Creation and checkout errors, duplicate transactions using iPhoto print projects?

My fiance and I have been using iPhoto to create calendars to give away as gifts for a couple years. I have had multiple problems with the latest iPhoto. They occurred on two Macbooks on two different wireless networks (an old white MB from 2006 running Snow Leopard, and the other an MBP running Lion), both with the latest iPhoto. Apple Support told me I should have used Time Capsule to avoid the first two of these errors (which, I was told, are documented bugs in their software). I was bummed because I initially spent around over 8 hours building the print book project!
- Fonts changing when opening journal print book projects (fixed by completely restarting an 80 page book :-/ )
- Pages cannot be rearranged in print books - they actually swap rather than drag and drop (fixed by again, completely restarting the project!)
- When checking out, in calendars have an unspecified error and I have to cancel and fix individual photos (fixed by canceling
- Photos randomly become blank icons and I have to reupload the photos
- Photos that are dragged and dropped into a calendar don't show up in a random spot in the project and I have to go find them
- When ordering calendars for this holiday season, errors when uploading have resulted in 16 duplicate transactions on my debit card resulting in over $400 of pending transactions that have been unable to be resolved by Apple Support
Has anyone else experienced these problems? Any real fixes?

If you're using iPhoto 5 as you say then, yes, 24k photos is heading close to the Limit of 25k. iPhoto 6 is good for 250,000 images, iPhoto 11 is good for 1,000,000.
I'm going to guess that's a typo and that you have iPhoto 9.5.
I've simply never heard of "too many photos" causing the problem you describe. You don't need more memory. You don't need to break up the Library. "Flushing Memory" is a non-isssue. One of the big improvements in 10.9 is in memory management.
There are a couple of ways to break up a Library while preserving everything. It's dead easy with Aperture - export projects as Library - you can do it with iPhoto simply by duplicating the Library and deleting from the two libraries or use iPhoto Library Manager.
But, as I say, 24k is a small Library. My main library is more than twice the size of that.
Are Aperture and iPhoto using the same Library?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

HT204655 Any issues if I want to remove Photos and just go back to using iPhoto?

Not liking Photos at all. Any issues with deleting this app and just going back to using iPhoto?

If you have iPhoto 9.6.1 in your application folder, open it and use it.
I fear that support for iPhoto has ceased, but you can use it as long as you can.

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

Mavericks is the name of your operating system. It is otherwise known as OSX 10.9.
The previous versions were indeed "cat things".
The way you would know if you need to download new software from Epson is to go the Epson website and search for your printer there, look for downloads, and see if they have new software listed for 10.9.
You can revert your system back to what it was two weeks ago. This would be easier to do if you have a backup that you made prior to installing Mavericks (like with Time Machine). If you don't have a backup (sounds like you probably don't), you can look here for some directions about how to go back to the "Cat Thing" that you had prior to installing Mavericks: How to revert OS X back from Mavericks: Apple Support Communities
If all of this is too hard for you, you could take your Mac in to your Apple store and ask them to help you.

To Simulate PR creation and capture errors in SRM

Hello Experts,
We are on SRM 7.0 EHP 1, classic scenario.
SC is created in SRM, post which, PR and PO gets created in ECC.
Sometimes, though SC is ordered successfully, it goes into error due to various reasons. (Mostly PR creation at ECC fails due to some data error etc)
Is it possible that:
In SRM, once we order SC,
> it will simulate PR creation in backend, Instead of actually creating a PR
> capture error if any at the time of PR creation simulation
> and display the same to user in SRM? So that user knows what the error is and hence can modify data and order SC successfully at one go?
Will it be possible to do this custom enhancement? Any pointers?
Is it possible to trigger an email to appropriate requestor based on RZ20 status? (As RZ20 captures error, can we send the SC error reason to requestor? But again this will increase requestors work of re-ordering the SC)
Are there any other simpler/better options?
Thanks,
Dhananjay

Hello Ankit,
Thanks for your reply.
1. We do not have SC approval process in SRM. Once the SC is ordered its get auto-approved. So is there any BADI which I can utilize to simulate PR creation > capture error > and display it to Requestor?
2. In the case email notifications, will it be possible to send the exact error reason for SC error? Do we have any standard FM to do this? or it will be custom code query on standard tables?
Pls let me know.
Thanks,
Dhananjay

Unknown and unexpected error (5002) when using the basket

Hi all
I 've encountered the following error message when I try to buy music by the basket
" Unknown error (5002)" and I can't see my basket ! Does anybody know what I have to do in order to buy and download music!
Thanks !

