Having a hard time transferring photo files

i seem to be having difficulty transferring photo files from my cannon image browser program to iphoto. the cannon image browser software came with my camera and for some dumb reason i have been uploading my images with it, but now i have come to realize how slow and clumsy it is. i am trying to get rid of it all together but don't want to lose my photos. i have tried creating a new file on my desktop and then manually moving photos to it and then transferring them to iphoto. this has worked a few times but now and error message shows up each time saying i dont have enough space on my hard drive to complete the import. i can't simply drag items out of the cannon browser into iphoto for some reason. this has become highly frustrating. please help.

What is your hard drive capacity and available free space?
Just like iTunes, iPhoto by default (I believe) copies a chosen photo for import to the iPhoto library - does not just transfer it from one location to another but there is a preference setting for this.
To confirm, are the photos selected for import into the iPhoto library and successfully imported still available in this folder? If so, there are now two copies of each photo imported - one in the folder and another in the iPhoto library.
At the menu bar, go to iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced and next to Importing, deselect "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library"

Having a hard time transferring photos from MacBook Pro once they have been cropped or colored enhanced to my iPhone or iPad. If they have not been manipulated then they transfer fine. How can I fix this?

I've been cropping and editing pics in my MacBook Pro but once I try to transfer them to the iPhone or iPad 2 only the photos that have not been manipulated transfer with no problems. How do I solve this problem?

Option 1:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
If that fails:
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Use the option to check and repair library permissions

Having a hard time with burning photos onto a CD...

Whew! I just found the photos I thought I had deleted this morning, they're in my Finder, inside the iPhoto Library. Now I'm having a hard time trying to burn them onto a CD. The size is 232 MB and my MacBook is OSX Lepard. Would you tell me how to do it step by step? I'm not good at this stuff. Thank you in advance for your help.

It is simple......

I am having a hard time with my fcp x running so slow. i can't even move my mouse without the time wheel coming on and staying up for at least 20 some seconds. I have upgraded my ram to 12 and changed all my files to proxy files; also i cleaned the crap out of my computer removing all other media files I didn't need and it is still running the same. Please help! I have a deadline on my short film to be submitted and I can't finish it like this. Oh also it ran fine in the beginning but and one day it just started doing this out of no where. Anything will help! Thanks

In addition have you got FileVault switched on as that will kill performance.

Having a hard time with permissions to create dir and files in www

Having a hard time getting permissions to create directories and files in www folder:
I followed the following guide here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ … arch-linux and here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ … arch-linux
So now I have a LEMP stack which runs fine and I have my root account secured and a new username "adriano". If I SFTP into the server using the username adriano, I am unable to create any files or directories. Trying to do a simple wordpress install doesn't work because I need to be able to create a folder for it, and a wp-config.php file. Both of which, like I mentioned, I do not have permissions to do. Yes, the username "adriano" has been added to the sudoers file via visudo.
I've never been very good at UNIX permissions so I was wondering if maybe someone can help me out?
Also, since I am using nginx it does not seem like I have a www-data group or user and my www folder is /usr/share/nginx/
Thank you,
AJ

No, no, you guys misunderstand me. I am not that much of an oblivious person. 95% of the time I understand EXACTLY what the code that I am copying and pasting does. And when I don't, I look into it further before executing said commands. I just tend to not remember commands so I google them, see examples, and then copy and paste them to avoid the busy work of typing out long strings. For example, it took me like 6 months to remember that to untar a .tar.gz file it was -xvfz.
But I digress. drcouzelis, I do have root access. It's my own VPS. However, I have always used shared hosting through different hosting providers and now that I got a VPS and have to do everything myself, I am a little bit lost.
I followed what wonderwoofy said and created a www-data group, added the adriano user to said group, and changed the owner of my http server root to www-data, and I SFTPed into the server again with filezilla and it still works perfectly. However, those "hordes of hackers" drcouzelis warned me about does not sound pleasant so I am really really really hoping one of you guys can tell me the next steps. Root login is disabled in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and I also changed the port to a random port I created. My web files are all served from /usr/share/nginx/ (there are different folders in there that correspond to different domains.) Now what I am wondering is that if user "adriano" is in the sudoers file as ALL=(ALL) ALL, doesn't that pretty make adriano the same as the root user? The reason why I am so worried about this is because I heard/read countless times that working through the root user is BADDDDDDDDDD and will bring evil and shame upon your life (not in those exact words) and that you should never work with it. Also, do I have to worry about anything dealing with groups and/or users and/or permissions when it comes to PHP? I have php-fpm installed.
I am willing to buy anyone who can help me out with this a beer or two and I will be forever in your debt.
Thank you,
AJ

Having very difficult time transferring pictures and videos from iPhone 4s to Windows 7!

