Changing the "Move File" sound in Lion

Hi - So in Snow Leopard, you could custom-change the ugly sound that you hear when you drag and drop a file to a new location.  The solution involved going into the HD, then drilling into a folder called System Sounds and finding and replacing an .aiff sound file called "Volume Mount" with the custom .aiff file you created.  It worked great, except in Lion, there doesn't appear to be such a folder called System Sounds. 
Anyone know how I can duplicate this custom sound file action for Lion?  Thanks!

Hello, James here.
The reason why you can't find the "System Sounds" folder is because Apple have hidden it in a slightly different location in OS X Lion 10.7.x
To get to the directory with the "Volume Mount" file you need to go to...
Macintosh HD > System > Library > Components > CoreAudio (right-click and show package contents) > Contents > SharedSupport > System Sounds > system
Hope this helped!

  • With iMovie 10 how do I change the movie file size and type.

    I have recently upgraded to iMovie 10. It takes some getting used to but I think I will like the new product. After creating my first few movies and trying to upload them to dropbox, it is taking a long time. Comparing the files to ones created in the previous version they are larger, and I need to know how we adjust the file size to the device the movies will be used for. I don't need high resolution files.  It looks like you can change the size in file for share but still a large file and only compatible with Mac and PC others are greyed out. Files are much larger than the files generated in the old version.
    Thanks any help will be appreciated.

    This is one of the areas where the options have been reduced compared to iMovie 9.  If you share to File, you should have Large (540p) and SD (480p) options in addition to the HD ones. 
    I'm not sure exactly which menu it is where you are finding greyed-out options.
    What is the native format of the movie you are saving?
    If you can't share directly into the format you want you should be able to post-process the shared file with a third-party app.

  • How can I change the source file so it is direct from external hard drive?

    I am trying to make a movie on imovie of a snowboarding trip that I went on, there is around 80 to 100 gig of mp4 movies that will not fit on my computer that I have stored on my external harddrive. I had the movie half finished then found I could do no more as I had no space left in my mac. I had to delete everything and start again but I'm not doing this until I can find a way of changing the source file so I can take them direct from my external hard drive as to not use up all my computers available space. I have moved imovie to my external hard drive but it still tries to read from a movie file on my mac, how can I change that so it will read from a source file on my external hard drive, is it possible?? Can someone help me??

    Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
    I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.

  • How do I change the Home file name back to Home?

    Help! - How do I change the Home file name back to Home? My supplier changed it to Demo. I've tried pressing return, control click and Get Info but none gives access to change the name. Any ideas?

    The Home folder isn't named "Home." It is named for the user account it represents.
    Who is your "supplier?" Sounds like they're not terribly bright.
    Can you provide some details on why they "changed" it. Is this a brand new Mac? Were you having information transferred from another computer?
    It sounds like you just need to create a new account and get rid of "Demo."
    While logged into the "Demo" account, go to System Preferences in the Apple Menu.
    Click on Users & Groups
    If the padlock is locked, click on it and enter your password.
    Click the + button at the bottom of the list of users. This will create a new account. Fill in the information you'd like to use for your account. The account name is what will be used for the "Home" folder.
    Once created, select it from the list and check the box to "Allow user to administer this computer."
    You can then log out of "Demo" and log in as your new user. If there is nothing in the Demo account that you want, you can delete it from the Users & Groups System Pref.

    Hi trshaner,
    Thanks again for your complete reaction. I’ve looked at the video and the help-information. This made me decide to leave the file My pictures where it is (C) and move some of the other folders/files to the E-drive. Thanks for your help.

  • Photo Both video (.mov) file size in Lion

    Photo Both in Lion saves videos (.mov) with double the file size of previous versions.  I have verified by looking at a 30 second video created pre-Lion (2.1mb) and a new 30 second video created post-Lion (4.1mb) on the same MacBook Air.  I have seen even more drastic file size increses on a newer MacBook Pro; more that 20mb for a video that used to be under 2mb. 
    There are no settings available in Photo Booth.  And as stated in other threads there is no method in Mail to resize a video, this option is only available for images.  The only functioning workaroud is to open the .mov file in Quicktime and then export for the web.  This is OK, but the beauty of Photobooth and the Mail button within was the ability to just quickly fire off a video.  Opening another app, exporting and then attaching to an email is no longer simple or beautiful.
    Does anyone know why the filesizes have jumped up so drastically?  More importantly, does anyone know how to get the file size of videos created in Photo Booth back under control so they can be emailed more easily?

