How do I move photo files and keep them connected in Elements 12

I have filled up the C drive in my PC with about 8,000 photo files. I have installed a second hard drive in my PC and want to move all of my photo files to what is now drive F. How do I do this while ensuring that the files remain connected to the thumbnails in Elements 12 when they take up residence on my F drive?

Even if you have the same folder structure, the organizer will find that the internal serial number of the drive is different and show all files as missing; you'll need to reconnect. That's why the backup and restore method is better. It also recognizes the need to upgrade (convert) the catalog format to the new version of Elements.
Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later

How do I export a file and keep the aspect ratio intact?

I'm exporting an edited scene from an external hard drive to a macbook but the video on the laptop is anamorphic (squished) compared to the original file on the hard drive. How do I export the file and keep the aspect ratio intact?

Please give the exact specs of your project. If the material is anamorphic, aspect ratio display is a function of the playback device. What is it?

How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg

How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg. Ive tried and it seems to go through the files but doesnt seem to process them or store them in the selected folder

Yes that was the first thing I did. Then I used the process multiple files and selected a new folder to put them in and selected use open files and selected to turn them into jpeg. The images flash on the screen like they are being processed, but the folder never appears in library. Is it possible because there are a couple 16 bit files open that this corrupts the task. Do I need to create the folder first. Will elements not create the folder on its own.
Thanks Vince

How to backup movie/photo files onto external HD?

hard drive is running out of space & while I have a time machine, I don't think it works for this purpose- I want to be able to access the photos & video clips to work on projects in imovie & elsewhere (photobook sites, etc). do I need to do anything more than copy & paste/drag & drop the files from my computer to the external HD? Is there a specific way to do this? I may also save some Word & Excel docs but mostly video & photo since they're hogging up all my hard drive... I'm just so nervous about deleting them off the computer & potentially losing them forever .
thanks!

You can move your iMovie files to an external drive. YOu must do this within iMovie so that your projects continue to work.
First, your external drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). You can right-click on the drive and select Get Info to see how it is currently formatted. The external drive can be USB or Firewire. Both will work, although a Firewire drive will be faster.
If your drive is not already formatted like this, you can reformat using Disk Utility. Let me know if you need detailed instructions on using Disk Utility for this. Keep in mind that if you reformat your external drive, it will erase anything that is there now.
To move your projects and events in iMovie, first click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK.
In your Project Library, you should see your internal drive and all properly formatted external drives. Hold down the Command Key as you drag the small project icons to the small icon for the external drive. You must hold the command key down as you drag, because this will MOVE the file. If you just drag, it will COPY and you will not save any space.
Next, do the same thing for your Events in the Event Library. Hold down the Command Key as you drag the small event icon to the icon for the external drive. Repeat for each event.
It is quite possible to move your iPhoto library as well. I have only done it once, so I suggest you ask this question at the iPhoto discussion.

How do I move an event and keep the favorite clip selections?

Hi all,
I have to move several events from one external hard drive to another. On many of these events I've already started selecting favorite clips. When I moved my first event it erased my favorite selections. Not good. That took a lot of time and work. How do I move events and save the favorite clip selections within each event?
Thanks,

It would be a good idea to learn iPhoto - the iPhoto '09 tutorials will help - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. and there are iPhoto '11 tutorials under the help menu
A small investment of time now will save a lot of time and lost photos later

How can I enlarge my tabs and keep them the way I set them? My page zooms in and out but my file, bookmarks, etc. tabs stay the same size.

using the view tab, I select Zoom. Zoom in only increases appearance of web page. The tabs (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools and Help) all remain the same size! Way too small to read! This sucks and I don't LIKE IT!

That sounds very handy. Nice going. A kind of backup would be to
create a folder in the Bookmarks Manager, and keep a list of links there.
Just one note. The sessionstore file shows the last windows / tabs that
are open. Because the window with the 90 tabs was closed first, then the
other, that is what caused your issue.

Is it possible to save files to one desktop so that they remain on that desktop and don't follow to other desktops when swiping between them? I want to save files and keep them on desktop 2 so that I can keep desktop 1 free of files but they follow.

