How to change location of files (folder structure to storing in iPhoto lib)

I need help.
I thought I was smart, but as is always the case, I find out that I am not
I did not trust iPhoto at first. So I retained my images in my 8 years of folder structure (by year and then subfolders of months).
My lib is getting large, 7000 plus images, and when importing images (I do not have the setting for imported images to be stored to iPhoto Lib) and wanting to delete some, I find it more work than is necessary.
Bottom line: Can someone tell me if there is a way to change the setting (of course there is) but also to reimport, or move, my images that are already in iPhoto (but are really just previews referencing to my folder structure) so that they will reside in the iPhoto Lib?
When I import it finds duplicates...if I say do not import then it does not go any further...but if I say "yes, import duplicates" then it brings them in as duplicates...which means I have two copies, but only one retains all of the keywords etc.
Another bottom line: I want to retain my keywords in my current library, but move all images into the iPhoto lib instead of my folder structure. I can do this from this date forward, but I want to get the entire lib to be this way.
Help?

How can I locate the file /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.cer to reset my master password? Thanks!

The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

How do I add a "file folder" to my TC so that I can save files directly to the TC?

I am trying to figure out how I can add a "File Folder" to my TC so that I can save files directly to it? The only folder it displays is "Data" which is where my bac ups save...

Double click on the "Data" folder in the Finder under the SHARED heading, and then click the gear icon at the top of the window and select New Folder.
You can name this folder anything you wish and also create as many folders as you wish.
If you are also using the Time Capsule drive for Time Machine backups, it is not really recommended that you "mix" regular files with Time Machine backups because there will be a struggle for space on the drive at some point.
If you have plenty of free space on the Time Capsule drive, you may be OK with keeping a portion dedicated for regular files.

How to make file folder structure from virtual folders

lv 2013 sp1
This is the layout of an example project, (please don't mind the horrible naming)
When i create a source distribution.. no matter what settings I try, the preview is always like this:
But I want the folder structure from the build to become as the virtual folder structure. is there any way of doing this without moving them by hand in the file explorer tab?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unless you use auto-populating folders (which I don't like), the virtual folders are not meant to reflect the location on disk, so it certainly won't be automatic.
I don't have experience with source distribution, but other build types have the option of configuring destination folders in the Destinations category and then assigning these destinations to items in the projects (including virtual folders, which then takes all the elements inside it) either in the same category or in the one under it, I can't check. I expect that you can do the same in a source distribution.
Try to take over the world!

How do I locate RAW files to export from a managed library?

I have a decade's worth of managed Aperture libraries. The majority of the Masters are jpeg files but at least 30% of the originals are raw files. I am wanting to change to a referenced library structure which is accessible from other applications. Can anyone tell me how I can tell, from within Aperture, which projects are raw based and how to retrieve these raw image files? I expect there is a simple answer which will prompt a "duh" and a forehead slap but it is eluding me at the moment. I know that if I open the library package and rummage around I can locate raw files but the context is lost and often utterly confusing in the arcane folder structure Aperture uses.

You can create smart albums or searches in Aperture to find all images with RAW original files.
Use the command: File > New > Smart album
Then add a rule from the "Add Rule" drop down menu to the Smart Settings HUD:
"File Type is RAW"
and click the checkmark next to the rule.
This will show you all images that are RAW.
Just to be sure, you know, that you need to be careful not to move or modify referenced images in any way by accessing them from other applications, right?

Changed location of files, can i transfer my playlist info

This question has been addressed similarly in a few posts and I understand how to change the music folder location.
The problem is I already transfered my files to the new location where I want them by just dragging and dropping. This took 30 hours to transfer. Is there any way to transfer playlist info etc. without having to do the file transfer within iTunes (consolidate library and have all files copied to the new location) because the files are already where I want them to be.
I am trying to avoid another 30 hour file transfer for files I have already moved.

Most of the third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod have an option for playlists only. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

Finder Places: how to change location?

I have moved my large iTunes and iPhoto libraries to an external hard drive. However, I cannot figure out how to change the location in the sidebar of the Finder to show that the new places are external.
Any advice on how to do this?
Thank you.

Flink,
I think I understand what you're looking for.
Those special "shortcuts" in the Finder Sidebar only point to the corresponding folders in your HOME folder. You cannot change this. However, you can create aliases of Library folders you moved to the external, and place those aliases in the folders inside your HOME folder.
Right now, you select one of the Sidebar items (let's take the "Pictures" folder, for example), and you see the contents of your "Pictures" folder. One included item is your "iPhoto" folder. By creating an alias of the externally-stored iPhoto folder and placing in the "Pictures" folder, you'll see the same thing.
You'll still need to tell iPhoto and iTunes where to look for their Library folders, though. iPhoto handles this pretty easily, but iTunes needs a bit more coaxing. Instead of moving the iTunes library yourself, open the "Advanced" tab of the iTunes preferences. Enable the "Keep music organized" checkbox, then click "OK." Change the location using the dialogue in this preference pane, then dismiss the preferences dialogue. Finally, choose File>Library>Consolidate Library to copy the entire library to the chosen location.

