  • How do I view all "volumes" of my external drive?

    I have seagate external drive, and today I notice that my tivo transfer folder was gone. All the files are still there, but apparently, the drive now mounts as "Mac External/Volumes/Mac External 4"
    To my surprise, my tivo files are on Mac external 3, however I can not get that to mount except when I open my tivo transfer program, I see they are still there.
    How do I mount all the volumes of my external drive 1,2,3,& 4? I want to delete all these extra volumes and just have 1. I have no idea how I ended up with all these different volumes.

    There is nothing you can do to stop another computer writing anything it wants on a hard drive. No matter what you do to the drive, he could always reformat and do anything he wants. Can you send him data on DVD-R disks instead?

  • How do you export iPhoto albums to an external drive and have all the albums still labeled?

    I am having an issue exporting the iphoto albums to an external drive. When I do it, it either just drops all the pictures in together or it separates them by events, but my iphotos are arranged in albums, not events so that doesn't help.  Can anyone help with this?
    Also, I'm new to mac and i'm noticing iphotos has a lot of limitations...I can't save photos automatically to folders/albums in iphoto bc it doesnt show in the finder, I can't upload to facebook without doing it from iphoto, and I obviously can't save to external drive easily just yet.  Should I just be saving all of my photos in Pictures in the finder? Is there a way you can save them in pictures and then be able to open them in iphotos? I'm getting so frustrated and ready to go back to my PC. =(

    A couple of general comments:
    1. iPhoto is not compulsory. You don't have to use it.
    2. But if you do, then you're going  to need to make a small conceptual leap, and learn just a little.
    The Conceptual Leap: Your Files and your Photos are not the same thing. The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
    The Learning: iPhoto replaces the Finder (or file browser) for everything to do with your Photo. And I do mean everything. Organising, Editing, sharing with other apps, printing, uploading, whatever are all done either with or via iPhoto. It's you "go-to" for anything to do with your Photos.
    The upshot of that is that how (or where) the files are stored doesn't matter - as long as they are safe and backed up - because after importing to iPhoto you never directly access those files again.
    So, you want to organise your Photos: do it in the iPhoto Window. Events, Albums, Keywords, and so on. You do all your work via that window or the media browsers that make the Library available in every app in the OS.
    So: want to edit a photo, but not with iPhoto? You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    How to access the Photos for whatever reason you may need them see this user tip:

    For details of the Export dialogue: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    You can more or less recreate your folder tree in the iPhoto Window - start at the bottom of your tree and drag  folder of images to the Albums Heading. iPhoto will import the images and make an album of them. Then File -> New Folder and drag the Album to that. Folders can hold nested folders and Albums. And so work from there.
    But if your folder tree is date based that's a bit pointless, as the Calendar search and Smart Albums make it pretty redundant. With these you can find any photos from a specific day, week, month, year or date-range in the Library.
    If the folder tree is theme based, then keywords will a more effective way of working.
    And Albums are more flexible that folders in the Finder, as an image can be in any number of Albums and use no extra disk space whatever.
    So, it's a whole new way of working with photos for you.
    To your specific questions:
    I am having an issue exporting the iphoto albums to an external drive. When I do it, it either just drops all the pictures in together or it separates them by events, but my iphotos are arranged in albums, not events so that doesn't help
    Export them one album at a time.

    But given the above... why are you doing this? You're defeating the non-destructive workflow by doing it. Are you trying to back up?
    .I can't save photos automatically to folders/albums in iphoto bc it doesnt show in the finder,
    Not clear exactly what you're asking here, but does the above open some ideas?
    I can't upload to facebook without doing it from iphoto
    Yeah you can... For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
    It's the first one...
    and I obviously can't save to external drive easily just yet.
    Yeah you can but what exactly are you trying to save, and, again, why? Different purposes have different workflows.
    Should I just be saving all of my photos in Pictures in the finder?
    That's a personal choics, but not if you plan on using iPhoto. And as I started with iPhoto is not compulsory... As to why you shouldn't with iPhoto:

    Reasons for bothering to learn...
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • How do you direct EXS24 to read from External drive?

    my logic pro EXS24 is not reading from My external drive. How do i create a path??

    Hi Nastushka
    Glad you liked the website, it's my intention to keep updating over time and I hope people continue to find it useful. I was very lucky when I started out that lots of very smart people helped me out, so it's nice to continue the tradition.
    In answer to your question.
    To the best of my knowledge there's no way to have the actual .exs files on an external drive and have Logic still see them. My understanding is that Logic performs a number of "scans" on start up, during this process it checks a number of preset locations and then adds the files it finds to your available tools.
    The good news is that the .exs files are relatively small, so they shouldn't eat in to your hard drive space too much. It's the audio ( wav or aiff ) that takes up all the space.
    For example I have Pure E-Basses on my laptop ( from which I'm typing ) and the whole folder of .exs files is 6.5meg the related samples folder is 2.52gig.
    Ok, moving into speculative mode, _I haven't tried this myself_, if you absolutely must have the .exs files on an external drive I can think of no logical reason this couldn't be achieved with the judicious use of an Alias. So you'd create an Alias of the .exs files and put these in the correct location for Logic to scan and point these Aliases to the original files on your external HD.
    Unfortunately I'm not in a position to test this at the moment.
    Maybe somebody could chip in if they've tried it ?
    I'd also suggest that if you don't have enough room on you internal HD for the .exs files you may have bigger problems down the line. All HDs ( in my experience ) need a reasonable percentage of free space to work at their best.
    I'll copy this into the other thread, it may be sensible to continue this discussion in one thread from now on.

