Move 20GB of Apple Loops (installed with FCP Studio) to other drive

Main main disk is an SSD drive (so very limited space).
I recently did a check on folder sizes and found out that my full FCP installed about 20GB of Apple Loops which I am not really using (and that folder is 1/5 of my total HD!!).
Is there a way to move this folder to a different drive without creating any issues with FCP or Garage Band. Im happy to keep them installed, just not on my main SSD.
Any ideas?
Thanks

• Copy the Apple Loops folder to a different drive.
• Delete the original folder.
• In the new location, create an Alias of the Loops folder.
• Move the Alias back to the same location that the original folder was in.
• Remove the word "Alias" from the folder name.

Loop Problems. There are no Apple Loops installed on your System.

When I first open Garage Band I get a message that says
"There are no Apple Loops installed on your System. Please reinstall the Apple Loop Package"
Where is the Loop Package, how do I reinstall it, and overall.. how do I fix this problem?

WH,
I did and with no luck. But I was able to solve the problem.
What I found out was that the folder under the main library has the wrong rights which wouldn't allow the index files to be updated.
So, I change the Audio folder and all enclosed folders to allow All Others the ability to Read/Write. I deleted the files out of the Apple Loops Index and launched GB. I dropped a loop onto the loop browser and the index was rebuilt.
Eventually I copied the Jam Pack folders over to the Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > Apple Loops > Apple folder. Then dopped another loop on the loop browser for the index to be rebuilt again. Doing this allowed all users on this computer to have access to the loops.

When I open Garage Band '09 it says" No Apple Loops found; There are no Apple Loops installed on your System. Please reinstall the Apple Loop Package".

I have garage band '09 on my mac. When I open garage band a little notice pops up saying "No Apple Loops found; There are no Apple Loops installed on your System. Please reinstall the Apple Loop Package" I have followed the instructions on the apple web page and it didn't work. I looked in all of the locations on my mac and all of the folders that should contain apple loops are empty. Is there a way I can redownload the apple loops to my mac without buying garage band '11 or one of the jam packs????????????????

How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?

How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy) it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
Thanks

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps

External Hard Drive for PowerMac G5 for use with FCP Studio

Hello,
I'd greatly appreciate any recommendation for an external hard drive for a PowerMac G5 for use with FCP Studio.
Thanks.

We see alot of Lacie issues here and elsewhere.
Drives fail... period. I believe you hear more about Lacie drives failing because they sell a ton more of them than many other suppliers. I've got 8 of em sitting right here on the desk and two more at the second station. I've lost one since I started using them years ago (and it had problems right out of the box) and I use them pretty heavy.
I understand that they use several different brands of drives in their enclosures, but from my experience they must have pretty good QC standards for what they package.
The guy said the G Techs were a little overkill for his needs. Lacie doesn't pay me. But if someone asks "how are Lacies?" I'll tell them they've been great for me and many others I know, especially if your requirements are capturing DV.
In five years, I ain't heard anybody say anything about it.
As for FCP. I love it! In 20 years of business, it's probably the purchase that's given me the most bang for my buck. But if you haven't heard people knock it, you've never met an Avid zelot, bruhhhhh, just the thought gives me shivers.
The drives X mentioned are designed for video work.
What Studio said, well he gives out some of the best advice on this board
(and maybe the most! ) and my reply to his post... that's why I used the little smiley face. No offence intended X.
I only meant to say that, in a world where software like FCP can do what it does at the price it does it, and drives like Lacie and G Tech can give you the storage they do for the price they do, the line between consumer and professional products is easily blurred.

How many Apple loops preinstalled with Garageband 09?

Straightforward question: how many loops are included with Garageband 09? I can find hardly any (eg 4 drum loops, all cymbals) and it makes me wonder if something's missing, or if that is indeed all that is provided with the standard install of Garageband.
Thanks.

