Creating a path to move library to NAS

I'm am getting hung up on the right wording to create a new path to redirect my iTunes library to my NAS. Currently its set to /Users/Steve/Music/iTunes_2/iTunes Media on my Macbook pro, and I want to direct to a file I have already created on the NAS.
I've used the official guidance on this website for Moving the iTunes media folder but only succeded in moving music and movie files, not the library itself.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Im an idiot. I figured it out. I was trying to mask the duplicate. I got rid of the duplicate and just masked the text layer itself.

The Aperture Library could not be created at "/Volumes/Data/Aperture Library.aplibrary". Check the path and try again.

Hi,
I cannot reopen library. During opening aperture I can see a list of libraries. After selection "Aperture library.aplibrary" (default I guess) msg box is open
"Library info directory path contains a file where a folder was expected.
The Aperture Library could not be created at “/Volumes/Data/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. Check the path and try again."
Moreover, aperture library is not visible in other apps like Final Cut X Pro. I assume this is caused by the aperture problem.
Can anybody help me?

Sounds strange.
Did you try to double click your "Aperture Library.aplibrary"?
Maybe trying to open backuped library...
Or creating a new library by pressing the alt key when clicking on the Aperture Dock icon.

Create Automator workflow/AppleScript to automatically move files within NAS

Running iMac / Macbook Air (OS 10.9.5), having the Macs connected wireless to the same network as a Seagate Central (NAS). On the Seagate Central and the iMac I have specified a couple of folders which are bidirectional synced via "Sync folders pro", e.g. pictures/movies folders. As a family, we have several iPhones (4S and 5S) with dedicated folders on the Seagate Central / iMac. Having the Seagate Media app on the iPhones, we are able to upload (and thereby free iPhone memory) pictures/movies directly onto the Seagate Central (pictures/movies which then are synced back onto the iMac). However, when uploading pictures/movies from the iPhone to the Seagate central (via Seagate Media app), it is not possible to define a target directory, and the pictures are therefore uploaded to a dedicated directory. I therefore search for some workflow/script to automatically (when new pictures/movies are uploaded, or at a daily basis);
- Search for pictures/movies within a specific NAS folder
- Move the pictures/movies to another specific NAS folder
- Delete all other files/folders within the NAS folder being searched
New to Automator / scripting, so I hope you bear with me even if the questions are dumb.
Is it possible to make the NAS recognize a workflow/script without starting the iMac and/or MBA?

Ok, so I made it a bit further, now having the following Automator Workflow (iCal)
1. Get requested clients (check for ignore input from this action)
- afp://192.168.1.86/Public
2. Connect to client
- I end up with a mounted disc (Public folder). Note that I end up at the same folder even if using afp://192.168.1.86/Public/iPhone/Photos in step 1.
3. Get specified Finder items (check for ignore input from this action - to avoid having the Public folder itself following the workflow)
- Choose the subfolder Public/iPhone/Photos
4. Get folder content
5. Filter Finder items
- Did not get any results by using arguments as "kind is picture" and/or "kind is movie"
- Ended up using arguments as "name contains jpg", "name contains mov" etc
6. Move Finder items
- Destination folder: Public/Pictures/iPhone
- I now successfully managed to transfer the pictures and movies from one NAS folder to another
*** I now want to continue the workflow to delete all other Folders/Files on Public/iPhone/Photos ***
7. Get specified Finder items (check for ignore input from this action - to have no existing input for the remaining workflow)
- Choose the subfolder Public/iPhone/Photos
8. Get folder content
- Results no showing a folder and a file
9. Move Finder items to trash
However, I´m encountering a couple of problems with this workflow;
Note1: If there are no pictures/movies to move (no output from #5 going into #6), the workflow will stop. Any suggestions on how to skip step #6 and go to #7 if there are no pictures/movies to move? Applescript within Automator? Setting up the workflow as iCal (regular basis), so would be nice if the workflow just completes without errors (i.e. still goes on with deleting other files on the folder, even if there are no pictures/movies to move).
Note2: Step #9 result in a error "Finder could not move the specified items to trash". Has this something to do with a folder and some other file being attempted deleted from a NAS folder? Any suggestions for how to cope with this problem?

