Changing the location to which iphoto & albums are stored/saved

how do I change the location to which iphoto stores photos and albums including all events rather than my computers hard drive without loosing any information?
thanks

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I'm trying to change the location where my apps etc are stored

I'm trying to change the location where my apps etc are stored, when I close iTunes and reopen, it is automatically reset to the default location

How do you change the location of where your photos are stored?

How do you go about changing the location of where your iPhoto files are housed? I'm running out of space on one drive and want to move them all over to a drive that can house all of the current (and future) photos?

Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How does one change the folder to which scanned images are saved?

Using a CanoScan 9000F Mark II scanner
Using the ScanGear driver software that came with it
Right now every time I scan something, it is automatically saved in "My Documents", and I have to drag and drop the file where I really want it to go. How do I change it so that the file is saved where I want it to go in the first place. Also, it is automatically assigning a file name so that I have to go to the file and change that to what I would like it to be too. How do I make it so that I can name the file before it gets saved. Neither do I see where it gives me the option to choose the format in which the file is saved; it is saving the files automatically as JPG, but I would like to save them as TIFF or BMP.
These seem to be very standard options; so I don't know why I'm finding it so hard. I must be blind or something.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

JSTL Change the order in which children tags are processed

Hi there,
Is there any way one can manipulate the order in which tags are executed/processed within for example an iteration tag? I.e. let's say I have the following:
<m:my_iterate_tag data="data">
<dotag1>XX</dotag1>
<dotag2>YY</dotag2>
</m:my_iterate_tag/>The user can set as a preference in my application that they want <dotag2> to
be displayed/executed first before <dotag1>, e.g. like in a column in a table. How can I change
the order of these tags when I execute the <m:my_iterate_tag>? Do I do it in
<m:my_iterate_tag> or is there another or better way? Please help.
Thanks,
Marius Botha

Okay, lets start with getting the order in which to display columns... So you say:
get the order of these columns from the db (e.g. client
says 1=title, 2=number, don't display "type" column)Based on the DB, then, create a java.util.List that would have the column names in the order they want... (not real code...)
ArrayList columnOrder = ["title", "number"]
When you get to iter_tag:table.doStartBody, then create a java.util.HashMap (lets say) called tableColumnData.
Then in the iter_tag:column tag, you would the value provided in the tag mapped to the property name as the key in the tableColumnData map:
tableColumnData.put("number", <this iteration's number value>);
tableColumnData.put("title", <the value returned from the g:href tag>);
tableColumnData.put("type", <anything>);
Then, in the iter_tag:table.doEndBody, you do a loop, getting the name of the column to display from the columnOrder list, and using that name to pull the value out of the tableColumnData map:
    for (int i = 0; i < columnOrder.size(); i++) {
        out.println("<td>" + tableColumnData.get(columnOrder.get(i)) + "</td>");
    }You would put the columnOrder in a scope where you won't have to relaod it all the time, like maybe the user's session. You would put the tableColumnDataMap to make sure it is unique to the table... either in the pageContext, or store it in the iter_tag and make a method where the nested tags can retrieve it.

Lion has changed the order in which Finder items are sorted in Icon View; Acc vs. Desc. How can you change this order?

The order in which items are sorted has changed in Lion and I can't figure out how, or if, it can be changed. Previously in Snow Leopard if you sorted by 'Date' in Icon View, your icons would be arranged from oldest to newest. The same was true for 'Kind' and all the order sort options. In Kind my *.zip files were positioned last.
Now in Lion, the order is reversed. Newest and Zips on top... the accending vs. decnding order has been changed. How can I change the sort order in Icon View?

I managed to fix the reverse order issue by deleting the com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile in the user library folder. I did have to use terminal to delete the files and then re-launch finder from the force quit window. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
Hold down the option key while selecting the Go menu. Select Library.
Navigate to the Preferences.
Find the com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile and delete it.
Open Terminal (Application/Utilites)
In Terminal type in sudo rm (include a space after the rm and do not hit enter)
Drag com.apple.finder.plist file to the terminal window. It will fill in the path to the file)
Press return.
Type in your password and hit return. (The cursor will not move when you type in your password)
From the Apple menu, select force quit.
Highlight finder and select re-launch.
Be careful when using Terminal. There is no undo button and you can accidentally delete important files.
I hope this helps.

Changing the Management Pack extensions or items are stored in

I think I know the answer to this but I will ask it anyway. Is it possible to change the Management Pack an extension or an object such as a Queue or Subscription is stored in?
Reason I ask is the person that was maintaining SM before me stored every single form extension, subscription, queue and view etc...in the same Management Pack. I really don't like this particular setup and I am sure its not best practice. I plan to break
out all the above and possibly more into separate newly created Management Packs, like a separate one for Views, a separate one for Subscriptions etc.... Is the only solution to delete the existing item and create a new one with the same details including
the display name?