HangTime wrote:
which is why i did not say to open it ;-)>
Well, obviously there wasn't much chance it would work, but no harm trying.
I did what you suggested - deleted all the files in the Receipts folder that start with GarageBand (after backing them up first) and tried to reinstall Garageband from the MacBook software DVD, but no joy - everything is still greyed out apart from the help files.
So I dropped GarageBandExtraContent.pkg onto FileJuicer and that kept FileJuicer busy for a good 15 minutes. In the end it extracted a gigabyte of stuff from that 5.4Mb file, including a lot of AIFF and WAV files, though no CAF files, oddly enough. The WAV files mostly have cryptic names like 35m2aF6.wav (which turns out to be a string section, Full Strings Lite, playing a high C I think).
However, I can't find any AIFF or WAV files with a date later than 2005. This makes me think I probably do have the full set of Apple Loops and that the set hasn't changed for a while. If anyone has the default install of Garageband 09 and wants to compare file lists, that might be a good idea...

Is this Mac ok for work with FCP Studio 5.1?

Hi all,
in the next few weeks i'm hoping to make the change from PC to Mac based editing, using FCP Studio 5.1. This is what i'm thinking of buying:
imac 24" TFT (this will show HD won't it?), 2.33Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 667 DDR2 RAM, Nvidia GeForce 7600GT 256MB, 250GB Hard Drive, DVD Writer.
Will this run FCP Studio 5.1 smoothly?
Many thanks, mat.
ps. what is the deal with FCP 6? Is it set for release soon? If so, i may put off the move until then.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
These specs suggest it should:

Visual Studio App Wizard won't install with Visual Studio 2005

When I try run the Visual Studio App Wizard from the Acrobat SDK V8.1 on my PC it tells me 'Please install Visual Studio 2005 before install Acrobat 8 Plugin Wizard'. I have Visual Studio 2005 installed with SP1. I also have the .NET framework 2.0.50727 SP1 loaded. I see this same problem on two different PC's with the same software configuration loaded. Any known issues with that?

I've never seen this happen. It's been a while since I last installed the
v9 SDK and it's plug-in wizard, so I don't remember how the installation
went.
I do most of my plug-in work on the Mac, where there is no plug-in wizard,
so I don't use it - not even on Windows. You do not need it to start a new
plug-in: Just use either the Starter plug-in from the samples, or the
BasicPlugin project. This will give you something that compiles and runs.
Then do a few simple text replacements to give things the proper names and
use that as your starting point. The wizard will give you a few more things
in regards to HFTs, but it's not complicated or time consuming to do that
by hand. The good thing about having to do this every now and then is that
it keeps your memory fresh about how HFTs work.
If you want to save yourself some time, create your own starter plug-in
that you mark up with comments about what you need to replace and why - put
all the stuff in that you usually need and then just use that every time
you need to start a new plug-in. Setting up a plug-in framework is usually
a very small portion of the time that you will eventually spent on the
plug-in development, so using the wizard will not save you much in the
overall development time.

WinXP 32- installing with drivers on USB thumb drive

So I just recieved my D10 SATA today and I'm trying to install WinXP 32, but I can't seem to get the "USB thumb stick driver fix" solution to work. I just have just one SATA hard drive in the machine currently, and I have the dvd-rom plugged in to the SAS, as mentioned on the boards.
SATA is in compatible mode, the LSI SAS controller is enabled (for the dvd). I loaded the Intel Matrix... and LSI drivers on a USB thumb drive as well as on a Sony Memory Stick (I have the card reader). Boot from the CD, push F6 when prompted, but when it gets to the screen where i'm supposed to navigate for the F6 drivers, it just says "windows can not find floppy disk... etc". If I continue with the installation without the drivers, it'll BSOD (unsurprisingly).
I've tried every solution and fix I've read on the boards, and I can't seem to get the thumb drive option to work. The machine I'm on right now doesn't seem to like nLite, so slipstreaming seems to be out of the equation for the moment.
If I disable the LSI controller and plug the dvd-rom into the SATA port, when it's in compatible mode, it won't find the dvd rom, which of course means I can't boot from CD. I'm a bit stuck as to how everyone's been able to install the drivers from a USB drive, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm sorry for the long first post, but after reading some threads on this forum, I figured a detailed descreption of my problems would be best. Thanks in advance!
Message Edited by 81dollar on 08-08-2008 03:28 PM

In the BIOS boot sequence make sure diskette A is on the "not included in boot sequence" category. Also, try disableling Deskette Drive A from the Devices tab (i think it is). I doubt this will work since I ran into the same exact issue as you. Your best option will probably be to integrate the drivers using nLite, see my thread on integrating drivers using nLite (Method 2, second post). Hope this helps.

