How to Store and Access Clips on Another Drive

hi all...how can I keep clips/projects on a drive other than my boot volume? Do I just have to move them back and forth? Or can you setup iMovie to access clips from various drives?
Thanks!

imovie will store new clips where you tell it to in your import options, it will see any valid connected drive and list it in the drop down list of locations.
imovie will also look for attached drives and list any clips it finds in your event list whenever it is opened.
In the top RH corner of the events list is a small HDD icon, click on it to reveal which of your events are stored where, if you want to move an event, drag it to the appropriate drive, imovie will copy it over and remove the original.
DO NOT move events in the finder, it will cause you problems.

How to store and access lots of photo's on my 256Gb Mac?

I need to store 320Gb of photos and access these via my Mac.. Any suggestions on the best way to do this and back-up photo's with Time Capsule?

You'll want to get at least one USB one terabyte drive to store your photo. I say at least one because you;ll also need to use a couple of different back-up schemes so that you don't lose any data.
See -> Most commonly used backup methods.
Good luck,

Single-user mode: How to mount and access an external USB drive?

My MacBook Pro HD is acting up. Cannot boot normally or into "safe mode". Cannot reinstall OS without wiping out the HD. Need to recover some critical files but DiskUtil First Aid and Restore options cannot successfully complete. Problem traced down to "invalid node structure" which means I either have a hardware problem or my filesystem partition directory structure is corrupted. I need to recover some files that are not backed up (timin issue with my regular backup process).
I can boot into single-user mode, mount the root file system (/sbin/mount -uw /) and can see/navigate the rot filesystem structure via good UNIX command line. Here's what I would like to do (in single-user mode):
1. Mount an external USB drive (250 GB already formatted as Mac OS X Extended)
2. Copy various files and/or directories from my HD to the external USB drive (UNIX cp command)
I realize I could go spend $$ for the Disk Warrior or Data Rescue products (or something similar) that SHOULD help me recover my HD or files, but it seems silly to do this when I can see, touch and taste them from within single-user mode....
Comments? Suggestions?
TIA --
Trent
P.S. Once I've recovered my files, I'll try to reformat the HD and then reinstall the OS. And THEN go have Apple look at my machine (thank goodness for AppleCare coverage)!

Resolution:
1) Boot system in single-user mode (SUM) with external HD attached.
2) Execute the following UNIX CLI commands once SUM boot process is completed:
# fsck -fy
# mount -uw /
# mkdir /Volumes/target_directory
# mount -t hfs -w /dev/diskXXX /Volumes/target_directory
# cp -RXv /source_directory /Volumes/target_directory
Where XXX is the device-level name for your external HD's data partition. In my case this was /dev/disk1s2. It may take some experimentation to identify this device name if your system has multiple HD's.
3) Verify contents were successfully copied onto the /Volumes/target_directory.
Comments and observations:
- Do NOT use "/" as your source directory - cp will make a second (redundant) copy of /volumes/target_directory
- I was able to successfully copy ALL files off my HD despite the fsck command's "invalid node structure" error message with this simple procedure. YMMV, depending on the state of your HD.
- The repeated disk0s2: I/O error warnings displayed during the SUM boot process did not seem to have a negative effect on this procedure. I also received this same error warning intermittently as I navigated the mounted filesystem did not seem to be a problem, either. Again, YMMV.
Commercial software:
I downloaded ProSoft Engineering's Data Rescue 3 product (trial version) before spending $99 to attempt to recover my "bad" HD's data via mounting to a good system with FW target mode. It could not successfully complete its "QuickScan" process and immediately hung on block 0 of 390M during its "Deep Scan" process. The product did seem to function properly on an operational system. ProSoft's technical support was responsive and helpful but had no answer for my "Deep Scan" error.
I did not attempt to use Alsoft's Disk Warrior 4 product. I could not find any trial software available and was reluctant to spend $100 based upon the mixed reviews and comments on this discussion forum as well as other reviews. Alsoft does claim to address the "invalid node structure" error in their marketing materials. Hindsight being 20/20 - I saved $100 by using this simple procedure.
Final note:
Neither Leopard nor Snow Leopard's installation DVD could recognize the bad internal HD when trying to do a reinstall. While DiskUtil was able to "see" the bad internal drive it immediately failed when I tried to do an "erase and format". Took the system to my local Apple store and the Genius ran a tool called "SMART Utility" from Volitans Software (www.volitans-software.com). SMART utility confirmed that my HD was bad so it was replaced. AppleCare pays for itself (once again!).

