How Can I Access Library Data on External Drive ?

i bought an ssd upgrade kit and had an apple tech install the ssd
i formatted and did a clean usb install of mavericks
i then put the standard 5400 drive from the mini into an external usb case
it all works great
but i cannot access the library files on the external drive
obviously if i hold option and go to "go" in the menubar, it takes me to the library on the new drive
how can i access library files (i need to get at the application support files for 1password) on an external usb drive ?
thanks

Open the folder containing the library, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu, and provide either Library/ or Library/Application Support/ as the path.

  • How to upgrade a Library on an external drive created in a previous version of aperture so I can re-import it from the external drive into Aperture 3.5.1 on my MBP ?

    I have exported earlier Projects [which were created in Aperture 3.4.5] to an external hard drive. Now I wish to reimport them into Aperture 3.5.1 - which I use after having upgraded to Mavericks - but am given an error message saying I can’t reimport because the external drive is storing a Library created by an earlier version of Aperture than I’m using now. It tells me to upgrade that externally stored Library.
    The Question - one can only upgrade a Library on one’s computer, not on the external drive. How can I upgrade it if I can’t get it back into Aperture [3.5.1] on my MacBookPro in the first place ?
    Thank  you

    You can upgrade the library on the external drive. Connect your external drive to your computer.
    Then select the library with the exported projects on the external drive and double-click it to open it in Aperture. This will upgrade the library to Aperture 3.5.1.  Since upgrading can sometimes be problematic, I recommend to make a backup copy of the library before you try to upgrade the library.
    After that you should be able to merge the library into your main library using File > Import.

  • G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
    If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
    If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.

  • How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

    How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

  • How Can I Keep Music on an External Drive?

    I've dealt with this issue before and asked questions about it, but I STILL don't understand how iTunes works when it comes to its "Library" "Media Folder" etc.
    Can anyone break it down for me exactly how it all works? Is there a good resource to explain it?
    The basic problem I have is the same one that many people have: I keep my actual music on an external hard drive. However, if I launch iTunes when that hard drive isn't plugged in, iTunes somehow changes so that all my music vanishes no matter what I do. Plugging in my hard drive doesn't help. iTunes has created a new Library that contains a list of all my music but with no idea where that music is. I try to tell iTunes where that music is, but nothing works.
    You'd think an easy fix would be to always plug in the hard drive first. However, even that doesn't help. iTunes will sometimes not see that hard drive when it is plugged in, and I have no way to predict when it sees the drive and when it doesn't. I start adding new music or podcasts, and it might all be being added to some new library iTunes created and I'm totally lost once again.
    On the Preferences/Advanced tab there is the option to change your Media Folder location, but that doesn't work. My music is on the external hard drive, but there is no Media Folder there. The iTunes Media Folder is here: My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
    I've read that you can hold down the Shift key when you launch iTunes and then you get the option to "Choose Library" or "Create Library." The idea is that iTunes has created a new empty Library and that you just have to select your old Library to get things back to normal. However, there is only ever one Library file listed. There is no new one and old one to select from. There is no Library file on the external drive, either. So I have no idea what I'm looking for.
    If I choose "Create Library", it then asks me for a "Folder name". I don't know what that is, either. I thought I'd just have to give my new Library a name. The more I try to deal with this issue, the more confused I get.
    To further muddy the waters, under the "General" tab on the iTunes preferences page, it lists my library as "Doug's Library", the name I gave it long ago. However, the option to choose "Doug's Library" never comes up. I've never seen a file with that name or a Library with that name. So what is that all about?
    I've used Windows Explorer to go into the iTunes folder to see what files are there, and then it gets more confusing. There is a file called "iTunes Library" and a second file called "iTunes Music Library." Why does the music have a second Library file?
    Any suggestions or guidance? There has to be a way to cut through all this confusion. I've had so many problems with iTunes along these lines that I've literally stopped using it to listen to music. It's just not worth the hassle. I spend far more hours trying "fix" iTunes than listening to music with it.
    Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
    Doug

