IPhoto needs to be more like Picasa!

Don't get me wrong, I really like my Mac, but let's face it, it is supposed to be the platform of choice for media addicts and computer novices. What's sad is that MS Windows has the edge in the area of photo organizing because it runs both Picasa and the photo organizer in the Windows edition of Adobe Photoshop Elements.
iPhoto is just too unwieldy for the novice user or the media addict that wants to categorize everything quickly and efficiently.
If only we had Picasa on the Mac, this wouldn't be an issue. Please Apple developers-- please add the bells and whistles to iPhoto that will make the Windows people jealous.
MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • With my iPod Touch I need to reboot the wi-fi about half the time when accessing wi-fi connected apps, more like 80 percent when using Viggle. Irritating.

    My iPod Touch has a quirky wi-fi connection. About half the time I need to go to settings and reboot the wi-fi to use apps like weather and mail, more like 80 percent with Viggle. It is irritating. Is it an iPod software problem? I don't have this problem with other platforms.

    Do you have this problem when connected to other networks?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If you ony have the problem with your network that indicates a problem with your router.

  • How to get iphoto upload automatically like picasa

    I want iphoto to recognize the pictures automatically like what Picasa does when putting the pictures together in a file or whatsoever. Is that doable?  It is annoying to actually import the pictures when opening iphoto rather than letting it be automatically done just like Picasa does.
    Let me know thanks!!

    It doesn't do that. You can set up a watched folder system with Folder Actions and Automator or Apple Script.

  • Spotify UI needs to be more condensed, not more like iTunes

    I would like the search results to show up as in the old UI-design. The new UI-design is horrible, beside the point that Spotify is starting to look more and more like iTunes for no good reason. It all comes down to wasted screen real estate. First of all the new search is wasting space on the sides while simultaneously truncating Artist name and album name. The new search also wastes roughly half of my screen before the search results come. This leads to unnecessary scrolling and I am using an 1920x1200 display!, this must be even more irritating on smaller resolution displays.I have outlined my thoughts in picture1 and picture2 So I guess my idea is that Spotify needs to think in terms of screen real estate. The primary goal needs to be to present as much information as possible in one screen. The old UI did a perfect job for this. There where clear lists and still album art to see what was going on. It also had its own distinct look and feel it felt genuine in some seance. Copying the look and feel of iTunes feels second class somehow, like Spotify desperately tries to be something else. But there is so much other aspects the needs to be fixed with Spotify then the look and feel of its UI. 

    I have to chime in on this one too. I'm a long time Spotify user and a graphic designer. The design was great before the recent update. There is so much wasted space now. One tthing I miss is the little blurb at the top of the page in Artist view that gave several lines  of the intro to the artist Biography.  Now I have to click on the full Biography link to read anything. While this might not seem like a big deal, having that blurb was really convenient and attention grabbing.  Now I have less of a desire to click the Biography link. Another grievance is the Top Tracks section of the Artist page. While it's great that they increased it from 5 to 10, the new mini album icons take up so much room! Plus I loved being able to star a track right from the Top Tracks list withouth having to hunt for it in the Albums list. Sure, the little icons help find the album quickly, but it's still annoying to scroll and hunt.  And what's with the side by side crap? Now I can't click on the top track and shift+click down through the next album to select all the songs, it skips the 9 other tracks. That should be fixed. And of course, color! This might sound like nitpicking, but it really makes a big deal. So many people spend hours on end on their computer each day. For those who have to stare at a screen for a long time, a bright interface is a bad idea.  Sure, it looks pretty, but that's not what it should be about. I want to hear music, and I want a power, intuitive tool to get the job done. If the color and design are going to bug people, guess what? People aren't going to interact with your product as much. They're going to do what I do now, set a long playlist, minimize the window, and forget about all the extra goodies you've worked so hard to pack into your software. Spotify's color and layout was spot on before. If you want to mess with the color, cool. But could we have some options to change it from the preferences pane without having to download and install add ons or skins? (wow that was long, sorry. there's my two cents)

  • I'm new with my Mac. I have downloaded a gopro video to iPhoto and now I would like to burn it to a disk. How do I make this happen? Does it need to run threw iMovie?