Best way to store and access all my media over network?

With nearly 500GBs of music, movies and TV in my iTunes library, my G5's hard drive is just about full. And since I tend to watch everything on my significantly faster Macbook Pro via Front Row, it means I have to keep my G5 up and running all the time. Which feels like a huge waste of energy.
So... what's the most efficient way to store and access my media? Here are some ideas off the top of my head. If anyone has any better ideas, please share...
IDEA 1: BUY A TERABYTE EXTERNAL DRIVE AND CONNECT TO MY AIRPORT EXTREME'S USB PORT.
Pros...
1.) No need to keep my G5 up and running all the time, just the router and the external drive connected to it.
2.) All media stored in one iTunes library which can be accessed by any wireless Mac on my network.
Cons...
1.) I have no idea if this would even work.
2.) Would the USB connection be fast enough to play HD content?
3.) Would the Extreme's b/g signal be fast enough?
4.) Would my Macs even recognize an iTunes Library on a USB hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme with no OS of its own?
5.) Even if it were fast enough, could two separate Macs share the same iTunes library?
6.) I'd have to lose my wireless printer, which currently occupies the single USB port in my Airport.
IDEA 2: BUY AN APPLE TIME CAPSULE AND USE ITS INTERNAL DRIVE AS MY ITUNES LIBRARY
Pros...
1.) The internal SATA drive will certainly be faster than any external USB drive.
2.) Get to keep my USB port for wireless printing.
Cons...
1.) Still don't know if it would work.
2.) Would not be able to take advantage of faster 802.11(n) speed, as my G5 tower is b/g only.
3.) Pricey. $500 for a Time Capsule seems excessive not being able to take advantage of n speed boost.
IDEA 3: BUY AN APPLE TV
Pros...
1.) I could watch HD content on my beautiful 30 inch Apple Cinema Display!
2.) I could access all my content wirelessly through my network.
3.) I get to keep my wireless printer wireless.
Cons...
1.) I don't own a TV.
2.) I don't know if Apple TV will even play on my 30 inch Apple Cinema Display.
3.) I don't know if my Macbook Pro will play files from Apple TV.
4.) Apple TV doesn't come with a Terabyte hard drive.
5.) I'm not sure I really understand what Apple TV is. (With a 30 inch Cinema Display, doesn't buying a TV seem redundant?)
IDEA 4: SELL MY G5, BUY A TIME CAPSULE, AND HOPE NO ONE EVER STEALS MY MACBOOK PRO.
Pros...
1.) Can take advantage of that speedy wireless (n) network.
Cons...
1.) Still don't know if a wireless iTunes library stored on a router would work.
2.) What will I do with my 30 inch Apple cinema display?
3.) No backup computer if something ever goes wrong.

Perfectly possible:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library 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.
Back up to the 2TB drie:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

LRv3.2 Networking with an Asst , How to store and retrieve updated work on Win7 Network?
We have a working 1gig network in Win7 PRO 64-bit. and using LRv3.2
* How do I configure our Files or Cataloges "so" ALL Edits are veiwable/edit to all?   (we don't work on the Same Shoot/Folder at the same time)
I NEED to see, ALL the LR Edits (is great with DNG files
*** BUT, what I cannot see if I remember correctly (with just the DNG sharing) is the CROP or Virtual Copys ... possibly the Brush edits.
HOW, do I configure to be able to read and edit ... ALL of the updated/saved Edits???   (after it is done by my asst.)
Is creating a New Catalog for EACH shoot the way to go?   (not sure I like this idea)
Right now everything is in one(1) catalog ... and it's getting big ... BUT, this allows us to search , and group ... going way back.
Would be nice to be able to still do this easily, and with what we have already done.
With our one BIG Catalog ... not sure if two(2) can access this catalog over the Network at the same time?
Even though we never Edit the Same Folder or Files at the same time.
Or will that be a problem over a simple Win7 PRO network?
Thank you,

How the store and retrieval in ServletContext will happen??

