FCP thinks iMac's second drive is a camera

My iMac has 2 drives, the SSD and a 2TB HD, FCP only reconizes the SSD drive as a device and the HD as a camera. It didn't take long before my SSD was full and refusing to copy any more files to it. I moved the "Final Cut Events" and "Final Cut Projects" folder off the SSD and onto the internal HD drive. As expected FCP is now empty so my question is this.
How do I link FCP to the new location of the Events and Projects folders and how do I force FCP to copy all future importered material to the new folder location instead of insisting on putting them on the SSD..?
thanks.

The drive is formatted as: Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Found no folders or files named "Private" or "DCIM" located on that drive. Even checked the hidden files on that drive and this is all I came up with:
.apdisk
.DocumentRevisions-V100/
.DS_Store
.fcplock
.fcpuser
.fseventsd/
.Spotlight-V100/
.TemporaryItems/
.Trashes/

  • I have an iMac with 2 internal drives and set-up with multiple user accounts.  How do I create a path to store data files on my second drive within an application?

    I have an iMac with 2 internal drives and a multiple user account set-up.  Hw do I create a path to store data files on the second drive within an application?

    This is the Mac mini forum not the iMac forum however...
    Applications written for average users like Photoshop, Word, i.e. GUI based applications provide a 'Save' dialog box which while allow selecting second drives or any drive. The dialob box initially shown might be in the simple mode but you just need to click on the triangle to show the full set of options. You should then see the different drive names amongst other options.
    If your referring to an application your writing yourself then you need to build a pathname. This can be in one of two styles depending on the programming system your using. This could be a POSIX style path or a Mac style path.
    POSIX = /Volumes/volname/foldername
    Mac style = Volname:foldername:

  • I have an iMac and I am running out of disc space. I am considering an external drive to house my iTunes library. If I buy a second drive to operate as a back up will time machine back up the disc on the IMac and the external drive with the iTunes library

    If you have a considerable photograph and/or movie collection you may want to consider off loading those to the EHD too. Here are Apple's article showing how handle iTunes & iPhoto libraries.

  • FCP on iMac - video card RAM

    What are the benefits from boosting video memory on the 20-in iMac from 128 MB to 256 MB? I'm interested in the effect on performance while using video editing software such as Final Cut Pro. Thanks!

    Hi:
    I thought you was trying to upgrade an iMac you had, but you are getting a new one !
    Motion will be the FCS program to take great advantage from your graphic card processor. Motion is GPU based.
    The other componentes of FCS are CPU based. From FCP v5.1 you can use some of the Motion effects what means that your GPU power will help there.
    I'm pretty sure you have visited this page:
    http://www.apple.com/imac/graphics.html
    Here you can find the Motion graphics requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/motion/specs.html
    Your best option is the 24" with the 7600 GT.
    Think you'll need a second drive (external) to store your captured video.
    WHY DON'T YOU . . . ?
    Probably you'll get a better and more flexible FCS station getting an used PowerMac that you can "dress" with better options to use FCS: second internal fast drive, graphic cards, etc.

  • IF I install FCP on another internal hard drive but boot off the other drive?

    Hi
    There is something I don't understand
    When you have 2 hard drives and one has the OS and you decide to clone that onto a second internal hard drive, what happens to the applications in that second drive?  Do you have to reboot and re-start from that second hard drives "startup disk" to use those applications
    The reason being is this.  Right now I have the OS in one drive but I'd like to install a second hard drive, clone the OS but also intsall Final Cut Pro on that second drive, so everything that I do as far as editing is contained within that second drive
    What I'm getting at is, can I still use Final Cut Pro Application in that second drive even though I started up the computer up from the first drives startup disk?
    Or would it be better to buy a large drive, like a 2TB and just partition the Final Cut Pro within that drive?
    Thank you!

