How to organize files with 256Gb SSD

I would like to apologize in advance if i am posting in the wrong discussions board.
I would like to ask community of advice on how to deal with a huge amount of data which doesn't seem to fit in the laptop's hard drive. When i bought i didn't imagine how fast it would fill up and looking for a good easy to use solution.
Inputs:
Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch
256Gb SSD Drive
QNAP 1.5Tb RAID TS210 (slow data transfer)
Seagate 4TB external USB 3.0 drive (external power)
Seagate 1TB external USB 3.0 Drive
JetDrive 64gb (memory card)
Yosemite
Problem:
My wife and i have 2 accounts on my laptop. my iTunes full library is about 140Gb, hers about 20Gb. My iPhoto library is about 50Gb and lives on Jetdrive. My wife's about 80Gb and i had to temporary move it to external drive so iTunes can backup her iPhone before upgrade. So, we constantly running out of time and live in a small apartment where having laptop to be connected constantly to external drive is not very nice solution. Our NAS drive is quite slow even with 802.11ac connected at 1Gigabit it only manages about 5mb/s (just old drive). Yosemite is buggy and doesn't handle network connection well so after sleep you have to kill Finder to reconnect. my wife won't be able to do it
So i wonder how people manage this. some solutions come to mind. Not to store photos in iPhoto library. But than how to organize and edit them? use Lightroom? what organization should be? Having iTunes on NAS is not very robust, library breaks quite often and requires repairs. How other deal with it? iPhone backups are not even part of the iTunes folder.
Basically any suggestions from experience people have would be most welcome. I don't think iCloud/Cloud solutions are there yet, by simply cost and speed reasons.
Many Thanks!
R.

There is no need to download anything.
In iTunes, select File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Library
This will consolidate all content listed in iTunes into the iTunes Media Folder.

    If you look around the forum for a bit, you will see that there is no notion of file systems on JavaCards (lexdabear posted this information less than two hours ago :-)). To store files, you will have to write an applet to hold byte arrays of the required size and handle receiving and sending of these.
    As for documentation, you should have a look at the GP (General Platform) specification at http://www.globalplatform.org/, which defines communication between smart cards and other devices, as well as Sun's own JavaCard pages (http://java.sun.com/products/javacard/), which contain several useful resources on JavaCards.

  • Sum Encrypt does not recognize a copy of a file through linux. How decrypt this file with Sum Encrypt?

    Sum Encrypt does not recognize a copy of a file through linux to Mac 0S9. How decrypt this file with Sum Encrypt?

    Hello, and welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    I am not familiar with the program that you list, however files in OS 9 use things called Resource Forks (rather than file extensions) for filetype and creator.
    If you sent a file through Linux these resource forks probably got stripped and now the file is nothing to your Macintosh.
    It is best to BinHex your files (.hqx) before leaving the HFS file system so that their resource forks are preserved.

  • How Merge Temp File With Photoshop File

    Hi Friends,
    I Deleted Temp File, And Now get A Error when open photoshop file " Could Not Complet ... is not a valid photoshop format " and my file size is 60mb
    and i have temp file that size is 2.50GB but How Merge Temp File With Photoshop File?
    Thank you So Much

    You can search for recovery programs  but most likely if it a temp file is not an image file.  You could also try renaming the file to have an image file type and try to open with Photoshop. Again its most likely not an image file. Photoshop only supports some image files formats.

  • Macbook Pro, How to transfer files to new SSD

    Hi
    Ordered 16GB of Ram and a 480GB SSD for my MacBook Pro 13 2.5GHz last night.
    I know how to install the ram and SSD but I am kind of stumped as to how to move my files from my HDD currently in my Mac to my new ssd, I know that its possible to do it by removing the optical drive and use a hard drive caddy and move the files with an app called super duper but i could do with keeping my optical drive for the time being.
    I have a Mac Pro late 2012, i was wondering is there any way i can put both drives into two different slots and transfer the files any way?
    Or does anybody else know how i can do it, maybe if i take my Mac to the apple store they have a cable they would let me use whilst im there?
    Hope somebody can help
    Tom

    Buy an external hard drive enclosure. They are inexpensive. Put the new drive in it temporarily, connect it and run Disk Utility to format the new drive.
    Then transfer files between the two drives with Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Next physically switch the drives.
    Your old drive can now serve as your Time Machine back up.

  • Replacing 2011 17" i7 MBP 128gb SSD with 13" MBA with 256gb SSD?

