Hopefully a simple one...

I'm not a fan of iphoto for organising my photos but use it as a portal to import from my camera or iphone.
Once imported I then drag photos to finder where I drop the photos into folders.
My macbook gave me a warning that I was running low on disk space so I looked into my folder sizes and noticed that my iphoto library is 50gb. Since my photos folder within finder is the the same size and I have all the photos I want to keep saved on there... can I go into iphoto and drag the lot to trash and delete without affecting these copied photos?
I have changed the preference on iphoto so it will not make a copy there in future - I assume this will do the trick for me from here on?

Always delete from the iPhoto interface. Otherwise you will mess up the database.
Oh, and you might want to check the images you transferred. When you drag from the iPhoto interface it does not necessarily drag the original file, but iPhoto's working copy which may have more compression applied. (Your originals are safe in the iPhoto Library, you can get them by using Export with the kind set to original.)
I suggest that you use image capture instead of iPhoto. It should simplify your workflow. It is what iPhoto uses behind the scenes, anyway.

Application import/export failing, hopefully a simple one though

hi all,
i'm very new to oracle and am trying to get going with xe. i'm working between work and home and want to be able to transport wherever i'm at to work/home - so i thought the application import/export function would be the best way? first of all, is it?
if so - i keep getting the
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
error
i'm running the same versions of oracle, on the same platforms (Application Express 2.1.0.00.39, winXPpro all service packed up). both my users have dba roles and the apps work fine on the machines i created them on. the import and install processes claim to be successful and the error only comes up when i try to log in to the application. any ideas?
btw - the apps are just simple tests, dependences etc with a couple rows in each table]
any help be much appreciated even if its "go read this!" as i've googled away & got not much....
cheers!

Your problem is likely that in your office you do not have the tables required by your program. The export does not include your tables. You have to create them yourselves

have address field in the customer table or customerid field in the
addresses table
kindly tell me where i can find a complete simple one to one cmr example

You need to do a few things:
- describe the relation in your deployment descriptor (ejb-jar.xml).
- add the appropriate methods to your ejb, and to its home / remote interfaces.
Describing this will take far too long: check out this book which you can download for free (or better still, buy it :) )

Hints why all Update Routines are coming with 0.00. Even the simple ones?

Hi,
any hints why about 5 update routines that I have written are coming with 0.00 or blanks.
Even very simple ones such as the one for MyCclQTY in the cube, which has the only line in the update routine between ODS and Cube:
RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-QTY.
shows in the cube output as blanks while QTY has data:
e.g. of Cube Output:
QTY-Field2-MyCclQTY----MyCalField2
300--125--BLANK--
0.00
600--42.9-BLANK--
0.00
Basically all my routines, e.g. MyCclQTY, MyCalField2
are not showing values while the direct mappings show the correct data.
In the above simple case, with the routine shown above, I expected to see 300 and 600 for MyCclQTY but they come out blank.
Any hints as to what may be wrong?
Thanks

<Font Face="Tahoma" Color="Blue">
Dear Friend,
Can you please try
RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-Qty.
Also please check that you have assigned correct Unit of Measure in the field "Unit of Routine".
Hope it helps.

ItemRenderer woes - a simple one causing big issues :(

I have a simple data grid with one of the cells being
rendered by an itemRenderer in the form of a DateField (see code
below).
When the person changes the date in the DateField in the
grid, all that I want it to do is shoot off a HTTPService with the
details, and the result being to remove the row from the
datagrid....
Sounds simple doesn't it?
Well i thought it was but I am having big issues with it. I
think it is down to my lack of understanding about how exactly
itemRenderers work with respect to the set thingy... anyway... what
is happening is that when the date changed, it shoots off the
HTTPService as expected but the date field mysteriously shifts one
row down :'(

Items in queue won't download - not a simple one

I have 131 items in queue, but they won't even start downloading. When I check for purchases, I get the network times out connection contacting store messge.
However, Itunes diagnostics run clean. up until today, I was able to buy a new song, watch it download, then get the timeout message on my pending items. I get the same messge from my laptop. My home nework, I can rent movies on apple TV just fine.
ideas?

