Copy SDK project folders

I've been making copies of some of the example programs and modifying them for
different learning exercises. I make a duplicate of the whole folder then rename it.
But when I launch the program in the iPhone simulator it keeps the old program name and just rewrites the old one. I tried renaming the app target name and that didn't fix the problem. I tried renaming the executable file name and that didn't solve this either.
Anyone know what's the best way to copy a project and have a completely different project to show up in the simulator?
Thanks

There's no support in Xcode for changing the name of a project, so a complete change is time consuming. As you'll see, the project name gets into places you never wanted to know about.
Here's a procedure I posted last year for a complete make over: [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8616624&#8616624].
My procedure is intended to cover every detail since I needed to change the name of an app that was already in the store. I don't think you'll need to cover all those bases just to rename your test projects. I'd recommend doing the whole procedure one time just to see that it works, then decide which changes don't matter to you.

HT200183 If I wanted to include apple loops in the assets of Logic project folders that are part of a tutorial available for download on a paid educational website would that be ok?

If I wanted to include apple loops in the assets of Logic project folders that are part of a song that follows a tutorial available for download on a paid educational website would that be ok? No one would be paying for the file itself that's part of the membership. I don't want to get into any copyright problems. I understand that they are royalty free and you can include them in your music no problem but the individual loops would be in the audio folder if I saved all the assets to the project file.
Also, would it be ok to include screen shots I take myself of apple programs in my downloadable content?
Just trying to figure out exactly how I should go about it to avoid any legal issues.

My gut reaction is that you may well run into © issues if you re-distribute the original AppleLoops.If your customers are paying for the training, they are also paying for the content you provide, so I feel that you would be re-selling the loops.
Given that anyone who has a copy of Logic would likely have installed all the loop content, there should be no need to distribute them with the project files. Alternatively, make your own loops.

Keeping Synced Backup of Library - In Project Folders

Can't find a way to do this online - probably because I can't think of the right way to get any sensible results from a search.
Basically, I have my Aperture library which is ~100GB (which is already backed up in a couple of places). I also want JPEG versions of everything in my library so I can keep a copy online (ideally via iDisk, part of MobileMe - but I can do that as a separate step if necessary), and want photos kept in their project folders.
Any ideas how I can do that? Looks like i'll need a plugin or automator to do it, but there may be a function I've missed somewhere. Seems like it should be simple enough, but I'm struggling (bearing in mind I don't want a complete re-export each time, just export whatever was updated since the last export)...

Hi christian,
For future reference, backup the entire iPhoto Library folder. You need all the data files in there for it to work correctly.
For your situation now, there is no way to relink originals with the modified versions.
You can manually go through the modified folder and see if you want the modified version of a photo instead of the original. If you do, drag the modified version into the same roll in the Originals folder and it will replace the original as they have the same name.
Then create a new library and import just the Originals folder.

Organizing for stock library. Projects, folders or albums?

This may have been talked about to death, but I cannot find a thread that fits my question.
I have a growing library of images in Aperture. I am also a stock photographer by living. My library in Aperture is somewhat haphazard and I'm trying to organize it so that I can have it make sense. I do not sell my photos as stock myself (I submit to several agencies) so I'm not sure that I need to file my images so that I can get to them if a client needs a shot. That's what the agencies are for.
My work flow is something like this:
1 - shoot pix
2 - import and edit (read: delete) images in Aperture
3 - prepare and submit images to agencies
4 - next....
I do find myself taking pix of many of the same subjects, so I do want to organize them in Aperture.
My main question is, what is the best, or most efficient, way to organize major subjects in the library, with Projects, Folders, or Albums?
For instance, I shoot a production with models. That could be a project titled " August 14 production." When the submission is done, i could archive the entire project to save space. But, suppose I want to keep some around to submit to a different agency. Is a project the best way to store this?
Also, I find myself shooting a lot of NYC landmarks. Should each landmark be in its own project, or have it be an album in a project called NYC, or should it be a project in a folder called NYC?
I'm really not sure what the most efficient filing method is for my business.
Any discussion and/or advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

gustavus:
n attempting to relocate a folder it did not end up where intended and I cannot find it.
I hope you are referring to doing the relocation from within iPhoto and not in the Finder and the library package. Any moving, renaming of files and/or folder inside the iPhoto Library Package while in the Finder is tantamount to the cardinal sin of iPhoto, Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. That will mess up your library to where you may have to start over with a new library.
Can you describe where these folders and albums were located when you were moving them?
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

FC Events & Projects folders on external HD, and some clips missing.

