Desktop doesn't retain pic selected in iphoto

Hey all, searched for this but didn't find anything.
When I select a pic in iphoto for my desktop image, it shows up for a second then reverts back to the previous image. Doesn't matter if I select the pic in iphoto or from the preferences pane, it only sticks for a second, then changes back.
iphoto 5.0.4

I tried the NVL and MAX ideas, and that did not work for me. I am using a custom business folder that is summing the transaction qty's from MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS and doing a full outer join with WIPFG_MFG_TRANSACTIONS. (I didn't create it) The columns are numeric. I am just using the built in TOTAL function within discoverer desktop. The sort window is showing sorting by the resource code, Inventory item and transaction date. Even when i remove the transaction date and resource code and just sort by inventory item, it still will not total. John, you mentioned Oracle Support having and advantage. Can you elaborate on that? How can i find out if I have Oracle Support for Discoverer?
I just modified the report and only pulled data from the custom business folder and tried totaling. It won't even total when using just that folder. I'm guessing at this point that the problem may be with the sql code for the folder.
Thanks
Jim

The latest version of Firefox loads with the Ask page and doesn't retain the selected home page. How do I change this?

I downloaded the latest Firefox version. Upon loading it it doesn't retain the previous Home Page setting and always reverts to the Ask page, which is always indicated as the Home Page. This is annoying. How do I overcome this problem?

JTable checkboxes doesn't retain their selection when a new row is added!!

HI,
My gui has the JTable component which has 5 columns. out of which 4 columns are checkboxes. whenever i select an item from the Jlist and click on the add button it will add a new row in JTable.
but the problem is whenever a new row is added to the table. the previously selected checkboxes of previous rows are being deselected. But i want to retain the selection of my previous rows even when a new row is added. please help me how to achieve this..i am posting my JTable code here:

previouslu i was using the setElement method. now i have replaced with the addRow method...
but anyways...the control is not going to any of these overridden methods...and none of the elements are added to the table. But i comment of all the addRow, getValueAt, getColumnClass methods...then it's adding rows to the table but with only the first column all the remaiing columns are just empty...
i am fed up with this...if you observe i have commented out somany lines...becoz i am trying to save my boolean array values into a vector..but that was also in vain...
i appreciate for ur help...
thanks

I attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded, now computer freezes after trying to load everything. possible to reverse this? options? restore hd from time machine? pls help!!!

long story short...i attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded to my desktop and now my computer freezes up after trying to load everything, and i'm not able to just drag the photos into the folder. is it possible to reverse this? what are my options? restore hd from time machine?
a further question to restoring my hd from a previous backup on time machine...it says it will erase the hd. does it actually erase everything or does it just erase anything that may have been added or downloaded since that backup? this is confusing to me.
another problem which is part of the original problem is it seems that when i connect my iphone to my computer and iphoto uploads my pics...it doesn't just upload new ones, it duplicates and uploads every picture again...which is why i have 45,000 pics...they are 40,000 duplicates! what's up with that?
I have a macbook pro, and recently updated the os to Yosemite. the iphoto app is out of date, but i'll worry about that once i can figure out how to get all those pics off the desktop. also, i recently purchased and installed 8g of new ram, but that hasn't seemed to help.
any advice would be appreciated!
thanks!!

thanks for replying.
the booting and walking away and then attempting to browse and clean method is what i've been trying to do. it won't let me drag and drop and just freezes up and goes to sleep after 2 minutes. it's a never ending battle with very few results. which is why i questioned the method of just restoring the hd from a time machine backup.
do you think restoring the hd from time machine will resolve the issue with all pics on the desktop? and everything will be as it was from the date i restore it from? sorry, as you can tell, i'm not overly computer savvy.
i have a really old desktop mac...i can try connecting the two...how does one boot a mac in 'target mode'?
as for the iphoto cleaning and organizing issue...that is what i was trying to accomplish with importing them to a folder. was going to browse and clean from there...but somehow imported to desktop which is what's complicating everything. once i get them off the desktop i can work on the iphoto issue...which as i mentioned...i didn't take 45,000 pics...i've just taken about 4,500 over the last few years, and they are being duplicated in iphoto. this was my attempt to clean it out entirely and start over. it will basically be a lot of deleting.
one problem, seems to lead me to more...which is just my luck. :-)
thanks again, for your help.

