What is the best way to edit meta data..

What is the best way to edit meta data and tag photos, faces, places etc. and have the data saved to the original photo.
On a PC I would just use Windows Gallery. iPhoto on the Mac allows for some tagging, but it doesn't save to the original file.
I like to have my photos in a folder, edit them and save the changes.
What software would work best on a MAC to accomplish this?
Thanks for any help,
Nick

iPhoto is a database and any metadata you add or edit is available in any app - if you learn how to use it.
iPhoto is a non-destructive processor. It never touches the original file - it treats it like a film shooter treats the negative.
If you want a copy of the original file with the metadata included simply export a copy.

has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
As an FYI:

The rough description of Preview Window trimming..
a. double click clip in Project Assets to bring up Preview Window
b. move Timeline indicator to beginning of section, hit Set In; move Timeline indictor to end of section, hit Set Out.
c. next you can drag the segment from the Windows to the Timeline audio track and/or drag the segment from the Preview Window to Project Assets to become part of the project's media.
The following should give you some thoughts on the above.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/06/pe11-project-assets-organization-for.html
Although more from a video trimming perspective, the principles apply to an audio clip as well.
Now "delete and close gap" can be interesting depending on what is around the area involved.
Please check out the details on that in the following.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe-delete-and-close-gap-failures.html
Not sure I am clear on
The “delete and close gap” option in the edit menu does not work. Do I have to move the file to the Narration Track on the Timeline to do the actual trimming?
You should be able to trim the narration in the Preview Window opened by right clicking the narration clip in Project Assets and then drag the segment to an audio track or narration track or dragging the trim to Project Assets for source media.
Please check out the above and then let me know if you are OK with the information. If not, let me know where I need to clarify what I have written.
Thanks.

i am giving away a computer, what is the best way to wipe out data prior to depature

Did the Mac come with two grey disks when new? If so, use disk one to erase the drive using Disk Utility and then re-install the OS from the same disk. Once installed, quit and when the new owner boots they can set it up as a new out-of-the-box Mac when they boot it up. The grey disks need to be passed on with the computer.
If you need detailed instructions on how to erase and re-install please post back.
If the Mac came with Lion or Mountain Lion installed the above process can be done using the Recovery HD as since Lion no restore disks are supplied with the Mac.
The terms of the licence state that a Mac should be sold/passed on with the OS installed that was on the machine when new (or words to that effect).

What is the best way to captue current date and time?

I got a field in table to capute current date and time...i am
using SQL Server.
field name datatype length
enter_datetime datetime 8
What is the best way to get current date and time and insert
to table?.
Is this way?.
<cfset curtime = 'dateformat(#now()#,'mm/dd/yyyy')&"
"&timeformat(#now()#,'hh:mm:ss')'>
This way looks like time is not entered correctly.
or any other better way?.

> get current date and time and insert to table?
You can use cfqueryparam
<cfqueryparam value="#now()#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp">
Or as was suggested, set the default for your table column to
getdate(). Then you won't have to insert anything. Sql server will
do it automatically when a new record is created.

What is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac?

what is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac? I don't have a time capsule, so I cannot use time machine.
thanks

Your best bet by far is to use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up to transfer directly from the old one.
It's similar to Migration Assistant, but doing it that way will avoid having an extra user account.
Either way, you can connect them via FireWire, Thunderbolt, or your network, but avoid wireless if at all possible. You can connect both to your netwrork via Ethernet, or put a single cable between the two.
See Using Setup Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion for details.

What is the best way to add "meta tags" in edge?

Trying to add meta tags for search engines, what are the best ways to do this?

