Halp with photos

Can any one tell me what kind of cable I need to get to be able to connect my ipod to my camera. I found this one that looks close Apple iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable. I am going out of the country and I don't want to have to take my laptop.I have a sony camera if that helps.

Lightroom 3 Error Working With Photos That Work With Other Apps

My Setup:
Lightroom 3.3 for Mac
iMac OS X 10.6.6
The problem:
Lightroom is unable to work with photos it used to be able to work with. In the Library Module I get the error message "There was an error working with the photo." In the Develop Module I get the message "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged."
Now I know the photos are ok because I can view them in other apps including Photoshop CS5
And these photos used to work in Lightroom.
I am suspicious it has something to do with Picasa, which I use to catalog faces. I have compared the exif data and the photos that don't work have an extra value called "Image Unique Id" and it appears to be a long hexadecimal number. Also, the software version has been modified to indicate "Picasa".
It bothers me that a world class product like LIghtroom is not robust enough to work on these files when everything else I have tried does work. The problem is LIghtroom is the primary tool in my workflow.
So has anybody seen this and know of a way to fix it?

@Pete -
Thanks for the feedback, but my I think my concern is valid. Whatever Picasa is doing to the photo other apps like Apple Preview and CS5 can deal with it. Lightroom cannot. I am not explicitly modifying the files in Picasa just using Picasa to catalogue the faces. So yes, I will quit using Picasa, but I still have hundreds (if not thousands) of photos that can no longer be processed by Lightroom and I need guidance on how to best recover these photos.
I didn't know whether the Image Unique Id is standard or not, but I do know it does not show up in the files that work, only in the files that do not work. I just assumed that it was non-standard because I did not see it on functioning files.
Also, I would argue that Lightroom should be better able to handle this kind of situation instead of just not working. Thanks again.

How to convert Sony camcorder 1080i AIC .mov files to work with Photos app?

I have a Sony SDR-HD10 camcorder from 2008. It records in 1080i format, and I exported to .mov using the Apple Intermediate Codec, Linear PCM, Timecode format, 1920x1080; Color Profile HD (1-1-1); 2 channel audio.
I have 121 files totaling 105GB. These files all play fine in iMovie. BUT - when I open them in Quicktime X for Yosemite, it converts them into a file that is about twice the space on the drive. The resulting file is Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, Timecode, 1888x1062. It also resets the created and edited date/time.
I looked at each video and the resulting quality is about the same.
How can I convert these files into something that Photos will like, but not double in size?
Also, I should point out that I'm not certain I should be using Photos for movies. I used to use iPhoto for pictures, and iMovie for movies, but hardly ever cared to edit videos and thought iMovie was too bulky and confusing for general playback. With Photos, it will upload everything to the cloud (and I'm paying for it), so i can use Photos as my canonical source for all movies and pictures. I have iTunes Match, and my email is hosted by Google, so I'm getting closer to having everything in the cloud. so far, i haven't gone all in with Dropbox for documents, probably because I'm too paranoid about corruption on a remote device like that if there is any concurrent access.

Check out the export settings from iMovie. Your exporting in a very high grade format used for editing, you want a delivery format. Ask on the iMovie forum for more.

Keywords imported but don't show up with photos

I am not getting keywords to show up with imported photos. i've done a lot of searching on this and other forums to try to figure out what is different about my situation but to no avail. here's what I've deduced though:
the keywords will import if I deselect “Copy the items to the iPhoto Library”. But if I leave the default box checked", I will not get keywords associated with the photos.
(the rest of my discussion deals with a library where the imported photos ARE copied to the library)
Interestingly, the keywords ARE imported into iPhoto (if one looks at the keyword list); they just aren't attached to the photos (i.e. clicking <Get Info> shows no keywords, as opposed to them being there but just not showing up on the screen with the image). Most (but not all) of my imported photos show up in iPhoto without any keywords attached. Most Events are all-or-nothing; i.e. all the photos of the event either have keywords or don’t. At least one Event is a mix. I cannot make any sense as to why some do, as the ones that do will be part of an event that all the other photo's don't show the keywords; additionally, neither the ones with nor the ones without keywords share any common feature or change (e.g. edited, rotated, file type, keyword/tag name, etc.).
I'm a pretty basic user when it comes to photos (but with a fair amount of common sense and computer knowledge); not trying to do anything fancy here. I don't know much about photography, so I'm not manipulating photo settings on my camera and am not (purposefully/knowingly) manipulating the metadata directly from the file. So, I'm baffled as to why my system would be acting differently than any other "out of the box" iMac.
In case it matters:
-- the photos being imported originated from a Windows-based PC and tagged by Adobe Photoshop Elements. I have the same problem regardless of whether I export them (using Photoshop) to a file on the iMac or directly import them over the network from the PC using iPhoto.
-- (Using iPhoto Library Manager) I created another iPhoto library to see if the same thing would happen with photos imported to a different library -- same problem. (BTW, I checked the new library's Keywords BEFORE I imported to make sure the keyword "library" wasn't somehow replicated from the previous library.)
-- In one of your forum discussions, you said that these “copies” would be in the “Originals” folder within the iPhoto package, right? If so, then they are the same size as the files being imported minus a few KBs, presumably due to the lack of associated keywords.
I assume that these "copied" files are suppose to retain their keyword/tag info. Any ideas why they aren't and/or what I can do about it? I tried rebuilding the database too but that didn't do any good. I'm figuring on trying to reimport everything again, but I fear I'll get the same result.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try the simple fix: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and see if the keywords show up. If not, then launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

