Can I save Projects in their entirety (with photos) for future printing?

Hi - I have 15 iPhoto books that I would like to have printed. I have built these books with photos selected from a group of roughly 12,000 in my iPhoto library. I would like to have the books printed and then archive my photos to DVDs and delete them from my computer in order to be able to load on new photos. Is there any way to export my "Projects" to a DVD such that if, for some reason, one of the books that I had printed got damaged, I could easily reinsert the DVD and upload the project for printing again (with all of the photo and photo edits/cropping fully intact)? Given what I have been able to glean so far, it seems as though there is no mechanism for backing up projects for development say 5 years hence without keeping all of one's photos on a drive together. For me, this is not feasible... Do you have any suggestions? Many thanks for any help you are able to offer!

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.

The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

Adobe After Effects CC can't save project on OSX Mavericks

Can not save my projects I have created in Adobe After Effects CC since I have upgraded to Mavericks. Anyone else having this issue?

What you are describing is almost certainly a problem with permissions set for the folder that you're trying to save to.
We've seen the same problem with the preferences folder, so I've been giving this advice a lot:
Set the permissions for the entire /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.0/ folder to be writable.
If that doesn't work, then uninstall After Effects (being certain to choose the option to remove all preferences) and then reinstall it.
This messup of permissions happens when Mac OS doesn't correctly preserve permissions of various folders when you upgrade an operating system, rather than installing the new operating system fresh.

Suddenly can't save project, getting error message. VERY FRUSTRATING!!

I've been working on a project for a client over the last couple of weeks and is nearing completion. Everything was working great, when suddenly I tried saving and I got the error message:
"An error occurred. Please save your work and restart Edge Animate."
Please help, this is very aggravating!
If I have to restart or can't get this problem fixed soon, I won't make the deadline for my client.
I am willing to send the project file to anyone who feels they can help.

Your project is broken on Edge Animate CC (2.0.1). You can try clearing your preferences to see if that clears it up for you:

I'm still working with a developer to see if something weird happened with your project.

Can't render, can't save project - under deadline!

I am working a project that has been going swimmingly for days. Suddenly it's all gone downhill on the day it is supposed to be submitted.
Here are the pieces of the puzzle that I have found so far:
1) I cannot save the project. The message I get says "File error: a file of this name already exists
2) When I try to circumvent that by renaming the project and using "Save project as" I get "General error" with no number to identify it
3) The autosave gets an "access denied" error
4) Nothing will render. Everything is checked in the pull-down menu, preferences trashed, etc. I ran through every fix I could find in these discussions, as they have saved me many times before, but nothing will get it to render. The progress bar flashes up for a split second then disappears.
Any help would be much appreciated! This thing is due in two hours!
Thanks,
JT

This might not work but it's worth a shot. Keep your project open and start a new project. Copy everything in your browser from the current project to the new project and then see if you can save the new project with a different name. This has worked for me in the past on projects that just seem to get corrupted somehow.
Have you recently changed permissions for anything? May want to do a 'Get Info" in Finder on your project file, render location, etc. to make sure you have proper permissions to those locations.

Can't save project, get "operation not allowed" warning

Has anyone else ever experienced not being able to save a project? I'm in a bit of a tricky situation as I can't save my project. When I do, I get a "operation not allowed" warning (see screenshot).
Have tried everything (different project name, different location, etc.) and also checked whether there are any permission / write access issues with my hard disks, but I can copy around files on the disk without any problem.
If anyone has a solution for this would be greatly appreciated, as I'd hate to lose my progress on the project by having to quit without saving
Thanks!
Tim

Not a perfect solution, but definitely helpful and smart Thanks Michael!

How can I save pages as a document with the new Mavericks version of pages?

Is there any way to save a pages document as a Microsoft document? Additionally, is there any way to save a numbers document as an Excel document?
Since I have downloaded the new Mavericks software with the new Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, I can't save anything as a Microsoft document anymore. Can anyone please help? I'm a student needing an answer because most institutions only use Microsoft. This is an extremely upsetting fall back for Apple if there isn't a way to accomplish these activities.
Also, if anyone has any information if Apple is going to provide new drivers for old HP printers and scanners, please inform me. My multi-functional printer is obsolete (according to a phone conversation with HP). Currently, I have to jump through hoops to get the scanner to work and Preview crashes most of the time (with the Mavericks update).

