Iweb video storage

At the moment I have several videos stored on my .mac account. I web wants my videos stored in my movies folder on the HD. How do I get iweb to get the videos already stored in my .mac account that are all ready in use in my old web site. I want to redo my web site with I web but don't want to fill up my hard drive. I have 2gb of space in my .mac account and I like storing videos and pdf files there now. Why does Iweb need thngs in special folders? etc... just learning I web Thanks

When you publish a site with iWeb you get a new folder in your iDisk called Web, this is where your iWeb site resides.
Your old address, assuming you are using homepage is:
http://homepage.mac.com/username
You are correct, iWeb will create a new address.
http://web.mac.com/username
You can either stop using your old url, or put a redirect on it to your new site.
No need to delete your old site, but you will end up with everything on your iDisk twice, as iWeb creates the site from scratch. Be aware that you can link to your old pages from within iWeb if you really dont want to re-upload movies, but of course you will have a different look and feel.

Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and Time Capsule (for music and videos)

Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and Time Capsule (for music and videos)

Not via Time Machine. It cannot back up from a network location.
The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
EDIT: And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port. Second TC not required.

What is the best way to set up an external drive for video storage

What is the best way to set up an external drive for video storage?

Check the formatting. It need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). This is also known as HFS+.
FAT32 and NTFS formatting will not work with iMovie.
If necessary, you can reformat using Disk Utility.
Make one large partition. No need for multiple partitions.
Do moves or copies to the external drive through iMovie as detailed in iMovie Help. If you move Events in the Finder, they may become unlinked from the projects that use them.

External storage for early 08 mac pro for video storage and editing

Early 08 Mac Pro mod 3.1, 2x Intel 2.8 Quad Core Processors. Bus speed 1.6 Ghz. 10 GB DDR2 FB-Dimm 800 MHz. USB2, Firewire 400, 800. ATI Radeon HD 2600 PCIe 256 mbVRAM. Currently running OS 10.6.8.
I use machine for photo and video storage and editing. I tried using 2x 3TB and 2x1TB HDD internally ( 8 TB total). All are Seagate Barracuda SATA 7200. Experienced constant spinning wheel and lockup requiring manual shutdown. I had upgraded to Lion and to Maverick. Did not help so I did a clean install of primary with Snow Leopard and did not install past 10.6.8. Works now if I don’t exceed 3.5 TB internally. I also discovered that my Disk Permissions experienced voluminous corruption that could not be repaired if I installed Java for Mac OS 10.6 Update 17 as suggested each time I check for software updates.
I need to be able to have a total of about six TBs available in my system for storage and editing of video via Imovie. I don’t know the maximum of HDD storage that can be used in the four internal bays without causing lockup and corruption. If 3.5 TB is about the max, then I would like to have some ability to have external storage via firewire 800 if that would facility fast enough transfer for either video edition and or playback. I don’t know if thunderbolt can be installed via PCI card. I could add a SATA PCI card. However, I assume that would cause the same problem as experienced with 8 TBs installed internally in the four bays.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

Do you mean 2x2TB and 2x3TB for a total internal capacity of 10TBs? Are you running Snow Leopard or something else? Actually, I took it to an authorized repair facility who ran checks and said nothing is wrong with the hardware.
Yes, I've got a total of to TB and I'm running Snow Leopard. If your hardware checks out, that pretty much makes it a software problem,,, reinstall the OS?
Does the High Point Technologies SATA3 PCIe connect to eternal drive enclosures or does it somehow connect to drives in some of your four internal bays?
Highpoint makes several RocketRAID 2700 series SATA3 controllers for Mac with external mini-SAS connectors, probably the cleanest/least expensive external hook-up. They also offer a combo internal/external board that (for marketing reasons) is listed as not working for internals with Mac Pro. I believe that this is due to pressure from Apple (who apparently does some business with High Point Tech) but to the best of my knowledge it will. Technically, the "not supported" statement is true since all the internal bays are tied to the motherboard SATA 2 controller, but this can be remedied with a special cable. HOWEVER... the boards are not bootable, so your system disk needs to be on the motherboard controller.
In truth, I bought one of their 8-port "internal only" boards designated for PC only and flashed it so the Mac Pro sees it as a 2722 board, so I have 8 internal ports. I'm not recommending you do the same unless you're pretty geeky, but the 2721 would give you half-and-half or the 2722 would give you 8 external with no mods to the board.

