Want to move iPhoto data to other disk

I have iPhoto running and its data stored in ~/Pictures per normal. I want to MOVE the iPhoto pics dirs to another drive - how do I point to the new location? Also - I still want iPhoto to import files dragged to Library into the new drive's location.
Can this be done? How? Tnx.

I don't know if it's the same for iTunes, as I don't read that forum too often. You could wait for someone elso to respond here, or search the iTunes forum, or post new ? over there.
As for the iPhoto library, PhillyPhan and Old Toad are the experts. You can safely follow their advice.

Want to move iPhoto Library to other disk

I have iPhoto 2.0.1, and my mac is pretty old. The main HD is 10G, and I'm out of space. I have mounted an external HD with plenty of space, where I've already moved my iTunes library, and want to do the same with the iPhoto library. Can I do this with this version of iPhoto? I read on other threads that in version 4 (?) or higher I can open iPhoto holding the Option key, and choose a library, which will then become the default, but version 2 seems to not have that option. I'd rather not have to shell out $$ for iLife if I can avoid it, since I really only want iPhoto. Am I SOL?

I want to move the data from oracle 8.0.5 to oracle 10g

Dear Gurus i want to move my data exist in oracle 8.0.5 to oracle 10g, what is the simplest way to do that without loss of data and time.
thanx and regard

Since you are on 8.0.5, there is no direct path upgrade for you.
You need to first upgrade to 8.1.7.4.1 at least before you can directly migrate to 10gR2.
You can refer Metalink note 316889.1 for this purpose.
Another option would be to simply export the data from 8.0.5 version and import into 10g database.
Simply stated, there is no method which will not take time for this purpose but there would be no data loss (assuming you are not going to change the character set of the database).

Photos are stored in your home folder (~pictures).

Game data on other disk

Hello,
I have my base system installed on a great 24GB SSD and this is more than engough for most normal programs, however, it poses a problem for games with large data files.
Is there a way to install data files (like openarena-data, 0ad-data...) on my other disk?
I could only find instructions on how to install packages in a difrend root env. but that wont work offcourse.
Tanx,
Joran

It is perfectly well supported for some time:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … _partition
But it would require having almost the whole system on a slow disk, which is the opposite of what OP wants.
@jorants
You could move those directories to a different partition and then make symlinks in /usr/share/$game, although this would make Pacman angry.
Another solution: mount your other partition under /opt and modify games' PKGBUILDs so all the files are put there.
Yet another solution, although I'm not sure about this (but if I'm correct then it's the best one): on the slow partition create directories for each game, and then mount --bind them to /usr/share/$game.

Service Data on other disk

On Lopard Server and Snow Leopard Server you could place the diffrent service data (mail, ical adresbook) on a other disk than the main startupdisk. Where is this option in Lion Server ?

This option is added to 10.7.2.
Open the server app, under hardware click on the server > Settings, and there it is, Service Data.
Unfortunately after one time of moving the data with an error at the end the Edit button is now grayed out .
Anyone any tips?

Want to move iPhoto ORIGINALS not just Copy them to EHD

I see where many people want to back up their iPhoto library to an EHD but I literally want to relocate my original images off my internal hard drive and onto an EHD. I'm happy no longer using iPhoto so fine with my originals not being there anymore. Once they are moved I'll then determine if I want to import into LR and add to that catalog but for now the first step is I just want my originals off the computer. Should have done a back up when I imported but I didn't know better back then.
Can someone explain how to move the originals versus just drag and copy the library?
Thanks.

If you look closely the Originals is an alias file that points to the Originals folder.

Have Old Hard drive and want to move old data onto new hard drive in imac.

I am trying to get my files off of an old hard drive. I have it hooked up through a sata drive. I am able to access all the programs but for whatever reason I am unable to access any of the files, i.e- 1,00's of pictures, videos, music, and documents. Is there something else I need to do in order to get the files, or is it possible that all the programs could still be on it but the files are just missing? In the current Sata it only has two plugs but on my hard drive it looks like there is another place to plug something in.

