Saving screenshots to a different location?

Somewhere, there is a preference to set the default location to save screenshots... I can't find it now! I have one of my machines set to save screenshots to a folder on my desktop, so I know this is possible. But I can't seem to find that preference on a second machine. I thought it was a preference setting in Cocktail, but it isn't there.
Can anyone tell me where to set the default location for saving screenshots? I need to set it to a folder instead of Mac OS's default of the Desktop.
Thanks!

I would love to know how to set a different location. How do you do this in Leopard and Snow Leopard?

I'm trying to download Firefox 4, but the following message comes up: Downloading/Volumes/firefox/o5we?qDe.part.part could not be saved, because an unknown error has occurred. Try saving to different location. What does this mean?

When trying to download to download Firefox 4, the following message comes up: Downloading/Volumes/Firefox/05weDe.part. could not be saved because of an unknown error. Try saving to a different location. I have a Mac OS X Version 10.4.10. I think I should be able to download Firefox 4. I have Firefox Version 3.6 now.

I am often getting this kind of error, although I believe it's less frequent with Firefox 4 than with the previous version. I do not know a proper solution, but I have noticed this:
* If I simply try to re-download, it will fail again.
* If I clear the list in the download window, I can download the same file without any trouble.
I believe the problem may be related to the antivirus software. The file is downloaded completely, and instead of moving it to the final position Firefox gets confused and deletes it.

Songs saved in two different locations, why?

I was looking around my hd today and found that I have two copies of many of my mp3 files, some of which i deleted months ago. The first set of songs are in the "Music" folder and are only sorted by file name. The second set is located in music>itunes>itunes music and is sorted by artist then album, the same as in iTunes.
I have two questions. Firstly, is it safe to delete the copies in the Music folder and just use the ones in the iTunes folder? And second is there any way I can stop this from happening in the future?
Thanks

May I ask a related question, since what I'm trying to do is to avoid having songs in two different locations? (If not, just tell me the rules; I'm relatively new to Discussions, as well as being a new Mac OS X user!)
I've set up separate user accounts for my children on our iMac. They want to put music on the computer, but their interests overlap somewhat. In order to avoid having the same songs copied into the iTunes Music folder of more than one user, and to allow all users to access all music files, I followed a suggestion from David Pogue's book on OS X, namely to put all the music in an iTunes Music folder in the ~/Users/Shared folder, and then make that the default folder for each user by changing the iTunes preferences.
The problem with this was that then my son was unable to copy (import?) the music from a CD by dragging it to his iTunes Library icon--error message said he didn't have access to the folder--whereas he had been able to do so when ~/Users/HisUsername/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music was his default folder. I tried to solve this problem by changing the permissions on ~/Users/Shared/iTunes Music to be read & write, but then everyone but me started having problems running iTunes (it would give an error message saying "iTunes is on a locked disk, or you don't have access . . .").
Lots of people seem to have the same problem (i.e., error message in running iTunes), but leaving that aside my basic question is what's the most efficient way to store and access music files so that (a) everyone can access it, (b) the number of duplicates is minimized, and (c) individual users can add music to the computer? Any suggestions will be very welcome!

Excel file save as PDF goes to different locations on OneDrive

Good Afternon,
I'm trying to find any help referring to Excel 2013 and OneDrive. I've got application which creating kind of report and then saving it as PDF to OneDrive location. The problem
is that application is dropping copy of PDF file to default location (see code below) but also sometimes you can find same copy in different random folders on L: drive. I'm sure there is no other code which making copy to those locations. I was wandering if
it could be a problem with connection to a server? Your help will be much appreciated. Regards
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
    "L:\WW\Business Development\ARC South\Official's Report Templates\" & ActiveSheet.Range("GL42").Value & ".pdf" _
   , Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _
   :=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False

Thanks a lot for reply, I've got copies of those reports in
Official's Report Templates subfolder, but for some reason macro is dropping another copy (not always) into different location e.g. somewhere in ARC South,
outside of "Official's Report Templates" subfolder. Value in GL42 is only part of the name of the file and contains name of employee. That part seems to be fine, especially that macro is attaching that file to email from the same location (Official's
Report Templates) later. No idea where could be a problem.

CAMERA RAW UNABLE TO SAVE TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION.

