Possible to hide an external HDD from iMovie?

I have two external drives, call them DRIVE_A and DRIVE_B, which I use exclusively for iMovie Projects and Events. I am using Carbon Copy Cloner to do a daily backup from DRIVE_A to DRIVE_B. The idea is to import content to DRIVE_A and have it backed up to DRIVE_B. I would like to hide DRIVE_B from iMovie, so that I avoid inadvertently importing content directly to DRIVE_B, rather than to DRIVE_A. Does anyone know of a way to hide an external drive from iMovie (or just keep it out of the list of drives)?

  • I can't see my shared external HDD from my Macbook

    I have a Mac Pro on 10.5.8 that has an External HDD connected to it. It mounts and works properly.
    I went to 'System Preferences/Sharing/File Sharing' and shared many internal drives as well as the external HDD. Users for the shares are: My local user name, and also everyone with R&R access granted, and in options I tried with AFP and SMB selected.
    Now from my Macbook Pro on 10.6.6 I can see my MacPro. When I click on it I can see all the local drives shared on my MacPro, but not the external HDD.
    I also tried 'connect to server' with afp://localipaddress/ExternalHDD but I am asked for the user/passw. There I enter the local user/passw for the MacPro where I have the shares and I get "There was an error connecting to the server 192.168.1.8. Check the server name or IP address and then try again"
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thank you!

    Me too. I have a Mac mini running 10.6.7 with an external USB drive. I have set it up to share the drive, but in System Preferences, the access column is grayed out for all users. In Finder, if I click on the drive, it shows up with the Shared Folder designation. But the drive does not show up when I connect to the Mac mini from my MacBook (also 10.6.7). Other shared folders do show up.

  • Help with moving an external HDD from old MBP to brand new MBPwRetina

    We just bought a brand new MacBook Pro and are trying to use the external HD  from our 4yo Macbook (data has been removed already), and we've tried some of the things in other similar threads and it's not working. The old macbook is running OSX 10.6.8. New macbook is running 10.7.4  HDD is a seagate formatted NTFS.
    We can wipe the drive and completely reformat if that's necessary- there is no critical data on it. We just need to be able to write from the new macbook. Right now the permissions are read only.
    We've tried the sudo chwon and chmod commands and that didn't help.
    TIA!

    I think you can copy iDVD from the /Applications folder on your old Mac to your new Mac's /Application folder. If that doesn't work, you can use your SuperDrive and install iDVD from your iLife DVD.

  • Is is possible to take a finished project from iMovie 10, and move it to iMovie 9?

    Here's the deal. I've got a finished iMovie 10 project. I want to move it to iMovie 9. Here's why. In iMovie 10, when I shared it to Media, I didn't see any drop down to select the quality. i.e....like in iMovie 9....1080p or 720p or Large or Medium. It just did it on its own. I'd like to take this iMovie 10 project and move it to iMovie 9, and share it to Media Browser again, so I can choose a smaller size, so it will fit where I want to put it.
    Of course all this is moot, if someone can tell me how to share to Media Browser in iMovie 10, at a smaller level than 1080p or 720p. I'm at a complete loss here. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thank you,

  • Is it possible to hide my cc email from app menus? (to make video tutorials privately)

    Hi, I just wanted to know if it's possible to hide the CC email address, such as the one in the Edit menu in Photoshop CC. In many video tutorials I've seen, people seem to manually blur it out every time, which seems very silly. If it's not possible, I'll just make a new junk mail address and go with that.

    Hi Nick2828,
    Its not possible that I'm aware of, maybe sign out of the app temporarily? or do what you suggested.

  • How to un-exclude an external HDD from Time Machine

    I just upgraded/replaced a 500GB Seagate drive with a 1TB Seagage Expansion external drive due to the size of my photo library.  I want to continue to use Time Machine as my back up software (to a seperate 3TB drive).  However, Time Machine won't allow me to un-exclude the new HDD (the old one is excluded).
    I'm running OS X 10.7.5, and the new drive is formated in the FAT32 format.  Is that my probem?
    Thanks

    Open Time Machine preferences, click on the Options button. At the bottom of the exclusion list click on the Add [-] button, select the drive in the File dialog, click on the Exclude button. Understand that this configuration will only remain as long as the drive remains mounted.

  • Restore External HDD from TM Backup

    My External drive with my iPhoto and iTunes libraries died. The drive fell down from a table, and since then it is not recognized -- I thought these kind of drives had shock protection.
    Fortunately, I have a TM backup. The question is how to best restore the TM backup. If I give it the same name, will TM recognize it as the same drive, so that it doesn't do a full backup next time, after restore? It is quite a huge amount of data. Judging from some older discusssions, it seems the answer is no, but I would like to check again.

    Tonight I found most of the solution I needed:
    -Create a new administrator account on your machine.
    -Run the Migration Assistant.
    -It should identify your previous hard drive's name, and that's what you migrate from to your new account.
    -If your new account and your old account (the one on your old machine), have the same name, you cannot migrate to an account with the same name. You should get a prompt to change the account name in the three options that are given.
    -I gave the account being migrated TO a new name, and in about 30 minutes everything came over.
    The remaining problem is that some of my items did not make it and I cannot find those folders in my Time Machine.
    Also, iTunes is looking like it needs to be rebuilt for the most part. I have an iTunes Match account. That auto-imported all of my playlists but my movies have to be re-imported into iTunes for it to recognize them again.
    Oh yea...my backup of the iTunes library list is nowhere to be found. I think it's in and among those items that are yet to be found.

