How can I open an AEP project and make all media OFFLINE?

Hi There,
I am working with an AEP file that is on the network that has pretty heavy media files linked to the project. Every time I open the file over the network, AE takes FOREVER to open it. I remember somebody showed me a way to open up a file and making all the media offline. Something like holding ALT when pressing the open button on the Open File dialog. Although, I can't remember if this is right. I'm on a Mac, and I'd like to know if there is a way to do this so I can open up the project without waiting, and simply link the files that I really need to be linked so I can work quicker.
Anybody have any suggestion? Thank you for your time and help!

>You can just change the name of the folder where your sources are stored.
That works well for Windows, but Mac OS is a little trickier. The OS keeps track of folder name changes (even on network directories) and will re-direct requests appropriately. Very cool for users, very bad if you're trying to fool a program like AE. (Had to struggle with this about a month ago to offline some files.)
The only way I was able to make it work was by changing the name of the folder from a different computer while the main computer was disconnected from that server.

How can i open the directory/folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it?

How can i open the directory/folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it? any example would be nice.
thanks

In the File I/O>>Advanced File Functions Palette is a function named "List directory". This function will give you two arrays. One contains the names of all subdirectories the other the names of all files. If you want to sort them by name use the array sort function. If you want to sort them by another attribute use the File/Directory Info function to get more data. Use a cluster which contains the attribut to sort and the original index of the name. Then sort this array.

Hi Denes,
I just thought that the example you pointed the OP to, is far more complex than what I understood he needs. The OP was talking about using a button, which I thought was a very basic and simple case. Your example is much more complicated. If memory serves, the radio group item, at the time (prior to 3.1 fieldset) behaved differently, so you needed to create a new value retrieving function, and then was the need to preserve the items show/hide status upon reloading the page. In short, I thought maybe I didn’t see the complexity in the OP post, but it seems that his requirement was indeed a simple one.

How can I get iTunes to locate and play all my music files?

How can I get iTunes to locate and play all my music files?

I have this problem too. I am researching now. Here is what I know so far. If you right click a song then get ifo the it will say Protected AAC or purchased AAC. Protected wont play on sonos, purchased will play on sonos. It seems that all my protected were purchased 2005 to 2009 or so. I am trying to find out if apply will convert these for a small dfee or if I use the itunes cloud these tunes will convert for me. downloading and reloading is not an option for me. Pretty much a money grab by apple either way. I am sure Steve is smiling.

How can I open a fcp7 project in the new logic pro X?

How can I open a final cut pro 7 project in Logic Pro X?

What are you trying to achieve? FCP7 is a movie project format, not to mention it's years old while Logic is a music sequencer. If you try to add audio and soundtracks to a movie you'll need to export the movie file and add it as a video track (just drag and drop) to your Logic project. You may want to do your editing in Logic with a LoRes version of your movie, than export your work to a lossless audio format and put that file in your Final Cut for HiRes export. Logic Pro also supports region positions as SMPTE (e.g. in the event browser), if that helps you synchronize some events.

How can I open files from Appleworks and Pages 4.3 in Mavericks?

I have documents I created in Appleworks and Pages 4.3 that I can't open in Pages 5.1 using Mavericks. How can I open those files?

Mavericks is the Operating System (OSX).
LibreOffice [free] may be able to open your AppleWorks files but probably not perfectly.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them.

How can I open a tdms file and replace a subset of data then save that change without re-writing the entire file again?

Hi all,
Is it possible to open a tdms file and make a small change an an array subset then save the file without having to save the whole dataset as a different file with a new name? That is to say, is there something similar to "Save" in MS Word rather than "Save As"... I only want to change a 1D array of four data points in a file of 7M data points.
I am not sure if this make sense? Any help is apreciated.
Thanks,
Jack

You can use either one, but for your application, I would use the synchronous. It requires far less setup. When you open the file, set both enable asynchronous and disable buffering to FALSE to enable you to use synchronous with arbitrary data sizes.

How can you use a format string to make all information in a string line up and stack up?

I am trying to post data on screen using "format into string" and make all data line up into one indicator string

Not exactly sure what you are looking for. Could you elaborate, or post a screen shot of what you are trying to accomplish. I would hate to give you an answer based on my interpretation of your problem.

How can I open FCP 7 projects in FCPX with Yosemite?

I can no longer get FCP7 to open than thus cannot export an XML file from FCP 7 to then use the 7 to X app. Is there any other way to open old projects in FCPX? I uninstalled 7 and now cannot re-install it either, so much for THAT solving the issue!

