Any way to revert to old folder tree?

Hi - just upgraded to iPhoto6, and would /much/ prefer to have my directory tree as it was in version 4, where it was YEAR > MONTH > DAY, as that was the easiest way to find my way to a specific picture when I had one highlighted in iPhoto, with the info tab open, from another application. It was also a much easier way to navigate to a specific picture when I didn't feel like opening iPhoto when I knew on which date I took a specific picture.
So, is there any way to force it to use that old directory tree by organizing the folders in that way, rather than the roll #? Or, is there a way for the roll number to show up in the info tab in the lower left corner? Thanks...

Hi Keith,
First in library view, go to
View>Film rolls
then
View>sort>by film rolls
Now you can see the film roll your photo is in.
Next, I name my film rolls with the date and a couple of words.
Such as "1/24/06 Fire pit"
When you change the title of the film roll within iPhoto, the title will also change in the Finder.
this will make images easy to find.
oh, you can't go back to the old structure. This new one, when you use it right is very handy.
Also, if the other application supports drag and drop, you can drag the image right from the library view to the application.
You can also set up an external editor in iPhoto Preferences. Once set up, you can control click on an image and open it in the edit mode, edit window, full screen, or the external editor you chose in the iPhoto Preferences.

Any way to revert to old notes?

I've got my iphone 4 set up for wireless sync. My son was watching a movie on my iphone, and got out of the movie, into the notepad, and changed my most current note which had a couple of email addresses that I needed. I didn't realize he did this, and as soon as we got home, the note had synced to my computer before I could stop it.
Is there any way to revert to an old version?

Not unless you had backed up your phone prior to this. If you do have this note backed up you can either restore your phone from backup (which reverts all your data to this older version, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766), or you can use a 3rd party program to extract the notes data from the backup (such as http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/)

I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to? If you do then bring it in and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows: make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library. But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB. That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash. You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

Any way to get the old behavior of "Hyperdraw Other"

In Logic 4.7 one could type ^Command-O to bring up a dialog, then simply type in a controller number and RETURN. That's all you needed to do to hyperdraw any arbitrary controller.
In Logic 7 you type ^Command-O which brings up a long list. No text entry box. You are then forced to use your mouse to scroll waaaay down the list to the controller you want. To add insult to injury you are then forced to use the mouse again to click on the close box to close the window. Yes, this is one of those nifty new-fangled windows without a "CLOSE WINDOW" key command.
Is there any way to replicate the old behavior of Hyperdraw >Other?
I don't want to rant but it seems to me that the speedy interface of logic 4.7 has given way to uber-bloat in logic 7. I hope this isn't the general direction things are going.

Hi K,
⌘ W
Yes, it does close the floating window on my system.
Coming fresh off the transition from 4.7 the distinction is vivid. You may not remember
Probably not, since I made every upgrade along the way, though skipped a lot of V5's primetime.
In my opinion once you start adding up a bunch of "nowhere near as terrible"s and your forced to do them again and again day after day they add up to one big terrible.
Agreed - but some adaption is of course to be expected (at least, IMO). Some is for the better, some is for the worse. Overall, I find the workflow faster with 7 than 4 but again, my memory is not as vivid as yours.
Cheers,
J

Yes, connect to your computer with the latest version of iTunes installed and restore it. If it doesn't show up in iTunes when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Is there any way to revert to an older version of iTunes?

GoodReader (an iOS app) has a 32 bit windows program (GoodReader USB) that allows easy drag and drop transferring of folders and files between my windows computer and my iPad.
Upgrading to the newest 64 bit version of iTunes disabled the GoodReader USB transfer program. The program doesn't think iTunes is installed (because it only works with the 32 bit version). GoodReader hasn't upgraded the transfer program yet and I've been told they might not. I use this program several times per week and it's a hardship to lose its functionality.
I uninstalled iTunes, downloaded a 32 bit version of iTunes and tried to install it. Unfortunately, the install doesn't work. The install program essentially insisted that I needed the 64 bit version. I've reinstalled the 64 bit iTunes 12 for the time being. Is there any way to revert to the last version of iTunes that was running on my computer. Alternately, is there another iOS app (similar to GoodReader) with as good a USB transfer program that lefts me drag and drop folders and files onto my iPad?

Try iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
You may need to fully uninstall all Apple components before switching. If you run into problems see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip. Also links to the previous build if required.

Is there any way to access my old my verizon account to retrieve old text messages from my own old account from 8 months ago? I am getting a divorce and I need info off of that account for my hearing to prove what he did.

Is there any way to access my old my Verizon account to retrieve old text messages from my own old account from 8 months ago? I am getting a divorce and I need info off of that account for my hearing to prove what he did.

What do you mean by "when I brought the messages up back in March"?
Were the messages on your phone? Simply because messages are on your phone does not mean they are still on Verizon's servers. You use internal phone memory to store messages on your phone. The messages do not stay on Verizon's servers until you delete them from your phone.
On the other hand, if you still have your phone and have not reset it since you stopped using it, the texts may still be on your phone. Good luck.

Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?

Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.

Is there any way to keep the old maps app?

I'd upgrade, but maps the way it is now works very well for me and is one of the things I use most on my iPhone. Is there any way to keep the old version of maps when upgrading?

No - just don't upgrade until Google release there maps app. I wish I could go back to yesterday and give myself this advice.

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

HT1399 I just downloaded the newest version of itunes, and when I connect my ipod nano (3rd gen), I can no longer see my playlists (on the left hand side). I hate the new format...any way to revert back to the old one?

I just downloaded the newest versionof itunes. Now when I plug in my ipod, I can no longer see my playlists (listed on the left hand side). The new format is very confusing! How do I drag and drop songs into specific playlists I have? Is there a way to revert back to the old itunes?

I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here post https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again.