Hello there,
Searched for an answer, but nothing seems to be exactly my experience.
To help my MBP perform better, I moved my FCP X "events" & "projects" folders to an external LaCie HD. Folks here say they should be at the "root". Unsure how to check that, but I do know they are at the lowest level of folder on the drive, with no other folders above them.
Most clips show up in all the projects when FCP X is opened. But some don't; modifying event references with Inspector leads to the event not showing up at all, so I can't even move it to the top.
Then tried to "import from camera" and open the LaCie drive as an archive. But when clicking on the proper event folder, the message appears, ""Intrvw-WendyEllen_20Jun11" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
Original media files on HD are all still there from when I first imported into FCP X. Now the same files are duplicated in the FCP X "events" folder, which also got moved to the external HD. Choosing either folder gets the same message.
According to the manual, the yellow alert triangle showing in the timeline means the event is missing.
<complaint> FCP X isn't very intuitive or user friendly on directing it to see the proper files. If something is missing, why can't I just pick where FCP should look for those files? Why can't I recreate a new path to those files, of the original one was broken? I'm not keen on the Events & Projects folders _having_ to be _set in stone_ on the MBP's harddrive. Where those files lie should be a choice.</complaint>
My system is 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM w/ Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Please let me know what I'm missing that FCP can no longer find the proper files. I'm sure it's something super easy, too obvious to figure out. In fact, if there's a way to ditch the "events' folder altogether & just have FCP X pull/render from the external HD files all the time, I'd love to learn that solution.
Thanks in advance!

You are correct about root ... no other folders above the FCP X folders is the way it's supposed to be. I noticed that FCP X can get confused if you first opened up or created a project with the Final Cut Pro folders on your system drive then you try to make a copy of them on an external drive. That is what I did at first also. I would recommend moving your system drive Final Cut Pro X folders to a safe backup drive such as usb, etc then ejecting that drive. Make sure they no longer exist on the system drive. Then go to your external drive where you first copied them to and go into the Final Cut Projects folder. Then go into a folder that has the name of your project, or if you created "Folders" in FCP X to put your projects in then go into the folder that has the name of the folder you created within FCP X. Within one of those will be a folder named after your project name you had assigned it in FCP X. Inside that will be a file called CurrentVersion.fcpproject. Double click on that file, and Final Cut Project X will open with that project. In your Project Library window on the lower half of the display, over against the left you will see Macintosh HD, or whatever your system drive is called. Under that will be the name of your external drive. Indented to the right slightly under your external drive will be the name of the project you have just loaded. Just keep working in that one from now on without moving the old FCP X folders backing onto the system drive. If you get some clips that are red meaning that FCP X can no longer find them, copy them from your original system drive or the Final Cut Events folder to the event name you had placed them in when you imported them into your project. You can also simply find them and re-import them into FCP X and be done with it. It has been my observation that you do not want to have two Final Cut Project or Events (or any of the other) FCP X folders on two drives that are active at the same time. Best practice is to leave them off your system drive and put them on an external Firewire drive. If you need to make a backup of them periodically, put a usb drive or another Firewire drive on your system WITHOUT GOING INTO FINAL CUT PRO X, and use Finder to simply copy the folders to the other drives as a backup ... then eject the backups. You can then continue working in FCP X. Sounds detailed, but the bottom line is FCP X does not seem to like two FCP X file systems on two attached drives at the same time. At least that's the way it has seemed in my experience. Hope this helps.

Organizing project folders

Hi
While developing large Flex projects, I often find myself wanting to organize the project folders so that everything is neat and logical.
One of my main concerns in doing so was that the bin-release folder had only whatever necessary items there were to run the project, and nothing extra. Therefore, I found I should place any assets loaded at compile time NOT in the src folder, but in a separate folder somewhere outside the src (any non-code files in src or subfolders seem to be exported in the bin-release).
This raised one minor issue: Whenever I embed something into my code, using @Embed directives, I need to specifiy the location starting with "../", as to get out of the default src folder. I really hate this, for one it reminds me I could always use "../../" to look for stuff even outside the whole project folder, which is ugly to do; plus I think "../" is bad practice in any code and should always be worked around.
What I would prefer is a way to mark folders as being part of the compile-time library path, but not to be exported in the bin-release. Is there such an option in Flash Builder? I needn't mention I prefer not to delete the assets from the bin-release folder myself.
Thanks,
Liviu

asuch:
Terence may have a good idea there about replacing the alias files with the original "source" files. I'd do it for one small roll first to see if it will work satisfactorily. If so then proceed folder by folder, checking as you go along.
The fact that the source file does not get deleted when you delete in iPhoto is one of the caveats of that system. One way to find and delete the source file before deleting from iPhoto is to Control-click on the thumbnail and select Show File or Show Original File if it's been edited. That will take you to that file already selected in the Finder and all you'll need to do is type CommandShiftDelete to move it to the Trash. Then go back to iPhoto and delete it from the library.
I suppose an Applescript could be written to do that from iPhoto. If you want to keep the alias system ask in the Applescript forum if anyone has one or can write one.
If you keep that system you might get some helpful tips from my Tutorials that I've written. The are primarily for converting to one but there may be something that will be of interest.

