Putting pictures on CD and getting them from my hard drive.

On my last question I asked for help in learning how to use Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and got some help which is great. After veriew of the data I have these questions. 1. How can I add pictures to a CD using this program? 2. I have many pictures on my hard drive and would like to tansfer some of them to this program. Can it be done? Thanks for all your help. Gerry

This Help file page starts you off with importing photos into the Organizer:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WS0A018322-3DDA-4d0b-845C-F7374D1C6FF9 _WIN.html
The thing to keep in mind is that Organizer is a database program (the catalog is the database). Wherever you have your photos stored on your computer, when you "import" them into the Organizer catalog, what you're doing is storing their location in the database tables. Think of the database as having "links" to the actual location of the photos.
Once the photos (locations) are in the catalog, Organizer has commands that will move the physical files on your computer and update its database with the new location. That's the best way to handle photos that are already in the database, but I don't think that's the question you were asking.

Would like to use WD MyBook external SOLELY for my iPhoto library and remove it from my hard drive to clear up space. How do I do this?

I just bought a 3TB My Book that I would like to store my iPhoto library on and remove it from my hard drive completely. I am running Time Machine with another external drive as back up and would like to use Time Machine to also back up my photos that will be on my My Book external. How do I move my iPhoto library to my new external and delete it from my hard drive? The catch is that I only want this new external to be for my iPhoto. I don't want Time Machine to start backing up my entire hard drive, since I already have an external dedicated to back up. I have not attached my external yet because I am afraid it will automatically start backing up my entire hard drive. I am very experienced on a Mac but not very technical so please, no big words and THANKS MUCH in advance!!

First format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
Next drag your iPhoto library from your Pictures folder to the EHD. When the copying is complete launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the window that comes up select the library on the EHD:
Check the file path under the window to make sure the correct library has been selected.
Once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all of your photos you can delete the library in your Pictures folder.

I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hard drive. I have converted some of my AVI movies to mp4 and transferred them to the hard drive, but when I play them through my iPad 2 I can hear the sound but not see the movie. Help???

I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hardrive , i have converted some of my AVI movies to MP4 and loaded them onto the hard drive, when I try and play them through my I pad2 I can hear the sound of the movie but not see the film, somebody please help, what am I doing wrong as I have spent a lot of time converting these movies to be able to travel with my iPad and watch them. Thank you

Unfortunately, the drive is pretty much restricted without hacking it. That is, you can't stream its content via standardized protocols like UPnP, SMB, FTP and the like. This makes you won't be able to access its content from any third-party apps otherwise capable of playing back AVI files from UPnP / SMB / FTP / WebDAV etc. sources.
While this is certainly not a recommendation (I can in no way be held responsible if anything goes wrong): you may want to consider extending the capabilities of the drive by installing the hack: http://www.hackseagatesatellite.com/wordpress/welcome/
It'll "open" the drive for third-party, AVI-capable multimedia apps like GoodPlayer, It's Playing etc. to directly play the files over the network.

if you use iTunes match in order to create space and remove music from your hard drive, does that happen automatically when you subscribe and upload your music or is there another step to remove the music from your hard drive once you've uploaded to iTunes match?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes match won't automatically remove content from your computer, if you want to do that you will need to do it manually yourself.

Drag the existing iTunes library to the external drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it to that instance of the library.

I deleted all images on my computer and they deleted from my hard drive as well. Is there any way to restore them to their original place?

I have roughly 22,000 photos on my external hard drive, and when I deleted all the photos from my computer after copying them to my hard drive, they deleted from the external hard drive as well. When I look in my trash, I have 22,000 ish photos in there, but when I plug in my external hard drive, I have 44,000 ish. Is there any way I can restore my photos from the trash on my hard drive to the folders they were taken from?

You can drag them out of the trash folder to wherever you wish. There is no automatic way to restore them.
If you have a recent backup of your computer (at the risk of preaching, everyone should have one), restore them from there.
Barry
P.S. I have no clue what you did or why you have 44,000 on the external drive

How do I delete photos from iPhoto without deleting them from my hard drive

I've imported a bunch of photos from my hard drive.
I would now like to delete some of these photos from iPhoto but would still like to keep them on my hard drive in case I need to access them in future.
However, when I delete a photo from iPhoto and move it to the Trash, once Trash is emptied it deletes the original from the hard disc as well.
How do I get around this?
Thanks
Nick

Thanks guys.
Can I hide an entire Event?
I used to use Picasa on a PC. When you make any changes in Picasa (even rotating a picture) it creates a copy. Any photos you have altered get named 'Originals' so when you import into iPhoto you end up with hundreds of Events called Originals with near duplicate photos.
So probably a third of my images (around 1500) are near dupes which I want out of the application but want to keep secure on my hard drive...
The pitfalls of switching to iPhoto from Picasa I guess (that said, iPhoto looks great)...

