Just do restrict yourself to files under /Users. If you go deleting things in directories you do not understand, you are likely to break the operating system.
If you have questions about large files outside of /Users, then ask before deleting.

How do you look through Time Capsule files individually?

I'm backing up for the first time ever on my new Time Capsule that I just picked up from the Apple store. I was wondering, because I noticed that while I'm still backing up that there's one file marked for today's date and backup, if there was a way to individually sort through which files are getting backed up to make 100% sure they're recopied. I cannot afford to accidentally delete something thinking it's on here.
Thanks!

If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

I have the new version of iMovie, and when i try to start the program, i can't because it says that it is looking for some movie files from the Iphoto, so all the program is locked up... how can i do to restart the program??

Hi
Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
• Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
• Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
• Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
• Then iPhoto should start up OK
• Now Quit iPhoto
• START iMovie
Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

Watch out with Excel. As you use the High Speed Recorder to create the
original file you will most probably create quite large files quite
fast. Translating that into an ASCII spreadsheet would work fine in
LabVIEW but Excel has a limitation that it can't open spreadsheet files
above a certain number of rows. I do believe this is around 64k rows but
it does a little vary depending on the number of columns you have.

When I look up the creation date for files on my Macbook I get the date and month in brackets, but not the year. Why is this and how can I look up the year?

When I look up the creation date for files on my Macbook (using "get info", or the information window in Iphoto) I get the date and month in brackets, but not the year. Why is this and how can I look up the year?

Does the Date Modified column in a window set to List view show the date correctly, or does it also display it incorrectly?
To add additional columns to a Finder (folder) window, with that window open and active open the View Options for it. You can do that by pressing Command-J or by selecting View Options from the View menu in the main menubar.

Arlington Historical Society wants to give its visitors the ability to look at our IPhoto files on the Apple computer in our office, but NOT be able to modify them in any way. How can we do this?

Thanks. We want visitors to browse through our historical photos in any of the ways iPhoto will allow them, including slide shows, but also searching for photos by key word and viewing them along with the comments we have entered on that photo.
I was beginning to think iPhoto had no capability to limit users to certain functions.
I wonder if the use of Apple's sharing files function would help. I have read that it is possible to share files with others, and to limit their use to viewing only, but I don't know how to do this.

I have two different itunes music files on my computer. How do I combine them into one file?

I have two different itunes music files on my computer. How do I combine them into one file?

I don't think so. The only other ID I have is a developer id, and I didn't get that until several months after I got the phone. In addition purchases I made from the App Store onthe phone would sync up with It unes on the Mac meaning it would be the same id.
However I looked at the AppStore on my phone while it was connected to the Mac with iTunes open, and now the balance has changed to the same as the others.

How do I find out a file's particular size?

Good Evening,
I am looking for assistance with figuring out a file's particular size within a group of files.
If I have one large directory and I am looking to find out what the smallest file in that directory is, how would I go about doing it?
Also, how would I figure out when the file was created on the system or particular hard drive such as a network attached storage device?
Thank you!

While command + i (or the Finder Information icon) would give you the file size, that would require a one-by-one approach. Perhaps quicker would be using a utility like "What Size" that will list Folders/files and give the size of each.

How Do I Use DVD Studio Pro Files In iDVD?

I had somebody create a DVD for me using DVD Studio Pro. (This was a compilation of many different videos.) It turned out great.
I now want to make a DVD of one of those videos on my own using iDVD '08.
I have the raw video/audio files. But, my problem is the raw files that were used for the DVD Studio Pro project are separated into one video file and one audio file. I don't know how I can get them both into iDVD. I was told that I have to recombine these two files into one file. But, how do I do this and still maintain the best quality?
(I am not a video expert by any means, but I can tell you that the video file is a ".mpeg" and the audio file is an ".ac3". When looking at the .mpeg file in the finder it lists its Kind as "MPEG Movie" and when looking at the .ac3 file in the finder it lists its Kind as "Unix Executable File".)
(I'm using iDVD 7.0.1 - I do have Quicktime Pro - I do not have the Quicktime MPEG-2 Playback component - I do not have DVD Studio Pro)
Thanks in advance for your help!