    Hello,  Im new with Mac. Ive downloaded a GoPro video to iphoto and now I would like to burn it to a disk. What is the best way to go about this? Do I need to do this in imovie?

    I assume you want to burn a video DVD that will play in a DVD player on a TV set, correct?
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag  movie file into the open iDVD window for iDVD's Media/Photos pane being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    There are a couple of other video DVD authoring application available from the App Store. They don't have the versatility that iDVD has.  I've not used any of them so can't comment on their effectiveness.  I do, however, believe that there's no app that can do as well as iDVD in creating a prefessional looking video DVD.

  • After Effects CS6 error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback - any ideas please?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm running After Effects CS6 (11.0.4.2) on a MacBook Pro 2.8Ghz with 16GB RAM (Mac OS 10.9.4)
    As a test, I created a 3 and a half minute Sequence in Adobe Premiere CS6, and then imported this into After Effects CS6, and placed it on the AE timeline.
    This footage involves a couple of 1920x1080p footage movies, some psds and a large number of JPGs exported from two videos arranged as a sequence in two layers in Premiere, one on top of the other. So all in all for a Premiere / After Effects file I'd say it's reasonably heavy.
    I then did a RAM Preview with Multiprocessing switched off - the 3 and a half minute sequence loaded into RAM, taking about 1min 30seconds, and played back in realtime at 25fps. This worked fine with 3,4,5 and 6 GB RAM available to other applications in the Memory Preferences. All things considered I think this is quite good. I can make changes, reclick the RAM Preview icon and my changes load into RAM and it previews ok.
    My only 'complaint' is how long the RAM Preview takes to load up the whole thing.
    I've been reading up on Multiprocessing and decided to try this to see if I can speed up the time it takes my RAM Preview to load up.
    So I looked at some recommendations from Adobe and read information on various forums including this one.
    My settings in the Memory Preferences are currently
    • 6GB reserved for other applications
    • Reduce cache size when system is low on memory - unticked
    • After Effects Multiprocessing - ticked
    • Installed CPUs (processor cores) - 8
    • CPUs reserved for other applications - 6
    • RAM allocation per background CPU - 3GB
    • Actual CPUs that will be used - 2
    This combination takes about 25 seconds to load up my 3 and a half minute sequence which I thought was pretty amazing.
    I then pressed the stop button and then the play button - so now just playing the sequence briefly.
    And also added a new layer - into the timeline - just a simple shape.
    Then I tried a RAM Preview again.
    I found I could load up part of the sequence but not load the whole thing into RAM.
    I kept trying to get a RAM Preview and got this message
    "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" which seems to prevent RAM Preview from working.
    Eventually I quit and restarted After Effects and the problem went away temporarily and then came back when I tried again.
    I tried various changes to the Memory Preferences - trying 3GB available for other applications. This gave 13GB of my 16GB RAM to After Effects.
    This made it take slightly longer for the After Effects error to appear but it still appeared.
    I tried ticking Reduce Cache size in the Memory Prefs  - the After Effects error still appeared, so having read this is supposed to make the issue better I now leave it untucked, but as far as I can see ticked or untucked, it makes no difference, the problem remains.
    I've since tried -
    Making 2,3,4,5 and 6 CPUs available for other applications.
    Changing the Background RAM allocation per background CPU to 0.75GB, 1GB, 1.5GB, 2GB and 3GB
    Lots of combinations.
    But in the end, I always get the "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" error.
    It might take less or more time for the message to show up, depending on the combination of settings, but in the end I always got the same message appearing.
    And I notice that I can RAM Preview less and less of the timeline. i.e. it becomes more blue than it does green and will load in only a small section of the timeline as opposed to the whole thing.
    Reading further, I tried Edit > Purge > Image Cache and Edit > Purge > All Memory but still get the error message.
    I also tried ensuring there were no other applications running e.g. Safari or Chrome or Firefox. And certainly not Photoshop or Premiere etc.
    Reading even further, I tried two Memory management applications - 'Memory Clean' and 'Purge.'
    Neither has had any effect - the After Effects error still appears.
    Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
    I unticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously. And now the RAM Preview loads the whole 3 and half minute sequence in entirety, taking about 1 and half minutes to do so. It's working as perfectly as if I'd just quit and re-opened the application.
    Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
    I reticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously.
    The chose Edit > Purge > All
    And tried a RAM Preview again. It loaded up in 25 seconds, but then, as previously, the error message came.
    I tried Edit > Purge All - no effect.
    And I tried going into the Media and Disk Cache Preferences and clicked Empty Disk Cache - still the problem remains.
    I understand from my reading that After Effects CS6 11.0.2 was intended to fix this issue but I'm on 11.0.4 and as far as I can tell, I still have it - assuming it's the same thing.
    As far as I can see, not using Multiprocessing allows me to work without these errors but take a bit longer to load the RAM Preview.
    However I'd like to be able to use Multiprocessing as it seems it can potentially speeds things up quite a lot. I realise I could just not use it and AE would work, but I'd rather be able to make use of a feature of the software if possible, especially if it will speed things up and make optimum use of the my computer's hardware.
    I've downloaded a trial copy of After Effects CC 2014. I'm still testing it but as far as I can see the RAM Preview error appears in this version of AE as well, but can take bit longer to show up in my experience.
    Thanks everyone - if anyone has any thoughts or advice I'd appreciate hearing your opinions.
    Kind regards,
    John