I recently installed PS CS 5, and am having a problem with Camera Raw.
I cannot save any type of image to a different location from Camera Raw.
I CAN save to the same folder from which I opened the original file.
Problem exists with any file formats, both original and saved.
I chose Save in New Location from the Destination Menu, select a new folder, and after the new folder is selected the directory with the destination does not show in the Camera Raw dialogue box.
When I attempt to save it anyway, I get the :
"Camera Raw Save Status – The File Could Not Be Created" message.
In Preferences – File Handling – Save As To original Folder is unchecked.
Preferences have been trashed
Can not save any file format
Folders both created in Camera Raw and out of Camera Raw
Folders on desktop or on internal or external drive
PS Version 12.1
No third party of old filters, actions, etc installed.
The folder properties are the same for all the folders.
This problem occurs in both the 32 & 64 bit versions of CS5.
CS4 is still installed, and it does not exhibit this problem.
Thank you.

Hi,
In ACR I select SAVE IMAGE
The SAVE OPTIONS Dialogue Box opens.
The default view is DESTINATION - SAVE IN SAME LOCATION
To the right of the SELECT FOLDER button is the path to the folder which contains the file that was opened in ACR.
I change the destination to SAVE TO N EW LOCATION
The SELECT DESTINATION FOLDER window opens which shows a wndows explorer view of my complete file directory on the left, with an empty pane on thr right.
I select my new destination folder from the list on the left.
The selected folders name shows in the botton dialogue box labled FOLDER
I click the SELECT Button on the lower right corner, which brings me back to the previous windw which is the SAVE OPTIONS Dialogue Box.
BUT the file path does not show to the right of the SELECT FOLDER button.
That area is blank.
It makes no difference if I single click or double click to select my new folder.
++++++++++++++++ Here's Some New Information ++++++++++++++++++
When the SELECT DESTINATION FOLDER windows opens, and my new destination folder is selected, the right window is empty, even though that folder does contain image files, and the dialogue
No Items Match Your Search is displayed at the top of that pane.
It's as if ACR opened a Search rather than allowing me to select a new folder.

Place linked, any way to update several layers at once when changing location of source files? (i.e. moving source folder to different location/computer)

I have a PS file whic I wanna use as template for several works. I've got several layers containing external images which have been "placed linked" and which are organised in a single folder in my computer. I believe the links are saved as absolute therefore if I copy the PSD file and the source images folder into a different computer (or even if I move the source folder to a different location in the same computer) all smart objects have to be relinked one by one!!! any way to do it all at once (as I guess it is the case in Premiere and AE) assuming they're all in the same folder???
Also similar question when renaming all source images, any way PS can link to specific file and keep the link even if a name change happens?
If possible it'd be a huge time saver!
Thanks

anyone any help? Thx!

Transport to different location

Hi All,
I been go through standard KM Content transport method and ICE protocol transport. My requirement is to transport KM content (basically folders and docs) from Dev to Prod server but in a different location. For example, in Dev, the content i want to transport is from:
/my_stuff/
But after i saved the achieve file, i want to transport to a different location in Prod, e.g.
/my_stuff_at_dev/
But both standard KM transport method and ICE will replace/create achieve files from one server to the same location of the other server. So is that possible to transport to different location in the target server?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Raghu,
Thanks for your answer.
Is that mean i need to, say in Prod server:
1), create a temporary repository in KM
2), cut/paste the original my_stuff folder and its content to the temp repository
3), transport folder my_stuff from Dev to Prod
4), rename it to my_stuff_at_dev
5), cut and paste my_stuff_at_dev to the temp repository
6), move Prod's original my_stuff folder from the new repository back to its original position
Am i right for these steps?
Thanks!

Storing Podcasts in a different location

I want to store podcast on an external HDD connected to an Airport Extreme but keep my music files on the macbook to play over airtunes at a different location. I like to keep all my podcasts and have too many for the MBP HDD. can someone explain how i can do this??

You seem to be afraid of losing emails due to a potential computer failure - as computer is on it's last legs.
You are not talking about a problem with storage, just concerned the computer could die on you with all your emails.
You have a choice of actions:
You could backup the entire profile and copy it to external storage.
This will inlude all account names, preferences, emails, filters etc.
I assume you are using a POP mail account.
Make hidden files and folders visible:
The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
More info:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
If you use Windows Vista or Win7 OS
then locate this directory:
* C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxxdefault
The Profile folder name is 'xxxxxxx.default' where the x's will be letters and numbers.
Copy the profile folder name and paste it in external storage.
Another method:
You could backup only the emails and the address books.
Download this addon tool and save to desktop or downloads folder.

