Currently my internal drive is full due to Aperture. I want to work with Aperture from a external drive verses my internal drive. In addition, I want to back-up my work to another external drive. Is this easily done? Does this make sense? Pros / Cons...

Currently my internal drive is out of space due to my Aperture files. I want to place Aperture on a external drive to work from verses in intnal drive. In addition, I want to back-up all my work to another external for safe keeping. Once I move aperture to the external, I want to delete it off my internal drive. Does this make sense to do? Pros / Cons....

It is common for people to move their Aperture, iPhoto, iTunes etc. files to an external drive when those files become too large to conveniently keep on the internal drive.
The best approach is probably to keep the applications (iPhoto, Aperture etc.) where they are now, but move the files (photos, music, videos etc.) to the external drive.
You should set up a process to regularly backup all the files from both the internal drive as well as the external drive you'll be using. Here are two approaches:
(1) Use Time Machine. You can configure Time Machine so that it backs up both the internal drive as well as the external drive, all to a third separate backup drive. This is done via the Options button in the Time Machine preference pane.
(2) You can use a "cloning" program, such as SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner, to make complete copies of files on your internal drive and that external drive. One way to do this is to use a very large disk for the backups, and to partition it into two backup drives, making one dedicated to the internal, the other dedicated to the external.
Two separate types of backups are recommended. I use both (1) and (2) above, and I disconnect and shut down the clone type backups when not being used. That way a power failure or surge that might destroy the original disk(s) plus the Time Machine backup(s) would still not damage the backups made under (2).
Don't delete your original Aperture files until you have verified that they are working properly from the external drive AND you have made a backup of them.

  • Work with data from a table of another SAP R/3 system

    Hi,
    I want to work with data from a table of another system. I know there's a function called 'RFC_READ_TABLE' but I don't know really how it works. What I want to do is to get data from that system and pass it to the one where I'm working in order I can continue working with this data in the report.
    Besides, I'd like to select only the records that have some conditions.
    I'd appreciate if someone could tell how to do it, whether with FM 'RFC_READ_TABLE' or in another way.
    Thanks in advance,
    Gerard
    P.S: The systems are already connected in SM59

    Yes, you can use RFC_read_table .You can pass the number of columns but I recommend you to  bring all results in your internal table after that you can filter the records. Most of the time I have notice when you make RFC call with this FM to another system it works but it may also happen that other system controlling authorization and then it might give you nothing. As I face this problem on my last Project.
    Hope this’ll give you idea!!
    <b>P.S award the points.</b>
    Good luck
    Thanks

  • When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me  ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

    when i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me  ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

    Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
    You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already.  Then you will have two computers authorized.  Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time.  If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
    Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library.  Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct.  But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

    Hi Pez,
    iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
    Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
    Cheers,

    I keep getting an error message that reads: Not enough storage This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available. What does this mean? How do I fix it?

    Try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    After that: go to Settings - iCloud - Storage and backup - turn off the iCloud backup
    and backup with iTunes from now on

  • Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? A

    Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? And if not, is Adobe developing plugins for these cameras?

    Not sure what plugins you mean, Hornet - Lr doesn't rely on plugins to read new cameras.
    If you mean the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plugin - that's for Photoshop, not Lightroom. Lr has the same functionality as ACR, but it's hard-coded into the program, so if you're looking for support for a new camera, you need to wait for a new version of Lr.
    And nobody here can say when Lr support for a given camera will happen.
    Hopefully someone with a Merrill will be able to chime in about whether its files work with the current Lr.

    there are only 2 statistical probabilities of both charger blocks (NOT the cord as you report) going at the same time.
    and what "goes" is one of the 2 capacitors inside them.
    A: bad power on your outlet (more likely)
    B; also likely is a defective IO board in your macbook causing the charger blocks to go kaput

    If you are getting it when your iPhone is not connected to anything it probably means there is line/debris that is causing a short between the pins on your dock connector. Get a soft brush and clean it.

