Photo location issue

Hi there,
Here is my problem.
My wife is using iPhoto since a while, and has created wonderful albums all over the iPhoto library.
We did uncheck the option to import photos into library at start.
Since then, she did relocate the source folder of the photos to another place on the HD, and therefore all photos, when you clik on them are unable to be found by the library. And the worse is that she can't remember the previous name she used (which was specific already) for that source folder.
I have tried to rebuild the library, it was horribly painful to attach each picture to its location - and worst of all, iPhoto did crash after some time all the time I spent on a few thousand photos .. and all changes were lost!
Is there not a way to see where the iPhoto library is looking at for each picture and therefore change it FOR ALL OF THEM at once to the new name of directory so it automatically redirect to the right folders?
Thanks in advance for your help on this.

No.
Restore from your back up or make a new library and start over.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

  • Adobe Reader X save location issue

    Hi All, i would like to seek expert helps on Adobe Reader save location issues. After we upgrade from Adobe Reader 9 to Adobe Reader X.
    There are changes on how save location works in Adobe Reader X
    If save PDF via Internet Explorer – the save location will according to last save location, HOWEVER
    If save PDF via Adobe Reader X – the save location will set according to location the file is being open
    Let me show you what i mean over the pictures
    I open a reader_X_help.pdf using Adobe Reader X and then save the file using Ctrl+Shift+S at: C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save
    refer my last save location.jpg
    Now i want to save another new file back to C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save, I open the file Adobe file2.pdf located at desktop and when i do Ctrl+Shift+S, the location point to my desktop and not C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save
    refer my last save location change to desktop.jpg
    I have tested this features in Adobe Reader 9 and it's different whereby it's will point according to my last location save.
    There is no issue with computer as i have 3 machine running different enviroment, Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 Enterprise, and all using same version of Adobe Reader X version 10.0.1.
    So my questions & concern:
    Is there any way to change the save location features same as Adobe Reader 9?
    If YES, how to do it? By Computer Changes or Adobe Reader X packages modification using Adobe Customization tools?
    If NO, Where can i find this source of documentation stated about this new changes so i can publish this information in HP website as new design changes to avoid complaint or negative feedback.
    Looking forward for expert reply as soon.
    Thank you very much and Have a great day.

    Solved it!
    1-go to "edit", select Preferences.
    2-select from the left pane: Security (enhanced)
    3-click on "add folder path" button just below the big white box
    4-pick a folder of your choice and click "ok". (your selected folder path will appear in that white box above the "add folder path" button in step 3)
    5-if you want to add additional folders, just repeat steps 3 & 4
    6-once you are done, click "ok" on the preferences screen and click "ok" again to accept the changes.
    Yes, it seems illogical, but it worked.
    I tested by closing the Reader (X), then surfed the web and did what Neher5 was explaining he/she wanted to do just after opening a pdf from a website and lo-and-behold,  it worked!. No more "save to temp folder" issues.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I copy photos from a text message to my "Photos" location on my iPhone 5s?

    My friends send me photos via text messaging and I try to copy them to my "photos" location on my iPhone 5s. So far, I've only been able to create a folder for the photos but have had no luck in copying photos from iPhone text messages to iPhone "Photos" location. My computer OS is Windows XP Pro 64 bit, the most unsupported OS on the planet....even by Microsoft.

    Your are welcome. Glad you got that sorted out. If you want to know about the new features in iOS 7, you can download the user manual here,http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf, you can open it in your iBooks as well.

  • Callmanager Conferencing with remote locations Issue

    I am new to using callmanager, and I need a little help.
    I have created a meet me number on my callmanager. Once a session is begun, all local network users are able to join the conference call with no problems..
    If a remote location hosts a meet me call, all my local network users are able to join THAT session with no problems as well.
    But if I host a meet me session on MY local network, remote locations CANNOT reach my session. The line remains silent when they dial in.
    I've been told to check the codecs which seem fine and we are checking for a firewall issue, but all normal calls local and remote work just fine. It's only the conference bridging that causes issues.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Thank you very much for replying.
    The configurations, I've been told, are correct. G711 for intrasite and G729 for intersite. And region and device pools correct as well.
    I presented the HW conf bridge solution to a coworker who said it makes sense, but at this time, I don't have access to a hardware conference bridge. Is this the only solution?

    hi,
    please check the following on the call manager,
    -  Check the region configuration on each device pool.
    -  Then check the region configuration between the two regions.
    -  One of the best practices followed by Cisco is, the intrasite region settings should be g711.
    -  And the region settings between inter site should be g729.
    -  G729 is not supported by software conference bridge, it is only supported by hardware conference bridge.
    -  So add the hardware conference bridge to the MRGL of the phone.
    -  And the hardware conference bridge has to be first in the list, that is before the software conference bridge.
    please let me know if this helps or we can do further trouble shooting on this issue.

