Changing save location when Share to iDVD

When I create slideshows and then choose to "Share to iDVD," the resulting movies are always filed in my Movies folder. I prefer them to be saved to my external hard drive, to conserve my disk space. How can I change this save location?
Thanks, Tonia

Tonia:
After they have been shared and imported to iDVD move them to the external where you want and delete from the Movies folder. The next time you launch iDVD it will tell you it can't find the files and ask you to locate them. Navigate to the external and select them. You'll be back in business as usual.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Why IPHOTO album will not keep the template format when share to IDVD.

    Why IPHOTO album will not keep the template format when share to IDVD. Also, could be better if IPHOTO Album could access "inspector tool" with ability to change the slide duration time and apply a random "Transitions" to specific slide.

    Are you sharing an album of photos or a slideshow to iDVD?  If it's an album then what you get in iDVD is just a slideshow with the photos in it where you have to set the transition and slide timing unless you add music and select fit to audio.
    Don't know what you mean by the template format unless you're referring to the themes in a slideshow? If you share a slideshow the ss is converted to a Quicktime movie file and that is added to the iDVD menu window.  No changes are possible.

  • Change library location when iTunes does not manage the library?

    There must be an easier way to do this...
    I keep all our music files on an external NAS so it can be shared by my Sonos system and also sync via iTunes to various iDevices by my wife and I.  In this situation it is not desirable to have iTunes organize the folders or copy the music to it's own folder.  Using Windows 7 iTunes, I use the File | Add Folder to Library dialog to add music to iTunes, simply pointing this dialog at the NAS folder where the files are stored.  This creates a few problems.
    1) When new music is added to the NAS folder, iTunes doesn't have the brains to re-scan the folder at start-up to see what has changed.  Instead I have to use the File | Add Folder to Library dialog again, choosing the same folder as before.  An annoyance.
    2) When I do the procedure described in #1, ALL new files since the last scan get a check mark and are added to the iDevice sync.  That is also undesirable as I may add lectures or music that my wife doesn't want on her iPhone, or vice-versa.  One is forced to hunt through the entire library looking for items that she or I don't want synced.
    3) I need to change the location of the music file storage.  BIG PROBLEM.  I can't figure out how to move the file location and have iTunes still honor the selected (and non-selected) file choices.
    There must be a better way around all of this.  I saw one suggestion to do a global search and replace on the file location in the iTunes Music Library.xml file using a text editor.  Is iTunes really that backward?  Any help appreciated.

    Use iTunes Folder Watch or make sure the designated iTunes Media folder is a folder on the NAS and drop new content into <Media Folder>\Automatically Add to iTunes.
    Tunes Folder Watch includes an option not to check newly added songs (or rather it actually unchecks them) however checkmarks are a poor organizing tool. Use a combination of one or more regular & smart playlists to determine what should go on the device. That way you can still listen to albums that aren't scheduled to sync.
    Exactly what do you want to change? Normally I'd suggest you make your split library portable, however running an iTunes library database from a NAS is generally not a good move. It may be necessary to do so temporarily in order to relocate the media folder, after which the library files can be copied back to an internal drive for performance. Alternatively you can move files around using my script ConsolidateByMoving, assuming you're not also trying to preserve an esoteric folder structure of your own. Or, it there is room to copy, then delete, instead of moving, then you can use the iTunes "consolidate" feature.
    Editing the XML and "breaking" the library to force a rebuild from the XML is not the way to go.

    You posted in the OS 9 & below forum. Your profile shows MacBook, Mac OS 9.0.x, LAPTOP 6 YEARS OLD. Then you state you are using Firefox version 3.6.23.
    MacBooks can't run OS 9. The Firefox version requires OS X. Can you clarify what Mac you have and what OS it's running?

  • Changing Export Location when using Publish Services to Hard Drive?

