Clearing the photo in "my card?"
I was using the "invite" feature for the first time today, and iCal said I needed to create a "card" for myself. So I chose a contact with my info in it and made it "my card."
Except I was surprised to see an old little photo stuck in the card. I couldn't choose "clear custom image" because it's grayed out. And choosing "set custom image" doesn't do anything.
Any idea how I can clear that image out?
Thanks,
doug
I have posted this question to the Address Book discussion instead. I would delete this thread if I could but don't see a way to do that. Sorry for the double-posting.

When clearing a form, is there a way to also clear the photos?
I have an existing form created using Adobe Pro's form creation. This contains a label tool for adding photos. When I clear the form, the photos remain. Is there a way to clear out the photos of a form after one has already been linked?
Thanks,OK I understand what you are saying, but I am not as Java Savy as I would like to be.
I have created the hidden blank icon. Based on another users similar question, I used the following script that you provided for him for the buttonGetIcon Field Method.
var oIconClear = getField("buttonClear").buttonGetIcon({nFace: 0});
getField("Picture 1a").buttonSetIcon({oIcon: oIconClear, nFace: 0});
I believe I still need the buttonSetIcon field method because this script alone did not seem to work.
Perhaps I am doing everything completely wrong -
Aperture 2 sees the M8.2 camera but not the photos on teh card
New to Aperture 2 and using the trial for two days.
Importing photos from disk works OK.
When I plug in my Leica M8.2 (supported by Aperture 2) the camera shows up in the top left corner but the main area in the Aperture 2 display is blank - no photos are shown - so I am unable to import.
The pictures are on the card and are in DNG format.
Am I doing something really stupid?
David.Importing direct from camera is bad form anyway. First copy from card to a computer hard drive, then import from the computer hard drive into Aperture after backup.
By default Aperture uses a Managed-Masters Library which sooner or later usually leads to overfilling the Library drive. I recommend a Referenced-Masters Library, which you can do by using this workflow as described below in an earlier post of mine:
I feel pretty strongly that card-to-Aperture or camera-to-Aperture handling of original images puts originals at unnecessary risk. I suggest this workflow, first using the Finder (not Aperture) to copy images from CF card to computer hard drive:
• Remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into a memory card reader. Faster readers and faster cards are preferable.
• Finder-copy images from memory card to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
• Eject memory card.
• Burn backup hard drive or DVD copies of the original images (optional strongly recommended recommended backup step).
• Eject backup hard drive(s) or DVDs.
• From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location." This is called "referenced images." During import is the best time to also add keywords, but that is another discussion.
• Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing in Aperture).
• Reformat memory card in camera, and archive originals off site on hard drives and/or on DVDs.
Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media/backups.
Also note with a Referenced-Masters Library that use of the "Vault" backup routine backs up the Library only, not the Masters. Masters should be separately backed up, IMO a good thing from a workflow and data security standpoint.

HT1535 how do i clear the photos off my iphone?
I have over 1400 photos backed up on my computer and iCloud and I want to clear some off my phone... is there a way to select photos and delet them on my phone through syncing?
What pics?
Pics taken with iphone are imported as with any digital camera : Open iphoto, connect iphone, import photos.
Pics synced from your computer to your iphone are synced one way only - computer to iphone.
As these pics came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there. Simply copy them to your new computer along with all of your other files/docs/pics/music/contacts/etc -
Where is the photo for a card stored?
Good Evening:
Does anyone know where the pictures used for contacts in Address Book are stored? Once a picture is added to a contact, is that image added to a file somewhere or is it referenced from another location?
I am trying to find an original that I have misplaced and I was hoping I could nab a copy from the address book filing system.
If not, is there any chance that once found, any part of the original name might be embedded in the file so I could search for that?
Not a serious problem but finding that foolsih picture is driving me crazy.
Thanks for your thoughts.Andrew,
The images are located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Images Folder.
When double clicked, the alphanumeric named files open for me with Quicktime Player.

Where are the photos in the organizer located?
When I put photos in the organizer, does the organizer make copies of the originals? Where are they located on the hard drive?