Batch processing: save processed file with same name to different location without moving the original

Hi, I would like to denoise Voice Over files with help of Auditions Batch Process. However, I have to save the files with the same name as the original, so that I can simply relink them in Premiere. Since I do want to keep the originals, I would like to save the processed files to a different location.
Unfortunately, Batch Processor adds " Copy" to the processed files and moves the originals along with the processed files to the new folder (causing Premiere to loose the original files).
Can I achieve my goal with Batch Processor, and how would I have to configure it?
Kind regards,
Andreas

Which version of Audition are you using? The latest ones allow you to specify where the batched files are saved and also if any Prefix or Postfix are added to the file name. These are all under Export Settings in the Batch Process pane. However you must have the Export box ticked to give you access to the settings.

How to REMOVE AND DELETE saved customizations applied to different accounts

Hi Experts
I have created and saved a customization called *'Hidden Graph'* through the front end (under page options)
I saved this customization against different application roles (BI Consumer / BI Author)
Now I No longer need to apply customiaztiion *'Hidden Graph'*
Can someone tell me where these customizations are saved so I can REMOVE AND DELETE it ?
Thanks
Hiten

To find the location and deleting from catalog, try to use catalog manager and use search xml for text 'Hidden Graph'
You can find them in sub folders of _selections folder in catalog
ex:
\users\weblogic\_selections
Just in case if you want to delete then you can do finding files like
Hidden+Graph
Hidden+Graph.atr
Nowhere mentioned deleting other than clearing check this doc once

Mounting Documents, Music, Video and Picture folder to different location.

I would like to mount the documents, video, picture and music folders to a different location than \users\<username\. Anyone know how I can go about doing this? My goal is to have those folders default to folders on a shared partition on the drive. I am dual booting OS X and Vista and would like to share the folders I listed above so both operating systems can read and write to them. I have my drives setup as follows:
Partition 1 OS X
Partition 2 Vista OS
Partition 3 Shared
I already have Vista defaulting to the correct folders on the shared drives but not sure how to get it done with OS X.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Moving the default folders may cause problems with installers and such that expect them to be where they normally are, and there may be various permissions issues. With that said, you should be able to create an alias or symbolic link to the desired folders and place them in your shared partition.

Mac mini server on two different location

Hi,
With my partner we are working on very havy image file from two different location. we wont to be able to share those file to each other easly and quickly mad make sur those file are allways up to date.
- My first idea was to install in my place one mac mini server with external hard drive (RAID 0) and install the same server in my partner place. then I would like to create a VPN connexion between both Mac Mini server and setup a kind of RAID 1 between then. link that if my partner modify an image file on the server, With a short delay I will be able to see it on my side. this solution would be the best for me as all the data would be save in two different location and I would not have any backup issue.
I did not buy the MAC mini server yet but as soon that I know the best soluiton and that it is possilbe to do so I will buy it.
- My second idea (if the first one is not possible or if you guy's convins me that my idea is stupide) would be to have one MAC Mini server in one location setup with an external hard drive in RAID 01. my partner will need to connect to this server through VPN. This solution seems to be a good option but my partner will need to copy the file in local to work on it (few Gb eatch file) and copy it back on the server when he finish to work on it.
With this solution I will also need to organise manual backup through another hard drive to avoid to have all our data in the same location.
Witch one of those solution seems the best and can work with MAC mini server? If you have another idea for my situation I m more then happy to read it.
Knowing that other user may need to access to my file, is the MAC Mini server VPN connection safe and fast?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Chris.

The fact that you are both working on multi-gigabyte
files, the statement BDAqua made about network speed
is a big issue. Small incremental changes in a single
multi-gigabyte file still require that entire file to be transferred.
There in lies the big issue with network speeds.
Basically, it seems idea 1 will probably not work well and
besides, RAID is for local drives and not for over networks.
One solution to the synchronization issue is have a single
computer that has the application and the data and log into
it and work remotely. However, it sounds like these are image
files and working and any kind of graphics over a remote
connection is problematic unless there is a very high speed
network connection.
Second idea is the simple solution. As for the backup, that
can be automated with backup software and the backup could be
put any where.