Q: How Do I Use DVD Studio Pro Files In iDVD?
A: You don't, essentially.
DVDSP is apple's top end app and it is intended to be used with FCP > Compressor > DVDSP. All of these are pro apps.
i-Apps are consumer apps all of which are QT based. With that in mind ....
now that doesn't mean you can't use FCP > iDvd. You can. But you have to do it in a way that iDvd will read all the files (meaning you must think in terms of QuickTime and export in this way). So when you export your QT File / Movie from FCP over to iDvd, it will look something like this hopefully regardless of the raw image & audio files you have already compiled which unfortunately will NOT work with i-Apps BUT will work with apple's pro apps which is the intended workflow / direction of said files in the first place.
Btw ... if your QT movie has chapter markers then please use the following settings so iDvd can read these markers. (if on the other hand you were looking to export this file to DVDSP; then you would choose DVDSP Markers.
Let me know if the above helps. If not, just come on back.

How do I output a large Ai file as multiple PDFs (via views, pages, whatever)

I am working in FreeHand 10 and Illustrator CS3 on a large street map. The client wants to do his own edits to the map in Illustrator (version unknown) then output it so he can show a section per page, in an atlas he plans to publish. And maintain the map himself in the future. The base map is 30 inches square, and the section excerpted on each page of his atlas will be 7 x 9 inches.
The client currently outputs (text-only) directories in MS Word, and I'm wondering if I need to tell him "Hey, you need to buy and learn InDesign (as well as Illustrator) to output your atlas" or whether there's an easy way to output a large map in multiple PDFs, a page at a time that he could use as images in Word. I am trying to keep it sensible for everyone plus affordable.
What I know about Word is you can make a picture box, and crop images placed in the picture box, but I could only get it to crop an inch or two at most. Not the comparative "limitless" picture box found in Quark (and I assume InDesign).
(In FreeHand I had a similar atlas project where I created the master map on page 1, then made a couple dozen small pages, each with a rectangle (a frame) on a top layer. I gave each frame a "lens fill" set to a magnification of 1X, and put the centerpoint over the desired part of the master map. The section of the map appeared in the frame. This worked great for the first five or ten pages -- I could make multi-page PDFs -- a sort of PDF atlas. Eventually all the processing of lines, type, and fills bogged down my Mac's (or FreeHand's) memory so the PDF export would abort mid-stream -- I ended up outputting only individual map pages or 10-12 pages per PDF).
IS THERE A WAY to do a similar, multi-page output, or a series of little PDFs, in CS3? (Or in CS4, which is in the mail)? I know the "professional" way is to place the full EPS or PDF of the map in a page layout program and crop the picture box to the desired area. That's making more and more sense.
I get the sense from what I don't find in the CS3 User Manual that the only way to output a drawing is a page at a time (and naturally only one page per file). I would feel a little nervous in CS4 making an array of multiple pages butted against each other and laying the map on top of them all (but maybe that would work). CS4 has "views" but I don't know if they correspond to output files.
There are enough pages in the finished atlas that it's not economical to make the master map into a big PDF, save multiple copies, then crop each PDF on a different section of the map (such as using Apple Preview). Enough hand-work that labor would equal the cost of the software we're tentatively too frugal to buy. (A clue as to how to proceed).
The client is on a PC (not necessarily a powerful one); has a friend with Illustrator. Is open to upgrading his equipment. I'm on a Mac G4, running Illustrator CS3 and soon CS4.
At a certain point it may be the least troublesome approach is to lay the learning curve and burden of [computer and] software acquisiiton on the client and let each piece of software do what it does best. Or say, "sorry, editable files aren't practical, but here's a good set of prints for you to mark up, and I'll do the edits and make you a set of PDFs" which is more how I usually work.
I acknowledge this was a rather long, multi-stranded question; thanks to anyone who waded through it, and I apprciate any wisdom anyone can offer. Thanks!

