I have 21,000 photos stored in iphoto. I have a WD 1.5TB backup external hard drive. What is the best way to erase about half of my photos on my internal hard drive?

I have 21,000 photos stored in iphoto. I have a WD 1.5TB backup external hard drive. What is the best way to erase about half of my photos on my internal hard drive?

Here's one way to do what you want:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

If the Mac came with Mountain Lion or Lion, press Command, Option and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, erase the disk and reinstall Lion or Mountain Lion. If it came with Snow Leopard or older, insert the DVD, press C key on boot, go to Utilities > Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard

How many systems have you used Robert?
This is the only system you can not have all item data at least in JSON format and all of it. Big commerce has a lower limit and as I have said in every post related to a limit - I understand the function, but you can still make the requests as just one example (front and back)
Same with API Robert.
Firstly - the SOAP API request on say products gets you ALL the products, if you do something through a REST API request you can make the requests to get all the items to complete your process of what your doing - You have to otherwise the API is pointless.
Ok if the normal modules can not iterate through if there is a module_data solution, and web apps will get there hopefully sooner then later and you do have the sql query (where) for your filter which is great BUT, if you want to implement a solution across everything you cant do that with the liquid implementation.
This also flows through to the JSON everywhere in concept which is fundamentally flawed for the same reason... And again referring other like services where a hard API has a limit but the JSON request returns everything.
How those work varies from the method of request, some will only update every day, xxx time (Depending on cost of the plan) so its a cached version of data, to the ones that limit that request to x number of times per set time/day.
That is how the actual rest of the world works, varied solutions but they are solutions. BC know they have a few limitations, there clearly is the need for things, there are a varied set of options... It is just a matter of engaging in it and offering up a solution for it, silence just creates frustration.

What's the best way to erase content but not the applications?

I'm giving away my iMac to my niece. I want to erase all my content files, libraries ,etc., but not the applications. What's the best way to do this, and to do it securely?

If you have Downloaded and Upgraded to Lion See...
Here is an excerpt of the SLA; the Lion license (purchased from MAS) is NOT transferable. The SLA is quite clear:
B. If you obtained your license to the Apple Software from the Mac App Store or on Apple-branded physical media, it is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to athird party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware beforedoing so, and you may restore your system to the version of the Apple operating systemsoftware that originally came with your Apple hardware (the “Original Apple OS”) andpermanently transfer the Original Apple OS together with your Apple hardware, provided that:(i) the transfer must include all of the Original Apple OS, including all its component parts,printed materials and its license; (ii) you do not retain any copies of the Original Apple OS, fullor partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; and (iii) the partyreceiving the Original Apple OS reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of theOriginal Apple OS license.
Now Proceed...
Boot from the original OS installer disk and do an Erase & Install.
When the Mac reboots into Mac Setup Assistant Quit and shut it down.
When the New Owner Boots it up it's a brand new Mac... just like when you got it.
( The Original Install Disc(s) should also be included with the sale )

What's the best way to erase a hard drive?

I just switched all my "stuff" to my new Macbook and I want to erase everything off my old G4. Never done it before. Nervous. What's the best way?

Boot to an Install CD.
Run Disk Utility (X) or Drive Setup (9).
Initialize the hard drive with the Write Zeroes or Zero all data option.
It takes a long time, do not plan on doing anything for a few hours.
-- your disk is now completely blank --
Install any version of Mac OS, such as the one on the Installer CD. This allows the new recipient to see that your Mac still works, so it should not be immediately crushed.
Unless you have nuclear secrets on it, there is no need for 7x or 35x overwriting. After the Write Zeroes pass, your data is only recoverable to those who wish to disassemble it in a clean room with expensive special equipment.
For the extremely paranoid, there is always the "Hammer method":
Remove the hard drive.
Beat it to death with a hammer.
Remove the platters and use them to make a wind chime.
(Once opened, a Hard drive has a short time before the heads will crash and ruin some of the data, and possibly the heads themselves.)
Deleting all the files, which takes only a minute or two, only clears the Directory. It does not write over the data blocks. Simple programs like Norton Utilities can get the files back.

