Can I store my Dreamweaver site definitions on an external drive?

I just purchased 2 brand new iMacs (one for office and one for home) to replace my old MacBook Pro. I am now moving all of my client files to an extranal hard drive so that I can share the same exact files in both locations. I just realized it won't be that easy with Dreamweaver because of the site definitions, which are stored locally on the computer.
Is there a way for me to move and store site definitions of the external hard drive. If so, can you provide detailed instructions on how to do this. I am paranoid about losing important data!
I am also assuming that Dreamweaver looks in a specific place for site definitions, so I'll need to 'train' it to look on my external hard drive to find them (if that's even possible).
Thank you SO much, in advance!
Jackie

I think the OP was wondering if there could just be a single location that held the site definitions andnthat both computers would read when DW was launched on either machine to populate the site list.
Just clarifying the question, but that can't be done so Nancy's instructions are what needs to be done. Each computer will maintain it's own list of defs, but being able to export and import makes it a little easier. Part of my workflow when setting up a site involves making an immediate export of the site def in a location that is being backed up. I also keep another secure file of FTP info as an added layer - just because there was ne particular web host that included special characters in the UserID, which did not retain in the site definition. I don't mind having to do this, but I wish you could export the entire list and not have to do one at a time.

Dreamweaver - Site Definition - Erweiterte Einstellungen nicht verfügbar

Hi
Wenn ich bei einer bestehenden Site auf Site - Site verwalten gehe, erscheint das Dialogfenster Sites verwalten. Die Site ist im Auswahlfenster ersichtich, ich aktiviere sie und wähle Bearbeiten. Im folgenden Dialogfenster Site-Definition für ABCSite ist im linken Abschnitt die erste Auswahl aktiviert, d.h. grau hinterlegt. Die Einträge für Site-Name und Lokaler Site-Ordner sind korrekt angezeigt.
Um das Verzeichnis auf dem Remote Server zu ändern möchte ich mit der Maus im linken Teil des Fensters Erweiterte Einstellungen auswählen. Diese Auswahl lässt sich mit der Maus jedoch nicht aktivieren, auch mit der Tastatur kommt man nicht auf diese Auswahl. Die übrigen Auswahlen im linken Teil Server und Versionskotrolle können ebenfalls nicht ausgewählt werden. Nebst der Auswahl des lokalen Site-Ordners und des Site-Namens kann ich einzig Hilfe, Speichern und Abbrechen aktivieren.
Ich habe Dreamweaver CS5 Version 11, Build 4909 installiert. Ich habe Dreamweaver neu installiert, was das Problem jedoch leider nicht behoben hat.
Hat jemand eine Idee, was hier zu machen sei? Herzlichen Dank im voraus für die Unterstützung.
Roland

Hallo Hans-Günter
Danke für den Tipp. Ich habe die Deutsche Anfrage in den internationalen Foren publiziert und in English in Dreamweaver.
Viele Grüsse

I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

Can I copy and store Aperture 3.5 library on an external drive ExFAT?

Hi
Can I copy and store Aperture 3.5 library on an external drive ExFAT?

No, as Allan Eckert said. Storing your library on and external drive is no problem, but it requires MacOS Extended (Journaled):
You may want to have a look a these support documents:
Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
and
Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3509?
The same goes for iPhoto Libraries:

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

I have an iMac about a year old. It has OSX 10.8.3 with iMovie 9.0.8. Is there a way to get iMovie to store and use iMovie Events on an external drive? Raw video is eating up my 1TB internal drive.

Yes, you can import to an external drive by choosing it from the Import Screen.
Once an Event or Project is in iMovie, it is best to move it to the external using iMovie, so the Project does not lose links to the Event.
For full instructions on how to do this, see this link.

Easy way, CLONE IT to another HD
HD cloning software options:
1. SuperDuper HD cloning software APP (free)
2. Carbon Copy Cloner APP (will copy the recovery partition as well)
3. Disk utility HD bootable clone.

BAD IDEA
You want one backup (ie Time machine) and one (or more) data archive of just all your raw files (drag and drop, or cloned etc.)

Is it better to store iMovies, iPhoto or iTunes on an external drive? I'm running out of space.

Is it better to store iMovies, iPhoto or iTunes on an external drive? I'm running out of space.

Movies for obvious reasons. Photo libraries can get extra large too. When that happens, you have to decide if all your metadata is worth losing, or if you want to keep the entire Pictures folder on a couple external hard drives on their own. Remember, you should never have less than two copies of your data at all times (meaning just before erasing anything, you'll have at least three temporarily). You can always switch the active library with an iPhoto rebuild. command-option keys held down when you startup iPhoto. That lets you pick the Library XML file in the Pictures folder in question out of the Users folder.

How can I download my iMac iTunes library to an external drive and reload the library to iTunes on a PC?

