Can i move a sparsebundle onto my bootcamp HD?

i am in my windows 7 boot camp install and I am trying to move a sparsebundle /off/ a Mac OSX journaled external drive to the Boot Camp drive but I am getting an error that says:
could not find this item. this is no longer located in the G:\Data...your sparsebundle...\bands.
is it not possible to move a sparsebundle like this? I'd like to move it off the drive so I can use the external drive and I have the space on my internal drives...
thanks
background: i moved a sparesebundle to an external drive (from within Disk Utility as I recall) so that I would have a backup when I had to reformat my Time Capsule due to some issue. Now I need the external drive to run a clone to but I'd still like to hang onto this sparsebundle in case I deleted a dumptruck worth of data moving info around and playing with dropox.

Thank you!
What is the reference to HFS +? This is a sparsebundle from a Time Capsule, yes? I mean, is the Time Capsule the HFS + drive you are referring to?
Can you tease this out a bit for me? I mean, the goal here was originally to backup the sparsebundles in case I had to go through the torturous process of accessing them - in the event I realized I was missing tons of data. This actually happened recently and I had to take a ton os studd out of the trash. I have no idea if this happened when I was deciding what to keep on dropbox or how it happened but it was a little scary.
Anyway, I had the macbookpro and the macpro going to the time capsule and eventually it decided it was not happy about this - hence the move of the sparsebundle off the TC onto the external. And now I want the external back.
The External is Mac OS Journaled. The Boot Camp partition is - I guess it is NTFS? I actually didn't format this drive myself.
But - assuming I don't need to access it and that I just want to put it there since I am not using this drive to put data on (its 1 TB and I realized I keep all my data on the 1 TB OSX drive because it is the only thing getting backed up).
Anwyay, didn't I install mac drive to just read and write the Mac Drives /from/ Windows?
I mean, I am booted INTO the boot camp hard drive and I can see the external Mac OS Journaled drive and I can see the sparsebundle - and it shows me that it is going to take like 7 hours to move it over - but i keep getting this error.
I really want to trash it but I think it is a better idea to hang onto it for at least a little while...
Thanks.

Can i move my songs onto memory stick and then back after work on computer is finished

can i move itunes library onto a memory stick while work is being done on computer and then return them after, thanks

Sure... you can backup your data to a memory stick, a USB drive, a NAS, or any other backup source you like.
But do not simply move the songs, grab the ENTIRE iTunes folder so that the iTunesLibrary.itl file is captured as well. Without that file, you essentially start over with playlist, playcounts, and library layout.

you're the man.
for future reference can i please just ask you if there are any restrictions on moving these from mac hd to mac hd in any way? I remember when I had to get it off the TC that I did this through Disk Utility for some reason.
Not that I know of. It will take quite a while, of course, especially over a network.
The complication with copying from a TC via the Finder is, you have to locate it via the Finder by clicking on the Time Capsule in a Finder Sidebar or on your desktop, then double-click the volume to be able to see the sparse bundle. Then you can drag it.
/Also/ can I please ask you if I should /see/ a Time Capsule from a boot camp partition or from a windows virtual machine or even from a laptop on the network?
As I mentioned earlier, I don't do Windoze.
I think you should be able to see the TC itself from any computer on the network, and the HD as well (unless, perhaps, it's protected by a password), but I have no idea how to do that in Windoze.
Perhaps one of our networking gurus will pop in with a better answer . . .

Can you move your system onto a new, larger hard drive?

OK, so I bought a 4 GB RAM upgrade and a 320 GB 7200 rpm hard disk to beef up my Mini. But it has a lot of apps installed and I don't relish the thought of re-installing it all from scratch. So my question is - Can you migrate the entire system onto another, bigger hard drive, realizing that it will go onto a larger disk partition than it came from? Right now I have the 320 GB disk in an external USB case. So can I back everything over to this USB drive and make it bootable and then swap the disks?

OK campers. This is how it went down. I bought an IOGear external eSATA case for the 320 GB drive. After fooling around a bit I finally figured out how to get the drive initialized so it showed up. I then downloaded SuperDuper and backed all files from the old 120 GB over to the new drive. I selected the new drive as startup disk to make sure I could boot from it. Having successfully done that, I went to Other World Computing's site for Mini Upgrades, and played their installation video on my laptop. I followed the video instructions and had the new RAM and hard disk installed in about 20 minutes. One thing they don't use in the video is an anti static wrist strap. I had one and used it. I highly recommend to all attempting this, to get one at Radio Shack. They are a cheap insurance against damaging your Mac with static electricity. All in all, this was an easy upgrade and I am writing this on the "new" Mini, which is running sweet, with lots of 'elbow room'.

