New hdd how to move files

Hi
I have a mac book pro 13 inch with 300 or so gig of disk space. I would like to upgrade this to 1 tb. Can you use time machine to restore all your photos, videos, music and files to the new hdd after the os is installed on the new hdd?
Thanks

Yes, you can. First, be sure you prep your new drive properly:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. When completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.
You can restore your entire Time Machine backup including your Home folder through the Setup Assistant that appears when you first boot OS X after the installation.

EXS24 instrument created from audio region- How to move files?

In Logic Pro X. I have created an EXS24 instrument from an audio region with 3 well-separated sounds. The instrument in EXS24 editor shows a zone with 3 files. Each file is actually the same physical file, but, when examining the three separate "files" (what should I call them??), a different section is highlighted for each tone. I can set a note for each of these "files". This instrument plays perfectly.
So now I have 2 files in my project folder - a .exs one for the instrument, and ONE SINGLE .wav file somehow representing three different samples. I want to move them to ~Library/Application Support/Logic/folderName, where folderName is , say, myInstruments (for .exs) and mySamples (for .wav). When I do this, and erase the files in the project folder, I can load the instrument and the sample file into EXS24, but the sample file is recognized as one single tone - that is, in the EXS24 editor, there is only one file rather than 3, and that file has all three audio sounds.
How do I move these files correctly? Is there some way to get them created originally in the correct place?

How to move files between folders within Lightroom 3?

I would like to move a file from one folder to another within Lightroom 3 (let's not discuss why). I searched the threads but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo within grid view then drag and drop that file onto a different folder in the folder panel (to do the move), a little plus sign (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo from the original folder (to get the move), both copies of the file are removed. I've tried holding down all sorts of keys on the imac but cannot get the move to work. Ideally, I'd like to move a group of photos but cannot even move one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

Your suggestion works. Thank you for posting it.

Try selecting the photos, right-clicking the target folder and choosing
"Move Selected Photos to This Folder".

How to move files not copy

how to move files from mac to an external hard drive. Copy leaves the files on the mac hard dive. I am trying to free up space on the mac hard drive.

Whenever you migrate data to an external drive, the files will copy. Once the copy is done, simply delete the files from your internal drive.

How to move files after installing new hard drive

I am considering the installation of a new 80 or 100 GB hard drive. I purchased the new iLife 06 program but I do not have enough space to install on my present 60 GB unit. I only have 3 GB available. I've read all the posts involving the possible brands, downloaded the instructions how to swap out the units. My question is how to backup and install my files and applications so I may reinstall onto the new drive. Can I just copy my hard drive volume onto my external Lacie storage unit and then drag the volume back to the new hard drive after booting off my OS disk? Any advice on how to move my apps and files? Do I need to purchase cloning software?

The easiest way is buy an external firewire enclosure and put your new drive in it. Then format your new drive. then use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy your internal drive onto your new drive. Then install your new drive and put your old one in the enclosure. You are now in business with an external backup on your old drive.

New HDD - how to restore iTunes library from Time Machine

Installed a new HDD in my MacBook Pro, would now like to restore my iTunes library on the computer.
Searched & saw a post about "needing to use the Time Machine interface to restore the entire library".
What is this interface they are referring to and how do I find it?
I open Time Machine in preferences and see there is an "options" button, and you can add items to the restore window ... I'm hoping there is a document somewhere that details if this is the correct place to restore an iTunes library, if so, what files/directories need to be added for restore, etc...
What's the process to restore an iTunes library from a Time Capsule backup?

Please do not double-post.

Hello,
Do you know what the difference between copying a file this way :
** Fast & simple file copy. */
public static void copy(File source, File dest) throws IOException {
FileChannel in = null, out = null;
try {
in = new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
out = new FileOutputStream(dest).getChannel();
long size = in.size();
MappedByteBuffer buf = in.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, size);
out.write(buf);
} finally {
if (in != null) in.close();
if (out != null) out.close();
================SECOND WAY============
AND THIS WAY:
// Move file (src) to File/directory dest.
public static synchronized void move(File src, File dest) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
copy(src, dest);
src.delete();
// Copy file (src) to File/directory dest.
public static synchronized void copy(File src, File dest) throws IOException {
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest);
// Transfer bytes from in to out
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
in.close();
out.close();
And which is better? I read up on what each kind of does but still a bit unclear as to when it is good to use which.
Thanks in advance,

Manually migrating to new Mac: how to move iOS Apps

I am doing a manual migration from my old Mac to my new Air.
I understand (I think) how to move my itunes Music Library).
However, I don’t know how to move all of my iOS apps (some of which are installed on my iPad and iPhone and some of which aren't).
Thanks for your help!

