Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any originals?

Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any original photos? Thank you.

Simply: iPhoto is a database. Like all databases it requires that you manipulat the data via the tools provided and not through backdoors. If you delete matter managed by iPhoto (or for that matter, any database) through some other means then the database will be unaware of the deletions. The database will not reflect the changes and you'll have significant issues going forward with iPhoto.
So, to be really, really clear: if you delete Photos managed by iPhoto via the All Images search you will corrupt your Library.
It's your computer, your images and your iPhoto. You have the information, you decide how to use it.

Is there a fix for skipping or repeating songs, or for the voice over to come on without pushing any buttons?

Is there a fix for skipping or repeating songs, or for the voice over to come on without pushing any buttons?
I only use this 5th generation Shuffle when I run. I don't have headphone issues because I use running headphones meant to handle sweat. However, my Shuffle will, halfway through a song, go back to the beginning, play a few seconds and jump back to the beginning again. Also, when this starts happening, the Voice-over comes on again and again with no buttons being pushed. I keep the Shuffled clipped to the waistband of my running shorts, so it probably does get a little sweatty, but not like it would if it were clipped to the collar of my shirt!
Is this a problem I'm going to have to live with? I never had this issue with my old Shuffle, which was the first of the clip-on Sheffles.

Hi punisherbv,
Are you using the beta? it's not fully secure, so try using Firefox 3 instead. If you are already using Firefox 3, it seems like what Firefox is saying is correct- the site is not supplying identity information. So what you could do is go to that exact site, then click on the little golden lock at the very corner of the page. Then, enter the 'permissions' tab and allow everything. Exit, and then try bookmarking the page!

How can I convert an outlook pst file to mac mail without using a windows based computer

I recently bought the new iMac as my older Windows based computer crashed with a bad motherboard. I have been trying to find a way to convert Outlook 2007 pst files to Mac Mail without the need to use a Windows based computer since all I have now is a Mac. I have the copies of the pst files on my Mac, so I am looking for the most efficient way to convert them to the format that I can then open them in the Mac Mail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - thanks for the instructions but where do you get the option for Quicktime. If I do File - Export I only get the options for File name, place and size but no option that allows to select quicktime:-(
Have you got any more tips?

Cansomeone please tell me what the simplest way is to backup your files from you Mac and then completely restore it back to when I first bought it? I do not want to download or purchase any software, and I would like to keep my important files-pics, music

I just would like to completely reset my MAC. I dont want to have to download or purchase a software to download, and I dont quite understand what the time machine is supposed to do if you have not been told to use if before. Shouldn't mac have some type of in home software already installed? And how can I completely restore my mac back to its original system?

1: Connect a external powered drive like a Firewire or USB drive. If you question the drive format or need to format it, first do that in Disk Utility before transfering any files to the drive. MSDOS, FAT32 or exFAT is best for any Windows or Mac to access the files.
2: Transfer your files manually by dragging and dropping your Users Folders like Pictures, Movies, Documents and Music (do not use TimeMachine!!) Eject the drive and disconnect from the computer.
3: Next insert the cd that came with your computer and reboot holding c
4: Two screens in is a menu option called "Utilities" select Disk Utility.
5: On the left is your internal boot drive, select it and Erase > Format HFS+ Journaled > Security Option > Zero All Data. Wait about a hour or so until it's finished.
6: When it's done, quit and your back in the installer again, install OS X and when finished, shut down.
The next time the computer reboots, it will go through the "welcome" video and the initial setup, just like a new Mac.

Can you burn dvd's in PSE 11 without purchasing more software?

I just upgraded from PSE 7 because I had problems with sharing and burning dvd's, now it seems that I can not burn a cd or dvd without buying more software. What am I missing here?

The options in PSE have always been limited where it’s possible to create a data disk for viewing on computers or a back-up disk. Windows users can create a wmv file and then use that in the free Windows DVD maker to create a DVD which can be played on a TV but it’s a bit cumbersome. Ideally you should have purchased the combo Photoshop+Premiere Elements which is the best value, imho and which will give you lots of output options for DVD, Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook etc. I had a similar problem some years ago but managed to get my store to exchange PSE for PSE/PRE.

Lost my entire "desktop" after restoring files with Wondershare Dr. Fone. Does anyone know how to get it back without purchasing their software?

I was trying to recover a deleted text message and used Wondershare Dr. Fone to load previously deleted messages.
I didn't find the message that I was looking for, but when I went back to my "desktop" - all my apps were rearranged and there was a photo I had set as the background 2 years ago. When I opened their program again to try and restore my desktop, I was prompted to purchase their software, which I cannot affort to do.
Like many people, I rely on my phone almost as much as an extra appendange and am clueless as to how I can recover my icloud, apps, etc without spending any money.
Do you have any suggestions. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing

Pretty bad reviews for that software.

