Another question- is there a picture number limit in iPhoto4?

Hi,
My iphoto4 library continues to grow. Is there a limit to the number of photos that the program can handle?
One of my computers has iphoto2. Does it have a limit to the number of photos that it can handle.
Thank you

Apple used to say you could get thousands of photos in a library.Maybe you can.
You would wind up with all your eggs in one basket --- one very big, very slow, vulnerable basket.
It is very easy to create multiple iPhoto Library folders and to switch between them. Check out iPhoto Buddy and iPhoto Library Manager
For using multiple library folders:
buddy/ manager

When you work with a large Library you can speed things up by sorting by rolls and keeping all the rolls closed except the one you are working with. Also minimize the zoom for more speed.

Thread number limit

Hi !
Is there a thread number limit in a JVM ?
Thanks
Ludovic

The OS limits the number of threads which can be run without significant overhead.
This is 100 - 1000 depending on the OS.

Another question re:daisychaining lacie, canon, g5

I read the post from a few days ago about problems capturing while a lacie is plugged in at the same time that a Canon camcorder is plugged in and I have encountered the same problem (I am using FCE). I also read how someone said they have dealt with it, i.e., capturing to the internal, restarting, then moving the clips to the LaCie. I have done this (prior to reading this, not as a result of reading it), but encountered a problem. I lost everything.
I moved the captured clips to my LaCie--or actually, a copy of the clips was made when I dragged and dropped. I then went back and moved the "original" clips to the trash and emptied the trash. When I went to use the copied clips on the LaCie, they appeared to be there, but all the data was gone. In other words, I couldn't use them in the sequence I had begun. I had to go back and 'capture project' to get them all back. Major bummer.
So here's my question. When "moving" captured clips, render files, etc. from the internal drive to my LaCie, they don't appear to be truly moving, just copying. Is there a way to move the original files so that I'm not having to move anything into the trash? I've been working on an opera on the internal drive and now have run out of space halfway thru rendering (I so knew this was coming!). I've "moved" (copied) all the captured clips and render files to my LaCie and subsequently dragged the "originals" to the trash in an effort to free up space. I am now petrified to empty my trash. I'm scared that my two-hour opera that took six hours to capture and another week to put together will be lost completely. Can anybody help???
Another question: is there another brand of external hard drive that is compatible with my Canon GL2? I'd so love to just be able to capture right to the external...
Thanks!!!

Hi Heather.
I don't know what happened to your clips but it is certainly not normal!
When you drag and drop to your LaCie you are making a perfect byte for byte copy of your originals. They are identical.
There is no way you can "move" your originals to another HD and have nothing left to trash.
What I suggest is do a little test - capture five minutes of video and copy it across. Delete the original files and try a few minutes of editing - a few cuts, several transitions and effects to check that everything is OK.

Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError -- Is there a way to limit BPEL instances number

Hi All,
My BPEL process is using JMS adapter to read the JMS queue. Whenever a new message arrives, a new BPEL instance is created. However, when the message gets bigger and multiple messages arrive at queue at the same time, the OC4J gets java OutOfMemory (heap space) error and was forced shutdown. I'm wondering if there's any way to limit the BPEL instance created, say, only one at a time, and the messages would be processed in sequence. Would this be a good way to not use so much heap at one time? Is there a way to limit the BPEL instance created?
Thanks for your help!
Michelle

Take a look at how to configure Jms polling interval (talks about a property that you can set to introduce a delay in between dequeues). That might be of some help to start with.
It is supposed to work exactly the way you want it i.e the activation agent does a dequeue and hand off to bpel engine (which creates an instance and uses the same thread to run as much of that instance as possible i.e till the first dehydration point). So, if your process has a dehydration point right at the beginning (which could be due to invocation of another async process, or wait or ...), you could very well see this thread go right back and process the next available message.
I believe this is a generic problem that is not necessarily jms adapter specific. One way would be to split up your process into three processes:
1. "Kickoff" process which contains just a "receive" associated with the activation agent followed by an invocation of a "Controller" process
2. "Controller" process which checks for the provided input as to which process it needs to invoke, and then goes on to check how many instances of that process are currently running; if this number is below a certain threshold, kick off the main process providing it the necessary payload gotten from the "KickOff" process
3. "Main" process which is same as your current process except that it is a typical async process without the adapter "receive" partner link
So, the idea being that for any process where you want to introduce a control-flow mechanism, you would split it into #1 and #3 above. Have one generic Controller process, which caters to all of the processes.
Would be interested in learning if others have solved this in a generic way.

Is there a maximum number of pictures that can be uploaded to create a photo book?

Is there a maximum number of pictures that can be uploaded to create a photo book? I can't seem to drag anymore pictures to my current project.

