Using software instruments that are stored on an external drive.

I recently bought Logic 9. Doing a custom install, I stored the instrument library on an external disk thinking it would be easy to use the instruments at a later time. Now, however, when I create a software instrument track, I only see the basic exs instruments. I can't find any further help on how to use my full library of instruments stored on my external drive. This must be simple, but I can't figure out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Logic looks at the Garageband library for these.
You'll need to go in there and create an alias to where you've put your content, otherwise they won't show up in the Garageband instruments section.

  • My Mac crashed. I got a new hard drive. I reinstalled Lightroom. Fortunately ircats are stored on an external drive. How do I import all of the old catalogues from external drive into a new LR catalogue. I have done it before. It has just been many years

    My Mac crashed. I got a new hard drive. I reinstalled Lightroom. Fortunately ircats are stored on an external drive. How do I import all of the old catalogues from external drive into a new LR catalogue. I have done it before. It has just been many years and I can't recall how.

    If you had stored your catalog files on an external drive, then all you have to do is double-click on them to open them and use them.
    Or you could move them to the internal drive and double-click on them once the move is completed.
    To create a single catalog file from multiple ones, you could use File->Import from Another Catalog

  • Is it easier to restore to SL from ML if my TM backups are stored on an external drive? Not sure if these backups are bootable

    I just installed ML and realized that some of my 3rd party software is not supported. I have been saving my TM backups on an external drive and was wondering if it is easier to restore to SL since TM backups on external drive. I am not very savvy with MAc OS and need help. I am also not sure how to know if I have a bootable backup of SL within TM backup.

    See Pondini's TM FAQs, for starters.

  • I have recently bought a new netbook. all my itunes songs are stored on an external drive, however when i downloaded itunes again for the new netbook, they no longer showed in itunes. how can i get my song and podcast library over to the new netbook?

    can anyone help with this please? i feel its wrong to have to pay Apple £25 for something that should be more obvious and easier to do.

    Go into the iTunes preferences and turn off the options that have you Copy Music To My Library.
    Then, add the top folder which contains your music to iTunes - it will create links to your remote folder rather than copy all music to your netbook.
    ** Edit
    You can set the location of your music here too.

  • I am using an Macbook pro in conjunction with a Time Capsule. I back up all my aperture librarys on it, but how can i view these images that are stored on the capsule please ??

    I am using an Macbook pro in conjunction with a Time Capsule. I back up all my aperture librarys on it, but how can i view these images that are stored on the capsule please ??

    If you want to see what is in a file that is backed up by time machine then you have to restore the entire file. Having said that I have had good experience with Time Machine and individual files... if the file is there then all of it's components are almost for sure there. A way to get around this in Aperture would be to use referenced images. The images then still exist as individual files and can be backed up and restored individually. You would have to do so on a file by file basis though and your album information would still only be saved within the Aperture library.

  • Check if in Word document (Word 2013) advanced option "Use fonts that are stored on the printer" is set

    Is it possible in a VBA macro to check whether an opened word document has the advanced option "Use fonts that are stored on the Printer" is set.
    I have a word macro that opens and processes thousands of word documents.  The processing needs to be different based on whether this option is set or not.
    Thanks,

    Hi Harry,
    I'm afraid that we're not able to retrieve this option value. The Advanced Options are actually stored as application level. Some of the options can be accessed with the Word.Application.Options property. But there're also many options that are not
    exposed in the Word Object Model. As you can see in this figure, there's no property corresponding to "Use fonts that are stored on the printer":

  • How do I change my apple Id with out loosing my files that are stored on my mac

    I would like to change my apple Id.  When I tried to log out of iCloud the program warned me that all files that are stored on the cloud will be deleted from my mac.  I would just like everything to remain untouched and begin using a different apple ID

    Hi Alan,
    If you wish to use different Apple IDs for different Apple services on your Mac, you should follow the steps in this article -

  • How do I back up documents that are stored in iCloud to my own hard drive?

    The trouble is, however I search for an answer to this question, I get instructions on how to back up stuff TO iCloud.
    I want to back up stuff that applications like Pages and Numbers are already storing IN iCloud.
    See, I don't want to have to trust iCloud to safely store my documents.  Not unless there are copies somewhere that I can fall back on if (it's really only a matter of when) something goes fatally haywire in iCloud.
    It's easy enough to do with a service like, say, Dropbox, which treats my "cloud-stored" files like they are in a folder on my hard-drive.  So when I run either a local (Time Machine/Capsule) or a cloud (Crashplan, in my case) backup, those files get backed up.  So I have at least three copies of those files - in Dropbox, on my Time Capsule, and on Crashplan's servers.
    So how do I do that with docs that are stored in iCloud?  Apple wants me to store stuff in iCloud - if I have iCloud enabled and want to save a doc to another destination, there are multiple steps I want to go through.  And I'm fine with using iCloud if I'm creating documents that I want to be able to access from my iOS devices as well.
    Yes, I can do that with Dropbox, but it's less seamless than doing it through iCloud.
    But I want my own backups of those files, and near as I can tell, Apple makes that nearly impossible because iCloud does not show up anywhere as a folder that I can access or sort.
    Or does it?  Am I missing something?
    If so, let me know.... if not... is there a solution to this dilemma, or is it just one more aspect of iCloud that Apple has not clearly thought through?
    Thanks,
    --PS

