Changes in iPhoto 09 searching

I have 8000+ photos in my library, many of them scanned from the predigital days. I hope I have my terminology correct, but I have added information for each photo in the DESCRIPTION? area, (the box in the lower left part of the window which toggles vis/non vis when the information button is pressed.
Anyway, with iPhoto 08 and previously, a search would use these works in an "and" fashion. That is, when I typed in "dog" and "Rocky" and "Arkansas" I would see photos of Rocky, the dog, taken in Arkansas. Now, with iPhoto 09 this search seems to be of the "or" variety. That is, if I type in "dog" and "Rocky" and "Arkansas" I get photos "tagged" (here used as my word for any word in the information panel) with any of these search terms: that is I get photos of all dogs, Rocky mountains, and any photo taken in Arkansas?
First, is my description of the difference between the search behavior in iPhoto 09 and previous versions correct?
Second, if so, how can i now search for information panel tags in an "and" manner rather than an "or" manner?
Third (and I hope it doesn't come to this) do I need to convert all of my descriptive words in the description panel to key words for all 8000 plus photos?
I would appreciate any help. Hope my explanation is clear.

I ran into the same problem with the new iPhoto '09. Search now seems to be "or" instead of both if I type in two terms. Like you I have a lot of images (nearly 13,000) and I depend on the old search method. It was VERY easy to find an image. If I wanted to see Kyle Sprankles typing both names in found all images of Kyle Sprankles (because I labeled them). Now it returns any image of Kyle and any images of the rest of his Sprankles family. I sent an iPhoto feedback to Apple before each of the two updates and again after this last one was released. I would recommend that anyone that finds this annoying should do the same thing. I also called 1-800-APL-CARE to get it on the record that way too.
BTW, this also creates a problem for the "Faces" feature. You can't name a face with both names because it will return any 'face' with EITHER name you search.
Fight On!

Changes to iPhoto pics thru Finder now don't appear in iPhoto

I have about 9000 pics in iPhoto6. I spent 7 hours doing a massive organization of them yesterday. Unfortunately, I did all the moving and renaming through the iPhoto library in FINDER. These changes now do NOT appear in iPhoto. I've searched this forum for help and see that TD advised never to do this. Of course, I never suspected changes made in Finder wouldn't be changed in iPhoto. Is there any way to fix or work around this problem so I don't lose all my hard work? We're purchasing iLife8 this week. Don't know if that will help at all?
~kactuskat

I regret to say that you've rather wasted all your hard work.
Upgrading to iLife 08 will not solve this problem.
iPhoto is a database, and like any database requires that you manipulate the data via the app itself. In other words: You do ALL your work in the iPhoto Window and let it look after the files.
Are you using iPhoto 6 now? If so, this will create a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Many people change things in the Finder to make it easier to find the files. There's no need:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

How do you change an iphoto size to 300DPI high res for exporting

How do you change an iphoto to 300 DPI high res for exporting to email?

Short answer: the dpi is set when you decide what size you're printing at.
Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

To export: File -> Export.

What setting do I need to change to have a search result file (pdf. or whatever) open instead of automatically download?

Firefox downloads files automatically when opening a opening a search result. What setting do I need to change to have the search result file (pdf. or whatever) open instead? Something changed yesterday and I lost the ability to open the files vs. download.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== July 7, 2010

Hello,
Normally, when I use my online account, when i select a document to open with excel or with adobe, the applicaiton installed on the PC, is used to open the files.
Can you check the under control panel, default programs, and see what program is associated to the PDF files?
When you try to open one of those pdf files from your back, what happens?
If you download them to the HDD, are they automatically associated to ADOBE?
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON

How do I change color of hyperlink search results in WebHelp Pro?

I'm trying to figure out how to change the color of search result hyperlinks when using WebHelp Pro in RH8. The links currently are vibrant blue and purple after clicked on. I can't find anywhere in the style sheet or in the skin editor options to define this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In your .css file, use something like the following; the "A:" would be your default link, and the "A.topic:" would be a different class of link (we use it for some in-topic navigation links). Note that the order in which the qualifiers appear is important. Follow the LoVeHate method (Link, Visited, Hover).
Feel free to try it and use your own combinations (you might not want the expanded letter-spacing, for example). We also reversed the underline format from the default html (none for link and visited, underline for hover).
A:link,
A:visited {
color: #0000CD;
letter-spacing: 0.25pt;
text-decoration: none;
A:hover {
color: #000080;
letter-spacing: 0.25pt;
text-decoration: underline;
You would add the class=topic qualifier to your links for this class of link (a class=topic href="targettopic.htm")
A.topic:link,
A.topic:visited {
color: #0000CD;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: normal;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-top: 0pt;
margin-bottom: 0pt;
letter-spacing: 0.25pt;
text-decoration: none;
A.topic:hover {
color: #000080;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: 0.25pt;
margin-top: 0pt;
margin-bottom: 0pt;
margin-left: 10px;
text-decoration: underline;
Good luck,

Apply changes in iphoto from ipad to mac?

