Accessing Mobile Me settings from within aperture

Once a mobile me gallery is created, how do you change the settings? For example, changing the group that has access to it or whether users can post images or comments?
I have tried right-clicking on the gallery, but nothing useful there.
Also, I have tried accessing the mobile me panel in preferences, but that does not offer options as well.
I guess if I need to change, I have to log into mobile me and cannot do from aperture?

Do you not see Settings if you select a MobileMe Gallery in Aperture? There is a small menu at bottom right with Settings as one option. You would then need to upload that change.

Opening pdf Version of User Manual from Within Aperture 3

In Aperture 2, I could open the pdf version of the User Manual from the Help Menu. I've downloaded the pdf version of the Aperture 3 Manual and would prefer to open it (instead of the html version) from within Aperture using Acrobat or Preview. Is there a way to set this up .... perhaps with an Applescript or a Service?
Cheers,
Peter O.

Hi Peter
Try this.... http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/ (I realise you already have it)
Click on the Aperture3 User manual Link, when it opens in Safari, go to > File > Print (don't worry) > you then get a drop down menu > click the PDF link (next to the help question mark) > then from the new drop down menu click > Save PDF to Aperture
Peter, I haven't tried this myself so am not sure if it's what you want, let me know if it is what you require, I would be interested to know...
Regards.... Gerry..
Peter I tried it, it only downloaded the first page and let me save it in Aperture as a Project... Not what you needed i'm afraid... back to the drawing board

Is it possible to correct converging verticals from within Aperture?

Need to correct converging verticals can it be done from within Aperture 3.5.1

Need to correct converging verticals can it be done from within Aperture 3.5.1
Sorry, no.
Aperture does not support lens correction or perspective correction.
Aperture can however be extended with plug-ins or use external editors for this kind of correction. You can do lens correction with the PT Lens plug-in, or correct converging verticals with external editors like Photoshop or Gimp.

Need quick TIP: remove "Copy access and configuration settings" from added package

I added a modified package in APPVMAN with the option "Copy access and configuration settings".
Package is unpublished. But shows AD groups as a current package because I used the option "Copy access and configuration settings"
QUESTION:
How to Remove (and then add) the option "Copy access and configuration settings" from added package.
Cannot find it.
Thanks.

sorry for the panic :)
before publishing an updated package to existing groups of initial package I hit the option
"Copy access and configuration settings".
But first I wanted to test it for TEST group. Didn't think that AD settings will be applied (do it first time).
Just to confirm:
1. I will remove current groups from updated(unpublished package)
2. Will add Test group and test the package.
3 In case it is OK I can then add removed(needed) groups.
I want to be sure that after removing and adding needed groups all other settings will be intact.
Thanks.

You Can Now FTP From Within Aperture

Photos can now be FTP'd without leaving Aperture. A new export plug-in available:
http://www.ubermind.com/products/aperturetoftp-pro.php

As William wrote you can;t do this directly from within Aperture you need to use the Finder for the burn.
But one ting in your post caught my eye. You wrote that you
want to burn several of my Aperature Projects
Do you truly mean the project or do you really mean the images that are in the project?
If you want to burn the actual project you would need to export the project as a library and burn the library to DVD.
If you just want the images then do as William wrote.

Is there any downside to using a reference type library if I use Time Capsule and will do file management only from within Aperture?

Have done a lot of reading to get prepared to convert to Aperture 3 and have this question regarding setting up my library type.
I'm not a professional -just a heavy user hobbyist.
It appears that the major factors in using reference style is to backup the images with Time Capsule and always do moves or deletes from within the Aperture application.
If my architecture matters here's what I have that may be involved in photo management and editing:
iMac (latest 27" high power version with lots of memory)
Internal 2TB HD where the library is stored
External (FireWire) 2TB HD where the images are stored
External (FireWire) 6TB HD backup drive
In the future an iPad for remote work on images (when/if available) and a Mac laptop (for same remote use)
I see major downside issues to letting the library manage my files - such as inaccessibility (or awkward accessibility) to the images for other programs, and performance issues when the library gets large (thousands of images or 100+ gb in size)
The chief complaints I've seen regarding using a reference mode is the broken link issues created if file management is done outside of Aperture (adds, deletes, moves of files) and the inability to use the Vault function for backup.
One feature that I imagine I'd like to have is maximum integration with Final Cut Pro X and that's one area I haven't seen much on and would be interested to hear about if that integration is affected with the choice of managed vs referenced library types. (I like to produce film clips that are combinations of pics and video and want to be set up so that is done in the easiest fashion when working in FCP X)
I'm sure I've not seen all sides of this issue and would like to see some discussion around this question.
Thanks to everyone contributing!