If i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it as the option 'set up as new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos and ect?

if i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it to the option 'set up as a new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and log into my apple ID so i can just restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos, contacts, ect. and then later i can add contacts that i need/want instead of them restoring them from icloud?
The reason i asked this question is because i have been wondering this a lot ever since i got an exchange on this ipod (and ive only had it for a few weeks now) because my last ipod had a lot of problems. so after i restored my ipod with my computer/itunes, i downloaded apps that i wanted, and then when i went to the storage to see how much storage was left, it said 0 bytes. i was freaking out because i didnt know how that could be, i mean, cause like, that is impossible when i just 'purchased' it, that the space was full but i looked and all my pictures were on this ipod and i already put them on my computer so i dont need them anymore thats why i wanna reset it now so there is nothing on it so i can have more space for stuff to do and download on it.
it is updated to iOS 8 but that happened when i purchased it, so i didnt have a choice to update it even though i didnt want to update to iOS 8...
and i hope you understand my problem..
i would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me a solution to my problem!!! thank you so much!

Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded

I've about had it up to here with this new Photos scheme. I reorganised my Aperture libraries on both my iMac and MBA in preparation for this, delayed turning Photos on for a couple of days until I thought everything was ready based upon the limited advice that was out there, and then got stuck in an endless loop of "uploading" and "preparing" every time I opened Photos. There are 19,975 images in my Aperture library on the iMac. I was stuck at Uploading at anywhere between that number and 19,000 with no progress after hours of waiting. I tried all the tricks mentioned here including re booting, restarting the app, repairing/rebuilding the database, killing the "cloudd" process, etc.today Today when I restarted Photos, it now said I had 23,775 images to upload- 4000
more than I have-and of course it got stuck there, like it has for the last week.
I copied the previous Aperture library (pre Photos migration)back to my iMac and opened it in Aperture. Thankfully, all the photos I had taken on my iPhone this week during this Photos clusterphuck transition were in the Aperture Stream so I didn't lose any of those. I'm willing to give this whole thing one more shot. So i need some advice. How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded (about 6000 of 19,000 images in the last 7 days) ? If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?

It is hard to say from your post, why the migration did not succeed in your case.
by "stuck on upload" do you mean, you opened the Aperture library in Photos, and Photos converted it to a Photo Library, and then the upload to iCloud Photo Library did hang? Or did already the upgrade to the Photo Library fail?
If you want the Aperture library to upload to iCloud Photo Library, it needs to be on a disk formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and the original image files must not be referenced. Referenced originals will not upload.
Also, the upload may hang, if you do not have enough free iCloud storage, orr if one of the videos or photos in your library is in an unsupported format or corrupted.
To start over, try to repair and rebuild the Aperture library before opening it in Photos. Try all Aperture Library First Aid options - starting with repairing the permissions. (Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual)
If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?
You will have to delete the photos that are already in icloud too; otherwise you are risking duplicates.
Can you launch Photos at all? If yes, delete all photos in Photos and empty the Recently Deleted album. Wait for the deletion to sync to iCloud. Then delete the Photos.photolibrary.

I have a gmail account set up on my macbook pro. One mail I sent with photos continues to repeatedly downloaded in Recovery. At the same time my Gmail won't download new emails into Inbox when I press Get New Mail. Help

I have a gmail account set up on my mac. A few days ago I sent an email with photos in it and this email now is continuosly being recovered. In the meantime my inbox has stopped downloading new messages, even when i press Get New Mail. How can I stop the repeated recovery of the email and how can I get my inbox to download again?

OK, I persevered and used the Rebuild mailbox option on Mail, actually had to do it twice, but now when I boot up and Mail opens all the previously received iCloud messages I've read on iPhone/iPad are pushed through.

Can I use multiple Facebook accounts when sharing photos with Photos

With iPhotos I could set up multiple Facebook accounts and choose which account to share to...that does not seem to be an option with Photos.

Terence,
I do not see the Accounts in preferences of iphoto? Where is this?

