Collating all related files when finished

Hi all,
When finishing a book, I want to collate all the image files etc, so I can back this up on DVD. Is there a function where it will copy (not move) all files to a location with the InDesign files? (Note: I don't want to move all the linked files from where they are, copying would be best).
I realise this is probably in the help files for InDesign, but I don't know what ID calls it. So, if anyone could help, I'd be grateful!

Package is the way to go for backup, but be sure that all of the files you want backed up are touching the page, bleed, or slug, and that you include stuff that is hidden or non- printing (the primary purpose of packaging is hand off to a service provider, so they normally don't need anything that won't be printed on the page).
You can also use the "copy links to..." command in the links panel menu. This will copy all of the links to the destination you choose and reset the link path in the document to the new location, but won't copy the document as Package does. You can "Undo Copy Links..." afterwards to reset the paths back to what they were and the copies of the linked files will still be where you put them.

Can't save-All-relative files and don't see check_cs5.css under tab index.html

after closing check_cs5.css in the second tutorial I was suppose to get two tabs (source and check_cs5.css) which I could click on (underneath the index.html document tab). I don't see these. I can't get both the Design window AND the check_CS5.css code window. I only get the code for index.html and the design window. For some reason when I was suppose to save "all-relative-files" ... that was grayed out so I "saved ALL". I don't know why that was but it probably had something to do with the problem I just mentioned. This occurred near the end of tutorial 2 of the beginner tutorial.

This post seems to be the contuation of an earlier conversation but I don't know which earlier thread you're referring to.
Which tutorial are you doing?
Was this thread yours or someone totally different?

Sava all related files

Good evening,
The question is: how can i save all my files included images and javascripts in one folder.
I know and see that there is a option sava all related files, but this option is gray (so i cant activate this option)
I guess that this will save exectly what i want or perhaps most of my whises.
But how come that this option is gray and how cant i resolve this problem, so i can use this option?
I hope that some one could help me out with this one, cause i am not the brightest in dreamweaver.
Cause is Indesign you would just activate save as package and done.
Kind regards and already many thanks.

Your question is a bit confusing.
Is it that you have a site with files in various locations within the root, and now you want to save all those files within the same folder? Why? And if you do want to do this, I suppose you want to do it so that the links to the files would still work, right?
In DW's File panel, you could just one-by-one drag and drop all your files into a single folder - that will preserve the linkages between these files.
The save all related files function will only save the files back to the location they were in when you created the link.
But I have a strong suspicion that we are not talking about the same thing....

Keep getting error message about Dynamically-related files when trying to view in "Live" mode

I'm very new to all of this, but I have been following Adobe tutorials to try and get everything working (Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver | Adobe Developer Connection) . The database connection test in this section goes through fine, but then when I go to view the final step, viewing comments.php in "Live View," I get an error across the top. I have played with it a bit, so the error message changes somewhat, but basically it tells me that I have dynamically-related files that can't be loaded. Currently, it is because they can't be resolved, previously, it was because they could not be discovered. (I tried the "Discover" option which failed, after which I resorted to the "Setup" option, in which I changed my root folder from htcdocs to htcsdocs/kitchengallery — where I had all my PHP and site files — and tried again to no avail. So then I changed the settings in MAMP to correspond with the change from htcdocs to htcdocs/kitchengallery. Still no luck).
I am using Dreamweaver CS6.
I'm not sure what information someone might need to help me dig deeper into this issue, but I'm all ears!

Usually this is caused when antivirus "Grabs" the drive to scan it in the background, and/or windows itself "Grabs" the drive for indexing and things. It also happens if you play a song off the ipod thru iTUnes, then stop it.
Usually rebooting will force it to let go

How do I remove Safari including all related files on a Mac?

