Audio location and deleting

Quick question: If I import an audio file into my movie that's located on the desktop (or any location for that matter), can I delete it from desktop and it still be in the movie?
Basically, does iMovie, when you import an audio file, store or copy it into it's own location?
Thanks

PrPro requires that you have the correct channel-count on the existing Audio Track to match your source files. If you do not have such an Audio Track, PrPro will create one for you, if you drag that Clip to the lower portion of the Master Track.
Now, let's say that your Sequence has one 1-channel Audio Track in the default layout (mono), that will be your Audio Track 1, with the 2-channel (stereo) Tracks of the correct number below, and possibly 5.1 Audio Tracks, if you set the default Sequence settings.
On the Track Headers for Audio Tracks, there are little icons, one "speaker" = 1-channel (mono), two "speakers" = 2-channel (stereo) and "5.1" = 6-channel (5.1) Tracks. You can ONLY place an Auido file onto the matching channel-count.
Here is a look at the icons in the Audio Track Headers:
If you wish to move the Audio Tracks around, you can do so via Create Tracks, and locate them, as needed. There is currently no way to click-drag Audio, or Video Tracks, like in many DAW programs.
If you use, say a lot of 1-channel material, you might want to change your default Sequence Tracks setup.
Also note, you can change the name of any Audio, or Video Track, but with Audio, you cannot change the channel-count, once the Track has been creatad - only Delete it.
Good luck,

How do I locate and delete the "other" used space on my Ipod 2 ?

Not only did I get curious about the Autofill button and lose all of my music on my Ipod Nano 2nd Edition but now my Ipod is showing that I have 90% Other stored on it and can't figure out how to locate and delete it! I have looked all over online and nothing seems to work because mine is a different model.. :/ Someone HELP me PLEASE!

You probably have data corruption. You may want to do a Restore, as the simplest fix. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. It will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. All data will be erased, including whatever is taking up space as "Other."

Audio bin and delete

logic 8 - when I select audio in the audio bin and choose delete files - it seems to search ALL drives for many seconds before it deletes.... this should take 1 second - right? How do I fix this?

Sounds like your drives were asleep then - you can alter that in the *Energy Saver* prefpanel.
I don't think the delete function relies solely on the path stated in the bin - I guess it doublechecks the location using some OS X functionalities, that focus on the actual file, not it's path. After all, you can easily rename your disk (or any part of the path, for that matter) in the Finder while still working on a Logic project. It should still find all the right files...
If your disks are not asleep, it would be much faster I guess; they don't have to spin up, no data has to be written or read to RAM or caches, they're 'primed'. But I do guess - so disable sleep mode for your disks and see if that helps any.

How to I locate and delete duplicate documents and files

I am trying to clean up my macbook and want to find and delete duplicate documents and files. How do I do this?

Finding duplicate files is something a lot of people do. I do not understand why Apple hasn't built it as part of Smart Folders? It would have taken a good coder only 1 hour of work to do that!
Pathetic of Apple, really pathetic! A prime example of crippleware!

Audio Location and Video Size

I have two questions:
1. I can't place audio in "audio 1,2 or 3. However, when I drop the video in 1, it works. But it won't drop the audio into one?!? Please help.
2. In the preview window at the top right of the screen, my video I have imported is really small. When I try to make it bigger, it distorts the image. Please help!
Thanks!

How can I locate and delete torrent files from my mac

I recently deleted a bunch of old files from macbook air from a p2p website I use (vuze.com) when I checked back on my hdd it was still full, and loaded with 'other files' which I'm pretty sure are torrents. I'm wondering how I can find these files (because I can't seem to locate them with spotlight) and trash them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For starters... you may already know this, but be sure to empty your trash. You can use something like OmniDiskSweeper (free) to show where most of your space is being taken up. It will list your folders/files in order of size. This will generally make any folder which is excessively large show up right away:

Audio extracted and deleted but short noise remains randomly at edit point

the more I paste over at playhead and extract audio the audio bug occurs at edit point which then cant be deleted (titles or transitions not used)
Can anyone suggest how ot fix this
Cheers
Mike

Hi Sue,
Thanks for your reply.
I have zoomed in on the timeline and the audio files are always completely deleted.
I extract audio a lot when making a programme as I feature interviews with inserts pasted over at playhead. It seems the more I do this the more likleyhood of this audio bug occuring randomly. If you had any workaround ideas they would be much appreciated.
I dont use transitions or titles when this fault occurs

My iPhone 5 claims to have 1.81GB(211 photos) of storage taken by "Photo Library". How do I locate and delete these ghost images to free up my storage space?