    Is that in "Wiley" language
    Don't I have to covert it again from Wiley into English?
    "Wiley" is not a language, it is a system for transliterating Tibetan letters into Latin letters, chiefly used by scholars because it gives an accurate representation of the Tibetan word in Latin letters, including letters that are silent or pronounced differently in Tibetan. Like English, Tibetan is only partially phonetic in its writing; there are numerous letters which are written but not pronounced in speech, while other letters are pronounced differently than theirr "nominal" sound either singly or in combination. As in English, where a student must learn that "tion" is pronounced "shun".
    Transliteration produces a letter-for-letter copy in a different alphabet, such as the Latin alphabet we use. Transcription of Tibetan produces a word in Latin letters that shows how the word sounds, which may be very different from how it's spelled. (There have been numerous systems of transcription for Tibetan; currently the best for international use is the THL Simplified Phonetic Transcription [see below]. Also many Tibetan words and names are commonly known in varying idiosyncratic transcriptions which don't follow any formal system.) Translation gives the equivalent of the Tibetan word in another language, such as English. For instance, the expression above:
    བཀྲ་ཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས། (common Tibetan greeting, like Hawaiian "aloha" or Hebrew "shalom")
    Wiley transliteration: bkra shis bde legs
    THL transcription: tra shi dé lek
    Common rendering: Tashi Delek
    Translation: Auspicious Blessings
    If you're interested in learning about Tibetan, a good place to start is Wikipedia, which has good articles about the language, its script (alphabet), and transliteration systems.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Tibetan
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_alphabet
    If you're seriously interested, you can try this Tibetan Language Student website:
    http://www.learntibetan.net
    Note that the Tibetan text on this site is not in Unicode, so you have to download a special font for it.
    This book is the best introductory on the Tibetan script and how it works: "Tibetan Language Pre-Primer":
    http://www.namsebangdzo.com/Tibetan_Language_Pre_Primer_p/11371.htm
    Or if you're really serious, the Tibetan Language Institute:
    http://www.tibetanlanguage.org
    And the Tibetan & Himalayan Library offers pages which can convert Tibetan script to Wylie transliteration:
    http://www.thlib.org/reference/transliteration/wyconverter.php
    and phonetic transcription:

    Is שלום.  an actual real word?
    שלום is Hebrew, not Tibetan, and is a word. Hebrew is phonetically written, so both transliteration and transcription for שלום is "shalom", and it translates as "peace" in English.

  • Disappearing hard drive and sudden inability to work with files from my camera.

    I was installing the photoshelter plugin and noticed my external hard drive was not displayed. I had to import the whole drive again. Now when I try to import from my cards I get the error that this version of LR cannot work with my camera files. It has been working with them for years so what's up?

    It's a long shot, but if nothing more concrete is posted, as you had just installed Photoshelter, have you tried uninstalling it and seeing whether this makes a difference.

    Sorry, but your likely going to have to use Windows 7 and Office on your Mac at work using Bootcamp.
    Although you can share files OfficeMac and Office on Windows, the formatting will be off because two platforms use different installed fonts and formatting. This will cause a productivity lost and require extra editing at work
    If you could share just PDF's then your fine, but that will unlikely be the case.
    So to share files seamlessly your going to have to install Windows 7 (another $300) full version, 64 bit, using Apple's Bootcamp.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    It's ok, though, you can boot into OS X to use that online and surfing etc at home. It's the internet and sharing of files from other Windows users that cause Windows to hoze up, so mimimalize both of those and you should be fine.
    You can also run Windows 7 in a virtual machine software like Parallels or VMFusion. as long as you don't have any super demanding needs of the hardware, like running 3D games or super intense CPU actions like video processing. Office work is just fine and it's safer than Bootcamp, as in a virtual machine you can keep "snapshots" of previous states of the OS, and revert back to in case something goes wrong in mere seconds.
    A real good piece of news though, Windows 8 is so radically changed from Windows 7, that your workplace will remain with Windows 7 as long as possible to put off all the retraining necessary with that new OS version.
    So think of the $300 + $60 investment in Windows on your Mac as a longterm thing.
