Moving picture directories

First, let me say that if this question has been previously answered, then my apologies. However, here is my problem. I have a fairly large directory of pictures on my default Apple harddisk. The problem is that the default disk has gone from 160 GB to less than 15 GB left. I have a large external harddisk with over 180 GB left on it. I use iPhoto and Aperature. My question: is there a procedure from moving the pictures from the default Apple disk to this external harddisk? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

If you want to move the Aperture library, just copy the "Aperture Library.aplibrary" file from your internal drive (in your Pictures directory by default) to the external - then in Aperture select Preferences from the Aperture menu and select "set Aperture Library" to point at your external drive.
I'm not as certain what to do for iPhoto, you could possibly use a program like iPhoto Library Manager to change where iPhoto library is and then copy it over to the external hard drive as well (should also be in Pictures I believe).

  • Best practice - moving home directories

    Hello all,
    I was looking for insight on best practices for moving home directories.
    I was thinking that using the migration tool would be best to move the directories and then using dsrazor to remap all of the home directories for our users.
    We are running Netware 6.5 SP8. I have added a 2TB RAID 10 set to one of our servers which is where I am planning on moving all of the user directories.
    Thoughts/suggestions are welcome.

    First test went quite smoothly.
    Steve D.
    When you move data (using Windows explorer ect) across volumes the trustee rights drop off. If moving from NW to NW use Server Consilidation and Migration Tool. If moving from NW to OES Linux use miggui. The SCMT has a few other features like project planning and verification.

  • Needing help with moving pictures around

    I am in need of help in moving pictures and images around
    dreamweaver document window. My older brother gave me his computer
    witch has dreamweaver MX (he is in Irag) so i can start building
    building my own websites. I went to borders and bought a book on
    dreamweaver MX. Here is where I am having a problem with: when ever
    I bring a picture into the document window I can not move the
    picture around the document window. The book say "place the
    insertion point where you want the image to appear" but there is no
    insertion point. There is just a straight line as if I am about to
    type something. It's almost like I am in microsoft word. If I take
    the mouse over the picture , and then left click and try to drag
    the picture to the location I want it in, it doesn't move. Can
    somebody PLEASE help me out with this problem. Thanks Jical

    Nadia gave you a good place to start… Here is what you
    have to understand. Web pages are based on specific code that tells
    the viewer’s browser how to display the page. There has to be
    something that says, “Put this picture in the lower right
    hand corner, and center this image in the middle of the
    screen”
    Then there are further instructions that say “Put this
    text here and that link there”. So Dreamweaver (and most
    other web developing programs) do not work like Illustrator or
    PowerPoint where you can simply grab a picture and slide it around
    the page.
    In its simplest form you might drag an image onto the
    Dreamweaver design view page and click on the center button in the
    properties dialog.
    Then type in text and center it, left justify, right justify,
    etc. Add another picture and so on and you could possibly create a
    passable web page. Now click on the Code view button and see what
    code Dreamweaver generated in order to do all of this.
    That is what you will really need to understand before you
    can really get proficient at web design.
    At the next level, you can start to add in tables. These
    actually are similar to tables in Word. You can put text in one
    cell, images in another, colored backgrounds, thick and thin
    borders with contrasting colors, and you can start to see how to
    “contain” your images as Nadia suggests.
    Now look at the code again and see how these cells are
    defined around your content.
    Once you understand how this works, you will get much more
    comfortable with Dreamweaver. You will just have to get used to the
    idea that it doesn’t work like all of the publishing software
    that is only dependant upon its own format for layout. HTML is
    dependant upon the many browsers, computers, operating systems,
    user preferences, and a million other unknown factors.
    That’s why this forum has more than 91,000 posts…

  • Bug in 2.1:  Moving pictures leaves stale thumbnail

    This used to happen a lot with the original Lightroom Beta, but
    rarely happened after the 2.1 RC.
    It has happened three times with 2.1 final when moving pictures from a folder into a sibling, aka from:
    g:\pics\unpro into
    g:\pics\misc
    But it doesn't always happen. Same symptom as before - the thumbnails don't get refreshed unless you restart lightroom.
    It hasn't happened yet when moving pictures to a different drive.
    - Frank

    It happened again and I did some experimentation.
    It does not always happen, but it is repeatable. I've now
    reproduced it about 8 times.
    Move one picture from one folder to another. Repeat until it happens.
    I did a 'Relaunch and Rebuild' and then restarted Lightroom, and I had to move about 20 pictures (one by one) before it reoccurred.
    What I am doing is dragging a picture from G:\pics\unpro into g:\pics\steve. I haven't done any changes to the pictures, I'm just organizing them a bit.
    When the problem occurs, I notice the following:
    I can see the moved picture in both folders, as if I had copied the picture, rather than moved it. Once I restart lightroom it is only in the correct folder.
    On the disk, the picture is correctly in the new folder, and does
    not exist in the original folder.
    Let me know if you want me to try anything else.
    - Frank

  • Moving pictures in film rolls

    Has anybody figured out how to slow down the scrolling when moving pictures from one roll to another? I keep whizzing by the roll I want.