...continued
If this is a valued and expectedly ongoing relationship, regardless of whether the files working files are going to be in FH or AI, I would make sure that both your and his working files are both on the same application (and I would say even the same platform).
> The client currently outputs (text-only) directories in MS Word, and I'm wondering if I need to tell him "Hey, you need to buy and learn InDesign (as well as Illustrator) to output your atlas".
I would politely and briefly commend the client for considering doing his own routine edit maintenance, but caution him that such edits need to be done in the native map files, not in the "container" file of whatever program he imports the artwork into. Doing so will likely involve a not-impractical, but still-significant learning curve for him or his staff--editing the maps requires at least working familiarity with a vector drawing program--and offer your services to help him along the way as he learns. If the client is going to commit to doing his own edits, he needs to commit up-front to doing them
correctly in the native illustration files' format. Otherwise, he will be asking for trouble down the road that will eventually cost him more than the benefits of bringing the edits in-house.
>...or whether there's an easy way to output a large map in multiple PDFs, a page at a time that he could use as images in Word.
PDF exported from FH will not provide the client the editability you have suggested he needs. PDF exported from Illustrator (with AI editability included) will have the same file-size problem you've already encountered: Content of the map beyond the page is merely masked, not actually removed.
> I am trying to keep it sensible for everyone plus affordable.
I commend
you for that stance. Freelance illustrators often shoot themselves in the foot by being overly protective of
practial illustration / design work that a client rightly
needs to be able to edit. Helping the client achieve self-sufficency can be just as profitable (or more so) than requiring the client to come back to you for every little edit.
> What I know about Word...
Include in your explanation with your client: Common office- or personal-productivity software, by their nature, lack technical capability necessary and proper for commercial reproduction. It's not that they are "bad" or "amateurish" programs; they're just not designed for the purpose.
Leave open the option of re-importing the map illustrations into Word, if the client still wants to. But re-emphasize that any routine
editing of the working map files needs to be done in their native illustration program.
> (In FreeHand I had a similar atlas project where I [used Lens objects]. This worked great for the first five or ten pages...[but eventually]...bogged down....
Illustrator provides nothing like FreeHand's excellent Lens Fill feature. You can use Clipping Masks and Symobls as a cumbersome workaround, but you'll have the same file-size issues, because you are merely masking artwork, not actually removing it.
I must admit I can't remember if FH's Lens objects actually trim to their content after being Ungrouped, (and don't presently have FH on this laptop to check), but I don't think so. If they did, then Lens objects would be an alternative to the other cutting method described below.
> IS THERE A WAY to do a similar, multi-page output, or a series of little PDFs, in CS3? (Or in CS4, which is in the mail)?
I strongly suspect that artwork that
spans adjacent pages in AI CS4 will be treated the same as artworking which
extends beyond the artboard in current AI: it will be merely masked with a clipping path when exported to PDF, not trimmed. The same sloppy and data-heavy content problems will persist.
> I get the sense from what I don't find in the CS3 User Manual that the only way to output a drawing is a page at a time (and naturally only one page per file).
No. In CS3 you could:
1. Open the 30 x 30 map in AI on a 30 x 30 Artboard.
2. In the Print dialog, set up 7 x 9 page tiling, and in the Output pane, select Tile Full Pages.
3. Export a multi-page PDF.
But again, the content of the PDF pages would merely mask the artwork that extends beyond each page tile. Your PDF file(s) will still likely be much larger than necessary.
Understand, that may still be a workable option if the client places in his page layouts some
other format that actually crops the artwork. In other words, you could:
1. Get the FH native artwork into AI and perform all the cleanup necessary for the AI file to become from now on your permanent working file.
2. Use a single Artboard, and use PageTiling as described above to export the multi-page PDF.
3. Use Acrobat Professional to export the PDF pages to raster images.
4. Place the raster images in whatever program is to be used for the whole document page layouts.
> The client is on a PC (not necessarily a powerful one); has a friend with Illustrator. Is open to upgrading his equipment. I'm on a Mac G4, running Illustrator CS3 and soon CS4.
The above workflow should work fine. To be self-sufficient, it would require as a minimum:
* The client contracting with you to build a proper and clean AI version of the FH map. Depending on the actual content, that may be a straightforward file translation, or it may require alot of tedious and time-consuming cleanup after importing the FH artwork.
* The client (and/or friend) would need Illustrator and Acrobat Pro, plus whatever program he choses for the page assembly work. If he/they use AI CS4, that
may suffice for the page-assembly portion of the work, too. That's yet to be seen. One limitation that comes immediately to mind is that AICS4's long overdue multiple page capability is (unlike FH's) limited to 100 pages.
> Or say, "sorry, editable files aren't practical, but here's a good set of prints for you to mark up, and I'll do the edits and make you a set of PDFs" which is more how I usually work.
That is, of course, for you to work out with the client. It sounds like your head is screwed on straight. You are looking for the most practical and expedient solution to server your customer, not being denfensive and desirous of requiring the client to come to you for every little edit.
The decisions is going to boil down to how much actual illustration editing know-how he wants to take on. It can be a great hands-on training opportunity for you as his "on call" trainer. That arrangement would provide your client the practical autonomy he wants, with the comfort and confidence that things won't get out of whack with you as his outsource guru.
Or, the client may find that the editing tasks require more hands-on skill than he wants to take on. Consider doing a walk-through exercise to show him (and/or his staff) the skills involved in the kinds of edits they will need to make routinely.
Regardless, though, I would firmly insist that the editing needs to be always done "according to Hoyle" in the native illustration program--and
never (stress this) by means of cheezy workaounds in the page-layout program, or some intermediate program. That is
not in your client's best interest, even if it seems initially the "easy way out." It will quickly lead to the map artwork becomming an unmanageable mess.

