HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
Event Name will become Folder Name.
'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
So: File -> Export
Set your Kind to Jpeg
Select your preferred Quality
Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer

My husband and I both have iPhones . How do I use one account for purchases and keep the email separate when using iCloud?

My husband and I both have iPhones . How do I use one iTunes account to share music, photos and apps, and keep our email accounts separate since all data will use the iCloud function.

You shouldn't be using the same account on phone iphones. Have him setup his own and make sure his iCloud is logged in with that one

How can I import from a MiniDV tape and keep the clip order

A long time ago, I edited some MiniDV video together and recorded back out to a MiniDV tape using some older version of iMovie (ten years ago). I have latest version of iMovie (10.0.2) and have imported all of the edited video back into a new library. Unfortunately, the library is separating the video into separate clips and sorting them by the original timestamps of the original video (before editing). As a result, the clip are in a jumbled mess of an order.
Note that I am just importing the video from the MiniDV tapes so that I can export it as a Quicktime file. I really don't need the video to be split into clips at all. I would actually prefer to just import the entire video as one big clip.
Any idea how I can preserve the order of the

One thing that I have noticed is that Apples built-in camera is optimized for Face Time, so it sometimes captures at 30 frames per second, but if there is not a lot of motion in the frame, it might use 12 or 15 frames per second. So it has variable frame rates. This is great for FaceTime, but not so great if you are trying to keep the audio in sync.
The way to fix this is to use QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip to save the movie out with identical specs except to specify 30 frames per second (or 25 in a PAL country).
I wonder if you are running into a similar problem in QTPlayer. If it is making a variable frame rate movie, you could fix it by dragging the movie into MPEG Streamclip and exporting as the same kind of movie, but with a fixed 30 fps frame rate. MPEG Streamclip is free and quite useful for stuff like this.
Just a thought.
Right now my QuickTime Player is hanging so I can't test to see if you could set the frame rate directly in QuickTime Player X.

How can I turn Notes off in email and keep the notes in the Notes app?

This is confusing but bear with me. A little history, I am using an ipad 2 and accessing several email accounts using the device. I recently enabled the gmail 2 step authentication. Then, I couldn't get the ipad to recognize the email and the explanations for setting up a device recognition were so confusing I abandoned it. Then I just downloaded the gmail app and was able to get into gmail that way, tedious to have to use 2 different apps but anyway. So I deleted the gmail account in Settings, but all my notes disappeared.
After an hour of panic and searching I finally figured out that they are in my gmail account in a Notes folder. Whew!
So 2 questions:
1. Why are notes linked to email accounts, what purpose does this serve?
2. Is there a way to move the notes to a separate folder so I can turn off the notes link?

Hi Frances,
In the Notes App on your iPad, several "accounts" can be set up to house your notes generated from various sources. For example, on my iPad, I have the following accounts:
If I had a Gmail account with Notes enabled, I would also have Gmail listed. The reason they are linked to Gmail is because some people want to make notes for specific emails or in their email app. You can turn off notes in Gmail if you are just using Notes for notes that are not associated with your Gmail account.
Any notes you create on your iPad using the Notes App, will go into your "All Notes" folder, and your "On My iPad" folder.
If you have Notes turned on in iCloud on your iPad, and you select the iCloud account in Notes, then any Notes you create there will automatically be backed up to iCloud, and will also be sync'd to any device that also has Notes turned on in iCloud. This sync happens, basically, instantly as soon as you have a Wifi connection.
In Settings>Notes, you can select which of your vaious Notes accounts you want to use as the Default account (the one that it will be on whenever you open Notes). I have mine defaulted to iCloud. Any time you would want to change to a different account for a particular note, you can click on Notes in the top left-hand corner, then on Accounts, and then select the account you want to go to.
Hope that clears things up!
Cheers,
GB

How do I convert a keynote to flash and keep the video file

I am trying to convert a keynote presentation into flash, but when I do I lose the videos. How do I stop this from happening?
Thanks,
Jeremy

How would this help? Flash is not compatible Keynote. If you are saying I should export the keynote presentation as a quicktime, then convert to flash, well, then I lose all the keynote functionality like the viewer choosing when to go to the next slide.
Am I missing something? I likely am, as I am new to all of this. Could you explain in more detail what you mean? Thanks.

Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

HT201342 i lost my iphone and i need to follow up it by serial number but i don't know how to do it.

i lost my Iphone 4 last week & ineed to follow up it by serial number but i don't know how i can do it,i need help

If you need to find your serial number you can check:
The box it came in
iTunes, by going to Preferences>Devices and hovering your mouse over the backup
http://supportprofile.apple.com, if you ever registered it with Apple.
This won't help you find it, however. It will only enable you to prove it is yours if it is found, and to inform your insurance company.

Discussion: What file system do you use for external backups and why?

I just got a brand new seagate 2TB hdd to act as an external backup.
I use ext2 with it, because it's USB (sata->usb enclosure), and I'm not likely to connect it direct to a PC anytime soon (also my computer is old and I liek to keep ram usage down as much as possible)...
What filesystems do you use\prefer for external backups.. and why?
Also, what type of connection do you use (USB,eSATA,etc,) and size (ie larger then a disk on key..)?

I used to use ext4 on a 1.5TB HD, but recently switched back to ext3—and a tiny NTFS partition for the ext2fsd install file. I realized I use this drive a lot more outside of my Linux environment than I thought, and it was a hassle (and also unsafe) to disable driver signatures at Windows boot just to get a dev version of ext2fsd to work.
pseudonomous wrote:If portability to other operating systems is a concern, then fat32 is, unfortunately, still the best choice, unless you have single files bigger than 4gb, which would probably mean you want to use ntfs or ext2.
While helping a friend with her external hard drive, I noticed another limitation of fat32: only 65535 file descriptors per directory. She tried to backup her entire NTFS Windows C: drive to a fat32 one. Took us a good while until we figured that out, and I couldn't find much about it on the net.

How do you save changes made in iPhoto, and export the changed file. It keeps reverting back to the original.

How do you save changes made in iPhote, and export the changed picture file? When I select export, current format, it reverts to the original, wiping out all my work.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?

My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?
The problem is she can't update to new software until she connect to iTunes, but she don't want to loose all that info.
My question is:
If she register her apple ID on that new computer, and sync the phone, will she loose everything? or iTunes will back up first (because apple id match) and then sync.
Otherwise, how can I do it? The closest apple store is 3 hours away. thanks!

Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

Hi, the last few times i have tried to sync my iPhone 4 to my itunes it won't work. I plug my phone into my computer, to sync any new pictures i have taken or add my new music i have bought on my phone, and hit sync. It appears to start syncing then an error message appears saying the following:
The iPhone 'my iPhone' cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
I'm not sure what this means or why this keeps happening. I have the latest iTunes and i have not done anything different. It appears to have wiped some of my music from my iPhone and a number of my photo albums off. Please can someone help or advise how i resolve this issue. Thanks.

When you set up iOS7 the second screen specifically asks that you create a four digit code .
That's what you now need to re-enter in your phone.
Once entered you can go to system/general/Passcode lock
Re-enter the same code and choose turn Passcode off
iOS 7 has been designed to enforce minimum passcode security by default or in the case of the new 5s use of finger print level security.

How fast (or slow) is a external hd connected to the AE?

I want to store my iTunes depository on an external hd, connected to the AE. Is this setup for music? .. or video?

I actually do this with a majority of my iTunes library. It works fine for any files, as long as the base station is in 802.11n only mode for the fastest transfer rate (use Airport Utility to configure).
If you want to move your entire iTunes library over, find your library in the Finder (home folder/Music/iTunes) and drag "iTunes" to the hdd. Then, when you open iTunes, hold down the Option key and choose "Find library" and navigate to the newly copied iTunes folder on the external hdd and pick the "iTunes Library" file inside. As long as everything is there, you can safely delete the old library.
If you just want to put a couple of large movies on it, or something, you can too. First, make sure iTunes is set to not copy files when adding them (iTunes preferences > advanced). Then drag the large files over to the external from the Finder. Once they are located on the external, drag them into the iTunes window. They won't copy over, but are actually just referenced. So they will play in iTunes as long as the external hdd is available over AirPort Extreme. You can now remove the original ones from iTunes and from your computer.