  • CS5 HDR pro two photos alignment issue

    Although I really enjoy the new tool, I'm having trouble aligning two photograph when I open then through the HDR pro tool.
    Why is alignment of two photos so bad in HDR pro and perfect if you align the two same photos as two layers? I've even tried reopening the same files over and over and get different results each time in HDR pro.
    In view of this, shouldn't there be a realign button in the slider adjustment screen, or options for alignment, such as Use the regular auto-align?
    Since alignment works fine with layers, is it possible to have an option to use layers as a starting point for HDR pro instead of opening saved photos only? I realize this probably might not give perfect results as just fixing the automatic alignment issue...
    But hey, I'm just trying to find a workflow around this if I didn't have my tripod with me at time of shoot... and I shot only two photos to composite.

    Hi Chris,
    thanks for looking into this matter. Where do you want me to send the files (over 50 megs zipped).. they're CR2 files...

  • Where are my photos located if I use LR CC.  What is stored in the Cloud?

    Where are my photos located if I use LR CC.  What is stored in the Cloud?

    With the desktop version of Lightroom CC, nothing is stored in the cloud, nothing can be accessed directly by Lightroom in the cloud, and the Lightroom CC program is installed locally on your computer. The creative cloud is used as a delivery system to provide you with updates and to validate that you are keeping your creative cloud account current. If you decide to do so, you can create collections of your images and share them in the cloud. And if you have a supported mobile device you can install Lightroom Mobile on that device and work on those images that have been shared in the cloud. But basic operation of Lightroom CC is no different than it has ever been.

  • Freeze on "Import from Catalog" at "Checking photo locations"

    Hi there,
    Before going away, I exported a LR catalog with a subset of my images from my desktop machine onto my laptop. I added additional images to that laptop catalog while I was away, and now want to re-import them into my desktop machine catalog.
    Steps taken:
    1) Copy catalog from laptop, with all supporting files and the image files, to desktop machine.
    2) Open that catalog on the desktop machine, confirm that it can access and read its own images.
    3) Open primary catalog on desktop machine.
    4) Select "Import from Catalog" under the "File" menu.
    Problem:
    Rapidly makes duplicate copy of the catalog, then moves on to say "Preparing to Import from Catalog: Checking photo locations". It rapidly moves up to about 35% of the progress bar complete, then hangs there and does not progress no matter how long I wait (i.e. even leaving it sitting there overnight)
    Any ideas?

  • Solved! All-in-Ones Misalignment on Costco or Heavy Photo Paper Issue

    Hi, after much frustration, I finally came upon a solution to the issue of misalignment when printing heavy (Costco or HP Premium) photo papers. My printer is networked and connected via the router. This fix will probably work with other All-in-Ones as well. (I haven't tried this on business cards yet but will post back when I do). By the way, I'm using Windows 7. This is a very wordy post in order to get all the steps and make it easier to follow. Here goes.
    Devices and Printers/Add Printer - this is so your original printer file does not get damaged. Also you might want to create a Restore Point.
    Before adding your new printer, check under Devices and Printers/right-click current working printer/Printer Properties (not "Properties")/Ports/. Make note of the port that is current being used and working. You will use this same port on the newly added printer.
    Device and Printers/Add Printer/Add Local printer/Under Use Existing Port hold down the arrow at right and select the working port you made note of in step 2.
    Select HP on the left/HP OfficeJet 6500 709a on the far right (this is a generic printer driver specially made to fix printer issues like this)/Next/Do not share this printer/Next.
    Do a test print on plain paper at the end of install.
    Now to print your photo:
    Clean the printer rollers(I cleaned the ones on the back door where you clear a jam) with an electronic cleaning wipe (maybe alcohol and paper towel will work, too). This is because I think the printer has a hard time picking up the heavier glossy paper after some years of collecting soil and dust on the rollers so it slips - just my theory.
    Select the photo/s you want to print. (I was trying to print a simple photo index/contact sheet. 8.5"x11" using Costco paper. The contact sheet in Explorer is located as you scroll down the options on the side). I was printing directly from Windows Explorer window in the folder where the image was located.)
    Print/Select the new printer you just added/paper size 8.5x11/HP Premium Photo Paper/Fit to Picture Frame/Options/Features tab/Borderless unchecked/OK/Print
    Result - a beautiful print like the kind HP is known for. Now, whenever you need to print something on heavy photo paper just select this printer. When finished, go back to your default printer.
    It is my sincere wishes that this helps somebody who has been as frustrated as I have been not getting this feature to work. Now onto the business cards solution...

