Location where files are saved

I have a 500-GB drive that I have my Final Cut Pro Documents folder saved to.
1. Are there any issues with also storing other documents on this same drive, such as backup directories of iTunes, documents, DVD Studio Pro Documents, etc.?
2. If I want to move my Final Cut Pro Documents folder to another hard drive, if I copy this folder will it copy EVERYTHING related to my projects that I need so I can continue working on them on another drive?
Thanks.

1) We just don't know what kind of drive you are talking about so we assume and hope that it has a reasonable storage reliability (Don't tell me it is a Raid 0)
2) When you work with FCP you have a project and a sequence, clips inhabit the sequence and they represent partial or full extention of a media (the captured footage). You just need to make sure that the saved project with its clips can trace the original media at all times so move files and folders accordingly.

My computer says, "I don't have permission to save files in the location where screenshots are saved"

I need help because I need to use my screenshot function on my Mac Air (running with OSX Lion). Please help.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screencapture.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion. I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

Change where documents are saved

Acrobat X saves documents automatically to my own user directory and will not allow me to save them to "Public" folders - says that isn't authorized. I want them to be saved directly to "Public" folders without having to move the file after it's saved. How do I change this?

All my software installs with User: Jackie on the C Drive as the
administrator, and where files are usually stored by default. But I work in
the User: Public\My Documents folder because my husband and I share files
via our home network. So, when I convert a web page to Acrobat, for
example, the file goes to User:Jackie. When I try to change the location to
User:Public\My Documents, it says I don't have permission to save to this
file and would I want to save it to User:Jackie instead. Which I do. And
then I move it to Public\My Documents. A hassle.
With Microsoft Office, you can indicate your preferences for which is the
default folder is for various types of files. Is there something like that
with Acrobat?
Thanks for you quick response.

Files are saving to desktop instead of into the original folder

Is there a simple fix? Some files, such as Quark files are saving to the desktop, rather than to the folder in which the original file resides. I've checked everywhere for the selection "save to same location as original file.," or some such thing. Help!

No, I'm not seeing m3u as a file extension in about:plugins. I have another computer running an older version of Firefox, 3.6.20, and it calls totem okay. it doesn't have m3u in about:plugins either

Excel files are saved as HTML files

Hi All,
I am saving the output files into a shared location in excel or csv format. However when i ask the users/business to have a look into it then they say that the files are opening as html web page and not able to load properly.
I checked it myself and found it true, all the xls and csv files are saved with .xls and .csv format only but when i try to open it and do as 'save as' then it by default tries to save it as a webpage. Is there any way i can correct this so the file is actually saved as xls only.
Please suggest
Thanks
Ronny

Hi Gareth,
I am using BI Publiser to ftp my report to the shared location. This is what it involves
[1] build the report in BIP
[2] while scheduling the report in BIP use sftp option to save the output file to the shared location
this is simple process to export the files to the desired location. Now while doing that ...i choose the output format ( template format) as excel and give the extension of the file as .xls.
The files does get saved as xls file but then when i try to save that agian to another location by opening it than it, by default , tries to save it as web page ....similarly when i ask business to have a look at the output files and when they open it than it opens as a web page .....wheareas it should be an excel file ..
Please revert if you require more elaborate explanation
Thanks

Documents saved to the desktop won't be shared to iCloud. Which operating system are you using on the Mac.

When I take a screenshot (command, shift, 4), I get an error: "you don't have permission to save files in the location where screenshots are stored". Help!

I used to be able to take screenshots just fine.
Now, when I try to take a screenshot (using command + shift + 4) I get an error stating that my screenshot cannot be saved, because I do not have permission to save where they are stored. HELP!

If not running Lion, please do this:
With the Finder active, press the following key combinations, in this order:
Shift-Command-H
Command-3
Command-I
The Info window for your home folder will open. Click the lock icon to authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you should have read & write access. If not, make it so. Regardless of whether you made any changes, select "Apply to enclosed items" from the action (gear icon) menu.
If running Lion, do this:
Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities > Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if not already selected.
Under “Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs”, click the “Reset” button.
Select Apple menu > Restart from the menu bar.

Terminal Command, how to set defaults write, make application(s) use directory path where file last saved?

Does anyone know whether there's a terminal command to make all applications remember/use the last directory/path where I last saved a file?
For example, let's say there are (10) ten PDF's on a website, and I want to use Preview.app to open and save each file to the same directory.
Problem is, after each time I save a file, Preview.app doesn't automatically remember/use the last directory where I saved my file(s).
Forcing me to navigate back to the same directory after each time I save a file; super-annoying.
But, for some reason, when saving images from the web, Firefox remembers the last directory where I saved the file (jpeg).
So I'm hoping there's some way, possibly a terminal command to set/force all applications (including Preview.app) to remember/use the directory/path where file(s) were last-saved.
Anyone?

Get the third-party utility Default Folder X 4.4.9.

How to view Photoshop files are saved in the iPhoto library in Bridge?

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

I use audio memos and files are saved in icloud. while updating audio memo the apps stop working. i cannot access the apps. how can i retrieve the files saved in icloud ?

I can't access the audio memo apps but i can see under usage - manage storage that all the files are located in icloud. how to extract .wav files from icloud if the apps is no longer responding to fileshare in itunes? Thanks.

yes it was solved some time ago. i cant remember exactly but i think i disconnected from the internet and tried accessing the audio apps (or maybe i had accessed the apps first then only turned off internet i cant remember) thereafter the files were in my local apps and then I turned off use icloud. i suggest you backup your ipad on itunes before trying anything. All the best - hope you solve your problem.

Finding where my iweb site files are saved

I need help. My original hd crashed so I have a new one to run my computer. I dragged and dropped all my apps to the new hd as told by a I.T. friend and now I am supposed to format the old hd to use a storage space. Will my website files be gone. Are they actually saved online. Where would I located the actual page files so I can copy them over or did they when I dragged the files over. I have a feeling I am going to have to reinstall all my ilife 06' software but I don't want to start from scratch for my website. I also had to archive and install the new hd because my old one eventually did something to where I couldn't even start from the new one.

As Roddy was trying to tell you, if you found the "domain" file and it's the right one (double click on it and it will start iweb) you can move it to the same folder on the new drive.
Actually you can store it wherever you want. Iweb will look at the last file loaded.
Hopefully what you found is the right file.
If it is BACK IT UP!!
good luck