With the latest version of Edge (3.0) is still the best practice to edit index.html or is there a better one?
Y try for example...
var meta1 = '<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />';
$(meta1).appendTo("head");
...in creationComplete or in document.compositionReady but I can't see these lines in index.html file, are stored in index_edgeActions.js file.
But maybe that works to attach the meta tags with append to head because it does work fine (and neither are saved in the index.html):
var favicon = "<link rel='shortcut icon' href='images/volicon.png' type='image/png'/>" ;
$(favicon).appendTo("head");
I don't know if Google detect meta tags stored in index_edgeAtions.js or is more recommended to modify index.html manually with notepad.
Maybe the best practice are save and publish Edge project with a name different than index (for example project.an and project.html) and to create an index.html manually with meta tags, code of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, etc., and with HTML meta http-equiv Attribute for to redirect immediately to project.html generate with Edge (remember disallow project.html in robots.txt). In this way is not necessary to modify the index.html file each time that we publish.
How do you see?

What is the best way to edit/sync two video files?

Has anyone had experience with editing 2 movies files? I have recently taken video with 2 cameras of the same quality and am attempting to 'merge' the two video files. What's the best way to 'sync' the 2 files?
Thanks

The real answer is to do this in Final Cut Pro X with the new multicam feature with automatic syncing using the audio wave forms.
However, it is quite possible in iMovie.
Here is how I did it in iMovie.
I recently did this for a video of my niece's senior voice recital. (Video is below)
The key is to use the Cutaway feature of iMovie. If you are not familiar with Cutaway,here is a good tutorial from Ken Stone.
I used the side camera as my base clips, and used the back camera as the cutaway clips. The back camera audio track was OK but had too much coughing and noise.
Here are tips for getting it lined up perfectly.
1) In iMovie/Preferences make sure that you check "Display Time as hh:mm:ss:frames" so you can edit to the frame level. (Also, select "Show Advanced Tools so you get the Cutaway feature)
2) In the iMovie Project View, set the thumbnail slider to 1/2 second so you have a great deal of control.
3) Initially, leave the volume at 100% on the Cutaway track, so that both tracks are playing. You can hear when they are off.
4) Click the "Waveforms" button in the Project view, so you get a visual cue of how to line up the tracks.
5) Between the audible cues and the visual cues, you can nudge the cutaway back and forth one frame at a time by dragging until you have it perfect.
6) When it is lined up to your satisfaction, set the volume slider of the Cutaway track to zero, and turn off the waveforms. You can also move the thumbnail slider back to 5 seconds or so.
7) For some of the fine work, I switched to the "single row timeline view". This slows you down a bit, but lets you see the waveforms more clearly.
8) I made heavy use of the iMovie Comment Marker feature. I watched the whole base video/audio track and inserted comment markers at the points where I wanted the Cutaway to begin and end. For example, a comment might say "Insert Cutaway 1". I would usually time the cutaway so it started at a distinct audio event, such as when the piano start. This comment marker made it easy to drag my cutaway to a point that was approximately correct.
9) If you need to do a lot of cutaways, I find that it helps to use the SPLIT CLIP command in your project. This way you can have a single cutaway per clip, and this makes it easier to manage and is less processor and memory intensive for iMovie. I would use the comments to mark the entry and exit points of the cutaway as described above. I would then select that portion of the clip that included these markers plus a little more, so that a yellow border is around the selection. Then right-click/SPLIT CLIP (or CLIP/SPLIT CLIP in the top menu). This does not physically splt the clip within the Event. It only virtually splits the clip in the project.

What is the best way to edit photos and save changes across devices (without using iphoto)

So I took allot of vacation photos with my iphone and created a photo stream so they can be viewed across devices. Some are dark and I would like to lighten them up and have the changes saved across devices. What is the best way? I originally tried saving all photos to my pc, editing them them, then syncing to all devices via my pc but, this creates 2 folders on my phone, the actual folder with said vacation name and a folder titled "photo gallery" with the exact same photo's. Not sure why it does that.
Any suggestions?

All photos transferred from your computer are saved in the iPhone's Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below include a pointer only to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated as in taking double the storage space.
This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos in all albums by selecting Photo Library. The same applies if you transfer multiple albums or folders of photos, or a single album or folder.
Similar to an iTunes playlist on your iPhone. You can listen to a playlist only by selecting the playlist, or listen to all songs by selecting Music. A song placed in a playlist is not duplicated as in taking up double the storage space.
You can place the edits in the photo stream on your computer, or in the photo stream on your iPhone or other iOS device, and delete the originals in the photo stream prior to the editing.

