Aperture 3 needs a lot, lot, lot of space ;)

As you can see sometimes Aperture needs a lot of space, to do just update. Can you imagine how much space it will need for whole backup?
+PS: Library size is around 70GB+

I'm getting exactly the same message now - were you able to backup eventually?

Solutions for lots of hard drive space?

Yes, this is a repost from my thread in the getting started forum, but I figured that this board is more heavily populated, and perhaps some professional videographers visit here more frequently to help me out, so I'm posting my question here as well. Here I go:
Hello,
Next spring and summer, I plan to be shooting and editing weddings. The past weddings I've done, I use about 12 tapes. ~200mb/min x 60 mins x 12 tapes is about 144GB. That's about 3 weddings in a single 500GB hard drive (and I plan on doing about 20 in a year). Obviously, I'm going to need a LOT of hard drive space. I don't want to consider entirely deleting the media after finishing a project because it seems common that clients wish to change little bits of the video, so I want to keep them for a while longer.
Right now I have a 500GB HD in a firewire400 enclosure. I don't use the internal Mac HD for media.
What a photographer said that others wedding videographers do and suggested to me was to buy as many HD's needed for the year (approx. so I guess about 7 if 500GB), set a deadline for those whiny clients for returns or re-edits and such, and at the end of the year, and reformat them all and reuse them for the next year.
I'm thinking of doing the same, but using the same enclosure for all my hard drives, just unplugging and plugging as needed.
I've heard of using a RAID system. I can't say I know much about using it but with what I'm using, I don't think it's an option? I am using a 17" 2.33ghz MacBook Pro with Final Cut Pro and I plan on getting an aluminum 24" iMac (probably 2.4ghz unless you can convince me otherwise) as a secondary editing machine, and perhaps to make the dreadful capturing process twice as fast.
So some of my questions are:
* can plugging and unplugging HD's to an external closure possibly damage the pins?
* would storing HD's that are not being used at the moment be safe in those plastic containers that usually come with a HD when you buy one? Or would it be damaging to keep one in there and store it away for a year?
* is this idea okay or would you suggest another method?
* slightly off-topic but sometimes I take my external hard drive, put it in my laptop bag, and do some editing at another location. I know it's supposed to be portable but someone told me that external hard drives aren't meant to be taken around like that. Is that true or am I okay? It's just sitting sideways in the bag while I walk/drive, it's not like I'm hiking a mountain and dropping my bag.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

- I wonder if enclosure manufacturers do special orders of JUST the enclosure without the cables and power adapter? Since I'll likely be buying the same one but plugging one at a time...(maybe one other for another computer)
Not sure if they will or not. Of course, IMO, it is not bad to have an extra Power Adapter and cables (or more), just in case. You would be suprised how things can get misplaced or when you really would like another FW or eSATA cable. You can call some of these places and ask, it nevers hurts. I have had very good experiences with Firewiredirect, OWC/MacSales and Wiebetech, probably worth a customer service IM window with them or call or email. Worst they can say it is not possible.
- Alternatively the Wiebtech SilverSata I enclosure seems pretty convenient and maybe I'll expand it with 6-8 additional trays...but again I may want to use another HD in another computer but I'm sure I can figure a way around that...
If you get a G5 or MacIntel they all use the same drives so if you remove it from a tray you can put it in the computer. I like the SilverSata I because it is relatively small and light and I will often throw a 750gig Drive into a tray when traveling to have a place to capture things and keep copies of photo downloads, audio files for Soundtrack and other files which take up room and a partition for a boot/repair/restore disk for the laptop.

When making a circle, illustrator automaticly makes lots and lots of more circles... How to resolve this problem? Really need quick advice!!

