I have spent a lot of time saving, organizing and arranging photos (for the last 7 years) on my PC, and would like to know the best way to transfer these, AND MAINTAIN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE FOLDERS, to my new ipad (and later, my iphone). I have a really good system, and I do not want to have to do it all over again, on the ipad. I DO NOT want to subscribe to another monthly service fee (i.e. the iCloud) but DO have iTunes on my PC.
What is the simplest method to do this ? I have tried synching, but, each time have lost photos (on my ipad) OR have had NO ORGANIZATION AT ALL to the photos once synced. I have all these photos (5.6gb) in the My Pictures folder, then subdivided into years, then subdivided into events and months within the years. So, my transfer of the My Picures folder, completely transfers all of them, but with NO further organization. Again, I have spent years doing this, and don't want to have to re-invent the wheel.
Can someone advise (or even better, lead me to a youtube video) that accurately shows the best way to do this ?
Thank you, in advance, for your help.
p.s. I particularly enjoy Dan Nations very informative articles on how to get the best from my products. And, wish Apple would explain "how it works" regarding the syncing methods on the Operating System. It is the only thing I "don't get" about using my iPad..... meanwhile I LOVE my new mini ! ! ! ! ! ! ! thanks Apple, for keeping things simple.... Please don't change that !Correct, it will only be one-level, the Photos app doesn't support sub-albums - the sub-folders photos will be included in the parent's album.
If you select My Pictures at the top of the Photos tab when syncing, then you should get an album for each folder that is directly under it - so if I understand correctly what you described then that would mean an album for 2013, one for 2012 etc. And each of those should include all the photos in the subfolders under it - so 2013 would include the photos from the events and months subfolders under it.
You can't sync them separately, only the contents of the last sync remains on the iPad, by not including a folder in the next photo sync you are effectively telling iTunes that you no longer want that folder/album on the iPad so it will be removed and be replaced by the contents of the new sync (you can't delete synced photos directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync).
The app that I use, Photo Manager Pro, allows you to select and copy a folder (via FTP), but you would need to select each subfolder individually, which if you have a lot would be time-consuming (I think that if you select '2013' it would ignore the folders beneath it). -
Burned iMovie .mov to DVD and it caused movie to skip/have weird transitions between scenes and sound to not match with picture. What can I do to help fix this when reburning?
Movie details
QuickTime Movie
Size: 17.95 GB
Duration 17:39
2 audio channels
Codecs- Linear PCM, Apple ProRes 422, Timecode
Thanks!!You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see. -

In Final Cut Express I have two videos I'd like to merge parts of each video into a final film. What is the best way to do this in FCE?
Hi
I use a slightly different way than Alchroma.
Same
• One video on track 1 and the other on Video.track 2
• Resize to 25% and move one to the left and the other to the right
Diff
• I don't use the blade tool
• I use the Pen tool and change the transparency - then I get fast or slow transitions in same stroke and easy to fine-tune later if needed. (But this can be done with the Roll-tool if Blade is used - so it might be as easy)
Final
• Resize to 100% and Center
Video is done
Audio - very close to this by changing the level so that best audio will dominate
• Pen tool here too
But that's me - the Alchroma way is as good as this or may be better for some

I have Acrobat 9 on a PC I no longer use. I want to download and re-install on a different PC. What is the best way to do this?
Hi Chaos2015,
Could you please specify whether you have Acrobat 9 Pro or Standard version.
You need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine and then install on the new one from a CD/DVD and then activate with the same serial key.
If you do not have installation media, then you can download the Pro version from the below mentioned link:
Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
Please note that you can activate the software on maximum two computers. For example: Your desktop at work and laptop at home

I'd like Time Machine to backup my personal account's files separately from my guest account's files. Both have big files. What's the best way to do this? Should I connect 2 external HD to my new iMac, one for each account?
NeuroBrain wrote:
Since my new external hard drive is have a lot of space, I'm thinking of splitting it for Time Machine and external storage.
This is a common mistake and I highly advise against it.
1: TimeMachine saves states of changes and thus requires more room on the TM drive than the boot drive it's backing up.
2: Something happens to the TM drive, loss, theft, dropped, power surge, etc., you lose both backups.
3: The storage drive might become a portable need, with it being on the TM drive, now your increasing the risk to the TM backup that something could happen to it along with the storage drive, due to increased movement.