Prosumer video storage: sub $1000 firewire solutions

This question has been asked before [1], but that thread went in a different direction.
I want to edit and manage about 0.7 to 1.0 TB of family video on hard drives, perhaps using FCPX. My home backup and data management won't scale to this level.
I'd like to hear what other prosumers do for $1000 or less (I assume professional setups are different.)
I'm assuming something like this:
3 1TB drives
RAID 0 setup with two drives (OS X RAID?)
Periodically take one drive offsite, the mirror rebuilds. (So only real backup is offsite backup, every year retire one drive and add another)
Mac formatted drives (so presumably not SAN/Drobo, though low-end DROBO is in my price range)
I assume over time, as drive capacity grows, I'll integrate my video storage with my other data use/backup. For a few years though they'll be different. For example: Video work would kill my Time Capsule Wifi backup.
Any suggestions? What vendors do you like?
[1] https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3664396?start=0&tstart=0

Sorry, got my RAIDs switched! I do want redundancy.
I use CCC as a Time Capsule complement for routine backup, so I could go that route rather than RAID.
I woud like a solution where I didn't have to deal with multiple power cords and multiple data connectors.
What do you think of the LaCie d2 or 2big solutions? They have a new thunderbolt series out with MacOS RAID (so presumably FCPX compatible)
http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?id=10573
The LaCie 2Big 4TB solution is $650. With a 3rd drive to swap offsite I'd be in budget.
The Pegasus R4 Thunderbolt solution is a bit higher end, but is sold through the Apple store:

At $1150 it's over my budget, but it's something to think about ...

HD video storage for Final Cut Pro HD suite

I'm looking at setting up a Final Cut Pro HDCAM online suite, and I need to know what RAID system would be best for video storage. My reseller has told me that SANman systems are much better than Apple Xserve RAIDs, because of the data transfer rates. Can anyone tell me what systems they are running and what data rates are needed?

Hi,
Apple Xserve RAIDs are great but not cheap. Never heard of SANman, though!
Depends on whether you want a cheeper system to start with or ... HD uncompressed (single stream) needs sustained data rates of 200 MB/s. We have an HD system running OK (Media100HD, not FCP, though, but it shouldn't make a difference) with 4 large ULTRA ATA discs, striped with a cheap controller. The whole storage solution (1600 GB) costs less than $1500. Write back if you need the details.

How do i increase video storage

My iPhone only records a few minutes of video, then it stops and says that there is no more storage. It also says to change the video storage in settings. but I can't find where to make the change?

Not on the device itself. You can remove content that you don't use too often and transfer it into iTunes to get back space - or simply delete stuff and download it again if you want - but you cannot add storage capacity to the device itself.

Video storage for all videos: In iPhoto? In iTunes? In iMovie? Or...?

I want a simple solution to gain acces to all my videos on Apple TV
I want to have all my videos in ONE PLACE!!! Right now they are scattered all over my system. I don´t want to search iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes and different folders every time I want to play my different video files and movies on... let´s say Apple TV. Why can´t we have ONE deticated unified "storage and play back" solution for all our video files on Mac OSX? Or at least a front-end that showcases ALL your videos and that is enabled to fetch ANY of those videos for directly playback right there.
I do understand the need for different input solutions/apps for videos such as iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes, Aperture. BUT after processing (or what ever you do with your videos) in those Apps, it would be great to be able to transfer... or keep a grand overwiev of all your videos and movies... in ONE place!
Right now I have video file duplicates all over the place because I want to acces videos easily on my Apple TV and from what ever of the following apps I have open... iTunes - iPhoto - iMovie- (Vimeo) - (Youtube).
I can acces all of my music in ONE place in iTunes. I want a simular "ONE place solution" for my... holiday videos... my downloaded videos... my production videos (iMove etc.) etc. etc.
My question for now is: As we don´t have a proper solution for this yet, then what is at the present, the best and most simple solution to gain acces to my many different videos via Apple TV? I would like to avoid a media server and keep the files on my Mac.

If you want to play them on AppleTV, they need to be in iTunes - simplest way to do this from iMovie is using Share to menu and adding to iTunes.

IWeb video play button doesn't work

I've got several videos on my website, but for some reason the play buttons don't work. You can play the video by double clicking it, but you can't even activate the play button.

Re: iWeb play buttons not working and your fix about showing the different elements of the page.
I too had problems with the slideshow play buttons not working (iWeb '09). Whether I published to a folder or the internet, the buttons just wouldn't work. After spending much too much time on it, I almost gave up. Until I read your post about one element overlapping another. Although my problem was slightly different then the one you were addressing, your post gave me the answer I needed.
Here's the problem and the fix:
I created the typical 'Photos' page. But I got too fancy and that was the problem! For design reasons, I put a frame around the outside of the 'Photos' element. Using the 'Shapes' tool, I created a frame with a thin ruled border and had a 'fill' of 'none.' The 'none' fill made it possible to see the photos and buttons through the frame I made. Kind of like a hole in the frame so I could see through it. It was the last thing I did, so it was on top of everything else. It was the top element on the page. AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM: IT WAS THE TOP ELEMENT. IT BLOCKED THE BUTTONS UNDERNEATH FROM WORKING! Even though I saw the photos and buttons ('Play Slideshow' & 'Subscribe') through the 'hole' I had in the frame, the frame was still on top and blocked the buttons from functioning. iWeb didn't recognize the 'none' fill and saw the frame as completely opaque. As soon as I made the frame the back element on the page (Arrange>Send To Back), all the buttons worked!!! Everything looked exactly the same to the naked eye as it first did, but now iWeb saw it differently and everything, all the buttons, worked.
Since this situation doesn't seem to be documented anywhere in iWeb, I thought I'd pass the info along.
Although I still have some things that bother me about iWeb, the program is looking a lot better to me today then it did yesterday!

