Right now, I simply plug in my camera and import into the Pictures folder on the laptop HD
In Aperture, do you have a Managed or Referenced Library?
Is it possible that they're being imported into the iPhoto library
Not unless you have set up some form of Folder Actions - and you would know if you have. But a simple test: do your import actions as normal and then open iPhoto. Are the newest additions there?
would love to store the images> and videos on the external drive,
This is easy.
and store a smaller copy for viewing on the laptop itself without taking up a bunch of room.
No need for a smaller copy. You can still view in Aperture without the disk connected.
and still make edits? Or only make edits to the files while connect
You can only edit the files with the disk connected.

Help with my library and files

I am a little confused about the library and organization of my files. I use Aperture 3.0 and am constantly running out of disk space when I try to import my files. I feel like there are unnecessary duplicates being made of the pictures and video, but I can't be sure. I now have an external HD to store the pictures on, but need a little help figuring out what is the best way to go about doing this without losing any of my data and staying organized.
I would love to store the images and videos on the external drive, and store a smaller copy for viewing on the laptop itself without taking up a bunch of room. Is this possible to view while not connected to the external drive, and still make edits? Or only make edits to the files while connected?
Right now, I simply plug in my camera and import into the Pictures folder on the laptop HD. Is it possible that they're being imported into the iPhoto library (even though I don't use iPhoto anymore) and into Aperture?
Aperture library file (located in Pictures folder): 27gigs
iPhoto library file (also located in Pictures folder): 22.8 gigs
Pictures folder (including two above files): 110.7 gigs
Thanks for your help!!

Help with iTunes Library and External Music Management

Okay, this nightmare has been getting worse and worse over the past few weeks so let's break it down so people can understand what I'm trying to do.
1) I have music on both my internal laptop drive and external drives.
2) I want to have two libraries, one for the internal drive featuring all the music on my internal drive (and possibly some stuff on the external since that's how it currently is), and the other which is ALL my music from all my drives.
3) I want all new podcasts/itunes store content to save to my external drive.
4) I want the iTunes music folder to reflect which library I'm running (that is to say, if I am in my internal library, the iTunes music folder would be on the internal drive so if anything is copied to "itunes music library" it would copy to my internal, if on the external drive the itunes folder would be on the external drive and anything copied would end up there)
5) I want iTunes to keep each library organized.
6) for my External library I would LOVE to keep all my playlists, and iTunes store purchases in the library (something that didn't happen when I created a new library)
IS THIS POSSIBLE!?!
Basically here's what i did in the past. created a new library on the external and added all my music on the external to it. this caused it to organize everything fairly nicely. I then copied imported the XML data from my old internal library so I would get my playlists and iTunes store stuff to show up, along with anything on the internal drive. this cause MAJOR duplication issues (i have 3 copies of songs now in my external drive which Im going to have to sort through). I tried multiple libraries but everytime I switch back and forth my iTunes music folder keeps changing. (ie. the folder location will carry over to any library - not stick to just the one) This is a HUGE pain in the ###.
Basically, if I'm on the road I want to be able to open iTunes, it automatically launch my internal library which has everything in my internal drive, know that the music folder is "my username/music", and then when I come back home and able to plug into my external drive be able to launch that external library and it know that my music folder should now be "externaldrive/music".
i cannot seem to get iTunes to save this folder preference PER library. is this even possible!?! I just want this stupid thing to work!

As long as you don't have an existing library that is synced with a device or holds oodles of carefully crafted playlists, ratings etc. then...
Hold down shift as you start iTunes. You should get an option to choose or create a library. Click create, browse to root of the external drive and click save so that your library is say X:\iTunes where X: is the letter of your external drive. All new content downloaded to the library will stay on the external drive.
See this user tip for a backup strategy.

Help with my Library and songs please!

