Removing Events, Projects from Library manually

Hi
Has anyone removed either Events or Projects from the Library manually (deleting from package contents on drive)?
Any reason there could be a problem?

Ah, so you do have experience of what can go wrong. That's different. I just posted a discussion about my experiment.
You say do it inside, I see no way to do that. Not without copying the project''s media along with the project. And that happens with external consolidation too right. If I consolidate an event (projects only) outside FCPX, it will copy the media used in those projects also. I don't want to copy the original clips that constitute the 40+minutes of the first half or the 45 minutes I've reached with more to do of the second half.
The reason I would do it is that I'm having lots of twirling color ball and drop down windows saying projects that are unneeded are loading. Into the ram. I'm trying to figure out how to lessen the ram's load and it always seems to load old projects. Editing segments of a feature-length doc, I often experiment where I see a possible different route, and if I'm going to make more than a couple changes, or I'm not sure if I am, I duplicate the project and continue working. I don't think that's uncommon.
In FCP and earlier versions of FCPX you could easily get past the problem by: in FCP, duplicating the project and deleting old sequences (you could always copy back in), or in earlier FCPX, removing specific event and project folders from Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects folders (you could always return).
THANKS for taking the time to help, I very much appreciate it.

How to restore iMovie 10 events & projects from Time Machine?

Here is the scenario I am facing: I completed some projects and then moved those events & projects to an external HD that subsequently died. The question I have is how can I tap into Time Capsule's history to restore the events and projects I moved out from the internal HD and later lost because the external HD died? All of this happened in Mac OS Mavericks, running iMovie 10, so "my stuff" lives within the "iMovie Library.imovielibrary" file whose content I should not see/modify.
Thank you, eugen

Hello eugen_nw
Open up Finder and navigate to your Movies folder where the library was stored and enter Time Machine and you should see the cascading Finder Windows and you can go back an find the file and then click Restore to bring back the file. Check out the article below and there is a section for restoring files.

Lost project from library

Hi can anyone help me?
I went to open project from the library today and it is missing from the project library.
I have found the file in iMovie project folder but it will not open or drag and drop into iMovie to open
Any advice welcome

Hi
If You moved or altered any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder
Then connection back to iMovie most probably is broken - and this especially if material is moved to an external hard disk FORMATTED as UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - then the problem get's even worse and with a HIGH Risk of in a non mendable way.
All movings of Event's and Project's must
• be done within the iMovie application
• to a Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted hard disk
else all can be lost.
Yours Bengt W

How do we remove GST / Tax from a manual order?

Hi,
Does anyone know how we can remove GST from a manual order?
The tax is greyed out at 10% and can't be changed but this customer is an overseas customer that pays our Australian pricing but does not pay tax.
Any ideas?

Hey DandyDahlia,
Please reach out to Support over live chat or submit a support ticket via the admin console of your site/Partner Portal > Help & Support and we'll be able to review your site and suggest what changes may be required in order to setup your shopping cart so that overseas customers do not get charged Australian tax.
However it sounds like you will need to modify the {tag_shippingoptions} tag on your Shopping Cart layout to {tag_shippingoptions,true} in order to enable the Country selection drop down. Also ensure that the Tax Code for your products are set to 'Not Applicable'. If you implement this, then when a customer proceeds to the Shopping Cart layout, if they select Australia from the Country Drop Down, they will then need to select a tax option (i.e. GST). If they don't select Australia, then they won't need to select a tax option. Additional information on this can be found in the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/displaying-shipping-options-inside-shoppi ng.html

Remove event listener from loaded external swf

I have a main movie timeline that loads an external swf. When I unload the swf from the main timeline I get an error from this: my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, vidEnd);
is there any way to remove the event listener from the loaded swf from the main timeline?
THANKS!

if you're publishing for fp 10+, use unloadAndStop() applied to your swf's loader. that has a fair chance of solving the problem.
if that fails, you should explicitly stop my_FLVPlybk.

Removed some files from library folder

moved files from library folder and attempted to put them back after experiencing major changes and problem. This is not correcting the situation what can be done to restore it back to what it was before I started?