    UPDATE:  Using any of the effects in photo booth videos greatly reduces the file size.  This seems a bit contrary to what I would expect.  Adding birds flying around my head cuts the video size in half.  Sepia cuts down to 1/3.  Black and white, the one that isnt a suprise, is less that 1/4 the file size of just plain old color.
    Why can't I just have the nice small video files that Photo Booth used to save??

  • Change mono .mov file to stereo (Canon 5D Mark II).

    I recorded a bunch of movie files with my 5D mark II. These all have a good right channel but an empty left channel (mono mic setup) so I only hear audio out of one side.
    What I need is to fix up these video files so that I can deliver them to a person editing so he can drop them on top of the files he has already(since editing is pretty much done). So, I can't just extract the audio and give that to him as separate WAV files or something, I need to insert the audio back into the MOV files. Some clips will have some hiss removal done as well.
    I know Premier OK, but am really new to Soundbooth and Audition and can't figure out how to make it work. I did manage to get Audition to make a .mov file, but it downsampled from 1080p to 720p in doing so (and took forever).
    Any ideas from anyone? Is there a FAQ or how-to I am missing?
    Thanks for any ideas or pointers,
    --greg.

    "Is the other editor using Premiere Pro as well, or something like FCP? Because "fixing" the files in CS5 is not really going to work if the editing is already done, even if you're sticking in CS5. David's suggestion of remapping the audio channels is a good one, but you can't do that with clips that have already been used in a sequence, and it doesn't change anything about the source files--only the way the master clips are interpreted."
    Well, I am just helping out someone working in iMovie. :-) They have edited there movie from about 15-20 5D Mark II videos that have the audio problems I mentioned. The plan is to just replace the .mov files in their iMovie project with the new one with good audio. Hopefully iMovie just references these original .mov files. I don't think it does anything fancier then that, but I am not sure.
    Myself, I have the full CS5 production premium suite. If I was doing the editing it would not be a problem at all, but I am just trying to help out this other person by cleaning up their original files for them.
    Good point about it possibly not working though, I should try one file first and just see if dropping the new video over the top of the old one would work at all.
    Thanks everyone for the help so far, and I will follow up and let you all know how it goes. :-)
    [Note, I have also tried, some time ago, to import the iMovie project into PPro, via the 'export Final Cut XML' iMovie feature, but that seems to be a known bug right now. Well, the latest iMovie outputs a different format of the Final Cut XML it seems]

  • Need some help changing the Home icon name in Lion

    OK, I want to change the home icon name in Lion, I've been following these instructions to enable root user, BUT
    How to enable the root user
    OS X Lion
    From the Apple menu choose System Preferences....
    From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
    Click the lock and authenticate as an administrator account.
    Click Login Options....
    Click the "Edit..." or "Join..." button at the bottom right.

    Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
    Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
    Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu.
    Enter the root password you wish to use in both the Password and Verify fields, then click OK.
    After I get to step 6, the director utility opens... the lock is already unlocked, I click it and it locks, click it again, enter my admin password... but there is no option to "Enable Root User" I only see a list of services "Active Directory", "LDAPv3" & "NIS". I'm lost, and I don't want to screw anything up here! Thanks for the help!

    You're looking in the wrong place. After you click the padlock, forget about that window and go to the menubar, top of your screen where it says

    From the Edit menu choose 'enable root user'

  • When I try to upload a file it goes through the correct proceedure, but does not change the remote file i.e.Index.htm

    Hi
    I have an uploading problem to the server. The problem is when I try to upload a file it goes through the correct proceedure,
    but does not change the remote file i.e.Index.htm, or three stages1.htm.
    My Localroot folder is C:\Gods Plan Web\
    The site map layout is C:\Gods Plan Web\Index.htm
    The folder for the remote site is /public_html/
    Should the local root folder mirror the remote site, i.e./public_html/
    if this is so, what should I put into the
    (a) Local Root Folder box?
    (b) site map layout box?
    The FTP is performing well other than changing the intended file.

    You should be uploading only the contents of your local root to the public_html folder (remote root).
    The index.html you use as your site's home page needs to be in your site root. If you look at your Files window in DW, you should have something like the following...
    Site - Whatever you named your site
         index.html
         images
         pages
              page1.html
              page2.html
    If you have any folder between Site - and the index.html page, like...
    Site - Whatever you named your site
         mywebsite
              index.html
    It will upload to the public_html while still in that folder, so to find your page online, you would need to type something like...
    www.mydomain.com/mywebsite
    public_html should NOT appear within your local files and if it existed there, would cause a redundancy if uploaded. You would need to type www.yourdomain.com/public_html to see the uploaded pages.
    If you could post a screen shot of your expanded Files window while connected to the server (just connect and click the Expand button in Files, don't drill down into any of the directories), we may be able to see the issue.

