Is there a way to get the screen saver on user "a" to use iphoto pictures from user "b"?

Is there a way to have the iphoto screen saver use the photos from a different iphoto user?  My husband leaves his account open and he has only old photos when the screen saver kicks in.   I would like to have my photos be able to pop up on his screen saver.  I need to find them in the system preferences screen saver place, but have it access my iphotos and not only his.  How?  Also, I would like a better system on organizing my photos.. I have them all in events by year and it is difficult of often find favorite specfic photos.  Thank you. Melody

In short, no. The whole point of different accounts is to keep your data separate from his, and your photos are your data.
You could share a library? It can be a bit complex.
You can use Fast-User switching to switch over to your account - takes a couple of seconds
As to organising your Photos - iPhoto is a database and offers pretty much unlimited options for organising your pics, but it takes a bit of work to go beyond the basic and automatic.
If you take the time to assign Places then you cn see all the photos in your Library based on where they were taken. (Of course, that's of limited use if they're all taken in your backyard ) Faces means you can sort the Library based on who's in the Photos.
Beyond that, simple thigns like naming the Events will help - Xmas 11, Bobby's Wedding, Rome 2009 and so on. You can then search on those basic words in the search box.
After that: Keywording. The following is a canned answer I use to describe my system. It may spark some ideas for you.
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • Is there a way to get the calculator from the dashboard to appear along with other programs?  Can anyone recommend a calculator which will work as a stand alone app?

    AS it stands now, in order to use the calculator that comes with the Dashboard, you cannot read from a list of numbers in, lets say, word or excel. The dashboard is full screen and nothing can stand along side it. Is there a way to get the calculator from the dashboard to appear along with other programs?  Can anyone recommend a calculator which will work as a stand alone app?

    there is one, just search with spotlight "Calculator".
    It works great!
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

    Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?  This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

    This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
    I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...

  • Is there any way to get the height/width of an image before importing it in the indesign document.

    Hi All,
    I need to obtain an image's attributes such as dimensions (height, width in pixels) without placing image in indesign document.
    I have full path of the image (say abc.jpg is stored at c:\my pic\abc.jpg).
    I have obtained the IDFile for this image, tried getting size using GetFileSize() which correctly return size in bytes.
    Is there any way to get the height/width of image without importing it in the indesign document.
    Please, give me some hints. I have spent quite a lot time digging in CHM. I have searched in FileUtils, IDFile API's but found no method which serves this purpose.
    At this point I am clueless where to search next.
    Any help will be appriciated.
    Just a point to mention, I am able to get image height and width for an image in indesign doc though Its not my requirement.
    Thnx,
    D.

    You might be able to examine the contents of the PlaceGun after calling kImportAndLoadPlaceGunCmdBoss without actually placing the image in a document. Not sure, but would be worth looking at.
    Otherwise you will probably have to write platform specific code, ideally with a generic platform-independant wrapper (see SDKSamples/paneltreeview/PlatformFileSystemIterator).
    For the Mac, look at CGImageGetWidth() etc., not sure what the best option is for windows.
    Perhaps Quicktime could provide you with a platform independant solution.

  • Is there a way to get the songs back after you do a sync and erase? I no longer have them stored on my harddrive.

    Thanks to a wonderful geeksquad agent all my songs have been deleted from my ipod. They had to restore my computer so the ones I downloaded are no longer on my harddrive or in itunes. Is there a way to get the songs back after you do a sync and erase?

    If they are on the iPod there are third-party programs that will transfer then to  a computer. See:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    If they ae not on either the iPOd or the computer they are gone.

