Album sharing and saving

The process of creating an album is quite straightforward and results in a nice way to organize subsets of photographs.   They are easily viewed within PSE9 and will readily sync to my iPad.    However, when I try to save one to a dvd or to a hard drive I get a very curious result.   I get a plethora of files but they aren't viewable in any logical way.    I have created a dvd and when I look at the files, explorer shows about 20 mB of files but if I look at the properties of the dvd it shows about 280 mB.    I can't seem to just click on anything on the dvd to have the album display and when I put it in the dvd player I get a very strange menu with no good choices for viewing the album.
What I would like would be to use the album function to select the photos that I want to use but I don't need a template or any other enhancement.   I would like to keep a set of albums and put them on media players, burn cd/dvd's to give them to friends and post them to Picasa or Facebook.
Like everything else Adobe, this seems obtuse and non-intuitive.   Do I have the entire concept wrong?

Thank you, but what is created when I burn a dvd directly from clicking on the album name and what do I get when I select the share tab?

Sharing and saving iphoto libraries

My MacBook is about to die. I have found my iphoto library under shared libraries on my iMac. How do I save my whole iPhoto library to this computer?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
By default, the iPhoto Library lives in the Pictures Folder. Drag it from there to the iMac.
I have found my iphoto library under shared libraries
That's not a Location, it's just a list of Libraries. Work from the Pictures Folder.

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my ipad2 thinking i could retrieve it from my windows pc. I have turned on home sharing and can see my pc library from the ipad but not vice-versa. Is there any way to transfer the album from my ipad library?

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?

Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

ITunes 9 - Home Sharing Settings and Saved Game Data?

The new "Home Sharing Settings" feature to automatically transfer applications from one home computer to another is great. However, it seems like there is a huge omission with this feature if you can't transfer your game settings and saved data when you use this option as a way to change computers to sync an iTouch or iPhone.
Here's my scenario: originally had iTunes on a Windows PC to purchase and sync up my iTouch. Recently bought another iMac and want to use it as my "master" computer to sync up my iTouch. Used the Home Sharing Settings feature to quickly copy all of my songs (with ratings) and apps from the PC to the Mac. Everything great so far.
Purchased a few more apps in the iTunes store on the iMac. Plugged in the iTouch to copy the new apps, but of course it wants to delete everything and start over (to be expected I guess). But with that I assume all of my saved game data in my 50+ apps will be lost!
Any suggestions?

UPDATE: I've now authorized my laptop with my fiance's itunes account and my personal iTunes account, this is key.
I'm now able to transfer songs from either her laptop or my iMac (where my music is stored for now) as long as the current logged-in Home Sharing account is active. So it's basically like logging into an ftp server, only one connection allowed at a time.
So just turn off Home Sharing and then turn it back on again, re-enter the other systems iTunes account info and there you go, you can transfer from that one now. Of course this would be simpler if you were just merging two computers/accounts instead of adding in a 3rd laptop like my experiment. You should just have to make sure all computers involved (up to 5) are authorized for all the iTunes accounts involved.
And yes using the settings button with in the home sharing window, you should be able to automatically sync any new purchases from the current shared account, music, movies, apps, etc.

Two 'everyone' accounts in sharing and permissions, privilege is set to custom, saving files not possible! Help Please!

Hi!
I have an issue where many files have multiple users named 'everyone' in the get info dialogue box.
The first listed 'everyone' has custom access instead of read and write access.
This means that I can not save files without individually selecting them and changing this permission flag.
I have tried selecting folders and applying to enclosed items, I have turned off file sharing for the drive (it is a second hard drive installed via an optibay equivilent) and am getting frustrated having to unlock each indiviual file.
As you can see, there is a second everyone account.
This account does not appear on folders, so I can't apply changes to a group of files. If I select a group of files with the issue all sharing and permissions options are greyed out and can't be changed.
Is anyone else suffering from this, it is a new issue since upgrading to lion.
Thanks!
James

Hey stool,
Yeh so I took my Mac to the guy from the authorized repair shop thingo, and the guy was like helpfulness = 0
He had no idea what it was and offered to take it in for 24hours. I tole him no since I need my laptop for school work! So he said well we we could do a fresh install which in my case did NOT work!
So I'm still stuck with the same problem, 4 hours wasted for the fresh install and a repairman who has no idea what to do!
Oh well!
I'm going to go back to googling!

Album sharing gone in Aperture iPhoto

With the latest releases of Aperture and iPhoto, album sharing seems to be gone. I used to be able to go to Preferences in Aperture, share selected Albums and see them on other computers on the network in the Media brower or directly in iPhoto. Am I remembering wrong or has this feature gone away?
With Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto 9.2.3 libraries can be opened by either, but that's not convenient for merging photos from one computer to the other. Our situation is that both my wife and I take pictures, I use Aperture and she uses iPhoto. We both create Albums and sometimes we want the other person's photos.

I just ran into the same problem. I was going to switch to Aperture completely until iPhoto went from 5 to 6. It has a lot of the new features that Aperture has but there are still some awesome features in Aperture that I can't live without. One thing Aperture is missing is that it doesn't check for duplicates when importing pics. So what I decided to do is use iPhoto as my importer (whether from a camera or folder), and then use Aperture's import menu to import the rolls or pictures I want. If you haven't tried it out yet, do so. It is really awesome since it lets you select the rolls as they are saved in iPhoto and gives you a preview of each picture.

Saving NSDatePicker to a string and saving that to NSUserDefaults...