How can I record a Midi download to itunes

I have a spider jam amp that allows for jam and midi songs to be recorded onto a SD card and then used as a play along with the AMP.
I Downloaded several and own a few on sheet music included CD's and put them into iTunes and created a wav file transfered to a SD card and they work and play fine in the AMP.
Unfortunately and not realizing, I purchased a bunch from Guitar Instructor.com and there is not way I can get them transferred into iTunes or the Toast 8 program I have.
I am not interested in high quality for recording I just want to be able to play along for improvement.
Is there a way thru GarageBand that I can record thru the speakers or from the speakers back into GB ?
I know there is a built in mike and am hoping something like that will work.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi:
Sorry it I mislead you with saying MIDI files.
They are not downloaded onto my computer.
I have to access the song via the internet.
it is a digital library account that is set up for the songs I purchased.
I click on a "play now" button (next to each song I purchased) and it plays.
I cannot drag and drop anything from the list.
That is why I am trying to find out how to record from the speakers while the song is playing.
the sound may not be the best quality but it is usable.
I somehow remember years ago when GB came out I thought you could record into GB via a computer microphone.
I hope I made myself a little clearer.
IOW's : Can the sound playing from the built in computer speakers of the iMAC be recorded back into GB.
Thanks, if I am still not explaining it right hopefully some additional questions can be asked and I can answer them.

The slideshow feature in iPhoto: Can we record or create a file of it?

one month into my first Mac and I keep get blowing away by its features. Today I started using the iPhoto and imported all my pictures from my pc into it.
WOW
from a dry, dumb, still pictures, using the iPhoto's slideshow tool, I can now have a slideshow so professional that it makes me look like a hot shot director... what with the music and all that as the slideshow runs.
BUT
Can I convert the slideshow into a video file or something so I can upload it on my blog?
PLEASE PLEASE SAY IT IS POSSIBLE AND easy to do this...
(sorry for the caps... am too excited by seeing the slideshow effects in iPhoto)

That's very simple...Under "file" choose Export. Choose the resolution/screen size, hit ok. Save to your desktop or somewhere else, then hit export button. A Quicktime movie will be produced and you're set and ready to put this moviejust about anywhere. Good luck.

How can I re-link multiple "missing" files from my iTunes without doing each one manually?

All of a sudden, hundreds of my songs can't be played because iTunes can't find the files. They are all still on my computer and I can link each of them manually, but that would take days! Is there a way to re-link multiple files at once?

Something must have been done to break the link. Did you manually move files or folders, rename files or folders, or otherwise change where iTunes thinks the files are located? Did iTunes crash at some point?
I haven't seen any truly successful tools to re-link tracks. You can check on Dougscripts website where there's one that uses Spotlight. There's also one that tries to re-link based upon your file being in a logical folder structure.
You could re-link by adding the files again. Of course they will be added as brand new files and not in playlists, and won't have ratings, etc. You can then use one of Dougscripts to automatically remove dead links.

I can't open an autorun.inf file on my macbook, what should I do?

I have a problem because I want to open a CD that has autorun.inf documents on it. It is actually a CD that has drivers lisence tests on it and it is definitely not just written text. I read on the Internet that it can only be opened on Windows. Please tell me this is not true since this is the only computer I own. Thanks in advance

Definitely Windows only > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorun.inf
Mac OS X cannot read an .inf file.

Is it the case that I can't back up all my files (including those created with third party software) to iCloud as I did with iDisk?

It seems as if icloud only wants me to save files to iCloud that I create with a few iCloud compatible apps (mail, pages, numbers, keynote). I used iDisk as an off-site back up for many of my most important files, including those created with 3rd party apps. Is it the case that I can no longer do that?

There are a number of alternatives to iDisk for file storage, most of them much faster. This page examines some of them:

How can I transfer backed up Mac files to a PC without a Mac

I killed my MacBook Pro and I cannot afford at this time to get a new one or fix the current one. I have Time Capsule with a good backup of my files. Can I transfer those files (pics & documents) to a PC without a working Mac ?

No, not if the backup is Time Machine..
Ask a friend to help you .. who has a mac.. and you can then open the TM backup and grab your files and copy them across the network.. although buying a USB drive would be better.

How can I batch process CR2 raw files to tif's without losing color adjustments?

Working in BRidge and Photoshop CS6:
I have 160 color adjusted hi-res CR2 RAW files from my photographer, thought I was getting tifs. I need tifs for my INdesign file. I tried using the photoshop image proecessor through brige by selecting all my images and then saving as TIFFs but I am losing all my color correcting? Is there a way to save these out as tiffs as a group and not one at a time? I also might have lost my color correcting when I copies them all to one folder as well...not sure what is happening except now my great product shots look like crap. Please help.

Simply drag the entire folder through Bridge—or even individual files—the invisible xmp files containing your adjustments will automatically and invisibly travel along with the image files, as long as you do it within Bridge, not through the OS.
Otherwise, you would need to set your Mac OS to always make invisible files visible, and you don't want that hassle.
Just use Bridge to move files around or to copy them to a new folder.
