Setting Locations for IMovie 08 Files

This seems rather basic. But, where do all these movies files get stored? If we are have a record of all movies, the movies will not normally fit on a single hard drive. i do not see anything in the preferences that allows me to set the movie location. Also, most movies will need to be stored on DVDs for the long term. Am I missing something?

View > By Volume
on the menu will show where all your movies are stored. I think you can then drag and drop movies from one volume to another (I haven't tried it yet).
If you use finder to move a movie, it seems to have to redo the thumbnails (which takes hours for hours of footage).

I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder.

I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file. If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

Changing Location for Assignment Files

I create lots of InCopy assignments from InDesign. (Using CC for both) For each New Assignment I have to change all the options: "Location for Assignment File", "All Spreads", "Link Image Files when Packaging". Is there a way to set the defaults for these? I waste a lot of time and often make mistakes doing this manually for each new assignment I create.
Thank you.

Thanks,
I figured that out minutes after I posted on this forum.

How can i stop an error message that comes up when i am using word? the error message is "word is unable to save the Autorecover file in the location specified. Make sure that you have specified a valid location for Autoreover files in Preferences,-

It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.

I cannot update or install updates on itunes. It says that the location for that file does not exist. I cant even uninstall itunes as the same error message comes up.

I need help every time my iTunes library updates i get this error messege: The iTunes.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. but the file should be there.

Every time I have to upgrade iTunes it gives me this messege:'The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.' the file should be there but I don't understand why it does this every time Apple upgrades the Itunes library. Its on the computer somewhere but it only affects this login on my computer (meaning on this Windows Account). Why does my iTunes do this? Then I have to spend hours placing all my libraries back together and all my music back into the library. Which usually takes me a few days to sort all out. What is wrong with my iTunes? The iTunes folder is a folder in my Music folder where I store the iTunes music/files/libraries at on my computer so I can have all of the iTunes files in one place on my computer.

I have a Windows 7 operating system my computer runs from.

itunes library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder, I keep getting this message everytime I try to install Itunes after having to remove windows 8.1 and go back to windows 8. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it keeps telling me the same thing. What do I do?

The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. PLEASE HELP!!!

I have been trying for over 2 weeks now trying to get my iTunes to open up so I can use my iTunes but I have not had any luck since I up graded to the new itunes. I have tried uninstalling (all apple programs) and reinstalling and nothing seems to work. Everytime I try to open my iTunes I receive the following message - The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Please help as I'm getting very frustrated and want to throw every apple device in the trash!!!
FYI: I thought about getting the iPhone but since I"m not having very good luck getting assistance with my iPod/iTunes I think I will rethink my decision.

Found the solution.

Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
Operating System
Default location of iTunes library
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
... and open the iTunes library you find in there.

I keep getting the following message The iTunes library cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the iTunes folder in the music folder.

LSO 600 Configuration - Central Storage Location for XSLT Files

Hi,
We are implementing LSO 600 with enhancement pack 2 and I am haiving trouble figuring out what do do with the configuration steps
Enter Address of Central Storage Location for XSLT Files
and
Enter Address of Central Storage Location for Templates.
The config notes indicate that these can be a directory or network path with the format
servername\filename\.
As I understand it this is is the address of the file on the Portal Server where XSLT files and templates be stored. The problem that I am hearing from the basis team is (I am qouting an email from them) "who accesses the share? Is it the server, the client PC or both? Were running in a linux environment so I dont have any shares the PC can access."
Does anybody have any input?
Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy!
I am happy that the issue is already clear!
Beeing busy makes life more interesting )
May I ask for your private mail, because I had some questions regarding your LSO implementation.
