Do I need a new external HD to export the Color files?

I'm about to color correct the film I edited on FCP using Color. I'm a bit confused about a few issues. The first is that I shot my project using the HVX on P2 cards, then transfered it to my 500g glyph drive. The first question is, when you are done grading the film, does Color create completely new XML / Quicktime files, just like my original source material? Or does it just render the original media on my external hardrive using the color settings? If it DOES create new media, am I looking at a bunch of new quicktime files that will fill up my external hardrive? It's already pretty full. Do I have to invest in a second drive for the color corrected media?
I also read in the manual that you have to name the new color files the exact same names as your original Quicktime source files so FCP can reconnect the media to your sequence. Obviously I'm nervous about overwriting the original files on my drive, or confusing final cut pro. I know I could just save them in a different folder, but having two files named identical things on the same external drive seems dangerous and confusing. Do I need to daisy chain another drive just for the new color corrected media?
My final question is, does Color reduce the over all quality of your source media? I've heard that color correction in FCP actually reduces the quality just a bit because it uses a new codec on the render file or something, does COLOR bypass that? Are you getting a downgrade in quality from your source files?
I'm obviously a bit confused. Someone clue me in here.

Yeah, you are cornfused and quite honestly, you should really indulge in some training/teaching aides and practice before engaging in a project. But, that's up to you.
I hope you've read the release notes and for your first project, I'd advise following those notes to the letter.
Color will render new files and the size of those files is determined by the output codec that you set in your user preferences. If your current drive is almost full, you'll need to get another drive (by the way, rule of thumb for drive capacity is to leave 10% of drives capacity empty) and direct Color to render new files towards that volume.
YOU will not name the new Color media, it'll be done for you in the Render directory on the new volume provided that direct Color to put those files on your new volume. Color will not overwrite anything, I don't understand where you're getting that information.
Umm, where did you hear FCP reduces quality of color correction? When you render your Color timeline, you get a choice of output codecs, including the codec of the source material. I don't know where the idea of "downgrading" quality comes from.
Do yourself a favor and do some testing before you go any where near your finished "film." By the way, your HVX shoots video, not film.
Good luck.

Trying to download photos from IPHONE, IPAD to IPHOTO in IMAC after installing new hard drive.
How did you import the photos to iPad and iPhone?
If the photos have been synced to the iPhone and iPad using iTunes, you cannot sync them back.
See this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
If your photos are not in the Camera Roll on your devices, save them to the Camera Roll, share them to the Photo Stream, mail the photos, or, if you have iPhoto on the devices, use iTunes Photo Sharing.
http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkee26bc1
Save photos to your computer using iTunes
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap Share> iTunes.
Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.

There are lower cost or free alternatives to MS Office.
IWork is very good and converts Word files easily. If you only need Numbers or Pages, you can purchase them seperately. There is also Neo-Office and OpenOffice.

Unfortunately she broke the phone and gave it back to me. In the meantime I decided to upgrade my phone since I signed up for a 2yr contract I figured I might as well get a new phone. I got the lgg3 for free with a2yr contract and with that I was offered the LG tablet for free for 10$month with a 2 yr contract also. I am not happy with Verizon at all. The fees, service and even my lgg3 device. I wanted to know what would be the cheapest was to end this contract. I should have thought about the agreement before I signed I know. I just want out. Thank you for any help

Early termination fees:

iphone 5c. $350
so $875 to get out. You keep all the devices.

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

HT3275 Time machine at home and it will not allow me to remove the listing of my external hard drive from the excluded files list.

Please help guys, I have a Time machine at home and it will not allow me to remove the listing of my external hard drive from the excluded files list.
I am trying to use time machine to back up the hard drive. For backing up from Macbooik pro and Imac, there is no problem. It seems to not want to allow the external drive to be removed from the Excluded list and as such will not back up from it.
Is there a way to be able to transfer files (music, movies etc) to time machine, format the external drive then put the files back to hard drive?
Sorry it is a long winded question but it is driving me nuts that I cant sort this out.
The <Macbook and Imac are both running mountain lion.
Thanks Guys

As for the hard drive to which you have never been able to write, is it by any chance in NTFS format? OS X can read NTFS for importing files, but it does not contain code for writing on an NTFS volume. That's a choice, not a bug.
There is third-party software available to install NTFS-writing capability into OS X. An example is Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X. Another alternative would be to use a disk format that both Macs and Windows systems can use for both reading and writing; this would require either a new drive or erase the existing data.
If by "the new system software" you mean OS X 10.9 Mavericks, you may want to repost that portion of your query in the Mavericks forum at https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mavericks . I haven't made the leap yet.
I don't know what other problems you have been having, so I cannot comment on them. You don't seem to have any other recent postings on these forums.

The best audience for applets is people off the internet. 'People off the internet' might be using a computer that has no (what was it?) 'open.html' in the root of the C: drive. In fact (shock horror) they may not even be running Windows, and would therefore probably have no 'C:' drive at all.
If you do not intend to distribute this to people off the web, an application makes a lot more sense, but even then, you cannot rely on the document being there unless you 'put it there' (during installation, for instance).
As the other poster intimated, applets can load documents off the local disk as long as they are trusted. Here is an example*, but note that it is not so rash as to presume any particular path or file, and instead leaves it to the user to choose the document to display.
* The short code can be seen at SDNShare on the [Defensive Loading of Trusted Applets|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2315] post.
On the other hand, a sandboxed applet can load any document coming from its own server via URL, or get showDocument(URL) to work. In that case, the JRE must recognize that the URL is from its own server, so the best way to form URLs for applet use is via the URL constructor
new URL(getDocumentBase(), "path/to/open.html");That is how I form the URL in this [ sandboxed example of formatting source|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/jh%2FHelpSetter.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0]. Of course, in this case the applet loads the document, then parses the text to draw the formatted version, but the point is that an URL produced this way will work with showDocument(URL).
I am pretty sure showDocument() in an applet off the internet will work with an URL pointing to a foreign (not its own) server, but it will not be able to load documents off the end user's local disks.
I suggest a couple of things.
- Try to express this problem in terms of what feature it is that you want to offer the end user. Your question jumps directly to a bad strategy for achieving ..who knows what? An example of a feature is "Shows the applet 'help' files on pressing F1".
- A good way to indicate interest in a solution is to offer [Duke stars|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Duke+Stars+Program+Overview] to match that interest.
Edit 1:
..and please figure out how to use the CODE tags.

I'm able to view all files on a new external hard drive except the ones in the itunes folder?

Hello can anyone help with this... I recently had an external 500 gig Western Digital that stopped working. I took to store and had them transfer the data onto a new external portable hard drive (1.5 gig) At store they hooked up to Mac Book and showed me the files in the itunes folder, however when I connect the drive at home to my imac running tiger 10.4.6 none of the files are visible in the itunes folder. All the other backup files are fine. And when i right click on iTunes folder >Get Info It says zero kb in the folder. However I know the files are there because itunes is working and playing them fine. And when I search for a band and open the folder of say "pearl jam" folder it then magically shows just those sub folder for that group in the itunes folder.
Any suggestions? It seems that the files are definitely there I just can't view them.
Thank you.

what i can suggest is drag the itunes folder to your desktop
then go to itunes>preference>advance
make sure that you have a check on
1. keep itunes media folder organize and copy file to Itunes media folder (im not sure if thats availble on lower version of itunes)
the go back to itunes>library>organize library put a check on consolidate file
itunes will automatically add up song on the itunes library
if that wont work
you can redownload the song or apps on itunes store purchases