I have over 200 photos in my book and it was accepted. There is a limit on each widget though. The interactive widget seems to have a limit of around 30 or 40.

Thanks all for the great advice. Another question. If I use Entourage on my desktop Mac to access an email address I use on there, is it possible to be able to access my email on that same email address on my iPad either with or without Entourage?

Thanks all for the great advice. Another question. If I use Entourage on my Mac desktop to access my mail using an email address I have on there, is it possible to access my emails on that same email address on my iPad, either with or without using Entourage. Is there an Entourage app, or something I could use? Thanks...

Simply add the email account to Mail, no need for Entourage.
One word of warning, though, iPads tend to become community property (meaning anyone who uses your iPad can access your email). That is why I have zero email accounts on my iPad.
I use Entourage on my desktop as well, so going back and forth between Entourage and Mail (whether on your iPad or iPhone) is no problem.

Play count question. I have about 500 songs in my library that I know have played at least once...probably just once. Although there is a "last played" date listed there is no number in the play count column. Any reason for this? thx

I have about 500 songs in my library that have played one time. Although a "last date played" date is noted, there is no number in the play count column. This only happens some times. Any reason for this, and can it be corrected? thx

Thanks, but the play count is not incrementing only on the very first play. All subsequent plays are fine. Meaning the play counts for these particular tracks are always one play short. I double-checked some of the tracks in question and I have not shortened, or stopped them early.

Is there any way to limit the number of Threads running in Application(JVM)

Hello all,
is there any way to limit the number of Threads running in Application(JVM)?
how to ensure that only 100 Threads are running in an Application?
Thanks
Mohamed Javeed

You should definitely use a thread pool for this. You can specify maximum number of threads that can be run. Be note that the thread pool will only limit the number of threads that are submitted to it. So donot call "Thread"s start() method to start thread on your own. Submit it to the pool. To know more, study about executor service and thread pool creation. Actually it will not be more than 20 line code for a class and you might need maximum of 2 such classes, one for threadPool and other one for rejection handler (if you want).
Just choose the queue used carefully, you just have to pass it as a parameter to the pool.
You should use "Bounded" queue for limiting threads, but also be careful in using queues like SynchronizedQueue as the queue will execute immediately the threads submitted to it if maximum number of threads have not been running. Otherwise it will reject it and you should use rejection handler. So if your pool has a synchronized queue of size 100, if you submit 101th thread, it will be rejected and is not executed.
If you want some kind of waiting mechanism, use something like LinkedBlockingQueue. What this will do is even if you want 100 threads, you can specify the queue's size to be 1000, so that you can submit 1000 threads, only 100 will run at a time and the remaining will wait in the queue. They will be executed when each thread already executing will complete. Rejection occurs only when the queue oveflows.

Hi kingminjing,
Have you checked your Control Panel to make sure you don't have the flashlight turned on?
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and make sure the flashlight icon (bottom left-hand corner) is not white. If it is, tap on it to turn it off.

Is there a phone number to call Adobe. I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs? Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Ai

Is there a phone number to call Adobe. I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs? Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Air. It was working fine - I was using LR and a message came on the screen that said something like the memory was dangerously low. I stopped and tried to delete LR files. I couldn't do it. I closed the program and tried reopening and got the message that there is not enough memory available to open LR. I contacted Apple. They spent a half hour on the phone with me and eventually told me they didn't know how to help. The tech said that LR had gobbled up all the memory and said I should contact Adobe and ask where and how my photo files are stored and to delete them. I have several back-ups. Thanks - Arthur

This sort of error message only comes up for Lightroom when your hard disk is full. Indeed this has nothing to do with internal memory as that will be intelligently be dealt with. If you have a mac Book Air that is not so surprising as the cheapest versions come with very small hard disks and if you shoot raw with any recent camera, you'll fill up your hard disk very quickly and you can probably only store a few months of pictures if you are a typical photographer. So the bottom line is that you need to create some room on your hard disk. You should move some of your originals to an external hard disk. You can also delete some of your backup copies of your catalog file that Lightroom automatically generates every few days and that quickly gobble up hard disk space. So first figure out how full your hard disk is. To see that, go to the apple menu, hit -> About this Mac -> More info->Storage. You should see your internal hard disk on top and you'll find that it is almost entirely full with photos. Now find your Lightroom catalog file using Finder. It is usually in a folder in the Pictures folder in your home directory. You should see a Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file, a previews file and a folder called backups. Inside the backups folder, you'll find a lot of subfolders. They have names that show the dates the backups were created. If you have backups of your entire hard disk, you can delete these backups when they are older than a few months. I usually only keep the last 4 around. Just drag the folders into the trash can on the dock on the bottom of your screen and empty the trash. This will probably free up enough space that Lightroom will already run again. Now start thinking about where you will want to store older images. If you have a good USB3 or Thunderbolt hard disk that is probably the best option. There is a video here by Adobe that has some instructions on how to do this: Is Your Hard Drive Full? Here’s How to Move Images to Another Drive in Lightroom. « Julieanne Kost's Blog If that doesn't work because you don't have enough hard drive space to run Lightroom yet, here is another set of instructions to move your files using the finder to the other hard disk: How do I move only my photos to another hard drive, leaving the catalog where it is? - The Lightroom Queen. If you follow that, as soon as you confirm all your images are on the new hard disk, you can delete them from your internal one. She is not so clear about that part but if you don't delete the originals that you moved off you don't free up space. You should move the folder structure over to the new hard disk and then reconnect the folders in Lightroom. That should make it refind all your images.
That said, if you are uncomfortable with the computer in itself, your best bet is to find a local photography club. There is invariably a Lightroom savvy person in there that could help you move your files. That might be your best bet if you are uncomfortable moving these yourself. A general mac savvy person like you would find at an Apple store or so generally will not be able to help you with this except when they are photographers themselves and know Lightroom. You might get lucky with that.