    I do the same thing as you do...
    My music is on an external drive as to not use up gigabytes of storage that need not be used for media.
    There are a couple basic principles to iTunes that I believe you should know.
    1. iTunes is not a media storage program. It does not store your media "in iTunes". It simply is an organization tool for your media already on a hard disk.
    2. As iTunes is not a storage mechanism, it has no way to "know" whether or not the media that is listed is actually there. This is where the "design" of iTunes comes into play.
    I like to think of iTunes as a bread-crumb trail. The "music" in iTunes, isn't actually there. The bread crumb is the location on the external hard drive.
    If that bread crumb trail disappears (in this case the external drive you use). If said external drive is not plugged in, that bread crumb trail is not able to be followed. iTunes is "lost" and unable to find the media. The only way to remedy this is to place the media on your local drive.
    To address your issue of the library. If you hold down shift, you can select your library on your external drive. It will be a file with an .itl extension. The folder name will be your external drive.
    I go into edit > preferences > advanced and set my library to the correct location. Make sure you check the box "Copy to iTunes Folder when importing" (or whatever it says).
    You can't fix the issue of iTunes not seeing the media if your drive is unplugged unless you physically move the content to your OS HDD...Or any other HDD you use.

  • How to transfer iTunes library to an external drive (thats easy!) but keeping the playlists musics on the computer?

    How to transfer iTunes library to an external drive (thats easy!) but keeping the playlists musics on the computer?
    Many thanks!

    Select a single song with a broken link, press CTRL+I to Get Info, cancel when asked to locate the track and take a look at the Summary tab. Post back where iTunes is looking for the file. It begins file://localhost
    Where is it really?
    Please post back both paths so that I can make suggestions. Full paths please, exact spellings, you can replace your user name with <User> if needed.

  • How can I access RFC data in transaction? (SAP to MII rfc calling)

    If I keep the incoming RFC calling by message rules with category, then using the message actions to handle, that is a solution.
    But if I want process the incoming RFC data in transaction directly, how can I get these data?

    You will need to define an XML typed Transaction input property for processing the message synchronously.  Then in the processing rule for this message you need to associate the proper transaction and map the parameter.
    So essentially the transaction and input parameter mapping in your message services processing rule replaces the category setup that you already have working.

  • Managed Metadata fields using "entire path to the term" - how can I access this data?

    We are trying to make it easier for our users to enter metadata, so the hierarchy is really useful and we can display it as the "full path to the term".
    eg. country, region, town
    But there are times when we need an individual piece of data like region.
    Calculated fields do not work. :-(
    So I have been trying to access the data from a SharePoint Designer Workflow.
    But - I can only get to the leaf node element - the last value from the selection.
    Does anyone know a trick to get the full hierarchy string of Country-region-town???
    Many Thanks

    Hi Ruth,
    Per my knowledge, there is no OOB way to retrieve the entire path of the managed metadata column value.
    However, you can use the code sample to get the Managed Metadata Hierarchy, please refer to the link below:

  • How can I access the data on my time capsule remotely?

    I see the drive under the shared tab in Finder, but I cannot open it.  I am at school and need to access documents that are stored on my time capsule at home.  When I set everything up, I enabled "sharing over WAN" and everything and set up the password access. The software is up to date. How can I get into my drive? I tried logging into icloud.com, but the only apps I see are the standard contacts, notes, etc. HELP!!!!!!!

    You need to follow the BTMM via icloud instructions.
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
    There are plenty of other ways to do it.. but issues to do with Apple not using a dynamic DNS client so if your ISP does not allocate you a static public IP there is no way to find it, if the public ip rotates as they are designed to do hourly or daily.
    Do a google search, remote access time capsule..
    Or use the more like this on the right hand side... there are plenty of posts and even youtube video which go right through it.
    BTW your school system may simply block the port.. if I was a school IT admin.. I would. You are dragging files across to the internal school network bypassing the firewall.. that is unacceptable risk to the whole school system.

  • Satellite U400-124 - Vista don't boot so how can I access the data?

