Mounting Documents, Music, Video and Picture folder to different location.

I would like to mount the documents, video, picture and music folders to a different location than \users\<username\. Anyone know how I can go about doing this? My goal is to have those folders default to folders on a shared partition on the drive. I am dual booting OS X and Vista and would like to share the folders I listed above so both operating systems can read and write to them. I have my drives setup as follows:
Partition 1 OS X
Partition 2 Vista OS
Partition 3 Shared
I already have Vista defaulting to the correct folders on the shared drives but not sure how to get it done with OS X.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Moving the default folders may cause problems with installers and such that expect them to be where they normally are, and there may be various permissions issues. With that said, you should be able to create an alias or symbolic link to the desired folders and place them in your shared partition.

  • How to move Documents, Music, Movies and Pictures (only) to a separate internal drive?

    How can I move just the Documents, Music, Movies and Pictures folders to a separate internal hard drive? I am running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro (2,1) with three 500GB Intel ESB2 AHCI internal drives. I do not want to move the entire Home folder, as I wish to keep the Applications forlder on the boot volume. Thanks!

    The Applications folder is not part of your Home folder -- it is available to all.

  • How much music, videos, and pictures can an 8gb iphone 4 hold?

    how much music, videos, and music can an iphone 4 hold?

    If you look in itunes at the bottom it will say how long the total list of music will play for and how big it is. eg. 1.00GB.
    Make sure you are in the (main)Music folder, though otherwise it will only tell you the info for that playlist or whatever you are looking at.
    As posted earlier "You need to do your own math, music and videos have wide differences in  size. More short songs and more short videos can be placed on the  iPhone. The number of media does not matter, it is the size (data, GB)  of the media that matters."

  • EPub with music, video and pictures

    I'm working on InDesign CS5.5. I am now working on an e-book, and I want to get into pictures, music and video, I use the interactive tools of InDesign and Iwant to know a few things so that everything will work.
    1 What types of music files can be used?
    2 What types of video files you can use?
    3 pictures, I want to get possibility that user might access an image, enlarge, reduceand move it within the frame in which it sits.
    4 Is that correct do for a music or video a group, contains the music and the activation buttons, and put it into a block of text like I do to images?

    I think you might be confusing ePub with the Digital Publishing Suite. They are very different. ePub files can contain video and audio files, but
    3 pictures, I want to get possibility that user might access an image, enlarge, reduceand move it within the frame in which it sits.
    is the kind of behaviour you get inside a digital publication.

  • Videos and pictures deleted with 8.1.1 update

    Hey there.
    So I updated to the latest update last night and a few videos and pictures completely vanished.
    I looked in the "deleted" folder of pictures to see if they went in there and they didn't, Its like they didn't exist.
    I've seen others have similar issues with ringtones disappearing.
    Anyone know anything about this?

    I did an icloud backup before the update yes. If its the absolute last solution I can restore my phone, I was just curious if theres a workaround maybe.

  • Connect iphone to smarttv for watching videos and pictures

    Trying to connect iphone to LGsmarttv for watching videos and pictures. We are on the same WIFI, pictures I can see, but no videos .... Do I need apple tv or an app ..

    I do not fully understand all of the ins and outs of iCloud either. I use iCloud in very "limited doses".  The greatest feature of iCloud - IMO - is that you can download purchased content again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID. There are some limitations based on where you live - but in the U.S - all of this is available to you.
    I also use iCloud to back up my Pages documents and currently only the Apple iWorks suite of apps, pages, Numbers and Keynote, can make use of this feature of iCloud - As far as I know.  The changes that I make on the documents will sync to my iPod Touch and I can download the documents from my iCloud.com account in order to work on them on my Mac. Revise them on the Mac, upload to my account again - and they appear on the iPad and the Touch with revisions in place.
    iCloud is still in its infancy, and even if it was "foolproof" or as foolproof as anything can be, I would never count on the cloud only to store my important files. I still backup to iTunes on my Mac and I backup my Mac with Time Machine. The use of iTunes is simply the vehicle through which all of your purchased content can be transferred to your computer for safe keeping. iTunes will store your media, apps and photos - and the backup process using iTunes - provides a way to save your settings, app data, camera roll photos, bookmarks, - in essence - the "stuff" that your apps produce - if that makes sense to you.
    Read this to learn more about iCloud. This is covers everything from soup to nuts. The articles contain links to other articles with more information as well. You may even want to peruse the iCloud forum for more information.

  • IPad 2 playing of all music videos in the folder is not possible. You can play a music video (all purchased from iTunes) but once is finished you have to manually select another one. This defeats the whole concept of having a music video library

    How could we play all music videos within the music folder in the iPad2 ? In other words, select all, choose random, and click play and all music videos will automatically play upon completion of the one been viewed without the user having to deselect another video manually (annoying interrupt).
    Currently you have to choose each music video and upon completion choose the next one manually. That defeats the whole concept of a music video library.
    This does not happen on previous iPad or MacBook Pro iTunes!!!!!
    Very annoying.
    Thanks,
    WMR

  • How to move all music files and pictures from Ipod nano to a new Windows computer that was not backed up on an external harddrive, only found on my ipod.

    My windows lap top was recently destroyed to the point of no recovery.
    All of my music and picture files are still located on my ipod and I plan on getting a new windows laptop
    Is there anyway that I can transfer my (unpurchased) music files and pictures from my ipod nano to my new computer?
    The pictures are more important that the music, so if only one is possible, I would prefer that
    I appreciate any ones helpful comments

    Copy the iTunes library from your backup as below:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    Sync with the restored library.

  • How can I burn dvds of videos and pictures on my iphone?

    I have a PC and would like to find out how I can burn a cd with video and pictures taken with my iPhone.  Also, will the video be in HD on the disc that I create?  Thanks!

    You will need to have those files available for the process on your computer because this is a task which cannot be accomplished from the iPhone. You will need a disk burning utility on your computer (Roxio's software comes to mind as a possibility). The quality of the output is entirely dependent upon the nature of the original files and the capabilities of the software application. They can be written as a data disk or, in the case of the video, written as a movie so long as it is an unprotected file (from your own capture, for example). This entire operation has to be worked through on your computer. There is a minimal degree to which you can edit your captured video in the iPhone (3GS or 4) but it does not compare to the scope that would be available to you in a proper editing application on the computer.

    What you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in (not all content types can be redownloaded in all countries) and whether they are still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their items from sale) - if you go into the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes you should see what you can re-download :
    Or on your phone you can use the Purchased tabs in the iTunes and App Store apps.

  • How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

    How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video,  and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?  I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem.  The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
    I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one.  I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

    I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )
