Everything won't fit on the disk...do I need to change settings?

Hey,
I am working on a project that I edited in FCP 5.0 that is approx. 2 hrs long. I would like that video plus a 40 picture slideshow and a scene selection on a DVD. I have done this before and it has fit on a single non dual layer disk.
When exporting from FCP I use "Quicktime Conversion". Should I use "Quicktime Movie"?
I would like it to be fairly high quality like the last time I did this without using a DL disk.
Thanks for the help,
Chase

Hello DJChase,
first off, the maximum amount of video (incl. slideshow and DVD menu) for an SL DVD is two hours, so wether you will be able to fit in everything will depend on the overall length of everything.
When exporting from FCP you should generally export as QT movie and not use the QT Conversion option, as this usually degrades the video somewhat (even if the export settings match the sequence settings).
Question here: if you're using FCP, why don't you create the DVD using DVDSP/Compressor? The output quality will surely surpass that of iDVD.
hope this helps

I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air. I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work. The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything. What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder. So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air? Whew!

iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

I want to transfer files from a functioning hard drive in a nonfunctioning MacBook Pro to an external drive. I have an IDE/SATA drive adapter. The files won't fit on the drive for a working computer I have. Can I use it to transfer files to the external?

Good luck and you are welcome.
Like I said, I bought one of their inexpensive enclosures and now can use the hard drive just as a source for the files that are on it...my external drives are much larger and faster so I just plug that drive in when I need something from it.
This one is on sale for $16 http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/ES2.5BPU2S/

At the moment I have a long Griffin charging cable. Unfortunately now that I have the Smart Case this won't fit through the available hole. Is there any other make that will fit that has the none lightening fitting that I want.

At the moment I have a long Griffin charging cable. Unfortunately now that I have the Smart Case this won't fit through the available hole. Is there any other make that will fit that has the none lightening fitting that I want.

I wonder if this comment on the Amazon site is the answer to my problems?
PLEASE NOTE: In order to provide the same power output as an original 3 ft Apple USB cable, the housing of our 6.5 ft cables need to be a bit larger. Due to the larger head size, it will not be compatible with some cases that have a smaller charger opening
If that is the case then I am stuck with the Griffin one or just use the original.
Thanks for your observations guys

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

No you don't.
Mac's auto-defragment by writing 2GB+ sized files and smaller to one space on the drive, so you really don't need to worry about it.
If your going to parititon your drive or need a large space of free space, then Carbon Copy Cloning the entire OS x parittion to a external drive, option booting off of it and then erasing and reverse cloning is the approved method of defragmenting and freeing up disk space, rahter than using defragmentaiton software that can cause issues and make the machine inoperatible.

If you need steps to *cough* clean your Mac of caches and whatnot less your kid/wife/mother/girlfriend/boss, see's it then the steps are as follows.
1: Clean/clear your browser caches first, delete your history etc. from within the program itself, delete any files on the machine by dragging to Trash and emtpy Trash (secure erase not needed if you follow the steps later)
2: Download CCleaner for the Mac and run that
3: Download OnyX for the Mac and run all the cleaning and maintainece, reboot at the end.
4: For scrubbing hard drives of traces (deleted files), use Apple's Disk Utility > Erase Free Space option: Zero (or 7x if you need military/foresic level type deletion, but it takes overnight to complete)
Make sure your browser plug-ins are current, Flash, Silverlight especially.

And your Mac needs more codecs, search for Perian, VLC and Flip4Mac, install those.

A calendar is not difficult nor does it take long once you know where the dates fall.
Start with a basic month template table.
1. Click on the table icon on the Toolbar to create a basic table for one month
2. Click on the resultant table > Inspector > Table > Headers & Footers > 2nd button > 1
3. Inspector > Table > Body Rows: 6 > Body Columns: 7
4. Inspector > Metrics > Size > Width: 7 cm/in > Height: 7 cm/in
You can drag resize the whole month to your liking afterwards
5. Select the entire header row > Inspector > Table > Edit Rows & Columns > Merge Cells > Type in a month
6. Type Mon in first cell & Tue in 2nd cell of of 2nd row > Select both cells and drag the white dot in the bottom right corner sideways to fill the cells with the days
7. Do the same with the dates in the cells below
8. You can fill the spare dates at the beginning and end of the month if you like and maybe change them to a paler grey.
9. Style and position the text as you like it.
10. If you don't want to see the grid or want different strokes, colors etc:
Inspector > Table > Cell Borders/Cell Backgrounds etc
When you have the first month looking the way you want, option drag out copies sideways to make the rest of the months.

HT201250 How do you stop a Macbookpro with OSX 10.7.5 from turning off or logging off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

My problem is my Macbookpro mid 2010 with OSX 10.7.5 seems to turn off or logs off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

I had this problem on an IMac and I finally found a solution in an unlikely place. The problem was a security setting. I don't remember right this moment the exact setting and I am not on that machine right now but when I am I will try to retrace my steps to the fix. In the meantime check your security settings and any browser or browser extensions for computer log off settings. These settings are intended to prevent unauthorized use and incidentally screw up your backups. Hope this helps.

My iphone will not connect to the airport network since I added a security password. The ipad connected immediately. Is there a setting on the phone that I need to change?

Is there a way to view/delete apps that won't fit on the 11 screens?

I have more apps than fit on the 11 available screens - is there a way to view/delete apps that aren't on the 11 screens? I know I can launch them from the search facility, but that doesn't give me a comprehensive list or the ability to remove?

You can only remove them in iTunes on the computer.

Elements 9 won't open "because the disk is not available"

Hi All
I have had PSE 9 on my Mac for 18 months with no problems.
Recently I upgraded the boot drive to a larger one as the original was running out of space. I used a standard disc cloning tool and all has been well.
Except...PSE now says it "cannot open scratch file because the disk is not available" followed by "cannot initialise because the disk is not available".
I uninstalled PSE and downloaded a new copy thinking perhaps that the original was somehow corrupted by the cloning. Still does the same thing.
I repaired permissions and re-started but still does the same thing.
Frankly I am stumped.
Anyone got any ideas? It does not even say which disk it thinks is unavailable!

Sadly that has not made any difference I am afraid.
This is what happens:

The disk copy of "File_Name" was changed since you last opened or saved it. Do you want to save anyway?

When saving a Photoshop CS6 file I am suddenly getting this message: "The disk copy of “File Name” was changed since you last opened or saved it. Do you want to save anyway?" I am not connected to a network and I had not downloaded any new software when it started. How do I fix this? and will this cause any file corruption? -Thanks

Chris, thanks. Yes, I realize that something outside of Photoshop is modifying the file but how do I find out what is causing it or how do I stop it? I had not added any new software or upgraded anything when this started and I have never had this problem before. I don't use any font managers. I do have a virus barrier but, as I've said, I have had this software for awhile and can't imagine why all of a sudden it would be interfering with my file. I spoke with Apple to see if the problem might be on their side but they seem to think my Mac is running fine. My biggest concern is will this cause my file to become corrupt? Before closing out yesterday, I created a new document and copied everything from this file over into the new document and renamed it in the hopes that it may help... Maybe something was wrong with that original document. Not sure that will work but will find out today. Also, I haven't worked on any other files since this started. So, I'm not sure yet if this is happening to this file only or if it may happen to future files. -Thanks
