How do I keep only the cropped portion of a clip and trash the rest?

Before getting my new Macbook, I was using iMovie3. When I would crop a file, only the highlighted portion was kept and the rest of the clip was sent to the trash. With iMovie HD, it is my understanding when you crop a clip, the information outside the cropped area is stored somewhere - how do I send this unneeded portion of the clip to the trash? I have used up almost all the memory in my new computer and don't know how to free up space without deleting the entire clip.

Hi m
You can't: As standard. iMovie is a "*non destructive editor*" - means it stores
the Capture/Imported material in one place and Your cutting, editing etc. is just
a text document refering onto how this material is to be viewed.
Even if You only usesed one frame from an hour long import - all of it will be
saved for futhure changes. (1 hour = about 13Gb of space)
You can: Send movie back to Camera and a new miniDV tape. Then start a new
project from this - and delete Your old project.
This will free up space - but You lose the ability to adjust the prior editings,
texts and so on.
Alt is to save as full quality QT.mov and start a new project from this. Still
what's done is done - but You jump the Camera step. (I have the feeling of that
I get a quality loss this way - but several in this forum disagrees)
Advice:
1. Try to Capture/Import about what You need and not just dump in several hours of
material for a few minutes movie.
2. I use a hugh external FireWire hard disk (Mac OS Extended formatted) to store
my movie projects and a minimum of 25Gb free space on my internal (start-up) one.

Hi JN and Barry,

This may not be the case for all regions.
Remember that the month is only the display, and the Full Date & Time is still there. If I change the format to reveal what is behind the curtain:

How can I keep only the photos i like in my hard drive ?

lets say i download 10 pictures from my camera to my library.
i dont like five and send them to my trash bin.
then i modify them all five and everything looks allright in my iphoto library.
And then i go to my hard drive and i have 20 photos!
but i only want in my hard drive the five i previously chose and modified and are in my library.

Hello, giru san,
Welcome to the discussions.
First, I think you need to understand a bit of how iPhoto is designed to work. When you import your photos into iPhoto, iPhoto stores your original photo in its iPhotoLibrary file called Originals. That way you always have the original photo. If you make any edits, then iPhoto puts your edited photos into its Modified file. In addition, iPhoto creates thumbnail versions of your photos. So, after importing and editing you will have three sets of photos. That is just how iPhoto works.
Have a look at the posts of smtr, Terence and Old Toad for more explanation here
You may also find it useful to look at the Apple tutorial for iPhoto
When you have iPhoto open, be sure to look at the Help files for a lot of information and explanation of how iPhoto works.
Also, don't ever change, rename or move anything from the iPhotoLibrary files on your hard drive. Do all your iPhoto changes from within iPhoto. If you change or rearrange those files you can seriously damage iPhoto and may lose your photos. See this Don't tamper with iphoto files

How does one print only a highlighted portion of a document?

How does one print only a highlighted portion of a document?

If the App supports that, it would be in the Print dialog. Otherwise, copy and paste the section into something else to print.
The OS doesn’t render pages to print, the App does. The App must support rendering the selection.
You can create an Automator workflow that automates the copy/paste/print/quit functions.
Just create an new Automator Service and make it look like this:
The text of the Applescript is this:
on run {input, parameters}
     tell application “TextEdit"
          print document of front window
          close document of front window without saving
          quit
     end tell
     return input
end run

How can I sync ONLY the top photo in the stack?

I sync various Aperture photo albums to my IPad and iPhone. The problem is that when I have 'stacked' images (eg. one image showing in the album and two other copies 'hidden' underneath), all of the photos in the stack are copied to the ipad and iPhone. So instead of seeing just one version of an image, I see as many as are in the stack. How can I sync ONLY the top photo in the stack?
Thanks for your help!

I solved my own problem.
The sync problem seemed to only occur on smart albums. There is a new check box option in Aperture 3 when making a smart album: "sync stack pick only." One click and the problem is solved!

How can I print ONLY the active document?

Whenever I go to File/Print the darn PSE 9 program sends all of the working files in the bin to the printer. I've searched online for 2 hours now looking for an answer.
I like to work with having several to many files in the 'bin' and prefer to only print the active file I'm currently working on without having to close the 'working files' before I can print. How can I print ONLY the active document or file in the project bin? Please help, I've upgraded from PSE 3 to PSE 9 and really like the updated features, but this one pain in the neck default is getting the best of me.

Thanks for your help, that works nicely. It is good to have control of the printer again.

How can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Using a Sony DSC-N2 Cybershot Camera I recorded video that was saved as “MOV01606.MPG”. The video plays back with sound in Quicktime Pro and iTunes but how can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your .mpg files to QuickTime formats.
QuickTime can't extract audio from muxed file formats.

How can I print only the attachment without the email content

How can I print only the attachment without the email content. Every time I send to print, It prints the email itself with the attachment- can I cancel that?

Hello Riklama,
When you first open the attachment (e.g. on your phone) than you can mail only that attachment. Works fine with my husbands blackberry.

HT1711 When I load one of my own CD's onto itunes, it creates separate albums for each unique pairing (ie: singer/composer or singer/orchestra). How can I keep all the cuts together on one album?

When I load one of my own cd's onto itunes, it creates separate albums for each unique pairing (ie: singer/composer or singer/orchestra). I end up with
the cuts scattered over several albums. How do I keep all the cuts on an album together rather than divided between several albums? I'm brand new with this technology, so I need your information in simple terms. Thank-you.

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
The site could do with updating as some options have changed with iTunes 11, but the principles are the same.

how can i erase only the music i don't like from my ipod ?

Go to iTunes and erase all the songs you don't want from your library or check the "Manually manage music and videos" box, erase all the songs from your iPod and only put the songs you want or check the "Sync only checked songs" box and check every single song in your library (Crtl+Click on a check box (if on PC)) and uncheck the ones you don't want.