Is there a max number of parameters that can be passed to a C function in test stand v. 1.0.1

I have had an issue with test stand version 1.0.1 (yes, I know; it's quite old) and calling a C function thru an action step. when I call this function with 18 parameters, it seems to hang. I have called a function with 16 and it seems to work. Is this a limit of the software? I am calling the function from a windows DLL that we've created. When I try to pull the function from the dll into test stand I also get a { error...but I get that in the other function's call and it seems to work fine. Any ideas?

ok, upon re-reading what I posted I can clearly see your confusion. haha. I think there are two separate issues.
1) Are there a maximum number of parameters one can use when calling a C function from a DLL? Yes, i'm trying to call a C function from test stand.
2) when I select the "module" tab, and select which DLL contains my function, the prototype has no information associated with it (by clicking the reload prototype button). I'm not sure why, as I'm using a declspec to send the function information out of the dll, but that's another topic. So I click on the source file tab and point the window to the .cpp of my function (within the DLL's project workspace) and when it begins to parse the file, I get an error about mis-matched curly brackets and if I wish to continue, and skip the rest of the parsing.
I click "OK" and when I go back to the module tab, I am able to see all my functions, along with the parameters in the drop down menu below. I fill in all the parameters and everything looks ok; no syntax errors, or anything else seemingly suspicious. I then run my test stand code and when I get to the step which calls this function, the system hangs and cannot proceed.
Any thoughts as to what might cause these issues?

Anonymous calls, Unknown Callers and 10 number limit on call blocking feature

I have FIOS Digital Voice. I hope that someone can give me information to help me out - because like many others here, right now I am regretting having this and have it unplugged more than plugged in - for a service I am paying for.
My number is unlisted.
In my account I have it checked to reject anonymous calls. However, I am still getting calls that are "unknown callers" and "unavailable" numbers. So, if I have it set to reject these calls why am I still receiving them.
Also, why is there such a low limit of adding blocked phone numbers to your account? It is almost like a part-time weekly job to rotate through all the numbers adding new ones, deleting old ones - and they are able to do this much easier, quicker, and they are getting paid, while I am the one paying for this service - which isn't working.
Can anyone let me know why the unknown callers are still getting through and if there is a way to add more than 10 numbers to the blocked list?
As it is, my home phone is unplugged because it has become a useless payment unless this can be addressed.
Thanks
BTW - Are the web/tech guys aware that when you are signed into your account, if you click on "support" from the top menu for "phone", it takes you to a completely different area and asks you to sign in again - but if you click on the "support from the left menu for "phone" it takes you where you need to go. But the website is a whole other can of worms.

This might help answer your questions.

Is there a max number of actions a button can have?

I'm building an interactive matrix in InDesign (CS5.5 Mac) with stacked buttons to implement the change of state for a given spot on the grid. This is working fine in Acrobat, but when I made a "master reset" button in InDesign (setting 96 buttons to "hidden" and 96 buttons to "visible"), not all of the actions transferred to the button when opened in Acrobat.
My question: is there a limit to the number of show/hide fields a single button can have? If so, I have a pretty good idea how to work around the limit, but want to be sure before proceeding.
Acrobat 9 Pro, Mac OS 10.6.8.
Thanks,
Ben

I highly recommend you do it with a script. Not only you won't have this
issue with the maximum number of actions (which I have no answer for,
sorry), but maintaining it would be MUCH easier and more straight-forward.
Imagine you decide to change the name of one of the fields, or remove it.
You'll have to go over all the actions and find the relevant one. In a
script you could do it in seconds, and it would be much easier to find out
if something went wrong.