Hello, after spending over 6 hours trying to transfer all of the files from my 64 gb 4s I have finally given up and decided to seek help here because I have researched just about every help site and/or forum site and there just doesn't seem to be a logical answer.
First I tried using a program called "Phone to PC" and it would keep giving me an error that my iTunes was not open and it was clearly open. It asked me to restart my computer and try again and still no go!
Then I paid for an app called Photosync which seemed to work great at first but anytime a video would try to transfer 100/100 times it would error out towards the end of the file transfer saying that my WiFi connection lost when everything was looking good on my end.
Then I read a post somewhere to use drop box and I went ahead and paid the $9.99 price for 100gb and I'm literally transferring the pictures as we speak and the sad thing is that it is only uploading the pictures in my Camera Roll and not in my photo library.
So I have about 400 pictures in my camera roll and 4,149 pictures in my photo library. It seems as if I have no problems at all getting the pictures from my camera roll but for the life of me I cannot get to the photo library.
When I click on the iPhone from "My Computer" the only files that show up are my camera roll.
I can't believe I am having such a hard time getting these files transferred! I damaged my old laptop that had all those pictures on it and went and bought a terabyte to back everything up on in case I lose my iPhone and I have wasted almost an entire day trying to figure out and I cant seem to find any answers.
Could someone please make me feel like the biggest idiot and tell me there is an easy way and that I was just completely blind???
These pictures mean so much to me...most from my wedding, honeymoon, birth of my son, and my sons whole first year.
The videos are equally important as the videos are the reason for my 64 gb only having about 4 gb left
PLEASE HELP ME

Have you tried transferringing the videos via usb (sinc you're having trouble transferring them with PhotoSync) as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 and just transferring the photos with PhotoSync?

I have lost my calendar data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. Can anyone help? I am using Mountain lion OS

I have lost my iCal data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. I am using Mountain Lion OS om iMac. Can anyone help?

You cannot see it because it is hidden.. one of those great things apple does.. if it is hidden in your Mac then it will be hidden in the Time Machine Backup.
You will need to restore the entire folder to a different location.. and unhide it.
There is some info here about restoring particular files or folders.
http://pondini.org/TM/16.html
And some info from Lion which should also relate to Mountain Lion.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3231381?start=0&tstart=0
There is stuff about recovery near the end.
One wonders sometimes when Apple make these decisions if they ever think about what happens when something goes wrong. Hiding files..???

Having a hard time selecting an iWeb website host

Now that MobileMe is gone and my website is down (yes, i missed the memo)... im researching hosts and having a hard time choosing.
I would like unlimited storage as I have a lot of photos on my site.
RAGE sounds good but seems pricey.
I'm looking for a company familiar w/iWeb so that if there are any issues I have some assistance.
I have searched the community and googled and keep getting just a few answers. Nothing that really gives me a solid sense about the companies. And it seems that RAGE does a lot of self promotion posing as customer which seems a bit sketchy. I might be completely wrong but thats the sense Im getting from the videos and results I'm finding.
Is there a site that gives solid reviews of the web hosting companies?
Where have people here moved their iWeb website to?
Thanks

I have been using IX Webhosting for about 4 years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across.
As far as the unlimited is concerned they just do not set any pre-determined space or bandwidth.
I have several websites hosted on my hosting plan ( I am currently using the expert plan ) and haven't ran into any space issues here is my bandwidth (traffic) & disk space usage.

There are no BIOS settings, because Macs don't have a BIOS. I don't use Parallels, but I assume it has simulated BIOS settings. You'd have to consult its documentation to find out how to change them.

Having a hard time signing into websites with Safari

Hi, I'm having a hard time signing in my username and password for e-mail addresses I use and for message boards as well. I use Safari all the time accept for my school website that requires IE. Anyways, I use Comcast and I have been trying to sign into my e-mail address name and everyime I click "sign in mail" Safari says "Safari Can't Open Page". So then, I went to my AIM mail to sign in there and then it said the same thing. Then I went to this Apple Forum to ask if anyone knows what the problem is, and then when I went to sign into here, the same thing. So right now I am using Camino, but can anyone help me with this problem or is anyone having the same problem as me? Thanks.

I too have been having a problem of logging into certain websites with a username and password. Instead of logging in successfully with Safari, a blank page or an error would occur.
This happened for: citibank, comcast, sprint, and miscellaneous other sites.
This problem apparently had something to do with my cookies since erasing my cookies seemed to solve the problem. Here's how to do it:
Safari -> Preferences...-> Security -> Show Cookies -> Remove All.

I'm having a hard time with my sound blaster z sound card to sync with cs6. Can anyone share with me

I'm having a hard time with Adobe CS6 synching up with my soundcard. Latency settings and other applications are challenging at this time. I had 3.0, but my Windows 7 computer is now "deceased". Please help.

I endorse everything that Steve just said but to try and get you going while you're shopping for an audio interface more suitable for sound work than use as a doorstop, try the following:
Go to the Windows sound control panel and make sure the SB card is selected as the default on both the Recording and Playback tabs. On the advanced menu for both, set the bit depth and sample rate to either 16/44,100 (CD) or 16/48,000 (Video) depending what suits you best. Note that your SB card only works natively at 16/48,000 so anything else involves a conversion that the card hides from you.
Go to the Windows Control panel and, under the sound section, turn off all system sounds (since they can hijack your sound card). Close every other application that may want to use the sound card (internet for example).
In Audition, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware. Set the device class to MME. On the drop down menus set the Default Input and Default Output to be your Soundblaster. On the Master Clock set it for the SB Output (this'll likely be default). Set the latency at around 200ms (you may need to increase this later if your playback stutters--or you can try decreasing it until you get stutter, then take it back up a bit. Set the sample rate to whatever you selected on the Windows Sound Control Panel.
The Soundblaster will likely have installed it's own control menu. Go to this and select Mic or Line as appropriate for the input and whatever you need for the output. I can't be more specific as SB keep changing what they call things.
Hopefully this'll get you going even if it's not the best compromise for quality and latency.
