Hiding Photos - well not really.

Seems to me that the essential purpose of "hiding photos" is confused by how iPhoto is doing this - unless of course, I am misunderstanding something.
Can someone please clarify.
If I want a few photographs to not appear in my general iPhoto library, how do I place these elsewhere - say a new folder - without the current sign in the upper right hand corner announcing, "6 more hidden" - which essentially defeats the very purpose; instead of hiding them, these pictures are now front and center announced as being hidden! Can one place photos in a separate folder for example, while deleting them from the main library? (When I try this, the pictures get deleted both from the new folder and the main library.)
Curious what others are doing with this.
Thanks,
John.

The only way to completely hide and protect photos for others who have access to your computer is to put them in their own separate library and put that library in a password protected disk image file.
Or, create a separate user account for the others and password protect your account. Let them create and user their own library in their own account.

IOS 5 photo edits not really saved?

I cropped and applied auto-enhance to photos on my iPhone 4S running iOS 5then uploaded what I thought were edited photos to Facebook.
It turns out the edits were not really saved even though I saved the edits.
Original photos before the edits were uploaded Facebook.
Is this a bug? What would be the point of editing photos using the iOS 5 photo edit tools if the edits are not really saved for export?
Is there a fix?

This is interesting, because I had the opposite experience, but then I touched something. :-)
It seems that the Photos app behaves like iPhoto in that you can revert your edits. It can be done directly in the Photos app (clumsy) or in iPhoto once you've copied the photo to your Mac (easier).
I cropped a photo and uploaded it to FB. It looked cropped both on FB and in my linked iPhoto album. I thought that Photos had overwritten my photo because I didn't see an obvious way to revert it. After discovering how to revert the image, I did so in iPhoto. Now the image on FB and in the linked album show the image as uncropped.
I don't know if this helps your situation, but it explains a bit more of the weird Photos behavior that's been observed since iOS 5 dropped.

Help or I'm going PC!!! ( well not really )

Hello everyone, Well I've been reading long enough that my eyes are burning and I'm still not sure what to do, but I've found out a lot that i did wrong.
This is what I have; Power mac G4 AGP graphics, model p.m.3.1, power pc g4 2.8, 450 mhz, 1mb, 1gb, bus speed 100mhz, serial #SG9532N2HPO. That I got off ebay (after i said i would never do again after the G3) It came preloaded with 10.4 NO DISK! It wont read most cd's or eject them, It freezes faster than I can click save and I reset or power down faster than i can open programs. I can't open any of the dashboard controls (disk utilities, etc.) I tried to down load updates but error broken pipe came up? I'm ready to do a fresh install and need advice. I have the system software for my old power mac 7200 threw 9500, OS 8.5 (not the original that came with G4) OS 9.2.1 cd and 9.2.2 update that i saved on disk, 10.2 replacement cd from apple, and retail version of osx 10.3. I will be using Photo shop, Illustrator 7 & 10, old school type styler. etc so i need os 9 and OSX. But with no 10.4 disk will i lose 10.4 should i upgrade later when i have the money? what firmware update do i need. What order and how should I install, also this mac is not online at the moment. If any one could help you would be doing more than you know.
thanks.

You might be able to check if your computer even needs its firmware updated. I'm using Tiger right now so I can't check this from OS9 but in Tiger in System Profiler (which is also available for OS9) you can get the Boot ROM firmware version in the general hardware information. You could check that against what the firmware updater would install. I'd imagine System Profiler might be on the OS9 installer CD so all you'd need to do would be boot from the CD and check. The reason for installing OS9 is so you can update the firmware, or if you want to run Classic or OS9 natively.
OS9 doesn't have permissions as such, and certainly not in Drive Setup or Disk First Aid, so you can't repair its permissions -- that's all OSX stuff.
If you want to partition the drive I would do that while booted to OSX, though you could do it using Drive Setup while booted to the OS9 CD. The only thing is the drivers on the CD may be old and you'd need to update those too. Of course partitioning after installing OS9 will erase any OS9 you have put on there, so you may actually end up having to install it twice if you have to do it a first time for the firmware update and if eventually want it on the drive. Select HFS+. I kind of skipped the Panther generation so I may be a bit off in some advice. With Tiger you should format the OSX boot partition to HFS+ journaled. For both partitions I'd go ahead and install the OS9 drivers so if for some reason you booted to OS9 you could see both partitions.
Install OSX. Repairing permissions regularly is good. Do updates. You can re-install OS9 too if you have/need to; I believe you have to actually be booted in OS9 to run the OS9 installer.
So things a stage at a time and check everything works at each stage so if you have problems you can narrow it down.