Unless you know someone with FCP7 who can open your project (they don't need the project media to do this) and make an XML for you to convert via 7 to X, then your best bet is to get FCP7 reinstalled on your computer.
First, read this:
Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, Compressor 4: Installation best practices - Apple Support
Look for the topic "Installing Final Cut Studio (2009) applications when Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, or Compressor 4 from the Mac App Store are already installed", about 3/4 of the way down the page.
If the FCS discs won't let you re-install FCP7 (it is grayed out as an option) because it thinks FCP7 is already installed, then download FCS Remover from Digital Rebellion (free) to remove the legacy traces of the installation -

How can I open my existing AppleWorks and ClarisDraw drawings?

I purchased iWork and installed it. Now AppleWorks is gone. I don't remember agreeing to loose AppleWorks when I installed iWork. I can't open my drawings.
Anyway, if AppleWorks is not going to continue, does anyone know what current/supported/ongoing application can import or open ClarisDraw and/or AppleWorks drawings? I really don't want to throw out my existing drawings and start over from scratch. I have some that I have brought forward from MacDraw to MacDrawPro to Claris Draw, and with some difficulty, to AppleWorksDraw.
By the way, if you wanted a program that worked a lot like ClarisDraw/AppleWorks drawing application, and you were starting fresh, which easy-to-use, intuitive, simple, not expensive, drawing application would you use?
Thanks.

Hi D,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
As Roger has already noted, SHOUTING is frowned upon here. Please lose the capitals. A second item of forum courtesy: Since your question has little connection with the topic of this thread (opening Drawing documents), it should be posted as a New Topic. Doing so makes your question and replies to it easier to search for anyone coming later with a similar question.
Regarding Bento:
From what I've read so far, Bento can import only CSV text files. To convert an AppleWorks DB to CSV is a two step process, and one or both steps will require AppleWorks.
Step 1: Open the DB file (requires Appleworks 6), Choose List or a laytout that contains all fields, Save as...ASCII Text. This creates a tab delimited text file.
Step 2: Open the text file into an AppleWorks Word Processor document (or into any other WP or Text Processing application that supports Find/Change), use Find/Change to Find all the tab characters (\t) and Change them to commas (,). Save the result as ASCII Text. In the Finder, remove any suffixes from the filename and replace them with ".csv".
The .csv file should be importable into Bento.

Barry

I need to update to 6.0 but it doesn't work--I've tried several times and it never gets past the stage of "connecting to update server"--so how can I update without uninstalling first and losing all my bookmarks and passwords?

I have a MacBook Pro with Lion. Every few days Firefox will tell me, "you really need to update to 6.0," and I say, "yes please!" but then it says "connecting to update server" for ages and ages and nothing ever happens. I wouldn't mind uninstalling the old one and downloading a new one, except that I have lots of bookmarks and passwords saved, and I don't want to lose them all. So what's going on, how can I update?

Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
Thanks again,
Rob

How can I reinstall my mail accounts and get all my mails back?

My internal HD died a few days ago . Fortunately I did a Time Machine backup a couple of hours before it happened .
Now my MacBook Pro is back from the repair center, with a brand new HD and Mac OS 10.6.8 installed (the system I had) .
But how can I get all my mails back? Indeed I used Mail to manage many mail accounts, and some of the inboxes or local mailboxes contain messages that are a few months if not years old. I coud reconfigure my accounts, but then I only get the mails of the last few weeks downloaded (those that were not erased from the pop3-server). Is there a possibility to get all the mails (including outbox) as it was before the crash?
By the way, I'm also still looking for my address book and my iCal calendars !!
Thanks for help.

I have a MacBook Air, bought in 2010 or 2011. It is running OS 10.6.8.
I have an iMac that is the same age as my MacBook Air. My iPhone is 2nd or 3rd generation.
None can support "the Cloud". I use gmail and my iPhone and both computers are all synced.
I can't get email on my new iPad that does use "The Cloud".
Please help.

How can I apply color to black and make it accurate?

Hello,
I have an illustration that is black, white, and shades of gray. I want to apply a color to the black, and have all the grays become tints of that color. I have tried different blending modes and I have tried monotones, but I don't think either of these techniques are working. When I go back to check the color, it's a different color, and it prints looking different than the color I had selected.
Do you know how I can make this happen?

May I suggest: Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Black & White, then use the Tint facility.
Personally, I often find it more handy (and providing more control) to use a Curves adjustment layer above all the others. Grab the curves of individual color channels and pull them this way and that to alter the color of what's underneath. It's not hard to keep whites white, blacks black, and give the stuff in between believable coloration.