Install FCP studio to external drive

I want to install FCP studio to my macbook pro and install all supporting media to an external drive so i don't waste space. has anybody done that.
thanks
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

As Jerry notes, templates can be installed on a non-system disk.
Pay close attention during the install process when you are given Options. A number of people have clicked through those moments without paying much attention and placed all there support files on the system disk - much to their dismay.
good luck.

How do i install Mac OSX Leopard on other drive

how do i install Mac OSX Leopard on a drive other than my Snow Leopard computer? I need to access old files that will not open with new OS.

Simple. When you get the prompt to install Snow Leopard on your existing computer you will see a button that says "change destination disk..." or words to that effect.
You can select any mounted volume. If that volume already has a later version of OS X installed, you will need to erase it first using Disk Utility.

Is Mt. Lion (10.8) OS compatible with FCP 7 and other FCP Studio 3 apps?

I am currently running Lion (10.7.5) on a 27" iMac 3.4 Ghz.
Is Mt. Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 7 and FCS 3 studio apps like Compressor 3.5, Color and DVDSP4? Will these programs still run or will they be not supported by the new OS as has been the case with past apps when a new OS is introduced?
Thanks,
Phil

Greetings Phil;
Glad to hear that the transition has gone well and that you're enjoying the new OS features! I have FCP X on all of the machines in my edit bay, but at this point I work exclusively with Final Cut Studio.
When FCP X was launched, in it's initial form it simple didn't work with the my workflow and the amount of work that I have to deal with on a daily basis. Also there was(for me a least) a BIG learning curve in order to make the transitiion. It was time that I didn't have...and still don't! Also I'm sort of an "old dog" in this game and learning the new system hasn't been a priority for me.
I would encourage you to move forward with it. I know that Apple has made huge improvements in the software since it's initial release.
I wish you the best in you work...

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do you have the USB stick inserted into one of the blue USB 3.0 ports? If so please try with the USB stick inserted in a black USB 2.0 Port and let us know if you experience the same problem.

Using an external monitor with FCP Studio v. 1.0

I cannot get my external monitor to display my timeline editing window. I have made the right connections, with firewire from Mac to Sony HDV tapedeck, and with HDMI cable from tapedeck to LCD monitor, but the screen remains blank. The external video setting and the video playback setting both have the HDV 1080i options greyed out, so I can't click on them. I can only have 'none', or playback in full screen desktop. How can I activate the play out via the tapedeck to the monitor?

Nickmarios wrote:
However, if HDV cannot be played out of FCP via firewire, how come I can capture from tape and export back to tape with firewire successfully?
Part of the issue is the Open GOP nature of HDV. Basically, HDV spreads the information for all frames within the time that you've pressed record to the time that you've stopped recording, and then crunches that down. This is way different than other FireWire-supported codecs, like DV, where each frame contains all the information needed by FCP to send a signal out to an external monitor at full resolution.
Sending out a full resolution via FireWire during HDV editing - where, most importantly, you're not obeying the GOP structure - would require fairly intense system resources, since it must reference other frames (sometimes many other frames). That's why you need a dedicated accelerator, like a capture card, to do that and send out a signal. As mentioned, FCP can send out a (very degraded) letterboxed 4:3 signal via FireWire, but it can't send out a full resolution signal.
Capturing, however, is a data transfer and much easier on your system. Open GOP is also the reason that long captures get broken up into individual shots (every time you start/stop recording).
Finally, as Shane mentions, the conform that FCP does prior to Print to Video means that FCP converts your timeline to abide by the (Open GOP) structure of HDV. As you've witnessed, that takes a fair amount of time.

Cant read .mts files with FCP-X on external drive after recovery

I used Data Rescue 3 on my Imac to recover lost files. They came back on the external drive as .mts files but will not import to FCP X. Why?? Do they need to be in some kind of file for FCP X to recognise them??

Forum search is your friend.
FCP cannot import .mts files without the folder structure that contains their metadata. You can use ClipWrap to rewrap the files to QuickTime.
