DO NOT USE IPHOTO FOR ANY IMPORTANT OR PROFESSIONAL WORK

I am a freelance photographer in NYC and was using iphoto to organize and view my photos. After my last import, Iphoto not only created new folders for my work but also went in and replace 2 of my existing folders of work. I tried everything from backing up and the rebuilding the library to search with spotlight for my pictures. the thumbnails are still in the cache but all of the orginals are gone and i have many unhappy clients. So i am left to using my unfriendly camera import software, but at least i would lose my information.

  • Do not use Java for any ITS/portal/webgui operations

    Ladies and getlemen,
    I wonder if anybody have eved tried to use ITS/portal/webgui - for some ABAP ALV reports + some custom WD apps - and didn´t want to use any Java (security reasons or too many users, so a problem of logistics etc.) . I don´t know if that is possible and if yes, how.
    My colleagues have suggested a little crazy solution - they´re going to repair the class cl__guifrontendservices (or something like that) - they´re going to add a form so the ITS brach will open a custom WD screenfor file upload/ download instead of starting a Java to do that.
    Has anybody any experience which could help here or any feelings if the suggested "solution"/workaround can work?
    Thank you, regards Otto

  • Using iPhoto for a specific PP task - will it cause any issues?

    Since I've started shooting in RAW, I haven't really used iPhoto that much.
    My current process is to import using Bridge, open images in Adobe Camera Raw to edit and crop, and then open in PS Elements 6 to do final editing.
    However I don't like the crop feature in ACR... And I'm thinking of using iPhoto for cropping.
    Here is how I envision the process -
    1. Import via bridge
    2. Open and edit in ACR but do not crop
    3. Open and edit in PSE6 and save as PSD
    4. Run batch process in PSE6 to convert PSDs to JPGs
    5. Import JPGs into iPhoto and crop
    6. Export JPGs as current settings.
    The only issue that I think I will have is that iPhoto will convert the images to 72dpi and so I will need to add one more batch step to convert from 72dpi to 240 or 300 dpi.
    Are there any issues with this process change?
    Will the extra steps degrade the JPGs in any way?
    Thanks!

    1. Import via bridge
    2. Open and edit in ACR but do not crop
    3. Open and edit in PSE6 and save as PSD
    4. Run batch process in PSE6 to convert PSDs to JPGs
    I’m not sure you’ll need this step as iPhoto will work with almost all PSDs. A little trial and error will confirm.
    5. Import JPGs into iPhoto and crop
    6. Export JPGs as current settings.
    Assuming you imported as PSD then you can export as ‘Kind: JPEG’ and specify the exported dimensions, thereby avoiding your final batch conversion to 300 dpi. (Although this conversion is pretty pointless until you actually go to print a file.)
    A general comment:
    It’s a lot of effort to get a crop. Can’t you crop in Elements? Or - if not in Elements - there are lots of little editors out there with no database element that will crop. Even Preview will do this.

  • HT1096 I have a analog to DV converter that I have had for years, but I have not used it for awhile am using a newer MAC. How do I get it to import from my converter. It is only showing the built in camera.

    I have a analog to DV converter that I have had for years, but I have not used it for awhile, and I am using a newer MAC. How do I get it to import from my converter. When I go to import in iMovie it is only showing the built in camera. Help...

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I went on iTUnes after not using it for awhile and all my playlists are gone. How can I find them?

    Hi Apple community ---
    I went on iTunes after not using it for awhile and my old playlists are all gone.  My library seems intact, but I don't have a record of  my playlists, except for what's in my iPod.  I'm afraid to sync them to get the playlists back into my computer, becuase the last time I synced my iphone it erased all my contacts from both my iphone and my computer, and I don't want the sync operation to remove the playlists from the iPod as well. 
    I don't have any music on my iPhone, so the two devices in question are just the iTunes program on the computer (it's a Dell with Windows Vista) and my 160 GB iPod classic. 
    Thanks for your help!!!

  • Why not use Jsp for  control in MVC2 ?

    hi
    i am rajendra , i am preparing interview FAQ, so please give me my Que. Ans.
    1) we are using servlet for control in MVC2 Module,then why we can not use
    Jsp for control in mvc2
    2) if we used jsp for control in mvc2 then what is disadvantage compare to if using servlet for control in mvc2
    Please give me ans. as soon as..
    Thanks.

    Are you preparing a FAQ for others or are you just cramming before an upcoming interview and someone gave you a set of questions? It looks more like the latter to me.
    If you haven't actually written any MVC based code, you won't be able to snow the interviewer. It's better to just relax, get a good night's sleep and impress them with your willingness to learn, your fit with the team and whatever real accomplishments you have to show.
    If you really want an answer to this I suggest that you try writing an MVC2 system using JSP for the controller, which is possible, and then try doing the same in a servlet, or better yet using a framework like Spring MVC or Struts to provide the servlet for you and let you concentrate on your application.

