IMovie Theatre -- Moving to a New Location

Is there a way to move the location of iMovie Theater to a external drive? I set up a iMovie Library (using iMovie 10.0) on my external, but no iMovie Theater was set up on the external, and was only found on my local drive. Whenever I export a clip or finished project to iMovie Theater, the created file goes to the iMovie Theater on my local drive?
Anyone find a way to move the iMovie Theater location to the external drive?

Hi Frank,
I am just too stupid to do it as I don't play with terminal commands very often. If I want to move the iMovie Theatre to the Volume "Archive" what do I have to do?
ln -s (Archive)/iMovie\ Theater.theater ~/Movies/iMovie\ Theater.theater
ex: ln -s /Volumes/External\ Drive/iMovie\ Theater.theater ~/Movies/iMovie\ Theater.theater
Do I have to copy the entire thing in one line or do I have to hit return twice? Sorry for asking but I just can't handle it. I don't even get what "ex:" means.
Thanks in advance
Thomas

Moved G5 to new location, airport not working

I just moved my G5 downstairs to the same exact place where I typically use my laptop (powerbook G4). Never had an issue with the laptop recognizing airport and going online, but now my G5 won't show any networks at all and I can't get airport to work.
Is there something I should be changing in the settings or how can I get airport to work on my G5 in the new location?
Thanks much!

Hello BDAqua
No problem, I do quite a bit of experimenting with my Macs and find out some weird things, but some are working to my advantage, I always operate my Power Mac G5 without the side panel now, but of course keep the air deflector in place, unless theres company coming over, then I replace the side access panel. Also, there is an antenna inside the G5. It runs along the opposite side of the G5 case behind the logic board to the rear of the case, where the external antenna is connected. So by removing the side access panel, it allows for moderate reception. =) As mentioned earlier though, definitely not as good as the external antenna, but when used without the access panel in combination with the external antenna, it get better reception than my 1.25GHz iMac G4 did. And by the way, this also is true for Bluetooth as well, as I have a Bluetooth Board installed in my G5. =) I loaded my G5 once I bought it (Used).
Regards again. =)

BO6.5 ORB error after moving server to new location

Post Author: seetr
CA Forum: Older Products
Our server was forklifted to a new location within our network, so the IP address changed but everything else remains the same. Now we are unable to restart the BO server. We found a location in the Configuration Tools > ORB setting where the IP was hardcoded. We were able to change the IP after stopping all BO services running on the server, but we could not complete the setting change as we keep getting the following error - "Configuration script cannot be started (Error: CFT 06002)". Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
What steps did you perform in the Configuration Tools to update the IP address? Can you provide details?
You may have to Update the ORB or completely recreate it.
Note that if you recreate the ORB, you need to backup your Storage folder.
But before proceeding with the above, please check the following note:
1182500 - Error: "Configuration script cannot be started(Error: CFT 06002)" when customer trying to update the ORB
Symptom
When trying to update the ORB the following error message appears: "Configuration script cannot be started(Error: CFT 06002)" You are then unable to ping the IP address for a server name.
Cause
The "C:/Winnt" or "Windows/System32" value is missing for the System variable PATH.
Resolution
Perform the following steps:
- Add C:/Winnt or Windows/System32 to the System variable PATH.
- Reboot the server.
- Update the ORB.
Hope this help.
Regards,
Jeff

Moved desktop to new location in home, can't connect to internet

Quick bit of background- I was using a _PowerMac G4_ downstairs in my house with a _2Wire (wireless modem)_ connection. Upstairs, I had a PC also on the 2Wire. Both connected to the net just fine.
A couple of days ago, the PC died, so I moved the PowerMac upstairs to where the PC was. Now, I am unable to pick up the internet using the 2Wire attachement. The message that I get is: +"Safari could not log in because you are not connected to the internet."+
The other thing that I noticed is that I do not have the AIRPORT icon in the top right of my monitor. Instead of the three or four curved lines, one beneath the next, I am seeing an icon that looks like a telephone receiver. The impression that I get is that either AIRPORT is turned off or that the computer doesn't recognize that it has it installed.
I've tried all of the normal HELP routes:
+- Restarting the modem+
+- Going to Apple icon -> System Preferences -> Network -> (when I get this far, AIRPORT is not listed in the left-hand column as an option, nor is it listed in the drop down for CONFIGURATION).+
+- I click on ASSISTANT but, although AIRPORT is listed, I can't select it as one of the options.+
I tried SBC Yahoo U-verse tech support but they don't have a lot of training with Apple products so I didn't get very far with them.
I recall, when I first placed the G4 in its original location, I had a similar problem. I was able to resolve it through U-verse tech support after a bit of time. I wish that I could remember the details, but I think that it had something to do with the version of OS X that I had not recognizing AIRPORT and having to perform some sort of cheat. (For the heck of it, I tried U-verse support a couple of times hoping that maybe the next tech that I got might know about this issue, but no luck so far).
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
*PowerMac G4*
*OS X 10.5.8*
*Wireless Connection through 2Wire Gateway 3800 HGV-B modem*