How can I export a compressed mp4 file from iMovie (mavericks)?

Hello everyone,
I had just downloaded the new version of iMovie.
I'm very amazed to see that the funcion "Export movie with QuickTime" is not available.
I used this funcion to customize parameters of exported videos;
How can now customize parameters? I have to use another external software to produce mp4 files???
Thankyou for answers.
Gianmarco

If you use "Share" and choose 540P, 720P or 1080P it will be mp4, withH264 codec. You just have to once figure out what spefic settings (for example bitrates) are used with the defaults from iMovie 13 (look-up the exported files with info in Quicktime), and wether they are ok with you.
In the former version I already used automator to achieve some specfic settings for my web-video's, now I think I don't need that anymore.
The only way around as far as I know is the usage of QTPro7 or compressor. Export as 1080P and open the file with one of those apps.

How can I restore an n70 .nfb file to my new n73 w...

Hi, I've just had my n70 stolen but ironically my new n73 arrived the same day. I have a recent nokia file backup which I created through the nokia PC suite that came with the n70, but when I try to restore the .nfb to the n73 it doesn't even recognize that there's a backup file present. Does anyone know if I should be able to do this? If not then can anyone tell me how I can read an nfb file? I've tried the file extension changing method [to .txt and .csv] and it doesn't work. I'm stuck. Help greatly appreciated!

For the N70, Try one of the *.exe's in the zip found here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/43521346/arcphppnx.zip.html
That will 'split-out' your files (wrong file name however). This post, http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?s=21e5c52ae8071b90e2784b71124a7426&t=89230&pa... should outline how to identify your files, if not, google for apps that will identify/rename the extensions of files (use header/magic number values) or look into the Unix/Linux 'file' command.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Rich
P.S. The PHP script which makes up the exe above is also available in the post.

How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) I made into an mp3 file on itunes?

How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) that I made into an mp3 file on iTunes? I want to put it on a CD, but I can't figure out how to convert it. I didn't buy it, I made it by converting a YouTube video into an mp3 (I wanted to get the little song in the video for a ringtone.) I'm not sure what to do.

Hello ed2345,
Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
That's how the .m4p file looks like
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one.
