Are you pleased with upgrade to iPhoto '06?

Just wondering if those of you who upgraded from previous versions of iPhoto feel like it was worth the $$$$ or if you feel that it really doesn't offer all that much more...

George:
Before converting to V6 it I would follow these preparation steps:
1 - make a backup copy of the current library.
2 - check out your albums and smart albums to make sure they do not use any nonstandard characters in the title. They are know to cause trouble in the conversion process.
3 - do a rebuild of the current library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. I'd select all of the options except the last one regarding orphaned files.
4 - when you confirm the library is OK delete the backup and make a new one.
5 - before installing V6 download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field..
6 - install iLife 06 and update each application to the latest version before trying to open them.
7 - run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.
8 - launch the iApps in the following order to help insure they will all see each other as intended: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, then iDVD. Exclude any applications you opted to not install.

  • Are you pleased with 2.0?

    All-
    I am "on the fence" deciding whether to purchase the 2.0 upgrade. I see the new apps offered but are they really worth it? Does it add another level of functionality to the iTouch? Your feedback is appreciated.

    Like many other people, I too was getting very frustrated by the problems trying to download 2.0. But, as is always the case with things like this, it eventually gets sorted and soon we've all forgotten how stressed and annoyed we were. So this morning I was really pleased to find the update was working and it downloaded in about 7 minutes from iTunes.
    The install went fine as did the Restore and finally the reloading of all my content. All in all, the whole process probably took about 35 minutes.
    Once done, I headed off to the App store and picked up a dozen apps - some paid for and some free.
    It's obviously VERY early days for the store so many apps are fairly basic, minimal functionality etc. However, there are some truly fantastic apps which have transformed my Touch into a multi-functional tool / gaming device.
    I love Super Monkey Ball and Enigmo, whilst Remote is just a wonderful little app that really expands my home media experience. As and when Mobile Me finally starts working properly, this will further enahnce the Touch and it's overall usage options.
    So in my humble opinion, I'd say get 2.0. It is a major development for the iPod Touch and makes it fantastically feature-rich. I for one have already forgotten all about my frustrations from yesterday!
    Enjoy.

  • Poll: Are you pleased your Vista Drivers and their current featur

    So my question goes who here uses their Sound Card to do more such as decode Dolby Digital (any kind) for SPDIF IN/OUT or any other function that enables you to do more for your home entertainment system, that Vista currently doesn't support?
    POLL:
    Are you pleased with your Vista Drivers and their current features? (A respectable question)
    Yes
    or
    No
    Maybe we can have a Poll about the feelings of the community without it being blocked for "stirring up trouble", we have an opinion lets see what the community thinks.Message Edited by cyphin6 on 03-20-200705:06 PM

    Why is it that people think they have all these "rights"? There is a difference between a "right" and a "privilege". It is painfully obvious that most people who say that have a "right" to do something don?t know what their rights are at all.
    First and foremost, moderating a privately owned forum is not a violation of anyone's "rights". Before someone complains about their "right to free speech" being violated because of a forum moderator, you need to understand about the right to "free speech" in "America" (Actually you should say in the U.S. because Cuba is part of "America" as well and they don't have a constitutionally guaranteed "right to free speech" ) applies to CONGRESS and what CONGRESS can't do. Basically, it restricts the government, not private citizens and private forums.
    And even though you may have the "right" to say something, it doesn't mean that anyone here has to listen to you...and that includes the moderators and forum owner. In other words, they can tell you to shut up by locking or deleting a topic. If you want to practice your ?right? beyond that, open your door and shout at the top of your lungs?and when the police show up, you can'tell them?all about your ?rights?

  • Are you happy with Java Applets?

    Are you happy with deploying your Forms to the Web as Java Applets? What kind of issues did you run into? Did you go the Java Applet deployment route for the lack of an easier/faster option? Wouldn't you prefer to deploy your forms as standard JSP pages? I really appreciate your feedback.
    Ali

    Ali,
    I wished things were as easy as black and white. It depends on what kind of application your are building. Is it busineess to business, business to customer, an Internet application or a heavily used internal application with high transaction volumes.
    There are a lot of application types that I, as a Forms Product Manager, wouldn't encourage you to use Forms for. Keeping in mind the memory footprint onthe server, the JInitiator plug in and the download time, self service applications that are of short term use definitively are not what Forms is made for.
    On the other side, JSP still requires a back end because its an interface technology and according to the MVC paradigm the view shouldn't have business logic in it. So you can use EJBs or Oracle's Business Components for Java to build the backbone of your application. In either way you are stepping out of the JSP case.
    There is a reason for all different interface types to exist: Use Java Applet for what they are good for and the Forms design and intended usage really goes in line with that. Please have a look at this Whitepaper for a good insight in the subject of Forms and J2EE technologies

  • What browser are you using with OS 9.x?

