From PS back to LR: Save as vs. Save

When returning to LR from editing in PS (Which was sent to PS with command-E)if I want to rename the photo other than the default *-Edit can I just use Save As? Does the photo still get picked up by LR?
I want to rename photos with _sharpened or _Noise etc. so if there is a better way, please advise. Thanks.

You can set a naming scheme for externally edited files in preferences.
Since you seem to need different ones, you could also create a set of
them with different suffixes. In LR library view, press F2 (batch
rename) on the edited file and select the right scheme. There's also a
visual control for custom rename and batch rename in the right pane.

Can I use my time capsule to back up or save files from my pc?

My time capsule works great with my 2 Macs. I just got a PC and would like to know if I can use the time capsule to back up or save files from my PC?

You can.. but obviously PC is missing TM.. so you will need to use a backup software.
Saving files to the TC is not really recommended.. but as long as you have lots of space is unlikely to cause problems.. the whole idea of TM though is to keep incremental backups on an hourly basis and will slowly fill the TC.. once space is short.. it can get messy.
Also read Pondini who is positively against using it for other files.
http://pondini.org/TM/TCQ3.html
I suggest you read .. skim at least the FAQ so you actually understand what TM - TC is all about.
A USB drive plugged into the PC makes a better backup
1. It is formatted NTFS, ie native format and readable by any windows computer. A TC is a network device.
2. USB drives are cheap. You can use 2 of them and store one offsite.
3. USB traffic is not on the network.
4. Storing files on the TC is bad as it is a backup target not itself backed up.
5. In a pc you can add drive after drive after drive.. (assuming a desktop since you didn't say laptop). Only a Mac Pro can do that in the Mac world.. internal drives are cheaper than a. USB drives, b. network drives. And they are 10x or more faster.

Save a Switcher from Going Back to a PC Tonight!

I've been using PCs for as long as I can remember. With parallels available to run Windows XP within OS X, I finally made the switch and bought an MBP. Two weeks and one exchange later, I'm planning to return my MBP tonight and buy a VAIO SZ or Thinkpad.
But the truth is, I'm hoping someone on this forum can save me from going back to a PC. I've posted individually on some of these issues below, but haven't read any solutions. If you've got a solution to any of the following, please let me know!
- HOT HOT HOT: This is my biggest problem. Completely idle w/ no programs open = 48C. Running a few apps = 60-65C. Peak = 78C. These seem in line with intelmactemp.com, but even the top/wristwrest at 65C is too uncomfortable to type on for longer than 1/2 hour. I've been waiting and hoping for thermal paste break-in, but no signs yet. Even then, I've read to expect only a 2-5C drop, which doesn't sound like much. I think I need 10C.
- EXCHANGE INTEGRATION: I use Goodlink on my Treo 700p, and sync Notes and Tasks with Exchange so that I never have to sync my Treo with my computer. Entourage is horrible, but would be acceptable if it synced Notes and Tasks. From my Google searches, it sounds like there is no way to edit and sync Notes and Tasks with Exchange in OS X. Anyone have a solution?
- GARAGEBAND HISS: When I record a podcast, I hear a hiss in the background every time I speak. Again, Google search and posts on forums yield nothing. This makes GarageBand unusable to me for podcasts.
- ICHAT QUALITY: The very first time I tested ichat with my brother, we got a huge screen with great quality. Clearly H.264 at work. In the 10 times since with him and friends, I haven't been able to get that screen, even while monitoring Network Doctor and plugging in directly to high-speed broadband connections. The quality now is worse than Skype video on Windows. Any clue what's going on?
So that's it. The rest I can live with: poor battery life, heavy laptop for features, lack of dual-layer, no PCMCIA like the VAIO SZ which has both PCMCIA and ExpressCard, etc. But the above is just killing me, both on the hardware and software front.
Please save me from switching!

