How do you save key commands/trash logic prefs??

hey,
how do you trash your logic prefs and save your key commands in os x. Please for give the simplicity of my question but getting under the hood in os 9 made a lot more sense to me than doing it in os x.
thanks!
ej

find in your user area:
~/Library/Preferences/
com.apple.logic.pro
drag this file to the desktop (do not copy)
Boot Logic (prefs are not initialized)
open key commands window
select import key commands
make your way to the desktop and choose the file you just moved
you can then do what you want with the old prefs file-but don't move it to the prefs folder)
Cheers

  • How do I import key commands from Logic 9 to Logic X?

    I have downloaded key commands from a friend. They're very good and convenient and I would like to not set them all manually. That'll take a long time.
    So he just told me to download his key commands, and he showed me how to import them. However we couldn't export them. We think this is because we are using two different versions of Logic. He's using Logic 9 and I'm using Logic X. Is there a way to import his key commands or do we have to do it all manually?

    Hi
    You'll need to Export them from LP9, put that file on your Mac somewhere handy, then import into LPX (navigating to wherever you put  the LP9 keycommand file) Works fine here
    Looks like you may have done that, but the file you are trying to import has ".xml" on the end. Remove that so it's called "myname.logikcs"

  • How do you save changes made in iPhoto, and export the changed file.  It keeps reverting back to the original.

    How do you save changes made in iPhote, and export the changed picture file? When I select export, current format, it reverts to the original, wiping out all my work.

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Where does iPhoto save imported files????  how do you "save"?

    ok this is driving me crazy:
    I've imported photos and movie clips from my camera through usb through iPhoto.
    Where does iPhoto save these files?
    I've opened iMovie to find the movie clip and I can't find it anywhere...
    also: after editing a photo in iMovie, how do you "save" it?

    Chris
    You’ve a bit of a learning curve ahead of you as you obviously haven’t really understood iPhoto, what it is and how it works. You could do yourself a favour and have a look at the tutorials at http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto
    To specific cases:
    When you press "done" it doesn't save it (find the photo in its original file and open it with Preview, you'll see it hasn't been saved).
    Yes, but it has! You see iPhoto will always preserve your Original file. So when you make edits it carries out these on copy of the file. You can see this in the iPhoto Window. There is no way to make iPhoto edit the original file.
    I have opted for iPhoto not to duplicate my photos and keep its own library (to me that doesn't make any sense, my photos are about 15GB, I wouldn't want them to turn into 30GB for no reason!),
    1. The best solution for that it to allow iPhoto to copy the files into the Library and then remove your own copies.
    2. When you go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import', you are running what is called a Referenced Library. In a Referenced Library iPhoto will not copy the files on import, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this
    it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file.
    It will still create a thumbnail and,
    if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
    1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    so the problem still exists, why doesn't it save new photos in my pictures folder?
    Because you told it not to. When you run a Referenced Library +you are responsible for File Management+. Remember that bit above where I said
    1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    You need to put the files where you want them, then import them to iPhoto. Iphoto has no control over any file outside the Library Package. So when it comes to deleting things you’ll need to remove the pics from iPhoto and then go and root them out from your folder structure by hand.
    None of this is the case if you run a Managed Library.
    or ask me where to save them?
    Because that’s not what it does. Check out Image Capture for that.
    I'm worried that if I now let it save all my new photos to its iPhoto library (which is basically a virtual library as I understand it)
    What do you mean by a “virtual library”?
    and in a year's time I change laptops I run the risk of loosing photos as I won't know which photos are were (now I can do a back up to an external drive simply by copying the folders I choose from the pictures folder.
    If you run a Managed Library then backing up and migrating are both very simple. You simply back up the iPhoto Library or move it as the case may be. There are many, many back up utilities that will do incremental back ups if the Library: Time Machine, DejaVu Chronosync are several but there are a hundred more. Search on MacUpdate.
    If you run a Referenced Library you must +back up the Originals and the iPhoto Library+ (to get your Albums, Modified Versions and so on). Migrating rto a new machine is a bear too, as you cannot allow the path to the files to alter. (See my pitfall no. 3 above.
    Worst of all: a mixed Managed/Referenced Library: a recipe for data loss.
    My strongest advice to you is to start over with iPhoto. Create a new Library: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and import 100 pics into it and explore it for a week or two. Get to know the ins and outs a bit and se how it works. Then decide if it’s the right app for you. By all means post back if you need more info.

  • How do you save a report from VB?

    Post Author: calvin

    How do you save an updated Crystal Report (CRXI) from a VB.Net (2005) program?
    We're using the ReportDocument object model, not the CrystalViewer
    & it appears there's a SaveAs method but not Save.Worse, the SaveAs doesn't seem to work. I get a convoluted error message that essentially says the file is in use, even when I'm saving it to a new filename. (The file it's referring to is the copy of the original file in the Temp directory.) I can post a screen capture of the entire error message if anyone thinks it will be useful.
    Thanks.

