Memory management, Moving media files.

Hi guys.
I've just recently installed a 4GB MSD/HC card with a view to freeing up some memory on the phone itself. I was hoping to move all my music, videos and images to the memory card.
The images moved across fine with only a little bit of trouble from "Desktop Photo Applet", but once I redirected it to the card things are now OK there.
I'd also like to do the same with all the music tracks and videos that are stored in phone memory, but as soon as I moved most of the music tracks, media player started going mammaries skyward, complaining it couldn't find tracks. needless to say I moved them back and didn't bother trying to move the videos.
Is there any effective way of doing this?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

did you give the media player enough time to refresh the files?
When I've moved stuff before, after a few seconds the media player says obtaining information on new media files.
Once it has refreshed, everything worked ok

Moving media files to networked hard drive

I just moved my media files to a hard drive connected to my time capsule. I thought I did it the way we're supposed to: specifying a new library location, and then organizing the library so that all of the files get copied to the new location. That worked fine, but when I start itunes (10) and do a command-I on a song, the file location is still the old one. I changed the directory name of the old media folder, and even moved the folder outside of the itunes folder, and every time I start itunes it still points to the old library. When I check my settings, the new library location is listed as the default library, but it seems as if the itunes library file is still looking for the old media folder. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks!

I am having the same issue as well...

Moving Media Files

I just purchased a Synology NAS with a built in iTunes server and want to move my files from my secondary drive onto the NAS. I know this question has been asked about a hundred times, but my situation doesn't seem to be the same. Currently I have two different users (my wife and I) on the PC, each with a different library file, but the same media.
I manually manage all my music, TV shows, movies, etc which are stored in a secondary HDD (G:\). I want to move everything to the NAS and be able to use the built in iTunes server. At this point, I'm not set on forcing it to retain my file structure, so if I need to let iTunes move things around, I'm ok with that.
How would I go about doing this with two different users? I don't want duplicates of my stuff on the NAS.
Thanks!

I was hoping someone would be able to help me with this, but I'm guessing it has to be something no one has ever done before.
I would just really like to move everything to the NAS and modify my directory structure without having to rebuild both libraries.
Oh, well. Thanks anyway.

Moved media files relink with different start/end times

Hi all,
I'm really stuck here so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've got a number of FCP projects which use media from one drive.
The drive containing this media is soon to be in use by another project so I have done a direct copy of all the media onto another drive using finder. Literally a drag and drop copy of the files.
However, when I re-open the project and relink to the 'new' files on the new drive I am getting multiple "different start/end times" errors causing all the edited clips to play from the wrong times.
How can I stop it changing the time code when doing this?
Thanks

On closer inspection, this only seems to be affecting BWavs, if that helps at all?

N97 memory management: moving text messages

The saga of optimizing memory usage on the N97 by hand continues. Having determined that text messages (have a lot) are being stored by default in C: (as per Settings/Other/Memory in Use), how do I transfer them over to E: and still have full access to all without loss? Will just changing the setting over to E: do the trick?

But also be aware that storing ANYTHING on C memory on the N97 that you are not FORCED to will result in the N97 grinding to a halt anyway !! Always instal everythingyou possibly can on E mass memory, it's the only way to survive with the N97. Also if you can aggord £8 buy and install RamBlow, it's the best thing I found to make the N97 'Usable'
Good Luck

I have 60 000 songs on a hard drive. The songs are referenced to the media file and not stored in the media file. I have moved the songs to another external drive. The itunes library has lost the link to the media files. How can I restore the links?

I have all my songs (60 000) on a remote drive. The drive is wireless networked. I installed a new router and had to map the drive again. Once this was done itunes could no longer locate the music. My music is not sitting in my media file but is rather referenced to the location of the music. Now that the location has changed due to the remapped drive how can I link the itunes library to the songs (media)again.
I have read many help comments and forums but so far nothing specific about relinking once the songs have already been moved and are referenced songs.
A step by step procedure would be helpful.
Thank you
Graham

I've uploaded a newer version that might catch that error. For some background on the script look at this thread.
iTunes remembers the location of each file in the database. If you right-click on a missing file, click Get Info, cancel when it asks you to try to find it, then look on the summary tab it will show you the last known location in the form file://localhost/<some path>. If you put the files back where they are expected to be, close iTunes and reopen, then iTunes will find them again. If not my script can attempt the task. When the script asks for a media folder you should respond with Z:\ since that seems to be where the artist folders are located.