Hello. I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now. I just did a factory reset on it for the first time. When I look at storage usage in my iPhone settings, or when I connect my phone to iTunes, it claims that I have 211 Photos taking up 1.81GB of my storage. I'm very confused why because I've deleted every single image I can find. I deleted Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Facebook, etc., assuming that one of these apps was storing these images somewhere. After doing a full factory reset and iCloud backup(excluding photos), I still have the 1.81GB of photos that I just cannot find. I've already tried to delete them through iTunes, unfortunately to no avail. It specifically states there is 211 photos taking up the space. Can anybody help me find these ghost images before I lose my mind??

Copying files works OK, but not moving. It seems like recently(iOS8?), when you try to delete photos from an iPhone that has been mounted you will get a 'permission denied' error. I haven't found a way around this.
I've resorted do manually deleting using one-by-one selections on the iPhone itself. Dropbox carousel is great for this but I don't use Dropbox yet. They other way is to do an iTunes sync and then delete the synced folder contents but that just feels 'weird'. Maybe there's a good App out there for photo management.

How do I locate and delete items on system drive?

I have a 150 gig system drive.
My system drive is down to 6gigs.
I want to determine what is taking up so much space.
I am installed and I'm running; FCS2, Photoshop, Illustrator, Word- and very little else.
My FCP Media is kept on external drives.
I'm not sure why I am down to 6gigs?
How can I determine what is sucking up space?

Hi! WhatSize is a free app to show the folder that are taking up the most space but there's not a Leopard version yet. Have you let the computer run 24/7 to clear the temp files. Usually it's the pict and music files that take up all the space. Tom

Find and delete songs unable to locate

I have a lot of songs in my iTunes that I don't have on my computer anymore. Some are marked with the exclamation point, but others aren't because I haven't tried playing them yet. What is the easiest way to find which songs can't be located and delete them? Thanks!

If it was that simple to do with the hundreds on songs like this littering my library, then I would have done it already instead of posting on here.
Do you have any helpful advice, like the name of program perhaps? I have not been able to find anything through web search. If I had, I wouldn't be turning to this forum to fix a problem I had already solved.

I've created a movie but at the end there is an invisible audio clip that keeps playing. How can I select it and delete it?

Hello everyone,
This is Karie Garnier in British Columbia, Canada.
I'm new to FCPX.
I've created a 20 minute movie, but at the end of the movie, there is an invisible audio clip that keeps playing.
How can a video clip be playing and making sounds, when it doesn't appear in the timeline? and ...
How can I select this invisible audio clip and delete it?

I think you could be right, that it's an old render file that's got stuck.
By the time I finished this movie my 500 GB hard drive was 99.9% full and
FCP started acting wierd, so I suspect you are right.
I have since upgraded my hard drive to one 1000 GBs but when I play the movie the
glitch remains.
Can you please tell me:
a) How can I fix the old render file so that it is no longer stuck? ... and
b) How do I take a screen shot of the timeline?

My hard driver is apparently full - but it is full of "other" files. I have cleared downloads and removed my music and pictures, but it still thinks it is full - how do I access and delete the files?

I am having real trouble with the mac book air and i dont know what to do. It thinks it is full, i get warning messages every day, but when i check how the storage is being used it is 45.79 GB of "other" and I can't work out where to locate and delete these files. I have removed all my music and pictures, there are nearly no documents on the bloody thing, i have cleared the downloads, I have run a cc cleaner programme but nothing seems to touch this "other" amount. Its so annoying as it is getting to a point where i can't use the computer properly anymore. Do you have any clue what it could be or how i can deal with it?
It did this last year but not as bad, i never solved it then i just removed all my own files but now "other" is taking that space too. On a windows computer you would be able to click through and view what was taking up the space but you can't seem to do that on a mac. could it be a virus that makes the hard driver think it is full?
Any ideas what I can do?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
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 reboot. 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. 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 asBackups. 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. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) 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.
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 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 ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the 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
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 (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. 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.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS 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 ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.