    Post Author: calvin
    CA Forum: .NET
    "Curiouser and curiouser. said Alice." I feel like I'm in Wonderland-the SaveAs works for some reports, but not for others. The task is to create an application consisting of a VB.Net program and a set of reports. The reports must be able to be run 'stand-alone' in Crystal Reports XI, and also to be run under control of the VB program. The report output is to go to PDF, not to be viewed online. It's absolutely amazing, to me, how little support there is for this type of thing. Why? Possibly it's considered simple-and it seems like it should be, except that some reports won't run under control of the VB program. When I got involved there had been a database change so the problem initially appeared to be running the VerifyDatabase command. (The reports being tested ran fine after they'd been fixed up in Crystal-but this wasn't expected to be the last database change so there was still a need for a programmatic fixup.) After running the VerifyDatabase command in the VB program the 'fixed' report couldn't be saved to verify that the report had been fixed-and it still wouldn't run. Now, I'm leaning towards the idea that the database change was a red herring. We've found some reports that have been fixed up but still won't run. Mostly they just 'hang'. If we get any output at all (usually after killing the application) it's the same record reported over and over. Anybody got any ideas?

  • IMovie crashed, lost project. How do you SAVE in iMovie? Where's the file?

    Just spent 4-5 hours building a complicated movie from a year's worth of footage. At some point, iMovie crashed. I think I lost all those hours of creative decision making, since I cannot see the file when I reopen iMovie.
    There is no "open" command in the file menu. There is no "save" command in the file menu.
    This would imply that Apple was autosaving for me to save me trouble. Hmm. I can save in almost every program I use, and revert, and save versions.
    How do you save a project in iMovie? I don't see save in the file menu, as has been the steadfast tradition of Apple applications since I purchased my first Mac in 1984. What in the blazes have you done with SAVE? It is so basic.
    Along the same line, where is the project file located on my hard drive? I would like to open it. Since I assume you have been autosaving to somewhere, could you please let me know where my file is saved.
    <Edited by Host>

    This just appeared to happen to me too.  I tried clicking on the file in Movies/iMovie Projects.  That didn't work.
    Then, I made a copy of the  file in a safe place.  I noticed it was 2.2 MB, so something had to be in there.  Next, I started iMovie and clicked the Project Library arrow.  The project was listed there.  I opened it and got back most but not all of the work.  It lost a lot of my audio changes.  Here's the thing.  I worked until about midnight, and then left iMovie up and running til noon.  You would think it would have autosaved the changes by the time I came back.  I suggest making your own copy of the file now and then, just in case.

  • Help !!!!!! How do you save a copy of your Zen player's content before formatti

    How do you Save a copy of your Zen player's content before formatting? I have no clue how? I don't want to go through the trouble of re-downloading everything back to my player? Someone Please Help me!!!

    If you reformat the player you'll be erasing all the flash memory. There is no way to avoid re-downloading your content since it isn't going to reappear by magic.
    Normally the PC you use as your primary media library has a copy of all your ripped/downloaded stuff already. I don't see why you're opposed to syncing it back to the player after you reformatting. ?Regardless, if the player isn't frozen or otherwise misbehaving you should be able to drag-and-drop copy to contents to a handy PC with enough space. If you have DRM-controlled content at minimum you'll have to re-sync the associated licenses to make them play again once you copy them back since you can't retrieve the DRM keys off the player. It probably won't prevent you from copying the encrypted files themselves although it may; DRM systems almost uni'versally support a "No Copy" flag for content on the player to prevent copying it back the rights holder chooses to flag the content that way.
    If you're just updating the firmware of the player the contents are unlikely to be damaged in the process (but it is always good to have a backup just in case).
    If your player isn't misbehaving one is left wondering why are you want to reformat it's Doing a "clean up" will often fix most issues of corrupted files and mangled metadata.

  • How do you save voice memos

    How do you save voice memos, and use them as ringtones or text tones?

    From the Users Guide:
    Syncing Voice Memos
    iTunes syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPod touch to
    your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a
    backup if you delete them from iPod touch.
    Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it
    doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos
    app until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPod touch, it isn’t deleted
    from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from
    iTunes, it is deleted from iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes.
    You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the Music app on iPod touch using
    the Music pane in iTunes.
    Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPod touch:
    1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
    2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the Devices list.
    3 Select Music at the top of the screen.
    4 Select the “Include voice memos” checkbox and click Apply.
    Some users have had to create the Voice Memos playlist since it did not get automatically created.

  • How can you save an app's data?

    Hi, how can you save an app's data? For example, if I want to switch some applications on my iPod with those were on my iTunes Apps Library, iTunes will force to remove the apps that was on my device and sync the apps that I want onto my iPod. But once the app is removed from my iPod, its data will be erased too, so, for example months later, I want to put them back onto my iPod, I will lose all the apps data and games progress. So, I just want to know the way that people save their apps data.

    Yo can't. apps are locked to the account thatpurchased them and in-app purchases can only be mad with the account that originally purchased the app.

  • How can you save a draft SMS on X3-02 ?

    How can you save a draft SMS on X3-02 ? 
    Can't seem to find an option to do this  ...  Lost message typed half way  when I got out of the editor to check the calendar.
    Am I missing something or has Nokians obsoleted this function on the latest S40 platform ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi all,
    Like sudude here pointed out that's one way of leaving text as "draft" to message editor. Or you can also select Options > More > Exit editor to do the same. And, next time when you select Create message that previous text should be there as it was left.
    But there is also another option to start writing SMS's - with Notes application. Select Menu > Apps > Notes. Write a note and save it. Then for that note select Options > Send note > Send as message. Now your note is copied to message editor and you can send it or further edit and then send. Neat thing here is that when you use Notes application, text can be saved for later editing or use.