    You need to have much more RAM reserved for other applications and more CPUs reserved for other applications. Your current settings are crippling your performance.

    After you have adjusted your settings according to the recommendations on those pages, restart your computer and try again.

  • Isuggest that verizon becomes more like sprint...

    isnt it a new day when verizon got all its old customers for being soo good at service.... 
    in this economy youd think big brother V would be more like Sprint... 
    Customer Service
    Dial *611 from your cell phone
    (800) 922-0204
    Monday-Sunday 6am-11pm  
    Emergency Service Hours
    Monday-Sunday 11pm-6am
    HOW  {word filter avoidance} is this kinda of service... the pre paid customers get better customer service.... but us loyal users cant even {word filter avoidance} call when ever we want... 
    thats horrible... showing loyalty to them is not worth the effort... 
    and omg insurance is a whole different story... how the hell do i pay you!, monthly fees, taxes, service... and you cant even file my insurance... i was in the store on 86th steet in manhattan... and they told me they couldnt even mail out my phone when i went to them to get the new one connected... verizon has become an evil empire doing what they want... its too bad that so many people stick to them cause they dont know that they are basically getting ripped off... i been getting ripped off for years now. i have had verizon since 03?... and they used to be so nice... now they just a buncha suits who dont know crap about technology and just click preset programs behind a computer... whats the point of having such "classy" staff when they arent even mentally there... they dont even know WHY phones are hyped... why they CAN do and what they can do... its a shame to see this company that i brought alot of users to go to **bleep**... they need a new pr and customer service... to say the least.... 
    and verizon just stopped me from psoting their own link to thier web page ... for customer service agreement....
    hahahaha! that is the best... 
    If you change your device or receive a Service promotion, you may be required to change your Plan to one that we are currently offering at that time.
    thats great since when do that do this? i never heard of this! i know ex employees who get everything on there phone unlimited for 70 a month and out or control price... switch phones and STILL have thier plans... 
    We may change prices or any other term of your Service or this agreement at any time,but we'll provide notice first, including written notice if you have Postpay Service. If you use your Service after the change takes effect, that means you're accepting the change. If you're a Postpay customer and a change to your Plan or this agreement has a material adverse effect on you, you can cancel the line of Service that has been affected within 60 days of receiving the notice with no early termination fee.
    whats the point of having a contract with them... if they can do what they want...
    and that should be before they say anything to... before buying this phone with this promotional plan. verizon has the right to change that plan anytime. 
    You must pay all taxes, fees and surcharges set by federal, state and local governments. Please note that we may not always be able to notify you in advance of changes to these charges.
    its called bold font for a reason... send me a statement saying that this is WHY! in BOLD! duhhhhh.... 
    We're here to help. It's important that you notify us right away, so we can suspend your Service to keep someone else from using it. If you're a Postpay customer and your wireless device is used after the loss or theft but before you report it, and you want a credit for any charges for that usage, we're happy to review your account activity and any other information you'd like us to consider. Keep in mind that you may be held responsible for the charges if you delayed reporting the loss or theft without good reason, but you don't have to pay any charges you dispute while they are being investigated. If we haven't given you a courtesy suspension of recurring monthly charges during the past year, we'll give you one for 30 days or until you replace or recover your wireless device, whichever comes first.
    sooo... you will do all that... but you wont handle the insurance... claim the insurance... i really have to go to some one else... to get the phone that you have exclusively... wow... thats all i really have to say... 
    that im not going to pay you ever! you guys are a joke. and im going to sprint... maybe when you guys actually get better service... ill come back... but thanks again for NOTHING!