Well I switched 2 years ago, some specific suggestions:
- HOT HOT HOT: This is my biggest problem. Completely idle w/ no programs open = 48C. Running a few apps = 60-65C. Peak = 78C.
--- Mine runs at 43 deg idle 50 deg running apps, so this has never been an issue for me. Sorry....
- EXCHANGE INTEGRATION: I use Goodlink on my Treo 700p, and sync Notes and Tasks with Exchange so that I never have to sync my Treo with my computer. Entourage is horrible, but would be acceptable if it synced Notes and Tasks. From my Google searches, it sounds like there is no way to edit and sync Notes and Tasks with Exchange in OS X. Anyone have a solution?
--- Exchange doesn't sync notes and tasks. I use the palm entourage conduit to sync calendar and addressbook, but gave up using notes and tasks to sync - they just live on my palm now.
- GARAGEBAND HISS: When I record a podcast, I hear a hiss in the background every time I speak. Again, Google search and posts on forums yield nothing. This makes GarageBand unusable to me for podcasts.
---- don't use Garageband
- ICHAT QUALITY:
--- I chat usually gets blocked by firewalls when I'm travelling so I use Skype for mac instead
So that's it. The rest I can live with: poor battery life, heavy laptop for features, lack of dual-layer, no PCMCIA like the VAIO SZ which has both PCMCIA and ExpressCard, etc. But the above is just killing me, both on the hardware and software front.

The only thing I'd suggest is to get out of the PC 'habit'.
The OSX interface is much nicer with its 'floating' windows, widgets and expose features.
The adjustment pallets in office are great.
Most of all I like the look and feel of the true fonts rather than windowsvery bitmapped 'jaggy' ones.
IPhoto, iWeb and Aperture are great for photography
Mail is nicer to use than outlook
Spotlight is superb for finding things really fast
I simply couldn't work without iDisk for syncing my work and swapping files
Need I go on...?
Switching is about workarounds, giving some things up and finding new delights. You can't expect your mac to behave just like your PC as well as being a mac....

How do you save from Photoshop back to iPhoto?

How do you save your external edits from Photoshop back to iPhoto?
Fine, I know how it can be done ONCE : you simply flatten the image and then hit Save, and you see your edited image in iPhoto.
But, what if you FIRST want to save the .psd document complete with layers outside iPhoto, THEN flatten the image and save as a jpeg back to iPhoto? I tried this yesterday. I saved as a PSD file - with all layers and a new name - to my Pictures folder. Then I flattened the image and wanted to save it to iPhoto, but the temporary iPhoto location had disappeared from the Photoshop Save dialogue and Photoshop now displayed it under the new name.
This is annoying : you've got to save the PSD document first in order to preserve the layers. But when you do this, you lose the ability to save the image a second time, all layers flattened, back to iPhoto.

But if I'd flattened the psd without saving it as a psd, I could simply have saved it back to iPhoto (I've done that before).
Hold on - perhaps that's the answer...
What if..
1. I flatten the image and Save it back to iPhoto, then ...
2. Undo the 'flatten image' in Photoshop, then save THAT version as a psd?
I'll try this and let you know if it works.
ETA - Yay it works! Shoulda thought of that right off. I blame toothache

How can I save an HDR image from CS5 back to aperture as a tiff

I cant seem to get the hdr image to save back to aperture from CS5 . The save as box keeps coming up .

I am exporting 3 raw images to PS CS5 , merging in ps hdr pro ( mode 16 BIT , local adaptation ), then doing all the HDR adjustments.

I have to use save as & save to desk top & then drag bacxk in to aperture

I recently backed up my iPad and then I restored it to factory settings. Now, I want to restore it from the back up that I created, but it will not accept my Apple ID password. Is there any way that I can save my data?

Hi,
As I have said in the title, I was supposed to do a restore on my iPad for work. I backed up the device and then I restored it to factory settings as I was instructed. Now that all of that is complete, I tried to restore it from the back up point I created and it will not recognize my Apple ID password. I really hope that I won't lose all of my data, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried entering my password numerous times. I really hope that someone can help me.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

How do I get iTunes songs which were downloaded from external back-up drive to play on new computer and is there a way to get my play lists back?