Installed iPhoto library on NAS external HDD - now I cannot access it.Help.

I initially had no problems with accessing photos from iPhoto but now when I open iPhoto I get a message "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." and then "Your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened.Please restore from a backup."
I cannot even see the individual files when I access the share on the NAS drive whether I mount it as smb or afp.
Any way to recover my photos?

Simon
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

HT1449 Consolidate library to NAS fails: error 1303. Help needed

I would be really grateful if anyone can help with the problem I am having consolidating my library.
My itunes library is too large (120MB) for my Win7 laptop, so I bought a Synology DS212J NAS. I have created a new 'iTunes' folder on the NAS and mounted it on my laptop. Then I followed the official instructions on how to move my library: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Attempt 1: iTunes error box says files could not be copied, error -1303
Attempt 2: iTunes error box says files could not be copied, error -1303
Attempt 3: 'windows blue screen crash" on my laptop
I'm at a loss what to do next. I really dont want to create a new library from scratch and lose all my playlists. I posted on the synology forum and people said try a windows or apple forum. I posted on the windows forum and was told to try an apple forum (as it's iTunes). Now I'm lost. Any help would be very very gratefully received!
Thanks

Hi Daniel,
I found these articles online. Hopefully they answer some of your questions. (I have a Synology NAS with my entire iTunes library on it and it works great, so it is possible! Hang in there!)

Create a link to movies stores on external hard drive for itunes

I seem to have an issue with creating a link to movies stored on my external top be played on itunes. Im NOT trying to move my itunes music library. I had to resetablish my links. Previously I had all of my movies stored on an external, would just highlight and drag to Itunes movies, an icon and a shortcut would quickly copy ans all was good. Now when I drag the movie icon to itunes it begins a "copying" process that takes a very long time.
??

What I do is this:
I keep the 'Keep iTunes folder Organised' option check (on). So that When I buy music or rip a CD, the music goes into my iTunes folder on my iMac's internal drive (in my home folder - default location).
However, I have elected to keep all my movies on an external drive, effectively meaning that I only want iTunes to partially organise my folder.
How do I get around this?
Simple. To add a movie to iTunes from my external drive, I simply OPTION-DRAG the file into iTunes. ie. select the file in the Finder, hold down the option key and drag it onto iTunes' open window. It will add the movie to the library, but WILL NOT copy it to the iTunes folder - the file will be referenced from its original location.
Simples.

Every time I create a button it moves to the centre of the page when outputing to pdf

every time I create a button it moves to the centre of the page when outputting to pdf
I have done a load of tests and it does it every time
I imported a jpg image as my button. Converted it to a button by Interactive/convert button. Even before I setup all the options in the buttons panel it moves. So for instance I have the button in the bottom RHS in Indesign. Then make a interactive pdf and its in the centre of the page. I have even converted the image back to an object and it goes back to in proper position.
I have tried this in several documents, starting from scratch and using different images and also drawn a button. I have also used the buttons from the button library
In previous version of Indesign I have never uncounted this problem.

Imovie 10: how to move the (movie) library to an external drive

Hi all,
using imovie '11 it wasn't any problem to move the (movie) library to an external drive following these instrcutions: <http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2289?viewlocale=en_US>. After updating to mavericks and imovie 10 I can't find the hard drive icon to pull down the drive list any more.
Maybe I missed something very obvious but would be very happy for any suggestion.
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Stephan

Your events and projects now reside in an file or files with extension .imovielibrary. You can create a new library wherever you want from within iMovie and drag and drop events into it from an exisitng library. If you want to move the complete library, select the library then go File - Consolidate Project Media. This ensures the library is self-contained and doesn't have any links to external media which could break when it is moved. You can then move the library to the external HD using the Finder. When you restart iMovie you will have to select File - Open Library - Other and navigate to its new location.
There are a lot of changes in imovie 10 and its really necessary to study the help file (http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7)