Three tips that may help out in your situation:
• Your Airport card might have a loose connection; open your tower and make sure the card's properly connected; if the airport card itself is malfunctioning, replace it with a new one; otherwise, you won't be able to add a preferred network name in Apple pulldown/System Preferences/Network.
• Consider getting a better modem/router (e.g., 7550 ADSL2+Gateway); from what I understand, the 2-WIRE routers are based on older, less reliable technology.
• Make sure the security protocol's set to WEP; that's the only protocol that the Airport card in a PowerMac G4 can understand. If you try to set the security protocol to WPA, the handshaking between WPA and the Airport card will fail and your computer won't be able to join new networks. In short, WPA's not backwards-compatible with PowerMac G4s; it's only compatible with the newer Intel-based Macs, which, by the way, are more flexible than PowerMac G4s in that they can communicate with a broader range of security protocols, including WEP and WPA.
Good luck.

Authorization and moving to a new location

When I moved from my parents house to my boyfriends house Itunes said that my computer was not authorized even though it was the exact same computer. I was wondering if there's anyway to get around that? If I were to e-mail customer support and explain my situation would they be able to change it to only 1 computer authorized? The reason I'm asking is I have a desktop and I just bought a laptop. So according to Itunes I already have 2 computers authorized and I haven't done my laptop yet so that would be 3. My boyfriends getting a new desktop and I was wanting to authorize his so that would be 4 computers. What ***** is I'm moving out of state soon so if I had 4 computers authorized already when I move it's going to say they aren't authorized and I'll only have room for 1 more computer to be authorized. I wanted to authorize the computers I wanted authorized and deauthorize the 1 since it's the same computer before I move so I can listen to my music on my laptop or the desktop but I don't want to have it say they aren't authorized when I move. Also I'm not moving for another 2 months or so. Any ideas? Hopefully this wasn't too confusing lol.

ok I think I understand now lol. This stuff can be a bit confusing. So what you're saying is let's say I have 4 computers authorized I can deauthorize and then reauthorize them as many times as I want in a year but if I have 5 computers I can only deauthorize all and then reauthorize all once a year? Is that what you meant if so thank-you for answering my question it is solved.

I have a Imack osx desktop and have got a few videos normally that can be seen in imovie theatre , these now I cannot locate , it says in Icloud now ...but how do i get them back in to imovie theatre ?

I would suggest trashing your Preferences files. It may fix it, and if it doesn't work, it wont hurt anything.

IMovie can't find events now moved to a new internal drive

I installed a second 1Tbit drive and moved my photos, movies, music and documents from the primary drive to the new drive. I also created alias's for each of these folders.
Although iTunes didn't care about the alias, and Aperture reset it's file location automatically as well - the media browser had a problem. I have the new version of iLife but had not yet opened iPhoto - but when I did it rebuilt it's library and then showed up. Deleting the alias for the photo folder entirely let Aperture show up - but iMovie is whacked. I can see only one simple short event that I had opened immediately after installing iLife - even though this event is no longer on the main drive, it's over on the second drive and "Show in Finder" clearly showed it in the new location.
But all the other events and video files are not visible. I can see them in Finder, and if I click on them I get to see them play just fine. But attempts to import them return an error
Copy Failed
This file could not be copied:
/Volumes/RR-2nd TB/y User Files/Movies/iMovie Projects.localized/Teah ISR Second Year - Larg.m4v
(File not Found)
But the file is most certainly there and the file opens just fine if I click on it. As the alias for the folder seemed to be an issue for Photos, but once deleted Media Browser could indeed see the Aperture library, I have also deleted the alias file for iMovie - no improvement.
I have deleted and let recreate the preferences file - but this only removed the one file I could see.
Both drives are Mac OS Extended (Jorunaled) - and both report no errors.
Trying this and that, iMovie has created a new folder for iMovie Events on the second drive, and if I move things into this they suddenly appear - but not my projects.
I can certainly move the Movie folder back to the main drive, but the intent was to free up space on that drive, and to increase performance by having the application on one drive and the user data on another.
I can't be the only person to ever move the Movie folder - but I can't find any current and helpful info on the matter. I do see that a few others have recently expereinced some issues with external drives and iMovie - might be a similar issue.

