Can't make virtual copy

I am unable to create a virtual copy of photos in just one of my Collections. Try to make a virtual copy results in "no photo selected" in navigator. I switched to another Collection and had no problem. Any ideas?

Bill, Lightroom 2.3 is so much better than Lightroom 2.0 or 1.x for the vast majority of Lightroom users that it's worth the trouble. I don't blame you for being reluctant to go through an 18 hour download, but it's definitely the thing to try. Do you have a friend, or workplace, with broadband access who can download it for you in a minute or two and put it on a USB key, or burn it to a CD? As you probably know, it will install as a free upgrade and link itself automatically to your LR 2.0 key, even if it's downloaded on another PC, once it's installed to yours.
I also see, now that the other two threads I was referring to pop on the right of this display under "More Like This".

Do you have to down load from the internet using apple's recover partition, every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?

Do you have to down load Mountain Lion from the internet every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?
Thanks

Yes you can make a USB stick of Lion or Mt Lion. Use Lion Disk Maker after you download OS X from the internet.
For Lion you have to point the download to an external drive and watch when it completes and reboots the system to start the install disconnect the external. If you bought Mt Lion from the Mac App Store then you can download it from there and just cancel the install when it comes up on the desktop.
If you are downloading from the Recovery HD or from the Online Internet Recovery system, slightly different then the built in Recovery HD, then again you need to point it to an external drive and discoonect that drive when the system reboots to start the real install.
Then use Lion disk maker to create either a DVD disc or USB thumb of the install files.

How can I make a COPY/duplicate of an Event in iPhoto11

I need to make a copy of an 'event' I have in iPhoto on iMac. I want the original event in tacked; I want to remove photos on the COPY.
Thanks - Jose

You can't, really. You could export the photos from iPhoto, then import them as a new event, but that would be pointless.
Why not just export from the Event? It won't remove the photos from iPhoto you know?
File -> Export

How can I make a copy of the FAQs module or filter on language?

Hi,
is it possible to make a copy of the FAQs module? I need to have FAQs in different languages.
I can add event, photo, news ands media modules but not a new FAQs module.
I also found that you can add a category and display the FAQs with the filter: cr or individual filter. But where do I add the category name to filter on?

Solved!
Quick solution: the ID is used for the category name, so I need to do a time consuming process to find the id.
Result:
{module_faq,c,19227,,ajax,}
Great!

How can I make a copy of my book project?

I made a book for myself with photos from our summer holidays. Now I want to make a slightly different version for my mum, with more photos of HER in it. So I wanted to make a copy of my book album, so I can have one version that's the book I made for me and another which is the alternative version for my mum.
How the heck do I do that though? I can't burn the book album to CD, I can't duplicated the whole folder, and I can't even figure out how to copy all the photos I've used into another folder so I can redo the book layout stuff.
I really don't want to have to go through all the five hundred photos we took this summer and start from scratch...

You want to do both in your copy of iPhoto, right?
Right/control click on the book project and select duplicate and edit the duplicate (book not the folder since the book is more or less how you want it).
The photos in the book folder are not actual photos, just aliases to the one copy you store in the iPhoto directory, so make a copy of the book and edit that.
None of the albums in iPhoto are the actual photos. You can make ten albums and put say, 100 identical photos in each one, and the size of the overall iPhoto library doesn't go up. They are just pictures of the photos if that makes sense. If you delete the album, the album is gone but in the library the photos are still all there.

Can I make a copy of an AdvancedDataGrid Item Renderer?

I have manual drag-and-drop functionality built in to my
AdvancedDataGrid (ADG). Right now, I am building my own custom drag
proxy using a Container instance and grabbing the text to use from
the "selectedItem" property. This creates a suitable image to drag.
However, what I'd really like to do is have the drag proxy look
exactly like the item renderer of the item I'm dragging. I don't
want the whole row, though, only one cell - that's why I can't use
the ADG's "dragImage" property. When I run the code below to
attempt to make a copy of the itemRenderer instance, the
itemRenderer in the ADG for the source item is cleared out - the
label disappears. Is there some way to make just a "copy" of the
itemRenderer instance, so that it doesn't disappear from the
ADG?

The itemRenderer is made by the ADG using the ClassFactory of
the
itemRenderer class.
I think you can search for the appropriate ClassFactory for
that column,
then make a new renderer from that Factory. Set its data
and/or listData to
the same as the existing renderer.
This might look something like this:
var factory:IFactory;
var renderer:IListItemRenderer;
//populate factory with the appropriate renderer factory
//you need to do this part
factory=?;
renderer = factory.getInstance();
renderer.data=selectedItemRenderer.data;
renderer.listData=selectedItemRenderer.listData;
proxyBox.addChild(DisplayObject(renderer));
You also might find that you can shortcut this by using new
(getDefinitionByName(selectedItemRenderer.className)) instead
of the
factory.