What is the best way to install new version... adobe always leaves stuff behind from the old version

Hi,
I've gone through the installation of a new version, well... 8 times before. And have noticed that adobe has the nasty habit of not cleanly uninstalling the previous versions...
What is the best way to do this?
Should I do a regular install and trust adobe this time to completely remove the old version and its associated directories?
Or should I uninstall the old version and install the new one? I've always been afraid to go this route bocause of the organizer files.
Thanks for your comments.

So, just to be clear: the "proper, Adobe-recommended" way to go about an upgrade would be to install the new version and THEN remove the older version by means off "Add/Remove programs" ??
Thanks to all for your help.

What is the best way to be able to run certain websites that aren't supported by safari, firefox, and chrome, in other words only internet explorer?

I really need to do a class online but it wont save progress because it is not supported by safari and only works with internet explorer. What is the best way around this?

Try this with Safari ...
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the menu bar again click Develop > User Agent
Try IE 9, 8, or 7.
An alternative is to create a partition on the Mac hard drive and install Windows using Boot Camp but that is a long and drawn out process and you would need to purchase an Window install disc.

What is the best way to allow two designers, working in different locations, to have access to the same muse site?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to share access to a muse site so that two different designers can be responsible for different features of the site. e.g., one is responsible for photo galleries, the other is responsible for shopping cart. Is there a way to do this?

Hi
Please check the following thread,
How can multiple users from different locations access my Muse website files to update them?

What's the best way to display my lightroom pictures onto my TV via Apple TV? i..e make a slide show

This was done flawlessly with aperture but Apple doesn't like non-apple products so I was not sure if there was an easy way to do this?
I want to choose pics from my various collections and see them on my tv using apple tv. I would rather not COPY the pics to a new location since there are many many gigs of pics and they are all stored on my networked drive. Anyone using a Mac and apple tv manage to figure out how to do this with Lightroom 5?

Ok - see if I can do it 'the hard way' ....
Hi Jeff,
By "Output Only Folder”, I am suggesting a folder that you export to, via LR, and then never re-import it … it’s just a place to dump the images and since you can re-create them any time, you could delete it at will.
Here’s the Export Dialogue I have setup from LR to iPhoto …. The optimal output dimensions are 1920 x 1080. If you crop each image to that ratio, which is the same as 16 :: 9, then the images will fill the screen. Otherwise just let one of the dimensions max out and the other will fall suit to 1920 or 1080 or lower as the case may be and it will map onto the Plasma at 1 :: 1 – so the Apple TV won’t have to scrunch it again.
My output dialog follows. Note that it sets it up to go under Users/Jim/Caches/iPhoto Cache and then I setup a sub-folder name right underneath which I change (it’s Merc in this example). So, this becomes the folder in iPhoto – and I can move that into an album or not as I wish. See the iTunes screen shot a little further down. The dimensions are setup to 1920 x 1080 at 100%. The last section, under Post Processing, causes the folder to get read by iPhoto as soon as the Export finishes running and, voila, they are in iPhoto. I can then clean iPhoto out when I wish. Yes, it’s a duplicate – but these JPEG’s are smaller than the raws….maybe 300-400kb.
(side note – the LR Mogrify section is a section you will NOT likely have – it’s merely a plugin I have that allows me to put some borders around output images, watermarks and so forth as the last step in the process – strictly optional but occasionally useful. It’s not expensive – just google for it)
Then here’s how it looks when it arrives a second or two later in iPhoto. So, you can manage these into Albums, etc. Then look to the bottom for the iTunes interaction.
From the iTunes menu, select File | Home Sharing | Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV
Then …..
Note in the left panel, I have checked Last Import – where this photo was – but you could move/arrange the photos into new Albums and then they would show up and you could select them. After you select then and Apply, turn on your Apple TV – and it may take a few minutes to sync up. But then it’s done and you can choose Transitions and so forth on the ATV to nicely display them.

