How many photos can the Aperture Library hold ????

Just trying to work out the limits for photos for Aperture ? How many photos do you folks have in your libraries ? 
Cheers Darren

As you get close to 750,000 you begin to run into problems with administrative tasks taking too long.  Repair and Rebuild will take days, not hours.  Upgrading a Library that large is also better measured in days than in hours.  The longest operation I've done took 82 hours.
Because of my time limitations (not the computer's) I did not grow this test Library beyond 750,000 Images, which I consider, as a rule-of-thumb, the practical limit for an Aperture Library running on c. 2014 equipment.  (YMMV — a lot of variables in there.)
Just for some sense of scale, if you looked at each Image in a Library with 750,000 Images for 1 second and never blinked or paused, it would be more than 8 ½ days until you'd "seen" all of them.  (750000 /60 /60 /24, or just put "750000 seconds is how many days?" into Google for an impressive use of their built-in converter.)

  • How many tunes can my itunes library hold?

    I do hope this doesn't sound stupid but I'm new at this. today I burned my first cd and I figured out how to copy from a cd I had onto my itunes library. So now I have approximately 20 songs in my itunes library. No small feat for someone who never did this in her life. you guys have been amazing helping me here.
    so I am going to buy an ipod. I was told that I will just plug in the ipod and it will automatically put the songs from my itunes library right onto my ipod. Sounds great to me. I also asked a friend "what happens when I download some new stuff from itunes", how can I select stuff (and not the whole library again) and put the newly selected stuff on my ipod and he answered "melody, the ipod will do it automatically, just putting the new songs on there". i said "really?" he laughed and said "yes".
    so if I download music, is there a limit to how many songs my itunes library can hold? I know if I buy an ipod nano that it holds 250 songs. But no where can I find out if there is a limit to what the itunes library can hold.
    Thanks much. Melody

    Back so soon. I have to be off in a minute it's getting late here but I'll see what I can come up with before I go.
    You can pretty much charge your iPod when you like, the battery indicator isn't terribly reliable. The lithium-ion battery doesn't have to be run down flat before you re-charge. Check out the battery FAQ for more detailed information:
    Battery FAQ
    Tips and tricks to get the most out of your iPod's battery
    Common Sense IPOD Battery Pointers
    About the Battery charge status icon
    If your iPod is set to update automatically (that's the default so I suspect that's how yours is) then it will only update if you have made changes to iTunes since the last time you connected. If no changes have been made it will just mount and begin charging. You can also get an separate charger which is useful if you are away from home and can't connect to a PC. It's also useful for charging overnight as you can save on electricity by not having your PC running all the time.
    Unless you have changed any settings you probably haven't got your iPod enabled for disk use, however you should always eject it from iTunes before unplugging it, and never unplug it while it is updating and displaying the "do not disconnect message". You will find the "enable disk use" check box when you have the iPod connected to iTunes under Edit>Preferences>iPod if you want to check if it's on or not. If you ever change from automatic to manual updating then the box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod
    Just a last bit of info on updating for you:
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
    I hope this makes some sense and is useful to you. Have a good evening and don't get too caught up in the technicalities too soon, take time to enjoy your iPod and read up on the various tutorials. I'm off now, once more, all the best and good luck.

  • UCCX 10.5 - How many calls can the CUIC database hold?

    I have a 10.5.x 100 user deployment of UCCX (30 user licenses) and was wondering if there is a way to tell how many calls (roughly) it will be able to store before it starts purging old data.  I've found the purge settings (90 months / 80%) but I don't know how to tell how many calls it takes to get to 80% of database capacity.  Has anyone found any documentation on this?  
    Also, is there a way to tell how large the CUIC database has grown (and what the max size is)?  If I can find these two things out I can make my own calculations.  

    Hi Kyle
    I hadn't seen it, but knew there must be...
    from CLI:
    show uccx dbserver disk
    This appears to show the various informix databases and their files. I'm no Informix expert, but if I apply what I know about database servers generally then I'd interpret it like so:
    - Total Size = The allocated size of the files on disk. i.e. what it can grow to.
    - Free Size = Portion of that file that is unused
    - Filename = You'll be interested in the db_hist.dbs line - the historical DB.
    - Data size = will be total size-free size.
    The data will grow into the file, and when it reaches the percent (of total size) set on the purge schedule (or the data in the DB reaches the months threshold) it will get purged out.
    Regards
    Aaron

  • How many songs can the ipod shuffle hold

  • How many email can the Droid Razr hold ( corporate emails)

    Just switched to an Android Device from a BlackBerry. Looks like my emails are capped at around 500. I get about 200-300 emails a day, which I cant and dont delete (unless its junk). What is the limit? I used to have 10k plus with BB  before I needed to trash some emails and when I did, it did not delete them from my inbox at my office email. Anybody can help with this?

