How do i change the location of all my music to a diffeant drive

installed a new drive on my computer and want to transfer all music there, can iTunes do this or do I have to transfer manually
or do i have to uninstall then re-install itunes to new drive ?

Hello moses128,
The following article details the process of moving your iTunes Library. I would recommend the section that details utilizing an external hard drive, as this would best suit your situation, and does not require a second computer.
External drive
This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.

How to change the location of all fotos in the iPhoto library?

my iPhoto 11 library is stored locally on my macbook.
however, my fotos (the actualy bits) are stored externally on a NAS box.
(or in other words: option "Importing: [ ] Copy items to the iPhoto Library" is not checked)
recently i purchased a timecapsule and i now want to move all fotos from the NAS box to the timecapsule.
i am looking for a way to batch-change the location of all fotos from let's say "/Volumes/MyNas/..." to "/Volumes/MyTimecapsule/...".
can this be done? any ideas?
thank you.
ps: i know how to deal with xml and .db/.apdb files. so don't be gentle on me ;-)

Not really unless you search the forums and find the older post describing how to hack the SQLite database to accomplish this
Or use Aperture which can do this easily
However if you are using your Time Capsule as a Time Machine bakcup volume it is not a good place to put your photos - if you do you have no backup of them which means that sooner of later you will lsoe them - and sooner or later TM will fill the volume and make it impossible to add photos

How can I change the location of my Backups? (e.g. Word files)

I am wondering how I can change the location of my word doc. back ups. Everytime I make a new word document my computer makes a duplicate titled: " Backup [then the title I gave the word document]." I was wondering if I could make a single file to store all of the back ups. Currently they are in every file that the original is in. Thanks!

It depends on which version of Windows you are using but it will intitally be downloaded to the C: drive. The data is initially stored in the following locations:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
Windows 7 and Vista: C:\Users\[login]\AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
You will need to get enough free space on the C: drive to allow the download.

How do I change the color of all the text in a PDF?

Hi.
I have a large PDF, over 1000 pages. Some of the text is highlighted which makes it difficult to see on my preferred document background. In Acrobat XI how do I change the color of all the text in the document back to black please? Although solutions using any other software will be much appreciated too.
I searched this forum already, and the same question was asked back in 2007 when it appears the only solution was to use an expensive third party plugin.
Thanks.

I know of no new solutions since 2007 except the ones you found.
You could use the Accessibility Preferences > Change Document Colors to choose a text color. However, this is an individual preference and cannot be set as a default for others opening the document.

How can I change the settings of all instances of a particular effect?

I've applied the same color correction effect to a lot of clips in the timeline. Now I want to fine tune the color correction (same setting for all clips still). How can I change the setting of all instances of the color correction effect without going into each clip manually?
Looking forward to your thoughts on this!! Go on and save my cold winter editing day ...

I was first hoping for File> New > Adjustment layer, but it's always greyed out. I thought that would create an adjustment layer, maybe I'm misunderstanding something? Anyway, if I create a black video stump and then right click it and choose "Adjustment layer", it will turn into one, and everything works as it should with that. If the black video become adjustment layer is placed on a video track atop my video, and I add for example color correction to it, it will be applied to the videos below.

On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

You can set the default duration of stills but you have to do it before you start the project.
iMovie is not really suitable for stop motion videos and iMovie 10 is worse than iMovie 9 because the minimum still duration is not really controllable as you have found. I don't have experience of making such videos but there are 3rd party apps which appear more suited to this, for example http://www.macworld.com/article/1146623/stop_motion_Mac.html
mentions some of them, though its a bit old and you may be able to find more up to date information.

How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2

How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2? I'm used to working in the older version of iMovie where all I had to do was click on the gear on the clip and change the duration. ALso could use the tool bar to set the duration for all clips. Can't figure out how to do that in this new version. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the timeline select the clip whose duration you want to change. Click the adjust button at the top of the viewer and then click the i button and you can set the duration. For multiple clips select them all and in the i button type in the duration you want and it will be applied to all the selected clips. You can also change the duration of a clip in the timeline by putting the cursor over the beginning or end of a clip and dragging. A popup will show the new duration.

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

Moving the iOS device backup location
Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.

How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive

How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive or external hard drive?

The same way you change it on the internal drive; click on the name and wait a second or two for the field to drop into editing mode, then just type the new name. Or Get Info on the file/folder and change the name there.
Regards.

How can I change the location where iTunes saves iOS 5.1, new data, synchronized apps and other data?

My hard drive C is full. I changed the location of the mediathek to an external hard drive F and moved all media data there. Also, I synchronized my iPad with this new set-up. So far, everything worked out well.
Now, why is iTunes stll saving data, like the much needed iOS 5.1, to C? This actually makes it impossible for me to finally update my iPad, because my C drive is simply full!
Also, iTunes does not synchronize my iPad apps or my photos. When I try to synchronize them manually, iTunes starts to save data to my C drive. How can I change that to my external drive F?
In a nutshell, how can I move iTunes once and for all to my external hard drive F (or at least, to a different hard drive on my computer)? There is simply no space on my C drive for it at all.
Thankyou so much for an answer, I am literally going nuts right now!

How do you change the location of where your photos are stored?

How do you go about changing the location of where your iPhoto files are housed? I'm running out of space on one drive and want to move them all over to a drive that can house all of the current (and future) photos?

Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How do I change the location of the coldfusion-out.log and coldfusion-error.log files in CF10

When I change the log location in ColdFusion Administrator it changes the location of most but not all the log files. I have a requirement from my customer to place all log files on a separate partition on the server. For ColdFusion 9 I was able to modify the registry settings to change StandardOut and StandardErr for the ColdFusion Jrun service. This does not appear to the case for ColdFusion 10 which now uses Tomcat 7.
I tried modifying log4j.properties file and was able to relocate the hibernatesql.log, axis2.log, and esapiconfig.log but not the coldfusion-out.log.
I am running ColdFusion 10 Enterprise Edition on a 64-bit Windows 2008 Server.

The location of the rest of the ColdFusion logs can be changed in the ColdFusion Administrator. Go to the Debugging and Logging section, Logging Settings. There is a form at the top of the page where you can change the log storage location.

How can I change the color of all folders from light blue to another color?

My computer was just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and now all the file folder icons are pale blue on the desktop and elsewhere. My desktop is green and those light blue folders do not look good on a green background.
How can I change the color of the folder icons to another color?

Hi ys,
You appear to have taken a wrong turn on the information highway and would up in the backwater known as the AppleWorks forum. This is a place for discussion of issues and techniques connected with the now discontinued Apple productivity application AppleWorks.
Yours is a System question, concerned with how to accomplish something in the Finder, part of the Mac OS X software you recently upgraded. The question will be better served in the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard section of discussions. The link will take you to that section, where I'd suggest using the Finder and Dock forum.

Barry
