Burning files across multiple CDs or DVDs

I have 5GB of files in one folder on 2 DVDs (Can only put 4GB on one DVD) without breaking them apart. Is there a way to do this in OSX? Maybe a script or 3rd party application? Right now I used Stuffit Deluxe to make 4GB archives. Wondering if there is something easier. Thanks.

Yes. If the data you choose to burn will take up more than one disk, spanning is automatically chosen and the interface tells you how many disks you'll need. You have the option to "Avoid splitting files when spanning". A good precautionary option if you're worried about an important file not reading back off a disk it has to cross over to. You end up with as many normal disks as it takes. There's no need to read them back in any particular order as long as you don't let it split files.

Splitting playlist across multiple CDs

Hi there,
according to the itunes help file, it says that when a playlist is too big to burn onto one CD it splits it across multiple CDs. however whenever it completes part of the playlist and then asks for a blank CD, it begins to burn exactly the same thing that it did on the previous one without going onto the remaining songs. is there something that i've set incorrectly?
thanks

Don't trust that feature. Split your big list into separate playlists, making sure that each one is under 80 minutes playing time. Then burn them individually. (I assume it is audio CDs that you are burning.)

How can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans?

I'm sure this simple and a pretty common operation but how can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans? Right now I keep cut, coping and pasting the same source file between multiple projects to re-use the same code. But I could I make this source file a library file or something like that so that I could access it from any project. I assume this would be a generic operation but I mentioned NetBeans for clarity. Thanks.

If anyone wants to be specific about NetBeans I welcome that too.

Create a class library.
Write your code, compile it to .class files, put those class files in a .jar file and include the jar file in the classpath whenever you want to compile a project against it.

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.

Sharing jar files across multiple web sites

Dear all,
We have an applet as part of an embedded device. I wish to share the jar files across multiple devices. i.e. Accessing 192.168.0.1 shouldn't download the jar files again if the same jar files exist in the cache as a result of download from 192.168.0.2. We are having very large applet jar files, hence reducing download times is a top priority. Is there some way to do that ? Will java web start help in this ?
regards,
Jay

generally for avoiding applet downloading again the best solution is to use applet cahing, just add cache_archive in your html code (for full reference please go to the jdk javadoc ). Of course the problem are diffrent ips 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2, applet caching will work ONLY for one ip, when you serv second sever name/diffrent ip client jvm will treat this applet as something new and will download it . The best solution i think is to sever everything on one server page/ip etc, but as you mentioned it is not good solution.
Well you can make it if you want to serve your big jar file on diffrent ips/severs, How? You should ctreate small certified applet jar , inside it should be code that will download your huge jar file from any location you want and store IT on CLIENT machine, becouse that jar will be certified so applet with file functions will not ask user to accept dialogs etc, so that applet will create locall on client machine little cache were all files that were downloaded will be stored. And again when user will acess your page that small certfied jar file will check if cache folder exist and if inside it is your huge file.

Hi,
I have multiple web apps to be deployed to an intranet. I need to have acommon
look and feel for these multiple webapps.
I could place the webapps in a single ear file or deploy them without aear file.
I wanted to know if there is any standard way to include static files likeimages,
javascripts and css files (for a common look and feel) across multiple warfiles.
Right now I am planning to keep a war file which just contains all thestatic
files and point all the jsp pages in the other apps to the static files inthis
common app. Is there a better way to go about this.
Thanks,

Sharing ITunes files across multiple windows user accounts

How do i find and move all files across multiple disks

I just purchased a 2010 Mac Pro and wanted to set it up with a clean install of Mavericks. I installed a new SSD as my boot disk and did a clean install of Mavericks on it. All good so far.
Now from my previous Macs I have several disks (internal and external) that have pictures, music and movies spread all over the place.
I want to know how I can search all of the drives for all of a specific file type (i.e, JPEG or MP3) and then move those files to a new folder. Once I have all of the files of a specific type in a single folder I can create a new library in iPhoto or iTunes using those files.
I tried AraxisFDF and it worked well for finding the files but when it moves the files it saves then in their original file structure (i.e, volume/folder/folder/folder/file) which places the files in multiple folders again.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You can clone the respective HDDs using Disk Utility>Restore or Carbon Copy Cloner. That will guarantee that you have all images and movies backed up.
Ciao