Can't move iTunes library onto external drive?

I am trying to clear some space of my MacBook Pro's internal hard drive by moving my iTunes library onto an Mac-formatted external drive. I have followed to the letter the instructions of the Apple document (setting external HD as location of new iTunes library, then selecting Advanced/Consolidate Library).
The process continued for a bit before it crashed and said, "Copying Music failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I had noticed that the error occurred when trying to copy a file that had the "#" symbol in its name. Typically, that character is only a problem with Windows, and I both disks are Mac OS. Nevertheless, I found that the song file in question was a duplicate, so I deleted it and tried again. This time, I got the error message right away!
I have installed all updates, repaired permissions, and can see no reason for this to happen. I have Googled the error message and found a lot of references to this happening when copying to an iPod, but I am moving my library to an external HD.
Please help! My internal HD is running out of space!

That was it! Thanks! During the straight-up copy of the iTunes Music folder, the operation crashed because "some data could not be read or written." Had the iTunes error message been similar, I would have known that was the case.
Currently, I am running an additional copy of the library using the ditto terminal commmand, so I can see a list of all the corrupt song files. So far about 15.
Thanks again!!!!

Can't move some videos onto my ipod

I've taken some episodes of a show of a dvd, using a program called "dvd decrypter" and converted the format to mp4 using "videora ipod converter".
I use itunes to put the episodes onto my ipod, but it won't let me put some of them on and I have no idea why, I use the same process, they're the same format and size as the others, but it just says I can't put them on my ipod because it can't play them.
I even tried using the itunes to convert the files, but that didn't work, something about not being able to read the disc or something.
Can anyone shed some light on my situation?

?Do you have a problem with playback of the video?
The 60i video looks like crap when played back in iPhoto, but look good when played back in Quicktime after i saved all files to a separate folder.

Bought a Iphone 4 S, how can I move the icons onto 1 page?

I tried holding an icon down til they all wiggle, and as I understand you used to be able to move icons from page 2, to page 1 by dragging it to the left, but I am unable to do this. Help please

Try again, that's how you do it assuming there's room on page 1. Really push them over to the side.
If that doesn't work, do a reset.

Can I move only my iTunes movies, not my iTunes music, onto a flash drive? And, is there a program (apart from iTunes) that can play movies on MacBook Air?

I have a MacBook Air and I need to free up space...
1) I have three series of a tv show on my itunes which are taking up loads of memory - see image - I want to move these movie files onto a Flash Drive. However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
2) I have managed to copy the movie files onto the flash drive, however when I tried to play one to check that they were loaded properly it didn't have a program that could run the file (they have copied over in a m4V format). Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
Thank you so much for any answers posted.
Best,
Eloise15.

If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps!

How can i move a vlc movie held on my external drive onto my itunes library (so i can then load it onto my ipad to watch?

how can i move a vlc movie held on my external drive onto my itunes library (so i can then load it onto my ipad to watch?

That is the only logical conclusion. There is an easy solution. On the Mac app store download a free app called smartconverter. It is free. You just drag and drop file into app and it will convert to any file u want. I hope that foxes your issue

HT1449 Can I move my iTunes library onto Time Capsule and share it across my devices (similar to a NAS drive)?

Hi
Would anyone know if I can I move my iTunes library onto Time Capsule and share it across my devices (similar to a NAS drive)?
This would give me some hard drive space on my iMac and more importantly mean my iTunes library is available all the time. Although I have Home sharing I need my iMac on and if not I use iTunes on iCloud I always seem to be downloading the tracks I need.
Current configuration / devices:
iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007 - nearly full!
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
OSX Mavericks
Time Capsule (1TB)
iPad
iPod Touch
Apple TV
iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
Many thanks

What "devices" are these? By devices I normally understand i-devices and not computers. How many computers?
If you put the whole library on the Time Capsule (TC) you can only use it with one computer at a time because the iTunes library file can only be opened by one copy of iTunes at a time. If you put only media on the TC but have a copy of the library files on each computer you can use media by multiple computers but you then have the headache of trying to make sure that any changes done to the collection by one computer are mirrored by the libraries on the other computers which will be more or less independent.
I hope this TC isn't also your backup drive. When the TC drive fails (and it will someday) then your whole collection is gone. Don't rely upon Apple to always have copies for you to download. For one, if a distributor puylls an item then it is gone period. Additionally, Apple only keeps media, not the actual organization that is your set of library files. If you do this, buy another backup drive.

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.