Edit in Photoshop Fixed in 2.1--Well not really!

Just downloaded the 2.1 update and tried out one of my major annoyances which was the edit in Photoshop bug which would not automatically add the file back into Lightroom. Now when I do it, seems to edit the photo, then save it back to Lightroom. Only problem now is color lables. When I edit, I assign color labels for B&W, Tweak, Standard. Yellow is for B&W, Green is for Tweaks, and Blue is standard edits. If I choose to edit a photo that has a yellow label in photoshop, it adds it back to lightroom with no color label. I then need to stop filtering by color label, find the edited file, assign it my yellow color label, and then go back to filtering my images in order to stack it with the original. Whew, too much work. Any body have any ideas?
Thanks,
Toby

Toby I could be wrong and if I am someone I am sure will point it out.
I thought that when you edited an image in Photoshop that you weren't
actually editing the original image file, but a copy. If that is the case
the image you save after editing in Photoshop is a totally different file
(someplace on your system) and being that wouldn't have the color code
assigned because it isn't that image any more.
Right or wrong what I would like to see adding is that when you edit an
image or take it to another program or whatever for whatever reason (HDR,
Pano, etc.) when it came back in to LR it was automatically added to a new
collection called edited. This would be a LR only collection that the user
couldn't add to other than to edit a photo in photoshop, make a panorama,
etc. This way you could easily find, move, keyword, etc. images that you
just stitched, made in to an HDR or edited in photoshop. This would save you
from having to search the library for them.

Slow folder browsing on VPN vs Window (AFPvsSMB-well not really)

Wondering if there is anyway to speed up any Macs that are browsing across a VPN. Well the issue is not the VPN per say but more the way apple browses network directories.
I have a 10.6.8 server that shares a directory structure for my organization. In house computers have no problems with speed, as they are on the local lan. Now throw VPN into the scenario.
I understand fully that connection accross the VPN will depend on many factors, one of which being the service provider etc...
If I take a Mac (iMac 2010 running 10.6.8) and connect to the AFP OR SMB share, it seems to take forever to browse the directory structure just to get to the file the end user wants.
Same office and same VPN, browse the shared drive on a windows XP machine, and directory browsing is lightning fast.
It also seems the the opening (which I never recommend to my users) or copying of a file seems to take approx. the same amount of time, whether in mac or windows, it is the "getting to the file" that takes forever.
On the mac side, it is barely faster to connect over SMB, however still nothing close to as fast as the windows machine. Does this seem normal? and is there anything I can do for my Mac counter parts to speed up this process?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Please let me know what additional information you need.
Server is hosting SMD, AFP, iCAL, iCHAT, AddressBook, DNS, WEB on XServe running 10.6.8.

Apple has always seemed to give poor performance for remote users compared to an equivalent Windows setup running over the same remote link. I think this is a combination of several things.
Firstly, the Finder on a Mac gets a lot more information to display a directory listing than Windows Explorer on Windows does. The Finder is of course getting the same file/folder names but in addition can get Finder comments, labels (colours), custom icons, etc. which Windows Explorer would not.
Secondly, I am convinced that AFP is not as efficient over slow links and/or high latency links as SMB.
Thirdly, I am also convinced that the Finder is grotesquely inefficient in sending and processing commands and replies, whereas perhaps Windows batches things up. As an ancient example of this anyone else remember the floppy disk shuffle on the original Macs?
I suspect because Apple have a very fast pipe to the Internet they have not appreciated how bad this can be. They need perhaps to consider getting a WAN link simulator and then they can see the problem and hopefully introduce more optimisation.
Unfortunately there is not much you can do about any of these things, you could try using SMB on the Mac rather than AFP as this might cause the Finder to not try getting some of the extra information like colour labels. Avoiding using the Finder if possible is the best option, you could help achieve this by keeping shortcuts to files on the Server so you don't have to keep browsing to the folder itself.