How to use/sync single data (file) across multiple instances of same application

Currently we have an application (a diagram editor), that have the ability to save and load (serialize) its state in a xml file.
Now we want this application to behave like Microsoft OneNote application. Where multiple users have the ability to access the same file.
Later we may also need to enhance with other things like, (1)what is changed and who changed it, (2)option to resolve conflicts if any.
I came to know about sync framework to resolve this. so far, i have not tried it.
All i want is,
Virtually single file should be edited by multiple instances of same application.
We need a dll (sync framework) that does following
It takes complete responsibility of file handling.
Using this dll, each instance of the application will notify their own changes.
Each instance of the application should have the ability to detect the changes that is recently made (when, who, what are the changes).
My question:
Will sync framework be suitable for this requirement?
If so, is there a demo application that represents this?
- Jegan

Seems like I have found the solution.
In the taskflow there is a property named data-control-scope and I set it to isolated instead of the default (shared) and this seemed to do the trick.
I can now have two instances of the same taskflow running with different ApplicationModules
Cheers,
Mark

Splitting System Files Across Multiple Hard Drives

Hey, all:
I was thinking about taking adavantage of Other World Computing's program to add a secondary SSD to my 2010 iMac. My plan was to add a 240GB SSD and copy the System, Application, and Library folders to the SSD. I was planning on leaving the Users folder on the stock HD.
It occured to me that this could possibly confuse the system, as maybe OS X needs to see all four of those folders on the same HD. Is this something I should be worried about, or am I just loopy from being outstide in the cold?
TIA for any help.

Mattand wrote:
Hey, Varjak:
Now I'm wondering if I should just get a SSD big enough to hold everything. I wonder if any speed gains would be negated, as the system would have to bounce back and forth between the regular HD and SSD for the system prefs in the Home folder.
It depends on exactly how the system will be operating, but I'd expect a significant speedup if the OS and applications are on an SSD even if all the user files are on a hard drive. The time to read preference files is negligible, so that shouldn't be a concern, though application support files are a bit more extensive and take a bit longer to access depending on the app. You should still see significant improvement even so, though you might consider keeping your home folder on the SSD and moving just your documents and other data to a hard drive. You may also want to check your iMac's HD and if it's the normal 5400-RPM unit upgrade it to a higher-performing 7200-RPM unit.

How can i share files across multiple user accounts?

I have four user accounts on the same iMac and I'd like to be able to view the files within each account. When I try access one of the other three accounts through Finder, the folders have red minus signs on them. If I try to open one, I get an error message about not have the right authorities. However, I've given all four user accounts administrator access. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. Do I change the rights by opening the folder, clicking "Get Info" and chaning the permissions to "write and read?" If so, I did that. Is there anything else I need to do?