    Hi Guys,
    Looking for your input.
    I'm now using the 2011 17" MBP i7 with 128gb SSD as my only machine.
    I'm using it mainly for my Adobe CS5, Streaming HD content to my PS3,
    Parrarel, Torrent, Surfing and iphoto/itunes. With occasional steam games.
    I've just put the order for 13" MBA, with i7 and 256gb SSD.
    Will be fast enough to replace my MBP and do the tasks above?
    Will it be much slower? I don't do video renders.
    The reason I'm getting the air is that I'm travelling regularly.
    Also I will hook it up to the new 27" thunderbolt Display.
    Thanks for your input.

    CS5 is a pretty intensive application, and so is Parallels. I still think you'll be okay with CS5, but Parallels runs sort of slowly on my 11 inch Air. So, I installed my Windows in Bootcamp where it runs a lot smoother, and is a better overall experience. I'm not saying you can't used parallels with the Air, it probably just won't run quite as smoothly as it does on your 17. However, it will be able to handle the remaining tasks you listed with ease, I really do think you'll like it a lot more than your 17 inch pro. The new Airs are just so likeable- there's nothing I can find wrong with mine. I have a 15 inch Pro (2011, Thunderbolt, 2.2 GHZ) and ever since I got my Air last week I've used the Air 80% of the time and my Pro 20% of the time. It's just more enjoyable to use, and even though I'd never let go of my Pro because of how powerful it is, I know I'm going to continue to use my Air more.

  • How to organize files in 'Folder'

    Hi everyone, I always use 'Folder' to listen to my music. Primarily because the Jam doesn't recognize more than 2000 songs which forces me to use the Folder option if I want to listen to most of my albums. My problem is the order in which the files are organised within the 'Folder'. The files, currently, are ordered partially alphabetical en partially at random. I have no idea why some albums are ordered 1-2-3-4-5-6 alphabetically and others go 3-4-2-6-1-5.Has anyone found out how to manipulate files/folders/documents within the folder into (alphabetical) order? Sincerely, Someone who misses his clip+

    I assume that the Jam, like the Sport, organizes folders and files by when they were added as vs. otherwise (apart from when you are using the database).  A way to counteract this is to use a program like FAT Sorter periodically, which in essence sorts the files then there anew.  This may help you with at least part of your issue.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud - How To Share Files With Clients and Colleagues | Creative Suite Podcast: Designers | Adobe TV

    In this episode of the Adobe Creative Suite Podcast, Terry White shows how to share Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign Files with clients and colleagues and all they'll need is a browser to comment and see your Photoshop Layers.
    http://adobe.ly/10ZjpE4

    Terry,
    I guess I miss something. How can I share a folder of photos? When I return from a shoot, I select 20 of the pictures and need to share them with my client to pick up the favorites. Am I supposed to copy and past an URL for each image separately?
    Sometimes I also work with a colleague, I need to share my favorites with him. Same issue.
    We have tried Adobe Cloud, and then went for Dropbox. There we can share a folder and he can put even his pictures in it as well. That's what I call collaboration. And it is free (unlike Adobe Cloud). If you have some word in Adobe, please tell them to either drop it and make a deal with services like Dropbox, or make it properly.
    Thanks.

  • How to share files with others?

    Hello! I wanna share some files with my home mates who are both Windows users. I wonder how to do it.
    Thanks

    If you open up your system preferences, and along the Internet row, you should see a "Sharing" icon. Within there you would have the option to enable Windows File Sharing.
    You may want to try this feature and follow the instructions within that preferences pane.
    If this doesn't prove to be worthy, try establishing a connection through the internet (if available). Otherwise you could simply burn CD's from your Mac and transfer them that way to the PC's. This is of course if your Mac is a CD burner.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to read files with codepage UTF16LE with "Sender File Adapter"