Hi,
How do I completely remove Safari, including perferences and other related files?
I want to do a fresh re-install of Safari.
I downloaded Safari from the Internet so I got the software to install.
However installing it on top of my old Safari installation does not resolve the specific issue I have with Safari.
In other words, reinstalling doesn't help as the problem carries over in some way.
It's worth nothing that I don't have the issue on any of my other macs. Just on the iMac and I want to get back to a situation where the iMac works as before the issue occured.
Already tried to empty cache and following some other advice that might be causing the issue I have. All to no avail.
So now I want to completely remove Safari so I'm sure nothing caries over from before the re-install.
How to do that?

Removing Safari won't help. and since you've tried reinstalling and that didn't help... try some troubleshooting.
Login to another user account on your Mac. Try Safari there. Same issues there, then it's possible the startup disk needs repairing. Help here. http://support.apple.com/error/503.html?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US
(The support pages are down for a bit but should be up soon). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions at that link when it's available.
If Safari is ok in another account then at least you know it's not a system wide issue.
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Quit Safari if it's open.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Open Safari. If it functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
Next, check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Turn that off if you have any installed, then try Safari.
Next.. try resetting Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

Lost option to upload related files when using testing server.

I used to get a dialogue box when I was previewing files on my local machine using my localhost testing server setup. It was kind of annoying having to click yes every time. Last week I accidentally clicked the don't show this anymore box and now when I preview a site on my localhost related files and updated files are not uploaded. I have to manually upload the css, php, and any other related files to the testing server's folder.
I tried deleting preferences, re-installing Dreamweaver CS4, and everything else I can think of but I can't get this option back. Is there some way, other than using the same folder for the testing server and the site to avoid this problem?
Thanks.

Why do files show in all my files when they have been deleted

In finder > all my files > there are files that have been put in trash yet they show up when I delete them it wants me to fix alias but won't work because the file has been deleted

Have you tried to drag the alias to the desktop?
When you look at an alias, what folder is it stored in? If you highlight it, it should show the information in the path bar at the bottom of the finder window. If the path bar isn't visible, click on View and select show path bar.
You may try to repair permissions using disk utility and see if that helps.

How do I delete images in Finder's "all my Files" when I have the same pictures in a file in Documents? It seems like a lot of duplication. If I delete the individual image it disappears in the folder. Thank You.

How do I delete images in Finder's "all my files" without deleting the images in a separate folder I have in Documents? It seems to be so much duplication. Just set up our new Mac and am not understanding how the files work. Thank you.

All My files is a "search folder"
it isn't real storage location. All files within your home folder are found by the criteria set for the search folder and displayed to you In one place.
If the folder doesn't meet your needs, remove it from the sidebar.

I just lost ALL my files when i updated my ipad 2 to IOS 5.0

I had over 20 GB files including music, apps and most of all tv shows, overall i lost around $300 in content i litterally have had my ipad stripped of all its media is there anyway i can get my stuff back? Or am i just screwed -_-

I lost all my apps/music as well upgrading to 5.0 on an IPAD 2. I synced up to Itunes before upgrading but all those files were lost as well. Fortunately I saved my photos/videos separately on an external hard drive. The rest of the apps, music, in app buys, books, etc were all recoverable as the App store (and others) had a list of everything I had purchased previously and I just had to re-install/load them.

How to configure Mail software to store all related files on the network

I know that Mail software stores all files in Library/Mail under my home directory. Since I have a MacBook Air (with lesser disk space than other Macs), I'm trying to see if I can get the Mail software to read/write files to a network folder instead of Library/Mail. I have done the same with iPhoto in that it looks at the library file from the network and not the local disk. Any ideas of this can be done for the Mail software? Or if this is advisable?

you can do it but I'm not sure if it's advisable. You'd have to test and see how well it works. also, the network drive has to be mounted at all times when you are using Mail, otherwise Mail will crash.
quit Mail. Mount the remote volume. copy the directory homedirectory/Library/Mail to the remote volume and trash the original.
then open terminal and do the following.
type
ln -s
do not press enter yet. press space and drag the copied directory from the remote volume to the terminal window. press space again and type
~/Library
the result should look something like this
ln -s /Volumes/remote-drivename/Mail ~/Library
Press enter in terminal. This will create a symbolic link (it will look like an alias in Finder) to the new location of the Mail folder. Now when you start Mail it should behave normally. In case of problems, quit Mail, delete the symbolic link and move the folder back.

