Aperture Mediathek on different drive...

hi, does someone know, how i can move my aperture mediathek from local drive to an external drive? thank you for any seggestions... Erwin

It depends if you have a managed (images are stored inside the library) or referenced (images are stored outside the library) library.
For a managed library do this:
Move the library (.aplibrary file) to the new location and open the library from there.
For a referenced library do this:
Open the library as usual and then relocate the masters to the new location (menu 'File' -> 'Relocate Masters...'). Close the library and move the library (.aplibrary file) itself to the new location. Open the library from the new location.

Want to move aperture library to different drive?

I want to get this right the first time. I did a search and could not find my exact question.
I have my aperture library on an external drive. I want to move it from that external drive to a different external drive. I think I do the following:
1. Tell aperture that my library is now on new external drive (via preferences).
2. Quit aperture.
3. Go to finder and drag aperture library icon from old external drive onto the new one.
4. Start aperture.
Is this correct? Thanks in advance!

Marie,
It's easier than that. Quit Aperture, move the library, and double-click on it when it's in the new location. Aperture will open the library, and will in fact set it as the default library.

Moving Aperture Library to different drive.

Hi
I am looking to move my Library to an external drive to reduce the congestion on my imac 320gig drive.
Could you please let me know the best way to do this, I was going to use finder and just relocate the library and then just restart Aperture and re-link the association to the library.
Is this the correct method for carrying out this activity.
Regards

thanks for the answer, I wanted to keep away from referencing the masters as I want to be able to use the vault back up process. I have just got two new 500gigs to use for this process I am going to use one for the location of the Library and other for the Vault.
That is the plan, when things start to get larger than 500 I have a 1tb drive ready for the library then I will do multiple vaults.

Aperture 3 sees external drive differently when used as network drive

I have an Aperture library with 32000 files. When I started running out of disk space on my Macbook Pro I switch from Managed to Reference. I connected my external drive and Aperture moved the images. When I disconnect the drive, connect it to my iMac, and access the drive via my iMac, Aperture shows all my images as offline. I verified in terminal that the path hasn't changed (/Volumes/MyBook750/).
Is there a way to get Aperture to see the drive without having to use the Locate Referenced Files option every time I switch from external to network share?

The short answer is no there is not. I have a work-around but it is not for the feint of heart (dedicated 10GigE iSCSI network and some direct DB writes) but there is no easy way to deal with it.
If my memory serves this used to work a bit differently in Ap2 where a couple different criteria were used. Now it seems to be directly based on volume UUID even thought the path name is still stored in the DB. Maybe it's just me?

To create a new library on your MBA, launch Aperture while holding down the alt/option key ⌥. From the Pop-up panel select "Other/new" to create a new library.
To merge your new library with the large, external library:
Connect your external drive to your MBA.
Select the large Aperture library on your external drive in the Finder and double-click it to open it in Aperture.
Then use the command "File > Import > Library":Select the library on your MBA to import and when prompted to merge or add, select "Add".

New PC and want to move library to a different drive location from original PC

I've just built my self a new PC and would like to move my iTunes music to my new PC.
I know this is a pretty straight forward thing to do as I have done it on more than one occassion before without any hassle.
It's a little different this time though, I need to move the libary to a different drive from the default location as my C: drive is an SSD and can't fit my entire libary on it.
I've got my iTunes music folder backed up on an external drive, I thought it would just be a case of installing iTunes on my new PC copying my music to the drive I want it on and telling iTunes that this will be my new storage location.
After a bit of playing around I managed to get iTunes to see all my music again.
I'm having trouble getting it to find my cover artwork though and my old ratings and playlist count.
Does anyone know how to restore these?
Also do I have to have 2 iTunes fodlers on the computer? 1 in the stanard C: drive loaction and 1 where I now have all my music. Can I not just have it all on the 2nd drive?
If I copy the 4 libary files from my backup into the new folder it gives me my old ratings and playlist count back but loses all the artwork and most of the files have broken links to them.
Sorry if I've not explained what I am trying to say very clearly, thanks for any help.

In iTunes under Edit > Preferences > Advanced turn off Keep iTunes Media folder organized, then click OK.
Use Edit > Preferences > Advanced to change the media folder location to D:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media, then click OK. If iTunes asks to consolidate or move any files at this point say no or cancel.
Open the menu File > Library > Organize Library... tick Rearrange files in the folder "iTunes Media", and click OK.
In iTunes under Edit > Preferences > Advanced turn on Keep iTunes Media folder organized, then click OK.
Open the menu File > Library > Organize Library... tick Consolidate files, and click OK.
This should rearrange the media folder into the current structure with the minimum amount of physical file moves.
At this stage you should find that iTunes is now looking for your mobile apps at D:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications. Check the properties of a single app just to make sure. If all is well you can reclaim the space on C:.
If it were me at this stage I would now close iTunes, then copy the library files and album artwork folder from wherever they are on C: into D:\Music\iTunes then shift-start-iTunes and choose the library at D:\Music\iTunes. It is at this point that the library is now truly portable.
Having made that work I would then close iTunes, move the iTunes folder up to D:\iTunes and shift-start-iTunes to open it, but that's my preference.