What's the best way to wipe user info on OSX without doing a clean install of the OS

Hello,
I am going to give my old imac to my nephew so I want to delete myself as an Administrator and user (ie, remove all traces of my personal info). However I DO NOT want to delete all the installed applications I have installed over the years as they are useful to him.
Should I just set up a new admin and delete mine or are there other things I can/should do to 'clean out' myself from the system? (preferences, etc.)
Thank you!

How about my old emails? In addition to Mail, I used to use Thunderbird. Are there any special places that I need to delete files from for those apps?
Yes old emails are gone. No special places for Thunderbird, emails are kept in the User account folder.
And finally, if he wants to keep my itunes music, can i just drag my itunes folder into his account prior to deleting my account?
This is a copyright violation in most cases unless the music is free of that or the license allows it.
You should deauthorize the iTunes account in the User accounts being deleted, copy protected iTMS content won't play on his account. iTMS music is not copy protected but there is a 5 machine/device limit.
You can transfer music and other files to his account through the Finder > Computer > Macintosh HD > Users > His account > Public > Dropbox that will change the user permissions on the files.
Any iTMS purchased content is digitally signed with your personal information embedded into the files themselves.
If your nephew goes and P2P's your files, you could be held liable for copyright infringement.
If the music files are cd rips, then there is a good chance they are not digitally signed, however Apple might have done something to the files in the background to assist the RIAA against piracy.
There is a 5 device limit to iTMS content, so technically since he's family you can control that and it's included in the iTMS content license, but that doesn't apply to cd rips.
He might not like your music anyway and then seek to share it to get more he does like. So it depends upon the skill level of your nephew if he will do that or not.
Set up his account on the machine, maintain dual accounts until it's all set up, then log into his and delete your account.
Copy protected apps with one machine licenses that "phone home" you will have to either delete or buy another license for the new machine if it's a Mac.

What's the best way to erase and reinstall Lion?

I'm a little confused by the various posts I've read about erasing and reinstaling lion.
My MBP is about 4 years old. I upgraded to lion last summer and it never worked great, but over the last 3-6 months its been dragging. I want to start fresh. I've uploaded all of my personal files to a sky drive and then copied all of my extremely irreplaceable photos to two other hard drives. Now I'm just fuzzy about my next step.
I've read I need to make a boot disk, or a thumb drive or I can do it right from my system. I don't care which way or what I need, but I want it fresh with no chance of curroption.
Thanks for any and all direction.
Josh

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

Im selling my new MBP, and I want to know the best way to erase everything?

I have a MBP that is just a few months old, and I need to sell it.
I intend to reinstall Leopard, fresh, and then hand it off to the buyer...
Can I do an Erase and Reinstall, and then power it down at that point, so the buyer can put in all of their info?? (like a brand new Mac).
Is there a good way to do this, so that all of my stuff is gone, and then the buyer can start fresh??
Thanks
D

Yep. Start up your MBP from your startup DVD. Once it loads, choose exactly as you've written above. Erase and Reinstall.
If it makes you feel more comfy, I'd recommend selecting Disk Utility from your menu items at the top of your screen once you've started your MBP from the DVD. Open up D.U. and erase your drive that way. You can even choose to "zero out" your drive...which really wipes it clean. (this will take a while to do)
Then install the Operating System.

I photo pics are in album, but need to upload from add item page on etsy. Cannot find where the pics are in my computer. I did put a name on each one. What is the best way to save an individual pic to be able to find it on the computer so as to upload?

I have an online etsy shop. There is a page on which to list a new item to be added to one's shop. When it is time to upload the pic or pics, I cannot find them,eventhough each has a name and all are in an i photo album. On my old computer I would "save as" and then could find it easily in my computer. In the new mac I just got, I cannot easily find the pic when trying to upload. Could you tell me an easy way to save each pic so that I can find it for uploads to that site? Thanks in advance. OS is Snow Leopard. Whatever i photo came with that would be the product I am using.

The following is from a post by Terence Devlin on accessing photos for use outside of iPhoto. It's the definitive treatise on the subject.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3.Show File:
a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
b. On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
