The httpd folder lives in /etc , which is hidden by default.
To edit httpd.conf, you'll need to use either the command line

Hi,

I'm having the same problem. I'm running 10.3.8 on an eMac.

Following the previous posts in this thread and I have searched for a file

of them. 

Does this mean something is not installed as it should be??

If you don't have permission to read the files, you can't copy them.

Select the iPhoto pictures folder, do a Get Info in the Finder, then 
change the permissions, copying them to all the enclosed folders. You 
should then be able to drag them to the new drive.


You could do it in the Terminal using CpMac, but you could probably

Although you'll have to register in order to authenticate before

iPhoto libraries

[Severin Crisp]

I have been following Michael Schmidt's problems with interest as I 
have happily moved stuff around four external Firewire drives with no 
hassles.
In any case, I strongly recommend the use of the freeware iPhoto 
Library Manger which allows you to have multiple libraries, great when 
your collection gets large, and you can locate them anywhere at all, 
rather than in the Pictures folder only.

RE: Running out of disk space

[Michael Schmidt]

Hi!

Yes, I am only copying my own photos folder - nothing to do with iPhoto
because I've heard that the iPhoto files have to stay where they are.

I guess I'm stuck because I'm also finding it difficult to even move my
documents folder. I'm not touching anything to do with system files. All
I really want to move to the new drive is: pictures, movies, music, my
own documents and an extra folder I created simply called downloads.
I'll go home from work this afternoon and try out all the suggestions so
far. I'll have a look at see how the firewire drive has been formatted
and maybe start again. Isn't iTunes a mean when it comes to moving the
folder?! Took me two goes! All 18GB worth of songs!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Michael

I may be wrong but I thought only 'system' files and similar cause the 
need to use such utilities.

I believe Michael is merely talking about photos etc.
I did what he is attempting without issues.

Michael, there may be some special files inside the 'photos folder' you 
mention that are causing this glitch.

You could try a search on that folder for just your graphic files, try 
searching for .jpg .gif etc to isolate out just your media, then copy 
from that results list.
It will however leave behind any directory structure you currently have 
under that folder.
You can of course recreate those folders on the new drive once the 
pictures have been copied over.

I'm an iPhoto virgin, so I know 0 about it but I imagine it could export

those files or it's library to a nominated destination, any thoughts?

All files on the disk have privileges. It may be that some of them in

At worst you could burn a CD/DVD from iPhoto, change where iPhoto 
expects to find its library to be somewhere on the external drive, 
then re-import the photos into the new Library, but that would be 
excessive (although it would mean he'd have a backup of all the 
photos :)

Hmmm !

I thought files ( as in documents ) just copied when you dragged them

I suspect that Michael's new firewire drive is FAT / MS-DOS formatted, 
which has restrictions on file name characters and length.
I'd suggest reformatting with Disk Utility (in your 
/Applications/Utilities folder) as HFS+ and trying again.  If you can 
see the file in the finder, you _should_ be able to copy it wherever 
you like...

space...so I went out yesterday and bought myself an external/firewire
drive.

So last night there I was ready to transfer my music, photos, movies and
documents to the new drive. 

Maybe you could help me with this:

When I simply drag the photos (not iPhoto) folder to the new drive I
either get a message "Some files could not be copied. Do you want to
skip these and continue?" When I click Yes, files are transferred but
about half of them (approx. 800MB worth) haven't been copied across and
I can't work out which are on the new drive and which are still on the
original drive because the original folder on my existing hard drive
contains all of them. I've gone through the image files as best I can
and removed and / or & in the names of the files. Mind you, I would have
thought that if I can have names of files on my HD with such characters,
why wouldn't I be able to on the new firewire drive?

Another weird one is when I try to move my documents folder I get a
message saying "Could not copy "icon
" and the copying process stops (yes, there's a gap).

What else can I do to move these folders to my firewire drive? 

Thanks people!

Hello!

I have a 7 year old G4/500mHZ with a 25GB HD. The amount of space
available is shrinking fast with music and image files - I have about 
4G

left.

I was wondering what solutions would be available to me. I will 
purchase

a G5 (probably an iMac) later this year, probably when there's a new
model.




ATA hard drives are so inexpensive these days, why not just install an 
extra one inside your G4? It's very easy to do, will solve your storage 
problem for the interim until you get your new computer, and (slightly) 
increase the value of your G4 if you want to sell it.


Or, you could just hang onto it and put it into an external Firewire 
box when the time comes.

The one strange thing,...on the iPod photo,..it now comes with the

cable. If you want a Firewire cable,..you have to buy it separately.
Hmmm,...a loss for the Mac people? Or am I missing something? :o)




So does this mean usb2 will run full speed on macosx? Or do iPods now 
run

slower on macs then pcs, unless you pay extra for a firewire cable?


Not if you don't have USB2 in the first place on your ageing G3 or G4 
machine. You'll NEED to get a firewire cable.




At least you can now view photos from your camera on the ipod photo 
without
connecting it to the computer.  That feature should have been there 
from the

start.


No. As I read it, that's a forthcoming gadget from Apple which we'll 
see sometime in March, and will work with all iPod Photos. It's not a 
necessarily a feature of the new ones.