    Hi Jim
    But wouldn't that be the case if you have an OS in each drive (FCP in the second drive)
    Although that second drive would not be "running" per se, wouldn't FCP still work as a stand alone in that drive? Or no?
    I'm talking about FCP 7
    Thank you

  • How to install system 9.1 on second drive of a G4 while running OS 10.5.8 on primary drive

    I am Using a G4 OS 10.5.8, trying to install system 9.1 on an erased/reformated disk with system 9 drivers option selected. Can't boot with a 9.1 install disk by holding C key on startup.   When booted with sys 10.5.8 attempting to install sys 9 on the reformatted drive yields error "classic functions are no longer supported"  no luck just copying  the software from the install disk, even though the drive shows up as an available startup drive, it never gets a spinning wheel during startup attempts.
    Thinking about reinstalling the original powermac G4 software (there are other partitions or drives available) but trying the path of least resistance first.
    Totally open to suggestions

    Since you are running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on that machine, unless you used one of the unsupported install methods your G4 has a processor that is 867MHz or faster (that's one of the requirements for Leopard).
    Assuming that is the case, you will never be able to boot the machine to OS 9.1, or to any retail OS 9 Install CD.
    The first G4 which met the 867MHz requirement was the QuickSilver '02 model (only the mid and upper speed units); all G4 MDD models meet that requirement.
    All of the preceding which are OS 9 bootable (the G4 MDD FW800 model is not OS 9 bootable) can use only the model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 which shipped with them as a bootable OS 9.
    The QS '02 models used a stand-alone OS 9.2.2 Install CD, labelled Software Install. Installation of OS 9.2.2 using that is straight-forward - boot the machine to the Software Install CD, and install OS 9.2.2 on the second drive.
    The MDD models are a bit different. They came with a combination installer disk, one which booted to OS X but which was capable of also installing OS 9.2.2 (Classic, I think it is referred to in the installer's jargon).
    Unfortunately, the installer on those disks seems to have a restriction - it will install OS 9 (Classic) only onto a volume which already has OS X installed on it. So, how to get OS 9-only on the second drive? Two ways -
    A) Install OS 9 (Classic) onto the main drive, then copy it via drag-and-drop onto the second volume. Once placed there and tested for booting, remove the install of it placed on the original drive. Be sure to copy the folders named System Folder, Applications (Mac OS 9), and Documents; if there is a free-standing folder named Utilities, copy that too (it often is placed into the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder).
    Possible issues -
    * since the OS X on the original drive is Leopard, a substantly newer version that that on the OEM disk set, the installer on that disk set may balk at doing this.
    • aliases will be broken by copying the system and support files to the second drive. This can include an alias to Sherlock in the Apple Menu Items folder in System Folder and perhaps one or more in the Application Support folder in System Folder. Alises can be repaired - do a Get Info on an alias, and the Get Info window will display a button which can be used to reconnect the alias to the appropriate original.
    B) Install OS X (the version on the original install CD set) onto the second drive. Then install OS 9 (Classic) onto that drive. Once it has been tested for booting, throw away the OS X system and files from that drive.
    Possible issue - deleting OS X can leave behind some invisible files. Unless you are very short on disk space, these should present no problem and can be ignored - OS 9 will not (can not) attempt to use them.

    I share this person's pain.  And was just now about to ask the same question.  So, in effect we're screwed.  I have the disc but without a drive I think E12 and this computer is going to have a very short life in my life.  And for the life of me, why is so darn hard to get questions answered by Adobe?  Good grief...I have 2 books and have saty through enough video "tutorials" to last me for some time!

  • How move Project or Event file to second drive?

    Hi, In my Mac Pro 1,1 my internal drive is nearly full with multiple FCP Projects/timelines and Events. I have another internal drive. How do I move some of these Projects and Events to the second drive without losing access to them in FCPX? Thanks! Duncan

    Tom, thanks so much.
    By the way, I just got your book on Final Cut Pro X from Amazon, and it looks like it will be very helpful. Thanks again, Duncan