    I have a problem with my U400-124 when it loads Vista. It has a blue screen error when trying to start windows. It comes up with the boot repair program but that does not work. Therefore I have a question, unless someone can help with the above.
    I have the restore discs but I have to get some data off the hard drive. Is it possible to remove the hard drive, place in an external case and copy the data I need. Then place the hard drive back in and start the restore process?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Yes, this is no problem and you can do this.
    I did the same on my Satellite notebook. Its pretty easy because the HDD is removed in few minutes and so I can backup all my data on my other notebook.
    Such USB 2.5 SATA HDD adaptors are not expensive. Ask your local computer dealer or search on eBay. I bought my adaptor from eBay.
    Good luck!

  • How to Move iTunes Library on an External Drive to Another Computer

    How do you move your iTunes library (including all your playlists) if your iTunes media files—movies, TV shows, music, etc.—are housed on an external drive, rather than the local drive on your computer?
    The usual advice concerns copying media files from one computer to the next, e.g.:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    But if your media is on an external device, you don’t want to copy it, just access it from a new device. You could plug the drive into your new computer and drag the media into iTunes, but then you would lose your playlists and other information.
    Fortunately, you can transfer an entire iTunes Library using the Export/Import function. The essential information is found in an Apple support document, “iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists”:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    Using this information, we can create a procedure for transferring both the media files that are on an external drive and the iTunes Library that goes with it.
    Here is the procedure:
    1. On the old computer, Export the playlist, using File > Library > Export Library. Transfer the resulting file to the new computer.
    2. You might want to note the number of music files, TV shows, etc. you have on the old system. Select View > Show Status Bar, then choose the “List” view, and this information will be shown at the bottom of the iTunes window. Also disable sharing, etc.; you may want to deauthorize the computer as well.
    3. Close iTunes on the old computer, dismount and disconnect the external drive(s). (Yes, this will work with media on multiple drives).
    4. On the new computer, close iTunes and delete “iTunes Library.itl” in the iTunes folder.
    5. On the new computer, Connect and mount the external drive(s).
    6. Open iTunes on the new computer. Choose Preferences > Advanced. Deselect (uncheck) both “Keep iTunes Media Organized” (because it’s already organized on your external drive, right?) and “Copy files to iTunes Media folder” (because the files are on the external drive). Then set your iTunes Media folder location to your media folder on the external drive and click on “OK”. (Note: don’t close iTunes after this step, because it will automatically reset your media folder to your local machine rather than the external drive).
    7. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist and choose the file you exported from the old computer. This will import all the media you had on the old system into iTunes (no need to manually move anything from the external drive). The import will probably take some time.  (If you see that iTunes is copying files, you probably messed up Step 6; you can stop it and go back to Step 4 without harm).
    8. After the import, you can check the numbers you noted in Step 2; if there is a discrepancy that bothers you, check out the scripts “Music Folder Files Not Added” “List MIAs” and at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/.
    9. When everything is satisfactory, you can recheck “Keep iTunes Media Organized” and “Copy files to iTunes Media folder” in Preferences.
    10. You may now want to enable sharing, sync iOS devices, etc. Also be sure to set up your backup strategies on the new machine (you *do* have backups of your external drive(s), right?). If you already had some media on your new computer and you want to incorporate it into the external drive, choose File > Library > Consolidate.
    11. Oddities:
    * iTunes Extras must be manually imported.
    * Some of my movies & TV shows imported as “Home Video”.
    * Mobile applications did not import (presumably because no iOS device was synced).
    * Books that were once handled by iTunes are now handled by iBooks and will not import (to let iTunes see them again, you’ll need to add them manually to iBooks, then choose File > Move Books from iTunes). Audiobooks import okay, but you may have to authorize your Audible account.

    Or:
    Copy the iTunes folder from the old computer to the same location in your user area on the new one.  Attach the external drive and start iTunes.  If you have put it in your Home > Music folder the application will automatically know to look for it there and becausse you are using the same library it will be configured to look for media on the external drive.
