Accessing Organizer Tags, etc. in other programs?
I'm currently using Photoshop Elements 5.0 and would like to share my photos - including the Organizer tags, "file dates" (i.e., the ones I have manually updated in Organizer), captions, etc. - with family members who are not using Elements. Is there any way to copy the Organizer data into the jpg, tif, and psd files themselves (IPTC data?) so that the data can be accessed by others?
I would have tried to forum's search facility first, but it was "down".
The Organizer command File > Write Keyword Tags will write keyword tags, date, caption, notes, and rating into the file's metadata. Note however that it is buggy in all versions of PSE, sometimes failing to write the data or writing it incorrectly, and it doesn't handle all file formats correctly (e.g. Quicktime video). When it fails, it fails silently with no error.

Windows 8 and User Rights - Access store but not install other programs
Hi, I wonder if someone can help,
I am trying to find out if it is possible through Active Directory to set up a group policy so that a user will be able to install apps from the windows store but be unable to install any other applications. I have seen that the store can be enabled or disabled
from windows server 2012, but have yet to find out if this is sufficient to allow store installs but no other external applications.

Let me start by saying I have been using FCP X for a year now and really love it. We produce a half hour weekly TV series so I put it through its paces on a weekly bases.
I was horrified to return from the holidays to find out that an automatic update yielded a whole new file system. By packaging all of the Final Cut Event and Project folders into a single library file you can no longer access the original media from other programs such as Photoshop and After Effects without making two copies of all of the media. This really cuts into the pipeline. In the past we were able to recreate new show opens and transitions quickly from within After Effects by linking to the original media in the event folders to use them as source files in compositions. The same was true of grabbing frames from Original movies for use in Photoshop for promotional materials. With the use of the Libraries, ALL OF THE LINKS ARE BROKEN. Yes I know you can right click on a library and still view the files, yes they are still there, but you can't do that from within another program.
This Library system doesn't make any sense. Its a step back from the old system. It was much easier, quicker, and efficient to move large event libraries and projects off and on the system and backup using Finder. Now you have to open up Final Cut to do everything and its a lot slower.
I want to appeal to any Apple developers who monitor this to return to the old system of file management.Media does not have to be stored inside the library. Use the Consolidate library or event to move it to an external location.

All of a sudden I can't access my iPhoto files from any other programs (ie Photoshop, facebook etc.). It just gives me this message below. What the **** changed? This wasn't happening yesterday.
1 - close iPhoto.
2 - go to your Pictures folder and open the iPhoto Library package as shown below:
3 - locate a file named AlbumData.xml and move it to the Desktop.
4 - launch iPhoto.
5 - relaunch the other programs and try the media browser again.

Accessing my iphotos w/ other programs?
Hi there, I'm a very new Mac user. I transitioned over from the PC just about a month ago. For the most part, the transition has been fairly easy, and "welcome" but there are a couple of areas where it's hard in the coming... and my pictures & and video are definitely 2 of those areas.
My question right now is, *if I use other programs* (or even iPhoto) *to edit my pictures, do I lose the original?* Where does the original "go"? Or, better yet, where does it "stay"?
As a 20+ year veteran of the PC I have to admit I've learned the hard way when it comes to leaving all my valuables in one location. My pictures and family video are definitely considered my most prized possessions. One of my biggest personal struggles with my transition to the Mac is knowing that iPhoto is basically controlling my pictures - all... in ONE... location. It makes me very uneasy. My lack of ease is most closely associated with feeling like I may lose the original photos when I make changes to them.
I am really unclear as to how this works - how the original photo is preserved, most particularly because I can't get into the folders and root around in the files myself like I could with my PC. iPhoto has it's great points, but I've seriously considered having a windows OS installed on my Mac purely for the use of my PC's ACDSee photo viewer. And... from what I've read on the internet during my search for this answer (It's been on my mind since the first day I booted up my beautiful brand new iMac) there are many an-ex-PC user mourning this same loss, lol.
*Help? When I edit in ANY program... do I lose my original??*First - the good news is that with iPhoto managing your photos it is very easy to back them up - and you must do that - both to an external drive and once in a while to dvd
As to editing
first let me describe how iPhoto handles your photos irrespective of who edits them
when you import a photo, iPhoto places the original in an originals folder within the iPhoto library (DO NOT GO IN AND MODIFY ANYTHING WITHIN THE iPhoto library EVER - you can LOOK but do NOT TOUCH) and makes a thumbnail that it places in the data folder. Any time you edit a photo using iPhoto OR using an external editor properly linked to iPhoto (more on this in a minute) there is a modified version created and it is kept in the modified folder.
At any time you can select a photo and revert to original eliminating all changes and being back to a virgin photo just the way it was imported. Also as you make multiple edits iPhoto always applies your edits to the original so multiple edits do not degrade your photo quality - you are never more than one step from the original (pretty cool!)
To proper use an external editor simply go to the iPhoto menu ==> preferences ==> general and under the edit in selection select "in external editor" and now when you edit your photo will be passed to the external editor of our choice and when you save it (NOT SAVE AS) it will come back into iPhoto as a modified and iPhoto will update the thumbnail and save the original (as described above)
If you want to use both the iPhoto editor (a pretty good editor for most purposes) and sometimes an external editor - after you select your external editor change the edit in window back to "in main window" and now if you double click or click edit you will use the iPhoto editor and if you right click (control click on a single button mouse) you will get a contextual menu allowing you to select the external editor (and as usual, you save - not save as - when you are done
there also often is a question on how to access your photos form other programs - see Terence Devlin's discussion in this thread for a complete discussion of that - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1371662&tstart=15 - or look here
Help? When I edit in ANY program... do I lose my original??
So in a word - NO! - if you use the iPhoto external editor feature
If you were to go into the iPhoto library directly you would and might lose albums etc - you just can not directly change the contents of the iPhoto library except using iPhoto ( or an iPhoto aware program like iPhoto library Manager)

