Backup import goes to subfolder by date

I have a backup system where I import pictures to two identical folder trees on different hard drives.  The primary import goes just fine into the folder I specified.  The secondary import goes into the correct folder on the second hard drive, but it is put in a subfoler labeled "imported on DATE"
How can I turn off the extra folder generation?  I've looked all over for a check box I've missed.
Thanks for the help!

If you want directories then you don't want iPhoto. You can get the images from your camera with Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) and move them wherever you like in the Finder.
In iPhoto the concept of Directories (which is a file management concept) does not exist. Photos are imported to Events based on Date. The can be organised in Albums but really, date based organisation is very primitive for iPhoto. You can find all the photos from any day, month, year or date range (i.e. between March 3 and 14 2012) easily. It makes all those folders named for dates rather pointless.
To give you an idea of the organisation possibilities of iPhoto:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • Moved house and TM only goes back to move date

    We moved out temporarily to restore our home in Nov 09- I have had TM working backing up my Mac Pro to an external drive for a year or so. The MP wasn't used for a while work was going on. I was actually working from another machine, a Book. I disconnected the Drive to access work from my Book. I've now brought the MB to the temp home and will use it there, but now I've connected the drive back to it and ran TM, if I enter, it only goes back to the date I switched off and moved the drive! Does this mean I've lost all previous evidence of back up?
    Thx

    NO. First, that means you only have one copy. When your backup drive fails (and they all do, sooner or later), you risk losing it. Plus, Time Machine will, eventually, delete it's copy of anything that's no longer on your system.
    should they be copied onto another drive as filed work/files?
    Yes. Or "archived" to CDs/DVDs.
    The latter would mean the same files exist in 2 places, seems a bit of a waste of space?
    Exactly. The essential part of a good backup strategy is to have (at least) two copies of everything important, in (at least) two places. Three is much better, especially if one is off-site (safe deposit box, workplace, relative's house, etc.). That way, you're also protected against fire, flood, theft, direct lightning strike on your power lines, etc.

  • Importing oim 9.1 exported data to oim 11g?

    Hello,
    I just read a few recent threads on upgrading from 9.1 to 11g... It sounds like there isn't a path to 11g at the moment.
    But has anyone tried exporting oim 9.1 data and using oim 11g Deployment Manager to import the 9.1 exported data in?
    We've invested about 4 man years in our current oim 9.1 solution. Just can't affort to throw too many things away!
    Appreciate any feedback.
    Thanks and cheers,
    Luke

    For the time being, stick with what works. Right nows the approval process form 10g does not exist in 11g so it cannot be migrated. There are a few other changes such as event handlers and entity adapters and pre-populate adapters and i'm sure many more. Wait for 11g to mature a bit more and provide the path you need to upgrade. Your implementation will not end with the current state, just don't be in a hurry to move forward to the 11g version. And remember, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. Unless you are in dire need of the functionality that 11g is going to give over 10g, then stay where you are at for the time being.

  • How to import photos that have same date as existing photos in library?

    I just received some photos from my dad that I've copied onto my mac, but am unable to import to iphoto. I get an error message that iphoto cannot create "/Users/haeyuonkim/Pictures/iPhoto Library/2006/05/23/FH020038.jpg"
    I assume it is because there is already a folder with that exact date in the library.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or work-arounds.

    haeyounkim:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto will import files with the same date and even the same file name. Each new import goes into a new folder. From that message it appears that you're running iPhoto 5. Am I correct? Is so you should be posting in the iPhoto 5 forum were users with more recent V5 experience will be able to help you.
    It may be a permissions issue. Download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    See if that will help.

  • Excel issues with importing CSV or HTML table data from URL - Sharepoint? Office365?

    Greetings,
    We have a client who is having issues importing CSV or HTML table data as one would do using Excel's Web Query import from a reporting application.  As the error message provided by Excel is unhelpful I'm reaching out to anyone who can help us begin to
    troubleshoot problems affecting what is normal standard Excel functionality.  I'd attach the error screenshot, but I can't because my account is not verified....needless to say it says "Microsoft Excel cannot access  the file https://www.avantalytics.com/reporting_handler?func=wquery&format=csv&logid=XXXX&key=MD5
    Where XXXX is a number and MD5 is an md5 code.  The symptoms stated in the error message are:
    - the file name or path does not exist
    -The file is being used by another program
    -The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
    None of these symptoms are the case, naturally. The user encountered this with Excel2010, she was then upgraded to Excel2013 and is still experiencing the same issue. The output of this URL in a browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox) is CSV data for the affected
    user, so it is not a network connectivity issue.  In our testing environment using both Excel2010 or 2013 this file is imported successfully, so we cannot replicate.  The main difference I can determine between our test environment and the end-user
    is they have a Sharepoint installation and appear to have Office365 as well.
    So,  my question might more appropriately be for Sharepoint or Office365 folks, but I can't be sure they're  a culprit.  Given this - does anyone have any knowledge of issues which might cause this with Sharepoint or Office365 integrated with
    Excel and/or have suggestions for getting more information from Excel or Windows other than this error message?  I've added the domain name as a trusted publisher in IE as I thought that might be the issue, but that hasn't solved anything.  As you
    can see its already https and there is no authentication or login - the md5 key is the authentication.  The certificate for the application endpoint is valid and registered via GoDaddy CA.
    I'm at a loss and would love some suggestions on things to check/try.
    Thanks  -Ross