    This happens to me, too. I participated in a thread about this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3075268&#3075268
    although nothing has really corrected the problem for me. And while I have the utmost respect for Terence Devlin, who is probably correct 99.9% of the time, I'm still not totally convinced that this is a mouse problem. [Sorry, TD.] I just don't see it in other contexts, (not even in Finder) but it happens consistently in iPhoto, and only when trying to drag selected items.
    That being said, I have learned to live with and work around it. When moving pictures between rolls, I must keep all rolls closed except the one I select photos from. If the target roll is on screen with the beginning roll, there's no problem. If not, I may have to drop the photos in the closest roll to the target that I can manage. Like iPhoto leapfrog. Say I'm scrolling up. I may drop the photos into the highest roll on screen before iPhoto begins to hyper scroll. Then scroll the window to move that roll down, and drag them a second time upwards. Eventually the roll I'm in and the target roll will share the screen, and I can finish the job.
    I'll be watching with interest to see if you find a solution. [Now TD will come correct me. That's okay, I'm used to it. And like I said, he's usually right. So he's probably right. Try anything he suggests and let us know if it works. :-)]

  • Moved picture folders around now won't sync with iPhone

    I recently moved around some pictures and now most of my pictures will not sync to my iPhone.
    I have tried deleting the photo cache, moving pictures into a single folder and resetting the sync history, uninstalled iTunes, restored phone, copied all my photos to another location, and each time I get an error that that my iPhone can't be read or written to or the device times out.
    The strangest thing is most of the folders or pictures it doesn't seem to like were pictures that were on the phone previously or were not touched when I moved stuff around.
    I am running Vista and have even tried single folders and that works for some but most error out.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I dowloaded the songs, and now it won't sync with my iphone.  I use icloud for my songs, and I also have imatch.  WHy can't I get these songs on there?
    It is possibly an incompatibility with audio format or sample rate. 
    First, make sure that the songs play in iTunes on your computer.  If so, right-click and choose "create AAC version."  Use the new AAC version with your iPhone.

  • Is there a moving picture book app scam and virus?

    I purchased moving picture book app (free) but then they advertised several books and purchased several to download.  I was charged through ITunes as an in app purchase but then the books never downloaded and when a couple of them did, the screen was blank.  I tried to report the problem but cannot select the purchase to report a problem.  I don't know what happened.  I read several reviews and others have experienced this.  I sent an email to ITunes support but have not received any email back.  What can I do?  The books apps were supposed to be for my child who has autism.  We felt we've been cheated.

    Thanks MRLoon for your reply. I've read the adverts and saw the preview and that's why I decided to purchase the apps but I was unable to play any of the three apps that I downloaded.  I purchased 16 total thinking they would download immediately.  But after trying to download the first three and got nothing, I stopped.  I've already sent an email to the moving picture books app support team five days ago and have not received any feedback or reply.  If you are truly one of the owners, have your support team reply to my email.  I'll send another one today. And please have your people check to see if the current app is compatible with IOS 5. Is there a better working contact number or email for Moving Picture Books app?  Again, I appreciate your reply and any assistance you may provide.  I hope your nephew is doing well.

  • Moving Picture of face in Video

    Hi guys, I am new to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.
    I was wondering, how is it possible to make a moving picture of a face in a video such as the one shown in this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHRDW...eature=related
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    There's definatily a bunch of tracking done on that video.
    Cutting the head head out (roto) is the least of your problems. Most of the shots look like a still of the face tracked onto other shots. You could take the 16 point garbage mask and cut out the face (but that would take forever use photoshop) then keyframe the scale and position over the head you want to replace.
    That's how to do it in Premiere. But it would take forever.
    In fact it would be quicker to learn After Effects then do it in there than it would to do it in Premiere pro.

  • Moving picture messages

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia N95 8GB. I have tried to download a moving picture msg from jamster but for some reason it doesnt move on my screen.. just it still like a wallpaper.
    do i need to change any settings?

    You can do a couple of things, you need the Communication Centre in PC Suite for both.
    The first is to simple mark all messages (CTRL+A) then copy them (CTRL+C). You can then paste them into any folder on your PC hard drive - they will be individual ".vmg" files that can be opened in the Communication Centre.
    The second is to mark all messages then click File>Export - the messgaes will be exported into a ".csv" file that can be opened in programs like Microsoft Excel. You can export the inbox, sent items and drafts messages this way, but not as a single file, you have to do each box separately.