    Hi,
    I am aware that typically when using publish services it is not possible to change the export location once it has been set. This has put me in a very precarious situation; let me explain.
    I work for a distribution company that sells 15+ product lines. For almost every product, they have a photograph. I was asked to set up a system whereby a number of sales representatives could access these photographs in an organized fashion from their own computers. This is how I have set things up: A media computer (backed up onto an external hard drive) has all the raw files. In lightroom I have set up two publish services to hard drive. The export location for these two publish services was an external drive that was accessible throughout the company network. Unfortunately, while I was gone, the external drive was changed over to a cloud-based system. As such, the export location for my publish services no longer exists.
    Of course, I could go and re-create the publish services, but unfortunately that would be an incredibly laborious process because each publish service has 10 or so sets with 2-4 levels of folders amounting to several hundred folders that would need to be re-created. Moreover, because of the complexity of the system, I made them all smart-folders with specified attributes, etc. So re-creating all these folders would take a whole lot of time and could literally drive a guy crazy (I would know, I set the thing up and it did almost drive me crazy!)
    So, I was wondering if there is any lightroom wiz out there who knows a work-around for my issue.
    Now, I did do some digging already and I came across this article: http://blog.27shutterclicks.com/2012/03/how-to-change-the-publish-service-export-location- in-lightroom-3-4/    which outlines a method for changing the export location! However, as far as I can tell, I would still have to change the export location of each folder manually, which would basically be just as complex and confusing as recreating the publish service anyways. Am I correct in this thinking, or using this method is there a "root" folder than I can change, which will change every other folder?
    Hopefully I have outlined this clearly enough. I will really appreciate any response! Thanks and have a good day.

    Yes, it is not possible to change the export location for a Publish service.
    But it is possible to set up another Publish Service with a different location.
    Under <Publish Services> right-click the header bar where it says "Hard Drive: .... " and select <Create Another Publish Service via Hard Drive>.
    See screen shot:
    In the editor that comes up select the "cloud" as location.

  • Media Cache issue-how to change save location?

    I have CS5 Master Collection on a Win7 Pro 64
    bit PC. The C: (System) drive is on an SSD 64 Gb d
    rive. My problem seems to be that when working on a project in PPro CS5, the folder that Premiere creates to store Media Cache files is located on the Sytstem Drive (C:) But because my C: drive is a small capacity (64 Gb), it starts to get dangerously 'full' very soon. I've installed the CS5 programs on another drive, and I do know about saving the project on another drive and also choosing Scratch locations on a media drive, but I can't figure out how to get Media Cache files to save to a drive other than my C: drive. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. I did search for about half an hour on these forums and didn't find anything relating to my specific issue. Thank you, Vern

    Harm, your pagefile info was extremely helpful to me and easy to follow . 
    With regards to Media Cache and using your Four Disk Setup Recommendation, do you suggest your Media Cache "Files" and Media Cache "Database" be stored on the same drive, just different Folders?
    Do you prefer to Check or Uncheck box "save Media Cache Files next to Originals when ever posslibe"?
    Best Regards,
    Frank Hahn

  • Illustrator crashes when using save as and changing the save location yosemite OS

  • Can you change the iDVD default save location in the Documents folder?

    This may be a stupid question, but I've looked through the preferences and searched through the forums and online in general, but it seems like that's such a basic function and I can't find anything on it!

    For new projects when you go to same you should see the save window which, if you expand it, will allow you to save anywhere you would like. For existing projects you can do a save as and use the Save as window to change the location. The screenshot is typical of a Save As or Save window:

  • How do I change the pre-filled file location when I choose Save As?

    16 September 2013
    Using Windows 7 Home Edition and Firefox 24.0
    I always want Firefox to offer a location when I download stuff. At the moment it fills the Save As file location with a location I never use and it is the same one every time, and I don't know how to stop this from happening. How can I teach Firefox to fill the Save As location with another file location, for example Desktop?
    NB This is absolutely not about setting the default under
    Tools/Options/General/Downloads/Save Files To...
    although everyone automatically assumes it is.
    Background: After using Firefox for a few months on my Windows 7 machine, I then imported old Firefox settings from a VISTA machine.

    You may want to reset the prefs file, it should show the last place you saved a page from.

  • Power view in SharePoint - Changing the default save location?