How can I make printed copy of photo CD

I have a folder of images that I will burn to CD. How can I make a printed copy of those images with text to file with the CD?
imac g5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You can print a contact sheet with titles in iPhoto 6. I searched the iPhoto 5 forum and found a workaround from Ken.
" Instead of Print, Contact Sheet use Share, Export, Web Page. .The "contact sheet" will be the thumbnails so be sure to select the Show title and Show comment boxes. Create a webpage, open it in your browser and print from there."
And more detailed directions from Elizabeth Kley:
"Creating Contact Sheet with Titles
1 - Put the files you want to print in an album and arrange in the order you'd like.
2 - Go to the File->Export->Web Page menu option.
3 - While in the Web page window, select the number of thumbnails you'd like across each page (iPhoto will keep you informed on how many pages it will take).
4 - Click on Show Title under thumbnails and click on Export. Then select the location where you'd like the resulting files to be saved (create a temporary folder to contain them).
5 - Once saved, go the folder and open the index.html file with your browser. You will get a page with your thumbnails and titles beneath them.
6 - Print that browser page and you've got your contact sheet with file names (or comments if desired). "
Is this what you had in mind?

Once iDVD has been used to create a DVD, how can I make another copy?

This may be a rookie question, but because of my bad history with computers, I generally don't like to use too much of my hard drive. I have a lot of family videos in iMovie now, and I want to be able to make a DVD and delete the originals from my hard drive. I also want to be able to make another copy of the DVD later.
Is there a way to do that with just the Mac or is something else needed...since it seems that I am essentially burning DVDs?

If you do a 'Save As Disk Image' from within your iDVD project when you have finished it, you will be making a disk image file for that project. Disk image files are self-contained, thus all the media information is encoded into the disk image file. You can then safely delete all the photos, movies, music files that were used to create your iDVD project and still retain the ability to burn more DVDs of that project in the future.
You use Disk Utility to burn more copies.
I save disk image files for all of my iDVD projects and place those files on a large external hard drive.

How can I make a copy of a song, change the album cover of the copy, but have the original stay the same?

So, this is going to take some time to explain, but I'm going to try it.
I'm trying to build a compilation playlist with songs from other albums. I want to change the name of the album in the info of the song and the cover for the new playlist. When I do this, the original copy changes as well. I don't want this to happen. Is it possible to avoid this?

Frankly I would just make your album a playlist and live with the original album names in the individual items.
If you really want to name them individually you will have to make copies of the files and add them a second time to iTunes. One easy way to do this is drag the tracks you want to a different drive (it could just be a flash drive). It will make copies of the files on that other drive. Now drag them back to an empty playlist window. That way you will be able to keep them separate from the original track until you can rename them. In dragging back to iTunes it will put a copy in the iTunes folders so you will end up with two copies of the files, the second one for editing.

Can I make a Copy of Address Book?

Hi,
I really like Address Book. I have a group of children that I'd like to make a list of. They are all part of a program that was formed back in 1992. Our club has recruited about 1300 since then and I would like to make use of Address Book as a way to track and record them. I have a directory in a Word category, but it doesn't work the way Address Book does, and is difficult to use sometimes. The notes section of Address Book where a majority of data would obviously be placed, would also be a great way to keep contact with them if we have any activity that may interest them.
My questions are:
1. Can a copy of Address Book be made so that I can have Address Book #1 which I currently use, and then #2 for the children in the program?
2. If this can be done, would I be able to keep a separate mail program to track correspondence?
Thank you for any help!

For the Address Book, you can simply create a Group for your club. Click the + sign in the bottom left corner, and create two (or more Groups). You may want one for your club, one for your personal contacts. When you click on that Group, you will see only those contacts. This is your best bet if you want to stick with Address Book for this.
If you want two truly separate address books, that is more difficult to manage. You can have a personal address book, and use File > Back up Address Book to save that as an archive. Then delete those entries and put your club members in. Then use File > Back up Address Book again to create an archive of that book (give it a different name!!). To switch between books, use the File > Revert to Address Book Backup command to load the other book. You will need to re-back up each book every time you make a change to it else the changes will be lost. That's why you're better off using the Groups - that's what they're for!
As for Mail, again, separate programs are not the best solution. You can set up a different email account specific for your club emails (with your ISP, gmail, whatever) and different User Profiles in Mail for your personal email account and your club email account. If you are going to use only one email account, you can set create a folder in Mail to store your club emails, and you may consider a filter to sort replies from those 1300 people into a folder automatically.
Hope this helps...