When I try to play a song from my re-installed iTunes library, I get the error message: "Song xxx could not be played because original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" > "Locate" or "Cancel." When I click on "Locate" I can't figure out how to get the song to play from any of the places that were "located." The path is C:\users\Janet\libraries\music\iTunes
However, iTunes songs chosen from my library will play in iTunes (current version) when I have the external back-up drive plugged in! I recently copied my backed-up iTunes library from my external back-up drive to a new computer.
Most of the songs, but not all, magically appear in Windows Media Player and I can play those just fine.
I can see my iTunes library in the newest version of iTunes, recently downloaded to new computer, but can't play songs without connecting to the external back-up drive - so maybe there is something else on that external drive that needs to be on my C: drive?
I am using an HP Pavillion Notebook, Windows 7, 64-bit. My previous computer was Windows Vista. Before Vista, I had XP.
Back when I had XP, I wanted to purchase some songs to download to my computer. Because iTunes had the ability, I used it to create a massive library of songs, most of which were ripped from my CDs. I don't have an iPod and iTunes worked fine for creating playlists and then burning them to CDs.
Also, I'd like to know if there is a way to get back my playlists.
And another thing - in the older version of iTunes, there was a folder in the lists on the left-hand side of the screen where I could click to see all the songs I had purchased. I'd like to get that ability back if possible.
In hindsight, iTunes was probably not the best choice for me to build my music library in a Windows operating system, but it seemed to be the best choice at the time. I really wish I could convert all the songs to mp3 format.
I have been working with computers since the days of DOS, black and white screens, and no mice. The first computer I bought for my own use at home was a Mac and it had "Flying Toasters" as a screensaver. (I miss that screensaver.) It did not have a tower and I believe they called it a laptop, even though the thing was as big as a suitcase and probably weighed around 30 pounds. However, I am by no means a computer expert. In other words, pretend you're trying to tell your mother how to do what I am asking. =)
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

I really need to go back to the save I made a day ago, my time machine is not set up and files haven't been automatically uploading to cc is there anyway I can go back a day in saves?

Hi, I just had an issue with a photoshop document, my mac book temporarily crashed the screen glitches and deleted some vital layers I had constructed (took half a day) I thought I could correct it and saved it a few times in a panic and now i really need to go back to the save I made a day ago, my time machine is not set up and I just realised my files haven't been automatically uploading to cc is there anyway I can go back a day in saves?

So you don't have anything like Shadow Protect running in the background?
Video editing software only needs to save the steps taken to achieve the edit, and references the actual video files from the hard drive. So the saved files are only tiny, and it takes very little drive space to auto save to incrementing file names. Obviously, Photoshop files can be huge by comparison, so the only way to save with a different file name is to do it manually.
I think most regular posters to this forum make a point of updating the file name of a large project every hour or so, and as a direct response to reading so many horror stories like your own. The worst story I remember was from a poster whose computer had crashed half way through saving a large PSD file. After several response, questions and answers, it turned out he was using a laptop with a failing battery. He told us that he could see the battery was getting low, but left it and left it before finally hitting Ctrl s and running off to find the laptop's power lead. When he got back the laptop had run out of power and shut down, and his PSD file was lost forever. He may have been a prime candidate to a computing Darwin Award, but his stupidity still did the rest of us a service so we could learn from his mistake.
Ouch.
My digital audio workstation works on the same principle; it creates a backup save just in case things go wrong (which--knock on wood--hasn't happened to me) and only references audio/MIDI files that are related to the project.
My advice is to always, always back up sensitive documents. There are lots of ways of doing this, from manually to automatically. (e.g., A lot of higher-end routers let you connect external storage via USB so you can run backup software that detects any changes to a monitored folder over a network and then backs up any changed/updated documents to the connected storage. I prefer to do it myself manually, though.)

My photos have disappeared from my phone and I can not figure out how to pull them from iCloud back to my phone. Can someone help me??

How do u get ur photos from iCloud back to ur phone if the disappear???

