Where are movies cached ?

I often go to sites that have video tutorials on Photoshop and would like to save the movies to review later. I find that on some sites I can save a QuickTime movie to the desktop by right clicking on the movie after it is completely loaded and then choosing save to desktop (I have QT Pro). I'm not able to do the same if the movies are in .WMV format or if they are Flash movies.
To be playing on my system in Safari the movies MUST have loaded into memory or disk SOMEPLACE as some sort of temporary file, but I have no idea where.
Can someone clue me in on where to look for these movies in the Finder?

Hi,
The simplest thing to do is probably use the Activity window (Window menu -> Activity). From there you can option+double click the items you're interested in to download them.
Hope that helps.

  • In iPhoto '11 where are movies located?

    In iPhoto '11 where are movies located?  When we download photos & movies, they aren't apparent in the "Lst 12 months" & "Library" areas.  They show up as spearate groupings in the "Last Import" but not in the History.  Thanks.

    Movies are stored in Events, like photos.

    Select a movie in Last Import and Right-Click on it. Choose 'Show Event' from the menu. This will bring you to the Event containing the movie.
    If the photo or movie is in Last Import, then it is in the Library somewhere,  just not where you expect it to be. Usual causes: the date on your camera is wrong, and so the date on the photo is wrong, or the sorting of the Events has changed (View Menu -> Sort Events)

  • Where are Movies located?

    I wish to clean up my Macbook pro. I deleted movie files in iTune library folder, which should sum up to 20 GB, but I am seeing 50 GB of movie. How can I find out where all movies are located?

  • HT4007 Where are the cache files or temporary files stored?

    I was rendering a slideshow of 253 pictures (approximately 4MB each) and I watched the available drive space on my MacBook Pro go from 23 GB available right down to zero.  The rendering did not finish and an error message came on the screen to let me know.  When I first clicked 'Export', I chose to save the finished slideshow to an external drive formatted for MacOS.  I also chose to save it as 1080p QuickTime .mov file.
    This is my first time using Aperture and am puzzled as to why it used up that much drive space in my MacBook Pro.  I thought that it was hanging on to some unfinished render files so I quit Aperture and restarted my MacBook Pro but now I only see that I regained about 2 GB out of my original 23GB.
    Is it correct for me to assume that there are cache files or temporary files still present somewhere?  If so, please tell me where so I can delete them and restore my available internal drive space on my MacBook Pro to 23 GB again.
    Why did it use up so much of my internal drive space when I actually told Aperture to save the finished slideshow file to an external drive?
    Please help.  Thanks.

    Aperture has two cache directories that uses regularly
    In your user library: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Aperture/
    At System Level: There are temporary file written to a hidden area, that you can open from the Terminal by referring the system varaiable $TMPDIR.
    Open a Terminal window and enter the following command:
             open $TMPDIR
    This will open a terminal Window showin this hidden cache. I found the partially rendered movies in a subfolder called something like "TemporaryItems"
    Why did it use up so much of my internal drive space when I actually told Aperture to save the finished slideshow file to an external drive?
    The final movie will be saved to the destination you named, but Aperture needs working space for partial renderings and as much RAM as it can get. The OS will swap other applications to a swapping area of the ystem drive to free RAM for Aperture.
    Another problem could be that the destination drive you want to write to temporarily went offline. Then aperture will write to $TMPDIR instead. Check the permissions on your external volume and the connection. Is it a Network volume? This is risky, of you need a stable connection for a long render time. In that case connect the external volume directly.

  • Where are movie controls, eg frame advance

    I'm n00b to iTS TV Programs.
    Is frame advance available?
    Thanks,
    b.

    No. iTunes Playback for movies is real rudamentary. If you want finer control - open the movie in QuickTime. Hope that helps.

  • Where are movies shared to Apple devices stored exactly? When I shut down FCPX the shared movie disappears from iTunes.

    FCPX v10.2
    Destination settings:
    Apple Devices 1080p
    Video Codec: H.264 Better Quality
    Resolution: 1920x1080
    Add to playlist: Library
    Many thanks for anyone who can help me before I completely lose my mind!

    "Just to be clear, when you use the show in Finder function in iTunes it takes you to the share folder inside the FCP bundle, is that correct?" - correct
    From my iTunes preferences the  /Users/(myusername)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Home Videos
    I added that subfolder to distinguish home videos from purchased movies.
    thanks for your help btw!

  • I downloaded a movie from itunes on my ipad.  In the downloaded area where the movie should be, I only get a link to "iItunes Terms and Conditions", no movie.  There is nowhere to accept the terms and conditions.

    Nevermind, the movie was there in the Videos app, not itunes downloads.  Thanks.

    They're in the iTunes folder, in iTunes Media or iTunes Music depending on when your iTunes was first installed. The iTunes folder by default is in My Documents/Music.

    They should be in the Videos app :
    If they aren't in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them ?

  • HT3209 Where are the movies I downloaded

    I purchased movies on iTunes but cannot find them to play back.  Where are they?

    Depending upon what country that you are in you may be able to re-download them on the iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (re-downloading isn't possible in all countries), If you can't then you will need to sync them over to the iPad - connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC), and then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync them to the iPad's Videos app
