Change Default Media Location During Installation

Hello Everyone,
I'm currently working on installing iTunes using command lines to push it to multiple computers in the organization I work for. However, we would like to change the default media location to C:/iTunes (as an example) during installation, instead of it being created in \\server\user\music\iTunes (example). We'd like to change it so it's not storing files on the server and not taking up space on people's personal work shares.
I searched other discussions and Google'd it, but I couldn't find a definitive answer.
We use Windows 7 x64 operating system if that needs to be known.

Hmm, no one here has any idea if this can be done?

Change default storage location during creation of PO

Hello all,
I have the following question.
When creating a purchase order using ME21N and filling in the items, the storage location is retreived from the material masterdata and displayed as default.
I need to change this default, because the storage location must be determined in another way.
So when entering the values for the item in the screen, another Stloc needs to be determined and displayed, overwriting the Stloc from the material master data.
For this I probably need a BAPI.
Can anyone tell me which BAPI to use and how I can implement this?
Because I also no experience with BAPI's.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Marco

Hi Van,
You need to goto SE18 -> give 'ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST' in BADI Name - > Click on Enhancement Implementation at the header -> Create -> Give some implementation name starts with 'Z ->provide some short description -> Here you need to click on 'Interface' tab -> and double click on the method which serves your purpose.
I think you need to do the enhancement for storage location so you need to use the method 'PROCESS_ITEM'.

Changing default directory locations

I have Vista RC1 installed on a boot partition of my PC, I have changed the default location of "Documents" to my F: drive. Now I want to be able to change the defult location of "Public" folders, so that the dat ais stored on my G: drive.
I have tried to do this , but when i look at the Properties of Public\Music for example, it will not let me change the location value.
Does anyone know how i can get around this?

How do I change the default drive for downloads and installs to d:\program files or d\program files(x86) in Windows 8? I have installed a ssd boot drive and use it as windows boot and upgrade drive. It's a 300gb drive with 280gb operating space and
95gb free. I don't want programs automatically installing to this drive. I have to keep changing the drive letter during installs (and some installs don't even ask).

Moved media to TC. Now itunes keeps changing default library location

I realize this might be better suited in the iTunes discussion forum however...
I recently purchased a time capsule and moved all my media to the new drive. I changed the default library location in preferences. Problem is, every time I quit and relaunch iTunes, the default library location reverts back to my old location on my mac. Any ideas how I can get iTunes to remember my new default location? It's as if it's picking up a location file somewhere that is telling it to create a new library on my mac's hard drive.
Thanks for any input.

I don't have a TC but I also keep my iTunes library on an external Firewire drive and the following is the behaviour. Maybe it's so for you too:
• When the firewire drive is mounted on the desktop and I open iTunes, iTunes will link back to the library on the firewire drive.
• When the firewire drive is unmounted and I open iTunes, iTunes preferences will revert the library to default back to the internet drive.
• BUT, when I remount the firewire drive, and open iTunes again (after it's been closed), iTunes preferences will automatically go back to linking the library on the firewire drive.
So in short: when unmounted, iTunes links music library to the original default which is the internal drive. When mounted, iTunes will automatically relink music back to the firewire drive.
Does it work like so for iTunes on Time Capsule?

Bouncing - Premiere to Audition to Premiere - How to change default save location from Desktop

When I am bouncing from Premiere to Audition "Edit Clip in Audition", and then apply the effect and save the file, it seems to save the file to the desktop. Is there a way to change this default save location? Can't seem to find it in the preferences.
Didn't even realize it was doing this. Desktop was getting pretty cluttered.

You can paste this command in Terminal
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSDocumentSaveNewDocumentsToCloud -bool false
Or use Mountain Tweaks - click the Mountain Lion tab & it's the sixth item in the left-hand column.
Both will disable the default iCloud save & still let you have access to iCloud if you want it.