    Hello and thanks to the community for providing great help to our fellow member. Hi, frustratedfan. I've just finished reading your posting and I can see why you partially call yourself "frustrated". What I'm hoping is that the "fan" portion of your nickname was meant for Verizon Wireless. To me, that means you're still a fan of VZW, but you don't much like what you've seen lately. I really want to help you regain your confidence in us, but I really need your help understanding something. In the title you provided for this thread, you say that VZW should be more like Sprint. I certainly don't want to invalidate your opinion on that, but I think I missed out on what areas you feel that Sprint is superior to VZW. You mention the hours of availability that our Customer Service is available, but you don't state what Sprint's customer service hours are. You mention our insurance procedures, but you don't state how they differ from Sprint. You mention several sections of our Customer Agreement, but you don't state how Sprint's Customer Agreement is better. 
    Again, it is not my intention to invalidate your feelings on this. On the contrary, I want to support you! I want to see where one of our valued customers feels that we need to improve. 
    Until I hear back from you on those points, I would like to respond to those things that I can help you with: VZW policies. As you know, our Customer Service teams are available 17 out of each 24 hour day to discuss billing and service concerns. That's more than 2/3 of each day! Most other utilities can't say that! What we're also proud of My Verizon, which is available at all times. Just about any question you have about your bill or concern about your device can be addressed at www.verizonwireless.com! Don't have access to a computer? Try My Verizon Handset. Just want to check your minutes (dial #MIN) or check your data usage (dial #DATA) or make a payment (#PMT) or even know if you can get a discount off a new phone (#UPG)? All available 24 hours a day!! 
    I'm here to help with any concern you have, frustratedfan. If you prefer not to discuss this publicly, you can send me a personal message. Thanks!

  • How to make Adobe Acrobat Pro's (CS6) toolsets work more like previous versions. It is very inconvenient now to put it mildly, was much better in CS3.

    In CS6, every time I need to preflight, edit, export images from Acrobat Pro I have to try and build a new toolset. The little icons that appear at the top are generally meaningless, as I don't use this every day. Is there a way to make it behave more like previous versions - say CS3?

    Why do you have to build a new toolset? Why not, for instance, just click the Preflight button?

  • AE CC 2014.1.1 the plague of "ram preview needs 2 or more frames"

    As i said abot Premiere CC 2014.1, for me AE CC 2014.1.1 is the worst version of this sw ever on my system. Specs:
    i7980x
    GTX680 4GB
    24GB ram
    Asus P6T deluxe mobo
    2 SSD Intel, one for AE cache
    I'm experiencing continuos crash from AE. I'm on a big project, as always, and performance is terrible. After a bit of time of working AE became terribly slow. The "blu" bar under the preview window start load again and again. I move the mouse, loading, i scroll the window, loading, press caps lock to stop the preview....loading. This is the sympthon. After this kind of wierd performance i know that my ram preview will not start again. The infamous message will pop up and doesn't matters what i do, purge, format ram or whatever. the only way is to close AE and reopen it.
    Now...i'm using AI files or PSD files, so i've to run AE and Photoshop or AI all toghether....after some minutes...the bar loading, the performance slows down and the message pop up again.
    The ridicoulous fact is that when i render the project i have the ram usage at 19% and cpu usage at max 60%. So my renders are really long (about 10hr for 2 minutes of animations), but my system is sitting there doing nothing. Really odd...i can use 12GB of ram and half of the cores at this point, doesn't matter for AE performance...