  • Second Drive Folder Permissions - Recovering Files

    Hi Guys
    Browsing some files on my second drive (internal) I noticed some folders had like a red 'stop' mark on them and I couldn't see any files in them. I right clicked and changed my permissions from 'No Access' to 'Read and Write'. Nothing happened. So I select the folder containing the unreadable folders, did the same, and ticked apply to 'enclosed items' and rebooted.
    After rebooting the folders didn't have the stop mark on them, but showed as being empty. If I copy one of the folders nothing is copied (OS X thinks it's blank)
    I have tried opening terminal and chmod the folder to 755 and nothing.
    Please, can anyone help. I have loads of jpegs that I can not afford to lose.
    Powermac G5 2.5 Quad   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Only a few more things I can think of:
    1) The drive's directory has become corrupted and it can no longer display the files. Run Disk Utility's "repair disk" and see if that fixes it. Better yet, try DiskWarrior on it.
    2) If neither of those help, you might try Prosoft DataRescue on it. It costs $99, but the free demo will tell you whether or not the full version can recover what you want.
    3) If that doesn't help, you might have to send your drive in to Drive Savers for a hardware data extraction (big $$$$$).

  • Can't get my second drive working.

    I've added a second drive before, but for some reason it doesn't want to work this time. I'm adding a 320gb Maxtor ATA/100 drive. When I connect it and try starting, I get this: http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6503/picture1tg4.png
    Now, the back of the box says that I need a "Mac-compatible ATA PCI card with 48 bit BIOS support" for drives over 137gb. However, I had a 160gb drive installed before and it worked fine right out of the box. Same kind and everything. Should I just get the adapter?

    Hi
    After physically installing the drive, did you format it using the OS X disk utility?
    I think newer versions of OS X detect an unformatted drive and show the prompt in your screen shot. You can then select Initialise to format the drive. Alternatively you could select Ignore, run the disk utility and format the drive manually.

  • Steps installing SSD as second drive or bay in P775

    Hi all,I have toshiba satellite P775 for couple of years and very happy with it. I am pleasantly surprise that it came with an open second drive bay drive. The SSD price has been coming down, so took this opportunity to install SSD as my primary drive and then move my old/existing drive to the second bay.  Items needed.1. Installl software that can image disk or partition to my new SSD. I choose freeware, EaseUS Todo backup.2. Get 2.5" Sata SSD drive. My old/existing drive has 2 partitions: one 100GB for OS & apps and the rest is for my data. My SSD drive needs to be bigger than my OS & apps partition so that I don't have to reinstall my software.3. I bought part K000122700 (second hhd cable adapter) from partstore.com for $40 after tax & shipping. It took 2-3 weeks to arrive because it's special order.4. I also need a very very very sharp utility knife. The cable on part K000122700 is a bit short thus I have to cut off a bit of plastics that are in the way. WARNING: may void warranty, and risky...blah blah...5. Screwdriver.6. Window OS CD. Steps:1. Install freeware EaseUS Todo backup.2. Backup my existing/old drive3. Power down PC, remove power plug & remove battery. Open both bay (primary and secondary)4. Add the new hard disk adapter, K000122700. Try to maneuver it to fit into the secondary bay. Figure out what/which plastic are in the way. Protect the cables and board around that area with thick piece of cardboard before removing the bits of plastic casing. Keep the new adapter safe while plastic trimming with sharp utility knife.5. Install the new adapter along with new SSD drive in second bay.6. Close bays, add battery and restart machine.7. Using EaseUS Todo backup, copy the OS, software/apps & settings into new SSD. I kept my data in seperate partition in my old drive. Data stayed with the old drive. More detailed info from google search: http://lifehacker.com/5837543/how-to-migrate-to-a-solid-state-drive-without-reinstalling-windows8. Shutdown machine, unplug power and battery, open both bays.9. Take out old drive and remove the aluminium covering.10. Take out SSD drive and put on the aluminium covering.11. Switch drives. Now my new SSD is in main bay and my old drive is in secondary bay.12. I've also added a bit of filler made of rolled cardboard to secure my secondary drive better. Look at picture.13. Close all covers. Add battery & power.14. When first startup, it'll ask for boot from a windows CD. Then do a repair.15. Remove CD.16. Restart. Now the startup with new SSD. Everything was a fine for me. The tougest part for me was removing the bits of plastics (step 4) because I was afraid of cutting some other cables or board nearby. Step 14 was also scarry because it took some time for the OS disk to do the repair. I also need to unactivate software license (eg: malwarebytes, norton, ....) in my old drive and reactive them in my new SSD. Results:P775-S7100 - 17.3" - Core i5 2450M - Windows 8 Pro with Windows Media Center 64-bit - 6 GB RAM. (I have updated the OS two years ago).I bought PNY Optima SSD 240GB firmware n0530a, not the fastest disk, but it's on sale for $60. Total cost of upgrade is ~$100 (SSD+2nd HD ribbon/adapter). Decent price to pay for all the performance gain with lower run temperature too. Its like getting a brand new machine with lots of horsepower (though with same cpu). Very responsive, faster boot time, faster application launch & load. Disk performance is a bottleneck that can be easily solve with cheap SSD. The toshiba dual bay makes the expansion easy. I use freeware, CrystalDiskMark to test performance. BIG IMPROVEMENT...........   Attached are my pictures.