Getting data from multiple hard drives onto one drive

So here's the problem: I have a Quicksilver 867 I want to upgrade, it came with no HD so I want a new one, I put my old strawberry imac's HD into it because I still have a use for all the programs on it (i.e. photoshop) and I wanted to take advantage of the QS' hardware (superdrive), also I know my department is getting rid of their old G4 and that computer has some programs I would rather see being used than being erased, so is there a way to copy all the information from those two drives onto a new drive and still have those programs working good? I've read about HD copying software but am still hazy on how it will handle individual programs? If I have to copy the whole drive, would there be a problem with multiple system folders being on the new HD? I don't have much experience with this sort of thing, so I hope I'm describing the situation well enough.
I plan to buy Tiger and install it on the new HD and the old drives are running os 9.1 and 9.2 just to let you all know. If anyone can give me some advice I would be most grateful.
thanks,
nick

Having multiple system folders on the same volume is a problem waiting to happen. The safest way to have trouble-free programs is to use the original installer CDs to load the software, so that all components (both visible and invisible) are written to their designated locations on the hard drive. Copying programs from another hard drive without ownership of the media is software piracy. If your employer doesn't use the programs on the soon-to-be discarded G4, why not ask if you can have or purchase the installer CDs?

I able to copy and paste files from external hard drive to mac, but not the other way around. Please suggest. Thanks

I m able to copy and paste selected files from external hard drive to my mac but not the other way around. Im not able to copy files from Mac to external hard drive.
The same is working fine with USB flash memory.
Please help.

Time Machine and Powerbook away from external hard drive

According to Apple's Web site:
+"When your mobile Mac is connected to your backup drive, Time Machine works as you’d expect. When it isn’t connected, Time Machine also works as you’d expect. It keeps track of which files have changed since the last backup and backs them up accordingly."+
except this doesn't seem to be happening for me.
Everything is exactly as I'd expect when I'm in the office connected to my external hard drive - hourly backups during the day. However, if I'm away from my desk for a few hours and then come back to the hard drive and plug it in I'd expect (from the description above) to see the hourly backups appear in time machine for when I had my Macbook switched on. If I'm away for a couple of days I'd expect to see one backup per day.
So, here is my question, if I'm not actually connected to my firewire attached Lacie hard drive is Time Machine doing anything? It would help me if I create a file away from my desk that I have the hourly time machine backups held locally to retrieve if needed. If this is not the way it works, it's not the end of the world for me, I just need to be aware that the latest backup will be when I had the external drive connected and I'm getting nothing while I'm away - and maybe Apple chould clarify their marketing blurb .
David.

You are welcome.
Also keep in mind that while the drive is connected you can initiate a Back Up Now at any time (right click the Time Machine icon in the dock). So if you are about to try something worrisome or complex with your system or your data files, you can trigger a backup, do your task, and know the backup is there to recover from so long as it's still the same day. I.e., you can make the incremental backups happen more frequently than hourly by explicitly requesting them when you want them.
The thing that confuses most people is probably this idea of hourly backups becoming daily and then weekly. They are not merged when that happens. Of all the backups taken in a given day, only one survives. And of the seven of those in a given week, only one survives, even though there is still plenty of room on the drive. And when the drive runs short of room the oldest backups start getting deleted (although you are asked before that happens, just in case you want to start afresh with a new drive). So the backup that survives as the daily backup is a complete snapshot of your file system at that specific point in time, without regard to changes that might have been captured in other hourly backups during the same day.
So Time Machine works best with files that stick around for a while or when you discover a file has been accidentally damaged or deleted relatively soon after that happens.

Does deleting photos remove them from my hard drive?

I have just installed Photoshop Elements 6.
iphoto then imported 1,172 thumbnails.
Does this mean these pictures are taking up twice as much space as needed by being in the library
and if I delete them will I delete them from the programme?
thanks,
Jacquie

Jacquie
You’ll need to give us more information than this.
This:
I have just installed Photoshop Elements 6.
does not cause this:
iphoto then imported 1,172 thumbnails.
Are you sure these are thumbnails? Where did they come from?
Does this mean these pictures are taking up twice as much space as needed by being in the library
Depends... iPhoto - by default - copies files into the Library. The best way to use iPhoto is to allow it to do this and then remove the other filing system.
and if I delete them will I delete them from the programme?
IF you delete them from iPhoto then you will remove them from the Library and the Hard Drive - but it won’t remove the files in your other filing system.
It might be best if you explain what you want to achieve, then we may be able to help your more concisely.

