Easy way to remove a keyword from select images

Is there an easy way to remove a keyword?
I want to remove a single keyword from nearly 100 images that have multiple keywords. The single keyword I want to remove exists in other images that I don't want it removed from.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Create a keyword button set and then either use the menu option to remove that keyword or the shortcut key.

Is it possible to remove a keyword from multiple images?

There has to be some way to delete a keyword from multiple images, yet I can't figure it out. I know you can replace keywords via lift and stamp, but sometimes I may need to remove a keyword while leaving other different keywords in other images. If this cannot currently be done it needs to be fixed.

1. select the images you want to remove a keyword from
2. in the keyword field at the bottom type in the keyword you want to remove
3. hold down shift, and hit enter
Instead of assigning the keyword to the selected images, the keyword will be removed.

Can't add or remove a keyword from MULTIPLE images

Hi:
I've tried the trick of using SHIFT-RETURN (instead of RETURN) to REMOVE a keyword instead of adding it, after you type in the keyword in the Add Keyword box of the Keyword Controls window.
However that only removes the keyword from the current active image:
even if I have multiple images selected, only the current "active" image gets updated.
(Using aperture 2.1.1 on mac os x 10.5.4.)
Any pointers on what the problem might be?
(UPDATE: same problem exists in reverse: trying to ADD keyword to multiple images using one of the keyword buttons, but only currently active image is updated, the other images in my selection are NOT updated with the new keyword.)
Regards, Strathglass

Now that I discovered the problem also exists trying to ADD keywords, I was able to search for and find the answer in these fora:
The solution:
just had to select "Edit->Primary Only" so that the check mark went away from "Primary Only"!

Is there an easy way to remove audio track from .mp4

Guys
Wondered if anybody knows of a way to take a .mp4 file with a silent audio track exported and remove that audio track altogether without having to reconvert the video in AME- just deleting the (silent) audio track
Have lots of files that need this and was looking for a way to do this without going back and reexporting all the clips the hard way
Any thoughts much appreciated-- (I have access to both Windows 7 and WIndows XP pro 64 bit)
Thanks
Tony

Thanks Jim
I figured that would work but for some reason the resulting files did not play correctly--Alternatively I used Mpegstreamclip -opened the video I wanted to erase audio track from--- clicked on "edit--delete audio track" then clicked "save as" and this finally accomplished what I was trying to do--Now have a copy of the .mp4 file wo audio
Thanks for all your help--Hope this thread helps someone in the future
Peace
Tony

How to remove a crop from selected images

I need to create different crops on same image from one project, from project, to album, and smart folder i have one lot of crops and now i want to make other crops but the images in the project and blue folders have all the new crops too, how do i get back to a folder with no crops, I'd like to keep the retouches to these images though, i think i should have started differenttl?
Help appreciated
Thanks

Not clear on what you have, but to remove the crop on any given image; you can either clear the check mark in the crop brick or remove the crop adjustment altogether. The crop brick shows in the Adjustment Inspector when you crop an image:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=17%26section=10
For more info on the crop tool:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=18%26section=6%26 hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292MAD-1013949
Note - typically, you would create a new version for additional cropped versions of the image. You can use the 'New Version from Master' command (control-click or right-click on image for the menu). This will create a new version to work on that is un-cropped whether the current version is cropped or not, but will not include any other adjustments either.

Removing keywords from multiple images when the keyword isn't in the list?

So, I know that the method for removing a keyword from multiple images is to select the images, type the keyword in the inspector and press Shift-Return.
However, that doesn't seem to work if the keyword I want to remove is not in the keyword database (i.e. it's not in the keyword HUD).
For example, I deleted the iPhoto keyword group from the keyword HUD because I decided I didn't like that. I've got a bunch of photos that still have keywords like "Beach (iPhoto)". Typing "Beach" Shift-Return does nothing. Typing "Beach (iPhoto)" Shift-Return does nothing.
Adding an iPhoto group back to the HUD and a child keyword of Beach and then Typing "Beach" Shift-Return works, but I can't believe that's how it's supposed to work.
Is that the only way to do this? I've got a lot of those old iPhoto keywords to remove and that's going to be a major pain... there must be a better way.

I don't know if this will help you or not but it contains the roots of what you would need to script the removal of unwanted and unlisted keywords.
-- script begins
tell application "Aperture"
  -- set the target to the "Smart beetles" album at the top level of the library.
  tell album "Smart beetles" of folder ""
    -- get a list of the images in the album.
    set x to every image version
    -- move through the images one by one, deleting and creating the appropriate keywords
    repeat with i from 1 to x's length
      tell x's item i
        -- Note. if the keyword is top level, then the parents value is "".
        delete (every keyword whose name is "Australia" and parents is "Location")
        make new keyword with properties {name:"Sydney", parents:"Location"}
      end tell
    end repeat
  end tell
end tell
-- script ends

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)
Let me explain:
In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
(I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
Hope it will be helpful

Is there an easy way to remove photos from iPhoto in the organizer?

