How can I use iPhoto with Drobo? Library not copying...

I know from searching this forum that Drobo wasn't suitable for use as a host of the iPhoto Library in the past - but now that Drobo can be formatted as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive, I thought the problem was solved.
However, I can't get my Library to copy over successfully from the external drive I've been using up to now, I get the following error:
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “iPhoto Library” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)
This is confirmed by the fact that the copied library is much smaller than the original: The original is 94.88gb, and the copied file is 55.57gb.
When I open the new library, no thumbnails are visible, and no photos can be opened.
What's the recommended workaround for storing and using iPhoto on a Drobo?
All help much appreciated!

The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “iPhoto Library” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)
That means there is some file(s) or folder(s) within the library that cannot be copied because the permissions on them are wrong or they are damaged in some way.
The Drobo has nothing to do with it.
Workaround: use a back up app like Chronosync to copy the Library to to disk. Any back up app that makes a straight copy of the Library (rather than increments) will do the job.

  • How can I use iphoto with my epson printer to make my own cards?

    How can I use photos on macbook air and my own printer to make cards? I used to be able to -- but some software now only leads me to BUYING cards, or makes it seemingly impossible to manipulate the image so that I can see it on the size paper I will be using. This used to be do-able! How now? Thanks.

  • I have macbook pro w existing iPhoto library. Now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. Cannot access iPhoto library from Canon software, but prints fine from iPhoto. How can I use iPhoto library w Canon software?

    I have a macbook pro w exisitng iPhoto library. I now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. I cannot access iPhoto library for use from Canon software. I can print from iPhoto directly to new printer without problem. How can I use iPhoto library with Canon software? I would like to try the software to see which I prefer...

    Simply export some photos from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and experiment.
    Without telling us even what this program is, not to mind what it does, that's the best anyone can suggest.

    That's exactly what I tried to do, but the iPhoto librry doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. If I click "Choose Folder", the iPhoto library is greyed out and unable to be selected.
    For some reason, iPhoto is an option in the pulldown library on my older iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. What gives?

  • How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    Using Stratus I was able to create an an application using Action Script 3 and Flash CS4.  The sample code on the Adobe site was quite straight forward and easy to understand.  I now want to switch over to  LCCS but can't find anything any where on how to use Action Script 3 and Flash CS4 with LCCS.  Do I need to know Flex to be able to use LCCS?  Everything was quite simple and easy to understand with Stratus and makes complete sense.  But LCCS is really confusing.  Is there any sample code on how to establish a connection in Action Script 3 and then stream from a webcam to a client.  There is nothing in the  LCCS SDK that covers Flash and Action Script 3.  Please help!  I found the link below on some forum but it takes me nowhere.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the LCCS world.
    Please refer to the SDK's sampleApps folder. There would be an app called FlashUserList. The app demonstrates how LCCS can be used with Flash CS4. Its a  pretty basic app, but should help you moving.
    We are trying to improve our efforts to help developers in understanding our samples. Please do let us know if we can add something that would help others.
    Thanks

    How can i use ipad with appletv

    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • How can I use TrueSequenceFactory with multiple sequences

    In the post "How to use existing Oracle sequences using KODO" answered
    by Marc Prud'hommeaux a "sample code" was given. But seems to me that
    example will only work with a single Oracle sequence for the entire
    system. Is this right?
    How can I use TrueSequenceFactory with primary-keys and their
    respective existing sequences? Can you (SolarMetric guys) provide me a
    sample code?

    The problem is that you are using application-identity. When you
    specify an objectid-class, we treat is automatically as application
    identity. To resolve this, I would recommend removing both the
    objectid-class and identity-type atributes from your class. With
    "objectid-class" in place, we asssume that you wil take care of identity.

    I'm using Kodo 2.4.0, Oracle 9i, JBoss 3.0.4, the Kodo jars are in the
    JBoss' lib/ext.
    Well, I'll show what I have...
    This is the script of my table:
    CREATE TABLE LINEUP_VOYAGE (
    VOYAGEID NUMBER (10) NOT NULL,
    VESSEL_NAME VARCHAR2 (1000) NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT PK_LINEUP_VOYAGE
    PRIMARY KEY ( VOYAGEID ) ) ;
    This is an excerpt of my .jdo file:
    <class name="LineupVoyage" objectid-class="LineupVoyageId"
    identity-type="datastore">
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="table" value="LINEUP_VOYAGE"/>
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="sequence"
    value="LINEUP_VOYAGEID_SEQ"/>
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="pk-column" value="VOYAGEID"/>
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="lock-column" value="none"/>
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="class-column" value="none"/>
    <field name="vesselName">
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="data-column"
    value="VESSEL_NAME"/>
    </field>
    <!--field name="id" primary-key="true">
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="data-column"
    value="VOYAGEID"/>
    </field-->
    </class>
    As you can see, the "id" field is commented.
    And this is my class:
    package br.com.fertimport.entity;
    import java.util.*;
    public class LineupVoyage {
         private String vesselName;
    //     private long id;
    //     public LineupVoyage(long id) { this.id = id; }
    //     public long getId() { return id; }
    //     public void setId(long id) { this.id = id; }
         public String getVesselName() { return vesselName; }
         public void setVesselName (String vesselName) { this.vesselName =
    vesselName; }
    The "id" attribute is commented.
    Now the questions...
    To use ClassSequenceFactory must the identity-type of my entities be
    application or datastore?
    Is the "objectid-class" parameter required in this case?
    As you see, all references to the "id" property are commented. Can I
    use this property to represent my object id?
    If not, how can I identify my object with something like a long?
    The last question is related to my architecture: one VM with the EJBs
    (entity and session) and another VM with the web classes and JSPs,
    connected by a session facade. I don't want to use any Kodo or JDO stuff
    in the web tier. Is this possible?

    I will address your second question.
    First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs.  If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option.  Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.
