How do I output to an auxiliary USB drive from IMOVIE?

When using IMOVIE (ibook g4 1.33 ghz, 14.1 inch;60gb hd), How can I:
*capture cam footage to a usb hard drive
*route the finished imovie to the usb hard drive directly?
I am running out of native HD space and cannot reduce it anymore.

You can choose where to save the iMovie project when you create it. You can also Finder-copy existing iMovie projects to external HDs. Important: the external drive MUST be formatted as Mac OS Extended (NOT for PC, UNIX etc!) for iMovie to work properly!!
USB1 drives are way too slow so they don't work.
USB2 drives might work, but FW drives should always work.
With my setup USB2 seems to work but I haven't tested it in real work because my drive has also FW400/800 ports.
USB2 might be more prone to occasional hiccups than FW.

How can I re-install lion via usb drive on my new mba(mid-2011)?

how can I re-install lion via usb drive on my new mba(mid-2011)?
I just removed all data from main hd, and my network is not good enough to be able to download the os via recovery hd re-installing way.
in other words, is there a bootable [mac os x lion dmg] for my mba that I can download?

If you are looking for a download link for OS X Lion, I do not know of one. However if you really need the operating system you can buy a USB drive with OS X Lion on it, ready to boot. I think they're $69 at Apple's store. What I would do is contact AppleCare via the Express Lane or just call them and tell them your situation and then they will definantly have an answer for you to point you in the right direction.
Good luck!

How can I erase (or remove) the hard drive from a dead Time Capsule?

How can I erase (or remove) the hard drive from a dead Time Capsule?

I found this having had the same problem...
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=553818
Having removed the hard drive I'm finding I can't reformat it. I manage to mount the HD but Disk Utility crashes when trying to format (HD attached to Mac via Newer Tech. SATA cables to USB) and causes what I think is a kernal panic on my Mac which hard crashes. I see 3 partitions when attempting to mount one of which is AFP. Anyone got any ideas about how to do this? I've dug around but the only progress I've made is to note others have had to work around ACL's when replacing the logic board of the TC. Not sure if this even relates to the problem. However the tool for doing this seems to have been removed from SL. (Forum references to this procedure all relate to 10.5).

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb again?

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again? My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract. I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.

HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app"; see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

Create a bootable USB drive from an ISO

Hi everyone,
I want to create a bootable USB drive from e.g. a Linux ISO. On Windows, there are tools like UNetBootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/) for that. Is there s.th. similar on Mac?
Thanks in advance

Hi. The easiest way to do what you want to do is to scan it for restore, and then use the restore from disk image tool to write it to an external disk. All of this can be done with disk utility.
First you will want to drag the ISO image into the Disk Utility sidebar. Then you select the disk image (in disk utility) and click the Convert button in the top toolbar. I recommend using the "read only" image format and you'll have to add the extension .dmg to the file. When the conversion is done, the new image will appear in the sidebar. Select that image and then go to the Images menu and select Scan For Restore. You may be prompted for your administrator password. When the scan is done, connect your external disk. Then select the volume in Disk Utility (the thing with the name of your disk, not the model number), go to the Restore tab and drag the volume into the Destination field. Now you can drag the DMG disk image into the Source field and click Restore. You may want to check Erase Destination.
That should do it, good luck!

How do i install elements on a usb drive?

how do I instrall Ps elements on a usb drive?

You can't. adobe software can't be installed on external drives and it's not "portable" in the first place due to the activation system, so short of running out of disk space there is no rational reason to even try it...

How can I uninstall Yosemite on a USB drive?

I have a 2009 Macbook running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have found that various websites, especially ones with Flash, keep telling me my software is out of date and I have trouble playing videos. So I thought I should maybe upgrade to Yosemite, but I wanted to try it first. Several websites suggested I could install Yosemite on a 32 Gb USB drive as a triel and so retain my existing OS, switching between the two on startup by pressing the option key.
So I did it, was able to run Yosemite (slowly) from the USB drive, but when I tried to restart using the Option key, the Hard Disk option was labelled "Installer" and selecting it only started the installation process over again.
It appears that the Hard Disk is still intact, but I can't get back to my old OS. If I remove the USB drive before startup, absolutely nothing happens. It seems that the software or firmware that boots up has been reset and I need to know how to set it back again if that is possible.
I'm pretty desperate. I need to get back to Snow leopard and do a few things before I make a final decision on Yosemite. Can anyone help me please?

If you are currently on Yosemite have you gone into System Preferences and clicked the StartUp Disk option, this should give you a list of available disks that
can be booted to. Hopefully this will get you back to SL.

How to import m4a files in a USB drive and play them using iTune?

I have set the target directory of iTune to that USB drive, iTune just does not play them. The length of the playing is awful long. But in reality , they are merely 1min long reading when I listen to them using Window Media Player.

CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

How do I initialize/format a Lexar usb drive

The topic pretty much says it all. I put in a lexar usb drive and wanted to initialize in in OS 9.2.2 as HFS+ and can't figure out how to do it. I wanted to use it to back up some files without losing the resource fork, if there is one. Thanks for any info.