  • "Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"

    Hello everyone!
    We had a computer crash while we were working on Final Cut Pro and backing up some media to a hard drive.
    Since then, whenever we "capture' video footage and hit the escape key to stop capturing - we get -
    "Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"
    We reinstalled the Final Cut Pro software all over again thinking that maybe the software got corrupted and we also rectified any disk permissions for the hard drives.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You eventually want to figure out how that happened and make sure you fix it.
    Since then, whenever we "capture' video footage and hit the escape key to stop capturing - we get -
    "Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"
    <
    You reformatted the external drive, yes? You might not have used the correct initialization setting. Should be Macintosh HFS, journalling is optional. Or you have a drive formatted for Winderz.
    Aside from incorrect drive formatting, we have seen this error if the capture is incomplete or improperly terminated.
    It's not an FCP issue, it's hardware.

  • "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the movie file could not be opened."

    I'm using Photoshop CS5 extended.
    I've been using that to make gifs. It was fine when I import video frams into layers with the video formats of .mov or .avi. But After I installed OSX 10.6.8, this message comes up everytime I want to import videos: "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the movie file could not be opened."
    So I installed my old OS back which is 10.6.3 but the problem is still there.
    May I know what to do to solve this problem because all along I've been fine with making gifs and importing videos until now.
    Please help, thank you.

    The computer deities may be trying to say something to you.  GIF is not a video format.
    Are you opening video with the same codec that was successfully opened before?

  • How to change the RPD file name without deploying on EM

    Is there a way to change the RPD file name so it doesn't have BI0002 or BI0003 on the end of it? I can delete my BI0002 file and point the NQSConfig.ini file to my new FileName.rpd but when the BI services restart the BI0002 file reappears in the repository directory and the NQSConfig file changes to reflect this. It's like the only way you can change this is in the Enterprise Manager, but that always adds the suffix to the file.
    Any suggestions?
    Here's what the docs say:
    When you upload a repository, it is copied to the local repository directory for each Oracle BI Server component, located at:
    ORACLE_INSTANCE\bifoundation\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obisn\repository
    If you have published the repository in shared mode, then the repository is also copied to the shared network location.
    After the repository is uploaded, it is given a version number suffix (for example, SampleApp_bi001.rpd). This version number is incremented each time that the repository is uploaded. To revert to a previous version, you must re-upload the specific version of the repository to use.
    Note that you can delete older versions from the repository directory or shared network directory to reclaim disk space.
    What does that mean? I have to use an old rpd file in order to get rid of the suffix?

    Hi,
    It can be changed, although I do not no exactly how. You have to take a look at the MBeans which are used to deploy a new repository. The suffixed is used to insure you do not overwrite an existing RPD
    Cheers,

  • How do I change the default file saving type

    I have seen this question all over the web, but none of the answers I have found apply to my version of Photoshop (CS5).
    I want to change the default file type when I save files.  I don't want PSD or PDF, I want PNG.
    I want to hit CTRL + SHIFT + S like normal, but I don't want to select PNG from the drop-down menu when I go to name my items.
    I don't want to create an action for each file I work with - I want this to be a default setting change across all of photoshop on every file.
    Any help?  Adobe has been of zero assistance. 

    I have already tried the "Actions" method - which is glitchy in and of itself!
    What I am doing is very simple - I am making photo slide shows.  I create a new file that is 1920 x 1280 (the size of my display) and then I open 100+ images.  I copy and paste each image into the 1920x1280 file so that all images display the same on my screen when I run the slides.  I re-size and adjust the position of each image so it appears how I want.
    So I copy and paste my first image into the 1920x1280 canvas and then hit F2 (the button I applied the save as PNG action to).  It saves the file.  Then I copy and paste another image into the file and hit F2.  Rather than creating a new file (or even a copy) Photoshop writes over the last file I made.  YAY!  More wasted time!
    It blows my mind that a function as simple as "Change default file type" is missing from such an expensive, accredited program.  How can their software engineers overlook something that hundreds of other people (like me) have posted a need for online?  Something so simple?  Andy why is it my job now to learn how to do scripting for Photoshop to add in a feature that should be standard?  Is that why I pay $50 a month for this software or why I bought CS5 outright for more than $1000?
    So that's what I am trying to do - make a slide show where each image is exactly the same size.  It seems the only option Adobe gives me is "WASTE MORE OF YOUR TIME"

    how do I change the .php file name for a page of my site? The only link to the page is the nav. button link for it in the global nav. The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
