How do I get files onto scratch disc?

I seem to have FCP X set up so that it uses my scratch disc yet my main Mac drive keeps filling up as I work on projects. In the project hierarchy it shows the two drives that I have and my projects (events) are listed under my scratch disc. Anyone have any suggestions?

In FCP X, in the Event Library, the Action Menu at the bottom of it (looks like a gear), select "Group Events By Disk", and you can see what is on what hard drive.
In the Events Library, you can click and drag Events from one drive to the other. This is the safest way to do this, so that the internal database of the Event updates to reference the drive it's on.
Right click on a Project in the Project Library, and Copy it along with it's Events to the drive you want it on.
You can right click on Events and Projects to "Move to Trash", in order for the appropriate databases to update cross references.
Do everything inside of FCP X to be safe.

How to burn movie files onto a disc for others to use not just watch?

Hi! I used my video camera to record my sister's wedding ceremony and other little clips throughout the day. I want to give her those files to use however she wants. I don't want to edit them or give them to her as a watchable DVD.
I want to be able to burn them onto a DVD-R and then she can upload them onto her computer and edit/manipulate them as she pleases.
Problem is, the ceremony video alone is 9.28 GB! How can I get her these files? Thanks!

Not if any single file is 4GB or larger; this is the size limit for FAT32 drives. The OP stated that one file was 9GB.
Good point - I've kept a small, portable drive formated with FAT32 to transfer an occasional small file to my PC friends.
Mac OS X 10.6.6 can read and write exFAT
Since not all my systems use Snow Leopard, exFAT isn't yet an option for me.

I have a G4 Quicksilver that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new iMac?

I have a G4 Quicksilver 2001 that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new late 2013 iMac?

Also, how do I boot the G4 into FireWire Target Disk mode?
First, the G4 must be able to start to use FWTDM. If it can start, hold the t key at boot until you get a "screensaver pattern" that looks like this:
If the G4 is attached via a FireWire cable to a newer Mac with a FireWire port, the G4's hard drive will appear on the other Mac's desktop just as if it were any external drive. A USB cable won't work for FWTDM.
Just wondering if the drive in my G4, which I believe may be an ATA drive will also work in an enclosure for a SATA drive?
No. ATA (actually "PATA" or "IDE") and SATA are different interfaces. PATA external enclosures are now very hard to find. You best and least expensive option is the adaptor that BDAqua linked. One of its connectors is for PATA drives.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Assuming it's in the correct format, select your phone from the device list in iTunes on your computer, select the music tab and check the music you wish to sync.

How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names? Message says "file already exists in catalog"

I am viewing your question from different perspective, that is, the issue that you face when you are ripping VOBs from a second DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc using Premiere Elements,
It is best to give the Premiere Elements version and computer operating system that it is running on. In the absence of that, I will generalize.
Assuming that you are using
Premiere Elements 12
Add Media
"DVD Camera or Computer Drive"
Video Importer
Typically the Video Importer Save In: is C:\Users\Owner\Videos
Each of your DVD discs is going to have the same names for the ripped VOBs (VTS_01_1.VOB and so on depending on the duration of the movie). Consequently, after the ripping of the first DVD's VOBs and their save to Videos, you will end up with that "files already existing..." block for the ripping of the VOBs from the second DVD.
The answer is, for each DVD disc VOB ripping, to plan ahead and create and set for different folders in Videos in the Save In field of the Video Importer.
Please review and then let us know if that works for you. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Thank you.

What does it mean when I get the message "scratch disc is full"?

Trying to work on Photoshop and I'm getting the message, "scratch disc is full".

Ultimately here is the deal. Like OS X and Windows do at the system level, Photoshop will grow a virtual memory scratch file on your hard drive if you don't have enough RAM to do what you are trying to do.
That means, step 1 in preventing the scratch file is to put more RAM in the Mac so that Photoshop doesn't run out so fast and have to shove data off to the disk to make room.
Step 2 is to put the scratch file on another disk. This is why pros have often used desktop towers, because you can put multiple disks inside them. For example, system on one disk with lots of free space, photo library on another disk so it can grow freely, and another disk that is used exclusively to hold scratch files for Photoshop and other programs that need to do the same thing like Apple Final Cut. Splitting the data streams (system, file access, scratch) like this also speeds up the machine considerably since they're not all trying to use the disk at the same time.
The way you put the scratch file on another disk is to go into the Photoshop prefs, click Performance, and assign one of your other disks as a Scratch Disk there. (Use a fast disk, not a network or USB 1.0/2.0 disk, and partitioning your main disk will not help.)
If you do this, you don't need to change your main disk at all, you don't need to manually move any files off of it. Because by moving the scratch file off your main disk, the 58GB of free space you have there will now be plenty.
I used to use a PowerBook with an external monitor as a Photoshop machine, and plugged in a FireWire 800 external as a scratch disk. Even just doing that helped a lot.

You need 10.7.5 or later for iCloud.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

How do i burn files onto a DVD??

I got a NEC 2510A and it didnt come with any software
I put in a DVD disc and windows doesnt seem to have the ability to burn files onto it like a regular CD-R.
I guess i have to use a program?
What is the most popular program for burning files onto DVD discs? I am not copying DVD's just using the discs as backup for files.
Help thanks!

Adeptecs easy cd/dvd creator, also works and has improved greatly from 5.0. It now almost competes with nero, there is also discjuggler and several other burning suites. Depends on what you want to do and how much you want to spend. Probably nero will be your best option.

Dragging files onto a disc

I have recently got a new lap top. This one is a MacBook Pro, my previous one was a Power Book.
With my power book, if I wanted to put a file onto a disc I would just drag it.
When I do this with this computer it only drags a thumbnail of the file, not the file itself and it's contents.
Please help!

Thanks very much for your reply.
Still confused though, I'm sorry.
I'm putting movies onto a DVD to burn.
With my powerbook, with each movie I dragged onto a disc the file would show up on there with the amount of MB / GB it had.
Once the disc capacity was full it would indicate that no other files could be added to the disc.
Now any file I drag on only has a thumb nail at 48KB, regardless of how big the actual file is.
Is the disc capacity filled as it is burned then?
Would I 'manually' look up the file size of each movie and add them up so I know how many can fit on the disc, or is there an 'automatic' way of knowing this as there was previously?
ETA. Oh, and just in case it makes a difference my Mac is a 10. 5.8, so not actually a 10 . 6

I already have music on my computer but how do i get it onto my phone? Do I need to get it onto Itunes then download it?

If the music is in your music file or on an external hard drive (windows) then, on iTunes, go to file>add to library and then choose what you want to add. Then sync music to your iPhone and your done.

How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro?

How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro? It is 15 inch Retina display, and it is Version 10.9.1 . I download the game, log in and press play, but as soon as it finishes loading, the blue bar goes away and nothing else happens!
It goes from this:
To this:
And on the development console it says this:

Hello EpicEmma,
I just had this problem today!, but i have a SOLUTION ,
right click the finder icon and click "go to folder"
type : "~Library/ Application Support
Find the minecraft folder, Backup your Saves, (drag the saves folder onto the desktop) *OPTIONAL*
delete the minecraft folder, not the application.
Open the minecraft Launcher (it will take a while to start up)
Put in login info and when its loaded up, press "play"
The blue bar will take a minute or two...
And then... it should start normally
U dont need to repeat the steps every time u open Minecraft. You can later replace the saves folder with the new one back to where it was whenever you want at the same place where it used to be before. Hope this helped!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it