Hi Ali,
Update, I did a verify permissions with disk utility and some stuff is where it should be now, (recovered iphoto yeah) but still a problem with other things as before.
So to answer your questions,
What is the exact path to this folder? And please post the contents of the folder.
I get to her old itunes by the following path;
home>music>itunes>itunes music - this folder contains folder icons of all her old itunes library, each artist has a folder, such as amy cook>list of albums>list of songs - if selected will than open itunes and will import to new itunes library.
I don't quite understand the heirarchy you are describing. Please post the contents of her Home folder.
Her home folder contains
Desktop
Documents
Library
Movies
Music
Pictures
plus 9 folders she had created over the past four years these are intact and accessible to proper application programs (ie documents open in appleworks, pictures are from the pictures library not iphoto, 3rd party software such as genealogy programs are intact and up to date)
"I find some old unchanged items such as itunes, imovie, email mailbox items, in a folder that she created before the change took place in her user
account."
What is the exact path to this folder?
As for this folder some things were moved back to proper places with the above mentioned verify permissions, some like, mailbox items, I was able to import to current settings to restore to how it use to be. From what I gather she created this file when things were going wrong and she feared messing the whole thing up. I access this by the following path;
home>library>(then the folder she created) Library do not touch.
When I compare the main library file to my account main library file they do not contain the same items in fact many of the missing items seem to be in this folder that she created. I assume the ones I need are in this file she created but I am really hesitant to just start moving things around out of fear of creating more problems on her side or messing up my side.
If you have sufficient available disk space, you shouldn't have any problem, but you need a reliable backup, just in case.
In regards to archive/install - sufficient available disk space meaning as much or more than what I am currently using? How do I check this to be sure?
Which brings me to a whole new question if you have time?
We do have an external back up system, which we used before a semi-recent move, (I plan on finding the box it is packed in believe me), however we attempted to use imacs backup program to do a quicker backup, were able to back up her side onto disks, but when I attempted to do the same on my side I received an failure error screen something about a drained buffer and being unable to perform a backup. Please tell me I have not fried my dvd drive!!!
Thanks again, hope I answered in a way that is helpful to you.

Merging iMovie 10 events, projects and library...

I had my prior version iMovie events and projects on a nonstartup internal drive (in folders "iMovie Events" and "iMovie Projects"). I hadn't used iMovie in a while, and iMovie had updated itself to version 10.0.5. Last night I opened it up and used it, and now have an "iMovie Events," "iMovie Projects," and "iMovie Library" file in ~/Documents/Movies
I'd like to move the contents of the new Events and Projects folder to the nonstartup internal drive location with all the projects and events (old and new) in those folders on the nonstartup drive. From what I've read, that is supposed to be done within iMovie, but I don't see how to do that. The drive does NOT show up anywhere within iMovie!
Secondly, I only seem to have one iMovie Library file, and it is in ~/Documents/Movies, but when iMovie 10 opened, there were no events or projects listed. How do persuade iMovie 10 to load the old projects and events? If I open up iMovie 9.0.9, it shows the projects and events that were created under 9.0.9 but does NOT show the 10.0.5 projects and events. Is the 9.0.0 iMovie Library file in a different location, and if so, is there a way to merge the contents of these libraries?

Basically no. Projects are now part of events and not separate from them.

Can't remove event listener from Image

I'm clearly missing something and would appreciate some help. I'm trying to run an event handler when an Image completes loading, then remove the handler so that it won't run again should the image be reloaded later.
The problem that I'm having is that the event handler simply wont' go away, despite calling removeEventListener on the Image object.
The following example demonstrates the problem (the example doesn't actually do anything useful...it's just the shortest example to demonstrate the problem). (To run the app, you'll have to provide any ol' JPEG file named "myImage.jpg" in the "src" directory of your project).
What I expect to happen is :
     1) on startup, the image loads and loadComplete() runs.
     2) loadComplete removes the event Listener so that subsequent re-loads won't re-fire the handler. I only want the handler to run once.
     3) "loadComplete" shoudl be displayed in the Debug console.
     4) A button click should display only "Changing Image" in the Debug console
What I get instead is that the loadComplete handler isn't removed, and every time I click the button, loadComplete runs when the image is re-loaded   (i.e., every button click results in both "Change Image" AND "loadComplete" being displayed in the Debug console).

Hi,
You can remove only event listeners that you added with the addEventListener() method in an ActionScript block. You cannot remove an event listener that was defined in the MXML tag, even if it was registered using a call to the addEventListener()method that was made inside a tag attribute.
Check this page for reference.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=events_05.html
You can modify the code a bit a get it working
<mx:Image width="655" height="181" id="myImage" scaleContent="true"
          x="100" y="100"
          creationComplete="myImage_creationCompleteHandler(event)"/>
private function myImage_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
     myImage.addEventListener("complete",myImage_completeHandler);
     myImage.load("myImage.jpg");
private function myImage_completeHandler(event:Event):void
     myImage.removeEventListener("complete",myImage_completeHandler);

New computer - Can I open previous FCPX events/projects from an external hard drive on my new computer?

