    How can I save the images and movies on a  external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    If you want to back up the Photos only:
    Export them using the File -> Export command.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

    trying to sync iphone 4 and itunes keeps coming up with "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined"?

    Same issue. Is this a new bug with iTunes 10.5.1??
    Anyone know of a solution?
    I reported it to Apple on the feedback page, but, I'm pretty convinced that Apple doesn't listen to or read their feedback. http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Images folder in Robohelp 7 project only lists a small fraction of the images actually there

    I added an image to a topic. The image had an identical name to an existing image in the project. The image appeared in my main project folder, which is where all images initially show up in my project. I then move them to an images folder. I moved this image, expecting to get a message asking if I wanted to replace the exsting image with the same name. i wanted to update all instances where this image appears. Instead I got a message that this file was in use and could not be replaced. I clicked on my images folder to see if the original image was in a topic that was open and maybe that was why it would not overwrite. At this point i noticed most of the images in the folder were not listed.
    I can use Reports Used and I see all the files that are supposed to be in my images folder, but when I go to the Images Reports tab, only the files that are listed in my images folder in the Project Manager are shown. So Robohelp knows the files are in the images folder and that they are in use, but it does not recognize them as images and will not list them as such.
    i have no idea how this happened or how to fix it.

    If RoboHelp allowed you to replace the image and it were a different size, you could have problems in the existing topics. I suspect that is why it is not allowed to replace it in that way.
    As far as "missing" images are concerned, try renaming the folder to say Images2. They will likely all appear and then you can revert the name.

    If a tool is acting up, one suggestion is to reset the tool.

    If you already registered, then there is no point to trying to do so again. Simply dismiss the dialog.

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

  • I am running Lion (OS X 10.7.4) and trying to reinstall iLife06, a .mpkg file, using Installer.app.  I get a message "You can't open the application iLife06.mpkg because PowerPC apps are no longer supported."  Is there a work around??  Thanks in advance!

    I am running Lion (OS X 10.7.4) and trying to reinstall iLife06, a .mpkg file, using Installer.app.  I get a message "You can't open the application iLife06.mpkg because PowerPC apps are no longer supported."  Is there a work around??  Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

    The only workaround would be to purchase the current version of iLife apps from the App Store.
    Lion doesn't support the old PowerPC architecture anymore, which is what iLife '06 was written for.
    If the internal apps are universal, right-click on the mpkg and choose Show Contents. Then, dig through and run the specific installer package for each application.

    Itunes was working fine. Tried to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue. Program still works, simply cannor upgrade.

    Thanks b noir,
    I tried this solution without success. After FixIt ran and didn't find a problem, either in looking for issues with "software upgrade" or "iTunes" it kindly offered to help me uninstall iTunes. I had thought of this as a possibilty but it seems to me that if you do that you lose a lot of "non-native-to-Apple" information you might have entered. I did this once and recovery was painfull. Is there a way to uninstall iTunes without losing all of that sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Tile list - clicking on the images to change get different movies to play

    I am buiding an application where I just got the tile list working with images loaded in.  My question is there a way to click on the images that are loaded in to get them to do things, such as change a video, in my video player?
    Thanks!

    Using the 'adjust date and time' setting is the best way to syncronise the photos from all your cameras. However as you say this merely puts them all in the correct order chronologically.
    If there are photos that you feel would be best somewhere else in an album other than in date order, it may depend on how many as to which is the best option for you. If it's only a few you may wish to adjust the date/time on these few manually so they fit in with the rest where you want them.
    If you have a lot of photos you want in a different order to the order by date, or you really don't care about what date/time is used and just want them in the order you want them in, then 'batch change' is the best option.
    From the view menu, select 'sort photos - manually', drag the photos around until they are in the order you want, select all of them. Now select the batch change option and choose 'Date' from the 'set' options, type in a date and time for the first photo, it can be anything but it's probably a good idea to choose something close to the original date, then check the box 'Add'. You can keep the value set at 1 minute or enter any value you want, it may be more realistic to divide the length of your holiday by the number of photos you have to calculate a value, but it really isn't necessary. Clicking OK will adjust all the dates without affecting the title or description and the photos will now show on the Apple TV in that order.
    Just to be sure iTunes is updated, you may want to go to the advanced menu/choose photos to share in iTunes and deselect the album, apply, reselect the album and apply again.

  • Could not use the clone stamp because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point

    Why is this not working??!

    Presumable because you have not followed the instruction implicit in the error message:

    Read the Help file if you do not know how to do that.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
