Best way to import large CD collection to external NAS drive using iTunes

I am planning to re-import a large CD collection to an external NAS drive with iTunes. Previously I imported using a WAV encoder, but now realize that none of the music was tagged and attempts using a tag from file name script proved unsuccessful.
Can anyone advise me on the best method and codic to do this with iTunes? I was planning to use either AAC or MP3 set at 256 or 320kbps. Both of these encoders, I am being told, will hold the ID3 tag. Any other recommendations on this process is welcomed.
Also, once I have the music imported to the network drive, how do I get the itune library to be recognized on another computer on the network (not the computer that was used to import)?

All of the iTunes compatible formats will accept tags, except for WAV. Most people nowadays use either AAC or MP3 at 256 kb/s. But if your ears and your audio setup require the extra fidelity of a lossless format, go with Apple Lossless or AIFF.
Before you start ripping, go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and set the iTunes Media folder location to the NAS. Then any files that you rip from CD will go straight to the NAS.
Also, once I have the music imported to the network drive, how do I get the itune library to be recognized on another computer on the network (not the computer that was used to import)?
iTunes does not have any folder watching capability. Once the files are on the NAS, you can manually go to another computer's iTunes to add them (File > Add Folder to library) or you can get 3rd party folder watching software such as iTunes Folder Watch.

What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported".

What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported". What does that mean? I am trying to drag libraries (with metadata) to external HD...wondering what the best way to do that is?

Hi Shane. Not much in the way of thoughts - - but fwiw:
How is the drive attached?
Can you open large files on the drive with other programs?
Are you running any drive compression or acceleration programs (some drives arrive with these installed)?
Can you reformat the drive and try again?
Hi Kirby,
I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.
Thanks,
Shane

Best way to Import Rebuilt iPhoto Library from External HD to iMac HD

I recently bought a new iMac and transferred the data from my old Mac to the new one. In doing so - I now want to move my entire iPhoto library from an external hard drive to the new iMac internal hard drive. What is the best way to do this?
I had to rebuild my library with iPhoto Library Manager; so all my photos now reside on the external HD in the Rebuilt Library package. I do want to keep all my events, folder, etc. in tact.
Do I just drag and drop the entire package contents? Or should I use the import function? What is recommended?

Will this help: see MacWorld's online article Possibilities for overcoming Finder Error -36 in OS X .

For this I think you may be better off creating SSIS package from Business Intelligence Development Studio rather than using Export Import wizard. You need to convert the code page of columns from 1252 to 65001 for saving it to UTF 8 file. In SSIS you
can use a derived column task for that.

What's the best way to transfer iphoto pictures to an external hard drive?

Just bought a new LaCie 1.5 Terabyte external hard drive to back-up all my photos. What's the easiest way to copy my iPhoto library?
Also is there a way to copy an entire "event" in iphoto and paste these events into subfolders on my external drive?
I am trying to create a system of subfolders on my hard drive that groups some events together instead of copying my entire library into one folder.
I tried the "drag and drop" way, but found that sometimes when I let go of the mouse button over the appropriate folder they would somehow miss the folder and end up pasted on-top of the folder instead of inside the folder.
Or, am I just wasting my time with the subfolder thing? Is it better to just transfer the entire library to one folder on the external drive? ... since it's only for back-up purposes anyway.
Thanks,

The best way, IMO, is to copy the iPhoto LIbrary package intact to the external HD. That will backup all your photos, edits, books, slideshows, etc.
To keep the backup copy current use a backup application like Synk or Synk Pro which is capable of making incremental backups, i.e. backing up only those new or changed files.

Best way to copy 200GB of photos from external hard drive?

I have come from a PC where my photos are arranged in top folders with numerous folders within them, ie Holiday folder then multiple other folders inside this such as Photos1folder inside sub folder - Holiday inside holiday folder sub folders such as - California, England etc. When I copied the top folder over all the photos came out into the separate folders and now I have just hundreds of folders everywhere? How do I stop this from happening? I am thinking I am going to have to delete all the photos from the imac and reorganise my external hard drive? Help please

If you are using iPhoto try importing the photos.

How do I import wav files from an external hard drive into itunes converting to aac?

I have 270 gig of wav files on an external hard drive. I am having trouble finding a way to import these into itunes while converting to aac

Note that .wav files do not carry a tag. If you import files of the form ..\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name> into iTunes it will fill in the name property as the filename ## <Name> and all other fields will be blank. Assuming there is useful data in the path to capture, use Edit > Preferences > Avanced and disable the Keep... and Copy... options before adding the tracks to iTunes. You can then use the script TagFromFilename to fill in the blanks. Once this information is there you can convert the files to their new format and the converted files will inherit the track details.
You might want to consider initially converting to Apple Lossless which could halve the physical size of the collection with no loss of quality, and permanently embed the tag details. You can then choose to make a downsampled collection while retaining the full quality lossless copies and completely discarding the .wav originals.

