How to properly save finished work.

I am getting full on my ext HD... I would like to know some different ways to save my projects.
I know how to back up to tape and save to DVD...etc.
i have some work i have done and I may have to re edit next yr for updates .
Should I just go back to tape? or save everything on EXT drives and If I save to HD's what parts should I save from render ,cap scratch, etc????? all files???
can't seem to find anything in forums.
thanks
tim

Whatever you do, don't start using your main HD (the one OSX is on) for your FCE files for editing. This is never a smart thing to do.
This suggestion probably isn't the highest on your list:
Buy a new external HD. I searched Newegg for a while and found some hard drives. I came across a Seagate 320GB external HD for 94.99. I purchased it the next day. It was real cheap, really cheap for a drive of that size. Newegg has great selection on drives and cheap prices. Unforunatelly, the drive I bought was on sale when I bought it.
It's best to buy a internal hard drive, then purchase a Firewire enclosure. It's cheaper that way.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148141 - Amazing price.
Seagate drives on Newegg
I would invest in a larger drive, judging on how you are close to filling your current external. But if money is a factor, a lower drive size will work. Maybe buy the drive and use it only for your Capture Scratches.
Good luck

How can I save finished and shared movies from old iMovieHD-projects

Hi there, I have a big problem:
I have found some old iMovieHD 6 Projects. (.iMovieProject) that already have been finished years ago.
Now I would like to save the finished movies outside the projects but I can't find a way to do this although I've been searching in the www for hours.
When I go to the folder 'shared movies' I find a small .mov file - it's only some KB big.
I can start this and the movie plays with no problem im QuickTime Player 7, the quality ist quite ok - original films were .DV from a camcorder.
When I use iDVD I can take this movie without problems and burn it as DVD or .img on my hard disk.
In this .img I can find the folder VIDEO-TS where I can find the movie al .VOB. But the Quality is really awful.
How can I save the finished movie right out of the folder 'shared movies' in the best quality, maybe as .mov or other ?
I can't install iMovieHD 6.0.3 because my old iLive install-DVD was sold with my old macbook years ago and I don't know if it would work anyway on Mavericks 10.9.5
Now I have iMovie 10 and 11. Importing the old projects would not solve the problem because only the original clips were imported, not the project itself.
Would be QuickTime Pro a solution ? There are items like 'save as' or 'export' but I don't know if it works with this kind of files...

Save the clips as Quicktime files (full quality), then you can import them into later versions of iMovie. An iMovie 6 project would not be compatible with recent versions of iMovie.

How does this SAVE View works in WAD ?

Experts, Before putting this question, i did search for this isssue but couldnt find the correct answer.
when i run the query in portal i get the correct report. but when i right click on any of the charastractis, i could see the drop down list with some options. in this list of options, there is one entry "Save View"
I tried saving it, with technical name and desc. but i couldnt find it anywhere.
does anyone has idea ? how this save view works in Portal ?
thanx

Hi, plz. find my answers inline.
My question is how can we make use of this View. So, what is the importance of VIEW ? How users get benefited ?
>> If you have scenarios wherein users would want to carry out their own analysis & save for future reference/records, then query views prove to be beneficial. Else creating individual queries to suit user preferences is cumbersome & time consuming.
I was researching on SDN, and found that if i save it As a VIEW. then if we change the query. the saved view remains unchanged. is that right ? But, what if i remove some characteristics from the query ? Does it remove from the VIEW too ?? Or, Its just, if we make some changes to Key figure structure. It wont make any impact on view.
>> You execute a query with its initial view, change the initial view by navigating in the data, and save this new navigational state as a query view. If you later change the initial view of the query in the BEx Query Designer, this change has no effect on the query view previously saved. The query view already exists as an independent object.
Please let me know. if you find some documentation please post a link, i am happy to read that.
>> http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/46/0294bc82f37041e10000000a155369/content.htm
That if you are using WAD and save as view, you can open using BEx analyzer or the other way around ?
>> You can create and open a query view from BEx Analyzer or Web / WAD, as long as you have the option to.

How can i save my work pdf files and personal pdf files separately in my ipadmini

Hi,
I would like some help on separating my personal and work pdf files in my ipad. Currently i saved everything in ibook but find it unprofessional when i have to show my clients my work
Is there any other way to save my work pdf files separately?
trena.c

If you still would like to use Ibooks you can add Collections. i.e.. work pdf's
View your collections, add a new one.
Now go to the pdf's you want to add to that collection and move them to the new collection you have just created.
Hope this helps.

HT4753 How can I save while working in Pages

How can I make Pages save changes while I work? Sometimes my MacPro laptop will freeze and I have to force quit losing my changes.

Marty ~ For portables, see this Apple doc:
Apple Portables — How to use trackpad screen zooming
There's also this Apple doc:
Making it easier to see what’s on the screen
And to increase the size of the text content within your iWeb pages, this is from iWeb's Help viewer:
You can make text bigger or smaller. Text size is measured in “points” (abbreviated in iWeb as “pt”).
Here are ways to change text size:
• Select the text, click Fonts in the toolbar, and then select a size.
• To change text size in one-point increments, choose Format > Font > Bigger, or Format > Font > Smaller.

While download what I thought was a free memorial program template for my dad's memorial I got a free trial of iworks, I already have iworks on my computer. Now I can't save my work on ipages. How do I restore and save my own iworks? Help please!!.