I had been using iPhoto, but quit when I started using Photoshop Elements. With version 9, it imported not only photos in my pictures but those in iPhoto. So I have hundreds of duplicates I need to remove from the organizer. Is there an easy way to find the ones from iPhoto so I can remove them?

OK, but is there a way to search/filter on a string in the location (i.e. iPhoto) so I could then easily know which are the duplicates I want to delete?
If there isn't, then it seems that I will have to delete the catalog and start from scratch again. I had originally thought I didn't include iPhoto in the folders to search, but apparently it was somehow included so I will have to be more granular in what folders to search if I recreate the catalog again.

Easy Way to remove Fans from Twin Frozr III ?

Hi Forum,
i have a N680GTX Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC and want to clean the cooler from dust. Is there an easy way to remove the fans but not the cooler itself from the GPU ? Are the screws enough, which i see between the fan to take it off ?
rgds Thomas

I can't really answer to be honest, but I would just remove them and see if the fans come off.
The only way to find out is to try and take it apart. It'll probably be quicker and easier for you to just try it (and be very careful while doing it) than wait for someone to answer here.

How to remove a keyword from a group of photos

I want to remove a keyword from a group of photos. They all have the same keyword attached, of course. When I right-click keyword and choose 'Remove keyword from selected photos' it removes the keyword from the most-selected photo ONLY, not from all photos that are selected. I have to remove the keyword from each photo one at a time.
I'm running LR 5.6 on a Mac.
Thanks for any assistance.

Is there an easy way to remove duplicates in my library?

Hi there, since I first started using my ipod, I've had a new laptop. Having finally figured out (with your help!) how to move the songs from my ipod to the library on my new laptop, I did the transfer but it's duplicated loads of the tracks.
Is there an easy way to remove them/stop that from happening?
Any suggestions? Ta Legs xxx

You'll find a script here.

What is the best way to remove personal data from the hard drive in preparation for selling my old Mac?

I am going to sell or perhaps donate my old Power Mac G5. Is there an easier, yet comprehensive way to remove my data from the hard-drive? My best approach is dumping anything I do not want found into the trash.
I am running Mac OS 10.5.8 on the powermac G5

For better security than the simple Erase (which does not actually over-write the data blocks, only clears the directory), choose Security Options, and Zero all data, one pass.
After a Zero all data, the only way to recover the data is to dis-assemble the drive in a clean room and use expensive test gear to recover a little of the data. That is good for all but Military Secrets.
If you really trust no one under any circumstances, remove the drive and beat it to death with a hammer.

Library has been duplicated, duplicates have no file location. Easy way to remove?

Library has been duplicated, duplicates have no file location. Is there an easy way to remove them?
It's a royal ache going through each one, clicking to see if it will play, getting a 'cannot locate the file' message, delete, etc etc.
Showing duplicates just shows I have a lot to tidy up.
<Edited By Host>

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Removing duplicate rows from SELECT

Hi, I was wondering if there was any way to remove duplicate rows from a select statement.
My table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE CUS_ID_TO_PC_ID (
CUSTOMER_ID VARCHAR2 (10) NOT NULL,
PC_ID VARCHAR2 (25) NOT NULL,
PASSWORD VARCHAR2 (25) NOT NULL,
REG_DATE DATE,
PRODUCT_DESC VARCHAR2 (25),
EXPIRE_DATE DATE,
SERIAL_NBR VARCHAR2 (12),
LDAP_USER VARCHAR2 (200),
COMMENTS VARCHAR2 (2000),
PC_ID_5_4 VARCHAR2 (25),
PC_ID_6_0 VARCHAR2 (25),
PASSWORD_5_4 VARCHAR2 (25),
PASSWORD_6_0 VARCHAR2 (25),
PC_ID_6_1 VARCHAR2 (25),
PASSWORD_6_1 VARCHAR2 (25),
OPERATING_SYSTEM VARCHAR2 (20),
STATUS VARCHAR2 (1)
Basically, I want to retrieve all columns from the table but remove all duplicate variations of
the pc_id/serial_nbr combinations.
For example, given this data:
PC_ID SERIAL_NBR CUSTOMER_NO
1234567 AAA C345
1234567 AAA C567
3333333 BBB C456
only the 1st and 3rd rows would be returned.
Any ideas?

Try something like this:
select * from your_table yt
where rowid in (select max(rowid)
from your_tabel yt2
where yt2.pc_id = yt.pc_id
and yt2.serial_nbr = yt.serial_nbr);

The list that comes up when you click on the Purchased icon when updating apps.
The list is becoming quite large after I installed and tried out a few apps.