Best way to import large 1hr long files from HD camera

I have 4 files all about an hour long to import from HDV camera into fcpx.
When I import them the Transcoding /Analysis and Rendering takes forever.
I left the computer (set to never sleep) and after 24hrs it hadn't moved to even 1%.
Any tips on how to make this process any quicker or at least get started???
What happens if I stop the process to be able to switch the computer off, will this effect anything?
(The only boxes I have ticked are the audio analysis boxes - all three. I haven't got the transcoding boxes ticked...)

First, don't check any boxes on the Import window.
Second, trash FCPX's pref files with "Preference Manager", relaunch, see if that helps.
And yes, what Mac, what GPU, OS version, FCP X version, how much RAM, specs on all of your hard drives, and what specific camera you're using, would help a great deal.

What is the best way of backing up bookmarks to an external hard drive?

I'm helping someone setup a backup routine on their laptop, and would like to include her Firefox bookmarks. With IE, I normally move my favorites folder under My Documents, so when I backup the My Documents folders I always have my favorites. I wasn unable to find a similar ability with Firefox, so I wasn't sure how to go about backup her bookmarks. My preferred option would be do to something similar with Firefox (i.e., move bookmarks), but since that doens't seem feasible, I'd like to know what specific folder I need to add to my backup routine to backup the bookmarks. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response. Let me clarify my question. I want to be able to configure my backup software to access and backup Firefox bookmarks. I would normally do this by telling the backup software which folder to add to the backup. My preference is to use the actual (current) bookmarks, rather than a backup, but if I have to create a backup in order to do this, I guess I'll do that.
Hope this makes sense, but let me know if you have any questions.

What is the easiest way to import my DVD collection in to iTunes 12?

Hi all,
I'd be grateful for advice on the best way to import my DVD collection - all legitimately purchased - in to my iTunes collection. I'm currently running iTunes 12 via a 2013 iMac running OS 10.9.4, on a home network including an Apple TV unit. There seems to be a lot of third party software options available, but I'm not sure which offer the best solution or, indeed, if Apple offers the ability to do this via iTunes itself.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Thanks for that. But do I have to us the external disc, moving it from PC to Mac or is there a better way?. Can you directly connect the systems. I assume wifi is too slow as the size is about 10G

Best way to copy large folders to external drive?

What is the best way to transfer large folders across to external drives?
I'm trying to clean up my internal hard drive and want to copy a folder (including its sub folders) of approx 10GB of video files to an external firewire drive.
I've tried drag and drop in finder (both copy and move) and it gets stuck on a particular file and then aborts the whole process.
1. Surely it should copy everything it can, and simply not copy the problem file.
2. Is there a way I can do copy and verify, a bit like when I burn a disk so I can be sure the video files have transferred safely before I delete them from my internal drive?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.

What you are trying to do makes perfect sense to me and I have done the same prior to getting myself a Time Machine system in place.
1. Surely it should copy everything it can, and simply not copy the problem file.
The fact that it is getting stuck on a particular file suggests that there is a problem with it. Try to identify which one it is and deal with that file on it's own. It could be that there is a disk error where that file is stored.
2. Is there a way I can do copy and verify....
The copy process you are using does that implicitly as I understand it.

What is the best way to import and edit a large amount of footage?

Hello Apple world,
As a newbie to Final Cut 10 I have a question regarding best ways to import footage. I'll give you a quick run down.
I have a 150 gig of gopro footage that I just hit 'import' to recently (from my external HD), it took around 10 hours to process it all.
Its all under one event, but then somewhat organised into dates etc. But it is very slow. I imported it all at once because it was all footage from the last 6 months of my Whistler/states/fiji trip and want to make a movie out of it, using clips from all over the time, not just in chronological order.
I have the latest mac book pro, 4 gig ram,2.4 GHz i7, 750 hard drive, with nothing else on the computer.
Ive read about creating proxy media, after ive imported, but am still somewhat confused as to the benefit. Does it create duplicates? that will fill up my pretty large HD as it is!
Can you suggest any ways that might make my laptop run a bit faster? Should i delete and work directly from external HD etc etc?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I've just finished shooting what I am considering to be my directorial masterpiece. Shot it on the Canon 5D (1080p, 24fps), and the footage looks amazing. Now I am ready to start editing and have been using premiere lately, but I have yet to figure out the proper pipeline. I want to know the best way to retain resolution before I delve into this project.
My questions:
1) What is the best way to start a new project and import the footage without having to render whilst editing, so as to retain all resolution and originality of the source footage?
2) What is the best way/ codec/ format to export this same footage once editing is complete so as to retain that crisp 1080p for which the 5D is so recognized?
3) What is the best way/ codec/ format to import and export/ render between premiere and after effects? I am speaking mostly of vfx and color correction. I also have some 30fps footage that I intend to slow down in AE and then import into premiere.
I know this is pretty broad, but as a solo filmmaker I really need someone's guidance. I rarely ever finish my films with the same, crisp look as the footage. I need pipeline help, and really appreciate it!
1. Follow the advice above. Also use the Media Browser to import the footage in case you have spanned media files. Import files with the Media Browser.
2. It largely depends on what you wish to ouput to: Blu-ray, web, etc. This FAQ gives the best answer: What are the best export settings?
3. Use the Replace with Adobe After Effects Composition function.