  • Sharing connected external hdd from imac to macbook?

    problem explained here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1749755&tstart=0
    thanks

    First make sure that both computers have the 'file sharing' box checked in the system preferences>sharing panel. Assuming you are running Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), open Finder and the computer should show in the sidebar under sharing. Select that computer and in the top right of the window choose 'connect as' and it will ask for a user name and password (for the other computer - not the one you are using). If you've already done these steps before, you may need to select disconnect first so you can log in again. To gain access to all the volumes mounted on that computer (internal or external) enter an admin user name and password. If unsure who admin users are, check the other computers system preferences>accounts panel.
    NOTE: Both computers also need to be connected to the same network for this method (whether wired or wireless).

  • How can i stop the shortcuts to my external hdd from bein removed from the sidebar in finder

    Hi,
    I have a 2TB Samsung story station where i download all my movies and tv shows. (got about 200 GB left hahaha)
    On the drive there are some folders for the movies, tv shows, music and other content.
    In the Finder I drag 'n dropped the folders to the navigation bar (right under downloads, applications and desktop).
    But since it's a laptop, i have to take it somewhere and dismount the drive, now the shortcuts are gone. When I mount it again, the shortcuts are still gone.
    I thought I could create a shortcut to the folders and put those in my user folder, and drag those to the navigation bar, because they are still on my laptop so I figured they wouldn't be removed. Wrong. This is really starting to **** me off since there are about 5 folders on the drive I want in the navigation bar and since you can't drag 'n drop multiple folders at once into the bar, everytime i reconnect my drive i have to drag them back in there. Is there a way around this?
    Thanks in advance
    Bjorn Halenbeek

    Right the shortcuts, Apple Speak Alias, can't be in the Sidebar with the drive disconnected.
    If you placed a Alias to an folder on your internal drive on the Sidebar then Deleted that folder the Link/Alias/Shortcut would also be taken off the Sidebar as that folder no longer exists.

  • Can't boot Arch from external HDD

    Hi, well first off this is not my first Arch Linux installation, I'm using Arch for a little over a year now (coming from slack). But this is my first attempt to have Arch on an external HDD.
    Alrighty, the situation is as follows: A rather new computer (supports booting from USB devices and the bios is set to boot from removable devices first) with a built in HDD and an external HDD that's connected to that computer via USB.
    What I did: I connected the external HDD to the computer and booted off a 2008.6 Overlord core-CD.
    Arch-Live recognized the internal HDD as sda and the external HDD as sdb.
    I partitioned the external HDD using cfdisk and ran mkfs.ext3 on it (I didn't use any switches with that).
    I started the installer, set my mount points (I should mention I'm not gonna use a swap partition here), installed the packages, well just went through the installation routine and installed grub in the MBR of sdb (the external HDD).
    Then I rebooted. And this is what doesn't work: When I boot that computer with the external HDD connected the computer completely hangs right before grub would come up. It freezes completely, ctrl+alt+del doesn't work, I need to use the powerswitch to reboot the computer.
    So I put the Arch-CD back in the CD drive trying to boot into my Arch System on the external HDD. So I started typing:
    root (hd1,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb1 ro vga=773
    initrd /boot/kernel26.img
    When I try to boot off that grub tells me that there is no such device as hd1,0. The funny thing is, that the auto copmletion in grub works for the kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 but it doesn't for the device /dev/sdb1, in fact even root=/de<tab> returns a "unrecognized string" message.
    So this is what I did and I can't boot off my external HDD, neither can I boot into my system on the external hdd from the cdrom.
    What am I missing here?

    The harddrive you boot from is in my experience always hd0. Could this mean your external disc is hd2?
    Have you tried chainloading from the installer cd to your external disc?

  • External HDD mirroring using USB Interface

    Has anyone out there explored the possibility of mirroring two external HDDs (identical ones) through the USB interface ? If so, I would like to know how it can be achieved.
    When I say mirroring, I mean that a single write operation actually duplicates the information on two separate external disks simultaneously. Much like the professional RAID mirroring on more expensive solutions. I am looking at a very inexpensive way of having redundancy built in for safeguarding my data. Perhaps some app out there can do this for me ? Or perhaps this may be a good idea for a brand new App ? Compromise on speed may be an issue, but it would be great value for money.

    That is actually a classic backup solution using time machine, where both boot drive as well as EHD is being backed up incrementally in a format which is native to OS Mavericks. Such a backup can only be used to "Restore" the files back onto the source machine. Excellent for normal backup operations.
    However, what I have in mind is two sets of EHDs (external HDD) formatted to FAT or maybe the NTFS, where the files are kept in a standard format and can be read on ANY machine whether OS X or Windows.
    On a proper mirrored system, both HDDs appear to be one only, and the filesystem also appear to be one. So when we handle a file from the mirrored system, the cloning on the two HDD is done transparently without the user getting to know of it. Failure of one HDD will not result in loss of data since that would be available on the other HDD, and when the faulty HDD is replaced, the data gets replicated again from the good HDD. Such a mirrored system is very expensive and not affordable by ordinary mortals like most of us.
    So, to get around the expense part of the whole thing, now that we have fast USB3 interfaces, we can possible use 2 x cheap EHDs hooked onto two separate USB 3 ports, and use them as a mirrored set. It is understandable that since the computer cannot access two USB ports simultaneously, there will be some trade-off to the speed of handling the two EHDs, but, that is acceptable. At least we have two identical sets of data available, which can be used in an emergency on any other system. Should one EHD crash, we can always extract all data from the second one.
    I am not sure if such an arrangement is possible using the existing functionality of the OS X, and so someone may need to whip up an app or a script for doing this. Alternately, some really clever geek could come up with some remarkable solution/work-around. Looking forward for some bright spark from somewhere.