You can move Projects and Events to and external drive, but you must move them from within iMovie. If you move them using the Finder, it will make the projects unusable.
I would recommend that you move all projects and events back to your original drive.
Then open iMovie and verify that all is well.
Now, click View/Events by Disk, and you should see your new drive in the Events List on the left.
To move an event, hold the command key while dragging the icon for the event to the icon for the disk in the iMovie Event List.
To move a project, hold down the command key while dragging the Project icon to the icon for the new drive in the Project List.
Doing it this way will preserve the links between your Projects and your Events.

After moving files to new iMac, an iMovie project won't play audio music tracks

I bought new imac. Transferred files using target disk method and firewire - drag and drop. All files appear to have moved OK to new imac. But when I try to resume working on an imovie project that I had started on the old imac, the itunes music clips I dragged into a series of clips does not play the music, even though the green bar appears under the clips and the audio adjustments appear to be the same as in the old imac, which I still have. The audio that is "built in" to the original clips when the videos were made on the camera are still there and play. Help, please ? Thanks.

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
Yours Bengt W

I moved iTunes folder location, now all my personal song ratings and playlists are gone. How can I get them back? All the iTunes files are intact, just in a new location. Running iTunes 11.1.5.5

How do I get photos to show in my collections folders after moving photos to a new location?

After exporting my main folder to a new location along with the .lrcat and .lrdata files, along with my backup files, all of my collections folders show zero images in them. I need to somehow link these files together to get my collections back. The pnotos are there, just not showing in the collection folders.

Whats the simplest and most easily mainted method for storing files? Do folks dump them into one huge file and then sort with Lr collections or do they import into smaller files AND sort with collections.
I would like to back up the mess I have and use collections but not sure if there is an efficent way to do so.
I believe that sometimes you are using the word "file" to mean "folder"
The simplest and easiest way to manage files is to use the default import mechanism in Lightroom, which is to put them into folders by capture date. This takes zero effort on your part. From that point on, you NEVER move them, how simple is that? (there is one exception which I shall explain in a minute) and then you use Lightroom tools ... keywords and other metadata, to allow you to organize and search.
Backups are accomplished by making a backup of both your catalog file and all of your photos.
The exception to never moving your photos is when you need to move them to a new hard disk or new computer, then of course you should move them.

I moved my iphoto folder to a new location by mistake. I've moved it back to its original location, but iphoto no longer sees the photos. What step(s) am I missing to return to the setup I had.

I am trying to back up all of my photos to a thumb drive. Is there a way to do this thru iphoto?

Witholut knowing what you did, it's hard to know what you missed doing, no?
Try Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
Backing up just the Photos? File ->Export
Backing up the Library?
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. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate

Just bought a 2tb external hard drive with the intention of moving my iPhoto data files on it. I have so much of my 500 gigs being used up by images and video. Questions: Will this foul up my iPhoto app? Do I need to point iPhoto to this new location?

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
Assuming a Managed Library:
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.

New location in iMovie

How do I enter a new location in imovie?
thank you

Just had this same problem. The solution is to turn Location Services on before launching iPhone iMovie.
Yes, iMovie needing GPS coordinates is crazy, as is the error message that doesn't correctly explain the problem. Looks like a bit of a rush job.

Moving still images to a new location

I am part way through creating a slide show and I would like to move the image files to a new location on my HDD. I think there is a Move tool to do this in Premiere Elements 7 without breaking the links and having to reconnect the images however I cannot find the way to do it.
Can anyone help?
Doug.

As Neale points out, the "Where is file ____ ?" message will pop up on the first "missing" file, and then PrE will help you locate the new folder/drive. For all Assets, in the same folder, once you find the first, PrE will then look in that folder and relink to all others in that folder. If you have moved several folders of Assets, you will need to do the Find, for each folder, and PrE will find all Assets in THAT folder. "Rinse and repeat... "
As a suggestion on how to set up your Project for the next time, I always create what will be my Project's root folder, with the Project's name. Below that, I will create one folder each for: Video, Audio, Music, Stills, Titles ( often use PS to create Titles as PSD files), and then point PrE to locate my Scratch Disks/Media Cache "Same as Project." Though there is a tiny performance hit, by setting that last location, it keeps everything within my Project's file structure. This allows me to Move, or, when done, Delete everything. With the exception of Captures, the Assets in each of those folders is a Copy, and the originals are still safely located on my NAS - just in case.
Good luck,
Hunt
