Aperture 2: Smart Album not updating automatically?

I have a smart album based on non-existence of keywords in photos. In other words, I have an album full of images that do not have any of a set of 4 keywords specified. Works great, BUT, when I add keywords to photos from that set, the photos do not disappear from the smart album like they used to.
In fact, to get them to disappear I have to go to the magnifying glass of the smart album uncheck the Keywords checkbox and then recheck it, and only then will it update.
Am I missing something? Is it just a bug or is it a performance issue updating the smart ablum after every change? (I know that was impossibly slow in 1.x, but they seem to have fixed the meta data performance issues in 2.0.)

I figured it out. The Aperture Smart Folder was actually being updated in iPhoto!
The story...
I recently upgraded to the new commonly shared Aperture \ iPhoto file format and imported all my iPhoto photos into my Aperture library.
Unknown to me, Aperture was saving changes made in Aperture to the old iPhoto file (package)  -- with no notice, advisory, or infornation to this effect!
Mind-numbingly confusing, but once I deduced that my Aperture Library was now kinda fronting for some data stored in iPhoto, I could link to the Smart Folder stored there.
I intend to export the whole mess to an entirely new Aperture Library to be entirely (I hope!) in an Aperture environment.
If you lose information in Aperture, try looking in iPhoto!

  • Smart Album Not Updating Dynamically

    I recently upgraded to iPhoto 11.  My Smart Albums now no longer update dynamically.  For example, I have a smart album that contains the last 3 months of photos.  It does not update after I import photos from my camera.  I have to manaully edit the settings for the smart album and click ok.  I don't change the settings, just edit and click ok.
    Why aren't the smart albums dynamically updating?

    Dynamic update of smart playlists when playing music untethered on an iPod touch 2G set to manually manage music is broken with the latest iPhone 3.0 Software Update for iPod touch. Here we go again on this issue. It seems to be broken or purposefully disabled on every other update for the iPod.
    On a side note, I noticed that my iPod now occasionally displays a wait screen when opening Music. I found this happens when I alter my playlists in iTunes.app, then disconnect the iPod for a session of untethered listening. Perhaps the iPod is actually building the smart playlists then, perhaps not, perhaps a smart developer will take advantage of this to trigger the smart playlist updating.

  • IPhoto '11 Smart Album Not Updating

    When importing photos from my iPhone into iPhoto '11, any events that contain pictures of my son are titled with his first name. I have a smart album set up to include any events that include my son's name. Suddenly, events I import and title accordingly are no longer showing up in the smart album. At first I thought the fact a couple of those events have videos in them might be the problem, but I also have recent events with no videos not syncing to the album either. Any thoughts from the community welcome!

    No. A Smart Album is really a list of images found in response to a search. So you're looking for images not found by another search, and that's not a criterion for a Smart Album.

  • ITunes\Apple TV 2 Not Updating Aperture 3 Smart Album Photos

    Hi,
    Even after both updating the Preview photos in the Aperture 3 Smart Album and waiting for several hours, my iTunes photo link to the Apple TV 2  still shows the OLD pictures (and the photo count) from when I first linked the album. The link is off by scores of photos that have since been added.
    In attempting to remedy the out-of-date Album link, I have:
    closed all programs,
    restarted the computer,
    linked and unlinked the photo album.
    The photos on the Apple TV still show old versions of the pix, since revised. I don't know where these are coming from since they have been updated. They must reside in the ATV's memory. I'd like to flush that out and replace with the new versions!
    QUESTIONS:
    --> Is there a way to get iTunes to see the updated Smart Album that resides in Aperture 3?
    --> Can I force an update of the Smart Album photos to the Apple TV?
    Perhaps there is a secret incantation and dance?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Time stamp does not update automatically

    Hi, All. I want include the time stamp (yyyy-mo-dd-min-sec) in the file name. However, the value of the time stamp does not update automatically/synchronizes with the computer clock at each new run. I need to do it manually with the right click and update the time to the current.
    How can I solve this? Thanks a lot in advance.

    What does this have to do with NI counter/timer hardware?
    What language are you using and what function are you using to get a timestamp? If the language is LabVIEW, then all you need is Get Date/Time in Seconds. If you are using a front panel Time Stamp control, then you are using the incorrect function.

  • Dates in Events do not update automatically

    After iPhoto made events out of my photo library during conversion from from iPhoto06, there are often photos from several days in one "event". I can live with that most of the time, but in several instances I split events. Unfortunately, the dates of the original, unsplit event do not update automatically. This often results in a wrong order of events. If, e.g. I take out pictures from August 10th from an event with photo dates August 10th to August 13th, the original event still shows the starting date of August 10th, and orders the event between August 9th and August 11th.
    The expected behaviour would be that the starting date of the modified event would change automatically to reflect the changes. This does not occur, and, worse, there is not even a possibility to change those dates manually.
    Am I missing something important here, or is this an VERY annoying bug in iPhoto08?