Goody, Goody, you hit a few of my favorite subjects! Herewith some comments, with the usual caveats - true to the best of my knowledge and experience, others may have different results, YMMV, and I could be wrong.
I run Aperture on two machines:
-- 2007 Mac Pro with 2x2.66 GHz Xeon, 21 GB of RAM, a 5770 GPU, and multiple HD. I have about 11,000 images, taking up 150 GB. (Many are 100 MB TIFF, scanned slides)
-- 2006 Mac Book Pro with 1 2.0 GHz Core Duo, 2 GB of RAM and a 240 GB SSD.
Two very different machines.
-- Aperture Libraries are all the same - Managed or Referenced. If Managed, then the Master image files are inside the Package, if Referenced, they are outside, and you can have any combination you want. Managed is easier, but Referenced is not hard if you are the least bit careful.
-- While the sheer size of an Aperture Library is not a big issue, the location on disk of the different components can have a tremendous impact on performance.
-- Solid State Drives (SSD) read and write faster than regular Hard Disks (HD) and, what is more important, empty HD read and write much faster than full HD.
-- Aperture speed requires a combination of RAM, CPU, graphics processing unit (GPU) speed, and disk speed. The more RAM you have, the less paging you will see. With enough RAM, the next bottle neck is CPU (speed and cores) and GPU speed. But even then you will still have to fetch an image (longer if you pull the full resolution Master, read and rewrite the Version file, and update the Preview and Thumbs.
So what works?
-- RAM, RAM, and more RAM. 4 GB will work, but you will page a bit. 8 GB is much faster. On my old MacPro the sweet spot was about 16 GB of RAM.
-- Keep your Library on your fastest (usually internal) drive. Keep that disk as unloaded as possible. How do you keep it unloaded? Either buy BIG, 1 TB+ or move your Masters off onto another disk. The good news here is that as Master files are written only once and never rewritten, speed of this disk, as opposed to the disk that holds the Library, is not important. There is a one second pause as the Master is read into memory and, if you have enough RAM, that is it - the Master will never be paged out. If, on the other hand, you do not have enough RAM, and you do a lot of adjusting at full resolution, then the speed of the disk that holds your Masters will become very important due to paging.
-- I found that I picked up a tiny bit of speed by keeping the Masters on a dedicated disk. Thus, in your configuration, if you can dedicate that 2 TB FW HD to your Masters, you should see very nice performance.
Final notes on backups and archives:
-- One conventional wisdom is that you should make an archive copy of every image file before or as you load them into your system. (Aperture in this case.) This archive is then never touched or deleted.
-- An alternative approach is that you do not keep such an archive, but only the images that you have in your Aperture Library. And when you delete from the Library, you no longer keep a copy anywhere.
I do the following:
-- Card to Aperture. Card is then kept at least 24 hours until all of my backups have run. (I use three - Time Machine, Clone, and off site.)
-- I do not keep archive copies. If I decide to delete a file, my only recourse is to recover it from Time Machine during the six month cycle of my Time Machine backups. Thereafter, it is lost.
There are merits to both approaches.
Hope this is clear, correct, and responsive to your needs.

How do I access BSD file tree from within Linux?