Iphoto doesn't recognize pics from ipod touch

iphoto doesn't recognize pics from ipod. It says they are an unrecognizable format.
Anything to do with the new software update?
btw
hate this new system.
I guess the engineers need work?

Have you been able to get the ISO on that camera before. Did you have the camera set to Auto?
All of my Canon cameras do not record the specific ISO even though a specific ISO is set. The only Canon file I have that gives an ISO in iPhoto is from a Canon EOS 30D. I have Konica files that provide ISO in iPhoto as does a Nikon D100. The Canon point and shot cameras, s10, s100, s110, s400, s410 and the SD700 IS do not record the specific ISO value. It just give Light Source-Auto when viewed in an application that can read all of the fields.
Do you Twango?

Imported pics from old iphoto now am having trouble finding them on my HD..

hi there,
so here is my situation. I previously was using iphoto (from '05) and had several thousand photos, but last month one day when i opened iPhoto 95% of the photos were gone from iPhoto (my computer kept shutting off, power supply problem), but I could still find all of my photos on my HD under my username/pictures.
in any case, i just got a new mac with iphoto '09 and my local tech friend managed to get all of my old photos onto my new computer by creating a new folder (yadda yadda yadda) and all of these photos now show up in the new iphoto, but i am having a few problems, so here goes...
1. I like to view most of my photos in the 'photos' area of iphoto (as opposed to events, faces and so on) but it seems like with the older photos many show up in both an 'originals' folder and in a dated folder. i'm guessing this has something to do with photos that were edited or something of the sort. ideally, i'd just like to see one of everything. is this possible? also, of the 10K+ things moved onto the new iphoto were a number of movies uploaded from my camera. all of these show up in 'originals' wereas in the dated folders the show up as jpeg stills. why is this?
2. my biggest/most annoying problem has to do with newly uploaded pictures. actually uploading them is fine (they all go into 'untitled events' folders as opposed to the 'originals' or dated folders like all the others) it's just that i'm having trouble accessing them on my HD once they're on iphoto. in short, i email a lot of photos using hotmail. when uploading i'll typically go to macintosh hd / jeremiahpOLD(everything from old computer) / pictures / iphoto libary 2 (created to put all old photos) and they're all right there by date. but all my new photos that i'm uploading, which i thought would show up in the same place separated by date, aren't showing up. if i search for them on my HD the location shows up as 'jeremiahpOLD / modified / 2010 / date. so, i guess my big question is, how do i get newly uploaded photos to show up in the 'pictures' folder as opposed to the 'modified' folder (where i can't access them unless searching for a particular on my HD or thru iphoto)?
sorry, for the rambling. i'm just trying to figure this all out at once...it's very different from my old iphoto!
thanks in advance,
Jeremiah

iPhoto changed the way we access photos with iPhoto 7 (08) when the library folder became a package. Using the methods Larry linked you to will provide you with access to your photos for use outside of iPhoto. Another version of Terence Devlin's treatise with screenshots is shown below. The following is from one of Terence Devlin’s posts on file access for use outside of iPhoto. It’s the definitive treatise on the subject.
Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Accessing the iPhoto Library Folder directly has never been supported in any version of iPhoto.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For Users of 10.5 and later
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
For users of 10.4 and later ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
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. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
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.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
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.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
All of the above are a: faster and b: Safer than rooting around in the old Library Folder.

Importing Folder of Photos from Desktop Some of Which are Already in iPhoto

I'm editing a slideshow for our school and I'm using some photos I took and some that others took. Some of the ones I took are already in iPhoto in various imports, but many are not, however I want to drag the whole folder, now on my desktop, into iPhoto and have it create a unique folder for these selections using both the photos in iPhoto and the new ones I'm importing with them.
In the past I've seen where photos dated earlier did not always end up at the end of the group, but will this entire folder, even the ones I already have in iPhoto end up in the "Last Import" or can I create a new iPhoto Album and then drag that desktop folder into it and have all those photos there, new and existing?
Thanks!

