Best way to transfer and delete all project related files?

I want to work on a project while at school and home.
1. Is Media Manager the best way to transfer everything I need from one mac to another?
2. Is there an automated way to delete all of my files from capture scratch, etc. on the school mac when I am done transferring everything to my disk? I would like to make sure no one else can access those files, though I do not want to delete anyone else's work.
Thanks.

Go get yourself a big, fast portable firewire drive. Plug it into the school computer. (make sure it is properly formatted first!!!) Navigate to your project's capture scratch folder. Drag the folder to your hard drive. When it's done copying, open as many files as it takes to satisfy you that it has copied successfully.
Then drag any photos, music, narration etc files to the hard drive. Finally, copy your fcp project file to the hard drive.
When you're SURE you've got everything successfully, un mount the firewire drive. Then do all the above again, but this time drag the files on the school computer to the trash and empty the trash.
All this assumes no other twit captured into your folder, but hey what the heck, live and learn.

    My backup plan is to use Time Machine to make a backup to an external disk drive plus I also do a clone of my system disk. So far between the bootable clone and the Time Machine backup this plan has covered all of my needs.

  • Best way to transfer Betacam SP tapes to AVI files?

    What would be the most cost effective way to transfer Betacam SP tapes to AVI files?
    I have a Betacam SP deck, Final Cut, and a Mac Pro.
    I just need to connect the Betacam SP deck to the Mac Pro.
    Thank you in advance for any thoughts.

    +" ... I need to convert these tapes into the best possible, broadcast quality file format ... "+
    If you are doing it yourself, DV is about the only way you can go. There are no A-D converters that I know of that save to Apple Intermediate Codec or ProRes (and you would need FCStudio to do ProRes, anyway - are you using FCExpress or FCPro?).
    Canopus does have a (more expensive) HD series converters - the ADVC-HD50 runs about $650 and converts analog to HDV, but that in turn would need to be converted to Apple Intermediate Codec in order to use it in FCExpress.
    +" ... Everyone (PC heads) has been telling me to go AVI. What would you suggest then? ..."+
    Even pc heads should know better than AVI.
    But what is your intended purpose? Burn to DVD, provide to a TV broadcast, put on a website, upload to YouTube? That would really determine the 'best format'.

  • Deleted all Java-related files from system

    Hello there, community!
    This issue will make me look like a dummy, but here it goes. Basically it is what I did yesterday, I erased all Java-related files from my computer for hideous reasons, now before considering a reinstall, I'd like to know whether there is a solution to this problem. My recovery partition still has Mavericks installed, which is weird, seeing as I am on Yosemite already.
    Basically most apps won't start, and that includes Finder, App Store and every other major app/resource I might need to use for a recovery.
    I tried to re-download Java from Oracle website and JDK, but .dmg files won't run either.
    I'm trying to look for as many solutions as possible before I do a recovery, because again, I don't have a Time Machine, and hope there will be a solution as I have lots of work to finish.
    Any type of help will be welcome!

    Hello EdNKh,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are trying to reinstall Java but cannot get the .dmg to run. With the information you provided in your post, I would suggest using the information in the attached article to reinstall OS X Yosemite. Reinstalling with this information will keep your files and settings intact.

  • Best way to store and access all my media over network?