Hi there,
I have used illustrator now for a long period of time. Recently I purchased Adobe CC. Had no problems with it untill now.
It's like this. Whenever I try to make a circle (or, square, line or other forms) Illustrator makes lots and lots of more circles within it.
From the moment I click on the page untill I release my mouse, it keeps making circles. (see enclosed picture)
I have really no idea whatsoever how to undo this. I have used Illiustrator CC before for another project, and it worked fine. Now however, it doesn't.
Can anyone help me out here? I have payed projects to deliver, and I really need this to work really soon...
Thnx for your help!
btw, I work on a PC with Windows 8. (don't really think it's relevant, but still..)

Thnx!
I didn't know that could cause it. Which is actually weird since I've recently bought a new laptop. >,<U
Thnx for your help!

I have a large numbers spreadsheet and I need to delete a lot of blank rows. Can I do this in one lump sum, or do they have to be deleted singularly ?

I have a large numbers spreadsheet that I inherited and I need to delete a lot of rows. Can this be accomplished collectively, or does each row have to be deleted one by one ?

You can delete multiple rows at once.
Hold down the command key and select the rows (which do not have to be contiguous) by clicking the row numbers on the left, then do this:

- If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3. To identify yourd see:
Identifying iPod models
- Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod. Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
new PC: Apple Support Communities
Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Event deactivated need to start a lot of workflows...

Hi,
The event got deactivated in the production environment. Now it has been activated and need to start a lot of workflows. Please suggest me a good way. Note that the workflow did not error out/there was no system crash either.
Thanks.
Sukumar.

Edited by: kishan P on Jul 27, 2011 12:34 PM

Hi Gurus,
I am aware of starting the workflows for a single instance as in SWUE and SWUS. The question was to restart the workflow process. I am also aware that in the case of system crash or in the case of a workflow error, we can start a bunch of workflows, but the scenario was a bit different here. The workflow got deactivated, hence I had to start the workflows which were did not trigger. For now, I have provided the steps needed to prevent automatic dectivation.

Lots and Lots of video tracks...

Hello Ya'all:
Just reporting some bugs/discoveries I made in FCP 5.0.3, when using storage which is almost infinetesimally fast. I know FCP supports a maximum of 99 video tracks, but I wonder how many have actually been tested (realistically): Here's some problems I have when doing lots and lots of video tracks:
Qty. Description
Up to 10 Fine - no problem.
12 Program intermittently crashes with no error, when
sitting idle.
14 The scroll bar on the right side of the video
portion of the timeline stops drawing properly,
but the crashing above goes away.
16 Crashing is back - scroll bar still not operating
properly.
20 Crashing stops, but scroll bar still not drawing
correctly.
24 Same as above.
25 Seem to have hit some sort of maximum, as the
video portion of the timeline header turns red.

I rant for lots of reasons...as does Jim.
I rant when someone with NO CLUE as to the post production process tries to tackle a complex process thinking that FCP is easy. Especially when said people, who previously edited home movies or short films on FCP, suddenly think they can edit broadcast television.
I rant when people think a simple plugin will edit for them, or suddenly make everything ready for broadcast.
I rant when someone assumes that FCP can do something it cannot, and is mad for FCP not being able to do it.
I rant when people don't do their research, buy gear, shoot hours and hours, only to find that it won't work on ANY system...and they blame the system for not working with the new gear, even though the gear came out AFTER the system.
But mainly I rant for the first reason. Too many people think that editing is easy and that they can just buy a G5, monitor, camera and a few books and be ready for Prime Time. No no no. Even Robert Rodriguez, the ultimate film rebel, took a long time to learn what he learned. I have spent a large part of my career learning post production...broadcast standards, specs, color correction, show timing, audio post...not to mention the art of storytelling. And it really gets on my nerves when someone thinks that they can take an Mac Mini and camcorder and edit a broadcast show...and get angry at Apple for things not working properly.
Get the proper tools. Get the proper training. Cut your chops by editing a lot and a lot and a lot. Research everything before you buy and jump into a project with a huge deadline. I am venturing into HD...I start editing next week...I have been researching the topic since July and am STILL testing gear and my workflow.
I am sure there are plenty more reasons I rant, but those are the ones off the top of my head. I just have little patience with people who think that editing is easy and instantaneous. It is hard and time consuming, and if I didn't love it to death I wouldn't do it.