Can I make Virtual Host accessible to local network only?

On our web server (with only one interface and IP address), we have two virtual hosts:
-An intranet site which should not be viewed by general public.
-A public website accessible by general public over the internet.
How do I ensure that our web server only serves the intranet site to the local 192.168.0.0/16 network, whilst still allowing anyone to view the public website?

Quick thoughts. You can handle this a few ways. Here are two fast ones.
You can just use the host name and order your virtual hosts public first, private second. Then make sure that the URL for the public site is the only one on you public DNS. For example, if you have two VHs, www.yourdomain.com and wiki.yourdomain.com. Then on the public DNS servers, create a record for the www host only. That way, if the wiki host is entered outside of the environment, it will not resolve to an address. Now if you are using wildcards on the outside, then this may cause some issues and I can not predict this early in the morning if the wildcard would resolve to the primary VH or pass the URL in the header.
So the other option is to modify the directory container within the virtual host file. For example, your VH file has a Directory container that probably looks something like this.
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
Options All -Includes -ExecCGI -Indexes +MultiViews
AllowOverride None
<IfModule mod_dav.c>
DAV Off
</IfModule>
</Directory>
And to it the following:
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 192.168
This will restrict access the to the 192.168 subnet. Refine it more if needed to 192.168.0 etc.
Hope this helps

Can anyone make a copy of os 9 for me

Ok so I recently booted up my Ibook g3 Ive had for years and played around with it. I went on startup disk and changed it to "Machintosh HDD" then I rebooted it and now it gets to the screen with the grey apple and freeze's the loading thing and say's in the top right; "/etc/master.passwd: No such file or directory" and it also says it on the second line. I can type commands. My only solution I have worked out is that I get a new os 9 disk as i do not have mine any longer and restore the hard drive, However I cannot seem to find any on the internet or anywhere. I do not care about any files on the laptop so I'm up for restoring in any way shape or form. I hope someone has a solution as I am really desperate!!!!!!!
Thanks Tom.

Some additional notes:
There were two 800 MHz iBooks. The earlier one had a Combo drive (reads and writes CDs and reads DVDs).
The later one (which is the one you've told me you have) has a CD-ROM drive which only reads CDs.
Here is a link to Apple's list of specs on that model:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP100
Also, here is a link to the software builds:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2191
This may help you in the quest for the software.
Again, good luck.

What's the point of a virtual copy if it can't be in a different folder from the master?

When I spotted "Make virtual copy" on the context menu, I thought "Great - I can organize my photos in different ways without wasting disk space by using aliases!"
But when I tried to move the virtual copy to another folder, LR said Nope!
So I moved the master - and the copy moved with it.
What am I missing? I've seen the reference to Smart Collections, but they seem to be based on ratings or flags, not arbitrary subject-matter groupings.
So I created a "dumb collection" (my term, in distinction from the automatic groupings), made virtual copy and copied the virtual copy to the collection.
Then I then went back to the original folder and deleted the virtual copy from the original folder.
It vanished from the collection as well.
Is a virtual copy merely a way to make and save an alternative edit of a photo - but only in the same folder as the original?

A virtual copy is virtual. It is a record of the processing settings you made held in the database. LR never makes changes to the original files and does not create copies of original files (except on import if you so choose). A new file is created on export with the processing settings recorded in the database. The folder structure is irrelevant to LR other than LR needs to know where the file is on your computer.A virtual copy does not make an actual copy anywhere on your hard drive. It takes up no space as it is just a few lines of metadata recorded in the catalog. Hence virtual copy.
The point is that you may require several different versions of the same image file, different crops, different processing settings etc. These can all be recorded in the catalog and when you require the particular version you export it. On export it can be sent anywhere you like.
I would suggest you have a look at the LR manual through the help system (press F1 when LR is open) and have a look at some of the video tutorials in order to understand the basics of LR

How can I make a second copy so I can make some changes, but lose the original document?

How can I make a copy of my new pdf convert to word document without losing the original document?

Hi mariponce,
Is it the Word document that you want to make a copy of, or the PDF? In either case, you can choose File > Save As (in the appropriate application), and give the file a new name. For example, if you have a file named "HappyTimes.docx," you could choose File > Save As, and name the file "HappyTimes2.docx." Then, you'll have two Word files, and you can edit one and leave the other intact.
Best,
Sara
