Set all to Same As Project.
Create a new folder at a hard drive location of choice.Then point the project file to that folder for the Save In.
Tip: When the Expert workspace of the new project opens, go to File Menu/Save As. Name the project and set the new folder created as the Save In of the Save Project dialog.
Please review and consider and then let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thanks.

How do I save image and text as a single image in InDesign CS5.0?

How do I save an image and text as one image in InDesign CS5.0? NOT 5.5.
I need to save the image as a 72-dpi, jpg file for ePub purposes. I designed a book and am handing it off to someone for ePub.
This is what I've tried:
1) Copied from InDesign, pasted into a PhotoShop doc as a Smart Object. Saved it as 72 dpi jpg, then imported back into ID.
2) Took a screenshot of ID page, placed it in PS, saved as 72 dpi, imported into ID
3) Saved page as a PDF from InDesign, then saved PDF as 72 dpi jpg, then imported into ID.
4) Save page as a PDF from InDesign, placed into Photoshop and saved
as 72 dpi, then imported into ID.
5) Saved as an EPS from InDesign, placed in PS, then imported back to ID.
In all cases, the type looks terrible. It doesn't seem to matter whether I copy or place into Photoshop, though placing is slightly better.
HELP!!!

In all cases, the type looks terrible. It doesn't seem to matter whether I copy or place into Photoshop, though placing is slightly better.
Naturally what you did will result in rasterized text. Did you preview with high quality settings?
Are you sure the people who will handle that downstream need pixel images and do you have the exact pixel dimensions needed?
Why did you place the image back in Indesign, by the way?