  • Moving Pictures to new drive- XP MC/LR 1.1

    What if I want to move the photos that have been imported at their location?
    IOW, I am on Windows XP MC, I have imported lots of photos (7000+) and have either brought them from their location in
    {c:\documents and settings\.....}
    ...My Documents\My Pictures\2007\0607\Fishing Trip (e.g.)
    into LR WITHOUT relocating them into the library.....that is, I left the photos where they were and imported them.....+or+ I imported from a memory card and moved them to a new location inside of My Pictures. I have added keywords, ratings, devlop settings etc.
    Now, as I struggle to keep free space on my 250GB drive, I am thinking of relocating all my data including pictures onto a 750GB My Book USB 2.0 drive I bought at Best Buy over the weekend for ~$190. Or may be to a new SATA internal drive...
    What do I tell LR? IOW, if I just go ahead and do this in windows, all the files LR is pointing at in its catalog will be gone or broken links- missing photos or whatever.
    Do I move them in LR's folders hierarchy itself- I can't imagine- plus most of my 40,000+ images aren't even known to LR.
    I'm sure there must be some way to do this properly.....may be exporting a catalog and colocating it with the pics or....??? Stumped.
    Some of this seems to be addressed here,
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...3736&sliceId=2
    ....but it's not entirely clear to me and looks like there is much to lose in doing this....may be keywords, collection info etc.
    I understand for all my Nikon NEF files the idea of writing the XMP sidecars, but do I have to reimport all the files again when I move them? Will the XMP files have the keywords, ratings etc? I'm still not sure this even answers my request in that I want to move my whole library and all my images to a new hard drive- not burn them to CD/DVD as suggested in the article.

    I am not at my PC with lightroom on at the moment so this may be a bit vague. But here goes.
    Create a directory where you want your photos to reside. ( this should be the base directory which will hold all your photos.) I am guessing in your case it would be (new drive\My Photos).
    place a single photo into the directory.
    import the photo into lightroom.
    In the folder view you will now see this directory. You should be able to move your existing directories into this folder inside lightroom. e.g. You should hopefully be able to see the directory 2007, which you can just move.
    If you can not see you base directories (2007) there is a trick which allows you to see them in the folder view but I have not got the details on me at the moment. Someone else may point you at the trick. Or just place an image in that directory and import it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Moved pictures to SD card and found card is no longer formatted, are pictures gone forever?

    I have Samsung Reality cell phone and I have moved all my pictures from my phone to card. Once I inserted SD card into laptop, pop-up says the card is not formatted. The computer will not read card and phone now will not read card. Are these pictures lost?

        Hello there, ENGALL! I'm so sorry that you've encountered an issue with viewing your pictures. I certainly hope that they're not lost for good! I'm curious about something. Are the pictures confirmed to be no longer on the device memory of your Samsung Reality? Have you tried putting the SD card back into the Reality? If so, what happens when you try to view the contents? Do you know if your line was set up for Verizon Cloud or Backup Assistant? Finally, have you tried inserting the card in a different computer?

  • Moving Pictures folder to an external hard disk

    In order to have more space on my hard disk, I bought an external HD where I wanted to store my Itunes and Aperture library.
    Formatted the exteral HD as Mac OS extended journaled, in order to back it up using Time Machine to my Time Capsule.
    I used Iphoto before going over to Aperture.
    In order to move my files I selected all my projects in Aperture, and then used relocate masters to move them to my new HD.
    This added 92 GB to my new external HD.
    I made a check by removing the external HD, and as expected saw that if I wanted to adjust pictures in Aperture, the section adjustment was grey.
    After plugging in the HD it worked again as it should.
    So I thought all had gone well.
    I noticed that not all the pictures were found though, and I saw that the pictures that were not found had a keyword " iphoto original"
    After moving from Iphoto to Aperture, I had deleted all Iphoto files, so did not expect to find any reference to Iphoto.
    I open these pictures, but Aperture can not find the originals.
    The Pictures folder in my home directory was still on my internal HD under users, and contained 90GB; all missing pictures are there as well.
    I copied that folder to my external HD, and moved the original folder to the trash.
    When I opened Aperture no pictures were there at all.
    Of course I put the pictures back from the trash, but now I am wondering:
    Aperture was clearly using the Pictures file in my home directory; why was it not using the masters I relocated?
    How can I move the Pictures file to my external HD? I now have the relocated master file on my external HD, a copy of the Pictures file from my home directory, and also the Pictures file in my internal HD, which takes up a lot of space.
    Where can I find the original pictures from the deleted Iphoto library; they are all in the Picture file, and with normal size of several MB per picture, but Aperture can not seem to find them.
    Lot of questions, would appreciate it if someone could help me out.

    Aperture will only relocate original that it is using. You seem to have had a mixed library, part of the originals in your "Pictures" folder, part of them in your iPhoto Library.
    If not all original masters have been relocated, you may not have had selected all images when relocating. I suggest to simply flag all images, that are still on your internal drive and then to relocate them as well.
    To be able to flag the, disconnect again your external volume and search for images that have the filestatus "online".
    A smart album with the smart rule "Add rule: Exif: Filestatus is online", and set the source of the smart rule to "Library". Then flag all images.
    Now connect your drive again and select all images in the "Flagged" album and relocate them to your external drive.
    Do they now move over?
    You can check the location of referenced images by using the command "File > Show in Finder".