I can not play a large percentage of my music due to "could not be used because original file could not be found" How do I locate these files again? Thanks

So I have not been able to play a large number of my songs duw to a message that reads "could not be used because original file could not be found". Does anyone know how to locate these files so that itunes will play them again? Thanks

by following this document here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
and then doing something else at the end.
I followed the instructions from 1-6:
Then rather than importing the XML file I open iTunes, selected "Add to Library" from the File menu then navigated to the itunes library on my external disc then let it do its work.
I guess something got fragged when I changed computer but it's all ok now.
This worked on a Mac I don't know about Windows

How to change icon of a Folder-track?

By Folder-track I mean the Folder in Arrange window that is created from "packing reions". Is that even possible in LogicPro7 - to change it's icon?
I mean I know how to change icons for my audio tracks, audio-instrument tracks. And it would be nice if I can assign different icons for different Folder-tracks.
I did not find how to do that

It is possible... use option-command-hold on the icon of the folder in a track in the arrange and up pops the many icons to choose from.
You can set the icon to something other than the folder.
To make different folders I guess you would have to do some image editing
and make your own icons but that is pretty easy.
Put your user create icons here...
~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Images/Icons
and logic will load your numbered image file instead of the default ones that
Logic would normaly use.
Note: 1.png is the file name of the regular folder icon.

How do you locate the file where iPhoto library is kept? I moved iPhoto library from hard drive to external dedicated photo drive.

I am trying to restore some elements of my iPhoto library using time machine.
Apple instructions call for locating the file where iPhoto library is kept, and tells you where it is on your hard drive. But I've recently moved my iPhoto library to a dedicated external hard drive, and copied my i photo library there. when i click on it, all the photos are there, but it's an iPhoto library, not a file.
When I go into time machine and click on the date i would like to enter, most of my apps have a circle with a line through it, unaccessible. So: a related question, how would i retrieve a photo file from time machine's previous backup? thank you.

Thank you!
I am trying to retrieve photo uploads from my Android phone. When I last updated my OS, most of these vaporized, leaving only thumbnails. I have had two lengthy sessions with Apple phone support, but still haven't solved the problem.
Apparently I can't go back to July '14 iPhoto in time machine and browse files; i have to copy the entire library.
Which I just did, taking 2 hours.
In order to open the iPhoto library from July '14, I had to first update iPhoto.
When I went into the files, the same problem existed -- photo files gone, only thumbnails there. So now I'm thinking that it's the update that was the problem. This scares me to death, because when we're asked to update, we don't get a menu of preferences to make sure something has been unchecked, like the copy option i had enabled when opening photo files from my phone, which i store in a dropbox folder.
No one at Apple could tell me why this happened, so I have no idea how to prevent it from happening in the future.
That's why I'm trying to create better backups...but i can't figure out deja vu, because it won't open and sync the iPhoto library folder -- it wants me to find the file, and i don't know where it is on the external dedicated photo drive.
I realize this is about six issues, not one. But I'm really appreciative of any help i can get!

How to change the RPD file name without deploying on EM

Is there a way to change the RPD file name so it doesn't have BI0002 or BI0003 on the end of it? I can delete my BI0002 file and point the NQSConfig.ini file to my new FileName.rpd but when the BI services restart the BI0002 file reappears in the repository directory and the NQSConfig file changes to reflect this. It's like the only way you can change this is in the Enterprise Manager, but that always adds the suffix to the file.
Any suggestions?
Here's what the docs say:
When you upload a repository, it is copied to the local repository directory for each Oracle BI Server component, located at:
ORACLE_INSTANCE\bifoundation\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obisn\repository
If you have published the repository in shared mode, then the repository is also copied to the shared network location.
After the repository is uploaded, it is given a version number suffix (for example, SampleApp_bi001.rpd). This version number is incremented each time that the repository is uploaded. To revert to a previous version, you must re-upload the specific version of the repository to use.
Note that you can delete older versions from the repository directory or shared network directory to reclaim disk space.
What does that mean? I have to use an old rpd file in order to get rid of the suffix?

Hi,
It can be changed, although I do not no exactly how. You have to take a look at the MBeans which are used to deploy a new repository. The suffixed is used to insure you do not overwrite an existing RPD