Ok, I tried to use my Flash Drive to save my music for if my PC ever crashed. Although when I improted my music to my Flash Drive it won't let me play my music on my PC itunes library anymore. When I click on a song to play.. it says something along the lines of this: "We cannot locate this file for use, would you like to relocate it?".
I have no idea what to do.
Thanks in advance!

Can anyone help?

HELP with FCS remover and removing files

I was using FCS remover to remove FCP2 for a clean install. When I ran the app, I didn't seem to have enough of disk space to install the whole studio. When I tried to install I had a few GB left on my disk so I didn't put on all the apps. Anyway, FCP didn't fully load. I went back and used FCS remover again, and no I dont' have any disk space. I think that FCS remover didn't uninstall any of the apps and what I installed a second time didn't uninstall my second install. I can drag FCP and other apps to the trash, but I think soundtrack was never removed.
Anyway, I need to go in uninstall everything that FCP has installed so I can do a clean install and reinstall FCP the proper way.
Again, How can I find all the FCP files to free up enough space on my HD

Help with importing library and how to authorize music to play

Recently I had to reformat my hard drive. As a result I am trying to transfer my itunes library back to the computer from the backup device. There doesn't seem to be a simple way to do this. I found an article online that suggested I could import the full library in one shot by putting it on the desktop and selecting it. This didn't work. So,
1. what is the fastest and most efficient way to tranfer back my songs
2. I find that some of the songs I have transferred already are "protected." So, I am getting a prompt to authorize the computer so the music will play. I have already authorized this computer again so when I do go through the motions w/the pop up box it tells me I have already done this. However, it will still not play the songs. So, how do I make it stop that mess and play my songs? I really don't think I should have to repurchase them.
Thanks

We have two apple ID's and two libraries. My daughter's IPOD is syncing with my library and I need to change this, but I can't figure out how.

We have two apple ID's and two libraries. My daughter's iPOD is syncing with my library and we really want to go to just one library--Mine for ease and we can't figure out how to do it. Please help!!!

Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.
Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID -

Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.

Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.

That shows you that iPhoto is working correctly and whatever issue you are having is based in your original library.
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 and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Yosemite finder crashes with previewig .txt and other files

Hello,
under Yosemite the Finder crashes with previewig .txt and other files.
Is this just my problem? Help please.
Thank you very much.
Regards.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Backing up library and referenced files

I download my images to an external F800 hard drive and organize them in folders labeled with the dates in which the download took place.
I manage them in aperture as referenced files.
I just got a second external hard drive for back up purposes. What is the best way to back up my library and referenced files?. My external hard drive allows daisy-chaining.
Sorry if this is too simple a question, but before doing something wrong I rather ask.
thanks for the patience and will to reply,
best
Mauricio

Backup the Aperture Library to your new drive using Aperture's Vault feature. Backup the folders of Masters by Finder-copying the folders to the new drive immediately after the folders are created. That should be a nice clean workflow.
Don't forget some type of off site backup to deal with the possibility of fire or theft.

Dreamweaver automatically duplicating and adding files

Dreamweaver appears to be automatically duplicating and
adding files to my site folder. The files are called by
eight-character/digit names and have no file extension. Why is it
happening and what can I do to stop it?!!!
its creats a randomized number, in a txt with all the HTML

This is not DW's doing. It's Spotlight. Set your
configuration to exclude
your local site folders.

I deleted some videos on my ipad before synching with my library, and now I can't find them. How can i get them back?

I deleted some videos on my ipad before synching with my library, and now I can't find them. How can i get them back?

Do you live in the United States? If you do then you can download them again for free - as long as the movies are available for free downloads. Apple has not forged agreements with every movie studio yet so you just have to check.
Launch iTunes, and tap on the purchased tab. In the upper left corner you will see a "View" button. Tap that in order to toggle among music, TV Shows and Movies. Select Movies and then see if the movies appear. If they do, tap the Movie icon and then tap the cloud icon next to the icon in order to begin the download.
You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to purchase them.
If you do not live in the U.S. then you will have to purchase them again.