I want to keep my school files on desktop two so they are all in the same place, and use desktop one as a place to perhaps save photos or other files not school related. When I swipe between desktops, the school files move between the desktops as I swipe but I want to keep them on one desktop all the time.

No, that can't be done. All desktops will show what is in the 'Desktop' folder in your home folder.

Hi. How I can find other files and remove them?

I have 42 GB of other storage, how can I delete it? I dont believe that osx is 40 GB large. Waiting for some advice, searched the web, but there is nothing really helpful.

"Other" is the category when a file is not one of the other categories (Audio, Movies, Photos, Apps or Backups). So these are files like documents (probably stored in the "Documents" folder for your user).
You are not really short on disk space... so is there a problem?

How to compile other java files and run them from my own programs?

I'm developing a unit testing tool for AspectJ, which can originally generate the stubs for aspect unit to be tested. All these stubs are java files. After generation of stubs, how can I program the code to compile this unit together with these stubs, i.e. how can I put the functionality of compilation and run, e.g. command "javac *.java" and "java *", into my own code.
Hope you can understand what I mean.
Thank you in advance.

When I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command) for executing the AspectJ compile command "ajc", "IOException createProcess error=2" always occurs, while it is ok for Java comiple command "javac".
Why this happens when I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ajc Hello.java Test.aj")? Is it the reason that Runtime.exec(String) may not support any command in DOS?
(ajc is the compile command for the java file and aj file.)
Thank you in advance.

How do I convert AAC files and put them on my SD card

Hello all,
I'm trying to convert some of my itunes track unto my sd card and then play them with my zen. ? The problem is I can't figure out how to get zen media explorer to put the converted files on my sd card. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem? Any help and information is very much appreciated.

Yes, they do. What they don't answer is "How do I configure <insert random media management application> to convert tracks between different audio formats and DIRECTLY store the converted output to the SD card I have installed in my Zen?
Why not? Because it isn't really possible. The internal memory of the Zen and the SD card contents are completely distinct storage areas and are not simultaneously visible to the host computer. You either have the Zen in MTP mode where you can interact with the internal memory or you have the Zen in Removable Disk mode where you can interact with the SD(HC) card. It is an either-or proposition. So you must (a) convert your music files to a location on your host computer, (b) put the Zen into Removable Disk mode, (c) transfer the converted files to the SD card and then (d) restore the Zen to MTP mode (where you can use the Memory Card menu items to browse/play the files).
I suppose I could pull back on the "not possible" part a bit since a stand-alone audio converter should allow you to set a user-specified output folder. As such you could put the Zen into Removable Disk mode first and then configure the converter to send files to the approriate folder on whatever dri've letter the SD card gets mapped to.

I think I want to start with (a), now can I use Zen media explorer to convert the files and place in another location on my computer or I must I download a 3rd party application to do this?

SonicStage/Atrac3 files--How do I import these files and convert them??

This is my problem.
I used to have SonicStage, I no longer do, but I found some of my old CDs that I made using that program, but the atrac3 files(I believe that's what they're called) aren't compatible with Mac, so now what do I do? I've never converted anything in my life, are there any apps I could download that will rip the unreadable files from my old CDs and convert them into usable mp3 (or whatever) files?
This is all very foreign to me and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How can I move both files and ratings to another computer?

On my desktop, I didn't let iTunes manage my music as my desktop is old and the c drive has limited space. I have backed up the music and I have also saved the iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml files in the hope of being able to transfer my music to my laptop and retain all ratings information I've spent so much time setting up.
I've copied all music from my desktop to my notebook under the iTunes Music folder. I've also copied the .xml and .itl files. In iTunes I'm happy to see that my ratings info has been preserved but iTunes cannot seem to find my files. I've made sure that my iTunes music folder is correctly set. I've also tried to manually change the g:\ reference for file locations in the xml file but it seems this doesn't help because as soon as I open up iTunes again it sets everything back to the g:\ location. How can I fix this without manually pointing every song to where it now lives on my laptop?
thanks,
glen
PS Even worse is that I tried the consolidate library function on my desktop and now my desktop is in the same boat. Can't find the files unless I manually point to where they are.