JoeL:
Make sure the checkbox indicated in the screenshot of iPhoto's Events preferences pane is configured like this. Then any folder of photos imported from the Finder into iPhoto will remain as one event.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

Doesn't retain any settings

My Safari 3 Beta (S3b) doesn't retain any settings... homepage, window size, bookmarks, tab settings (anything in the preferences for that matter) when I close and reopen S3b. I posted a bug report, but anyone have any ideas here?

WinXP SP2

fairly experimental advice, since i've only had the puppy installed on belladonna for a few ... hours, it would be still ...
... but let's check to see if this is an issue with damaged preference files.
Quit Safari.
in XP, the Safari preference files live in the following two locations:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari
You might have to turn on "Show hidden files and folders" to find the preference folders (Application Data and Local Settings are "hidden" folders). Right-click "My Computer", select "Open", go "Tools > Folder Options". Click the "View" tab. The "Show hidden files and folders" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.
("username" here is the name of the user account on the PC that you're getting this problem in. for example, on belladonna "username" = "owner".)
drag those two folders to the desktop, and then try launching Safari again. (that should rebuild your preference folders.)
do changes to your preferences "stick" now, with fresh preference folders in place?

Blank pics appearing on iphoto library

just wonder why some photos are coming completely black on my iphoto library after i rebuilt my library by pressing alt & apple when opening iphoto. Are these photo's completely lost or just not show for some reason

Terence said to select the *"Show File"* option in the contextual menu. That will take you to the actual file via the Finder.

Photo Downloader doesn't retain previous settings (again)

Please see previous post because this issue involves Photo Downloader and ACR.
I'm using 10.6.8, CS5.1 and Bridge 4.1.0.54
I have just reloaded Camera Raw 6.4.1 due to the bug in ACR 6.5 that prevents selecting a destination folder in Photo Downloader and causing Bridge to freeze.
6.4.1 solves the freeze problem, but now it's back to the problem that none of the settings in Advanced Dialog are retained, nor does Photo Downloader default to Advanced Dialog anymore. I've added the CS5 folder as before (User/Library/Application Support/Adobe) alongside the existing CS5.1 folder, but it hasn't solved the problem. Is there a new solution to this yet?
6.4.1 works fine on my MBP using the above workaround (CS5 folder added). Because I now have a dozen new student iMacs to set up, my three-part second question is: has ACR 6.6 been tested for these two bugs; should I wait before setting up the iMacs; how long before ACR 6.6 is officially released?

Thanks Omke. I¹ll try that next time I¹m in the lab. However, on my
MacBook Pro I checked the CS5.1 folder, and there is no ³APDPreferences.xml²
in that location (it is there in CS5 folder but I couldn¹t open it). On the
iMacs, I¹m only running CS5.1. Is there a different location for it in
CS5.1?
I¹m wondering if I¹m the only one running Mac OS 10.6.8, Bridge 4.1.0.54 and
ACR 6.5 who¹s having this problem?

It¹s baffling,
That is to put it mildly you mean, can't imagine that is the only word that
came to your mind... Have you tried to repair permissions for OSX
again? I don't have the 5.5 installed so can't compare but if one system
does work, another not and you have compared both files and folders
existence in the two systems it does seem to be OS related to me? There is
also a file called "APDPreferences.xml" (user/library/Application Support/
Adobe/Bridge CS5) Can you open the files on both systems and compare the
content, it contains the settings made in advanced dialog.

Retaining path selection state!

Hi,
I am writing tool which modifies path using GetPathSegments and SetPathSegments. Afterwards, path is always fully selected! I want path to retain state of selection (maybe some direction handles showing) like what happens when modified with white arrow.
Tried calling
sAIArt->SetArtUserAttr( targetPath, kArtSelected, 0 );
which deselects path OK. But even if I also afterwards use
sAIPath->SetPathSegmentSelected( targetPath, segNumber, SegmentInAndOutSelected );
path is always fully selected after tool mouseUp. Why???
Thank you,
Chunky

Illustrator's plug-in API undo mechanism doesn't remember the selection state for individual points on paths. So on undo/redo paths become fully selected. The white arrow tool is not implemented as a plug-in so it gets to control the details of undo/redo for itself. I don't think there's much, if anything, you can do to work around this.

