Where should I place music files?
1) If I download an MP3 where should I save the file? I'm looking to play these with iTunes.
2) I currently see a file that is called "automatically add to iTunes" among others drilled down into the music folder. Is this the quickest way?
3) I also have some music files witin the finder showing up under "all my files". What should I do with these?
Sorry, PC guy coming over to the dark side recently and not to familiar with my MBA yet. Thanks!

Yes. You can make a shortcut to that folder and put it on the desktop.
3) I also have some music files witin the finder showing up under "all my files". What should I do with these?
Don't do anything with them.
If you are using the Search at top right of a Finder window, that simply finds files anywhere.

Where should I place graphic files?
Setting up a new machine with external Sonnet drives. Should I place non time code files such as graphics, Motion files, music, etc. on the external drives? Or is it OK to place these files on an internal drive? Also, best place for render files, auto save, and thumbnail folders? Really appreciate any input.
Thanks again,
TomThere is no single correct answer to this. I store graphics files on a non-boot internal drive volume, inside a folder at the top level named, imaginatively Graphics, sub-foldered by project names.
Likewise, at the same level, I have a folder named Music Cuts, and, also arranged in folders by project names, individual folders with the music inside. I also have a folder named Audio, which contains, inside project folders, VOs and SFX.
I hope that makes sense.
Periodically, I will drag the Graphics, Music, and Audio folders to a CD (or DVD, when the folders get too large for a CD), along with the FCP Projects folder from the boot volume. (As with the others, project files are organized in folders named with the project names), and burn the disc for archival purposes. I label the disc with the date and the names of the top level folders.
From time to time, I will delete all aged files and folders that haven't seen any use in a good long while. By that time, I have several copies of them on several discs.
Many years ago, I did the same thing, but back then I was saving to a 3.5" floppy. That's how old my practice is. -

Where should I place my preloaders?
Hi all,
Would like to seek advice on where should I place the
preloaders.
I have a banner swf, menu swf, main content swf, and intro
swf. where should i load the preloader? on the main MC that will be
calling these swf? or each swf have their own preloader? that would
look rather weird.
Of should I just merged banner, menu, main content and intro
altogether? How do i do that? I am lost as to should I separate
them out or put all eggs in 1 nest. My main content will have
transitions between each sections.
since my menu is separate from the main content, how do I
point them to get the main content to change section whenever user
click on 1 sections?
I am so lost. Please advise. ThanksHey X, sorry I haven't responded of late, working elsewhere.
Let me address some of the questions you've had above.
1) I'm very sorry, I see that I missed that assignment when I
typed this out, within the loadFile function the correct call
should be: mcl.loadClip(src, clip);
2)the code is AS2, and yes it is legal coding. first, we're
setting up parameters for our function here, and then we pass them
this information when we call the method that we've set up, so that
we can 'feed' information to the function that then uses it to
perform it's job. the variable declarations in this case here are
called 'strict typing' (ie. src:String, file:String, ...) and it's
just a way to define variables of a particular 'type', it isn't
necessary to follow the variable names with the type declaration,
but I thought that I would include it here so that it made sense to
you and so that you could see what type of variables need to be
passed to the function. the varaibles MUST be passed to the
function in the order that they are listed.
3) yes you've got this all right :) The onLoadInit handler
fires when the loaded clip becomes instantiated on the timeline
(eg. available), previous to this point you could NOT say something
like 'clip.gotoAndPlay(10);' because the loading clip was not yet
available for the call, and it would fail. So you can use this
handler to tell the loaded clip to 'do something' if you need this
type of functionality, like say for instance that you need the
loaded swf to go to a certain 'page' depending on what button the
user pressed, this handler would be a way for you to pass that
informtion along, and tell the loaded clip to goto the correct
position, handy ;)
As to the last question in 3, I touched on that above, my bad
4) I was just talking about the name of the swf file being
called 'dummy'.
5) No, put everything in frame one, but on a different
layers. Place your preloader on the top layer, and the 'blank' MCs
(to load into) on layers below.
OK, on to your last post.
Yes, the way it's set up here the preload bar would run to
100% for each load and then start again for the next one, it also
has a text instance that tells the use what is being loaded each
time. This could all be changed, and you can certainly use you own
preloader instance, however you will need to reconstruct the method
that is handling the progress. See if you wanted ALL of the
instance your loading to equal 100% of your loader bars progress
(for the first load anyway) you can't calculate the total bytes of
all files previous to initiating the load, so you have a problem
here. One method might be to 'break up' the load and apportion the
progress indicator evenly for each item needed in the intital site
loading. what I mean by that is, if you have 4 items that are
needed to load, then each item would 'move' the progress bar by
25%, so that when 100% of the first item is loaded, the progress
bar is revealed by 25%, then the second load reveals 50%, and so
on. It will just take a little math to change the code to handle
the progressions. Now I would suggest that you NOT animate the
masking rectangle by frames, I would do this with code adjusting
the _x position of the mask by an amount that has been calculated
with the loading code. also this method will have to accomidate,
both multi-loads and singlular loads so you'll need to use another
parameter to define how the preload indicator progress is 'broken'
and into how many parts. This would end up in the math that defines
the system that controls the indicator.
OK this should be enough for you to think about for now

Can ASA 5585 perform BGP?"Where should i place an ASA firewall in my network? Should i connect ASA outside interface directly to the ISP?"
Yes outside interface, assume that is where your primary internet circuit is terminated.
You don't necessarily need to peer over BGP just for sake of getting internet connection from your ISP.
Yes, ASA can perfrom BGP.