    Would you all please state which internet browser you are using with OS 9.x and the strengths/weaknesses you are experiencing with it?
    I switch back and forth between Mozilla and Internet Explorer but fewer and fewer websites work properly with them. If there is a better browser than those two I would add it to my old Wallstreet running 0S 9.1.
    Again, what browser are you using with OS 9.x and what are its good/bad points?
    Thanks!

    (Almost forgot
    I have an iCab filter set up for Yahoo on my OS 9.2.1 iMac.
    For the URL string I use (asterisk)yahoo(asterisk)
    For the Scripts filter I use the Netscape identity and have all versions checked except "JScript", and everything is checked in the "Allow" section.
    For the Network filter I use the Firefox identity and have the HTTP "referer" set to "Always".
    I don't use Yahoo Mail much on that machine, but those settings allow me to use the Address book to select addresses and send messages with attachments. (I'm not sure about viewing attachments, though, and I'm almost positive that address auto-complete doesn't work.)
    Cheers,

  • Are you happy with version 10 + XP

    Itunes just refused to upload the last Santana CD if i did not upgrade my old v8 to v10; it probably will do the same for every recent cd...so there is an issue here.
    Since i had to go back from v9 to V8 cause 9 just did not work on my pc, i do not feel confident about upgrading to 10 now...
    are you happy with V10 + XP? (one that cannot afford buying a mac...)
    Carlus

    i have version 10 in one pc and version 8 in another; when i import the very same CD, version 8 goes to gracenote and finds all the song names + cd cover, and version 10 does not...version 9 hI believe apple is growing too fast and becoming like windows...with false improovements, bugs, and so on; i was going to buy an apple computer but i changed my mind ans i won't.

  • Does logic 9 from the app store have everything that you would get if you were to buy it in the store?, and are you able to upgrade to studio later on?

    Hi
    Logic Studio is not available anymore, so unless you can find an "old stock" copy somewhere, you will never be able to upgrade in the future.
    Logic Pro 9 has all the content from the Studio box available for download, with the exception of the 20G of Soundtrack Pro content. Soundtrack Pro is no longer available at all.
    Logic Studio also contained several other applications: Mainstage, Compressor (available separately from the AppStore), Waveburner (no longer available), plus some other utilities.

  • Are you happy with your Galaxy S5?  I'm looking for a new phone.

    Are you happy with you Galaxy S5?  I'm looking for a new phone.

    Very happy after getting it to stop keeping the display lit after charging completes.  Battery life blows my Galaxy Nexus out of the water.  The GNex was like an electric car with a 30 mile range.  Always looking for a charge.  The S5's screen is gorgeous.  OLED is a must-have for me.  Signal strength is better than the GNex and the S5 is XLTE-ready so you can get faster speeds in those markets.  I got 69.08/18.95 in Kansas City back in May.  Other XLTE areas have had download speeds of high 20s to low 30s.  Performance is good.  The interface feels smooth and responsive.  I even like the look.  It's like something out of a 50s diner.
    My only real gripe is the storage.  16 gigs is pretty sad these days and only 10 gigs are available.  I know you can add a 128 gig card (I have) but few apps load completely to the card.  Heck, lots of apps won't put anything on the card.  A flagship phone should have 32 and 64 gig options.
    I also wish I could just load the bare OS and skip all the bells and whistles that Samsung's added.

  • Are you happy with your Touch?

    I am looking at an iPod Touch since I really don't need an iPhone.
    Right now I am using a Palm Pilot and I like it.
    Has anyone made a switch from the Palm Pilot to a Touch?
    Are you happy with it?
    Thanks,
    Fred

    I've owned a lot of electronics and feel the Touch is the coolest of them all. Now that I've got a MiFi I can listen to Pandora pretty much anywhere, on my TOuch. We just drove from San Jose to LA and had Pandora on the entire time, in the car. Very awesome. There is an app for just about anything imaginable with many of them being free. While the screen doesn't have the gorgeous blacks and color of the BB Storm, it's still cool to watch movies on the Touch, play various games, view the internet, and on and on. My wife and I both use our Touchs every day and by plugging in to recharge when the indicator shows about 1/2 charge, we don't run out of juice to use them to our heart's content. Highly recommended. You can even straighten pictures on the wall with a Touch!