You download photo stream photos by going to Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream and setting it to On. Photos are only held in photo stream for 30 days, so older photos will no longer be there.
Camera roll photos are only included in your backup. If the photos were on your iPod when you last backed it up, restoring the entire backup should recover them. Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial device setup process. If you have any newer data on your iPod now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on your iPod and given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

Is there a way to go move a project from IDVD back to IMOVIE?

This is clearly a newbie question:
I know how to share from Imovie to IDVD and I made my IDVD project, but now I don't know if I still have the IMovie I originally transferred.
Is there a way to move a project from IDVD back to IMOVIE?

First, go back to iMovie and look under both iMovie Events and Projects to see if you still have the movie. Double check by looking in Finder to where you save the movies you create. For instance, if you save to Movies, there should be folders in there for iMovie Events and iMovie Projects. If they are there, you should see them in the lists in iMovie.
If not, I don't think there is a way you can move it directly back to iMovie. Is there a real need to have it in iMovie? Unless you are going to change the movie, there is not a need to keep it there. If, for some reason you want it there, however, you can go thru the process of copying the DVD back to the hard drive using MPEG Streamclip, and exporting it to Quicktime. Then open iMovie, and bring it back into iMovie.

Saving photo from photoshop back to lightroom

I am trying to save my photo from photoshop back to lightroom and I keep getting an error that is "could not save because disk does not exist. Anyone know how to fix this?

Has the file ever been imported into Lightroom?
Did you use the "edit in PS" function to send the file from Lightroom to PS for further editing?

HT1451 why does my library continue to disapear and must be re-downloaded from my back-up

why does my library disapear every time I close the file. When I re-enter Itunes library it makes me reload my library from a back-up file. Then I end-up with duplicates.

Clone your system.
Never apply updates w/o one.
And yes there is a page with all the Apple Downloads to do manually and then you can keep it on hand. Same for the OS X Lion or ML installer - save them before running. Still on 10.6.8 so you have OS X 10.6 DVD.
Combo updates do not do any harm. There could be issues to the drive directory beforehand.
Mac Pro has been shipping with Lion since summer 2011, though you can even now still reinstall iwth 10.6.4+

Saving from ipod back to itunes

Hello
I just changed my ipod nano for an ipod video, the ipod video has over 6000 songs on it, but my itunes playlists have just a few from what i had purchased for the nano.
When i connect the ipod video, can i save all the songs on the ipod back to itunes so that i don't lose any of the songs?
I'm worried when i connect the ipod video to itunes it will just wipe it and put the songs from itunes on it?

First of all try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

Can I revert from CC back to CS6?

I received a file I couldn't read (as I am running CS6) so I downloaded a trial version of CC to read the file and save it to CS6. But after that, CC subsumed my CS6 as the default application and without me realizing it saved 14 of my source packaged files as CC—now I cannot open them. I am furious! What can I do? I refuse to be manipulated into the "CLOUD" until I am ready! I already uninstalled CC...

Yes, you didn't mention which Creative Cloud tools or trials you were using, but Cozmicone is right – for most Adobe CC apps you can downsave the file back to be openable in older CS6, CS5, CS4 or CS3 versions of the programs... although newer features that weren't present in earlier releases will not be supported.

Laptop crashed and how to transfer music from ipod back to laptop and won't transfer new purchases to ipod?

My laptop crashed about 2 days ago. I got it fixed and had to reinstall it. I had to reinstall itunes all over again. How do I transfer all my songs from my ipod including the ones that were from hardcopies and by hardcopies I mean cds I bought in real life and is on a disc. All of the songs are still on my ipod so how do I upload all of the songs and videos (purchases, music/songs from hardcopies/cds uploaded not bought from itunes, etc...?) How would I upload all of that back to itunes on my laptop? Another question is for some reason when I hook up my ipod to my laptop, I recently bought 23 songs about a day ago and it won't upload those purchases to my ipod, is it because I have all the hardcopies and downloads on my ipod that the itunes library doesnt have? Also, how would I sync my newest purchases to my ipod efficiently without deleting any of the hardcopies I uploaded before my laptop crashed?

For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