Best Way to Import VCR tapes to iMovie

Hello, all.
I have a small problem that I hope somebody can help me with: I currently have an ADS Pyro A/V unit. I was told my the local Apple dealer that would be the best way to import VHS tapes into iMovie. It has worked for a few tapes, but now does nothing except give me a static-greenish-loud-high pitch sound when I try to import a tape.
I have given up on this unit!!!!!!
Can anybody recommend a decent way to import my old VHS movies to my MacBook and into iMovie??
Thanks for your time & input!

I have the same situation as the original poster (VHS tapes I want to edit and store on DVD).
However I don't have a CamCorder.
What I do have is a PVR that I have used to capture the video and I can write that to a DVD. That gives me the base video that I can work on.
However, the files on the DVD have a .VOB file type. I have tried StreamClip but it provides me with a number of options as to the format I can import it into.
Ultimately I want to bring the image into iMovie, edit it and then burn it back onto a DVD. I don't really care if the intermediate files are large, but I am a little concerned about loosing picture quality (which is not great to start with - the original images were on recorded on Super-8 movie film, then 'projected' and recorded onto the VHS tape of which I have a copy. However it is all I have!!!)
What is the best format (and if necessary, tool) to copy the .VOB files to - something that iMovie can use without conversion preferrable - and then write back to a DVD.
Thanks
Susan
(PS in case you haven't gathered, I'm new to all this side of things, but I have time and a strong desire to learn!)

FcpX best way to import photos

What is the best way to import jpegs into Final Cut Pro X? I was told by Apple Tech Support a few years back to import them into IPhoto and access them through IPhoto. Is this still the preferred way to import photos? I'd rather not use IPhoto.

cleporehart wrote:
… To clarify, JPEG for screen is generally acceptable at 72 ppi or dpi because screen resolutions are 72 ppi. For print jpegs need to be higher, 300 dpi or larger. …
ok, that ol' dpi-myth ... :
video has no dots-per-inch - a fullHD screen with 50" has the same1920x1080pix as a tiny 7" fullHD screen.
dpi matters only in PRINT: it's an 'advice' how to interpolate btw two pixels. dots ≠ pixel! Video cares only for pixel, never for 'dots'.-
next …
jpgs usually are highly compressed. too high. if you notice banding in pics, in many cases this is based upon jpg-compression! people use 40Mpix cameras, but squeeze the data into tiny 250k files ...
max res of video is 1920x1080; additional pixels only needed when applying re-framing (crop, Ken Bruns etc); dpi can be set to 500 or 7 - no difference; if you like to get that last 0.01% of extra quality, convert your raws to tiff or png. or jpg in 'best'/100% ...
iPhoto is - imho - only 'needed' as a very handy data-base.
FCPX has/is a data-base too - I like all my 'footage' in my Events; not elsewhere. But this is no general advice.

Hi, Please help. I accidentally deleted my entire Iphoto Library. I used Stellar Phoenix 4.1 and I do believe that I recovered all. I recovered to "My Passport" for Mac External HD. Files are all mixed up, best way to import back?

Hi, a couple days ago, I was orgainizing my Iphoto libray. Then, I thought that I was emptying my trash on Iphoto. (the ones I deleted when orgainizing) after hitting are you sure button, I realized that it was 209 files with 18,000+ photos. So I frantically stopped iphoto from "saving critical information" thinking If I left it open I could copy all my files over to (I beleive somewhere in finder under pictures?) I thought, but it most have been under the applications folder. Well this is where I really messed up. So after saving every file to that section, and everything was normal again on iphoto, I decided to make space and delete them from where I put them. So instead of selecting each file indivually, I used the select ALL button. Only to find that it deleted EVERYTHING. Iphoto (the file) was apparently at the bottom of the page along with Nikon Transfer, Lightroom 2 and god knows what else. That is when I found a data recovery software program (Stellar Phoenix 4.1mac) 17 hours later it found 159GB. I read enough to know that I HAD to go and buy an external HD. (even though I already own Time Capsule, but I never hooked it up ) was confused about if I could actually use that for this matter so, I just went and bought My Passport an external HD for Mac. Plugged it in, and recovered what looks like all my files (hopefully) did also read enough that I knew NOT to use my computer after this occured.
Now that you all know how I got into this mess, I would like to know the best way to import the files back? Ok I know this sounds easy, but all the files are scattered everywhere on the HD. Is there a way to put them back on my Mac Book Pro that would possibly put them in some kind of order? Date? Image file number? Anything? 18,000 photos to reorgainze is going to be brutal. I can reinstall Lightroom 2, if i can locate where I put the disk. And I also have CS5. Also wondering if the quality of the photo was affected? I did get them back, so I am not complaining but any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Will be turning on Time Machine and hooking up Time Capsule as well. Should I also use my new HD along with capsule? Any advice on that matter would also be greatly appreciated as well!!!!!
Thanks, Michelle