Hi, I bought my iPhone in Canada but have moved to Australia. I need to speak with someone at Apple Canada what is the best way to do this? Is there is an e-mail address? When I call the Apple Canada number it says I can't call from my location.
In what way did you buy your iPhone? If you paid full price at the Apple Store then your phone should be provider unlocked and should work with practically any SIM card you choose to insert in it. If you bought it cheaper with a contract then it's provider locked then your best bet is to call your cellular provider in Canada. Be sure to note your IMEI number (Settings > General > About) as they're going to need it to do an unlock. Be aware they may or may not charge for this.

I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop (Windows 8). What's the best way to do this?
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane... Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
Thanks so much!!I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.

Whats the best way to expose this in memory database? (ArrayList)
Hello everyone.
I was looking for advice on how I should implement this...currently I have the following ArrayList that stores ClassEntity objects. I'm going to write 2 classes that need to access this ClassEntity Object arrayList because they are goign to use these objects to spit out 2 different files.
I didn't want to make the database public and static though.
Here's a snippet of my current class that populates and creates the arrayList data structure:
public class RODMFileParser
//used to keep file information
ClassEntity classEntity = null;
//used to store ClassEntity objects
List<ClassEntity> classEntityList = new ArrayList<ClassEntity>();
//used to store the conversion table RODM->ENGLISH/ENGLISH->RODM
ConversionTableParser convTableParser = new ConversionTableParser();
else if(line.contains("Field Value "))
//now we can create a new Entity Class object! tricky! huh
classEntityList.add(new ClassEntity(idClassName, idFieldName,
englishClassName, englishFieldName, fieldType));
Iterator listIter = classEntityList.iterator();
while(listIter.hasNext())
ClassEntity tempObj = (ClassEntity) listIter.next();
System.out.println(tempObj);
}So now classEntityList has all the objects I need to create these 2 seperate files but these 2 files are dramtically different. What would be the best way at exposing this classEntityList ArrayList so my 2 other classes can access it?
Thanks!well if I made it non-static, wouldn't I have to create a new object of that class in each class I want to use it in?
for example, that class that populates the database must parse a file to create the database.
RODMFileParser file = new RODMFileParser();
file.parseFile("QAGENT");So inside each class I would have to do this wouldn't I? if I made it public static, wouldn't I only have to read to the disk once?
Putting it to a worst case say, 100 classes need this database, that means I would have to make 100 accesses to the disk woulnd't it?
And if it was public static, it would jsut return a copy of the database that was only read from the disk once or am I misunderstanding how it works? -

NOW the question is: I need to insert the rows from the term 200490 and 200510 because there is data in the slrrasg table for those terms BUT the data that I need to insert is coming from the SGBSTDN table and there is not data for those terms in sgbstdn, so my user is telling my that it is okay to insert the previous term from sgbstdn for example: for the term 200490 I need to insert trhe 200490 in the szslife_slrrasg_term_code but I also need to insert the row from the 200390(previous one) from SGBSTDN.
The same for 200510 insert 200510 in szslife_slrrasg_term_code but the rows from the term 200410 in SGBSTDN.
Please give some ideas of how to do this. I will highly appreciate.Thank you very much for your answer, I have to confess that I am confused, never code this way. It looks very cool, I will like to learn this technique.
This is what I have using my tables and my columns.
What is the idea here? create a table 4 on the fly with all the coulmns that I need? This is what I have but I don't thing is going to work.
2) do you need to have the same number of columns in the select like when you do a UNION?