Firefox 3.6 doesn't open links clicked from other programs (IM, etc.,)
Whenever I try to open a link from either my IM or an IRC program like mIRC it won't open in firefox. I have to copy and paste the link.
I now have FireFox 32.0.2 no joy. I have loaded ThunderBrowse which took care of Thunderbird but still can't load links from other programs. I fixed this before (other backups, I crashed my windows C drive and have been trying to restore), but can't remember how. I think it required reloading IE (I had deleted IE on my latest restore), but I have now done that with no joy.
When I click on a link from another program, nothing happens, and when I right click and am offered "open in browser" nothing happens, and when offered " copy browser link" it doesn't copy.
I tried resetting FireFox, no joy.
Noticed control panel "set program access" doesn't hold, always goes back to custom, and defaults to "uses default browser"!

How do I access iPhoto files from other programs (i.e. PhotoShop Elements)
From within many programs, specifically PhotoShop Elements or Adobe Bridge tonight, I navigate to "iPhoto Library" and can not access the files within the library to use in these programs. I can get there from within Finder, just not other programs. This is extremely frustrating...can someone please help?
Of course - it is a database and you must use the correct access methods
and for a photo editor like PSE you also need to explain what you are trying to do
IF -- you want to edit photos within the iPhoto library then simply set PSE as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences - then you edit and save (not save as) and the database is automatically updated -- if you want to choose iPhoto or PSE as the editor then after setting PSE as the external editor set the external editor back to in main window and now normal editing will be in iPhoto but by right clicking on a photo in iPhoto you get a menu allowing you to use PSE for it
IF - you are generally asking and want the general answer - all open (or attach) dialogue windows have the media browser in the lower left - look under media ==>pictures ==> iPhoto but if you use this method you can not just return photos to iPhoto - you must save as and then import into iPhoto

I can't Start, Uninstall of Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: "Window Installer Service could not be accessed". No other programs having similar problem. Any suggestions how to fix it?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

In Bridge I cannot find Lightroom as a program to open files. All the other programs like photoshop etc are indicated?
You would go into Preferences > File Type Associations and from the dropdown menu and choose "Browse" to get to Lightroom.
So yes you can set files that Lightroom supports to open from Bridge into Lightroom.
But I don't think you'd want to.
Lightroom is a standalone product for a Photography workflow. Bridge is a manager for Creative suite products like Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign. Basically web and print design workflows.
Bridge is not a manager for Lr because Lr has it's own catalog system.
Lightroom is not a Creative Suite product.
Bridge does use Adobe Camera Raw to make adjustments, but move those adjusted files into Lr, you have to make a decision whose settings stay.
This video should explain the difference.

Firefox hangs and will not allow me to access other programs running when I resize a pop up window, move a pop up window, accidentally right click flash content.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Not sure when it statrtedHi.
When this happens, please press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and see how much RAM and CPU Firefox is using. If they're sky high, then... Well, that kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
#run Firefox in safe-mode to disable all extensions and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix you issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas. Except make sure you've followed my instructions correctly. -
in iPhoto 09 Info does not show tags on aperture, time, iso etc. Other tags like place, pixels are shown. There is no little arrow on this info menu to go to full info box. How come ?
It does. Photos Menu -> Show Extended Photo Information.
Then note the disclosure arrows as indictaed in this thread:

hi, I need the program of access from the office, so i'm going to but the Microsoft office 365 university, will i have to but any other program to use the access from my mac? or to open any database that I will have did from any other computer (not mac)?
There has never been a Mac version of Access. Microsoft never created one, realising that it was very inferior to the FileMaker Pro database application.
So if you must run Access you will have to run Windows on your mac. -
Accessing Photos Through Other Programs
Hopefully this is not a stupid question and that it actually makes sense. I recently updated my iphoto library. Yesterday a photo was sent to me through messenger on my iphone. I saved that photo to my phone and then imported it into my computer. Since it's a picture of my relatives and not of me, I don't feel comfortable uploading it to social media and wanted to just share it directly with a friend through skype. However, I find that when I try to locate a file within my mac so that I can upload it to sites and programs of my choosing, I can no longer access my photo library. Oh, I can find the photo library, but it's not accessible from other programs. I don't want to import the photo through iphoto into mail, messages, airdrop, twitter, facebook, linkedin, vimeo, flickr, 'add to photos', or add to aperture or any of the other options. It's my photo so I should be able to do whatever I want with it.
So, my question is: how in the world do I access the file itself, and send it to somewhere not on the sharing list? And specifically, can I access that file and do anything with it from outside iphoto at all?The drag and drop portion of that does work.
Although I will admit that the accessing them through the 'media' and 'photos' thing when you try to open a file through other programs 100% is no longer an option. The only thing you'll find in there is photo booth. Also the '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.' is no longer an option. I don't know about the other options because I didn't try. But so far in order to just be able to access the file however I want to, dragging and dropping it to the desktop is the only thing I've found that works. -
Will LR tags show up in other programs?
If I ever decided to stop using LR and switch to some other program, what type of metadata would be included with all of my images? I really only use LR to add tags to each image. Would these tags show up for my images in other programs?
Thanks.You have to instruct Lightroom to write the tags to the files (or in the case of RAW, sidecar files).
Select the desired files and then Metadata->Save Metadata to File