    Netlander, First off thank you for taking the time to pen this post about your intall, very imformative.  Figured I add my two cents for what it's worth for anybody else thinking about attempting this. I have the P775-S7148.  My computer is a couple years old and was overdue for a refresh, figured while I was at it I would do the swap to SSD hard drive. Stuff I ordered:Like you I ordered the little sata/Board/ribbon cable part: K000122700,  I also order a second hard drive caddy that comes with 4 screws off of Ebay, and a screw pack for the computer, 500GB Crucial MX200(which comes with Acronis), and a Sata/usb cable.   I chose to do the factory refresh, then clone method, easy business. 1. Make a list of all your programs, verication keys etc and gather up all the software you'll want to re-install.2. Back-up all your important files.3. On the P775 hold down 0 when you start the machine and follow the instructions.  It'll boot into the Safe Mode screen, select start normally and it will take you to the screen you'll need. follow the instructions.4. Once windows is re-installed, I installed my anti virus, and downloaded Acronis.5. Next I plugged in my new external hard drive into the usb cable and cloned the drive.  After that it's standard business of install your software updates etc. Computer Install:1. Unplug power, remove battery.2. Remove the L shaped center panel and the 2nd removalable panel next to it.(At this point I studied the computer case and the little sata board that was ordered and it was obvious this part was meant to be installed in this computer.  So instead of cutting plastic I opted to open the case up and install the card properly with two screw from the screw pack I ordered.)3.  Remove every screw you see on the bottom of the computer,  there's a silver screw underneath the primary hard drive that needs to come out to remove the keyboard. 4.  You'll need to remove the keyboard, start by using a thin knife and pri from the outside forward corners closest to the screen it will lift up and pop out.5. Disconnect the touch pad ribbon cable.6. The case just un-snaps from there, easy business.  Be gentle though.7.  Since you have case open might as well clean your fan and cooling fins, the fan is removed via one screw.8.  Once you have the top case open you'll see a small space where this little card you purchased needs to be installed.  Route the ribbon cable through the little slot it needs to live in and connect it to the motherboard.9.  Ok put your computer back togethor, don't forget to lock the keyboard ribbon cable or all your key will decide not to work very well, yup I screw that up.10.  Next install your new hard drive in the new caddy, take your old hard drive an install it into the secondary slot, it locks inplace just as Toshiba designed it,  the screw on the hard drive caddy have slots they lock into.  No need for spacers, both covers have built in spacers that also prevent the hard drives from moving away from the sata connectors. Your done!  Install your software, do the million windows updates, and your golden.  My computer runs better than it ever has, this SSD config is the way to go.  Love it. Thanks again Netlander for your inspiration!  Cheers!  

  • Moving all FCP content to a new drive, need advice!