I'm no expert on the iTunes library situation, I'll leave that for others.
I can help on the Aperture move. There are two possible answers.
If you have a Managed Library (all the Masters are inside the library), the job is easy. Just go to Finder and drag and drop it to the new location.
If any of your Masters are "Referenced Masters" (that is they live outside the Aperture Library), then you still move the Library as above, but DO NOT USE FINDER TO MOVE THE MASTERS!
You MUST use Aperture's "Relocate Masters" function to do the move of the Masters. If you move them using Finder, Aperture gets all confused, and while it is possible to straighten the mess out, it's not fun.
Most people have a "Managed Library", so it's probably very simple.
To tell if you have "Referenced Masters", go into Browser and select 'Photos" in the Library Inspector, click on one image and select all images (Command-a).
Then choose "Locate Referenced Files..." in the File menu. If it says "No Referenced Files", you have your answer - it's a totally "Managed" Library, so drag and drop it.
If you have got Referenced Masters and need help, post back.
Hope this helps
John

How do mov files work on iPad

Hi.
I have been sent a movie in the mov format but it won't open on my iPad.
Can you tell me how I can view it?

Is the file on your computer or is it on your iPad? MOV files are just wrappers and they need to be in the proper format to be viewed. iPad 2's can view H.264 encoded movies with Main Line Profile 3.1 at 720p, while iPad 3+ can view 1080p movies encoded with H.264 HIgh Profile 3.1. If you have the movie on your Mac, you can drag and drop it to you iPad with Pic Share It. It will automatically convert the movie if it not in the proper format, so you can view it on your iPad.

Question on how to move files in iTune Liabrary

All my file types--music, podcasts, and audiobook--are located in Music folder in the Library. I wish to move podcast files to Podcast folder and audiobook files to Audiobook folder.
After trying the intuitive Windows' methods like drag & drop, I searched both online documentations and preexisting discussions on the subject, but no avail.
Does anyone know how I can move files (Podcasts and Audiobook) from Music folder to other folders in my Library ?

Although I can not completely claim to understand your question, I think that you are concerned with how to put together two or more songs of the same Artists' group when each songs are loaded at different times. If that is your concern, I might have a suggestion.
You can group two or more songs, added at different times, with various groupings. The varying groupings are by Artist, Album, Genre, etc. Since if you knew how to do it with one, then you can do other ways as well; let's pick Genre for my suggestion purposes.
First, you need to select two songs that you wish to group together. You can select both of them by highlighting the first one, then the second one by clicking the second one while holding "Ctrl" button. You should see both songs highlighted.
After both songs are highlighted, you want to edit information of both songs at the same time. To do so, you first need to get the Form called Multiple Item Information. You can get this form by first moving your cursor over one of the two highlighted songs, then "Right" click. You might get a dialogue box, which is to verify whether you really want to modify information on multiple items. When you get such dialogue box, click on "YES." After that, you should see the Form I mentioned--Multiple Item Information.
In this Form, you might see some or most of the fields already filled. If not, you might want to manually type in whatever you wish. For our purpose of grouping them together, you need to modify two fields--Boxes named "Compilation and Gapless Album." For each of those boxes, you will want to select "Yes" from its drop-down menu. Each drop-down menu is located at the right corner of each Box. You will also want to fill in the check boxes, located on the left them, by clicking in them.
After sequentially following all those steps above, you can now click on the "O.K." button of the Multiple Item Information Form. If you followed those steps successfully, you should see both songs grouped together.
Any further help or clarification needed, reply back with your specific concerns to which I can try my responses.

How to move files from an external hard drive to a time capsule that is part of an extended network

What are the steps for copying or transferring 235 GB of files (primarily .mts movie files) that are on a Western Digital external hard drive to a 500 GB Time Capsule that I want to use as an external hard drive? After the files have been moved, I will be returning the Western Digital external hard drive to my son's coach and will be using iMovie to access the 500 GB Time Capsule to create a highlight video.
Currently, I have a 1TB Time Capsule that is serving as the wireless router for my network and for Time Machine backups to two Macs. The 500GB Time Capsule is set up as an extended part of the 1TB Time Capsule's network.
I can copy and paste files from the Western Digital exernal hard drive to the Desktop of my iMac but when I try to move a file from the Western Digitial external hard drive to the empty 500 GB Time Capsule, the following error message pops up:
"The item “filename” can’t be moved because “Linda's Time Capsule (2)” can’t be modified."
Thank you. Linda

Click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus are displayed at the top of the screen.
Click Go > Network
Double click the Time Capsule icon, then double click the icon representing the drive to mount it on the Mac's desktop. It is named "Data" unless you have changed it
You can drag/drop files to the "Data" icon on the desktop
235 GB is going to take forever if you try to do this using wireless. If at all possible, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
Even using Ethernet, you are probably looking at 10-12 hours for the file transfer. All bets are off with wireless only, but a guess would be several days....or even more.

How to move files by using a keyboard command?

On Windows or Ubuntu, If I choose a file, press control & x and press control & v in a different folder, the file can be moved easily without dragging the file in to the destination folder. I tried to do the same thing on Mac OS X, but Mac OS only allows me to use apple & x if I tried to cut texts. Is there any way to use keyboard commands or other ways to move files not by dragging?

no. you can not cut files in OS X. But you can copy and paste with command+c and command+v. also, you can install a 3rd party contextual menu to move files which will be available from the right-click menu.