    Hi Ross,
    >> In our testing environment using both Excel 2010 and 2013 this file is imported successfully, so we cannot replicate.
    I suspect it is caused by the difference of web server security settings.
    KB: Error message when you use Web query to a secure Web page (HTTPS://) in Excel: "Unable to open"
    Hope it will help.
    By the way, this forum is mainly for discussing questions about Office Development (VSTO, VBA and Apps for Office .etc.). For Office products feature specific questions, you could consider posting them on
    Office IT Pro forum or Microsoft Office Community.

  • I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter.  If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
    How large a date change are you putting in?  iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time.  If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
    If that is not the case:
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
    Let me know the results.

  • Date bug in import process: 2 sets of dates from same-day shots

    I took some photos the other day using my Canon 400D. Some were taken around 1:00 pm, and another series of them were taken around 4:00 pm. I then went to import them into Lightroom from a CompactFlash card, using a cardreader, by using the organize by date option with the format 2005\2005-12-17. When Lightroom's import process gathered the file data for the images, I discovered that there were two sets of dates, viz. 2007\2007-02-24 and 2007\2007-02-25. Considering that I was doing the import on 2007-02-24, the second date was quite in error.
    I checked the EXIF data and the files seemed OK. The timestamps on the files on the card were also as expected.
    I then manually copied the image files to a temporary folder on my PC. When I pointed Lightroom's import function to that folder, lo and behold, the files were picked up and the correct single date for the target folder was set up for me.
    Has anyone else come across this problem? Any suggestions how to work around it from WITHIN Lightroom if it occurs again?
    Witold

    Are you by chance using Vista? That would be a "Known issue", the workaround being copying the images to the hard drive and importing from there instead of importing directly from the card/camera.

  • Azure Backup fails with error 0x003E6 after data transmission (Protection Agent Failure)

    On a Windows Essentials 2012 Server (German) I had Azure Backup up and running for several months.
    (Probably) After adding features to support Remote Access, Azure Backup stopped working.
    The backup schedule executes and transfers all data, than it constantly fails with the error:
    "Fehler beim Vorgang aufgrund eines Schutz-Agent-Fehlers. Wiederholen Sie den Vorgang (0x003E6)" which translates to the english "The operation failed because of a protection agent failure. Retry the operation (0x003E6)".
    An update of the Backup Agent to the latest version did not resolve the issue.
    Does anybody know details about this error and the reason behind it?
    Regards,
    Dominik

    Hi Dominik,
    First please check if there is any new policy was set such as a throttle for uploading data, or a firewall was enabled before the issue occurs. 
    There is no enough information for finding out the exact cause. Please also check if there is any error and event logs. These can be found in the Application Event log under WindowsAzureBackup.
    Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and un-mark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected]

  • Error importing Incoming Payments using the Data Transfer Workbench

    Every time I try to import Incoming Payments using the Data Transfer Workbench I get an error that the Update Failed - Can not find this object in B1Application-defined or object-defined error65171. I'm using the 3 templates for Payments, Payments_Checks and Payments_Invoices. I've filled them out as I've seen in other postings in this forum. Based on the error message, I really can't tell what I'm doing wrong. Could someone please take a look at my files and let me know what might be causing the error?

    Hi Suda,
    As far as I can tell from the threads you forwarded (and other searches I've done on here), my files are correct. I tried filling out the templates exactly as explained in the first link (see my data below) but it still isn't working. It just gives me the same generic error.

    Payments_Invoices
    RecordKey....DocEntry.....SumApplied
    1..................31791..........78.7
    Is it correct that the Payments file should not contain anything in the DocEntry column? (I know that the DocEntry in my Invoices file is the DocEntry of the Invoice). I have a feeling that I'm making a stupid mistake somewhere but I just can't figure it out. Any ideas?
    I really appreciate your help with this.
    Thanks,

  • How do I import photos to directories by date

    I have a Canon EOS 60D camera. It came with the software from Canon for Windows which creates folders by date and imports the photos onto the respective folders (by date). I would like to get the same functionality on Mac either through iPhoto or some other application? I know iPhoto by default stores all pictures under iPhoto library file and you have to use iPhoto to access the photos. Is there a way to save the photos by directories with date format when I download the photos from my DSLR? I back up the photos to external hard drive and I switch that drive between my Mac and Windows machines, so having the photos stored by directories with dates will be easier for me to share with Windows machine. Any help is appreciated.