Create Immediate TO for movement type 344

Hi Gurus ,
I wanna create immediate TO for movement type 344, so i did the following configs:
1:Go to OMLR, set field "Immed.TO " as "A" for my warehouse and movement type 344.
Then , i called up MB1B 344, but no TO was created immediatelly.
i checked the additional data in LU03, the movement type is 344, and immed.TO is ticked. it seems all setting is ok, why the TO can't be created immediatelly?
thank you in advance.
BR,
Dragsky

First check which ref. movement type assigned to 344 movement type in W/H under below path
SPRO> LE>WM>Interfaces>IM>Define movement types
In this go to first option and check the last movement type assigned to mvt type 344 i.e. "Reference movement type for posting change in whse mgmt" (in combination with other indicator like stock category, special stock indicator etc....)
Then got to OMLR and check whether this ref. movement type defined for your W/H,
if yes, maintain setting for auto TO in that specific entry (in combination with other indicator like stock category, special stock indicator etc....)
If no, then check movement type for *** W/H and maintain specific entry (in combination with other indicator like stock category, special stock indicator etc....)
Hope it helps.

Can you make a new category in the movie library?

Can you make a new category in the movies library? I put my home movies into the "Home Videos" category. I put movies into the "Movies" category. I would like to make a new one. "Work Videos" . Is this possible?

You Cannot make a new Movie Media Kind, they are set by apple to be Movie and Home Video. However under Genre you could create a new Genre and call it whatever you want by typing in the Genre Box in the Get Info , Info page. This will then be available for future selections.
I am sure there are other ways to achieve what you want with different naming convention - it is up to you but you cannot add another Media Kind like Home Video

Help creating a path using variables.

HI
I;m trying to create a path to a movievclip created with
attachMovie. I need tio create the path using variable:
_root.var1.var2.gotoAndPlay("something");
How can I tell flash that var1, var2, etc are variables and
not a relative path?
Tks,

Hello Tks,
depending where the movieclip is that you are trying
communicate with you need to use either other movieclips or you
will need to use _parent.
var gong:MovieClip;
var bong:MovieClip;
var song:MovieClip;
this.attachMovie("gong".....
gong.attachMovie("bong"....
bong.attachMovie("song"...
to access song from the timeline in which all these movie
clips were attached
this.gong.bong.song.variable
from song to the timeline in which all movie clips were
attached
song._parent._parent._parent.variable
Hope this helps..

Help needed to create Quik Time VR movies, step by step

Hello,
thank you for your attenction.
I need to create Quick time vr movies, and I need to know the exact sequance of steeps to do it, and if the starting point I use is correct.
1) I shooted a sequence of photos with my digital camera (for example: www.stebianchi.com/quicktimevrhelp/still-photo.jpg).
2) Then, with photoshop (CS4) I choose: Automate/photomerge and I select all them to joint them in a bigger 360° panoramic one (www.stebianchi.com/quicktimevrhelp/pan.jpg). If, untill here, all is correct, the first question: in photoshop Photomerge layout option, do I have to choose one voice "auto, perspective, cylindrical, spherical, etc..." rather than anoter one of these?
3) from here, I really need your help.
First of all: the great doubt:
My photos can not cover a spherical panorama, they're only a "ring" around a center (and not a spherical texture). To cover all the surface (or almost all, ok...) of my ambient, do I have to use a wider lens on my camera or there is a different solution (for ex a vertical photomerge?).
4) Done this, I think I shuold buy a software like Cubic converter, to set and export the QTVR movie. Right?
Thanks a lot guys,
all the best!
Stefano

You can call your local apple store(find one on the home page of apple.com) and they will give you instructions how to convert DVD to iPod. That is what they told me, but from what I heard, you may need more than Quicktime Pro. Just call and ask them, because if you make a manual of how to do it, it could help me a lot.
(I'm looking for a good DVD converter, already know some, beside the internet download ones)

Select/highlight the ones that you want to change in your iTunes library, do Get-Info (control-I) and change their Media Kind on their Options tab to 'Music Video' - and then similarly for the podcasts.

Unfortunately I have to if I download it on my computer. I have rented itunes movies before directly using the Apple TV and it worked just fine and I could stay in the living room. Without clicking that icon on my computer, there was no way to watch it.