    Right! It's got a little bit worse... After the 'RAM preview needs 2 or more frames' window I purged then restarted and all was back on track for about 5 minutes, then it happened again and then the following series of warnings have locked AE in a cycle of warnings...
    Below is the series of warnings I've just received followed by my memory and cache settings and then the memory left on my computer.
    then
    my memory settings
    my cache settings
    and the memory left on my computer
    The file is 'just' a series of After Effects solids with masks (about 40), rigged together with Duik IK (not the puppet tool thing just the one that links layers together) and some wavs for the sound file.
    Like I say I've probably done hours of lipsyncing over the last 15 years with far far heavier files (using HD footage and a far bigger comp with psd files) and I certainly haven't had this kind of persistent problem and it's only since I installed CC2014 last week...
    grrrr and arrrrgh

  • I was getting into iPhoto and got a message iPhoto needs to b e updated.  I clicked and all my pictures are gone.  How do I get them back?

    I was getting into Iphoto and got a message that Iphoto needed updating.  I complied and have lost all my pics?  Where could they have gone?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I have ordered OS X 10.6.  I have 1 GB of memory.  Will I need to buy more memory?

    I have ordered OSx 10.6.  I have 1 GB of memory.  Will I need to buy more memory?

    If you like to work with photos, graphics, or videos at all, then 2 GB would be much better; I actually had 3 GB installed when I was running Snow Leopard (that was the maximum for my iMac). The minimum requirements published are exactly that: a minimum. For instance, for Mountain Lion, it says 2 GB; unless you do nothing but email and web browsing, 4 GB is a much more realistic minimum.
    So, if your computer model can handle 2 GB, go for it.

  • Make Captivate behave more like Powerpoint?

    Hey all,
    I'm working on a project where we want to use Captivate as our platform (so it's HTML-friendly and responsive), but we'd like for it to behave more like Powerpoint. The two main features we'd like to have are:
    Allow for a mouse-click anywhere on the screen and/or keyboard shortcut to advance the presentation, rather than having to click a specific button to continue
    Allow for there to be objects that appear in succession on the same slide. If there's a square, a circle, and a triangle on a slide, what's the best process for having them fade in one at a time? It seems like click boxes and pausing might be the way that we have to do this, but I'm hoping there's an easier alternative. (or one that makes more sense to me)
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    You need only a click box if you want to control the appearance of the next object by a click. If they can appear automatically after each other (in sequence, is also possible in PPT) you don't need click boxes. Here is a pretty complicated example, where I needed clicks for a presentation on an Adobe Summit:
    You see 4 click boxes, which I put on top of each other on a specific location of the slide, which is possible because they are staggered, not active at the same moment. They have the action 'Continue'. I didn't put them over the whole slide, because there was also a shape button functioning as Next button that is not visible here because it is on the first slide, timed for the rest of the project.

  • I use itunes on a Dell XPS502 with W7/64. In some cases have have problems to import CD's. The sound is very disturbed and the import need a lot more time than in normal cases. Is there a problem between itunes W7/64 or a known hardware issue?

    Example-CD : "Tracy Chapman , Telling stories" is not able to import . I have more such negative cases. But in other cases it works fine and the sound is great.
    The firmware at the inbuild CD/DVD DS-6E2SH is the latest version.
    What can I do??

    hi b noir,
    I don't no about virtuel drives like you mententioned. In the mean time I have rebooted the XPS and run again the iTunes diagnostics. I think the back - chance in the registry was not ready to use.  Now there are another results. They are the same in case of a running CD or a not running CD. The difference in total is like before. It takes more time that iTunes reads the (bad) CD and at the there is no good sound. In both cases ( running or not running CD) iTunes diagnostics gives as a result :
    (the copie from ITunes shows the result of the not running CD from Tracy Chapman)