    Thank you for  the information.  
    Does anyone really think that HP or Avery will print this work around in their documentation?
    Does HP OfficeJet 6500 709a printer exist on all software editions from HP? And how did YOU know that "this is a generic printer driver specially made to fix printer issues like this"? No one else figured that one out- who told  you?
    "Clean the printer rollers(I cleaned the ones on the back door where you clear a jam) with an electronic cleaning wipe (maybe alcohol and paper towel will work, too).This is because I think the printer has a hard time picking up the heavier glossy paper after some years of collecting soil and dust on the rollers so it slips - just my theory." Problem: people have had the HP business card printing problem with brand new printers- certaintly without years of soil or dust on the rollers.
    How should a user, unfamilar with those gyrations you described above, go about using the printer?  The basic issue is that these printers DO NOT work for Avery and other business cards unless you know how to do the actions described.
    "The sheet stock business card printing problem you are having is a well documented process or product defect that newer HP printers seem to have.  Others have said that older HP printers did not have this problem.  I echo that experience also.  There are multiple questions on these forums with various answers (revert to older printer drivers, change paper type chosen in printer setup, change brand of card paper) but the end all is that HP printers or all in ones cannot print Avery business card sheet stock with any type of repeatability or consistency due to the wandering margin issue. It is unknown whether this is a software or hardware issue or or paper issue or combination of these."
    The best solution seems to be to consider a printer that feeds almost straight through versus up and around. If HP has this type of printer you could consider it. Otherwise there are alternative printer brands that feed straight through that may be better for printing sheet stock business cards.

  • Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

    A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
    Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
    On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
    To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
    1st: iWeb media center
    To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
    Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
    Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
    2nd: Drag and Drop
    I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
    As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
    Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.
    http://web.mac.com/phil_navarro/iWeb/Site%202/Drag%20and%20Drop%20test.html
    So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

    Jedi,
    Perhaps you are right.
    I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
    I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
    After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
    I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
    Now I have 2 questions:
    1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
    2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
    TIA,
    Narvon

  • IPhoto Places map home button does not show all photo locations in one extent

    I recently started populating location information for my photos in iPhoto 2011. Some are pre-loaded from my iPhone, but I also manually added locations for other photos/events. Now I have locations assigned both in the U.S. and in Europe, but when I try to view them all in one extent (via the "home" location button on the Places map), the map centers on Europe and I can't even see the U.S. Did I accidentally change a setting for the "home" location on the map? I cannot find a menu that shows options for the "home" location. Is it possible that locations are too far away from each other to see them all at once? If so, is there a way to reset the center of the map so I don't have to pan over from Europe every time I want to look at the U.S. locations (which is 99% of the time)?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I think I figured it out.
    It appears that the iPhoto Places map centers on the extent with the greatest number of individually geo-tagged photos. Rather than centering the map to the area in the middle of all your locations (i.e. one location, one "point"), it actually prioritizes locations by how many individually tagged photos are at that location (i.e. one location, many potential "points").
    Secondarily it may be a screen size issue. When I falsely tag a bunch of photos in Hawaii, then I can only see HI and mainland U.S. (no Asia or Europe).
    I guess Apple assumes you'll want to see most where you have the most tagged photos. This is unfortunate, however, as I tend to tag overseas locations by the entire Event (many photos placed at one location) vs my domestic photos which may or may not have locations. I guess it'll even out over time, but still, it would be nice to be able to set a specific "home" location or viewing extent.

  • N97 Photo GPS Issue

    I've been taking a lot of photos recently using the N97 and have also installed Nokia Image Space. However, photos i've taken are miles out when reviewing the map on Flickr - literally miles out and bear no resemblace to the position the original photo was taken.
    I also use both Nokia Maps and Google Maps - the GPS functions perfectly when using these two apps - I even used Nokia Maps to drive round Portugal.
    Has anyone experienced similar issues when taking photos and found them to be out of position?
    Regards

    Hi, have not had this issue, but add location on Nokia communities app is quite accurate, so maybe its the fault of the app adding the location to the photos !