  • How do you change the volume for multiple clips in one go?

    Hi all,
    Im having some trouble with audio. Im posting this in a rush so sorry in advance if its a bit muddled! Im editing snow reports with a journo piece to camera (track one lapel microphone) with overlay (track two nat sound ).
    1. is there a way to only bring in track one only and track two only from the source monitor?
    2. Is it possible to adjust the volume on multiple clips that are on the timeline (so that i can bring down the nat sound for all of the overlay track two)
        At the moment im bringing them into the timeline and adjusting them individually. I tried lowering the volume on one clip and saving it as a preset but    it wont let me.
    your help is greatly appreciated
    Paul

    Duplicate the audio once editing is done.  In the Mixer window, apply the Fill Left effect to one audio track, and the Fill Right effect to the other.  Then adjust the mixer appropriately.

  • How do I rename a volume on an external hard drive

    I have a 500 GB Iomega USB external hard drive divided into 3 volumes. The largest one used to be my Time Machine backup, but I needed more room and have added a new drive for the purpose and want to change the name of the old backup volume to something else. How can I do that?
    I am using OS X 10.8.2 and my computer is a Mac Mini mid 2010 with 4 GB of RAM.

    Thanks! I don't keep my hard drive icons on the desktop, just in the side bar and it didn't work there, but I made the change in the Finder Preferences and Lo! I changed its name!
    Thanks again.

  • HT1727 how do you get the drivers for a dvd drive

    since upgrading to windows 8. I have lost my dvd drive.
    Cannot use the drive for either running a cd or writing one.

    This has nothing to do with iTunes.
    If you need drivers for hardware in your computer, contact the manufacturer of the computer or the specific hardware piece.

    How do I change the volume for a single midi instrument in GarageBand 10? Every time I move the volume, it moves back!

    Every time I move the volume, it moves back!
    Check, if you have a volume automation set on the software instrument track.
    If the track volume automation curve is enabled, the volume slider for the track will move with the automation curve.
    Click the automation curves disclosure triangle in the track header and disable the volume automation.

  • How do you set the duration for multiple stills in iMovie 2013?

    How do you set the duration for multiple stills in iMovie 2013?
    Before upgrading to the latest version of iMovie last month, I was able to set the duation of all of the stills included in an iMovie project at one time by clicking the apply to all still box in the adjustment pop up. That option is no longer apparent. If it is available I cannot find it, and I have tried several different ways to accomplish it. I have tried the iMovie help section and can find nothing to help.
    Apple, do I really have to adjust close to 500 pictures to a 5 second duration individually???
    REALLY??!!

    ...why wouldnt people want that level of accuracy when animating, especially when working to music at a specific duration?
    Because often people are animating to words or beats in the music.  Music is rarely performed with a computer-precise beat and tempo.  Musicians aren't robots: they swing the beat sometimes.  They use rubato.  They change tempo.  They change time signatures.  As a result, you have to FIND those words and beats.  It's not a situation where you can say, "There!  I've found the duration of one beat!  Now it's easy to find the rest of them!" 
    If you try it, you will be very disappointed.
    Try finding the precise end of a piece of music that fades or ends on a big chord with a ring-out.  You'll see that it's trial-and-error: what's the point where it becomes inaudible?  It depends on how high your speakers are turned up.  You might have them way up, you set an end point for the layer, and then you do a RAM Preview at a more reasonable volume.  You might say, "Hey!  The music ends before the layer ends!"...  but you KNOW you set the layer's out point when the audio file goes silent.
    AE has layer markers that can be used on an audio layer to mark beats, words, etc. They come in very handy.
    I guess it comes down to this: because AE can do so much different stuff, there are very few automated procedures.  Oh, Adobe tries with effects that convert audio levels to keyframes, but they're not 100% reliable... especially on something like a capella choral works.  For true accuracy, you need  find the timings yourself. 
    If you want something simpler, try a different application. But be prepared for lower level of accuracy.

  • How do you control the volume to the earphones?

    How do you control the volume to the earphones?

    Apple Support Communities updatesActually I knew that part of it, but I had to go to Settings to correct something.  They are working now that I fixed something that I have no recollection that I altered in the first place, nor do I now know what in heaven’s  name I fixed this time.  All I know is that I must have gone to setting a million and one times and the last time was the one I did something right.
    Thank you for your help however.

  • How do you change your thumbprint for iPhone 5s?

    How do you change your thumbprint for the iphone 5s?

    Go to Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode, enter your passcode, then Turn Passcode Off will delete all current fingerprints. You can then turn passcode back on and enter fingerprints.
    Rather than deleting, you can also add the same fingerprint a second time via "Add a fingerprint" in Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode, enter your passcode, then Touch ID.

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

    Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone.  Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.