Managing video storage with iOS8 - video usage not showing

I've typically deleted video (iTunes tv shows) using manage storage/usage from General settings. For some reason video data usage is not showing and I'm not aware of any other means of freeing up space. I'm not able to delete directly from video itself once data has been downloaded. Help!
thanks!

Hello vmclelland,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To delete videos from your iPad running iOS 8 please follow the steps below.
Delete a video from iPad. Tap Edit in the upper right of your collection, then tap on the video thumbnail. If you don’t see the Edit button, look for on your video thumbnails—those videos haven’t been downloaded to iPad, so you can’t delete them. To delete an individual episode of a series, tap the series, then swipe left on the episode in the Episodes list.
Deleting a video (other than a rented movie) from iPad doesn’t delete it from the iTunes library on your computer or from your purchased videos in iCloud, and you can sync the video or download it to iPad again later. If you don’t want to sync a deleted video back to iPad, set iTunes to not sync the video. See Sync with iTunes.
Important: If you delete a rented movie from iPad, it’s deleted permanently and cannot be transferred back to your computer.
Add videos to your library
Take care,
Alex H.

Using dvd as video storage

I have a dv camera that uses the mini cassetes which hold about 1 hour of video. I want to transfer the 1 hour of video straight to a dvd for storage. I use the onestep dvd button and everything works fine, but, after about 15 minutes of video the program stops and wants to burn on the dvd. What is happening? is the program not compressing the data for the dvd burn? The dvd will hold 4.7 GB of information. All I want to do is transfer directly from tape to disc for file storage. Any thoughts on why I'm having so much difficulty would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Fireguy
Have not tried this function but I can speculate.
a. Save Your original miniDV tapes - DVD disks are no good substitute.
b. The information on a 60 min miniDV tape is huge. When imported to
Your Mac (it will be compressed on Your hard disk) it will take about 13 Gb.
So there has to be a lot of coding to fit the material on a 4.7Gb disk and
to be able to play the DVD it has to be in mpeg2 coding (which also lowers
the quality)
My guess is that "onestep" has to make a lot of calculating and this needs
space on the hard disk to be done.
When I work in iMovie a 60 min project needs about 13Gb + 5 - 15 Gb for
editing. Then an additional 20Gb needs to be free for iDVD to work with.
I think that Your Mac has some cleaning to do after 15 min to get more
space to continue with.
Yours guessing Bengt W

IWeb video issues for Evo with Droid

Here is my setup. I dragged a bunch of MP4's into IPhoto to make an album. Then I opened IWeb and created an album page. I then dragged the newly made album from IPhoto into the well on the IWeb page. Then I set the poster frame on each video and put the videos in order. I did not check auto play. Next I published to a folder and then FTP'd that to my Godaddy account.
When I open the page with my desktop machine, I click the album, then a video and the video pops up with the control bar underneath. I hit play and all is beautiful. Now with my evo, I open the page, click the album, then a video. The poster frame of the video pops up but there is no control bar. There is no way to play the file. In the upper right is a small link that says download. When I click that, the video opens and plays fine.
My question is that I am afraid people won't see this little download link. Is it supposed to work this way or will I need to somehow add a disclaimer to let people know they need to click this in order to play? It is really small and I don't think people will see it.
Here is the link if there are any mobile viewers out there. http://www.texasmusicchannel.net/TMC_Beta/MMB/MMB.html
Also, is there anyway to get the nicer looking controlbar from QT 10?
Jeff

Have you tried a restart from device info, reset options? This will resolve many problems and is the first thing I would try. I have not heard of any problems with the YouTube app. I have tested the YouTube app on my own Pre Plus an it is working without any issues. Have you installed any 3rd party (homebrew) apps? Some times this can cause a problem with installed apps.

IPod Video Storage Question

I have an older 30 GB iPod Video (called the Classic now, I think?). I keep only music on it, and while I've long since outgrown the storage capacity, I like to keep it as full as possible.
I understand that I only have about 28 GB of usable space, but when I sync my music I'm also showing about 1.8 GB of "Other". What is this? Since only music is set to sync the only thing I can think of is album artwork. I feel like there's a way to disallow album art from syncing, but I can't seem to find it.
Any help appreciated.

Hello KeenerKat,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
The Other section could apply to any Notes, files you may have stored on the iPod (if you have it enabled as an external hard disc), album artwork as you noted, and lastly, some of it is decidicated to the iPod's O/S or software. So basically, there will always be space occupied by this section on your iPod.
If you feel as though the amount of space occupied by the Other section is unusually large (in the GB's) then I would recommend restoring the iPod via iTunes. Of course, much of this space in your case may be applied or due to the album artwork stored on the iPod.
If you have upgraded to iTunes 9, then the option to not include album artwork is no longer available. No word on if it will ever be returned either. You could suggest getting it back to Apple through the link below.

Hope this helps.
