Batch place pictures in files according to date

I really like the way PhotoDownloader imports pictures, placing them in folders according to when they were taken.
How can I do the same thing, only instead of downloading from a camera I am moving the pictures from an external hard drive in the "Pictures" folder of my Mac Hard Drive?

If the external HD does not show in the source panel you can't do that. However, if the files contain exif data (most of the files taken with a dslr do contain that) you can simply point Bridge to the folder of that HD, let it cache and after that you can simply rename the files using the option date created and choose the preferred date option.
After this all your files will have the date in front of the file. If you have chosen yyyymmdd you could also choose to create folders for each date and drag and drop the files to them. I archive my Raw files based on daily folders and creating them for a whole year takes only 15 minutes using the tab and arrow keys with copy paste.

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

When I create a calendar, in iphoto 8, I had an information pane lower left corner with date and time of the picture. Can it possibly be that the iphoto developers forgot about that in iphoto 9? This was very helpful when placing images according to date.

Today I updated to the latest iphoto version. The update itself went smooth and nice as one is used to from Apple. But when I wanted to finish my already started calendar, I have encountered two problems. The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto. Instead I have to open the iphtoto library in aperture but then my calendar isn't there. So now I have to copy images back and forth. No problem.
However, the old iphoto had a small information area in the lower left corner which was very nice to place images on an exact date. This seems to be gone...?? Really? How am I supposed to sort images according to date and time when I have to back to the library view every time? That's not very convenient..Or am I missing something?
Thanks for ANY help!

The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto.
THat is exceeding strange since iPhoto '08 could not open or share an Aperture library - that ability was first introduced in iPhoto '11 - with the latest version of iPhoto and or Aperture you can open the same library with either application - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043
In the current version of iPhoto the photos are sorted by date in the film strip - I've not recently done a calendar so do not remember the specifics -

How can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

how can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

Purchasing additional storage only applies to iCloud, not to the phone itself. You cannot purchase additional storage for the phone, only purchase a larger capacity phone. If you have deleted all of the content that you can, then that is all of the space that you have. What is it exactly that you are trying to do? Does this have to do with space for performing an OTA update of the iOS?

Text files not displaying according to date

Hi
I am developing an app that has 365 text files in my local folder, the essence of the app is to display each content of the text file according to the day of the year e.g for feb 3 2015 it will display Devotion34.txt but when i run it on the emulator
is displaying May 14 which is Devotion134.txt i.e it jumps 100 days ahead of the year
This my code below kindly help
xaml.cs
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
List<String> devotions = new List<string>();
// Constructor
public MainPage()
InitializeComponent();
AddDevotions();
int index = DateTime.Now.DayOfYear;
textblock.Text = devotions[index];
// Sample code to localize the ApplicationBar
//BuildLocalizedApplicationBar();
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
int month = dt.Month;
int year = dt.Year;
int index;
if (DateTime.IsLeapYear(year) || (month <= 2))
index = dt.DayOfYear - 1; // list is indexed from 0
else
index = dt.DayOfYear; // add a day
textblock.Text = devotions[index].ToString(); // or some other property
private void AddDevotions()
for (int i = 1; i <= 366; i++)
string filePath = Path.GetFullPath("Devotions/Devotion1" + i.ToString() + ".txt");
if (File.Exists(filePath))
devotions.Add(ReadTextFile(filePath));
else
devotions.Add(string.Format("Devotions file '{0}' was not found.", i));
public string ReadTextFile(string textFilePath)
string text = null;
using (StreamReader r = new StreamReader(textFilePath))
text = r.ReadToEnd();
return text;
Reply soon and thank you in advance
Jayjay john

Seems like in AddDevotions you have a bug:
private void AddDevotions()
for (int i = 1; i <= 366; i++)
string filePath = Path.GetFullPath("Devotions/Devotion1"
+ i.ToString() + ".txt");
Shouldn't the Path be "Devotions/Devotion" + i.ToString()? You have a Devotion1 there which would
explain the 100 days added.