Hi,
Sorry to hear your basket is the same as my basket and from what I read upon these sacred forums, many otheres are experiencing this trouble as well. If it's a user problem, it appeared just after one of the last two updates. Depricated? Unknown. User problem? Not likely. I wish I had an answer for you. Hopefully someone will have it soon. Mine has been down for 3 weeks now. I even tried uninstalling and trying a previous version. No such luck.

Application Manager issues and repeated error messages on use of more than two licenses

HI,
MY first post and my adobe Mnaager won't update as it keep saying:
"Adobe Genuine Software Validation Failure. The Product you are trying to install is not an adobe genuine software and appears counterfeit"
This is a load of rubbish as I have installed everything onto my Laptop and Desktop direct from Adobe. ITs been working fine after an horrifc installation experince when I first signed up when its was clearly launched too early.
I also keep getting flashes of warning saying that I have more than two instances installed which again is a load of rubbish as I only own two machines. Is there anyway of checking and making sure which PC's are signed up incase its been hacked?
Hoping theres some solutions other than going through Adobes Phone lines which never get answered and spent 4 hours trying last Friday to get through with no luck.
PLEASE do not suggest a re-installation and clean install as I have done this four times aleady since joining the cloud and is not acceptable as trying to run a buisness.

Question regarding the creation of a custom dynamic stamp using "Will Print" from "Set Doc. Actions

Hi all,
Using Acrobat 9.0 Professional, I have successfully created a dynamic stamp using the forums where I have added Login / Date to my own image and it works great as designed. However, the problem I am having is that when a document is stamped it becomes flat and doesn't update dynamically which does not work for my requirements.
I need to create a pdf that is stamped by myself so that other users (using only Reader) can open the pdf and when printed the stamp will print with the correct date/time (in the format I describe below).
I found a workaround (outside of a stamp) where I added a text box (called "Today") that updates everytime the document is printed by going to
Advanced / Document Processing / Set Document Actions / Document Will Print
and adding the following Java Code:
var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = util.printd('yyyymmddhMMss', new Date());
This provides me with the unique number that I need for printing (ie: 20100317102030). It works great as an inserted text field on my pdf.
My problem is that when I use the "create custom stamp" as in other tutorials by inserting this new text field, it will not update (or display) on print, even though it was set the exact same way as the custom stamp I got working using the Adobe dynamic stamp information.
Can you offer any advice on how I can get this to work as a custom stamp? I would rather not have to create both a stamp and then overlay the text field manually as I have hundreds of documents (maybe more) to do this for.
Also, as an aside, if I could get this to work, I would also like to add Login ID that updates in the same manner as my custom date format (but one problem at a time I guess! )
Thanks for any and all help that you can provide. I looked through these forums and elsewhere, but I don't seem to see anyone else with the same problems (with solutions posted).
I really wish Adobe had a Custom Stamp creator as part of their program, with the dynamic option. It would be so easy for them and save a lot of users so much time.

Stamps are just like a inked rubber stamp, except in Acrobat you can suppress printing them and you can move them. So if you use a dated "Faxed" stamp when you fax a document, even though you can adjust the stamp before affixing the stamp, once the document is stamped the date on the document can not be changed or moved. It appears, that the use of a stamp might not be the best solution.
"Interactive" means Acrobat JavaScript programing.
With JavaScript not only can you insert variable data but also fixed text strings or a combination of both.
So your script could be updated to something like:
var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = "Printed : " + util.printd('yyyymmddhMMss', new Date());
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1333261#1333261
Getting the 'login name" will require some special JavaScript code being added to an application level JavaScript folder that runs upon initialization and is the data or function created is then accessed by your PDF. This file will need to be installed on each user's system.