Storing multiple DV files across CDs or DVDs via QTime

Folks,
A couple of weeks ago, I attempted to get an answer to questions I had about storing multiple DV files across multiple DVDs or CDs using Quicktime. I failed to truly get a straight forward answer in non-techno English so having now acquired more info, here - for the non-geeks - is what I've learned in regular human non-geek English:
DVD Rs and CD Rs are pretty much the same thing. You have to check to make sure the drive you have on your computer CAN indeed "write" to these disks. You do that by pulling down the "About this Mac..." in the menu with the Apple icon.
Someone in the Comp Forum on Craigslist posted a terrific list of all the permutations of these types of storage disks with the minor differences between each (ex., DVD-RW vs. DVD+RW - some older machines cannot read one of these and I don't remember which). I can't find link to that post but you can try a search on CL or post there asking that the info be REposted. They're pretty nice there.
I haven't pursued determining whether Quicktime will store the multiple DV files across multiple disks but there is no need to since iMovie will do it. Each "clip" in iMovie is the equivlanet to a DV file so you can just drag each clip onto the icon of your DVD or CD. You'll be prompted for a name, et al.
My 1.5 hours of DV footage required 3.5 DVDs to store.
Each DV file is exactly that - a discrete file of video data similar to one specific MS Word file so - there is no need for any sort of program to sequentially store the files on multiple disks or bring them over FROM multiple disks. You the human do that just like when you store multiple documents on a bunch of disks.
File formats were also confusing to me and not really clearly explained here in regular-speak. The DV cam format that you can shoot in is video uncompressed. DV (file will be called "filename.dv" when it is in DV format) is compressed and there are a whole bunch of different compressed file formats. The MPEG term thrown around refers to the way a particular file of video data is compressed - the "compression scheme" used - i.e., there's MPEG 2, MPEG 4, etc. I don't remember what the acronym MPEG means but it's easy to find that out.
I hope the above is helpful to others like myself (and I already know I'm not alone via my research over the past 2 weeks) who have had a difficult time getting straight answers in understandable language regarding all of this.
I also got solutions to my PDA problem w/Tiger which I posted on the Apple Discussion site here. Getting a solution and answers there was more painful than getting this particular DVD/CD video stuff straightened out but both experiences suggest to me ...are you listening Apple... that the old school of tech writers and HI designers at Apple need to be "reinstalled".

Yes. If the data you choose to burn will take up more than one disk, spanning is automatically chosen and the interface tells you how many disks you'll need. You have the option to "Avoid splitting files when spanning". A good precautionary option if you're worried about an important file not reading back off a disk it has to cross over to. You end up with as many normal disks as it takes. There's no need to read them back in any particular order as long as you don't let it split files.

Burning a Video Across Multiple DVDs Easily?

I have a big compilation of old tapes I imported into an iMovie project. I want to burn the clips onto DVDs readable by DVD players (so MPEG-2), but there are >14 hours of pretty uncompressed video there. I could, of course, chop the movie into parts, but then it's hard to judge how big the pieces should be because the file size on the DVD will be much smaller than my current DV files.
Is there a program or a method to easily burn one big movie file across multiple DVDs by chopping it so each DVD is filled?

You need to edit them properly in iMovie into individual movies of max length 90 minutes or so, then burn each one in iDVD.
The idea of using multiple DVDs for a single 14 hour movie won't work.

Backup across multiple DVD's (Deja Vu and Roxio Toast)

Can anyone suggest software in order to do this? I need to get some information off my internal and external drives to free up some room.
I'm running Deja Vu and they suggest "backing up to Roxio Toast" to do this but I'm not very familiar with this kind of thing and am hoping for a little hand holding.
I guess the deal is that I buy Roxio Toast, install it, select Roxio Toast as my backup volume and it will let me do "manual backups" of this source volume to a set of DVD's whenever I feel like it?
Thanks.

{quote}It is $50 and I am hoping to get advice as to whether this is a good investment or not. {quote}
I think it is a pretty good buy. I used the spanning feature several times and can't say I had any problems with it. It can even split a large file across multiple discs. The software has many other features and works so much better than burning discs in the Finder. Toast has been around for a long time and in my opinion it is still the king. My only gripe is that Roxio seems to be doing yearly upgrades and charging an arm and a leg for minimal new features.

Unable to burn on multiple CDs

I bought an album at the iTunes store and wish to burn it on CD - I click BURN, it checks the playlist, tells me I need multiple audio CDs , I click Audio CDs, and iTunes returns to the previous mode. Never even attempts to start to burn.
running iTunes 8.02
this is the first time I've tried to burn this album
getting frustrated, any suggestions gratefully received

Although iTunes nominally has the capability to burn a long playlist across multiple CDs, the reality is that that feature has never worked reliably. Split your album into individual playlists, each with less than 80 minutes of music, and burn them one at a time.