Moving project and scratch files when finished?

Last question I have about this being new to premiere, is people keep telling me to use my internal drive as a scratch disk, I've decided to do so. However, when I finish a project, I want to move them off of there, but I also want the ability to move them back to there if I'm working on a project once again. Therefore I don't want to delete them and have to render new previews or anything else.
Is the best way to move this, to simply go up to project settings, and change the scratch disk location? Can I move the Cache by changing it's location as well instead of deleting it? And then when I want to work on the project a year later, can I open it up and change it back to my internal SSD and move it back and forth? Or is this a bad idea?
The main reason for this is I don't want my hard drive filled up that I have to do other things on, but I don't mind it using it while editing. I also don't want it going into my weekly time machine backups.

OSX 10.10.3, newest version of premiere, Projects go to 4tb USB 3.0 drive, Cache was going to 1tb USB 3.0 drive, then scratch disk was going to 250 SSD external usb 3.0 drive. However, the internal is fast. USB 3.0 read speeds are about 400 and write speeds are about 400 on the SSD. Internal both are around 800.
What I'm thinking about doing is using the internal SSD as a scratch disk as well as running the program. Keep project and cache the way they are. But when I'm done with the project, can I go into project settings, scratch disk and move it to the same drive the project is on? This is not to use it as a scratch disk, but allowing me to keep and store the files and clear the computer internal drive for the next project.
And if I go back a year later and want to work on the same project, put the scratch files back on the internet by going to the options and doing the same thing in reverse? Is this a good or bad idea?
I can't install a second SSD drive internally, as I am working from a MacBook Pro, it has a 750M 2GB GPU. i7 Quad core 2.6 processor. I'm using a thunderbolt display, as the 15" inch is too small for me to color grade correctly seeing both the tools and video.
If it's a big project, I open the macbook and use the macbook screen for my scopes and effects and the 27 inch for the video I'm editing.

Calendar lost all alert files when I upgraded-..

Hello,
I use a LOT of events in Calendar that run either Applescript apps or Automator alarms.
Since I updated to Mavericks, it seems that all of the pointers to the app files are gone.
When I go in to re-establish the links to the files to "open" (Alert->Open File->"other".......)
Sometimes when I click "other", a window will open for me to navigate and select the file. That is how it should work. yay!
Except many times when I click on "other", nothing happens. If I click okay, then the default of Calendar is saved (so when the alarm fires, it opens Calendar). If I click Cancel, the whatever the default alert action (sound.....) is what is saved.
When the alarms that I have been successful about fixing do fire, they work as they should (run the applescript or automator workflow). That is good.
This seems to be specifically a Calendar issue, as most other things are working as they should.
Except a folder action to rename files dropped on it.
But that is for a different thread.
Any assistance or suggestions or insight into how to fix my Calendar would really be appreciated. My entire operation is dependent on the calendar running the Applescript or Automator apps.
Thank you very much!

No help here, but I'm having something similar to this. When I create a new Open File Alert with an Automator Calendar Workflow as the target, the alert vanishes from the event a few seconds after I save it.

Photoshop enlarges all open files when I magnify a file. How can i get it to only magnify one file

When I use the magnifying glass to enlarge my file in photoshop cs3, all of my open files magnify at the same time. I only want one of them to enlarge. This started happening when I bought a new Macbook pro and installed OSX10.6.5. Does anyone know how I can fix it so only the file I am working on enlarges? sometimes I want to compare a smaller file to a larger file and I can no longer do that in Photoshop.

Hello Gtarka,
There is an option on the Zoom tool to "Zoom All Windows". This is just a check mark in the tool options bar, next to the "Resize Windows To Fit" option, directly under the Menu bar. Simply deselect this option.