Why even use iphoto?

My first experience with iphoto, it corrupted all of my picture files. Luckily I had them all saved on an external harddrive, so I didn't lose them. But many people don't do that and the risk of them losing all of their picture files using iphoto is high. And yes, I tried all of the things listed to rebuild the file and none of them worked. I spoke with tech support and they confirmed that all of my files were corrupted and useless.
So with the fact that the program is unstable and that it uses a system of "Aliases" that makes it impossible to locate your files outside of iphoto, or make any changes to them outside of iphoto... why even use it? It seems to me like it's set up solely to force the user into using only mac products.
Since it destroyed all of my files, I just keep my photos in folders that I created that make sense to ME and I use the program that came with my digital camera to edit them. If I need to look at them, I can see them in the Preview application.
Is there some other reason I should be using iphoto?

I posted because I have a question: why use iphoto? I want to hear someone tell me exactly why they use it and what they love about the program so I can figure out how I can use it to its fullest potential. Please, someone help me understand.
I'll tell you my story, in case it helps answer this question. Keep in mind that iPhoto has many capabilities, and each person can use it in a different way. Here I describe how I use it, past and present.
Pre iPhoto: After my first child was born I got a digital camera and a hand-me-down Mac. I uploaded photos to the hard drive and moved them around in the Finder. I renamed my files to try to help me remember the subject of the photos, tried to organize folders. I got Photoshop Elements and began editing. Then I had to keep edited photos separate from the unedited photos, to somehow know which was which. Some I downsized and uploaded to a sharing website. I needed to know which photos had been shared, so I kept them in another set of folders. If I printed or used photos in a project, I needed them in folders.
This led to rather a mess of folders, all using space in my hard drive. Say I had a photo, knew it was edited, wanted the original... could I find it? I tried managing the photos by date, but ended up with the same photos in different locations. It was very difficult for me to search the different file structures (all set up by me) and find the best version of a particular photo - I organized and reorganized many times, fighting an uphill battle.
Skip ahead to my next hand-me-down Mac, which had iPhoto. I imported my folders of photos. Now I could see them quickly without opening in Preview. It was easy to determine which were duplicates and keep the best one. I got all my images in one easy place and used it only to view my photos. Not knowing any better, I looked in the iPhoto Library folder and found lots of nested numeric folders. Many were empty. It seemed messy, so I consolidated (OOPS) those nasty folders. When I returned to iPhoto, my photos had been replaced with blank placeholders. This brought me to the Apple Discussions, where I learned the golden rule of iPhoto (and any database application): don't change things through the Finder. I put those folders all back and restored the links to all of the photos. It took some time, but I learned a valuable lesson.
Next Mac, iPhoto 5. I had many more photos in my library, since I didn't have to worry about how to file them. I even found all my old picture CDs and imported them to my library. I organized my Film Rolls and preferred film roll view to any other because it gave me a clear picture of my photo inventory. Need that photo from the baby's 2nd birthday? Just scroll to the roll, since rolls are basically chronological. My library was still relatively small and easily manageable.
Then I began to use Albums, but only for special projects. How do I know which photos were cropped 4 x 6 and printed? Because I collected them in an album. Since albums use practically no disc space, this was a great solution. Want to see the best photos from a special birthday? Smart albums are great. I only had to rate the photos, then set up a smart album based on rating and date. Then I could see my best pics from important events. From that, decide which to edit, print, upload, etc.
I had learned how to use Photoshop Elements 3 and was a much improved photo editor. However, I still used the Elements browser to open photos for editing. I saved my edited versions to folders outside of my library and managed them myself. I began to have that old problem of how to locate the best photo...