Saving NSDatePicker to a string and saving that to NSUserDefaults I have it saved to a string then I have code that should save it to NSUSerDefaults so that when the program starts it is saved as the string not null. Here is the code [CODE]#import "MainView.h"

why can't I have the prefs saved in the .h
You can save that address in an ivar if you want to, but there's no purpose to that. The standardUserDefaults object is a +shared class object+. It's like a dictionary object that's maintained for your program by the NSUserPreferences class. You can read from or write to it at any time for the duration of your program. So whenever you get the shared object's address [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults], you're just getting the address of that same object each time.
In case the above doesn't make sense, I ran across a good explanation by Danneman in the last message on this page: [http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/18716-set-settings-va riable-code.html].
When I did that as you so wisely pointed out it didn't work but when I saved it at each point I needed it it works.
When you change two things at once it's easy to forget the first and assume the second change solved the problem. Actually, I don't think saving prefs in your ivar had anything to do with your bug. What fixed it was getting a pointer to the shared std defaults object in this method:
-(void)permsavedattime
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; <-- get the shared object
tddate=[prefs stringForKey:@"testing"];
tdtime=[prefs stringForKey:@"timetesting"];
dateoutput.text =[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%@",tddate];
Without the first line of the above, I'm fairly sure that your prefs ivar was nil. I didn't see any code that initialized that ivar prior to the first time userdefaultdate ran. It looked to me like permsavedattime ran at start up, well before prefs was set in userdefaultdate. If you're interested in backtracking, restore the file to the way it was when you posted, then add a NSLog() like this:
-(void)permsavedattime
// NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; <-- get the shared object
NSLog(@"prefs=%@", prefs);
tddate=[prefs stringForKey:@"testing"];
tdtime=[prefs stringForKey:@"timetesting"];
dateoutput.text =[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%@",tddate];
I wish to save lets say five different things to NSUSerDefaults would I be able to do it all with my NSUserDefaults prefs or would I have to create a another one for some of them?
You know the answer to your second question now, right? The important point is that you're never creating the shared object, you're just asking for its address whenever you need it.
Btw, there's another user defaults method you should know about: The synchronize method writes the data to disk. You might want to do that when your app is ready to exit. E.g., in the app delegate:
- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application {
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[prefs synchronize];
Although the docs suggest synchronize when the app is about to exit, I'm not sure it's necessary. I think the system might write the defaults out to disk anyway when the app terminates, but not sure about this. +User Defaults Programming Topics for Cocoa+ says:
On Mac OS X v10.5 and later, in applications in which a run-loop is present, synchronize is automatically invoked at periodic intervals. Consequently, you might synchronize before exiting a process, but otherwise you shouldn’t need to.
The above is in the iPhone edition, so I think it applies.
It might also be a good idea to update the data and call resetStandardUserDefaults in didReceiveMemoryWarning. I'm not clear about the need for reset either though, since the system may do that for you as well. But on a memory warning, you would definitely want to update the user default data if some of it is stored in an object to be released. You can find out how your app behaves on a memory warning by selecting Hardware->Simulate Memory Warning from the iPhone Simulator menu.

2 things: iPhoto isn't automatically copying all my imported photos into an iPhoto album folder AND ever since i upgraded my MacBook 120GB to Snow Leopard, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone.

So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
Never had a problem with it.
I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
Never had a problem with it.
I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
Never had a problem.
1.
Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
iTunes Helper is used during startup.
Everything seems fine.
Any help?
2.
I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
They haven't been transfering over.
So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
I do not know why.
No idea how to fix it.
If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
Can anyone please help me with any of this?
I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
Thanks so much.

hey mill1640,
Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Josh

HT202786 my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

Deleted photo and thumbnail still shows up in album view and camera roll

Hi, whenever i delete a photo on either my ipad(2) or iphone(4s), the thumbnail of the deleted photo still shows up in the album view and camera roll.
Also, a picture that i deleted months ago (have saved other photos since then, and replaced the thumbnail) from my ipad randomly showed up in the album view and camera roll??
I have IOS 5.0.1 installed on both iphone(4s) and ipad(2).
Is this a software glitch or??
thanks

Sounds like a damaged database fie:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Lost all album info and cannot retrieve it!!!

I purchased my first ipod nano (4gb) and have spent absolutely ages transferring music and saving from cds onto my laptop (wimdows vista) and purchasing from itunes store. Then, all the album info has been lost! I've tried to 'Get album info' and had friends who use itunes with their ipods but no one knows what to do. Can anybody help me please?

Thanks for the clarification, Shaney boy.
Although it still strikes me as a very unusual situation. Because in addition to the Song Names themselves, the Artist and Album names (along with a variety of other information) are all stored in the actual music files.
And offhand I can't imagine why that information would either disappear from the files or become non-existant as far as iTunes is concerned.
Just a few questions:
I'm assuming the CD's were imported with iTunes, can you confirm whether or not that is the case?
Is it just the information that is disappearing, i.e., are the Artist and Album columns still there and all blank or have the columns themselves disappeared?
Do you - at least temporarily - get the lost information back when you highlight the tracks and go to the iTunes Advanced menu > Get CD Track Names?
Whatever the case, perhaps if you post a screenshot of your iTunes Library display, as per Hudgie's User Tip , it will provide us with some clue as to what might be going on.

Photo albums shared on iCloud

How come the photo albums shared on iCloud still use the iPhone's physical memory and how can I fix this ?

I'm bumping this. I thought the whole idea of icloud photosharing albums was the fact they are stored in the cloud thus not taking up any storage locally on the phone? Better yet they don't apply to icloud storage as well. However, I am confused as why if photosharing albums are stored in the cloud they are taking up storage on my phone?