I just installed PC-BSD 8.0 RC on an external USB HDD. I went with the PC-BSD default partition layout, i.e. one primary partition for the entire PC-BSD slice, and 4 "partitions" within that slice, for /, swap, /usr and /var.
In order to access the PC-BSD file tree from within Linux, I mount it as follows:
mount -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2,ro /dev/sdb1 /mnt/bsd
But after executing this command I can only access the PC-BSD / , not /usr and /var , presumably because they reside on two BSD "partitions" (subslices) different from / . Is there any way I can mount these (read-only) in Linux, too, or would I have to reinstall PC-BSD and opt for laying out the slice differently, i.e. specifying only / and swap in sdb1?
Last edited by RobF (2010-02-13 11:55:39)

Look at /dev/sdb* there should be more than just sdb1. You would need to mount those to see which is which. For ufs write support the default kernel needs to be recompiled with experimental enabled.

Accessing Datagrid row data from within an itemRenderer

I would like to know how I can access another row's data from within an itemRenderer. I need to do some formatting of my cells based on other row data. Here's what I mean... I have a datagrid and in row 0 col 2's itemRenderer I would like to access row 1 col 1's data in order to do a comparison so I can determine how to format row 0 col 2's data and so on. Is there a way from within the item renderer to reach into another row and access the data? I can't seem to find a clear answer so I thought I'd go to the pro's.
Thanks!!

You can use this code to get to the dataProvider of the grid.
var o:Object = this.parent.parent;
var dp:Object = o.dataProvider;

Accessing cgi env vars from within html db

Hello all
Please can you tell me how to access the variables that are exported to the cgi environment of the apache webserver from within an html db application.
Specifically, I have server ssl enabled on the apache server and want to display one of the exported variables:"SSL_SERVER_S_DN_CN" (=some.server.name) from within my html db application.
Thank you.

"423104",
You can use the OWA_UTIL function to fetch values of CGI environment variables:
select owa_util.get_cgi_env('SSL_SERVER_S_DN_CN') from dual
Thanks,

Relocating iPhoto Masters from within Aperture 3.2.4?

Here's my challenge:
I was running out of room on my MBP 500 GB HD, so I added an external 3 TB drive and relocated some of the Masters from my Aperture 3.2.4 library to the external drive. This gave me about 40 GB additional space on the drive.
Then I realized that most of the space on the disk was taken up by using Aperture 3 with my iPhoto (circa 2007) library (which I never use anymore).
When I attempt to relocate the masters I get a message saying the masters can't be relocated.
I can see the iPhoto events in Aperture, and I want to use Aperture to relocate the iPhoto masters (instead of exporting 10,000 images out of iPhoto).
Also, is there a utility just for upgrading previous iPhoto libraries (without upgrading to iLife 11 which I have no need for)?
Thanks,

Accessing itunes playlists settings from 'time machine' backups

I accidentally changed the volume levels on many tracks and want to access the settings I had on some playlists before, but not loose the new ones done as of late. CAN ANYONE GUIDE ME THROUGH HOW TO DO THIS PLEASE.

After reinstalling OS X and setting up an account, do as follows.
In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-C, or select
Go ▹ Computer
from the menu bar. A window will open showing all mounted volumes. Enter Time Machine. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.

How to delete masters from within Aperture

Hi all,
I have searched the discussion forums for this one, with no luck.
What I want to do is import say 500 images from a shoot, and review them in Aperture. I will delete 200-300 of them. I'd like to look at them in Aperture, and if I don't like the image, delete it. But I want to delete the underlying image file in the filesystem as well.
I have tried File | Delete Original Image and All Versions followed by emptying the Aperture trash and then emptying the system trash. Does not work.
I am on Aperture 3.5.1 and OSX 10.9.2.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

It's a common mistake If you set the import pane to copy the originals into the library (which is the Aperture default) then you wind up with two copies of the original and deleting it from Aperture doesn't delete the original original
As a suggestion start off with managed originals, there is less to deal with while you get use to the rest of Aperture. You can always turn the managed originals into referenced originals down the road by using the Aperture command File->Relocate Originals.

Importing Settings from another Aperture Library?