How to change default media player setting in Mountain Lion

I right click on the desired media player, then I click on "get info" and another pop up appears,
but there is no "open with" selection! See pic below:
I open the application folder in the Finder window, I highlight the desired media player, I go to the top and
click on File and in the drop down menu, the "open with" is grayed out. Why?
How do I change the default media player setting or better yet, where do I find what is the default player? Help Please!

you need to find the file you are trying to have open with a specific application.
for example, I'm going to use an MP4 file titled cat_adventure video.
here it is in finder
I right click (secondary click) it in finder, and then hold down the option key on my keyboard.
the Open With dialogue should change to "Always Open With" and then you choose your application from the pull out menu when you hover that.
You can make it so all MP4 or whichever file you are using (AVI, MKV, etc) to open with a specific app by right clicking the file choosing get info
The difference here is I'm not selecting the application but a file with the extension of the video format I always want to be opened with a specific application
once in the get info menu I can then select to have the video always open with a certain app.
1.click the open with accordion menu arrow if it is pointing to the left. it should be pointing down.
2.select the application you want to always be associated with that file format
3.select Change All to have that file format always be opened with that Application.
Where this isn't working for you is because you are doing this to the Application itself. you don't do it like that. You need to find the type of file you are trying to open with itunes and then go through these steps.
selecting the application (itunes) instead of the file (mp4, avi, mkv, flv) will not allow you to set what the file format lets you use to play your video.
having said that, itunes is very limited in what it can and can't play. Mainly .mov and mp4's (apples proprietary extensions)

Change default Windows background during deployment

I have a Windows deployment server up and running and deploying custom Windows 7&8 images which all work fine. I want to be able to change the default Windows background to a custom image during deployment so when a new user is created and logs in locally,
my image is displayed rather than the default one. I know this can be done by changing an entry in the registry, but I would like some help in creating a script to do this during deployment and also where this script would have to be placed and how to run
this. I am a noob at scripting and any help would be appreciated! ;)
Thanks in advance

I am using the process documented at the link below in my builds today with a lot of success. In addition to setting the background for every user, it will also allow for setting the colors and accents. Pretty good stuff from the guys at CoreTech.

Is it possible to change the install location during pkgadd

Hi Forum,
I've downloaded several updated applications from sunfreeware.com and would like to install them to /usr/sfw. The package was built to install them to /usr/local. Is there a flag I can use during pkgadd to modify the default install location?
I tried -R /usr/sfw but that sets the "root" location so my install path would end up looking like /usr/sfw/usr/local.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Tim

For instance a binary might be looking for configuration information in a particular path. It could be trying to open /usr/local/var for logging and /usr/local/etc/ for configuration information.
If the package is very flexible, they can prompt for an install location and do the right thing. But that's not something that is easily forced on packages otherwise.
I tried -R /usr/sfw but that sets the "root" location so my install path would end up looking like /usr/sfw/usr/local.Right. It also updates the package databases in an alternate location. You shouldn't use it for normal packages.

Changing default media player

I am just wondering if it were possible to change the default media player on a n73 hand unit.
If possible how?
Also with the n73 default media player, can it play .avi files?
Thankyou in advance.

If by AVI you mean xvid or divx files there are a number of apps out there.
Some people seem to favor Smartmovie. But I've never used ti myself so I cannot recomend it.
Handago.com
my-symbian.com
and other sites have a bunch of video player apps. you can purchase.
Most 3rd party apps will change the MIME types automatically so that when you click on a movie it will play in their video player.
Hope this helsp.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Lightroom keeps changing default import location; how to set it once and for all?

Hi all,
I'm on a mac, and coming from iPhoto. After migrating to Lightroom, I made is so my photos imports from my camera into "/Pictures/LightroomMasters/year/month/day".Now, suddenly, I noticed that they end up in "/Pictures/year/month/day".
I really want Lightroom to keep importing everything inside the "Lightroom Masters"-folder, without me clicking to that location everytime I attach my camera. But going through the Preferences, and Catalouge-settings, I can not find the equivalent of "Default import location". Is there such a setting? Or is Lightroom meant to remember where is imported to last, and keep on using that?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