Manually-entered date information doesn't stay with photos outside iPhoto

Hello--
I'm having problems trying to share the date information I've manually added in iPhoto to all my scanned photos.
I understand because they are scanned photos they are really new files where the image creation date is the day they were scanned. However, why is it that I can export the title, keywords, and location information of any of these scanned photos but not the date information that iPhoto is storing and using to sort the photos by date?
I've tried exporting the photos to iDisk, sharing via e-mail with the title, keyword, and location information, and downloading specialized EXIF viewers (now understanding that a scanned photo isn't really going to have any EXIF data like a digital camera photo would). The only place external from iPhoto that I seem to be able to view the date information I've added to the scanned photos is in my MobileMe Web Gallery (but not when uploaded to a family member's Web Gallery), but only when selecting the "Show Detailed Info..." menu item after opening a photo...this date info does not come along when I download the photo from my own Web Gallery.
I've also tried changing the date on these scanned photos using the Batch Change... menu item with no resulting change over setting the date in the information area for the photo (I still only see the date I've set in iPhoto or in my Web Gallery).
My ultimate goal is to send many scanned photos with titles, keywords, and date information to a family member also using a Mac to build a slideshow with photos from several of us all sorted properly by date. Right now we're unable to figure out how to do that. Entering the date information into the description field allows that textual data to come along when I share via e-mail, but it doesn't solve the problem of allowing other people to sort automatically by date with a larger set of photos without them having to transcribe that textual date info into the date field in the information area of the photo.
Thank you very much in advance for any specific instructions on making this work! This is getting quite frustrating at how something so seemingly simple and valuable is turning out to be so difficult to figure out.

audio capture/auto ID3 tagging
What do you mean by this?
On the Windows machine I have an app called 'Spin it Again'
I use it for Vinyl and analogue tape capture for stuff that I could not fford to go out and buy new ( if even now available).
All I have to do is put in artist name and title and it finds from online database (Gracenote plus others) , it analysis the audio and automatically splits the single capture in to individual tracks, saving the track names to each track, it uses recorded track length and database info to to comfirm/database naming. It also has basic audio filtering/crackle/hiss removal, audio cleanup options all in one package.
I have yet to find anything that does the same job on the Mac,
iTunes will auto tag tracks from an online database.
The iTunes store database is very limited and does not have much of the older stuff. Plus I have always used FLAC format as my 'archive store' for all my audio, so ripping with iTunes is out For CD's I use EAC with Accurate rip to rip them and that also uses an online database with much greater range than iStore.
Have you searched on MacUpdate?
To an extent, and Garmin are now producing some better software for mac for their GPS units. But still nothing much in the Freeware world yet. I have tried a few apps for GPS over the last year (yes I have had a Mac for almost a year now) but still found nothing that has all the functions that I am used to on the Windows machine, and as I still have the Xp machine set up next to the mac , all on the same screens, then there is no difficulty in swapping machines. It is not of that great an importance that I am going to spend too much time on searching for Mac apps..something will turn up in time...as Name Mangler has done. I spend too much time on these bloody machines as it is...it is now 1210...and I have been on here since 0800...I had planned to go down the farm and do some work down there this morning...another morning gone and nothing real to show for it.

How can I access my parents iCloud account remotely to assist with photo management and printing?

How can I access my parents iCloud account remotely to assist with photo management and printing?

I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

We have an iMac OSX Lion.I received a CD with photos on it by a friend of mine. She scanned the photos to her computer and gave the disk to me . I installed it yesterday. I can hear the disk spinning but no pictures come up. What would be the problem?

We have an iMac OSX Lion. I received a CD with photos on it from a friend of mine. My friend scanned the photos to her computer and gave the disc to me. I can hear the disc spinning but the pictures aren't coming up to view. Before having the iMac I had a Dell computer. I was able to view the photos at that time. Is there something I can do so I can view them on my iMac? Thank you.

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

I would like to be able to create a few icons with photos on them and linked to a persons phone number.

Hi, my father is in the middle stages of dementia and having trouble using his new iphone. I would like to be able to create a few icons with photos on them and linked to a persons phone number. This way he can select an icon and it will auto-dial that number. I did some research and an app called SBphotoDial did exactly what I need but it no longer seems to be available in the App Store. Any thoughts?

iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
Make sure that the EXT Drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Movie with Photo's

I'm trying to make a movie with photo's and short video clips together. And then burn on a DVD, what is the easiest way to do this ?

You'll need to go through the iMovie tutorials if you've never used the program before, but a quick start:
Open iMovie, click on the little camera icon to the right and it will show your photos in iPhoto. Grab the photos you want and drag them over to the project window.
The video files you've uploaded from your camera will be in the Event Library, which is below the project window. Click on any of those you want, and it will highlight a 4-second clip. Grab the ends of the box and drag them to get the footage you want -- then drag the clip to the project window.
Rearrange them as desired. You can shorten or lengthen the duration of the photos.