My old computer died - a Macbook Pro from 2011. Fortunately, I saved all of my FCPX events and projects on an external hard drive. Unfortunately, many of those projects were unfinished.
I have since bought a new iMac with FCPX, but I can't figure out how to open my old projects.
On my external hard drive, I have 2 folders: Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects.
Under a specific event, there is an "Analysis Files" folder, a "CurrentVersion.fcpevent" file, an "Original Media" folder, and a "Render Files" folder.
Under a specific project, there is a "CurrentVersion.fcpproject", a "Render Files" folder, and a "Shared Items" folder.
Is it possible to open up my old FCPX projects? Thanks so much for your help!

It may have been an earlier version, but that doesn't seem to be working. See attached photo
Its not allowing me to click on my Events or Projects.
Any other ideas?

Removing interactive booklets from Library but keeping them available

I'd like to remove all interactive booklets from my primary Library, as I'm shuffling and throughout my library 24/7 and when it gets to one, it stops the shuffle/play process. But I'd obviously still like to keep them somewhere. Anyone have any good suggestions? Create a second library or playlist just for them - but won't they still reside on my main library still?

This works for songs, I don't have any booklets so I can't test them but you could try this. CTRL & Click on each booklet in the library to highlight them. Right click anywhere in the selection and choose Get Info, you'll get a message asking if you want to edit multiple items, choose yes. In the Info box choose Yes for the setting "Skip when shuffling"

How to in imovie 10.0.2 combine projects from library into a movie then export to DVD?

Having trouble exporting imovie to a DVD. Can it be done without additional purchase?? Does drag drop combine multi project videos to create 1 movie? (I have not tried this so far, nervous I might loose my work) Thank You for any help....

Thanks. I now see that I need to go to File then start new event there.
And on the "updated projects" point, I'll have to play around with that so I can understand it better, I hope.
But on my last point, to clarify, I can access my iphoto videos using the CURRENT version of imovie, but when I use the LAST imovie version, I can only get iphoto videos that were imported into iphoto PRIOR to my upgrading to Mavericks (at least I think that is what has happened?!). ( and I'm using the most recent version of iphoto in all instances) Any other thoughts on this? Thanks.

Removing event listener from a button.

I've added a "click" event listener to a button, but I'd like to remove it once the button is clicked, so it's not active/clickable any longer. Here's the basic code:
sym.$('button').click(function(){
     //here I need to make this button not clickable any longer
Thank you.

one way...
sym.$('button').click(function(){
     //here I need to make this button not clickable any longer
     // do smething here then unbind click handler
            sym.$('button').unbind( "click" );
unbind documentation here.

Remove Exchange 2007 from AD (manually)

In the lab I had Exchange 2007 running and someone pulled my VM. It's not the end of the world because I'm done with what I was doing in 2007 however I've got other things running in the lab and I'd rather not rebuild the domain.
Does anyone know what the process would be to clean up AD (remove the Exchange org) without having the Exchange server to do an uninstall on? Can I Install the Exchange admin console on another box and than remove the mail attributes from the accounts that has them and just remove the Exchange Systems Object container in AD or is there more?

I did run into one problem while trying to install RTM:

I was able to resolve the issue by launching adsiedit.msc (part of the support tools) and going to the Configuration partion and bringng up the properties for Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com
I edited the "othereWellKnownObjects" attribute to be "not set" (which it should be) by leaving it blank and clicking "add" (adding nothing) than applying the changes and re-running setup.
Kudos to this thread for the fix:

otherWellKnownObjects is a multi-valued object. You need to remove the bad value, NOT ALL OF THEM!!

Deleting Events & Projects from iMovie

I have completed my projects and shared them with iDVD and sucessfully burned them.
If I delete all events and projects in iMovie will I still have the finished product in iDVD?

Yes once you have created projects in iDVD, you will find those files stored in your User/Documents folder.
You can delete the iMovie files without affecting the IDVD projects.

Removing deleted projects from welcome window

Even after I delete a project in the After Effects project file the name still shows in the Welcome Window. Is there a way to keep this from happening? I'm using CS4, XP SP3.

I'm sure it's in the AE prefs somewhere, but since I never use the welcome screen, I can't tell you excactly where. You may wish to open the file and look for "MRU" (most recently used), then delete the respective entries. The file can be found in C:\Documents and Settings\Commalot\Application Data\Adobe\After Effects\9.0\After Effects CS4 Prefs.txt.