  • Are you satisfied with your ability to edit HD movies in Mac OS

    I've spent the last few days going over all the posts for the past month about import and codecs and resolution, and it seems that the issue of editing HD video on a Mac platform is somewhat problematic. So before I go out and spend $500 - $1000 on an HD camcorder I would like to know, given all the limitations and work arounds, are you satisfied with the final output. Here are the limitations, iMovie (either 06HD or 09) or FCE, an Intel based iMac, and AVCHD based flash memory camcorder either from Panasonic or Canon. Burning to DVD.
    From what I gather, with the above set up HD is out of the question. Can one get SD quality DVD's? Can one expect DVD quality videos, which to me look better than current SD TV.
    I think I would be satisfied if I could get DVD like videos out of a setup like I described above. If edited videos would be worse than that I would have second thoughts. I'm just not sure from reading all the posts whether the dissatisfaction I detect is from disappointment from not equaling the output of direct from camera, or from a truly degraded picture.
    Thanks for your opinion.

    I've been using a Panasonic Lumix camera that is capable of video recording at 1280x720p. Just finished a 1 hour annual family DVD. I imported the video at 720p and did all the editing in iMovie 09. I did use FCE for some special effects, exported these in 1280x720p, imported them into iMovie 09 in 1280x720p. After editing I exported the iMovie 09 Project using Share, Export Movie..., HD. This creates a 1280x720p .mov file. In other words, all the editing and export is done in HD. Unfortunately when I used iDVD or Toast my DVDs were poor quality. After experimenting with various other DVD authoring tools, I came across MovieGate ($20). This software produces a good quality DVD -- much better than either iMovie or Toast and is relatively fast. I'll continue to use this approach until Blue Ray becomes more mainstream and affordable. I think there is a trial version of MovieGate available. In my opinion, worth a try.

  • Are you happy with you Z

    I have a ZVM and i really like it. Best mp3 player i ever had.
    Are you Happy with your zen? If not what would you rather have?

    i love my ZVM. However, i like the way my Nomad Jukebox2 is view'd in MediaSource Organizer better. Also the fact that they let you figure out how to use the ZVM. There is no detailed instructions on how all the functions work.

  • Windows 10 are you going to upgrade?

    Yes I am. Gotta stay current and up on the tech.

    I am thinking and thinking. Do I make the move on July 29th or not? Are you going to upgrade Windows 10? Also what do you think the next Microsoft operating system will be named?

  • What are you doing with software (games) designed to run on Snow Leopard.  Have you heard of anyone making a patch for LION?

    What are you doing with software (games) designed to run on Snow Leopard when the Os is Lion?

    It is up to the publishers of games to accommodate their software to Lion.
    Blizzard, publisher of StarCraft, WarCraft, and Diablo, has posted a statement about that -
    Blizzard Support
    Although they were able to create patches to allow the use of their (OS 9) games in OS X up through Snow Leopard, apparently from their perspective it is not possible to patch those games for Lion.

  • Trying to decide 9650 or Samsung Facinate, are you happy with your BB?

    Hi,
    I am going to get my upgrade, and getting my first smartphone. I will be using for email, txt, phone, and a little web. Are you guys happy with the blackberry, or is it getting out dated and I should move to the driod platform? Was looking at the 9650.
    Help

    BlackBerry cannot be beat for instant email, texting (the Bold keyboard is amazing), call quality and battery life. Do you have friends with BlackBerrys? You can use BB Messenger to chat with them. In fairness, other smartphone platforms have instant messaging as well, but BBM is just easy and always connected, and you can see when someone has read your message (not sure if others offer this feature). And a big plus for me is I can stick a BB in my pocket and not worry about the screen cracking or scratching.
    I wouldn't worry about the platform being outdated. RIM is still a strong contender because BlackBerrys just work the way they're supposed to. Get what's right for you, because these opinions constantly change. I still see lots of "Back to BlackBerry" threads.
    Since you said "a little web," I think the Bold might be a good choice for you. If you were into heavy browsing, watching videos, or loading up on free apps and games, I'd say check out the Fascinate. If you want fun, innovative stuff that looks amazing onscreen, BB is not known for that.
    As a previous poster said, try out both devices in a store. It's the best way to know. Good luck deciding!

  • Are you happy with video playback on a fairly new non-HP Vista machine?

    Has anyone been able to successfully play back iTunes videos on recently-purchased non-HP Vista computers?
    There have been a number of posts about inability to play back iTunes videos, and I'm getting the impression we're all HP users.
    If you have a non-HP machine of recent vintage that came with Vista, and you ARE able to play back your iTunes videos, will you please let us know? It would also be useful to know if your computer has an SATA hard drive (which I think it probably does if it's of recent vintage).
    Thanks!

    I have a brand new (less than a month) Gateway Laptop (core 2 duo/2GB ram) and I haven't had any problems playing video in iTunes.