Copying from Oracle SQL Developer to Microsoft Word doesn't retain formatting (Font,colors etc)

Copying from Oracle SQL Developer Worksheet doesn't retain formatting (font,color etc...)in Microsoft Word but copying from other programs such as
visual studio, chrome browser etc works fine. This doesn't work even after changed the setting to Keep Source formatting of Options-> Copy and Paste Settings

Hi,
I notice that you have cross posted in Answers forum and Oracle forum. Have you tried Mr. Peter's suggestion?
Then, I recommend we check the Word settings:
1. Go to: Options > Advanced > Cut, Copy and Paste
2. Make sure that Use smart cut and paste is ticked.
3. Click the Settings button next to this option
4. Make sure that Smart Style
Behavior is checked.
If the issue still exists, please upload a sample through One Drive, I want to test.

Clip doesn't retain its proper duration

Hi there,
I have a 1 min. 6 sec Quicktime movie that I'm trying to import into Final Cut Pro. My problem is that whenever I try to import it, it doesn't retain the proper duration. It shortens itself to 1 min. and 3 or so seconds.
I've tried restarting FCP and the problem remained. I double-checked the Quicktime movie, and its duration is still 1 min. and 6 sec. I tried deleting the movie's reference in the Browser and re-imported it, but it still only has a 1 min. and 3 or so second duration. I need the rest of that clip.
What's even weirder is that when I make a freeze frame of some part of that clip (after it's been imported into the timeline), for some odd reason, the freeze frame references a later part of the clip (not where I chose to mkae a freeze frame).
I don't know if this will help, but the movie is a credits sequence done in After Effects that I exported to a Quicktime movie using DV/DVCPRO NTSC settings at a very high quality.
I appreciate all help.
Thanks,
Adam

"Very high quality" is not helpful. You should have used Animation codec at the same frame rate. Your freeze frame would be easier to build if you did it in AE but, since you're out of time, your credits would be faster to create in FCP using one of the Boris titlers.

Google Analytics OPT-OUT Browser Add-on 0.9.6 doesn't retain OPT-OUT settings...never did really. Also JAVA now refuses to create updates for WinXP/FireFox.

I use PaleMoon now trying to get rid of advertising sharks. I have WINXP still - need assistive-technology computer for pain so taking time on getting new computer.
I have been severely sabotaged by advertising conglomerates selling my private information. They have no right -yet they do whatever they want. Anyhow...I've tried to OPT-OUT of EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. I've tried 5 places found. Google, NAI, DAA, & FIREFOX HELP said go to about:config was instructed to turn "from false to true" the "privacy.tracking.protection.enabled" .But I couldn't keep this setting because this also has to be set to false to use any saved log-on's to my accounts., and add-on AD BLOCK PLUS 2.6.7 when I was on Firefox & had some ticks and now it is disabled because it won't work with PaleMoon 25.2.1
This case is about GOOGLE OPT-OUT. Starting here: http://www.google.com/settings/ads?hl=en&sig=ACi0TCgWymel0CNWxdcnEWPzWNs9wDd7cVQHxHsmtz4w30CAyHk7MqyzzZdGh3m6FpDaJsKmunTLEvJZY5LAm3h6gIdzE30L-Q
There are 2 columns. The left one "ADS ON GOOGLE" NEVER RETAINS AFTER LOG-OFF. The right column "Google ads across the web
" seems to retain sometimes - if I remember right it falls off after a period of time as opposed to after just LOGGING-OFF. Below the columns there are options, but I don't have a GOOGLE ACCOUNT.
Also down there is this link: https://support.google.com/adsense/troubleshooter/1631343?hl=en ...you see the box with this: Advertising industry program participation
Google is a participating member of groups that have developed industry privacy standards like the Ad-Choices icon for online advertising.