I made some changes in some pics on my ipad's iphoto. I tried to apply those changes on the pics I had in my mac by syncronizing with itunes, but changes were not made.
Any idea on how to apply changes?

iPhoto from iPhone or iPad does not at this time sync with iPhoto on the Mac.

IPhoto Keyword Search Not Functioning Correctly

I'm finally getting around to organizing my 20,000+ photos in iPhoto. I am attaching keywords to the individual pictures and have noticed something very curious: When I go to iPhoto's search box and type in a keyword, often many pictures that are not tagged with that keyword are returned.
For example, I can type in the keyword "sign" and pictures from my wedding are returned as though they contain this keyword. I've double-checked the picture filenames, descriptions, faces, keywords, and places, and nowhere do I see the word "sign" associated with these photos. It happens with other keywords I enter into the search box, too. Totally unrelated photos - sometimes lots of them - are returned, rendering the whole process relatively ineffective.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
TIA for any assistance. I'm frustrated, having spent all this time associating keywords to my photos, only to have the keyword search option not effectively work for me!

I understand why the text search for sign brings up the Surround Sound Signs photos as it's just a text search.
Might be database corruption. Try this: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

When i type any word in address bar, it is search by "speedbit", How i can to change it into google searching ?

when i type any word in address bar, it is search by "speedbit", How i can to change it into google searching ?

When you ''reset'' keyword.url, you blank the entry. Firefox doesn't know what to do with the keyword you've typed in, so it adds www. to the front, and tacks .com to the end and takes you www.test.com.
You need a new search engine entry. '''Try making keyword.url = http://www.google.com/#q='''
Every once in a while a rogue search engine wrecks my browser, and I end up scrambling for this very answer. I hope the devs will create an easier fix for future versions.

Change OVS text Advanced Search

Hello.
Someone knows how to change the text from label in OVS (Advanced Seach) to other language ?
We have a webdynpro project using the OVS (Obejct Value Selector) and we need to change the label Advanced Search in OVS to portuguese !
Best Regards.

Hi,
Please refer to the link for OVS related information:
/docs/DOC-8061#51 [original link is broken]
For changing the text to portugese, u can create a message in the messagePool (pg_textHeader) with the property "text" and enter the portugese text content.
In the UI bind the header to an attribute (say headerText) which takes the value dynamically.
In code, u can set the value of the attribute using the line:
IWDTextAccessor textAccessor = wdComponentAPI.getTextAccessor();
String headerOVS = textAccessor.getText("pg_headerText");
wdContext.currentContext.setHeaderText(headerOVS);

Changing where iPhotos are stored

I want to change where iPhotos are stored. My computer HD is getting full. How can I change to an external HD?

1 - make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
2 - drag your iPhoto Library package from the Pictures folder on your iMac to the EHD.
3 - when the copying is done launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the next window select the library on the EHD.
4 - once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all your photos you can delete the library from your Pictures folder.

Changing How iPhoto stores files

Hi,
Okay so while i plan on dumping my webmail accounts for a .mac account, im still curious about the answer to this question:
- Lets say i want to email photos through my university webmail. Lets assume im not using the (unsupported) httpmail extension for mac mail client either . When i get to "upload files" and start browsing my harddrive, the 'photos' directory is a complete mess! All the photos are stored by the date they were saved, instead of say, the album they are in. Which makes it very difficult to find the photos i want to send. Now, obviously one solution to this is - everytime i want to send something via webmail, goto iphoto, select the photos, and then export to some temp folder on the desktop, and then select that folder when uploading, and then delete the temp folder. But this seems like an unecessary extra step. So really im curious if its possible to change how iPhoto handles the storing of files on the HD (I think this is due to my ridiculous Windows behaviors coming out).

Marjorie,
The titles you give the photos stay within iPhoto. The file name of the image in the Finder stays the same. I don't know about how you have your window views set up, but for me, when I navigate to the iPhoto Library to find a photo after hitting the attach button, I get a preview of each image I highlight. It may be because I have my Finder window set to columns, and in the Finder view (View>show view options) I have "show image preview" checked.