You can, but not as easily as you would like.
Essentially, what you would need to do is split up the the XML by hand, making sure to sort out the DisplayStrings sections to the correct components. Export out the "main" MP, cut out a section of XML that represents the form extension, paste
it into a new file with a new name, add a reference to the new MP to the main MP, and replace all references to that object with MP Aliases to that object's new home. Import both the new MP and the reduced "main" MP back into the database.
there are two problems thou:
Some objects, like projections (used in form extensions created by the authoring too) and class extensions should only ever be stored in sealed MPs, because removing them causes data that reference them to be invalid, i.e. properties defined in class extensions
are lost if that class extension is removed and re-added, and templates that depend on projections are inaccessable if the projection they are based on is lost.
some atomic SDK objects, like workflows, consist of several non-consecutive XML sections, meaning you would need to trace the references and identify which of many <Rule> and <Action> sections belonged with which workflows, and make sure they
would all end up in the same MP.
now you could do this slowly, pulling sections out of the "main" MP and replacing them with references over various nightly downtimes, exporting the "main" MP and carving out a few objects, then importing the trimmed down "main"
MP and the new single use MP until you had something resembling best practice functional isolation (all Change request notification over here, all service request workflows over there, etc), and the hollowed out husk of your "main" MP as a miscellaneous
container, but i think you'll find that you still have to face and deal with data loss and breakage, potentially a lot more trouble then it's worth.
Given that, i would instead propose that you give up on correcting sins of the past, and start doing it right now. start setting up your new MPs and put new thingss into them, and while you're working, anything that you can easily rebuild. Make a plan to
rebuild your templates and form customization. start identifying class extensions you'll have to rebuild, and work up a plan to export data defined by them somewhere (probably powershell and CSV) so you can restore it when the classes are restored.
Like most data hygine problems, there isn't an easy bulk application answer. you just have to look at everything and clean it up as you go. you can mix salt and sugar quite easily. UNmixing them is a lot more work.

Need To change the location in which my projects refer to the media files

I recently capped out my 750 gb hard drive. I didn't think i had that much stuff only to realize that throughout all of my projects i have been using the "Make copies of media" when importing option. now i literally have a copy of every video file on my mac and its taking up so much room. is there anyway to change this option so it refers to the original files instead or is my only real option to redo all my projects?

I dont really follow you in your first two lines but i am using version 10.0.5
Should I update to the latest version. thanks fore the response!
It seems as if you have two copies of the media on your Mac??
You only need one copy of the real media.
It's easy enough to move from one folder to another and re-connect.
If your drive is the system drive it would be wise to employ a dedicated media drive and place all your real media there.
Updating to FCPX 10.1.1 requires two things:
1. Mavericks installed on your Mac.
2. An understanding of how the new Mediai Management system works.
In your case there is a lot to do before updating.
I'd suggest sorting your current issue first.

This might seem minor, but in Screen saver, how do you change the photos from your iPhoto that are those predetermined files on System Preferences?

I am trying to get new photos or images into the files (or whatever they are) on Screensaver that load when you screen saver becomes active. How exactly do you do that?

"If the screen saver doesn’t have an installer, drag it to /Library/Screen Savers at the top level of your internal disk. This makes the screen saver available to all users. If you want it available only to a specific user, drag it to the Library folder in that user’s home folder (the one with the user’s name)." was in the Installing and Uninstalling Screen Savers section.
A quick look around showed me that System (System/Library/Screen Savers) also holds some of the Apple images.

How to change the location of all fotos in the iPhoto library?

my iPhoto 11 library is stored locally on my macbook.
however, my fotos (the actualy bits) are stored externally on a NAS box.
(or in other words: option "Importing: [ ] Copy items to the iPhoto Library" is not checked)
recently i purchased a timecapsule and i now want to move all fotos from the NAS box to the timecapsule.
i am looking for a way to batch-change the location of all fotos from let's say "/Volumes/MyNas/..." to "/Volumes/MyTimecapsule/...".
can this be done? any ideas?
thank you.
ps: i know how to deal with xml and .db/.apdb files. so don't be gentle on me ;-)

Not really unless you search the forums and find the older post describing how to hack the SQLite database to accomplish this
Or use Aperture which can do this easily
However if you are using your Time Capsule as a Time Machine bakcup volume it is not a good place to put your photos - if you do you have no backup of them which means that sooner of later you will lsoe them - and sooner or later TM will fill the volume and make it impossible to add photos

How can I change the order in which photos are presented on an Apple TV?

I am showing photos on my Apple TV via my Apple MacBook, iTunes and Home Sharing.
That all works nicely for me, except that I wish to change the order in which a few photos
are being presented. How can I change the presentation order on the Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You'll need to change the order in iPhoto. Open the album you wish to re-order, manually sort them to the order you want, then use the time and date and batch change options as applicable from the photos menu to retag your photos.

Edited by: user10243788 on Apr 25, 2010 6:12 AMPointing the archive log dest (and/or the FRA) to a new location, or enlarging them, will do no good if you are not performing regular housekeeping on the archivelogs. You will just keep knocking down the same problem over and over.
If you simply delete the archivelogs at the OS level, the database will never know about it and it will continue to think the destination is full, based on records kept in the control file.
For regular housekeeping, you need to be doing something similar to this in rman:
run {
backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times tag='bkup_vlnxora1_arch';
delete noprompt archivelog all backed up 1 times to device type disk;
run {
delete noprompt obsolete;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.