Initial Faces scan skips lots and lots of photos

I have over 5000 photos. My initial scan took about 30 minutes. I thought it was fast, now I realize it was TOO fast - lots and lots, I'd guess over 50%, of photos were skipped.
When I look at the photos, some have boxes around the faces but most do not. It skipped even extremely clear, front view, unobstructed faces.
I took the advice of others here and deleted the "faces" files within the iPhoto package and restarted. Again the scan was really fast but flawed - I saw the same result with lots of photos seemingly skipped.
I verified by taking some photos that had NO face recognized (high quality - closeup, unobstructed front view of a child). I exported them, then re-imported into iPhoto. On importing, it did find all the faces.
This proves to me that the initial scan is FLAWED and skipping photos. If it found a face on re-importing, it should have found a face initially.
I see other people here are seeing the same behavior. Comforting to know that I'm not alone, but VERY frustrating. I don't want to take days and days to draw my own boxes around faces if there's a chance that Apple will release a fix for this.

My initial scan failed (as in not one single face box inserted). I deleted the files and started it over, and it seemed to work okay. No, it didn't get every face, but it did quite a few.
But then I imported a large number of new photos, thinking I should finally consolidate my numerous photo libraries on separate computers... and iPhoto didn't find faces in those either.
It seems like if I import a small number of photos (<200 as an estimate) it does scan them, but any more than that and it screws up.

ASCP: Lot for Lot at item level.

Hi All,
In ASCP plan we can enable lot for lot but do we have the same option at Item-org level.
I don't want ASCP to aggregate the planned orders for some of the items in the plan.
Regards
RS

Sorry - there is no way to selectively disable lot-for-lot for some items.
It is all or none.

Get an error message when importing from iPhoto says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space."

I get an error message when importing from iPhoto that says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space." the drive is empty, I just reformatted it to Mac OSX journaled.

I'm guessing this is an extrenal drive, correct? If so make sure the library you're importimng into is really located on the external drive. By default Aperture creates its library in your home pictures folder.

Please help me! What can I do to stop receiving lots and lots of emails with all participants questions. I tried what was sugested but it didn't work!

What is Lot-for-lot order quantity ?

as im newbie pls explain me in detail,
Thanks

Dear,
Welcome to SDN.
Lot sizing procedure "EX" and "Individual category" to have MRP generate individual planned orders for every requirement requirements.
For example:
Sales Oder A: 8 pieces (May 20, 2009)
Sales Order B: 12 pieces (May 30, 2009)
MRP Result
Planned Order: 08 pieces (May 20, 2009)
Planned Order: 12 pieces (May 30, 2009)
According to SAP: "On Lot-for-Lot Order Quantity; planning is carried out as per required quantity. This means that the system create order proposal proposal for every requirement as per required quanity.
Hope clear to you. As you are new on SDN please rewards the points for every useful reply

Lot for lot(EX) with minimum lot size

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to have Ex with minimum lot size. I have a situation where an FG cannot be produced over a certain qty but can be produced in any numbers beyond that. Please explain.
Regards,
Sachin

Hi,
You can use Lot size key EX- lot for Lot order and Minimum lot size as per the requirement. If the lot size is smaller than the Minimum lot size qty procurement proposals will be created for the minimum lot size quantity.
Hope it resolve your issue. Kindly revert for further clarification.
thanks and regards

My start up disk Macintosh HD is full on my McAir OSX 10.9.4 memory 4GB. I need to clear the disk so that I can update it with the new software IOS 10.9.5 requiring 2.05GB. Need guidance on how to clear space.

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Aperture 3 needs a lot, lot, lot of space ;)
