You can save the projects that you are currently editing on an external hard drive?

I went travelling this summer and want to make a video of all my photos / videos. As you can imagine there are many of them and they are on different cards memory. So I bought a disc external hard samsung which is comparable with Mac to store all my content. The first batch of files that I imported from my hard drive to iMovie went on well, but then I tried to import some more and I do not have enough memory space on my Macbook Air.

Is there anyway you can get iMovie to use my external hard drive to save projects as default? So instead of import content and she being temporarily stored on my macbook while editing, it would save on my hard drive?

I am very new and relatively new to mac for iMovie so I apologize if this doesn't make much sense.

Yes you can.  For a long time I used iMovie 11 but transfer events to and external drive is covered in the help files to: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c

and the transfer of projects to: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#move7d66613

Note that the disk should be in Mac format.  If you are not sure, check using disk utility.

    Your daughter have a Mac and use Photos? If so just copy your library of Photos to SMT, it must be formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with the defined property is ignored. Then she can use the SMT library or copy it on his Mac.

    If she doesn't have a Mac do the following:

    1 - Create a new folder on the external drive.

    2 - Select all photos in the library (in the window of Photos).

    3. Select the file ➙ ➙ export export Original unmodified for XXXXX items menu option.

    4. in the format of subfolder select Export window = name of the time

    5. in the next window, select the folder that you created on the external drive as the destination of export and export all your photos to this. Photos at every moment in your photo library will be put in a folder with the date of that moment and this issue will be put on the EHD in the folder that you created.

    Thanks for the son. HP do not have an update of the firmware.

    Hello

    ·        Have you tried the same files and backup folder in one different location (another drive or media)?

    You can check if there are errors listed in Event Viewer related to backup is not made. To open Event Viewer, follow the link below.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/open-Event-Viewer

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

    You can also try to disable the security software and then try to run the backup utility and check if that helps.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • How do you store your photos on an external hard drive?

    Revel recommends storing your files on the computer 1. None of my friends have sufficient storage capacity. The fact only my external hard drive. How can I move where Revel is to store Photos on a Mac to an external drive? I am a teacher with many different students to the storage aid and my Mac crashes because of this problem. When I bought the award-winning teacher and student of Revel version is unlimited storage capacity. But when I installed and he wanted to have 1 computer to store files on I am now in storage issues on my internal HD HELP!

    We do not have the possibility to designate a different location to store photos on the Mac. Has been suggested and we are looking for in a future version that we realize that many of the recent macs have only flash memory and it is limited. If you're runnign out of space, you can disable save originals and use an external hard drive to back up photos from your computer and other devices manually for now. I currently have a better solution for you.

    I'm not aware of any version techer or student of revel, just a free version and a version of subscription.

  • How can I move music and photos from my MacBook on an external hard drive, files without deleting the existing NTFS files stored on it?

    Hello.

    I am aware that this issue (or different versions of it) will be requested a thousand times before, but after searching on the internet for a solution, I have been unable to find all the information that brings a simple clear answer that is specific to my problem and so thought I would ask the question myself.

    I recently bought a Toshiba 1 TB external hard drive to transfer music, photo files and internal document in front of the memory of my old PC running Windows, as well as files, music and photos from my existing MacBook Pro, so I can "release" the memory on the latter.

    Transfer files from the old PC proved to be easy; success achieved by simple drag / drop the files to the appropriate location on the external HD icon of Toshiba which appears once I connected to a USB port. It is perhaps worth mentioning that the area of States hard drive has been formatted NTFS for Windows, and so I guess that I would not have expected any problems when transferred to a PC.

    Move the files from my MacBook has however proved anything but simple and trying to drag the respective music and photo files and drop them on the HD Toshiba icon (which appears on my desktop once it is plugged), I seem to be affected by the same issues as so much seems to have it before me, in that "forbidden access" / error symbol appears with the cursor , and bounce the files to their original location whenever I try to place them on the Toshiba HD.

    I understand that this is due to the HD is formatted in NTFS, and that I would need to reformat the hard drive to move files from my MacBook, which brings me to my questions:-

    (a) how do I do this, and

    (b) can I do this without losing, damage or remove the NTFS files from my old PC, which are already stored on the external hard drive.

    If one is able to offer any assistance, in the most simple, easy to follow the description, I would be really grateful!

    Never been so thanks in advance!

    1 install software such as Paragon NTFS on the Mac and let the reader in its current form or from the Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open disk utility and reformat.

    2. that by putting a copy on another drive. You should do this anyway, in case of failure of this drive.

    Hi JackieFerrs

    It is possible that the virus has every firmware corrupted on that either its MBR (Master Boot Record). Unfortunately, the other means that your data is probably lost. But... before you'll start to panic please see below what you can do.

    Please visit this link: 'Western Digital My Book Home Edition 1TB_downloads' and...

    1. use the backup utility to backup your data if you have not done.

    2 use the software update on hard drive firmware update.

    3. use the software (all) link to download software for your Windows PC.

    4. download and install Drive Manager (if you wish).

    5. If still no luck on the connection that enables the link diagnostic tool to scan your drive for some questions.

    I hope this helps.

    All the best.

  • What is the best way to one-way synchronization to an external hard drive?

    Transfer a large number of files and I want to copy on a hard drive backup periodically (manually) without deleting anything on that hard drive. The problem with just drag / drop is that Windows allows you to copy existing files, just take the useless time (I'll be okay have copy if files changed). Windows XP has a built-in feature smarter somewhere? SyncToy has tried, but it is too buggy. Is there a better tool that I can use? Maybe I should write my own in C++.

    Let me give you a few more options.

    I use Beyond Compare. It's absolutely fabulous. They offer a 30 day free trial and you can install it as a mobile installation. Use the file sync feature.
    Scooter Software: Home of Beyond Compare

    Some free...
    Create synchronicity