    Right.  You didn't read the post, you only read the title.
    The title came from an earlier step in the process when I was posing a question to the systen.
    The pertinent part of the question is "How to I back up documents that are stored in iCloud" 
    That the destination for the backup is NOT my internal HDD should be clear from the rest of the post.
    And frankly, even if that is where I want to back up to, that would at least give me two copies, at least giving me one duplicate of the stuff on iCloud.
    So please stop wasting my time if you can't answer the actual question: How do I backup content that is stored in iCloud.  The destination of the backup is irrelevant.

  • Do IMAQ Cast Image or IMAQ Linear averages give different results when using different computers that are running under Windows XP ?

    Hello
    I'm currently developping an image processing algorithm using Labview 7.1 and the associated IMAQ Vision tools. After several tests, I found a weird result. Indeed, I put the labview algorithm - including the IMAQ VI on the library to get sure that I use all the time the same VI - on my memory stick and used it on two different computers. I tested the same picture (still in my memory stick) and had two very different results.
    After several hours trying to understand why, I found that there were a difference between the results given by both computers at the very begining of the algorithm. Indeed, I used a JPEG file.
    To open it, I first create an Image with IMAQ Create (U8). Then, I open it.
    Then in my first sub-VI, I use IMAQ Cast Image to be sure that the picture is a U8 grayscale picture.
    Right after that, I use the IMAQ Linear Averages. The results of this VI are different on the two computers.
    I tried several time on the same picture : one computer always give me the same result but the two computers give me a different result. So there is no random variable on the results.
    So my question is : Do IMAQ Cast Image or IMAQ Linear averages give different results when using different computers that are running under Windows XP ?
    My bet is on IMAQ Cast Image but I'm not quite sure and I do not undestand why. The labview and IMAQ are the same on both computers.
    The difference between the two computer are above :
    Computer 1 :
    Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz with a RAM of 1Go. The processor is an Intel(R).
    The OS is windows XP Pro 2002
    Computer 2 :
    Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz with a RAM of 512Mo. The processor is an Intel(R).
    The OS is windows XP Pro 2002.
    If anybody can help me on this problem, it would be really helpful.
    Regards
    Florence P.

    Hi,
    Indeed it's a strange behaviour, could you send me your VI and your JPEG file, (or another file that reproduces) so that I could check this inthere ?
    I'll then try to find out what's happening.

  • Is GIST available for documents that are stored in Beehive

    Customer is asking the following
    “We are using Beehive and Oracle Portal 11G with the Database 11G, all tied in via SSO/OID. Is GIST available for documents that are stored in Beehive?”
    I asked the customer for more information on GIST and he responded with the following.
    “GIST when used in Portal Builder gives a summary of the document, say in the case of a PDF it will give the first para, we have used it heavily in OCS and want to use it in beehive.”
    Digging a little deeper we found the following,
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/text.112/e24435/view.htm#CCAPP9206
    “5.2.2 Gist and Theme Summary
    A gist is the text of a document that best represents what the document is about as a whole. A theme summary is the text of a document that best represents a single theme in the document.”
    Seems to be a text feature.
    Is this a feature that would be available with Oracle Beehive?

  • HT204053 I have just bought a new iPad but I can't see how I can sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on the iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    I have just bought the new iPad but can't see how I would sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on).  But getting the photos back from a backup is risky.  Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned.  icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album).  You can then sync the photos to the iPad.

  • How do I find my photos that are stored in iphoto on my mac?

    How do I find my photos that are stored in iphoto on my mac?  I don't want to access them through iphoto, I want to access them individually.  I have always done it previously through searching for the img number.  But it no longer works!

    That's half-correct. Direct access is supported.
    Find the photo in iPhoto, then go to the "File" menu and click "Reveal in Finder" - it takes you directly to the image file. Or right-click on the photo, and choose "Edit in External Editor" which opens the original file in other software, like Photoshop, if you have it.
    And it's dangerous to move, rename or delete the original file or folders after you found it, but safe to do other things.

    Well, everything that you have bought with her Apple ID prior to getting your own Apple ID is forever hers. Apple will not transfer content from one ID to another. But in the case of the Mac, contact iTunes Customer Service and request that they send your issue to the Account Security Team and ask that the Mac be released form your mother's account so you may register it with your account. Then you can accept the iLife apps into your account for any future updates.