....I clicked OPTED OUT FOR NAI on their link http://www.networkadvertising.org/
...I clicked OPTED OUT FOR DAA on their link http://www.aboutads.info/
...I clicked PROTECT MY CHOICES and downloaded the app.
These 1st 2 links used to have the same trouble and didn't retain ANYTHING and wouldn't re OPT-OUT ANY UNTIL THEY WERE SATIATED - saying I didn't have 3rd party cookies allowed when I did - this took hours.
I sent numerous trouble reports to them that they ignored - then I think I sent one to Firefox and it is much better but still not completely right. Today DAA retains 106 out of 122 and if I repeatedly RE-OPT-OUT successively I can get it to 121 out of 122 - never completely. (currently the one not taking is Accuen Inc. but it changes periodically - makes me think they set one up to take my info and then share it with all of them - lol )
Same for NAI currently I started with 94 out of 96 - next re-OPTED-OUT got it to 95 out of 96 and no further and same co. Accuen Inc (accuenmedia.com ) wouldn't update.
NOTE: I was copy/pasting the list of NON-OPT-OUT'S to them and my own document file to try and find trends/problems...now NAI programmers protected the list from being able to be COPIED AND PASTED!!! That's the opposite of being open and interested in making this work, right? Why would they want to allow us to OPT-OUT of their criminal espionage behavior...RIGHT? (lol) FYI: I recorded that the big one that was always retained before this one was...MEDIA MATH INC.
MANY Opt-outs would drop off while on-line and ALL would drop-off once logged-off. Now it's retaining most once logged off - but it hasn't been long enough to tell if they'll fall back into their bad habits as they've done before...
This has been going on forever for me - I've been reporting this malfunction since 2013.
Of course I downloaded PROTECT MY CHOICES FOR FIREFOX via NAI AND DAA'S links ...http://www.aboutads.info/PMC#protect-your-choices-for-firefox ............they both go to the same place???.....PROTECT MY CHOICES http://www.aboutads.info/plugin/install/firefox....that seems odd...it's as if they are the same entity then. ABOUTADS is DAA'S WEBSITE. NAI'S IS NETWORKADVERTISING.ORG so why would NAI use DAA'S PROTECT MY CHOICES app?
Lastely, I also requested that the COOKIES NAMES BE UNIFORMLY IDENTIFIABLE. All the OPT-OUT COOKIES that are to be forevermore retained on my computer and that I am to trust the EVERY FUNCTION OF - well they all have different COOKIE NAMES!! Most of the names you can not tell that they are OPT-OUT COOKIES!! - SO NOWWW They have created another problem.
We can no longer just "DELETE ALL COOKIES".
PLUS, we can no longer go through our cookies and delete individual ones that snuck through.
Every one of the OPT-OUT COOKIES SHOULD SAY "OPT-OUT" IWITHIN THEIR NAME OF THEIR COOKIE - PERIOD. RIGHT? (LOL) For real. Why was this mess was allowed?
REALLY IN MY OPINION THESE COMPANIES SHOULD BE BLOCKED AT THE LOCAL PHONE COMPANIES LEVEL - IN OUR SERVERS. We should not have to deal with them. Same thing with viruses, malware and such beasts. But I digress.
In summary:
1.)Google Analytics OPT-OUT Browser Add-on 0.9.6 doesn't retain OPT-OUT settings
2.) JAVA refuses to create updates for WinXP/FireFox/PaleMoon.
3.) DAA & NAI still don't retain ALL OPT-OUT settings and never completely OPT-OUT all companies.
4.) OPT-OUT cookies should be uniformly names with the words OPT-OUT in their titles.
5.) Ad Block Plus 25.6.7 doesn't work for Pale Moon and there is no alternative - (didn't work great in FireFox)
Right now I'm mainly interested in #1)retaining my GOOGLE OPT-OUTS while on line AND while logged off since it is attacking my computer and steeling all the speed until it freezes my keyboard.
Currently I am trying to remember to run through 3. OPT-OUTS every time I log on.
Thanks so much!

Breadcrumb doesn't retain the previous page values

I have the following hierarchy in my pages. home > search > summary > details.
The user goes to the search page gives a criteria and the summary page shows all the required matching results. Now the summary results is a table of name, id, date etc. The id field is a hyper link which when clicked takes to the details page.
My problem is that when I am on the details page and I click on the "summary" breadcrumb it works fine and navigates to the summary page but doesn't show the results that it previously showed. So the breadcrumb forgets the values.
Also I have another problem: Say a user enters a search criteria and there are no results found and the user is now in the summary page. Then if the user clicks on the search breadcrumb the search page opens. It works fine till here. But this is what is required. In the text fields the value with which the search was performed should be present.
Can anyone help please ?
Thanks in advance.

Any one with any ideas as to how to go about implementing this ?
Bread Crumbs is working fine but it doesn't retain the values !!!!!!!
Thanks in advance.