    I agree - but this is a user forum and we can NOT fix anything - only try to help either follow the correct procedures of (as in this case) identify a work around to use until Apple fixes the problem.
    As far as I know the work around of creating a new event form one photo and moving the remaining photos to the new event is the ONLY way arround this problem right now.
    Using the work around will accomplish what you need even though it should not be necessary. Complaining about on this forum will not accomplish anything - compalining directly to Apple might -- iPhoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto Feedback.
    Larry Nebel
    PS - and reading the thread prior to get the work around prior to adding "I have the same problem" would actually be a pretty good idea too!

  • Passbook does not update automatically

    passbook not updating automatically i have to go to each app and manually add updates.

    The only updates are those of amounts for Starbucks, since that is the only one I can comment on. Is that what you are referring to, is the amount, or the number of cards? You didn't answer my other question. If you update the amount in your card, either by purchase to decrease, or reloading to increase, it is those amounts that are not updating? Is this correct? If you purchase a new card, it will not automatically be added to Passbook, you have to manually add it. Since I don't have the Cub foods app, can we just concentrate on Starbucks, since I have it and use it regularly. I will be able to understand what you are doing and maybe not doing that way. To be honest, at this point, I'm still not sure exactly what you are doing.

  • RG1 is not Updating Automatically

    Dear All Salute !!
    RG1 is not updating automatically in the system due to data migration on cutoff date since February; they are maintaining parallel in the legacy system (in Excel or any other), though here is updated project from 5.0 to 6.0.
    I am unable to understand, how the system is going on in the lacking of this.
    From Accounts Department side: Still Cenvat duty posting & statement (57AE) are done manually by dispatch/stores department. As per ECC6, system generated report should be available to the end users to avoid duplicate work & mistake.
    As per observation from SD side _no Opening Balance is uploaded while data migration_.
    I have got information through SDN about table J_2IRG1BAL but I am unaware of using this.
    Please provide me complete solution for this to do the needful instead of OSS Notes.

    Adding to Komals reply,
    Please go through the sap note 951955 and check below comments:
    Please check whether you have maintained opening balances for
    all RG1 material in table J_2IRG1BAL. If not, please maintain opening
    balances for all RG1 material in J_2IRG1BAL for the date from which
    you want to run the RG1 report.
    Thanks

  • Hi, My iPad has iOS 5.1.1 and is not updating automatically. Yes I reconfigured as it came yesterday

    Hi, My iPad has iOS 5.1.1 and is not updating automatically. Yes I reconfigured as it came yesterday

    I thought about that, but where he states that "Yes I reconfigured as it came yesterday," I assumed that this was a new iPad 2 that he just received yesterday. The tagline shows iPad 2, FWIW.
    However, your assumption may be probably is correct.

  • Dataset not updating automatically

    Hello,
    I have a graph that is dynamic.  I already have a variable set up and also a dataset.  This file is saved.
    Basically, I am trying to write some code that will open the document, import the variable file (with the new data from the xml file) and then update the graph.
    Using the code below, the file opens and also the import of the variables is succesful.  However, the graph is not updating automatically.  I need to actually select the value from the dropdown in the variables window.  Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
       // Open the file and import the datasets and variables from xml file
      var docRef = open(new File(aiChartFilePath));
       alert("Importing the datasets.");
       docRef.importVariables(new File(xmlFilePath));
    var ds1 = docRef.dataSets.getByName("Chart1Variable");
    alert(ds1); //this gives the "DataSet Chart1Variable"
    docRef.activeDataset = ds1;
    ds1.display();
    redraw();
    rs = "OK";
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    this should work just fine ... put 2 datasets in the same file:

  • ITunes: podcasts are not updating automatically

    Hi,
    My podcasts are not updating automatically in iTunes as they as they should.
    My Mac and iTunes are running 24/7, so iTunes it always running. The update interval of the podcast is set to hourly, latest iTunes, latest Mac OS X.
    The podcast actually does update if I re-start iTunes or, if I manually update the podcasts (there is always the latest 1 or 2 daily episodes of say NBC nightly news available, but not yet downloaded)... (but this is not a great solution as I am using iTunes through Plex, the Mac is mor a TV/Mediacenter for my family; Plex can access playlists and podcasts in iTunes, but obviously it cannot trigger iTunes to update, so I have to go out of Plex to update iTunes, very annoying)
    How can I ge my my podcasts to be downloaded automatically by iTunes.
    Thank you for any help!

    Here is a screenshot of the phenomenon/problem... NBC Nightly News is not updated, even both the computer and iTunes are running constanly. Once I click update podcast, the podcast updates, so there is an update available.