A series of video files (0001.MTS to 0005.MTS) were imported into premiere, when moved to timeline premiere combined them and made them look like one long clip named 0001.MTS. Multiple motion edits and opacity edits were made. When project manager moved the project, the actual video content of 0002.MTS to 0005.MTS was missing(source clips are still there but they were playing and working as part of that 0001.MTS timeline clip before). Those parts of the 0001.MTS clip in the timeline were Danger Striped and can be relinked but now have no edits anymore. The edits are apparently only linked with the original 0001.MTS source clip but extend beyond the actual range of the actual source clip. At the time I thought it was weird that premiere displayed the whole string of clips as one (with one name and no breaks) but it all works in the original project file but cannot be transferred to another location without multiple clips showing Danger Stripes.I need to move it and preserve the dozens of motion and opacity edits linked to the apparently oversized timeline clip. HELP!! any ideas?
I did not nest any clips or sequences, premiere just seemed to combine the clips under one name when I moved them to timeline.

Using Media Manager to 'Make Offline' it re-names media files to 'Private'

For some reason Media Manager is changing the name of media files when processing them making it impossible to reconnect them.
My director always has a complete copy of our film's media files on his 'home set-up' (FCP 5.0 on a Powerbook with 2 x 500gb firewire drives) so he can look at our cuts at home. This has caused problems in the past with firewire drives expiring or failing to mount: making the whole process pointless. Also, as the amount of footage increased, he struggled to find space for the 6-8 drives required.
My solution was to down-convert our DV resolution media files to Photo-Jpeg resolution which allowed me to fit 3TB of footage onto 2 brand new G-Tech drives. Every time I sent him a cut to view all I had to do was use media manager to make the sequence offline and convert it to exactly the same Photo-Jpeg setting I used to export the files. All he has to do is reconnect the sequence to his drives at his end.
A wonderful plan except when you came to reconnecting. I found that 95% of clips connect perfectly and then you get asked for the location of some media files called 'Trashes' 'Applications' or more commonly, 'Private'. Obviously no such files existed - I use an impeccably organised and structured filename system when capturing. Therefore it made random clips in my sequence impossible to reconnect once it had been converted to the settings used by the director.
When this only happened once or twice I thought I could easily just work out what files it was actually looking for by the clip names on the timeline and tell FCP to reconnect to the correct file by ignoring the file name but this is so time consuming and impractical when you have 20/30 clips that have been renamed on a sequence. It is also not the sort of thing my director is technically capable/willing to do.
It also seems to be happening when you convert things in the other direction. When I took a sequence from the director's project and brought it back onto my system by converting his sequence to my DV-PAL settings we got the same problems with 'Private and 'Applications' clips. And we know for sure that all of these clips were online on his computer.
Has anyone seen this before or know any steps I could take to prevent it happening.
I fear that if I can't get this method to work I will have to give him full resolution media to work with and I will be fated to spend the rest of my days replacing. smashing or swearing at firewire drives that only work when they feel like it.
Anybody got any ideas.
Cheers
Paul
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

haven't tried this but it may be worth some investigation.
try exporting an XML of your sequence and passing that to the director
on the director's FCP setup, import the xml, and in the Import XML... window uncheck the "Override with setting from XML" checkbox, and choose the approriate offline res that matches the directors media.
see if the resulting sequence will reconnect

Media Manager and .motn files

Hi all,
I am having a strange problem....I have Media Managed a number of projects, and they have .motn files (either media that was on the timeline, sent to Motion, modified, then saved, OR, I used a Master Template in FCP that I made in Motion). When I open the MM'd project on my computer everything is fine, but on a different computer, FCP cannot find the .motn file. I assume it is because the template or associated files are on my system, but I would hope that Media Manager would create a .mov from that .motn file so it can open on a different system. Does anyone have any experience with this issue?
Thanks,
Dave

Great explanations, but I want to make sure my workflow is sound before tossing something. Given that this is an integrated suite, I'm not too comfortable needing to do the following, so please correct me if I am wrong, or share the better way. After I Media Mange my Final Cut project, I need to:
1) create a new folder called "media" inside the "media" folder Media Manager created.
2) drag and drop the motion media from the media folder(s) created with "Copy to Folder" (explained above) into the media folder I just created.
Question: Is my assumption correct that I do not need to drag and drop things like "wisp04," "basic blur" or "texture 01"? If so, why on earth are they included?
If this is the workflow, I shutter to think how many people have lost media files because they assumed incorrectly everything was being collected via FCP Media Manager. Is there a step-by-step somewhere that you can point me to? Bonus questions: Can you speculate the reason or advantage of doing it this way? Do you think Apple should improve it? Thanks!