BACKGROUND INFO:
I am working on a memorial program for my father. I googled free memorial template. Followed the program and ended up downloading iworks 30 day free trial, a program that have already on my computer. I went to FInder found the free trial and dumped it into the trash. Then I opened my ipages and modified one of those templates for the memorial program. When I went to save the changes made a message popped up stateding that I could not save my work before I activated the free trial.
QUESTIONS:
1) How do I save my work on ipages?
2) How do I delete the trial program so I can access all my originial software and my previously saved documents?

How do I save a messages in text, NOT template or file?

I want to be able to save an email from outlook, gmail, Hotmail, or any other format as a plain text or rich text message. Several of my emails are readable by TB24, but the only option for saving them is the Template or file. This is fine for those messages already in the mailbox, but if I can read an archived message in TB format, I should be able to save it in the same fashion. I guess a converter plugin is needed or a tutorial on how to properly save emails from other formats. Ex I open a folder containing an email from a past Outlook acct, The email can be deciphered by TB24, (ie it opens it), but when I try to save it to file(which gives options for format), it doesn't respond to my request!! Am I not doing something correctly or does the TB24 program "block" that function because of it is not in the TB24 mailbox? Baffling and frustrating when try to find a particular message from numerous formats. Thanks to all those who know more than I about this.

'''File|Save As|File''' then in the resulting dialogue, choose "text" file type when saving. Of course in doing so you lose all formatting and attachments.
How do you search and index messages when saved as independent and free-standing text files? I keep email correspondence within the email client specifically because the tools to manage and search are effective and efficient. In fact I occasionally email myself something that needs to be preserved simply because as email it is so easy and convenient to find and retrieve. Searching for text in documents in Windows has become a chore.
I'm not at all sure why you want to open email messages from other environments in Thunderbird, only to save them as text files. But have you tried "Edit As New" to see if that will offer other save options?
What format(s) are these other messages from outlook, gmail, windows live saved in then?
Don't forget simple old select all, copy and paste to save message content in any other document type.

How do I save a Group Your Tabs Window? When I create a fresh Group Your Tabs Window it goes away when I close Firefox.

I am currently beta testing Firefox 4.0. I love the Group Your Tabs option but every time I use it I loose what I have created when I close Firefox. How do I save my work?

Hi,
This is not a problem. You just have to go in options, in general tab -> start up options check the "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
This should do the trick. It's not a beta bug or whatever. It's just a preference thing.
Some people do not like having all their tabs opened from last time when they open the browser

Every morning when I awaken my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later.

Every morning when I "awaken" my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed on it's own. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later. I checked system preferences and everything seems to be checked appropriately as well as for Safari's preferences.
I am not sure what's going on, because Safari only just recently started doing this and I haven't downloaded anything, nothing out of my regular computer routine. As well, I upgraded to Mavericks when it came out and I have the last version of it too. I can't imagine that Safari would close simply because I don't have or want to upgrade to Yosemite. I am holding off on the upgrade for a bit, because I heard Final Cut Pro 7 can't be run on Yosemite. While I could partition my drive, I really don't want to. Mavericks is fine for right now : )
Okay sooooo...back to Safari...what the! Please help and thanks for any replies ahead of time!
I Hope All Is Well In Your World : )

There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
Network section.
In Network - click on Advanced - then the DNS tab
under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
either these, from google dns
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
or from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click OK & then 'Apply'
You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)

When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

I have a new iPhone for work, set up on a new iTunes account (PC). I was told i can associate it to my home iTunes account (iMac) but don't know how. I want to save the work related apps as well. Any advice? Thanks

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

I want to work on a photo book on home, work, or ipad computers. How do I save a book or transfer it to another device?

I make photo books from collections of pictures using iPhoto and then order them from the Apple store. Sometimes I don't finish them on one of the computers I regularly use (macbook pro, iMac, iPad) and would like to save the partly finished book on a disk or thumb drive so I can transfer it to one of the other devices to continue working on it. It is easy to transfer all of the pictures, but I see no way to save a book, burn it to a CD or DVD, or transfer it over a network. You can delet the book or convert it to pdf or slideshow, but all I want to do is finish working on it before I order the book.

Either transfer the entire library to the MacBook Pro and work on it there or try the method described in this tutorial to reduce the size of a copy of the library to just the pictures in the book (and those you think you might want to use) and use that on the MPB: #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the save button it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found."

When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the "save" button, it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found." I then have to go to "locate" to get the image. When I select the correct image, I get a message that it is not the same file name but I am eventually able to access the image. Needless to say this is having a negative impact on workflow!

The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

How do I save a photo after I have zoomed in on it? I want to save the zoom-in as a new photo and can't work out why this doesn't work the same way saving a cropped image, or adjusted image does. Thank you.

How do I save an image after I have zoomed in on it? I can't work out why I can't save a zoom-in the same way
I can save a cropped image or an adjusted image. Thanks, Lily A.

Hi Matt, thanks for your reply. Have realised that Zoom in Iphoto is just a viewing tool and not an editing tool.
Was creating beautiful abstractions by zooming in and wanted to create a new image of the result. Have since discovered that cropping after zooming takes me a little way to where I want to go but it isn't the same effect. Will perhaps have to try to create it when actually shooting. Am doing a photoshop course in February and maybe will learn a bit more then, too. Am pretty much an amateur just finding my way.
Thanks again,
Best, Lily