Moving Project Folders

Good Day-
Does anyone move project folders around or is it recommended to leave them in the Music>Logic folder?
I read:
+Copying or Moving a Project Folder+
+A project folder can be freely moved or copied to another location by using any of the+
+standard operating system methods. This is great for archiving and transport of+
+projects to other studios or facilities.+
+All files in the target (copy) folder will still be found correctly, provided that they are all+
+in the root (or sub-folders of ) the project folder—audio files are found in the Audio+
+Files sub-folder, samples in the Samples sub-folder, sampler instruments in the Sampler+
+Instruments sub-folder, and so on.+
Yet...if I drag a project folder from Music>Logic to my desktop, the audio and MIDI files of the project will not be able to be found upon opening that project from the desktop. The subfiles still appear to be rooted in the main project folder. For now I'm certainly not moving any more projects around, but I should be able to correct?
Thanks!
j

OK.
If I want to save a newly created project to the desktop instead of the Logic folder, then I could save as, or save a copy as, check the appropriate boxes to include files etc. and choose desktop. Would I need to group files in the audio bin and consolidate first before this saving, or after I've saved when I open it next?
Thank you-

AP crash - can't open/copy/backup project

Hi,
got a disaster here:
Aperture crash while I was making selections. I was able to open Aperture once, all it did was recovering smart albums, but it would not show any files at all. The project has all masterfiles included. I tried to copy the whole project to another harddrive - but it just stops. I had to pul the power plug on the HD to get at least the finder back.
I believe that there is a corrupt file inside the package. How can I find it? What else can I do? I have not tried to open the project again - would like to get a backup first.
I did all "normal fixes" like repair permissions and repair disk - there were no problems.
One more hint, when I try to copy the project to another Harddrive I'm not able to eject the harddrive - I have to pul the plug to get at least the finder back.
Any ideas?? Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Chances are low but you might get lucky.
If the projects were originally in the Home/Movies/iMovie Projects and Home/Movies/iMovie Events respectively on the other Mac, there is a chance you could move them to the corresponding folders on your Mac and they might work. At that point, you could use iMovie to move them where you like. If they used photos or music in the project, they would probably be missing,

Lost the Project Folders

Recently I did a reformat of my hard drive and reinstall of XP SP2.
After the reinstall of Encore 2.0 (E2) I find that the project folders are all missing. What I have is a series of files with the format xxx.ncor where xxx is the project name. Altho E2 shows the listing of the 8 or so projects when I try to open them it says "Can't find the Project Folder".
My couple of recent tests do generate a project folder with subfolders Cache & Sources. I do not remember folders like that before. Is there some setting that would have changed that process?
My real problem is that I would like to reuse some of the prior menus but can't find them anywhere. Is there any way to recover them from the existing ncor files?
Thanks for any advice!

Prior to the reformatting, did you do a full backup of that drive, say Ghost, or similar? Encore builds several folders, per Project in the target folder. These are searched for, when you go to load a Project. If you have the backup, copy all of these folders to the appropriate folders on the drive. All should work fine from there.
If you did not make a backup, about the only hope (and it is all "hope") would be to use something like Stellar Phoenix NTFS to recover the folders, should there still be a trace of them, after the reformatting. Last resort would be to try an "unformat" of the drive, with the appropriate software, and hope (there's that word again), that you'll find them. Otherwise, this is an expensive lesson (time wise) learned, as you'll have to start each Project from scratch.
If you do try either the recovery, or unformat route, do NOT add anything, except the necessary SW to the drive. If it were my situation, I'd pick up a new drive, set it up with the OS, and the recovery SW only, wire your old drive as D:\ (whatever), boot from your new C:\ and run the utilities. You may get lucky, but probably not. Anyway, one can always use extra HDD space with NLEs, so it will not be a total waste, to get the new HDD.
Good luck,
Hunt

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

How to copy a project from MBP to Mac Pro without media

Explanation:
Our Director takes all the video interviews, imports this media into a Mac Book Pro (FCP X 10.1.1), creates a Project, makes his audio selects, and edits the video onto the timeline. Then he copies the Project to a portable hard drive.
In the meantime, we have imported all the media into our main edit station, a Mac Pro. Now we plug in the portable drive, open that Library, and copy the Project with the video interview selects to our main Event with all the media on the Mac Pro.
The problem is ... the media of the interview selects is also copied. Then we have duplicate media in our Event. With the previous version of FCP X, we could copy over the timeline without media, then reconnect it.
Any solutions? A better way?
Thank you.