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Place pictures from cloud to gallery

place pictures from cloud to gallery

I need this too - I called 611 and they said there's no way to restore all my data - I have to select every file one by one?? They consider this to be a backup routine??
Or am I not understanding? Am I supposed to LEAVE all my data in the cloud, so I can't get at it when I'm offline?
What am I missing?

Need help with batch processing picture packages

Hi, I am having trouble batch processing picture packages is CS2. (Windows).
I have hundreds of images that need to be processed into picture packages and would love to find a speedier way to do this.
I know how to create an action. I know how to batch process from this action. I also know how to create picture packages, but I cannot get the final result I am after - please read on....
I have seperated all the images into their seperate folders for each style of picture package required.
I can create an action for the picture package required and then do a batch process on the particular folder, but this leaves all the picture packages open on the desktop - as when you chose the close and save in the batch process - this only closes and saves the original image - the picture package has been created as a new document and is on the desktop still open - named Picture Package 1, Picture Package 2 - etc etc.
I hope I am making some kind of sense here... (??!!)
What I would like to happen is that the picture package will be saved over the original file (or to a new folder) with the original file name of the original image or maybe even with an adjustment to file name (e.g - orignal file name sc1234.jpeg - new file name sc1234packA.jpeg)
So is this possible to do?? I'm thinking there must be a way.... i'm sure there are many group photographers out there who come across this everyday??
Otherwise I have to save each picture package manually to original file name (via searching though files to match the original image to the picture package....) Very time consuming.
Thanks for your help (in anticipation)...
Jodie

hmm - thanks for that - sounds like I will have to try and find some info and assistance regarding the scripting - it may be something I need to look into at a later time in the future....
At the moment though I will have to plod along with this method I guess!
Thanks for your assistance...

Using XML File as a Data Server

OK - here's my scenario:
- Have an XML file that I am holding parameters (i.e log file folder) in
- I have set the XML file as a data server (which test connects OK) and created physical and logical schemas in Topology Manager
- In Designer, have created a data model for this file
What I am trying to do is populate/refresh a global variable with a value from the XML file; however, when I make a change to the value in the XML file, the value does not get passed into the variable.
In the global variable, it is set to refresh from the xml data source and in a package I am using a variable step set to refresh but still the data does not update with the current values in the file.
Couple of other things - if I go to the data model and view the data, it sees the value that is in the xml file but the variable is not getting the same value - it seems to be using some kind of cached value. Also, if I close any open ODI apps (Designer, Operator, etc.) and re-open, the values (sometimes) seem to reflect what is in the file.
Crux of the post - am I missing something so obvious that I cannot see it or has anyone else experienced this kind of issue.
Thanks,
Gee

OK - I got this working but in order to do this I followed some info from another post and changed the structure of the XML.
Previously, it was structured as:
<params>
<param>
<name>Test1</name>
<value>Some Value</value>
</param>
<param>
<name>Test2</name>
<value>Some Value2</value>
</param>
</params>
Now I have changed it to:
<params>
<param name="Test1" value="Some Value" />
<param name="Test2" value="Some Value2" />
</params>
I also added the dod=true value into the JDCB url.
Now, one of these circumstances fixed my issue (of which I am very glad) but I don't know which one :-) .... and I currently don't have the time to find out.
I may investigate this further in the future (and post accordingly).
Thanks,
G

The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used

I am trying to restore files from an NT back up on a SBS 2003. The backup was taken on this machine and trying to restore to the same. I get this error: The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used.
I tried copying it to a different machine with no luck. Any suggestions?
Robert

Hi,
Since the backup file cannot be restored on a different machine, the backup file could be corrupt. You need to use some third party recovery utilities to restore the backup file.
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

Not a problem when using iPhoto on a Mac, which the transfer of photos is primarily based on - not manually managing photo storage as seems to be common with Windoze.
The same should be available with a supported photo management app on a PC.