Grey Bird: Your question prompted me to boot my Powerbook into OS 9.2.2 for the first time in a long while. The Finder's "Erase Disk" command (in the Special menu) is happy to erase my Lexar JumpDrive Secure in either Mac OS Standard (HFS) or Mac OS Extended (HFS+) format. It does not offer the option of DOS format, and I suspect that's because the drive is currently in a Mac format. If it were currently in DOS format, I'm not sure the Mac formats would be offered as options.
If using the Finder command works for you, I heartily recommend avoiding the use of third-party disk formatters, not only because they cost $, but also because they may well give you headaches down the road that you can do without.

HT4959 How do I get Apple Mobile Device USB driver?

How do I obtain an Apple Mobile Device USB driver as without it I cannot load 10.6.1?

Install iTunes. 10.6.1 refers to a version of iTunes. 5.1.1 is the current version of iOS. I assume what you mean is you can't update your phone to 5.1.1.
You need to clarify what you have and what you are trying to do. Your profile says you have an iPhone 4S with iOS 4.3.3, which is physically impossible. All iPhone 4S's come with at least iOS 5.0

How to Issue Output for a Single Handling Unit from Shipment

Hi,
I would like to know how to issue an Output for a Single Handling Unit from Shipment, i mean i have attached an output type 'ZPN0' (Customised) to a Handling unit in the Tcode VT03N to a Handling Unit.
VT03N>click on Handling unit icon> select a handling unit --> go to Extras --> Output --> give the Out put type (maintained)) -- > saved.
Once i come back --> i did not find any option / icon to issue the output from VT03N for handling unit. We have an option to issue output for the Entire Shipment.
Tried alternative by going to VT70, give the shipment no, and output type for handling unit. When executed, Getting a message "No Messages Found".
let me know how to issue the output for a handling unit of the shipment. Only Handling Unit & not the entire shipment.
Regards,
Swapna

Dear Swapna ,

Single-user mode: How to mount and access an external USB drive?

My MacBook Pro HD is acting up. Cannot boot normally or into "safe mode". Cannot reinstall OS without wiping out the HD. Need to recover some critical files but DiskUtil First Aid and Restore options cannot successfully complete. Problem traced down to "invalid node structure" which means I either have a hardware problem or my filesystem partition directory structure is corrupted. I need to recover some files that are not backed up (timin issue with my regular backup process).
I can boot into single-user mode, mount the root file system (/sbin/mount -uw /) and can see/navigate the rot filesystem structure via good UNIX command line. Here's what I would like to do (in single-user mode):
1. Mount an external USB drive (250 GB already formatted as Mac OS X Extended)
2. Copy various files and/or directories from my HD to the external USB drive (UNIX cp command)
I realize I could go spend $$ for the Disk Warrior or Data Rescue products (or something similar) that SHOULD help me recover my HD or files, but it seems silly to do this when I can see, touch and taste them from within single-user mode....
Comments? Suggestions?
TIA --
Trent
P.S. Once I've recovered my files, I'll try to reformat the HD and then reinstall the OS. And THEN go have Apple look at my machine (thank goodness for AppleCare coverage)!

Resolution:
1) Boot system in single-user mode (SUM) with external HD attached.
2) Execute the following UNIX CLI commands once SUM boot process is completed:
# fsck -fy
# mount -uw /
# mkdir /Volumes/target_directory
# mount -t hfs -w /dev/diskXXX /Volumes/target_directory
# cp -RXv /source_directory /Volumes/target_directory
Where XXX is the device-level name for your external HD's data partition. In my case this was /dev/disk1s2. It may take some experimentation to identify this device name if your system has multiple HD's.
3) Verify contents were successfully copied onto the /Volumes/target_directory.
Comments and observations:
- Do NOT use "/" as your source directory - cp will make a second (redundant) copy of /volumes/target_directory
- I was able to successfully copy ALL files off my HD despite the fsck command's "invalid node structure" error message with this simple procedure. YMMV, depending on the state of your HD.
- The repeated disk0s2: I/O error warnings displayed during the SUM boot process did not seem to have a negative effect on this procedure. I also received this same error warning intermittently as I navigated the mounted filesystem did not seem to be a problem, either. Again, YMMV.
Commercial software:
I downloaded ProSoft Engineering's Data Rescue 3 product (trial version) before spending $99 to attempt to recover my "bad" HD's data via mounting to a good system with FW target mode. It could not successfully complete its "QuickScan" process and immediately hung on block 0 of 390M during its "Deep Scan" process. The product did seem to function properly on an operational system. ProSoft's technical support was responsive and helpful but had no answer for my "Deep Scan" error.
I did not attempt to use Alsoft's Disk Warrior 4 product. I could not find any trial software available and was reluctant to spend $100 based upon the mixed reviews and comments on this discussion forum as well as other reviews. Alsoft does claim to address the "invalid node structure" error in their marketing materials. Hindsight being 20/20 - I saved $100 by using this simple procedure.
Final note:
Neither Leopard nor Snow Leopard's installation DVD could recognize the bad internal HD when trying to do a reinstall. While DiskUtil was able to "see" the bad internal drive it immediately failed when I tried to do an "erase and format". Took the system to my local Apple store and the Genius ran a tool called "SMART Utility" from Volitans Software (www.volitans-software.com). SMART utility confirmed that my HD was bad so it was replaced. AppleCare pays for itself (once again!).