    What email app are you using, and what type of Corporate Email system are you connecting to? There are probably some limitations to some apps, so if there are things about it that you do not like, try a different email app, like K-9 . That is the nice part about the phones, you do not have to stick with just what came on the phone, you can use other apps instead.

  • How many contacts can the iPhone hold....now?

    This question was asked back in 2008 and has been archived, however I'd like to revisit this issue.
    What I'd like to know, is this:
    How many contacts can the iPhone hold before it effects performance?
    I have a iPhone user with an MS Exchange email account on the phone, Calendar and Contact sync is turned on. The problem is, the user has 10,000 contacts.
    The contacts synchronized to the iphone, however, when writing emails or doing any task that accesses the contacts database (i.e. auto-completion of names), There is a good 35 to 40 second lag before you can enter the second letter of a name on the keyboard. I can only assume that this is due to the pure insanity of having 10,000 contacts on a mobile device... The search takes too long. Although it did work just fine on the blackberry (a lessor device ).
    Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on how many contacts one can successfully store on an iPhone without running into the "lag" issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    What is the overall size of all these songs?
    This will determine how many songs the iPhone can hold.
    The actual capacity of an 8GB iPhone is around 7.3 GB - OS X alone takes up approximately 500MB.
    You should leave some free space available on the iPhone for general operating purposes and if you access any email accounts and for Safari cache purposes, etc.
    So you have around 7GB available - as long as the overall size of all 9400 songs isn't greater than 7GB or so, you are covered.

    That's like asking how many cows can I get into a field.  It depends on the size of the field, size of the cows, the terrain of the field, etc.  We could use a bit more information on what you're trying to accommplish:
    1 - where are the photos being downloaded from.
    2 - how big are the photos?
    3 - where are you going to put the photos, i.e. into folders, into an iPhoto library?
    4 - how big is the hard drive in the Mac Pro and how much free space do you have on it?
    etc., etc, etc......

    How many images can iPhoto 2.01 hold? What's the maximum.
    And why does iPhoto occassionally crash when dragging folders of images into the Album list area?
    thanks,
    Hairfarmer

    I have 70,000 RAW images arranged in directories by year/day.  The only thing slow about it is during catalog backup. When first starting LR it takes a couple of minutes to enumerate the dates with photo counts, but that occurs in the background.  I detect no database related slowness while editing or performing random accesses and searches.  I have seen no difference in the above after having upgraded to V4.
    The only slowness that I find annoying has nothing to do with the database.  It is after a certain number of spot removals of varying sizes. The larger and/or more varied the spot size tends to accelerate this.  At some point it starts disk thrashing and becomes impossible to work with (I have to back up to a history step when it was running OK, which can take several minutes).  When this occurs the task manager shows a high rate of page faults, meaning it is swapping out stuff to disk (even though I have plenty of unused ram).  This suggests a problem with the compiler, but that is just an wild educated guess.

  • How many photos does an 8giga byte hold iPod touch hold?

    how many photos can an 8giga byte iPod touch hold?

    It depends up the file size of the photos.  The 8G iPod only has about 6.3 GB available to the user.  When you sync very large photos to the iPod, iTunes will optimize the photos for the iPod. That means that very large file size photos will be made a smaller file size and then synced to the iPod.

  • How many times can the photoshop code be used?  Like can I download it on one computer then later download it on a different computer?

    Basically the title explains my question.  How many times can the photos hop code be used?  Like can I download it on one computer then later download it on a different computer?

    You're allowed two installations/registrations. Anything above that requires deregistration on one of those computers.
    Take note that if this is Photoshop CC, it's as easy as signing out on a system; there aren't any serial numbers involved as it's all tied to your Adobe ID.

  • How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor

    How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor at one time.  I receive the error message, "Unable to Import Files", which says "You exceeded number of files that can be selecteed and imported at once...."  What is the number?  Secondly is there a way around this for either the Organizer or Editor to work on thousands of photos at the same time?
    Thanks

    I have never heard of this particular limit before.
    Please understand, this appears to be the limit you can import into the Organizer at one time -- you can have as many photos as you want in the Organizer; but apparently you have to import in batches rather than all at once.
    I don't think it applies to the editor; and I can't imagine wanting to have more then a few files in the editor at any one time ... even if you could open 2000 photos in the editor at once, what sense would that make?