Hi folks!
I want to create a new Aperture Library to start again instead of cleanning up the one I already have, but when I create a new Library and import the photos the adjustments I did to the same photos but located on the other library doesn't applies or show up in the photos of the new library. Is there a waty to import the adjustments of an old library to a new one?
Thanks in advance,
Ø3

Léonie has provided an excellent answer to your question -- I would like to propose a different solution to your problem.
First, though, we should confirm what your problem is. From your post, it seems that your Aperture _organization_ is a mess, and you want to clean it up. Your proposed solution is to start with a new Aperture Library, and populate it with the Images (including adjustments) that are in your current Library.
An important thing to take from this is that Aperture is _working well_, just, from a human perspective, disorganized.
In other words, you have no computer hardware or software issues you are trying to resolve (Aperture has no idea whether your organization works for you or not).
Instead of creating a new Library and then working with two Libraries, you might be better served by making your entire current organizational structure a child of a top-level Folder in your current Library. That way it is always available and capable of being hidden (use the disclosure triangle that accompanies every Folder to hide and show), and it remains both easy and frictionless to move your Images/Albums/Folders/Projects from the old structure to the new structure.
When you have completed building your new structure, there should be nothing left under the Folder you created for your old structure that you want to save. At that point, delete that top-level Folder. Voila! -- you have the new Library you want.
If your current Library organization is so much a mess that it is going to be easier to "start from scratch" (retaining, of course, all the adjusted Versions), then I suggest using Projects View (set to ungrouped, sorted by date ascending) to merge all your existing Projects into a series of large Projects based solely on date -- keep these to about 1,000 Images each -- and then in essence going through each of these "super-Projects" and breaking them into the Projects that should have been set up all along, viz.: Shoots. Once you have re-sorted all of your Images into new, consecutive, shoot-based Projects, the rest of your Library organization should be much easier.
You can accomplish the same thing, more simply, in Photos View (sort by date ascending; select consecutive Images, "File→New→Project" with "include selected" checked). The users I've worked with have been more comfortable seeing their existing Projects (in Projects View) rather than really starting fresh with every Image in Photos View.
Two notes:
This is based on first creating a sensible and consistant Project-based grouping of your Images.
Your Images contain the adjustments needed to make them. Nothing here changes that. All you are doing is changing the containers that hold your Images. (If the Image is table-setting, you are putting down a new table-cloth, and centerpiece, and table, and building a new dining salon, and castle, and grounds -- without changing the table-setting at all.)
This is complicated, but doesn't endanger your data (and, of course, you DO have a backup, right?). Post back with any questions.

Can I access the file name from within an action?

Hiya Y'all;
I have an action written that batch opens a bunch of files, resizes the canvas of the frontmost, pastes the rest in, &etc., resulting in a montage. I would love to be able to access the names of the files used to create the montage, paste them in from the clipboard using the text tool, and thus label each pic. I can access the same general functionality through the File>Automate>Contact Sheet II command, but I then have little control over how PS resizes the images, and since my file names are often >32 characters, Contact Sheet II truncates the names in a silly way.
I really would prefer not to have to use Applescript or Javascript, but I'm getting the feeling that I may have to. Is it possible to use AS to put the name in the clipboard, call the action from the script, and do that each time I paste in a new image? I can't do it once, since I will have six file names that each need to be pasted in . . .
Hope y'all have some advice,
R

Thanks everyone . . . I use Chris's solution, setting it up in an action that is called by Applescript. It works great, though it takes noticeably more time to run the script (I think it has to load and be interpreted each time).
I haven't tried Michael's suggestion, but, bottom line, you guys ROCK! It's amazing to have an obscure technical question answered in a day or so, and continuing interest from other good folk.
Thanks to you all!

I have two creative cloud accounts one for work and one is my personal, can I access files and settings from both on one computer?

Basically I have had my creative cloud account for over a year and recently at work they just set me up with one. Can I keep both active on the same computer? My home laptop is sometimes used to do work so I would like to access files on either cloud drive as well as share program settings.
Thanks in advance!

This is essentially my question as well - I have a personal CC account and I would like to use my personal libraries on my work computer.
Since that involves signing in to CC on my work computer, I am wondering if that will mess up my employer's CC license on my computer (or in general)
Anyone at Adobe have an opinion on this question?