    Hi everybody,
    I am using a XI-Filesender-Adapter to get a (UTF-16LE encoded) file und process it in XI-Mapping.
    This is my File-Content:
    Cost Centre,Cost Code,Page Count (B&W),Page Count (Colour),Job Count
    Unknown,Lexmark,"37,480",334,"11,968"
    Unknown,Unknown,312,0,177
    110000,Lexmark,128,228,43
    The HEX-representation of this content is:
    FF FE 43 00 6F 00 73 00 74 00 20 00 43 00 65 00
    (The starting 2 Bytes FF FE represent UTF16-LE )
    And this is the payload I get for mapping:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <ns:MT_POM_KOSTEN xmlns:ns="http://aua.com/pom">
    <POM_REC>
      <COSTCENTER>uFEFFCost Centre</COSTCENTER>
      <COSTCODE>Cost Code</COSTCODE>
      <PAGECOUNT_BW>Page Count (B&W)</PAGECOUNT_BW>
      <PAGECOUNT_COL>Page Count (Colour)</PAGECOUNT_COL>
      <JOBCOUNT>Job Count</JOBCOUNT>
      </POM_REC>
    <POM_REC>
      <COSTCENTER>Unknown</COSTCENTER>
      <COSTCODE>Lexmark</COSTCODE>
      <PAGECOUNT_BW>37,480</PAGECOUNT_BW>
      <PAGECOUNT_COL>334</PAGECOUNT_COL>
      <JOBCOUNT>11,968</JOBCOUNT>
      </POM_REC>
    <POM_REC>
      <COSTCENTER>Unknown</COSTCENTER>
      <COSTCODE>Unknown</COSTCODE>
      <PAGECOUNT_BW>312</PAGECOUNT_BW>
      <PAGECOUNT_COL>0</PAGECOUNT_COL>
      <JOBCOUNT>177</JOBCOUNT>
      </POM_REC>
    <POM_REC>
      <COSTCENTER>110000</COSTCENTER>
      <COSTCODE>Lexmark</COSTCODE>
      <PAGECOUNT_BW>128</PAGECOUNT_BW>
      <PAGECOUNT_COL>228</PAGECOUNT_COL>
      <JOBCOUNT>43</JOBCOUNT>
      <POM_REC>
    I can see the correct strings (for example Cost Centre) in  payload, but the string-comparison in the user defines function cannot recognize the equality of the strings:
    for (int i =0; i < a.length; i++) {
    if (
       (a<i>.equals("Cost Centre"))  )
      result.addSuppress();
    else
      result.addValue("");
    Actually I am using UTF-8 as codepage in Fileadapter (and Text as type)
    When I try to use UTF16 (or UTF-16LE) as Codepage, I am getting unreadable characters.
    I also tried binary, UTF16-BE,...
    The only way is to covert the file to ANSI before  I use it with XI. Then my function does work correctly.
    Does anybody have an idea, how I can read a UTF16-LE File and process it correctly in XI?
    I am using XI 7.00 0023  and JSDK 1.4.2-34
    Thanks a lot

    Hello Armin,
                        I have gone through some SAP notes and blogs  to find solution to your problem, here is what I found
    1. SAP NOTE 821267
    q) How do I correctly configure the File Encoding used by the File
    Adapter?
    Flat Files with File Content Conversion
    For a File Sender channel, configure the encoding of the source
    file. The file will be interpreted according to the configured
    encoding and converted to XML with an UTF-8 encoding.
    For a File Receiver channel, configure the encoding to match
    the encoding you would like to be written to the target flat
    file.
    - Flat Files without File Content Conversion
    Whether to configure an encoding in this case depends on if you
    want to pass through the file "as is", e.g. within a File
    Sender to File Receiver scenario, or if you want to convert the
    file's encoding on its way through the Integration Server. For
    "as is" processing, configure both the sender and the receiver
    using the File Type setting "Binary".
    To apply an encoding conversion, configure the respective
    source and target encoding in both the sender and receiver
    channel.
    Important: Configuring an encoding in the receiver channel
    will only lead to the expected results if the payload sent to
    the receiver channel is in UTF-8 format (e.g., by having
    specified an encoding conversion in the Sender channel).
    So as per this note if you configure the encoding scheme of sender communication channel to UTF-16LE, adapter should be able to convert it to UTF-8 by default. But you have posted that this encoding scheme is leading to unreadable charcters
    2) SAP note 880173
    This speaks of use of module XMLAnonymizerBean which can be applied to XML payload to change its encoding.
    3) How to guide on encoding : http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/502991a2-45d9-2910-d99f-8aba5d79fb42?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
    4) SAP note:960663
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/45/da2deb47812e98e10000000a155369/content.htm
    TextCodePageConversion Bean details which might solve your problem.
    5) Finally if nothing above works you need  a java mapping code to convert to target XML structure without any File content conversion. The mapping will convert the received file to proper target XML in "UTF-8" encoding. Please let us know if you need help on the code with this final option.
    Regards