  • Is there a way to get the correct order from the dependent types of a sche

    Hi ,
    I have a CT facing the following problem:
    When trying to built a SQL script to create all the object types within a schema using the DBMS_METADATA packages.
    Did insert in a table the names of the types that will be exported following a concrete order, next loop into the table and call the DBMS_METADATA package for each row.
    These type are depedent between them, there are some type attributes calling other types and here the issue
    First : try to generate the order by created column of dba_objects and when the generated SQL script is launched a lot of type appearing as incomplete state due to the order isn't correct.
    Second : try to insert the table ordering by object_id colums of dba_tables view, it appears incomplete types too.
    Currently want to insert the table using a recursive query with connect by against the dba_type_attrs starting with the rows when ATTR_TYPE_NAME is not null (the types that are called by other types), but this way has a issue dificult to resolve: the roots of hierarchy are the rows when ATTR_TYPE_NAME is not null and we've dependencies between roots nodes
    The question is is there a way to get the correct order from the dependent types of a schema?
    Platform: IBM SP AIX
    DB version: 9.2.0.7
    Any help will be appreciated .
    Thanks in advance.

    The xxx_dependencies view should give you the dependencies betwee nthe various types. I would look at something along the lines of:
    SELECT object_name, referenced_name
    FROM (SELECT o.object_name, d.referenced_name
          FROM user_objects o, user_dependencies d
          WHERE o.object_name = d.name(+) and
                o.object_type = d.type(+) and
                d.referenced_type(+) = 'TYPE' and
                o.object_type = 'TYPE')
    START WITH referenced_name IS NULL
    CONNECT BY PRIOR object_name = referenced_nameThe outer join between user_objects and user_dependencies is required to generate the names of types which are not dependent on other types, or do not have other types dependent on them.

    Can't remember my security questions and can't access my back up email address is there a way of getting the information sent to another email?

    No. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    When using an external (ergonomic mouse) is there any way to get the wheel to scroll one full page at a time? Much appreciated.

    I can't use the keyboard to scroll. I need to keep my hand on the mouse, otherwise I'd never get anything done. Since I have no problem getting Firefox to scroll one page at a time, and I'm constantly jumping between 3 browsers, it would be nice to be able to scroll a full page at a time in Safari, just like I can in Firefox.

  • Is there any way to get the files from other computer ?

    Hai all,
    I have 2 computers connected. I know the IP address of other computer. Is there any way to get the files from other computer. (for e.g. I want to get the files from specific folder. In Java netwroking is it possible? (Any programs)
    regards,

    Bro Take it easy.
    Think you need to send a Image file named ("abc.gif")
    now develop a server using ServerSocket and connect it in local IP and any PORT
    For example i think ur server is connected in "localhost" and 9000 port.
    Now make ur server educated using some commands.
    For example:
    FileName: <File Name String>
    [Means new file is sending by connected client]
    FileSize: <File size long or int value>
    [ So that ur server can determind about the total length of sender file]
    DataModeOpen
    [Now your client will send its image data, this command means your client software is sending data]
    fjadlkfjaofaijojfwoeiurfodkjflsajlfksa
    l23j4lj23lkjlasjfoq23j4rokjelfkjasldkf
    2o3j4lk2j3ljslakdjf2l3j4 l23kjlk23k4j
    DataModeClose
    [Means file sending finished]
    Close
    [Means your client connection is closed]
    Now develop a client supporting this command.
    For example(Server):
    String getFileName=null;
    long getFileSize=0;
    public handleCommand(String getCmd) {
        if(getCmd.startsWith("FileName")) {
                String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
                this.getFileName=   splitData[1];
                outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
        } else if(getCmd.startsWith("FileSize")) {
                String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
                this.getFileSize=Long.parseLong(splitData[1]);
                outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
        } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeOpen")) {
               //data mode open so receive data
              receiveData();
              outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
        } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeClose")) {
              //close client socket
             getClientSocket.close();
    }For client:
    DataInputStream dataIn=null;
    BufferedOutputStream bout=null;
    public sendFile(bytes[] getBytes) {
            //if ok found then do other or show error message
        if(sendCmd("FileName:"+getFileName)) {
            if(sendCmd("FileSize:"+getFileSize)) {
                if(sendCmd("DataModeOpen")) {
                   bout.write(getBytes);
                } else {
                   showError(3);
            } else {
                   showError(2);