Hello Sir,
I am developing a chat application thats in Swing & servlets Now I am able to authenticate user and I am using ArrayList to maintain the names of the user globally my storing it in ServletContext
How to store and retrieve ArrayList from Servletcontext
And another thing is that we are having personal chat(1-to-1) also. But how to use the thread model is not known to us as we have not faced such a situation before
So if you could suggest some example code or snippets ot certain links then it would be of great help to us
Thanks
Regards
Monarch

Hello
thanks for your reply. Actually we are doing the same thing that u have mentioned in your reply.
The thing we are trying to do is that when a user is logged in the particular servlet which is responsible for the authentiacation of the user will authenticate the user an then calls method in the Chatter class which is outside the servlet
The Chatter class declares two mwthods addChatter() and getChatter()
I am managing the currently logged users in Arraylist using this two mehtods above
When the first user logs in his entry gets stored at the first position in the arraylist but when other user logs in then his entry overrites the entry of the first user instead of getting stored in the next position.
The arraylist gets initialized when second user logs in. to overcome this problem i want to store the arraylist into the ServletContext so it will be unique for the whole application and will not get initialized
So I want to know the process of storing and retrieving the arraylist fro the context
Hope ull understand me and reply me
Thanks
Regards

I updated to IOS 8 but my C drive is out of space i couldn't restore my data back; how could move itunes with backup to another drive
or what could i do

There are two solutions . . . I run my iTunes Library off an external hard drive. However, this may limit the portability of your library. Though a La Cie Rugged external would help with that (I love mine, though I use it for diagnostics and repair, not for iTunes--but it does get around).
You can also upgrade your hard drive as was previously suggested. I've bought my recent hardware from: http://www.powerbookmedic.com
They have lots of parts and great manuals!
Good luck!

How to install and reconfigure a new hard drive?

How to install and reconfigure a new hard drive?
I installed a new hard drive from best buy for my "vintage" MacBook laptop. When I turned on the laptop and the flashing folder appeared, I need help?
I looked online for some clues. I put in the software disk I received when I bought the disk but I cannot select a destination volume to install the software. I tired to partition the drive within disk utility but there was an input/output error. Should I just plug in my external hard drive and hope everything reboots like magic ?
Thank you for any help you can give

How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

How to add and configure an additional hard drive.

I will like to know how to install and configure an additional hard drive. I will like to know how to configure the server so the services will start using this additional space. Intel based Xserver. late 2009.
Erik.

Your question is a little vague... "services will start using this additional space..."?
Let's see, where to start.
You don't say how many drives you currently have in your server. If all three drive bays are used then you'll probably need some kind of external array. There are many to choose from.
If you have a spare bay (or two) then you can buy a new drive bay (ADM - Apple Drive Module) (several online vendors still sell them), but you can't just put a bare drive into an empty bay since the blank trays lack the electrical connectors to support a drive.
Once you work out your drive options (internal vs. external, capacity, etc.) you can work out a plan to use them.
The specifics of that will depend on what services you're using. Are you web serving? file serving? home directory serving? or maybe mail? database? something else.
In general, once a drive is attached and initialized (via Disk Utility.app) it's up to you to configure the individual server components to use the space. That typically involves changing some kind of configuration parameter (e.g. httpd.conf for apache, /etc/my.cnf for MySQL, or various options in Server.app for other services) to tell them to use the new volume.
If you want to migrate the entire server to the new drive (e.g. the new drive is larger/faster) then you can clone your existing OS drive to the new drive and just reboot.
So, you see, there are many ways to do this. Everyone's situation will be a little different.

How do I store and access while traveling more than the last 1000 photos using iOS

I would like to store 2 or 3000 photos (unlimited would be even better) that I can search thumbnails and access anytime anywhere without using the GB's on my IOS device for that storage. iPhone and/or iPad devices. iCloud stores the last 1000,,, not sufficient for me. I have iPhoto on my Macbook and a Mac Mini where I store the photos at home. Fee free is highly desired. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Have you tried Dropbox?
https://www.dropbox.com/tour
You can store your photo files in the "pictures" folder and access them from anywhere.
I have iPhoto on my Macbook
Do you take your MacBook with you, when you are travelling? Then the MacBook and a small external drive for backing up the photos should suffice.