You don't put any photo in the organizer : the location on the drive of the media files and their properties are written in the catalog database together with a small thumbnail. The photos stay where you have put them.
If you are 'getting photos or videos' from camera or card reader, you are using an accessory module (the downloader) to upload from your camera card to your computer before the photos are registered in the organizer catalog. You can check the location where the files are written in your computer in the Edit / preference menu of the organizer. You can specify where you want the photos to be stored on your computer.
After the photos are downloaded from your card, the organizer automatically reads the location and properties of those files and writes that info in the database.
If you are 'getting photos from files or folders', there is no copy, the updating of the database is made from the already present files on your computer.
It's up to you to chose if you want to use the downloader or simply use other ways to get the photos from your card to your computer. -
Lightroom will not import my photos. It did up to a week ago. I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago). I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto. I get the following error message:
Some import operations were not performed.
The following files were not imported because they could not be read [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
Thumbnails show up. LR just will not import them.
Any idea what is going wrong?If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name -
How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded
I've about had it up to here with this new Photos scheme. I reorganised my Aperture libraries on both my iMac and MBA in preparation for this, delayed turning Photos on for a couple of days until I thought everything was ready based upon the limited advice that was out there, and then got stuck in an endless loop of "uploading" and "preparing" every time I opened Photos. There are 19,975 images in my Aperture library on the iMac. I was stuck at Uploading at anywhere between that number and 19,000 with no progress after hours of waiting. I tried all the tricks mentioned here including re booting, restarting the app, repairing/rebuilding the database, killing the "cloudd" process, etc.today Today when I restarted Photos, it now said I had 23,775 images to upload- 4000
more than I have-and of course it got stuck there, like it has for the last week.
I copied the previous Aperture library (pre Photos migration)back to my iMac and opened it in Aperture. Thankfully, all the photos I had taken on my iPhone this week during this Photos clusterphuck transition were in the Aperture Stream so I didn't lose any of those. I'm willing to give this whole thing one more shot. So i need some advice. How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded (about 6000 of 19,000 images in the last 7 days) ? If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?

It is hard to say from your post, why the migration did not succeed in your case.
by "stuck on upload" do you mean, you opened the Aperture library in Photos, and Photos converted it to a Photo Library, and then the upload to iCloud Photo Library did hang? Or did already the upgrade to the Photo Library fail?
If you want the Aperture library to upload to iCloud Photo Library, it needs to be on a disk formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and the original image files must not be referenced. Referenced originals will not upload.
Also, the upload may hang, if you do not have enough free iCloud storage, orr if one of the videos or photos in your library is in an unsupported format or corrupted.
To start over, try to repair and rebuild the Aperture library before opening it in Photos. Try all Aperture Library First Aid options - starting with repairing the permissions. (Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual)
If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?
You will have to delete the photos that are already in icloud too; otherwise you are risking duplicates.
Can you launch Photos at all? If yes, delete all photos in Photos and empty the Recently Deleted album. Wait for the deletion to sync to iCloud. Then delete the Photos.photolibrary. -
I would like to transfer photos from a PC to an iPad Air 2. I would like to avoid iTunes if possible. I have been told that if I put my photos on an SD card i can use a "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader" to read the photos on my iPad and then copy them to the iPad. When I try this the iPad 2 brings up my photo app but does not show any of the photos on the SD card. Am I doing something wrong or is this not a working solution to the transfer of photos?
You have to trick the iPad into thinking those photos are off a camera
Make a folder named DCIM on the SD card.
Put your photos into that folder.
All photos must have a file name of 8 characters....DSC_2345.jpg for example
You're basically mimicking the file structure a digital camera uses. -
I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos? I don't know why the photos are still taking up space and if I will have to reset my phone to get rid of the problem.
Hey there TowneJ,

I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos. Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices at the same time as the usb ports are side by side. How do I import my photos from the media card to the external hard drive now?
First transfer the photos to a folder on your MacBook using Image Capture in your Utilities folder. Then move them to iPhoto.
BTW, you might want to invest in a cheap USB hub. -
I just bought a MacBook Pro, and need to d/l my photos from my memory card reader. iphoto keeps coming up as the app to use, but the column on the left says "No name, and shows 0 photos on the black screen. How do I view the photos on the reader?
Did it... When I clicked on "No name", a file folder came up and, I forgot to put MacBook Pro in the name bar... That was it! Maybe someone else can use this post Hopefully...

How to transfer photos via Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader to iPad.
You need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them

How do I export photos back onto a camera SD card? I have created desktop files for the photos and the card, dragged photos to the card, but when I replace card in camera, it says "No valid photo to display". I just need to get some prints made and have been struggling with this for hours. Thank you.
No one can help you any more than has been done
Your camera is not a general purpuose photo display system - it is designed to take photos, let you look at those photos and allow you to download them to your computer or other places - if you wnat to use it view photos then you have to put the photos in exactly the correct place with exactly the correct names or it will not see them
And this has absolutely nothing to do with iPhoto in any way - iPhoto sotres and proecesses yoru photos and allows you to export them - once you export them it is totally out of the picture - you can easily get photo prints by using the iPhoto print service, using an internet print service, burning photos to a DVD and taking them to a print service or putting them on a SD card and taking them to a print service - to view them on your camera you have to exactly reporduce what the camera is looking for - not at all sure what the pirnt even is