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iWork does not let you save a document as an Office document by default, so you have to do some extra steps. First open the document and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export to, and choose the Office app to create a document for Microsoft Office.
Respecting to printer drivers, Apple does not provide newer drivers for an obsolete printer. Instead, see if Gutenprint works > http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

Can't save file on iOS device with low free space available

Hi,
I was using SharedObject to save settings in my game. However, recently I discovered on one of our devices it doesn't work. I've found somewhere on this forum discussion that air can't save sharedobject when available space is lower than about 300mb (link here: Bug#3711301 - sharedobjects fail when available storage is low). On my iphone it's about 40mb, but file, which I want to save is just 2 variables.. persistenceManager doesn't work too (well i've looked at source and it's just using SharedObject). So i've decided to just write file by myself:
declarations:
public var mute:Boolean = false;
public static var fullId:String = "";
then in constructor:
flash.net.registerClassAlias("Settings", GameSettings);
load();
and finally save() and load() functions:
public function save():void
try {
log("begin save()");
var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("settings.txt");
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
var settings:GameSettings = new GameSettings();
settings.fullId = fullId;
settings.mute = mute;
stream.writeObject(settings);
stream.close();
log("end save()");
catch (error:Error) {
log("[ERROR] " + error.name + ": " + error.message + "\n" + error.getStackTrace());
public function load():void
try {
log("begin load()");
var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("settings.txt");
if(!file.exists){
log("settings.txt does not exist, created new one..");
save();
return;
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
var settings:GameSettings = stream.readObject() as GameSettings;
mute = settings.mute;
fullId = settings.fullId;
log("loaded mute = " + mute);
log("loaded fullId = " + fullId);
stream.close();
log("end load()");
catch (error:Error) {
log("[ERROR] " + error.name + ": " + error.message + "\n" + error.getStackTrace());
My GameSettings class:
package
public class GameSettings
public var fullId:String;
public var mute:Boolean;
public function GameSettings()
This works on desktop, android. Works on my ipad too, which has 10gb of free space. However, like I said, it doesn't work on iphone5s with 40mb free memory.
Here's a log:
begin load()
settings.txt does not exist, created new one..
[ERROR] Error: Error #0
     at Autumn/save()
     at Autumn/load()
     at Autumn()
It's clear that AIR can't open or write to 'settings.txt' file. What can I do to solve that issue (other than making more free space on iphone)? Is there any workaround for that?

Any help please?

How can I calculate the number of members with data for a given Dimension

HiI want to be able to calculate the exact size of the data given the number of blocks in existence.I am trying to work out a way of estimating the effect of changing Dimensions from Spare to Dense and to see which Dimensions would be worth it.Currently I have Cost Centre and Reference Code dimensions. I know that roughly 90% of the Cost Centres are used against just one member of Reference Codes but the other 10% are against multiple Reference Codes.I also have a number of other dimensions and the problem I come up against is that when I change a Dimension from Sparse I really don't know how many blocks will be in existence at the end of it so I can't multiply this against the blocksize to predict the total datasize.Any thoughts (the artistic "suck it and see" solution is obvious but I'd like to cut down on experiments - they take too long)Thanks

You can do it manually if you like with code in the Error Console.
Copy and paste the code in the Code field in the Error Console and click the Evaluate button.

Can I use my contact in Mac with icloud for bigger size of my contacts in Mac?

My conact list has 3700 now. My contact in mac book size is 4MB.
Before, I used with icloud. It happended double or triple my contacts and it became a hugh file size and I deleted many same contacts.
At that time, I was afraid to use icloud.
Now, I can't synchronize my contacts in itunes with my iphone5. IOS Maverick only allows my contacts to use with icloud.
Can anyone know if I can use my big contact list with icloud without happening double or triple to be able to use with any devices of my same icloud id name?
Regards,