Importing music, artwork and data base from external hard drive

I purchased a MacBook to use primarily as a music server. I have an external hard drive with over 300GB of music files ripped from CDs in Apple Lossless with a computer using Windows XP. I also have another external hard drive formatted for the Mac. My goal is to attach both drives to the MacBook via USB and transfer the music files, album art, and iTunes data base from the Windows system hard drive to the new Mac formatted hard drive. Then I am going to reformat the Windows system hard drive to the Mac format and use it as a back up for the other hard drive. Has anyone ever done something similar? If so, I would appreciate some guidance. If possible, I want to do the above so that the file names and artwork from the Windows itunes system do not get changed or left out when making the transfer to the Mac system. All music files will still be in ALAC. Thanks to all for your help.

Lots of programs out there from which to choose. In the meantime, don't access the drive.

I need help with a backup file that was deleted and now undeleted from my hard drive

Last month (May 6, 2011), I was updating my iPod Touch 4G with the new software that came out. I always make a backup of my iPod's data before I update it. While my iPod was updating I left my iPod and computer alone and was doing things around the house with my mom. And when I was done I went in my room to see if it was done and my computer decides that it was going to freeze and crash on me (with my iPod plugged in and stuck on the updating or verifying software mode.) I managed to get my iPod back to working condition again but losing everything on my iPod. I formatted my computer hard drive but I managed to get back the backup I lost. I need help on getting the backup into iTunes so I can get my data back. I am not Jailbroken and I plan not to Jailbreak. I however saved the backup file in a folder other than the Mobilesync folder. I am also running on Windows XP. Someone please help me and thank you in advance!

I was able to backup my iPod and I tried to restore my iPod again and it goes through the process and everything but it restores the temporary data that I had on there. It didn't restore application data or the current photos and videos that I had saved in Camera Roll before this all had happened. It is almost like it goes back to factory settings but I have some photos that were saved on the other backup that I was temporarily running on. The backup that I am looking to restore is the only backup file in the Mobilesync folder as of right now the others are saved somewhere safe for right now. Why doesn't it restore my application data or my Camera Roll pictures and videos that I saved before my computer crashed last month? Can this problem be fixed?

How do I get music from External Hard Drive to iTunes?

Hi, I recently got an external hard drive to free up some memory on my powerbook. I put all of my music on there and deleted it from my computer, following the article about "Moving your iTunes folder". It copied most of the songs and worked temporarily, but then I had to erase my hard drive, because I was having some issues with a few programs. So now I have my "iTunes Music" folder on my external hard drive, and when I choose that as the source of music for the library and try to consolidate, nothing happens.
So, how can I use the folder on my external hard drive for my iTunes library? I even tried reloading it onto my PowerBook hard drive and importing from there, and it didn't work... Any help would be fantastic.

if your main library is on your external, then when not connected, you wont have access to it.
so first decide, where do you want to keep the files.
E.g. In my case, I keep my files on "C:\iTunes Music".
I have a backup on external "Z:\iTunes Backup". If I format my laptop, this is how I restore everything.
Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced.
The iTunes music folder in selects as "C:\iTunes Music"
I have checked Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized, and also Copy Files to iTunes Music folder when adding to ibrary". Click OK to save and close preferences.
My iTunes list is now empty. I go to file, and select "Add Folder to Library". From that window, I select "Z:\iTunes Backup". iTunes then copies everything from the backup to "C:\iTunes Music". For me, backup is backup, I dont need it to play music.
Now decide this. If you do not want to keep music on C:, but want to only connect the external to update music on your ipod, do this:
In preferences, set iTunes Music folder as "Z:\iTunes Backup", and uncheck Copy files to iTunes Music folder, since they are already there. Then in files, select Add folder to library again to build and update the list.

Getting files from a hard drive used w/mac = PC

Hey all,
I have an external hard drive that was used with a mac. There are a bunch of files that I need off the hard drive, but every time I plug the hard drive into the pc, the computer knows it's there but I can't access any of the info on the drive. Is there anyway around this? I also have an older 120 gb ipod that you can use as a hard drive. Could I plug it into a mac and transfer the files over and then put the files from the ipod on my computer? Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Pat
(My next computer is a mac, but I'm in college and broke lol)

Install the MacDrive trial on the PC.