Can 2 people in different locations at the same time import, access, send, and receive the same messages from the same email account

I import messages into Thunderbird. I send and receive emails. One of the things I like about Thunderbird is that I can insert (image, link, etc) right where I want to, and I can Attach. But not just a simple attach file. No, I can also click Attach and choose Webpage. A lot of web-based emails are plain, simple, no frills - Attach file and that's it.
So I need to have my client be able to do the same thing I do when sending out emails, Namely sending out emails with an Electronic Press Kit (EPK) attached - which is to say, a webpage (not a pdf in our case). So, I need her to download, install, and use Thunderbird.
Here's the problem and my question. She needs to access, send, and receive from my email account. That would be easy if it was simple attach files - she could just login on the web, go to squirrel mail and bang it out.. Here it is: She needs to be able to import the messages to be able to reply to some messages - she needs access to what I have access to. She needs to use Thunderbird so she can take advantage of the features like insert image with link or attaching a webpage. My question is how will this affect my use? Can 2 people simultaneously and from different locations access and use the same email account or is it a case where her importing the emails would cut me off..Is it an either or thing? Basically, can her and I both import the emails or can they only be imported to one location at a time. Because every time someone sends me an email i get it right there on my Thunderbird application..it's imported to my Thunderbird..I want her and I to be able to do that without affecting each other. I don't want her to start importing to her desktop and then I can no longer import. If she says "point those messages to my computer what will happen to my ability to access them on my computer in the same manner I am currently?

I think there is a contradiction in your requirements. You want two people to share an account and you don't want either to interfere with the other.
The short and simple answer is to use IMAP to connect to the mail server. If your current email provider doesn't offer IMAP, find another that does. This is old technology already and it's disgraceful that some email providers haven't yet put it in place.
IMAP means that your messages are stored on the server and both of you will see exactly the same set of messages. And therein lies the contradiction; you will both see changes made by the other so you are inherently interfering with one another.
Caveats: some providers may not permit you both to access the account concurrently, and even if they do, things may become interesting if you both choose to work on the same message simultaneously.
Note that all of this is about email servers and protocols; your choice of Thunderbird as your email client has little bearing on the situation.

What is the best way to work on the same InDesign file in different locations?

I'm the creative director for an in-house creative department. We produce 37 catalogs and a multitude of print and electronic advertising each year, plus a variety of other items. Our problem is that we have two locations. In the current set-up, if I want someone at one location to work on a project but the files are at the other location, I have someone at the one location package all the materials involved with that project and either upload them to DropBox or copy them to an external drive and ship it. Not very efficient.
We have servers at both locations but there are different files at each location. I'm able to remote from my computer into a computer at the other location, but if everyone were to do that we would need double the number of CC subscriptions and computers, and it would bog down the internet connection that the entire company uses. I'm also connected to the server at the other location (again, over the internet) and have opened InDesign files that reside on the server there and tried to work on them here (over the internet) but that is much slower than remoting in.
The only way I can think of to alleviate this problem is to run duplicate servers at each location, but this would be an update and back-up nightmare (unless I'm missing something). Is anyone operating this same way and, if so, how are you dealing with it?
We can't be the only company that works like this. Maybe I'm just missing something.
Thanks,
Lloyd

One tiny thing bothers me about your setup. And you said it above, you would need double the number of CC subscriptions and computers. Are you using two people to access under the same CC subscription. Even if they are working in two different time zones, it is technically violating the rules and spirit of the rules of being able to install on two machines at the same time.
You're allowed to install for two machines for one person working at the office and then at home. One person wouldn't be in two different locations at the same time.
Meanwhile, regards your problem, I remember reading about a system many years ago that was pretty simple. It was based on an old newspaper/magaizine system of "who has the folder." (Created before computers) In the old days, if someone was working on a file, they left a folder with their name in its place.
In the computer age, one person, working on a file, would move it to their desktop. Then, they would leave an empty folder with that document's name where it had been as well as their initials. So if I took "Shoes and Socks Fall 2015.indd" out, I would leave a folder named "Shoes and Socks Fall 2015_smsc" in its place.
And if it was necessary for me to have the images, I would make a copy of them onto my machine so I wouldn't tax the network. Then when I was finished, I would copy the file back to the server. The links should show up. If not, we could relink later.
With the empty folder on the server, anyone could tell who is working on a project. So if they were late getting it back, you could email them.
It relies on the people being disciplined enough to make the folders, move the docs, etc. But since you've ruled out all the systems for companies with dumb employees, you're going to have to make them follow the rules.