Hello again Shadow,
The way I do this is to:
1) Install your new hard drive into your iBook
2) Get your iBook reassembeled
3) Place your old hard drive in your firewire enclosure
4) Insert your install DVD into your iBook and restart with the C key held down. When the installer launches, select your language in the first pane, click 'continue' and in the upper dropdown menu in the next page select Utilities > Disk Utility. After DU is open, select your hard drive from the list of volumes on the left (the very top one), and then click the 'Partition' tab to the right. Then select 1 partition (normal) and make sure that you have 'Mac OS Extended (journled)' selected in the lower section. Then click 'partition'
5)Quit disc utility, which brings you back to the installer. continue with your installation of OS X. In one of the first steps you will see a button on the lower left which says 'options' click on that and make sure that the option 'Installs OS X for the first time' is selected. It will normally be selected by default with a new drive.
6) After the installation, the Migration Assistant will ask if you would like to transfer your information from another mac. click yes then follow the instructions. but instead of using another mac, connect a firewire cable from your enclosure with your old hard drive installed. The installer will think that this is another mac and will transfer all of your account information and user files (everything!)from your old drive to your iBook's new drive. Just diconnect when it says to and complete the installation sequence.
You're done!
Check back again if anything is unclear.

Not too sure what your post heading is saying!!!

Moving a map into an other disk out of sight..

Hello, after using a map on my ssd I want to move it to an other disk.. just drag and drop you say... yes but that wanted disk is way down under and out of sight; and the window is not scrolling down when I "pull" on it.
So I can not reach the wanted disk.. what to do?
Thanks: Jos.

Well then, that's different! Thanks Frans
When you move the folder to somewhere else, and the list is too long, you have two options
If the list of folders is hierarchical, you can collapse some of the folders so that more folders appear
There is a spot at the bottom of the list where if you hold the mouse cursor there, the list will scroll downwards. (Same applied at the top of the list) I believe the spot is just below the last folder that shows (or just above the top folder that shows)

Where is "Save As"? (Want to move a project)

iMovie project files are HUGE. I accept that. I wanted to move my project from one disk to another. Somehow, last week, I imported my raw video to my Firewire drive, but the project files stayed in my Movies directory on my system drive.
How do I move my project to another drive?
I corrupted my project trying to hack it (moving the files and editing the location by hand).. my bad. I just didn't see an option to open a project, then save it whereever I want. Didn't the old iMovie have this option?
Love iMovie 08!

Exactly (..why they don't bundle projects, events, etc in one package that you're free to move around..).
I have my projects on a disk known as "/Volumes/LaCie Disk". I cannot move it -- I tried. There is no option in the File menu or Preferences. When you import a movie you can specify where the Event files go -- that's it -- FOREVER.
You can actually drag the event directories around, just not the .rcproject files (the files that have my painstaken editing data).
Looking in the .rcproject directory there are several files - some binary - some ascii with compressed data in XML format. In both cases you see "/Volumes/LaCie Disk" hard-coded into the file. I tried editing the "/Volumes/LaCie Disk" entry, but, alas it didn't work. If I want to edit my .rcproject a year from now I will have to do it at a location called "/Volumes/LaCie Disk".
Apple, please, please add a Save As option to iMovie 08 -- soon!

How do you move iPhoto to an external hard drive?

I want to move iPhoto and possibly iTunes to an external hard drive to free up space on my MacBook Pro. How do you do this?

Copy /Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library to your external drive. Delete the one on your internal drive. Now create an alias to the iPhoto Library's new location and put the alias in the original location. Be sure the alias is named "iPhoto Library".

I just bought a new Mac and I want to transfer some data (not all) from my old Mac. Basically, I want to move my itunes library, iphoto library, and a few documents. I have not even turned on my new Mac yet. Is the best way by an external hard drive?

If both have Firewire ports then you can accomplish your goal by using Target Disk Mode. If this is not possible then you can do using an external drive or if you have a local network connect both to your network and use filesharing between the two computers.

Using iPhoto, I want to move photo from one event to another I export it to desktop and then reimport. Titles and other info vanish; only the original jpg number comes thru. How do I avoid this?

Don't do that - flag the photo and go to the target event and use the add flagged photo to selected event command to move it intact within iPhoto
