IMovie - need to auto save to MyVideos. Where is the preference?

iMovie - I need to save all my iMovie imports, "MyVideos" folder might work.
How do I make any folder the default folder to save certain documents?
Looked in Preferences. Everything winds up in Home.

All your imports should be in the <user>/Movies/iMovie Events folder.
What version of iMovie are you using?

Auto-save document is where?

Pages quit unexpectedly. Now I want to find the auto-save document. Where is it?

Pages does not auto save. It will save a previous copy saved, if you set it to in Preferences.
You need to install a 3rd part application like ForeverSave which comes in a free Lite version, and works for all OSX applications.
Best is to learn to save by habit whenever you get to a point you don't want to lose.
+command s+ is easy to remember and to do.

Upgraded to Lion. Numbers is stalling to auto save after every keystroke. Isn't auto save supposed to run in the background?

It's supposed to save when the processor isn't triggered by the user. If you type slowly, time between two strokes may be sufficient to allow it to start the save process.

Why are documents on the Lion upgrade so impersonal: Save a Version(where is the original that I created)?

I keep thinking of the old, original TV show, "Outer Limits" in which the narrator tells us that he has control.
We are entering into the new nanny state, in which personal control is being minimized.

New imovie project - no auto save, losing work.

new user here....this is my scenario: I create a new imovie project and add in all the video clips, photos, transitions, titles, music, etc. It is looking good but it is getting late so I will finish this the project tomorrow. There is no save function so I just shut down the computer. Next day I open my project and the auto save function has not worked. A few video clips have been saved but 90% of my work has just disappeared. What have I done wrong?
Supporting info - brand new IMAC9,1 with Snow Leopard, 1 terrabyte memory + 2 terrabyte timecapsule.

normally it should save.
Sometimes if you don't give the project a name it is easy to start another new project with the same default name - "new project"
Sometimes I have noticed that if I have a title edit screen open and do not click done, it will not save.
Also, did you shut down iMovie before shutting down your computer? It should not matter but it couldn't hurt.
The Project File is a text file and it is updated after every edit.
Some people have reported that when they use two many of the fancy titles (Quartz Extreme titles) that their project gets corrupted and wont save. I haven't experienced this myself, because I keep my titles pretty simple.
Maybe others will have ideas as well.

IMovie no longer auto-saves?

I have imovie '09 and lately my videos don't save automatically. If I close imovie and open it back up again any projects I have been working on are gone. Also, all past projects I have worked on are not viewable. This first starting happening when I reinstalled iLife because imovie would freeze and crash every time I opened it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Not sure what's causing these symptoms... Here's a couple of things you could try:
A> Ensure you have the latest update of iM09 using Software Update tool.
B> When you're done editing a project, go back to the Project Viewer and use the Duplicate Project option in the context menu when you right-click on your project. This way, you'll have a copy of your project, before you exit iMovie. I do this for safe measure on longer projects
C> Use the Share -> QT Export option to save a rendered copy in the highest resolutoin you're working with... this way, at least you have a backup version if iM doesn't save your project!

Where is the Preferences Folder in Mac OS X 10.9?

Hi,
I'm having some problems learning the new operating system Mac OS X 10.9.1. I'm looking for the Preferences Folder or the Library Folder for a User Account. Can anyone tell me where to fine it, please?
Thank you in advance of your time,
Mel.

You can make it permanently visible by going to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

Where does the preference list for Safari reside

The Safari I use on my MBP 10 on this computer works like a charm (knock on wood) but on my MBP 07 it can not even remember how to open a local file when it loads and regardless of how many different thing I have tried it refuses to remember the preference I have set, so I'm suspecting that the preference are not being saved in the preference list, so I'm wondering where it is and is ut safe to edit or delete?

First close Safari
Home/Library/Preferences
Look for
com.apple.Safari.plist
com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
Also:
Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
history.plist
lastsession.plist
And
Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
(These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
They will all be recreated next time you launch Safari.

Where Can the Preference Settings to place in the .INI File Found

I can not find a lot of the settings that are found on the drop down list under the Menu item Edit - Preferences. Specifically I am looking for the setting to stop Acrobat asking clients to update. I know it can be done manually. I deliver Acrobat over the company network to thousands of clients of which my helpdesk cannot go to everyone of them. Where is the setting found. In the .ini file or in the registry and what is the actual code to be placed in the .ini file or the HKey in the registry?

Here's how to find various registry keys:
1. Open RegEdit. Navigate to HKCU and Export The Adobe Acrobat hive under the Software/Adobe key. Close regedit
2. Launch Acrobat and make your preference change.
3. Open Regedit again and export the Adobe Acrobat hive again. Us a program that can compare text and find the change thats was made.

Hi Mate, I've had the same problem with my Alpine stereo I think.
I've found a few posts about trying an old .iswp file I think it is.
I use it in my car alot so I don't think I'll be upgrading it again.
Good luck,
Leon.
