Where is the Media folder?

I just started using iMovie HD. One of the aspects of earlier versions that I liked is the Media folder. I could extract audio and then copy it from that folder to use it in another application. Or I could do some work on one particular clip (e.g., with iStabilize) and then put it back in the folder. How can you do these types of things with the HD version? For starters, I would like to extract an audio clip and convert it to wav format.

a) ctrl-click, choose from content menu "show package"
b) I wouldn't do so... the file management is .. "fragile"; why not exporting a selected clip, as aiff in the Expert Settings, if audio only; or as QT/FullQuality.. ?

Where is the Media Folder in your ipod

Thanks for the help although it did lead to another question. You said download the song to my computer and then drag it to my ipod media folder. I've gone to my computer E drive (my ipods there) but I can't find a media folder in the directory.

Im sorry, what type of computer do you have?(operating system)

Where are the media files?

I can't believe I'm asking such a basic question but I can't find the answer! Where are the media clips stored in iMovie 6? In past versions, the media was kept in a folder titled "Media". I've searched my computer for clips I want to export to FCE but can't find them.
Thanks!

Ctrl-click (or right-click) the icon of the project file to get the contextual menu. Choose "Show Package Contents".

Only sequences, where are the media files?

I recieved a project that has only sequences in the browser, but in the seqences, the edited clips are there. Where are the media files? I'm used to having the media files in my browser with my sequences. Since I have sequences but no media files, I'm not sure where the media is that the clips (in the timeline)are pointing to. I know where my source files (QT) are. just not sure where the media files that represent that

If you are working from the same volume as the original projects, or at least a volume with the same name and folder structure then you are fine. If you want, you can select all the medial files in the sequences and drag them to the browser if it helps you to see what you have. Personally, I think if you are not changing any of those sequenced you're just as well to leave it as it is. Are you seeing video when you play those SD sequences? If yes then they are already pointing to the original media. FCP doesn't create its own media unless you render, and even then, it still uses the original in that process. So if you can see the video, you're all set. It's when you see those white clips in the timeline that you have to worry.

Why isn't all my downloaded music in the Media Folder(Windows 7 iTunes 11)

I recently purchased a new PC. When I installed iTunes back on my new PC, it pulled down all my music. I can go to any song and it will play with no problems. However, when I was needing to add some music to a project, I went to iTunes\iTunes Media\Music I only see a very few of my songs. Where are they? Do I have to pay for them again and download? I now wish that I had not installed the new version.
Thanks to anyone that has an answer

Had the media folder changed at some point?
You can use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to bring in copies of the files that are outside of the media folder having checked you've got the right folder selected. You'll need to manually clean up the originals.
Backup the library before you make changes, then update the backup once you're certain everything is as you want it. Refresh the backup regularly.

Can I--should I--combine the newer iTunes Media folder--new since 10.5.1--and the older iTunes Music folder? I just realized all my new songs are going into the Media folder, and I kind of like the simplicity of everything being in one, not two, folders.

Most of my music--the VAST majority--is in iTunes Music, but all the new songs are going into iTunes Media, which is new, I think, since 10.5.1.

The missing file thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
At guess you've used a different profile name. Files inside the media folder have survied the transfer, but those outside are expected to be on the same absolute file paths, but no longer are.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”
Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

Where is the extension folder for Adobe Bridge? (Mac)

I am trying to install the output module on Adobe Bridge. I am totally new to Creative Suite and photoshop. I can't find any information on bridge extensions at all. Here's the page I found on installing the output module- http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
I downloaded it but after that is says to copy it into the extension folder. Where is the extension folder? Is it is Bridge? Is it in Finder? Any information on extensions is much appreciated! What exactly are extensions? What is the difference between the extension folder and extension manager?
Thank you!

At first sight I can' see anything wrong about the correct locations you used.
There was no need to delete all workspaces but that also should do no harm I would think.
You once pointed at the bridge6.plist file but it is not clear to me what you did with it. Personally I would quit Bridge and delete this plist file manually and then restart with again holding down option and use reset preferences.
And you did also use the reset to standard workspaces instead of the reset workspace to only reset the selected workspace. I don't know for sure this will make a difference but it is worth a try.
And while you are in the user library to delete the plist file for Bridge also look in the folder caches in this library.
User / library/caches/adobe/Bridge CC and inhere find and delete both the plug in and cache folder, then restart Bridge.
Finally it might be also worth a try to download CS6, it should not be needed to do so but it was one of the earlier solutions that worked. In your ACC menu click on any app that shows blue and this brings you to the CC website. Choose download center and find PS. Click on the icon and this gives you the detailed download page. Inhere you can change CC to CS6.
Download PS6 it and install it (this also installs the CS6 version of Bridge which was not a separate download in CS6). Then try first start CS6 and start the AOM which is installed by default in this version.
Then when having used this once quit CS6 and try CC (or even combine with restarting your Mac).
Hope this helps, because I'm running out of options

I am running iTunes on an IBM comp system Win XP with a 70gb hard disk. I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder to an external hard disk. How do I get the apps to go their?

I am running iTunes on an IBM compatible system running Windows XP with a relatively small hard disk (70gb). I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches, multiple IPOD Nanos, etc. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder through Edit, Prferences, Advances, iTunes Media Folder to an external hard disk. The new music downloads and purchases go there but the apps and other items do not. How do I get the apps and other iTunes software and downloads to go to the external hard disk

There is no built in function to make this happen.
Your options are:
Upgrade the existing hard drive.
Try creating a link for the app folder on the external drive... this may or may not work.
Realistically, a larger hard drive is a better solution, then use the external drive for keeping a backup of the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any other personal data on the system.

Where did the "library" folder at the users level go?

When it's following the Windblows lead, there should also be an option to revert this, to be able to switch the hidden files back to visible. Haven't been able to find that option yet.
Furthermore, I despise your remark about users not being qualified. When I buy something I have all rights using any and all part of it. Whether that's a sensible choice for each and every user is a whole other question, but to treat all users as one dumb-*** group is not good (IMHO).

Where do the MEDIA FILES live after I import them from camera to iMovie (Mac Mini OS X 10.9.2)? I need to MOVE MEDIA FILES to external hard drive.

Where do the MEDIA FILES live after I import them from camera to iMovie (Mac Mini OS X 10.9.2)? I need to MOVE MEDIA FILES to external hard drive.

Hello bbryson68,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're wanting to move iMovie project and event data to another drive. I found the following information in the iMovie help that answers your question.
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or storage devices
Connect a storage device that contains the target library to your Mac, or copy the target library to your Mac.
Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries, locate an existing library on your Mac, or create a new library.The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Tip: To select multiple clips or projects in the same library, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
Do one of the following:
To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
Work with multiple libraries

Where is the LOGIC folder ???

Hi. I installed Logic 7 on my Dual 2.3 for the first time today . I have 2 hard drives , one just for audio , so the install went to my system drive. Under applications i can see the Logic Icon which opens the program. Where is the physical folder , i mean where r the EXS24 samples etc.
Sorry its my first week with OSX.....
I shall be upgrading to 7.1 soon , so i will need to delete all this before installing that wont i ??
Thanks
Faisal

Hey Faisal,
OSX, sorts all applications right down in the application folder. Asscociated folders and documents are sorted in a folder called Application Support.
So your "Logic folder" is located here: system drive/library/Aplication Support
You actually have another one here also: User(probably your name)/Library/Application Support
This one is for your own saved patches etc.
So the Factory Library to your Exs 24 are located in the first and your own will be located in the second, by default. You don't have to follow this though.
You will not have to delete anything to run the updater, actually, you really shouldn't!
ATB,
Erik