    Is it possible to change the default location when saving Power view back into SharePoint?
    Our users are creating their own power view reports by clicking a power view shared data source in SharePoint document library.
    When saving their reports, the default location is always the same location where the data source is. This is described here also:
    https://support.office.microsoft.com/en-us/article/Power-View-in-SharePoint-Server-Create-save-and-print-reports-f616575e-02bf-46cd-b94a-b744245ef9d1?CorrelationId=a852221e-b063-4020-a20a-53d8e8fb8b8b&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
    Quote from the link: "The first time you save the

  • 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.

  • Want to change the default save location- users have networked home dirs

    I am doing some work for a school which is still using iMovie HD because it allows them to save their movie projects wherever they want. The issue is that iMovie 08 and 09 do not allow you to change the location in which they save their movies. Currently all users/students have network home folders, so their home directory, documents, etc all pull across the network. All students are limited to 1GB of space, and the system is an older G4 Server- 2GHz with 1GB of RAM and 2x 500GB hard drives. Since the students can make some large projects transferring that data back and forth can kill the server. Currently they are staying with iMovie HD so they can save it to the local hard drive, and when the student comes back in for class they sit at the same machine- thus giving them access to their stored movie files.
    This summer they plan to upgrade both Xserves, but again internal storage in the Xserve is a joke and in my opinion not planned out properly. Which might require them to use one of the Apple Promise RAID units- major financial burden on a school.
    I wanted to see if there was a way to change the default save location for iMovie 08 or 09 to the local storage rather then the "Home" folder for each user.
    Thanks so much!

    wrong info.
    iM08/09 has a different file concept than iMHD6.
    Both versions allow to store Events (=huge files) 'anywhere' to usb or firewire connected, hfs(+) formatted harddrives. the Project files (=small files) can be de-located from 'internal' drive with vers09, for 08 you have to use a socalled symLink to de-locate Project files.

  • SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save location for Word/Excel 2013 not working

    So this is a strange one. I've got an SBS 2011 server that's the only domain controller in the org. I've created a GPO to change the default save location for Excel 2013 and Word 2013 using the Office 2013 ADMX files which were installed to the PolicyDefinitions
    folder.
    The GPO (U-Office2013 Default Save Location) only contains:
    1. User Configuration - Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
    2. User Configuration - Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Locations - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
    The GPO is linked at the OU that contains my users for my SBS organization.
    When I do a gpupdate /force on a windows 7 system with office2013 installed, and then run a gpresult/rsop, the policy appears to be applied successfully as it lists my GPO under the Applied GPOs list on the workstation:
    Applied GPOs
    Default Domain Policy dyndns.local AD (24), Sysvol (24)
    U-Office2013 Default Save Location domain.local/SBSusers AD (6), Sysvol (6)
    In the gpresult report, the applied settings appear under:
    Administrative Templates
    Extra Registry Settings
    software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\excel\options\defaultpath Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
    software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\doc-path Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
    BUT, when I go to the workstation, and check office->options-Save-default file path, the path has not been changed to what the GPO is pushing.
    The strange thing is that in my test environment running 2008R2 server and Win7 with Office 2013 and identical settings the default save location is applied and works as expected.
    Any ideas?
    I've already tried re-installing the ADMX templates and re-created the GPO's several times.
    I should also note that other GPO's on the SBS2011 server such as the folder redirection GPO work as expected on the same windows 7 system. It just appears to be an issue with the default save location in office2013 and other Office 2013 related GPOs which
    utilize the recently added ADMX template that don't seem to be working for me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Justin,
    Thanks for your reply. I have tried several different user accounts (all have local admin privileges to the workstation) with the same issue. The default save path does not get applied from the GPO to any of the users i've tried. Here's the steps I took
    per your suggestion:
    1. log on as a user who has never logged onto the workstation before.
    2. run gpupdate /force (entered y for yes when prompted to log off).
    3. Log back in as the user and open Office and check the default save path. It has not been changed to match the GPO setting.
    4. Check rsop to see if the policy was applied. Rsop states the gpo was applied successfully.
    I have attached the gpsvc.log file from a the session described above. The GPO Guid in question is: {DC3C93EC-7C28-48E9-BA38-FCA1E275A207}. Its common name is: U-Word 2013 Default Save Location. It's only setting is:
