Whats the best way to save large folders/files on multiple dvds?

hi,
A quick question about the best way to save to dvd(4.7gb disc) a large number of folders/files.I've got about 30-40gb of stuff to save from mp3 sample files through to logic audio files.I already have them saved to another HD but i just want to be extra safe and have another back up.In the past i've just saved it disc by disc creating each folder as i go dragging the appropriate folder across.I was just wondering whether there was an easier way than this.May be an application where i can drag all the files and it will sort and save everything for me much like the way itunes now saves/backups files.
thanks

Hi darrenz,
if you have Toast you can save your stuff using Toast. There's a great option within Toast. You need to select the Data tab and choose "Mac only". Then just drag all the stuff you want to burn to the Toast window and it will automatically ask for another DVD until everything is burnt. After that all your DVDs will have a Toast Restore app on them. It lets you select what you want to restore and will tell you which DVDs to insert. Here's a screenshot I found by googling: http://www.macworld.com/images/content/2005/08/19/toast7restore.jpg
Have fun!

What is the best way to save an ai file so it can be opened in corel draw

I have an ai file that needs to be opened in corel draw by a client. It needs to remain editable all paths and colors ect.
Whats the best way to save it so it can be.
yes I know corel is not as good as Illustrator but its what they have.

Moving files back and forth between Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW is tricky. There's quite a bit more to it than knowing what version of CorelDRAW the client is using. If the artwork is fairly simple then there shouldn't be any problem with transferring the artwork into CorelDRAW. If the artwork has gradients, transparency effects, a lot of clipping masks, etc. then it's going to be a lot more dicey getting it to import into CorelDRAW properly. In addition to the .AI file you provide, you should give the client a PDF they can view in Adobe Reader or Acrobat so they can proof how the artwork is really supposed to look.
I use Adobe Illustrator CC and CorelDRAW X6 in my work. I've used both applications for over 20 years. I don't consider either application better than the other. They both have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. I'll do a good bit of creative work within CorelDRAW to use certain features Illustrator either lacks or just doesn't do as well. Or I may need to design a really big project at full scale and Corel has a much bigger art board than Illustrator. Most of the time I move a lot of the stuff I created in CorelDRAW over to Illustrator for further refinement or moving it into Photoshop as paths or smart objects or just getting it ready to print (I don't like Corel's color engine even though it has improved in recent years).
Like others have said, you need to know the basics of what the user has -mainly which version of CorelDRAW. The newer versions like the one I'm using can open Illustrator CS5 files. For older versions, you may have to save down to CS2 or even really old versions like Illustrator 8.
CorelDRAW will not support certain Illustrator-dependent effects. For instance, if you apply a gradient to an object outline it will be lost when opened in CorelDRAW. A lot of other effects won't be maintained when opened in Corel unless they are flattened/expanded. Some effects may even have to be rasterized, and that can create other issues. Out of effects that are maintained, some may have to be adjusted. CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator handle things like gradient fills differently and don't understand how to portray gradients from their rival application accurately. Some nice fill that was created in CorelDRAW may have to be tweaked or completely rebuilt when opened in Illustrator.
I get a lot of customer files in CorelDRAW and also a lot in Illustrator. That reason alone makes it necessary for me to have both CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator running on my computer.

What the best ways to save web pages on the cloud ? Using an iPhone ?

Dear folks
I read a lot of web pages on iPhone that I need to refer to / come back to later
I have limited space on my iPhone and do not want to clutter the phone saving all these pages
What are the best options to
a) save these web pages on the cloud ?
B) Or mail them to myself ( again store on some specific gmail or so account ? )
Or
C) It would also be great to convert them to PDF and mail them to myself or save them on box dot net or Dropbox
Or
d) save them initially on the phone but , eventually move them in batches to my hard drive thru backups
What is the best option ? And What are the best ways to do this
Free apps / solutions preferred
If not so paid ones are okay
TIA
Regards
Subu

Import photos to your computer, then delete the copies that reside on the phone. Also remove apps you no longer use.

HELP. Whats the best way to save an Illus CS6 as a jpeg to be emailed

HELP. I've tried saving to web and exporting my file out of Illus CS6 as a jpeg to be emailed.
I then attached the file to mail and send it. But then cannot download the file! I even send it as windows friendly. I'm not sure what else to do or why the jpeg files are embedding in the email instead of as an attachment.
Can anyone advise.
Thanks

It's different because whomever you are sending email to doesn't understand their email application. Not everyone with access to a computer is savvy enough to understand some of the basics.
If the images are inline on their end, all then need do is save those inline images the same way they would an attachment.
On the Mac, you can zip any file by Control-Clicking and and choosing "Compress [filename]"

Whats the best way to check weather a file exists online, or not?

Hi!
I need to show an Image File in my app which may have different sizes. _1.jpg, _2.jpg and so on.. If, for example, _2.jpg does not exist, I have to take _1.jpg.
So my question is: is there a better way instead of making/allocating a pic and asking pic != nil ?
thx!
alex

Hi Alex -
The subject line says "file exists online, or not?". Are you trying to check existence at a network site, or the local file system? I'll cover the local fs first, since that's the easiest. If you need to search a remote site, I think we'll need some more details.
Assuming an iPhone project (not specified, but your usual topic), NSFileManager will probably be all you need unless the files are localized and/or in the application bundle, in which case you'll want NSBundle. For example, say you're storing all the jpg's in the user's cache directory:
#define MAXFN 5
// return nil or the path to the file with the highest numeric suffix
- (NSString)getPathForBestFile:(NSString)baseName extension:(NSString*)ext {
NSString *bestFilePath = nil;
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
// locate the user's cache directory
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(
NSCachesDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *cacheDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(@"cacheDirectory=%@", cacheDirectory);
// loop through file names with numeric suffixes
for (int i = 1; i <= MAXFN; i++) { />/
NSString *fileName =
[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@_%d.%@", baseName, i, ext];
NSString *filePath =
[cacheDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent: fileName];
NSLog(@" filePath=%@", filePath);
if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:filePath])
bestFilePath = filePath;
return bestFilePath;
If you need to use NSBundle, see pathForResource:ofType:. If you need to determine the existence of a file at a network site, please give us some details about the kind of server and how much you'll know about the possible file locations.
Hope that helps!

Best way to copy large folders to external drive?

What is the best way to transfer large folders across to external drives?
I'm trying to clean up my internal hard drive and want to copy a folder (including its sub folders) of approx 10GB of video files to an external firewire drive.
I've tried drag and drop in finder (both copy and move) and it gets stuck on a particular file and then aborts the whole process.
1. Surely it should copy everything it can, and simply not copy the problem file.
2. Is there a way I can do copy and verify, a bit like when I burn a disk so I can be sure the video files have transferred safely before I delete them from my internal drive?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.

What you are trying to do makes perfect sense to me and I have done the same prior to getting myself a Time Machine system in place.
1. Surely it should copy everything it can, and simply not copy the problem file.
The fact that it is getting stuck on a particular file suggests that there is a problem with it. Try to identify which one it is and deal with that file on it's own. It could be that there is a disk error where that file is stored.
2. Is there a way I can do copy and verify....
The copy process you are using does that implicitly as I understand it.

The best Way To Save Your Work in Logic Express

Im confussed.. i normally do a regular save in Logic Express. But i see other options like Save Project and im wondering whats the difference and whats the best way to save.

Hi Smith,
no fear mate,
Save as a project means that all the files used in the section
will be saved to a folder (audio, midi, plug-ins, automation, presets, samples etc.)
Reference PDF Page 53 - "Saving as Project You can use the File > Save as Project function to save a song or project. If the open song isn’t already a project, the saved song file is assigned “project” status. This allows you to set the Project settings (File > Project > Settings) which determine how imported files are handled. This also makes the project “safe”, allowing you to move or copy the project folder without losing any file references that point to items within the folder. In the Save As Project dialog you can choose, if the project files should be copied or moved into the project folder. "
Cheers,
Jorge

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

What is the Best way to move large mailboxes between datacenters?

What is the Best way to move large mailboxes between datacenters?

Hi,
Are you asking with regards to on-premises Exchange? With Microsoft Online SaaS services (aka Exchange Online) there is no control and no need to control which data center a mailbox resides in.
With regard to on-premises Exchange, you have two choices: you can move it over the WAN in which case you would either do a native mailbox move (assuming you have Exchange 2010 or later you can suspend the move after the copy so you can control the
time of the cutover) or create a database copy in the second data center and once the database copies have synchronized change the active copy.
The other choice is to move is out of band which would usually involve an offline seed of the database (you could conceivably move via PST file but that would disrupt access to the mailbox and is not really the 'best way').
In general, Exchange on-premises questions are best asked on the Exchange forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?category=exchangeserver

What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF?

What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF? My goal is to have a relatively small final .pdf file size that includes numerous pages with full 8.5 x 11 images as backgrounds in the document. If I save at 8.5 x 11 and 72dpi (example), the image is not 8.5 x 11, and the quality is not good enough. I need help with size, dpi, and file format to save as before I place it in InDesign and then save as a .pdf.
Thanks,
Jim

Do exactly what I said then. Create the InDesign document of the required dimension, and chose whether it will be high quality print, or Interactive PDF. It really doesn't mater what format you bring the image into that document. It can be JPG, PNG, but I usually use native Photoshop PSD. The image does have to be of high enough resolution, but it can be many times bigger than iis required for the final export. (InDesign does not import the image, but rather references it on your hard drive.)
When you have placed your text and finished your page, then export it to PDF, but go through the tabs chosing suitable settings. If the image needs to be downsized, InDesign will do that at this stage while building the PDF.
If you can tell us how this presentation will be made (Projector, overhead projector, printed page etc. or just emailed to the end users) we can help you more with the final output settings.

What is the best way to save iMovie Events?

I would like to save iMovie Events for future use but the files are so big that I need to have several external hard drive. What is the best way to save these files? Burn to DVD discs?

1 TB of harddrive space actually <60€ .. drag'n drop files, done. instant access for future projects.
1 TB of DVD disk space (4.4GB x 230 pieces, each ~50¢) = ~115€ + hours of work .. hours of re-importing in future use ...
=> I prefer ext. HDD.. 1TB fits ~ 75h miniDV, or 40-60h HiDef imported (using the 'Archive' feature of iM09 much more) ..
