Ask: Would you prefer to have your library organizefd by #hashtags?

I was thinking about how to organize my library with the given tools of folders, projects and libraries... and I just dont think its an efficient method. It takes me hours to organize it and then if i get to a photo that was on a trip i need to decide to put it in a folder of the trip or the place that ive been. I have visited some places more then once but the reasons could be different. Because when I think about say Hawaii, I think of everyone I know, I also think of the events ive done there and the things that brought me there. But then when an event expands beyond Hawaii and go abroad or just to other islands what do I then decide to categorize that photo? I could just have everything based on tagging instead so I can decide how to see it organized. It would be like a bunch of smart folders instead of actual folders. I see it looking similar to how it is now but every time you move the photo into a folder or folders in folders it options you to add a hashtag for that category and adding further categories as you see it makes sense. Giving you the option to categorize photos non-lineally, as it makes sense of your mind. If apple could go to this method would you agree that this would work? what do you think would be the downfalls to this? What are some examples of how you see this would work?

An interesting approach, but sofar I prefer the way Aperture works:
The strength of Aperture is to seperate the static container structure from the more dynamic tagging and using structure. Each image has a unique container; and the name and location on the container can only be based on one criterium - but keywords, captions, headlines, places, faces - all that can be changed easily and be adapted dynamically to your needs, and can evolve freely as your objectives change.

  • I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos

    I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac

    The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
    The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
    So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

  • How to get rid of: Would You Like To See Your Photos on a Map?

    Every single time I edit a photo in Aperture I get this annoying question: "Would you like to see your photos on a map?" Enable GPS tracking - yes or no. How can I get this pop-up screen permanently off of Aperture? Sometimes this causes Aperture to freeze and I have to force quit my computer.

    I understand that I can do it manually but am not understanding how I should have answered the startup question.
    Just open iPhoto, open the iPhoto preference, then go to the advanced tab. At the bottom of the window is a pull down for "Look Up Place". The start up questions just asked how you want this setting set. You can now use the pull down to change it to "Automatic" instead of Never.
    Another place to check in preference is the tab for "Web". There is a check box for "Include location information for published photos". This tells iPhoto if you want the location information included when you upload photos to Flickr or other places that can read and display map info.

  • How do you sync music into your library from another file

    how do you sync music into your library from another file?  After moving all my music into a new location, is there a quicker way to upload the music into the library rather than adding file by file?

    Hi MonicaJani,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can also add folders of media as described here:
    Adding music and other content to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
    Adding content on your computer to iTunes
    iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    Cheers,

  • With the latest version of itunes, are you able to search your library by purchase date?

    With the latest version of itunes, are you able to search your library by purchase date?  My prior itunes software had Name, Time, Artist, Album, Genre, Rating, Plays and Purchased.  With Version 11.0.3 of itunes, 'Purchased' is not a tabbed option to sort.  Can this be added?
    Thanks.

    Hey jeffwcincy,
    Great question, we simply need to check "Purchased Date" from the View Options menu.
    In iTunes 11, click the "View" menu and choose "Show View Options". Located under "Stats" is the "Purchase Date" option.

    This is a user-to-user technical support forum. You cannot communicate with Apple in this forum. But to answer your question, Apple cannot track a phone for you.

    James, you are going to have to be a lot more specific as to what's going on when you try to sync your music to your iPod before anyone has a clue on how to start to help you. Please include what kind of iPod you have, what version of iTunes you're using, any error messages or error codes that are happening. The more information you post, the better chance you have of getting some help.

  • Unlimited plan users: which apps make you glad you'll still have your plan?

    After Monday, Jun 7, there's going to be iPad 3G users with a true unlimited plan, and the rest who have a 2GB max (without paying overage fees)
    For unlimited plan users, what apps do you use that make you thankful that you'll still have an unlimited plan? A video streaming app like Netflix? Or something else?

    I have a Wifi only iPad not a 3G iPad. However, I also have an iPhone 3GS; and after the capped plans were announced I looked at my usage on the AT&T website. For me, the "app" that puts me over the top is access to 3G. I live in one of those lucky places where AT&T does not have 3G. There is also no 3G (or sometimes even AT&T) where I work and where I play most of the time. However, on occasion I go somewhere with 3G for a few days and my data usage goes way up just from web browsing, email and non-video applications (since video streaming does not work well over 3G in my experience). Extrapolating, I would definitely go over the new 2 gb cap if I had access to 3G all the time.

  • How to restore when you don't have a library

    I use my work computer as my main/only computer. I do not have a library for my songs because I cannot leave the music on my computer because I may get in trouble at work. My iPod is the only place I have the music stored (I have a 30GB ipod w/video that's about 1/2 full). Recently, when I plug the ipod in I get an error message comes up that says, "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Use the updater to restore iPod to factory settings"
    I have done the 5 R's except for restore because I house all my music just in my ipod because of the whole work computer situation and I do not want to lose all my music.
    When I go through "My Computer" to see my music (in "music") and to try to pull it off temporarily so i can restore the ipod, when I looked at the file it said I had O kb of music in there.
    My iPod works fine on its own and all my music is there, it's just that music won't play on the computer and iTunes is not recognizing the iPod or the songs. So there's no way i know to fix it through iTunes.
    Is there a way to temporarily take the music off the ipod and put it somehere without going through iTunes, restore it, and then put the music back when it's done?

  • What if you don't have your Itouch registered with the app "find my itouch" and you lose your Itouch.  What can you do to clear it

    Lost 4th generation Itouch.  Any way to locate/track where it is?  Can you delete its contact from home computer?

    You need to have already set up the FindMyiPod feature on the iPod and wifi must be on.  There is not other way except to find the iPod and then wipe the iPod.  Apple will not help.

  • •What App. are you guys using as your library????????

    Hi,
    I own Aperture (bought recently) and am in the process of moving my large iPhoto library over. Are you pro users using Aperture as your primary image file library (as in the place you upload your cards to)? I was curious because it seems to store them in a proprietary format, and before I get into moving hundreds more images I thought I would ask. I have 2-300 gigs of usable space but Aperture seems like it could get huge with image adjustments.

    Hi Eric,
    I'm not a pro, but I wanted to clear up one of your issues. Aperture does not store or convert your files in a proprietary format. The image files that you store in the library will remain in their original format and untouched. The "Library" is a Mac OS X entity called a package. A package appears as a single file, but it's an illusion. If you ever needed to extract your image files, you can do so in the Finder (without Aperture) by option-clicking on the "Library" and selecting "Show Package Contents". Now you can navigate the file and folder structure to get at your originals. Of course, a much faster and easier way is to have Aperture export the originals. However, my point was to clear up the "proprietary" structure misunderstanding.
    Also--as was mentioned--each adjustment doesn't create a new image file. Every new version of your original is merely a list of instructions or "recipe" used to apply adjustments to the original to recreate the version for screen and print. This is done dynamically, on the fly. A finished version of the original is never created and saved to a file until you tell it to export a version. Thus, every version is a very small addition to the database. This is very unlike iPhoto, where every new version of a file creates a new image to store...all the more reason to move to Aperture.
    Hope that helps.