    Well, I just ran out of space on my FCP scratch/capture/content drive, an external 300gig. So I got this snazzy 1tb drive that is bootable and empty. What to do? How do I copy all the FCP content to the new drive, and what implications does have to all my FCP Studio projects that exist on my internal drive? Am I going to have to relink everything...and more importantly, is there a chance of messing up my projects here?
    I was hoping to just somehow clone the volume on the old drive to the new, and blow away the old drive for other uses (TM) and fake out the OS to think nothing has changed. But when I looked in drive genius under duplicate volume, it warns me it will delete EVERYTHING on the target drive. Arg, no good. And in CCC it warns me it will make the target non-bootable. Double Arg. So what to do?
    thx
    coocoo
    ps. I started a somewhat related thread here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8405889#8405889
    as most of my aperture content is also on this FCP content drive and I need to move that too!
    Message was edited by: coocooforcocoapuffs

    Arg, I did that, just a simple copy to the new drive and some of the assets where found and some not so i had to use that dialog "reconnect media" which must be the most confusing dialog in all of Leopard, and managed to reconnect everything in this very large project in process (heaven help me if I ever have to go back to the others), but now the problem is there are many things that are unrendered. Mostly the Motion imbeds. But in the System settings FCP figured out to just change the drive name to all the cache definitions, so not sure what to do about that except re-render all the timelines. Well, I knew it was not going to be easy!

  • Hi - my Imac's hard drive keeps starting and stopping, when the imac is idle.  The Imac is working perfectly otherwise.  Any ideas?

    Hi my 4 year old Imac's hard drive keeps starting, whirring briefly, then stopping, when the machine is asleep.  Doesn't do it when in actual use.  The Imac is working perfectly otherwise.  Any ideas?

    Gracias mi amigo; there are a lot of options on the side bar in console, but I think I can see the issue - calendar agent - thousands of entries, all identical. Recently installed outlook 2011, so ? conflicting with Ical?

  • Second drive is slow

    I'm working on a dual 2.7 G5 with dual 400 gig harddrives and I've been having trouble with dropped frames. After reading several post I now understand that I should be saving all my imported footage on the second drive, the problem is I only have trouble when the info is stored on that drive.
    It seems to have a long lag when it is accessed, so I only use it for storage. Is this normal. The real problem seems to show itself when I have files on both drives.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Try turning off searchlight on the second drive.
    The recommended configuration would have your FCP project (the file that contains sequences etc), autosave vault, etc on the System Disk and all your media on the 2nd disk. I would keep the renders with the media as well.
    this way, the disk workload is split between system and application (short fast reads/ writes) on one disk and the media (long continuous read/writes) on another disk.
    Also, run disk utility repair disk/repair permissions regularly. I also highly recommend regular use of Diskwarrior to optimize directory organization.
    good luck.

  • Unlinking User folder from second drive

    Several years ago, I ran out of space on my 160GB drive and added a second. I found a help thread that told me how to link the Users directory from my system folder so that all user information was on the second drive, but "appeared" to be on the first. A side effect was that the second drive could not be unmounted.
    I've reached the stage where both of those drives are now full, and I'm replacing them with one larger drive, and then reusing the second drive as a Final Cut Pro download drive. I've moved the user files from both drives to the new larger one, but I know I need to "undo" what I did years ago, as the user folders are not functioning correctly (they're still pointing to the second drive). I thought I had saved the command, but can't find it. Any thoughts?

    A few questions:
    is the '[' in front of 'dr' in your third line a typo?
    is the semicolon in from of 'users' on the second line a typo? And isn't it 'Users' ?
    I see that it is the Users directory you dittoed.
    Let me look at what you did.
    It is a symbolic link - your last line is "ln -s" which creates a symbolic /Users directory on your main HD but is really the directory on the Gobo.
    I believe that you can undo what you did by reversing things, but I am not sure.
    Some commands may no longer exist. For example I don't see the 'ditto -rsrcFork' listed, but it looks as if you created a duplicate of your existing /Users, transferred properties to the new /Users and then deleted your original /Users and then recreated a new /Users as a symbolic link to the new on on the other drive.
    While I am thinking, you might post this again in the Apple Unix forum where there are many experts who probably know infinitely more than I about this.
    Here's the link to our Unix forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=735
    It appears that if you clone your main HD as a bootable clone and then copy the /Users from the other HD onto the clone, it should work. You would have to remove the symbolic link, and then create a new /Users directory and simply copy everything into this new one from the old one.
    However, I strongly suggest backing up both HDs before doing anything, since you are tinkering under the hood and any mistake or error is liable to be fatal.
    If you don't get an answer in the Unix forum, post back here.
    Good Luck.