It seems to remember the folder structure on my system. But I'm running Windows 7. I just tested it by inserting a memory card and importing the images on it, I don't connect cameras to my computer, to my E drive and to a folder named Pictures 2015. I had LR place these images in a sub-folder of that Picture 2015 with the date in the format of 20150201 and which these picture were taken on the 30th of January so the folder was 20150130. I then closed LR and reopened it and took some more shots around the house and then imported those. LR import dialog went right back to that E drive \Pictures 2015 folder and placed those newer images in a folder named 20150201.
So it remembered which drive and which top level folder it was supposed to. Not sure it it would work with a secondary sub-folder under the Pictures 2015 folder.
To be honest I rarely use the import from memory card feature of LR. I don't care for the naming conventions it offers. I do use the Adobe Photo Downloader applet that comes with PS Bridge as the naming convention in that creates sub-folders with just the month and day in this format 0201. I don't need the year tacked on to the front of that sub-folder name, although it can do that, as I store all my images by years to begin with. Then I import to LR from those folders the APD app creates.
If you are using more than one camera it might remember for each camera so from now on it will go back to the right folder.

Changing shortcut location during installation of CS5

Change media path during installation of iTunes

Hello,
I'm trying to re-package the software. This seems to work fine beside some "glitches". One of it is that the media path per default is set to "Music\iTunes" which is - in this environment - included in the roaming part of the profile. So I was asked to "shift" the media path to the local part of the profile (non-roaming). Excluding "Music" from roaming seems to be no option here.
Switching the location to another part of the profile gives me a headache as it's still "variable" (not like D:\iTunes or so). As far as I understood the path is stored in a file called "iTunes Library.itl" and this file seems to be not editable to me. Any idea how to 'tweak' the path into during the installation or may be during first startup of the program without user interaction?
Kind regards
János

The iTunes Library.itl file is the library itself. I believe the location of the active library is stored in:
<AppData>\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml
under the key iTunes Library Location:1 however it is not stored in plain text so you may need to experiment a bit to find out whether you can simply copy over an existing iTunesPrefs.xml file that targets a fixed location like the root of a drive, e.g. D:\iTunes, as part of your distribution (yes, I note that you don't really want a fixed path) or if you can decipher the encoding scheme you could patch the xml file to a provide a customised path. Alternatively you ought to be able to reconfigure the user account such that <User's Music> is stored outside of the roaming profile before iTunes is installed. By default iTunes will create its initial library at <User's Music>\iTunes where it reads <User's Music> from the registry.
Note also that the iTunes library doesn't function properly if placed at the end of a folder redirection, although this can, and probably should, be used to relocate any MobileSync\Backup folder as these too can grow quite large and you probably don't want them as part of a roaming profile, or on an SSD startup drive.

Changing default security policy during install

Hi
I have a requirement to automate the install of oracle 11.2 for training purposes but the new default password policies are causing a few problems.
Does anyone know how to change the default password policy (post-install) to the alternative setting of "Use policy specified in Workspace Password Policy" from within a pl/sql script?
We don't need the strong password policies for the training and after each session the system is re-installed.

Not during install. iTunes folder is always in My Documents but you can tell iTunes to store the media files elsewhere. After library file (.itl) has been created, can even move it to somewhere else.

Changing default save location

In our student labs we need Appleworks to default to SAVE to the Student folder - NOT the documents folder. I cannot find any place to change that setting/preference/location. Lab computers are running Appleworks 6.2.9 and OS 10.4.8.
Thanks, Monica

Hello
You didn't find that because there is no such preference setting.
My own tip is to store blank document or templates in the student folder and ask to the app to save in the source folder.
May you attach the preference file named "com.apple.appleworks.plist" to a mail ans send it to:
koenig then a dot then yvan then an @ then tele2 then a dot then fr
I will be able to compare it to the one available on my machine which default to Desktop.

Changing default Work Center during CATS time entry

Hi Folks,
I am hoping someone here can throw some expert advice.
Currently during time entry in CATS, we have Work Center coming in from the Work Order. Its getting defaulted without any option to change it. Business here has a need to change it. I have llooked into the CATS profile to see if there is a place that enable the WC to be defaulted.
In Transaction CAC1, there is a section that shows what fields are being defaulted during CAT2 time entry. However I do not see the Work Center as one of the option there.
Can any one help?
In short, where do we disable the defaulting of the WC from the Word Order during time entry?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Adding to what Kapil said; if the work centre is a grayed out in time shet screen then you can go to CAC2 transaction and make it editable. By this way users will be able to change the work centre on screen.
Regards
Sreekanth