Where should I store video files on Mac?
Where should I file video files on my new Mac?
Are these projects you've worked on in iPhoto or iMovie? Then they're stored in their libraries by default.
If they're just videos you've copied to your computer, you can store them in your User folder (little house icon) > make a new folder and name it Videos; or User folder > Documents > new folder Videos. Be aware that those are space hoggers and you need to have an absolute ,ini,u, of 10 - 15 GB of empty space on your hard drive at all times - more is much, much better. So, an external drive with all your videos might be a good solution - you can just drag & drop them there. -
How to find out where all my itunes music files are stored on my computer?
I cannot locate the place where all my itunes files/playlists are located on my system. I need to copy this file into my flash drive in order to install into my new systems itunes folder. How do I locate this file?
thanks again KarenNormally your music from iTunes will be located in "My Music/iTunes" The file name you should be looking for then is called iTunes Music Library(.xml) and iTunes Library(.itl) The reason why the codes in brakets are there are because they are pascific codes which these files will be under if you were to have all the known system file types active. Once you've found them and transfered to your flash drive/external hard drive, open up iTunes and tell it via import through file or just copy the file onto the new system.
The alternitive is just to do this, open up iTunes, click on file, then go to export library, then just tell it where you want the file to be located instead. -
Where should your various media files be located?
After backing up my purchased TV Shows, iPhone apps, music and movies, I have done a clean reinstall of iTunes on a cleanly reinstalled OS (Windodws7).
While all of my music seemed to have been restored, I am unable to locate a folder in which to place my purchased apps and TV shows for iTunes to recognize.
Is there a specific procedure to going about this?iTunes doesn't automatically scan the folders for content, or look for specific types of content in different locations. Add the folders or drop the content into the *Automatically add to iTunes folder* (the recent exception to the rule above). TV Shows or Music Videos will generally be assumed to be Movies until you tell iTunes otherwise. If you decide to let iTunes keep your files organised the paths will end up looking a bit like the layout on the right.

2 SATA drives - Where should I place my ACRcache, catalog, and images?
Two drives
Application is on the boot drive.
Where/how should I split up the ACRcache, catalog, and images?
Should I have the catalog on a different drive then the cache?
Should the catalog and cache be on the same drive?

Why?
Hi Dorin,
Well basically there are four areas where disk I/O can impact performance. The catalog, previews, images and ACR cache. So with only two drives how do you minimize disk contention during typical LR editing?
Of the four the ACR cache activity is going to be both frequent and be writing large blocks data. Splitting it off first is makes the most sense. Putting it the system disk also makes sense since while running Lightroom that is going to be mostly idle since hopefully you are presumably just running LR.
The catalog is clearly going to have the highest update frequency but data sizes of each will be very small. So keeping it separate from the cache is a good idea.
The previews by default get stored with the catalog and since they are generated in the back ground with lower priority it is best to leave them where they are.
The image files clearly are best on the second disk. So practically it makes more sense to keep the catalog and images together if for no other reason than backup is simpler. Just clone you image disk every couple of days and you have a complete usable catalog.

Louie,
So, based on your experience, how would you go about it with a portable (I have a Macbook Pro). I have the application, catalog and previews on the boot drive, images on an eSATA 2TB RAID 0, ALRCache on another eSATA just straight 1TB - (all 7200 RPM / 32MB cache) via Expresscard 34 (which operates at 1.5)..

Where should I store my files?
I just bought my first Mac, a Mac mini. I also have two pc's that I use less and less. I have been storing all of my videos, mp3's, etc. on a 1 tb NAS (dns-321). I was hoping to maintain that system, but it seems from my reading that some Mac programs, (iTunes, iPhoto) almost require the files to be on the Mac mini to work well. It seems I can't point iPhoto to look to my NAS for all of my photos. Is that generally true? I am having difficulties figuring out what where to store my files and then back them up properly. Plug the nas into the mini and then buy a time capsule to back up both? Put a 1tb extra drive in the mini, move all of my files to that and somehow use the nas as a backup device? Ugh! Thanks!
I'm not familiar with iPhoto so I can't help there.
But iTunes libraries don't have to reside on an internal
drive. I personally have all my iTunes library along
with my other multimedia material residing on a 2 TB USB
drive attached to an Airport Extreme Base Station (Apples
wireless router). I also have a second 2 TB drive attached
to it as well for backup.
Now I do know that some NAS drives can be problematic.
You can post in the iTunes forum for more direct help on that.
You may also post in the iPhoto forum as well.
