  • How do I change the preview file location?

    I have a SSD "C:" drive which is filling up, and I have other drives with lots of space and performance, so I'd like to move where SB stores the preview files (currently in  "Adobe Soundbooth Preview Files") to a different drive.
    I haven't seen anything in the SB config which allows me to do this, is there a way, and if so - what is it?
    Thx!    

    (1) Open a new tab to about:config (type about:config in the Awesomebar and tap the go arrow or tap Enter)
    (2) In the search box, type down and tap Enter
    (3) Scroll down to browser.download.folderList and tap Modify, then change the value from 1 to 2 (from default always to last used folder). The change should appear after a few seconds.
    (3) Scroll back up and tap the "Add a New Setting" button
    (A) String is the correct type, so OK that
    (B) The name of the preference should be browser.download.dir (this stores the last used directory)
    (C) The value should be /sdcard/ followed by the folder name you want to use, for example, /sdcard/FxDown

  • How do I change the master files location?

    Hi all,
    there is a question that is making me crazy.
    I got all my master file inside an external Hd (named 1).
    The entire collection of the master file is backed up inside another external Hd (named 2).
    The question is: in case Hd 1 get broken, how can I "tell" to Aperture to select the master file inside the Hd 2 (that are right the same)?
    Is there a shortcut?
    I hope someone can help me to solve that.
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Simone

    If I understand, in Aperture you can select different location for different files.
    If you want to move only some pictures from the external Hd into another location (for example your Pc Hd), you can select them then choose file/relocate master and select a different location for them.
    The suggest is maintain the same folder structure while moving this files.
    Aperture is still able to find them.
    In case you get confused about the exact location of a pictures, simply right click on the mouse and select "show in the finder".
    I hope this is what you asked.

    Connect phone to computer.
    Select Restore.
    Tell iTunes which of the available backup files to use, let iTunes restore it.
    Also, try reading the User's Guide as it answers questions like this.

  • How can i change the backup intervals on time machine

    how do i change the backup intervals on the timemachine? i found one answer that told me to go into system>library>launchdaemons, but i dont have the file com.apple.backupd-auto.plist in the launchdaemons folder to change the second increments. what am i missing and what can i do to change it like others have?

    Hello Oilfield Dan:
    This will change your TIme Capsule backup intervals:
    sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int 14400  To every four hours.  My issue is that when I run this it won't change it.. Still does it every hour.. Do you have any thoughts on WHY this will not change... Even with reboots, resets, poweroff.  UNIX should do what you tell it but this is not working. I do not want to use the GUI Time Capsule interval changer. I want to have total control. Does anyone know???? THANK YOU.

  • How do I change the Home file name back to Home?

    Help! - How do I change the Home file name back to Home? My supplier changed it to Demo. I've tried pressing return, control click and Get Info but none gives access to change the name. Any ideas?

    The Home folder isn't named "Home." It is named for the user account it represents.
    Who is your "supplier?" Sounds like they're not terribly bright.
    Can you provide some details on why they "changed" it. Is this a brand new Mac? Were you having information transferred from another computer?
    It sounds like you just need to create a new account and get rid of "Demo."
    While logged into the "Demo" account, go to System Preferences in the Apple Menu.
    Click on Users & Groups
    If the padlock is locked, click on it and enter your password.
    Click the + button at the bottom of the list of users. This will create a new account. Fill in the information you'd like to use for your account. The account name is what will be used for the "Home" folder.
    Once created, select it from the list and check the box to "Allow user to administer this computer."
    You can then log out of "Demo" and log in as your new user. If there is nothing in the Demo account that you want, you can delete it from the Users & Groups System Pref.

  • How do I change the .php file name for a page of my site?

    how do I change the .php file name for a page of my site? The only link to the page is the nav. button link for it in the global nav. The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.

    The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
    I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail.

  • :-)  How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

    Hi All,
    We encounter a problem.
    Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
    How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
    We'd like to specify another path.
    Thx for your help.
    Erwan

    Hello,
    Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
    You can link your PC directory to the application server.
    You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
    If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
    If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • I'd like to change the dfault file location, C:My pictures, to another file location, eg E or G. What can I do to change it?

    See above question.

    Hi trshaner,
    Thanks again for your complete reaction. I’ve looked at the video and the help-information. This made me decide to leave the file My pictures where it is (C) and move some of the other folders/files to the E-drive. Thanks for your help.

    HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER????? because my c drive in the windows computer gets filled and i need to back up my ipod to a portable hard disk.. bt i dont know how to do it.. plz help

    you can't change the backup folder as far as I know, but you can choose to move backups. The information you need can be found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
    Hope this helps

  • I'd like to back up iPhone4 to external HD before upgrade (Local drive to full).  How do I change the backup location?

    Upgrading to iOS5.  I'd like to back up my iPhone4 to an external HD before upgrading, but the utility uses the local HD as default.  Not enough room locally for my back-up.  How can I change the destination drive for back-up?

    iPhone Backup Location for Windows 7, XP, and Vista
    Windows XP stores all of your iPhone backup files in this location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista and Windows 7 backs up the iPhone files to here:
    C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Obviously if your main drive is not C: then you’ll have to change that, same goes for ‘user’

  • How can I change the source file so it is direct from external hard drive?

    I am trying to make a movie on imovie of a snowboarding trip that I went on, there is around 80 to 100 gig of mp4 movies that will not fit on my computer that I have stored on my external harddrive. I had the movie half finished then found I could do no more as I had no space left in my mac. I had to delete everything and start again but I'm not doing this until I can find a way of changing the source file so I can take them direct from my external hard drive as to not use up all my computers available space. I have moved imovie to my external hard drive but it still tries to read from a movie file on my mac, how can I change that so it will read from a source file on my external hard drive, is it possible?? Can someone help me??

    Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
    I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.

  • How do I change the default file saving type

    I have seen this question all over the web, but none of the answers I have found apply to my version of Photoshop (CS5).
    I want to change the default file type when I save files.  I don't want PSD or PDF, I want PNG.
    I want to hit CTRL + SHIFT + S like normal, but I don't want to select PNG from the drop-down menu when I go to name my items.
    I don't want to create an action for each file I work with - I want this to be a default setting change across all of photoshop on every file.
    Any help?  Adobe has been of zero assistance. 

    I have already tried the "Actions" method - which is glitchy in and of itself!
    What I am doing is very simple - I am making photo slide shows.  I create a new file that is 1920 x 1280 (the size of my display) and then I open 100+ images.  I copy and paste each image into the 1920x1280 file so that all images display the same on my screen when I run the slides.  I re-size and adjust the position of each image so it appears how I want.
    So I copy and paste my first image into the 1920x1280 canvas and then hit F2 (the button I applied the save as PNG action to).  It saves the file.  Then I copy and paste another image into the file and hit F2.  Rather than creating a new file (or even a copy) Photoshop writes over the last file I made.  YAY!  More wasted time!
    It blows my mind that a function as simple as "Change default file type" is missing from such an expensive, accredited program.  How can their software engineers overlook something that hundreds of other people (like me) have posted a need for online?  Something so simple?  Andy why is it my job now to learn how to do scripting for Photoshop to add in a feature that should be standard?  Is that why I pay $50 a month for this software or why I bought CS5 outright for more than $1000?
    So that's what I am trying to do - make a slide show where each image is exactly the same size.  It seems the only option Adobe gives me is "WASTE MORE OF YOUR TIME"
