I use Aperture on my Mac and have approx 450Gigs of raw files for my photos and growing. I'm running short on space and system is starting to slow down. What are the best ooptions to improve performance and increase space space.?

important to note that what you are talking about is not a backup
It is simple to ahve your iPhoto library on an external drive -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
And you can have multiple i{Photo libraries - one can be on your internal drive and other on an external drive -- iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - is a very helpful tool for managing multiple libraries

I want to create a movie in iMovie 10 and watch in on Apple TV. What is the best work flow to save hard drive space?

I want to create a movie in iMovie 10 and watch in on Apple TV. What is the best work flow to save hard drive space?

Jim,
Thanks for the advice. I have avoided iMovie Theater because that would soon use all of my free iCloud allowance (although that could be an option). I have been sharing to iTunes at 720p thinking that my picture using Apple TV would be better than Large. I see now that I could use about 30% less hard drive space by using Large instead. Do you think I will experience an annoying difference in picture quality?

What is the best option to store catalogs and photos not located on the desktop CPU for easy access by PSE? My 2TB HD is almost full.

I currently use PSE 11 & have purchased PSE 13, I use a Dell XPS8300 that is was purchased in 2011 and has a 2TB HD, however, it is 75%full. I have several large catalogs, all located on drive C (My Catalog, Scrapbooking Supplies, Etc), I would like to move these catalogs to another larger external device, along with the tagged jpgs, pngs, and psd files that go with them, while maintaining the ability to access them quickly from my desktop, using PSE. I have briefly considered My Cloud or My Book, but an uncertain if either of these are the correct choice, or if another option would better suit my needs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tyna

In a similar situation you are right in your option to move your image libraries to external drives. Your choice is to move only the picture files tree or to move also the catalogs. Keeping the catalogs on your C: drive does not require much disk space and speeds up the operations a little.
There are mainly two ways to move your pictures to a new drive:
- Using the 'Folders' panel and dragging the master folder of your pictures tree to the external drives. You keep the catalog in its original default location and the paths of the files in the new drive are automatically updated. Be patient, that may take hours. You can move all your files at once, or choose to move folder by folder (moving a folder also moves its subfolders).
- Or use the backup/restore procedure.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
You specify a master folder on the new external drive for the custom location. That will also move the catalog folder to the new drive, but you can choose to move it back to the default location on your C: drive.
Even if you choose the 'move' solution, do a full backup before for safety.
Keeping the catalogs on the new external drive may slow down the process a little, but the big advantage is that you can access your catalog and library from another computer with Elements.

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
Thank's in advance again,
André

I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

I have a 1 Terrabyte HD and need to free up space, what is the best way to do so

I want to free up space, what is the best way to do so without compromising speed and efficiencies?

Put large files you do not use often on the external. Movies. I only watch a particular movies once every few years so I can keep them all on an external drive and just move them to my internal (for fast access) when I actually want to watch them.
Make sure you buy a second external drive. When your nice new 1TB drive develops a fault all your files on it will be lost.

What is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?

For I-phone and I-pad, what is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi? I turned off wifi in my settings but my boss thinks there may be another way and a better way to use something else instead of wifi. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks! That is a very good question you post. My boss asked me that and I am assuming that he is having issues with using wifi wherever he is at. My boss is the kind of person that when he asks something you look into it and ask him no questions...he's the only one asking questions! But thank you for your response I will tell him the information you told me and hopefully that will help!

What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

#1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
#2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
#3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
#4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

What is the best option today for an external DVD Drive self powered

I am planning to remove the internal DVD-ROM and use the MCE OptiBay to install a second SSD in RAID 0 configuration, what is the best option today for an external DV-ROM, ideally self powered via USB or Firewire ?, thanks

can't say I agree with the RAID 0, if that messes up or one drive dies, you lose it all. Not to mention, The SSDs made like that aren't made for RAIDs...
The ones that can are really expensive, high end stuff.

What is the best option for storing my iphoto library on the cloud?

I was curious as to what people are doing (other than backing up to external HD) for backing up the iphoto library? Anyone using any cloud solution out there for storage? What are some of the best options? I have around 30,000 photos in my iphoto library.

There is no good solution for storing the Library in the Cloud. The amount of data involved means that uploading or downloading is very, very slow. We do see posts on here from people trying to restore from a back up to the Cloud wondering if it's possible to speed up the download currently estimated in days. Running a Library from the cloud is just painfully slow - people have tried it and that is the consensus.
However, as part of a comprehensive back up plan there is a lot to be said for backing up your Photos to the cloud. Not as good as backing up the whole Library, but as a "last line" you at least have your photos. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.

What is the best option to edit the PO delivery address for third party

Dear Community members,
first of all have some sunny greetings from Germany and thanks for my last question.
Standard SAP third party process - Create SO - Purchase requisition - Create purchase Order.
In the purchase order the ship to address from SO is shown greyed what is standard.
So now our user requests to be able to enter another address because e.g. :The customers ship to address is in Berlin, but the vendor delivers to Hamburg. From there we take over the delivery and bringing it to the end customer address. So some vendors require to see the Hamburg ship to address instead of the one in Berlin.
So our customer service people print the PO out and edit it manually atm.
So now I am asking you if you had simililar issue and what is the best way to solve it. We could use some new partner function and assign it to the relevant customer and choose that one in the PO. Maybe it is also possible to change the address into the edit mode and overwrite the address in the PO?
Thanks for your help
Goran

It will not be possible to edit the delivery address in the PO in standard. You will need to change the ship-to in the Sales order.