Needs Ability to Configure AutoSave To Different Drive than Scratch

If you edit a large document with limited memory, and are exercising the Photoshop scratch file, a coincidental auto-save can really slow things down because the drive then begins to thrash.
It would be great if the AutoSave could be configured to go to a separate drive than that selected for the Scratch file.
I mentioned this on a recent Connect session, and I'm putting it here as well. I believe it's something Adobe needs to consider by CS6 release time.
On a system with a sufficient number of separate drives at the point where scratch file activity picks up this could make a HUGE difference - between Photoshop usability and UNUSABILITY.
Possible workaround:
Because Adobe has had the good foresight to use a subfolder, it's possible that the auto-save folder could be redirected to another drive through a file system link. I'll be checking into whether this helps the throughput, as I'm not sure how much the link itself being on the same drive as the scratch files could be a bottleneck.
-Noel

I have an SSD dedicated for use as a scratch drive. So far I haven't noticed a performance hit with background save active, but I've yet to get into really intensive processing with large images.
Since there are so many different drive and drive bus limitations, it's hard to say that Photoshop would be less bogged down using different drives for scratch and auto save. You may find a dedicated SSD is a real boon to performance as I have.

Is it possible to share an aperture library with different users using osx server.

is it possible to share an aperture library with different users using osx server.

Not really. You should not be sharing an Aperture library over a network. It's not designed for that and you'll likely corrupt your library at some point.

Import from a different drive

If I want to import a different drive, e.g. my class that is doing the importing is on drive D and the package I need is on class C, what do I type after import?
Thanks :-)

import has nothing to do with actual drives.. Just ensure the classfiles / archive is on classpatha and import those as you would any classfile

How do i move my itunes library to a different drive

i underestimated the space i needed for my itunes library. at the time, i thought 75gb is more than enought for my 60gb ipod, then the videos and movies came along. although i cannot put them on my 4th gen ipod, but i did downloaded a bunch of free tv shows and video podcasts.
i thought i was simply gonna delete some already-viewed files as i push the limit, but then the recycle bin on my ipod specific drive screwed up. i can no longer delete anything off that drive. since the partition i had earlier was kind small for my ipod drive, i think i want to reformat the drive to a different partition.
of course, i need to move my itunes library first. can someone please teach me how to move my itunes library to a different drive? thank you very much.

Upgrade from sqlserver 2008 to sqlserver 2014, can I put software into different drive other than C: ?

Originally my sqlserver 2008 software was installed into E:, but I didn't see any drive selection options available during the upgrade steps, so now my sqlserver 2014 is installed into default C: drive.
If there are any ways to specify different drive ?
Thanks
Sophia Su

“Upon doing the initial upgrade, can I designate the target drive/letter”?
I didn’t see a place to change it in the upgrade process.
I don't want to uninstall sqlserver 2008, I just want to upgrade from 2008 to 2014 and be able to put the sqlserver 2014 software into the same drive (not C:) as my sqlserver 2008 is.
If previous version was on E drive upgraded version should remain on E drive as well. AFAIK there does not comes an option to specify different drive letter when doing in place upgrade how ever if you do side by side upgrade you can install new instance
of 2014 on what ever drive you like
In side by side upgrade you have to first install SQL Server 2014 and then move databases using backup and restore then migrate logins and jobs using scripting method.
After you are sure your upgrade process is complete you can uninstall 2008 instance.
How do you check your SQL Server 2014 is installed on C drive. Please note even if you install SQL server on some other drive(like D,E..) some binaries always go on C drive thet nature is by default , if you are looking at binaries then its wrong to
deduce that your SQL Server is on C drive.
Can you go to E drive can you see program files..Microsoft SQL Server ?
Please also read file location of Installed SQL server Instance

Hello!,
I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how can I install Acrobat Reader in a different drive than just directly in C:. It goes by default there whenever I try to download it from the site, and there's no option anywhere to choose where it will install the program. I need to change the drive cause my C: is too full and dont have much else to delete from it, but have plenty of space in D:. Is it possible somehow to install the program in a different drive than c:? Please help!
Thanks,
Marcus Bale

Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.