Install complete, well, not really. :-(

I'm brand new with ColdFusion. I have a vague idea of what a
web server is. I'm basically a Dreamweaver user who maintains my
own business website and I want to add some interactivity. So I'm
doing tutorials on lynda.com and ColdFusion looks like a good way
to get where I want to go. But perhaps I've bitten off more than I
can chew?
I installed the coldfusion-702-win.exe file into the default
directory, c:\CFusionMX7. I chose all of the defaults, including
c:\inetpub\wwwroot
At what purports to be the end of the installation, I get a
strange dialog boxup reading, "You have succesfully completed the
first step in installing Macromedia ColdFusion MX7
However, the web server connectors did not install
sucessfully. One possible reason is that port 51011 is blocked.
Please complete the folowing steps to complete the
instalation:
1) Consult the installation guide on how to manually
configure the web server connector,
2) Ensure any firewall software blocking port 51011 is
disabled,
3) Ensure the ColdFusion service is started,
4) Manually configure your web server connectors,
And the rest just disappeared so I can't finish typing it
out! The text couldn't be copied and pasted. Oh joy.
I can't find an installation guide, either in my CF
installation, or anywhere on the adobe website. The Windows
firewall is turned off. I have a hardware firewall for my network,
a Sonicwall that is also the router.
I can't find any reference to port 51011 on my computer. I've
Googled this and find plenty of references but unfortunately I just
don't understand all of this tech talk.
Is there a book or tutorial somewhere that explains all of
this for a non programmer? I use Dreamweaver so I don't have to
deal directly with XHTML any more than absolutely necessary. I
should perhaps hire somebody to do my website for me but for the
most part I enjoy doing it. I just need things spelled out very
clearly. The lynda.com tutorial doesn't go into this. It's for
ColdFusion MX, and a few references to this port 51011 issue
suggest it's related to MX7.
Is it just a bug with MX7?
Thanks,
Peter Jon White

Is this true? Is this reply a direct response to the problem
I described? Or is it a canned, "out of the box" reply? I ask
because after posting my message I tried installing ColdFusion on
another computer, which is running exactly the same antivirus
software (System Suite), and ColdFusion installed correctly.
As I wrote, the only firewall is a hardware firewall. What is
port 51011? And what does it have to do with antivirus software?
Why does the Adobe website make no mention of disabling antivirus
software when installing CF? If it's imperative that antivirus
software be turned off, why did CF install correctly on the second
computer?

I'm not really a computer guy.Just got a Kodak easy share camera. When I import the photos, they go to the area with my name in a file with the date. How can I move them to iphoto, or even better, import them directly to iphoto??

I'm not really a computer guy. I just got a Kodak"easy share" camera. When I import the photos they go to the section with my name in a folder. How do I get them from there to iphoto, or better yet, how can i import them directly to iphoto?? As stated, I'm not knowledgable,have an imac and need real rudimentary direction.

in the iPhoto preferences be sure the action when camera is connected is open iPhoto
What program are you using to import the photos?
If they are in a folder you can drag that folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock to import - our launch iPhoto and under the file menu import from that folder
For real rudimentary directions try the iPhoto tutorials - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. for the concepts - actual commands mya have shanged in some cases - and under the iPhoto help menu ==> iPhoto help - watch the videos there

Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis and some are not really there?

Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis and some are not really there?

Why? Because of something you are doing wrong - however unless you actually tell us what you are doing - and what version of iPhoto you have - and any other detail that might help no one can even gess.
Exactly how are you exporting? Are the photos successfully exported to the desktop? How are you moving to the CD? why do you think they are not there?

I am really dissatisfied about the Mavs, how can i put it back to my Mountain Lion? since I've downloaded the Mavs, my iMovie, photo, contacts, notes has not been working properly at all. Please help! thanks

i downloaded the Mavs about 2 days ago. it restarted automatically as it stated... i have not really used it again until tonight. and boy was i so ******!
after downloading the new OS update, the list below stopped and wont work properly:
Contacts
iPhoto
iMovie
Notes
if theres anyone who can help me downgrade it back to Mountain Lion, id GREATLYYY appreciate it a lot.
Thanks!