  • Why not use interfaces for constants?

    Hi,
    I have been getting conflicting views about why not use interfaces for constants?
    Can anyone shed some light on it?
    Piyush

    How so?
    If the constants are only used in a single classhow
    does it help to put them in a separate structute?
    (Ignoring the a type safe enumeration of course.)Well, mainly for readability. Suppose that you have a
    web application which has a servlet class
    "RedirectServlet", which takes a variable to redirect
    to a given JSP file. In the JSP files, you want to
    create forms which take this servlet as their action.
    You could of course put all these "redirect"
    constants in the RedirectServlet itself, but then
    it's kind of weird that you have to import a
    servlet in your jsp file to include these constants
    and to be able to write
    <form action="servlet/RedirectServlet?key=<%=
    RedirectServlet.HOMEPAGE %>> or so.
    Instead, you could create an interface called
    "RedirectConstants", and then your servlet
    RedirectServlet could implement this interface. Then
    your JSP can also access these constants via this
    interface.
    But then again, this is merely a matter of style, I
    fully agree that there is never a real _need_ to put
    constants in a separate structure if they're only used
    in a single class.Are you claiming that your example above is a single class?

  • Using iPhoto for organizing digi scrapbook supplies

    I have successfully figured out how to use iPhoto for the above except in one instance. Many digi kits have some elements to use in creating the scrapbook page in Photoshop Elements 6 in png format. It appears in the kit as black on white background so you can see it. But in iPhoto it is just one black box. It doesn't matter if I select the background as black or white. Any ideas how I can put these in and be able to see what they are. Hard to pick something if you don't know what it is.

    Janet:
    Those files either are grayscale mode images or have an alpha channel both of which iPhoto doesn't support. Export those file out of iPhoto, and use an image editor to convert them to the RGB color mode or remove the alpha channel. It's more likely they are greyscale.
    Maybe an easier way to convert from grayscale to RGB would be to use my Automator workflow Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile.app to covert them. Just drag the problem files onto the application and they will be converted. You can download it from  Toad's Cellar, 2nd from top.

  • Can´t update pre installed iPhoto version 9.1.5 to 9.2 because in App Store is said i have to login with the ID I bought iPhoto! I did not buy iPhoto with any ID because it was already preinstalled!

    Did you try re-installing OS x Lion? That was the solution for me. Just make a back up with time machine and then restart your mac and during restart press ALT. Then you'll acces the support screen and there you can reinstall OS X lion on your macintosh HD.
    This was the solution the people from Apple support gave me and afterwards I could download the update perfectly.

  • We are not getting email for any of the two new profiles in Production environment

    We are not getting email for any of the two new profiles.
    The new rules for sending e-mail work when using the initial profile.
    Only works for F9 and choose manually the profile is being sent.
    But siebel writes the log of both the \ BIN \ sent as if it had sent.
    operation:
    Standards (Policies) were created in the Activities (S_EVT_ACT) and Contacts table (S_CONTACT). When Standards (Policies) are reached trigger actions (Actions). These actions are linked to sending emails.

    The SMTP Adapter don't just "through away" messages. If your Tracked Service Instances shows that a message was sent through the Port, I am pretty sure that a mail was indeed sent. 
    -Are you using Static- or Dynamic Port?
    Can you try to set the Send Port in "Stopped" state, and then send a message to it. Examine the message suspended in BizTalk, and if everything looks ok, then start the Port again and check that the message has disappeared from both suspended and running
    instances in the Group Hub.
    If so, quickly check the mail box, make sure that no spam-filters etc. are messing up your test.

  • I do not have an apple computer,  I have had Itunes  Previously but had not used it for some time.  when I try to use it now the following message keeps coming up no matter how many times  install Itunes.  "The Itunes library is locked on a locked disc ?

    I do not have an Apple computer,  I have had Itunes previously but had not used it for some time,  I have Itunes gift cards but can not get ,on to use them.  I have tried to download Itunes again but the following keeps poping up, "The Itunes library is locked on a locked disc, oryou do not have write permission for this file."  How can I overcome this?

    To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file.  Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty.  Note that I am running Windows 8.  Hope this helps!

    I have an apple id but ı can not use it for sign in to itunes connect account while publishing my ibook document. Why ı can not login? What can ı do to figure out this problem?

    As note already on the iBA forum [ AppleID for ibooks publishing ], you need two IDs. You can't use your developer ID.
    If you already signed up for books with that ID, you need to talk to Apple to straighten things out.