Hi Niel. Can you be move specific for those of us not tech savy? 1 - Can you provide steps to back up the library? 2 - How do you organize the library? 3 - When you move the entire iTunes folder, does it include iTunes paid for music along with downloaded music from CDs? Thanks

It's confirmed, H.e.l.l. has finally frozen over! TM drives are now bootable!
Still it's not a real bootable clone, can't run the computer off the external drive for long in only Recovery mode, still requires the boot drive to be replaced if it not functional, and with TM backing up every hour, isn't going to offer much software protection as the TM drive is just as likely to be as messed up as the internal boot drive.
For a iMac it still requires the computer to be taken in to Apple for a drive replacement, as ONLY Apple can do it due to proprietary connections and firmware on the iMac hard drives.
But it is bootable!
The backup time factor can be controlled using TimeMachine Editor, from every hour to just when the user thinks it's necessary.
Apple lurches slightly forward! Hurray!
Question is, can one restore from earlier stable TM's or just the last one? In this bootable fashion?

Dreamweaver site definition backup

Hi there,
Very straightforward question.
I look after loads of site, IE. have got loads for site
connection
information within Dreamweaver. Sometimes I need to reload my
system... you
know the deal, system problems etc.
Is there a file/s that I can backup so I can preserve all the
site
definition information?
Big thanks,
@ndyB

Nice one.
Thanks,
@ndyB

Can I store iPhoto and iTunes libraries on an external hard disk?

I have a Mac Book Pro with Retina Display that I bought new in late 2014.
It has 250GB of storage but apparently I am already running out of space already.
I want to know if I can store my iTunes and iPhoto libraries on an external drive to help free up space.
Also, when I get the breakdown of space used on my internal storage, it shows "photos, audio, movies," etc and how much each category takes up. But for some reason "Other" takes up nearly half of my hard drive. Is there a way I can find out what "Other" files I have that I might be able to delete to reduce the size on my internal disk?

1. Yes. Drag the libraries there, launch the applications with the Option key held down, and choose those libraries; the iPhoto one needs to be stored on a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended.
2. Click here for information. If desired, run a tool such as GrandPerspective.

Can I store my photos, music and films on external harddrive and backup everything to time capsule?

Hi
I have just bought my very first mac this week. I have the iphone 4 already but have been used to using windows my whole life.
I have purchased:
21.5inch iMac 2011
2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i5
4GB RAM
500GB Harddrive
Latest version of Lion OS
Its only been a couple of days and already I dont know how I ever lived without it.
The predicament Im in is this: I want to use apple Tv to stream my music, photos and films to my TV in the living room. But I would also like to store all of this on an external harddrive, rather than filling up my internals with it then not having enough room for anything else.
Can I store my films, music, photo's etc on an external harddrive and still stream to apple tv? Does it need to be a specific external harddrive? And whats the best way to back everything up? Would a 2TB Time Capsule backup my mac and everything on my external harddrive?
Sorry for all the questions, Im very new to this and dont know much about harddrives.
Thanks in advance..
Gem

Yes. However, it gets more complicated. Time Machine is better for archival backup, and typically requires twice the space for the data as the original. Streaming from external drives while possible can get laggy on video unless you use Firewire or Thunderbolt. If you have any old 802.11b or 802.11g devices, you'll want to keep them on a separate network. A better investment is a couple external hard drives for backup and one for any excess stuff that won't fit on your main 500 GB drive, and to use cloning software instead. When you need archival backup, burn to CD or DVD that is prepackaged in jewelcases. See my FAQ* on good media and backup http://www.macmaps.com/cdrfailure.html
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
When backing up make sure nothing else is happening on the machine from your end.

How can I merge two iPhoto libraries stored on an external drive?

Today I was in a One-to-One at the Apple Store. I want to merge two i-Photo libraries into one. One library is on my Air, the other is on my iMac. Both libraries have been moved to an external drive. When I try to move one onto the other, they won't go. Yet I am certain that while at the store today, the person there started to merge them. He did not need the library manager software in order to do so. We stopped the merge in order to move on to another issue. Now that I am home, I can't get the libraries to merge. What am I failing to do? Thanks!

The only way to merge two libraryies is to use iPhoto Library Manager which will merge two libraries and keep keywords, titles, faces, places, and other metadata intact.
If one imports one library into another library every image file in the first library, originals, thumbnails, face files, etc, get imported as an original photo. You will end up with a total mess. DO NOT IMPORT ONE LIBRARY INTO ANOTHER LIBRARY!
If you have backup copies of your libraries get them back and use iPhoto Library Manager to merge them.

Can I use Time Capsule to serve as an external drive with two different iMacs?

I want to be able to set up Time Capsule to serve as a backup drive for my iMac, as well as my wife's iMac.
So that we don't have to use two seperate back-up drives on each computer.
Is this possible?

The following quote is from: https://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/
Have multiple Mac computers in your home or office? AirPort Time Capsule can back up and store files for each Mac on your wireless network. No longer do you have to attach an external drive to each Mac every time you want to back up. AirPort Time Capsule spares you the work. Your computers are always backed up — automatically and wirelessly.