You don't need to downgrade. If it worked in Mountain Lion it will work in Mavericks. Do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
three times faster than wireless.

Photo stream not working well

i cannot reset my Photo Stream at iCloud.com, it kept on popping out saying "server error, please try at a later time", etc. and days ago my iPhone 4 photos did not show any in my iPad 2, but now tonight i saw only on my iPad 2 one photo i took by my iPhone 4 this afternoon, i am at home the whole day in Wi Fi reach, and that is the only thing sync in my Photo Stream. very frugstrating!!!

i got some solution, i can reset it now, you cannot use Microsoft IE to reset, you have got to use the SAFARI to visit iCloud.com to do the re-setting. but still my problem is not fixed, i still cannot sync thru Photo Stream. i have cancel my account and sign in again, causing a lot of troubles, a lot of contacts merged, and got messed, up, i have one contact with two different names and totall different phone numbers, etc, what a big mess!!

but the photo is not getting reflected in the adobe forms .
and also i have tried the url method but it doesnt work .
please help me out .

First, have you set a breakpoint in this code and made sure that you are getting data into lt_image_bin? That would seem to be the first place to start.
Then the question is how are you trying to pass the image into the Adobe Form? Are you passing an XSTRING context attribute into the form interface? Have you marked that part of the interface as an image? Are you setting the MIME Type parameter of the form interface as well. You really haven't posted any details about what you are doing on the Adobe Form side.

Photos does not let one edit in external editor ....

I'm shocked , taken aback indeed , Photos does not allow editing in external software , i.e. Photoshop , .... or am I wrong.
If it is the case it does not allow external editing , especially in RAW , then I am not impressed .
iPhoto was rubbish ... really it was .. but if Photos does not allow editing other than within it'self ... well I'm sorry.... it's pure mince ( as we say in Scotland .

Yes, it's terrible. They've basically ripped away much of the key functionality of iPhoto making it really hard to "get" your photos.
All you can do until someone hopefully provides a third party plug in (or Apple sees sense) is to try and locate the photo file manually:
1. Locate Photos Library.photoslibrary
2. Right click and select Show Package Contents
3. Open the Masters folder
4. Three ways to find it:
Delve manually: in this folder, all your photos are organised by year, month, and supposedly day, and then various subfolders within that but actually it's inconsistent and/or the photos and video are using different time zones*. So you may need to check the previous day or a day later.
Search within Masters, eg "Created date" is "within last" "5 days" or whatever suits you
Right click the photo in Photos to get its file name, and search for that as a Finder search. However the photos are so "locked away" that you can't even click Command to see the file path in the search results (as you can usually do with search results). You will need to click "show all in Finder" and then finally you'll get to the actual image (and be able to see the file path).
As an example, this is what the file path looks like for an image of mine:
Photos Library.photoslibrary -> Masters -> 2015 -> 04 -> 12 -> 20150412-100955 -> IMG_1881.PNG
*Note on subfolder craziness:
As an example, I took two photos on my iPhone today within one minute of each other. They are in two different subfolders. A week ago I took six photos over three hours, and they are all in the same subfolder. So it's a complete mess.

Apple TV photo stream not working

I want to start using my Apple TV to stream my pics.
On my iPhone 4 and on my iPad (Gen4) the photo stream works really well but when I switch my Apple TV on it only pulls the very last pic I took through.
I have updated the Apple TV and all the iOS devises are on the most up to date iOS.
Don't understand why I only pulls one picture and not all the others.
Pls help

What... ?
I need more info, where do we setup this account... ?
It work Before the 5.1 update so if what you said is true I already have that kind of account but where do I find it ?

PSE 11 Divide Scanned Photos is not active

I scanned a number of photos and when I went into editor>image and the divide scanned photos was not an active choice. It was on the menu but I couldn't select it. I scanned a number of times to include setting the pictures at an angle just to be sure it could be detected. It used to work in PSE 9
I am using an HP office jet Pro 8600 premium.
OS is windows 7

That was absolutely the correct answer. I was in Quick mode. In Expert mode, it works but not as well as in PSE9. I really have to off set the photos to get them picked up separately. I just need to experiment more.
Thanks for the help

Hiding Photos - well not really.