    With nearly 500GBs of music, movies and TV in my iTunes library, my G5's hard drive is just about full. And since I tend to watch everything on my significantly faster Macbook Pro via Front Row, it means I have to keep my G5 up and running all the time. Which feels like a huge waste of energy.
    So... what's the most efficient way to store and access my media? Here are some ideas off the top of my head. If anyone has any better ideas, please share...
    IDEA 1: BUY A TERABYTE EXTERNAL DRIVE AND CONNECT TO MY AIRPORT EXTREME'S USB PORT.
    Pros...
    1.) No need to keep my G5 up and running all the time, just the router and the external drive connected to it.
    2.) All media stored in one iTunes library which can be accessed by any wireless Mac on my network.
    Cons...
    1.) I have no idea if this would even work.
    2.) Would the USB connection be fast enough to play HD content?
    3.) Would the Extreme's b/g signal be fast enough?
    4.) Would my Macs even recognize an iTunes Library on a USB hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme with no OS of its own?
    5.) Even if it were fast enough, could two separate Macs share the same iTunes library?
    6.) I'd have to lose my wireless printer, which currently occupies the single USB port in my Airport.
    IDEA 2: BUY AN APPLE TIME CAPSULE AND USE ITS INTERNAL DRIVE AS MY ITUNES LIBRARY
    Pros...
    1.) The internal SATA drive will certainly be faster than any external USB drive.
    2.) Get to keep my USB port for wireless printing.
    Cons...
    1.) Still don't know if it would work.
    2.) Would not be able to take advantage of faster 802.11(n) speed, as my G5 tower is b/g only.
    3.) Pricey. $500 for a Time Capsule seems excessive not being able to take advantage of n speed boost.
    IDEA 3: BUY AN APPLE TV
    Pros...
    1.) I could watch HD content on my beautiful 30 inch Apple Cinema Display!
    2.) I could access all my content wirelessly through my network.
    3.) I get to keep my wireless printer wireless.
    Cons...
    1.) I don't own a TV.
    2.) I don't know if Apple TV will even play on my 30 inch Apple Cinema Display.
    3.) I don't know if my Macbook Pro will play files from Apple TV.
    4.) Apple TV doesn't come with a Terabyte hard drive.
    5.) I'm not sure I really understand what Apple TV is. (With a 30 inch Cinema Display, doesn't buying a TV seem redundant?)
    IDEA 4: SELL MY G5, BUY A TIME CAPSULE, AND HOPE NO ONE EVER STEALS MY MACBOOK PRO.
    Pros...
    1.) Can take advantage of that speedy wireless (n) network.
    Cons...
    1.) Still don't know if a wireless iTunes library stored on a router would work.
    2.) What will I do with my 30 inch Apple cinema display?
    3.) No backup computer if something ever goes wrong.

    Perfectly possible:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Back up to the 2TB drie:
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • I got the MSCVR80.ddl message after I tried to do the latest update on Itunes.  I went in and deleted all the related programs and reinstalled, but I keep getting a message during installation that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Help!

    I was trying to do the latest update on my desktop for my Itunes.  I got MSVCR80.dll is missing.  I saw a post about deleting all the apple itunes programs, restarting and reinstalling.  I tried that.  As it was installing a message came up about "Service'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start systems services.  I did a retry, got the same message, then hit ignore.  It went on.  Then a message popped up saying "Itunes not installed correctly"  Error 7 (Windows error 126)
    Now my Itunes program will not open at all.  What gives?  This is very frustrating and I am not very computer literate to begin with.

  • Best way to transfer and organize iTunes library

    I am moving from a Macbook Pro to a Mac Pro. On my Macbook Pro, I recently realized that I had been manually organizing music in folders, and then adding them to iTunes (dragging and dropping), which would copy them to the iTunes folder. A bit redundant.
    On my Mac Pro, I have a specific HDD that I would like to use for iTunes. I have the iTunes folder from my Macbook Pro, as well as another iTunes folder from a different computer. Both have folders have been organized by iTunes, but I am not sure how best to combine them for the sake of neatness.
    I just went into iTunes preferences and changed the media folder location. Should I also check the "copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" box?
    How do I have everything stored on the specified HDD in a single, organized folder, without it copying everything to an iTunes folder in my home folder?

    bump. Anyone know?

  • What is the best way to save and share Captivate software simulation files in Connect?

    File sizes (of 9mb zipped) appear to be causing problems. I've tried to share this short video any number of ways and I have not been successful.

    Thank you. I have tried publishing directly to Connect and many other ways. I was able to upload a ppt converted SWF, so I know I can do it, but I'm not doing something correcly with the simulation, and I'm not sure what. I can add the file to my Content and it appears to want to upload in Connect, but I just get the wait screen and no controls to play the file. I've also aggregated the ppt SWF and the simulation SWF, and it won't recognize this either. I'm close, but I'm just missing something.

    Get a third drive if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, set it not to exclude that drive, and drag the files to it. If you're moving an iTunes or iPhoto library, launch the application with the Option key held down and choose the moved library.

  • I just bought a new Macbook. What's the best way to transfer all my info from the old one?

    Hey everyone! I just got my new retina display Macbook Pro, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer all my music/photos/files/data/etc. from my old Mackbook Pro. I have a 1TB external drive and an 8GB flash drive that I can use if I need to. Any sugestions? Thanks!

    What i did with mine, I cloned the drive of my old macbook to my external drive using carbon copy cloner.
    Once i was done with the clone - i used migration assistant to transfer my apps/data/pictures/files over my new macbook....
    when using migration assistant - do not transfer your old settngs and if you're doing an app transfer, only transfer the ones you need and that you know will work with your Retina...
    good luck..