In Final Cut Express I have two videos I'd like to merge parts of each video into a final film. What is the best way to do this in FCE?

Hi
I use a slightly different way than Alchroma.
Same
• One video on track 1 and the other on Video.track 2
• Resize to 25% and move one to the left and the other to the right
Diff
• I don't use the blade tool
• I use the Pen tool and change the transparency - then I get fast or slow transitions in same stroke and easy to fine-tune later if needed. (But this can be done with the Roll-tool if Blade is used - so it might be as easy)
Final
• Resize to 100% and Center
Video is done
Audio - very close to this by changing the level so that best audio will dominate
• Pen tool here too
But that's me - the Alchroma way is as good as this or may be better for some

What's the best way to read JSON data?

Hi all;
What is the best way to read in JSON data? And is the best way to use it once read in to turn it into XML and apply XPath?
thanks - dave

without having a better understanding of what your definition of "use it" is, this question is essentially unanswerable. Jackson is a fairly popular library for translating json to/from java objects. the json website provides a very basic library for parsing to/from xml. which one is the "best" depends on what you want to do with it.Good point. We have a reporting product ([www.windward.net|http://www.windward.net]) and we've had a number of people ask us for JSON support. But how complex the data is and what they want to pull is all over the place. The one thing that's commin is they generally want to pull down the JSON data, and then put specific items from that in the report.
XML/XPath struck me as a good way to do this for a couple of reasons. First it seems to map well to the JSON data layout. Second it provides a known query language. Third, we have a really good XPath wizard and we could then use it for JSON also.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

What is the best way to edit alert descriptions from Sealed Management Packs?

We have an alert generated from the Exchange 2010 MP. It basically states that the Database Logical Disk Space is running low. We get this alert a lot as log volume varies each day. Alert:

What we'd like to do is edit the subject of the alert to say what the actual value is (in GB for example). What I've been finding is that since the MP is sealed, I'm not allowed to make changes to the alert description.
What is the recommended way to customize sealed MP alerts and descriptions?

Making a change to a sealed Microsoft MP isn't a good idea. If you make a change and then you update the MP down the track you will loose any changes you have made.
When you say edit the subject of the alert, is it the subject in the email notification your talking about or the highlighted value you listed in the alert?
If its the value you highlighted then I don't believe so as this is the raw value returned from the property bag data and this is usually used by other monitors also.
If its the email subject your talking about you can format the E-Mail Notification Channel used and edit E-Mail subject to present the data as you wish in an email.
Cheers,
Martin

What is the best way to get/change data in R/3 from external interface?

Hi SAP gurus,
I have a problem to know what is the best technology to access and maintenance all SAP functionality and data too in R/3 systems.
Anyone know if connectors (.NET or JCO) are the only solution to manipulate all SAP system data or exist other way?
One thing more, what is the best connector, with more functionality?
E.g. The screen painter was made in C++ and is executed by user event in R/3 system, so would like to know if it's exist any way to do the same but replace the screen painter to another custom application?

Hello Vitor
Not all functions and data are externally accessible. Only those business objects (e.g. like sales order, customer, material) for which BAPIs are available (transaction BAPI ) can be accessed via RFC.

What is the best way to remove personal data from the hard drive in preparation for selling my old Mac?

I am going to sell or perhaps donate my old Power Mac G5. Is there an easier, yet comprehensive way to remove my data from the hard-drive? My best approach is dumping anything I do not want found into the trash.
I am running Mac OS 10.5.8 on the powermac G5

For better security than the simple Erase (which does not actually over-write the data blocks, only clears the directory), choose Security Options, and Zero all data, one pass.
After a Zero all data, the only way to recover the data is to dis-assemble the drive in a clean room and use expensive test gear to recover a little of the data. That is good for all but Military Secrets.
If you really trust no one under any circumstances, remove the drive and beat it to death with a hammer.