Using Media Manager to Cut up Long Media Files

After reading the chapters in the manually quite thouroughly, I still can't make Media Manager to do what I want it to. I need several long media files broken into smaller files, for use in soundtrack pro.
I captured 17 Tapes worth of footage from start to stop, and then logged them and turned individual shots and taks into subclips. After importing each subclip into SoundTack Pro, I realized that it will import the entire original media, and not just the sub clip, thus I decided that I needed to break up all my actual media files, into smaller files. (If there's a way around this, seeing as how working in SoundTrack with an individual Takes audio is my goal, I'd love to hear about it)
So, I tried to use media manager. I set it up with "use existing" media selected, "Delete unsed media from selected clips" selected, "base media files on" set to clip names, and did NOT select duplicate selected clips and place into a new project. I did NOT use handles.
After it was done processing, it did not break the files into individual takes (the way the subclips were made) like I wanted it to. It did break the files down smaller, but it includes multiple takes and multiple shots in each file.
Can someone please point me in the right direction as to what I need to do? Or, if someone can show me a work around for the using subclips in SoundTrack pro (I know this is not the SoundTrack pro Forum) then I would do fine using the clips how they are.
Thanks for your time.

You really need to go to the Final Cut PRO forum.

Difference between nio-file-manager and nio-memory-manager

Hi,
what's the difference between nio-file-manager and nio-memory-manager? The documentation doesn't really discuss the differences as far as I know. They both use nio to store memory-mapped files don't they? What are the advantages/disadvantages of both?
When to choose the first one and when the second when storing a large amount of data? Can both be used to query data with the Filter API? Are there size limits on both?
Best regards
Jan

Hi Jan,
The difference is that one uses a memory mapped file and one uses direct nio memory (as part of the memory allocated by the JVM process) to store the data. Both allow storing cache data off heap making it possible to store more data with a single cache node (JVM) without long GC pauses.
If you are using a 32 bit JVM, the JVM process will be limited to a total of ~3GB on Windows and 4GB on Linux/Solaris. This includes heap and off heap memory allocation.
Regarding the size limitations for the nio-file manager Please see the following doc for more information.
With the release of 3.5 there is now the idea of a Partitioned backing map which helps create larger (up to 8GB of capacity) for nio storage. Please refer to the following doc.
Both can be used to query data but it should be noted that the indexes will be stored in heap.
hth,

Moving iTunes media files to external drive broke connection

I recently moved my iTunes media files to an external drive. All other iTunes related files were left in my home folder. Everything worked great for about a month. Then, mysteriously, I went to access a movie and it said that it could not be found. I performed the search to my external and the movie played just fine. Somehow, my connection to iTunes has been broken. Incidentally, all media files in my external drive show up in the respective folders in iTunes. They just have exclamation points associated with most of them. Strangely, some of the files play just fine without having to search. Very confused. Can anyone provide a solution to re-establishing my link to iTunes? Thank you very much.
Bill

You had the drive plugged in and mounted before starting iTunes?
Sometimes a link will get broken, but then re-established, such as doing the aforementioned forgetting to start the drive first. When you double click the track it will try again and suddenly find it works again. It can be a nuisance having to test each track this way. You may find that Dougscript "List MIA" will help do this.
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
I have not seen any successful automated way to re-form truly broken links. You have to either do it by hand or just add the media again. If you add the media again some things will be re-set such as date added (obviously), playcount, etc. I don't use any of those so it doesn't matter to me if I have to do this (and there are tricks to storing them in places where they will be kept).
Why they got broken? One reason mentioned before. Have you re-named anything or moved it? Have you ever had multiple drives with the same name plugged in?

Once I have moved my iTunes media file to my new mac, will I have to erase and sync my iPod?

I have successfully managed to move my itunes media file from my windows pc to my new mac and all is well. However, of course it hasnt copied my itunes, its just copied all the stuff in it. So information about the number of times a song has been played or any playlists have not been copied over. Can i get this information? What will happen when I plug in my iPod to sync? Will I have to erase and sync?

Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow? In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Can I update to itunes 9.2 even though I have moved my media files to an external hard drive?

I moved my ITunes media files to an external hard drive. If I upgrade to ITunes 9.2 will ITunes still know that the media files are located on the external hard drive?

Not sure since I haven't used iTunes 9 in awhile, but if it doesn't, the fix is pretty simple:
Go into iTunes > Preferences > Advanced and change the location of the media folder to your external HD.