Hi Cliff,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
For your particular workflow to be successful, the media needs to be stored outside the Library (External Media). It is important that the media that is being shared is identical on all drives or computers. The resource below will provide additional information and best practices for working with media in the new Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 environment. See Page 4 regarding Managed vs. External Media.
Managing Media with Final Cut Pro X Libraries
www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/docs/Media_Management.pdf
Managed and External Media
Media that you import into a specific library is stored inside the library and is referred to as managed media. Media can also be imported or copied to any location on a connected volume and linked to the library as external media. Multiple users can access this external media instantly on shared storage, including a storage area network (SAN) such as Xsan, Apple’s SAN file system.
Page 16-18 includes suggested workflows for collaborating with other editors. The Transfer Library option on page 18 may work well for your particular situation:
To hand off new events to a working library using a transfer library
Another way to hand off new events to a working library on shared storage is to create an intermediate library, or “transfer” library. For example, an assistant editor can create a transfer library containing new events to be handed off to the primary editor, and then copy the new events from the transfer library to the primary editor’s working library.
1. On the system you want to transfer from, select the events you want to hand off.
2. Choose File > Copy Events to Library > New Library.
3. In the window that appears, type a name for the new library, navigate to a location for the new library, and click Save.
4. If you want to include optimized or proxy media in the new transfer library, select the appropriate checkboxes in the window that appears, and click OK.
5. In the Libraries list, select the newly created library and choose File > Close Library.
6. On the destination system, open the new transfer library by choosing File > Open Library > [library name], and drag the updated events to the working library.
Note: Motion templates are not managed as assets within the library but are instead stored in ~/Movies/Motion Templates/. If a project is dependent on custom titles or other Motion templates, these must be handed off separately. Placing updated Motion templates in a central location on shared storage as a last step in any handoff process guarantees that all editors working on a project can access the templates at any time.
I hope this information helps ….

I use a browser application called Changepoint...a project time recording tool. It does not navigate to the project folders or interact at all using Firefox, only IE. What do I need to ask the tech team to troubleshoot why it doesn't work with Firefox?

See question. I'm assuming that I or them are missing something with the handshake once the basic appl is launched. The Changepoint appl does launch in the browser...it just doesn't function when you get into it, e.g. clicking on a hyperlink on the screen doesn't launch a sub-appl/module to show project folders. It doesn't crash the browser or window, it just doesn't do anything.

Check with Changepoint support and ask if that application is made to be compatible with Firefox, and which versions of Firefox it has been tested with.

How can i copy multiple projects that reference one event without having to duplicate the event over and over for each project?

Each project has compound and regular media in them, and every time i attempt to duplicate the projects and have them reference one event on the new drive the rest of my media shows up missing and will not reconect. Wondering if anyone has had to tackle this problem. I have a limited amount of space on my Drobo thunderbolt drives and need to optomize it. Thank you

So i called apple and after a few hours on the phone and them taking control of my computer they pretty much told me they had never seen this before and were sorry they couldnt assist in any way. The long explination is that i work for a company that films their footage in one long take and then sends it to me to cut into segments, i then have to copy these small edits which are all in different projects and the one large event over to a new hard drive to give to a guy to put titles on and then send back to the company. when i do this copy of project final cut X forces me to also duplicate the event leaving me with "event" (fcp1) and so on depending on how many projects there are. When i dont duplicate event and project together the whole project shows up as missing media and final cut X does not recognize that the original footage is being lost and therefor i am not even given the oportunity to reconect media. I have tried all conventional ways of copying and transfering and have an extensive background in editing and have never come across this, but then again this is final cut X and something that i try and stray away from if i have a choice in systems.
to answer Tony im using copy project and event because it is the only option that works (copy project and used media works as well but only creates more confusion with having to rename files) I would prefer to be able to just copy the first project and event and then be able to source the rest of the project files from the first event i copied over.

Deleting Project Folders in X5

Please Help.
I'm using RH X5 with SVN as my source control software. I
cannot delete top level project folders after I have created them.
How can I delete them?
Thank you.

Thanks for your help. In another thread, Peter G. also
suggested checking your local directory (outside of RH) to make
sure there are no files in the folder you are trying to delete. To
add, I found images that were still in the folder. I forgot to move
them. Finally, Peter G. suggested to use the Unused Files report. I
still have to try that.

Are the iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders needed?

I'm using version 10.0.6 of iMovie and moved some of my projects to an external HD using File > Move Events to Library. I noticed in my Movies folder in my home directory that the related project folders under iMovie Events and iMovie Projects weren't moved. It seems that these are left over after upgrading iMovie and that it just uses the iMovie Library and iMovie Theater bundles. Can the iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders be safely deleted?

Yes they can be deleted if you have moved all the projects you want to work further on to iMovie 10, have checked that they are working OK, and are happy with switching permanently to iMovie 10. (There's no going back).
On the other hand if you leave them you can still use the earlier version of iMovie.