Bring in the iLife '06 upgrade. Around the same time I upgraded to Elements 4. I thought Bridge was cool, but I couldn't easily browse my iPhoto Library to open a photo. It was very difficult to predict whether the photo I wanted was in Originals or Modified. I came back to the Discussions and read the advice here: +use iPhoto to open the photos for editing in Elements+. It seemed strange at first, but after adding a keyword to identify photos that I have edited in Elements (means I took more time with them) I adjusted to the new workflow. I could edit my photos, identify the edited versions, and know that my originals were still safe if I should need them. No more stragglers and extra duplicates.
After using the one keyword with success, it occurred to me how useful they can be. I went through my entire library and added keywords to the photos. Want to see all photos of my daughter? Just click her name in the keyword pane, and the library is instantly filtered. If I need both kids in the photo, I just click to add his keyword to the filter. Want to exclude myself? (I usually do) Just Option-click my keyword and photos with me are removed from the sort. Need to filter by a special event? Click the birthday or Christmas keyword. It's amazing how many combinations there are using keywords alone. These days I rarely set up Smart Albums, since I can click on keywords for fast, flexible groupings of photos.
I remember my photos by when they were taken. Mostly. But my library keeps growing, and my memory keeps shrinking (alas). So there's the calendar tool. It filters the library by year, month, week, or date. One choice not enough? Shift-click to select a range or command-click to select non-adjacent items. Here's a really cool one: Option-click in the calendar tool to see that time range for every year in the library. Great for finding annual events, even if they aren't keyworded. *It's just so easy to filter the library in different ways, and it doesn't affect the underlying organization of my library.* That's one of the more fun aspects of iPhoto for me - I feel like I have endless flexibility in how I view and group my photos, yet I always go back to my photo inventory in film roll view.
Although I set up iPhoto to open Elements when I double-click, I can still edit in iPhoto by clicking the full-screen edit mode icon in the lower toolbar. This is convenient for a quick crop to a particular aspect ratio. Sometimes Elements is unable to correct the red-eye in a photo, and iPhoto 6 does it better. Elements only has an auto-correct, and when it fails, it fails. In iPhoto 6 there's a trick that turns the cursor into a circle, which can then be placed over the pupil and sized, to precisely define the area for red-eye correction. iPhoto 7 did one better and made this tool easy to access.
Here's a real example of how iPhoto worked for me. Last week we had a death in the family - an aunt. It was sudden, unexpected, and caught us all off-guard. There wasn't much I could do to comfort the family. But I have pictures in my Mac. I quickly filtered my library to locate all my photos of our aunt. I created an album and moved the worthy pictures into it. From the album, I went through and edited in Photoshop Elements. (That part took the longest.) I cropped them all to print dimensions. I printed the best one at 5 x 7 and placed into a frame as a gift. I selected the entire album for printing, loaded the photo paper in my printer, and cranked out a set of 4 x 6 borderless prints that look as good as drug store prints. I placed the prints in a little album and took it to the memorial service. Her daughter had never seen those photos and was touched, so I gave her the album. After all, to recreate it for my kids I only have to select the iPhoto Album, load my printer, and crank out another set.
Another example: One Spring Break I took my kids on a trip to visit my grandparents. While there, we all went to a museum of log cabins and windmills. I took lots of pictures at the museum, figuring I'd make a scrapbook. When I got home I wanted to share my pictures with my grandparents, but didn't want to have to create 2 scrapbooks. So I made a book in iPhoto which told the story of our day at the museum. I ordered one for us and one for my grandparents. It could have taken me weeks to complete a paper album; I did the iPhoto book in a day or two. They were thrilled to receive it, and they still think I am some sort of computer genius. I keep telling them iPhoto made it easy, but they have a PC and just don't get it. That's okay - it's fun being a genius in their eyes.
I hope my rambling answers your question about why I use iPhoto. I also hope that it is not just an endorsement, but answers some of your +technical questions+ about how to use iPhoto. That is, after all, the purpose of this forum. If you have any questions about how I achieved anything that I described here, by all means ask.
Regards.