So here was the deal. Two things resulted in getting this fixed (not all items are fully downloaded yet, but at least things are queuing up and starting to download just fine).
1. I got hold of the Apple Support number 800-275-2273 via a nice Itunes Chat Agent. I got transferred to another entry drone working on Ipods, but at least got them to transfer me to a real human being that worked on Apple equipment.
I got this gentleman to open a case number for me, I DOCUMENTED THE CASE NUMBER, and he also gave me the corporate support line to call for escalation on the case to get a customer relations person (will not list that number here, go through the correct process first to get it just like I did).
I was also lucky enough to have Itunes loaded on both my laptop and my home PC. I scheduled an appointment at the local Apple store, and had THEM watch as my laptop, connected to the network AT the Apple Store with no firewall or anti-virus enabled, got the same network time-out message at their location. So much for local network problems crap read from a deficient script by an entry line support drone.
I had the apple store guy write out a repair number (they don't do case numbers) describing the situation. You have to own ANY type of apple product to do this (in my case it was an iphone). I then called the corporate line (get it from the dude who opens your case number from the 800 support line), got the corporate operator and asked for escalation on an existing case number.
After 10 minutes on hold, I got an EXCELLENT rep, had them add the repair order notes from the apple store dude to the case number. The Customer Relations person reviewed the data, got hold of an actual Itunes support person that works on Itunes while I was on the phone and got the ball rolling in minutes.
The guy cleared out my queue, but I still didn't get my purchases (message said all Itunes purchases were downloaded at this point, with NOTHING in queue).
I emailed a follow up the next morning to the Customer Relations person (alwasy ask for the name and email of the person you are dealing with, and log the date and time of the call!, and always reference your case number). I itemized the purchase numbers from my Itunes account purchase history that were stuck and never downloaded in the email, and followed up with another call referenceing the same case number.
At this moment, Itunes Tech Support is now adding things back in small batches that are queueing up and downloading just fine and dandy.
Moral of the story - FACT - Do not buy a bunch of seasons or a lot of episodes in quick succession - in my case, it was buying all the episodes for 4 seasons of Lost in about 5 minutes (130 some odd video items in queue). It evidently overwhelmed the Apple SERVER's ability to queue up that much crap on one ID at a time, and/or the local PC Itunes crapped out on trying to queue up that many video downloads all at once, hence the network timeout message (too short a setting on a timer on either the server or PC side or both I presume). It ain't my 16mb internet pipe (with approximately 16mb throughput, thanks), that's for sure.
If you are going to buy multiple seasons of a show, purchase 1 season, wait till the thing fully downloads, then buy the next one. Same goes with movies. I don't suggest purchasing a large number of movies all at once unless you want your queue jammed and it taking a month to break through the crust of entry level chat and email Itunes support drones reading from a script telling you that your local network is hosed when it ain't. These are call center reps reading from a script and are NOT technical, though you can get a good one occasionally.
Also BE POLITE when talking to the folks on the phone and have your crap together (i.e., run the Itunes diagonstics and verify that you can access all the Itunes network components). If that don't work, the problem IS most likely on your end on either the PC or the local network and the drones can help.
My problem was oddball in nature, it was the Itunes ACCOUNT that was hosed. If you've already downloaded crap and lost it, you are SOL, and this process does not apply. My stuff never got downloaded in the first place and the issue was breaking through the entry level crust to get someone to look at my Itunes Account rather than reading a script to tell my my local network and / or PC were hosed.
Finally, when you DO get good support, ask the agent for their manager's contact information and write them a great big thank you. That keeps the good folks employed, more motivated to help, and hopefully gives apple a way to keep the good folks and weed out the morons (e.g., those that start a chat session with you and then stop answering after saying hello, or Itunes email "support" that doesn't return emails).
I got 1 good chat person (out ot 2 attempts), and the email support person sent me a standard script and would not even reply, despite multiple attempts.
I POLITELY reported the good and the bad on my case number, and made darn sure that I'm following up with a thank you letter to the managers of the folks that helped me.
Many, Many Thanks to Lauri T in Customer Relations, Kevin in apple device support, and Patrick B on chat, and Josh in the mysterious and unreachable Tier 2 / Tier 3 Itunes Support group. You guys are nice, professional and way cool.
Thanks,
-Dan

My problem is too complex for a simple one-line question. Is there an upload facility where I can describe the problem in some detail?

My Problem with Word and Excel for Ms Office 2011
I work on a MacBook Pro (Mavericks, v.10.9.1) as an editor of a scholarly journal.
I regularly receive submissions as Ms Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, mostly created on Windows computers.
For the past 10 years I have been using Ms Office software for Mac without any problems to open and process these documents.
I have since 2012 been using Ms Office 2011 for Mac without without any problems.
About 10 days ago, I started getting error messages when trying to open Ms Word and Excel files, but I have no problems with opening and editing PowerPoint files.
Failed Clean Reinstallation Attempts
I completely removed all traces of Ms Office from every nook and cranny of my Mac, following the procedure “How to completely remove Office for Mac 2011” from the MS support website at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768, and then made a clean reinstallation of Ms Office 2011, followed by two recommended updates. The problem is back.
The Error Messages
When I click on an existing .DOC or .DOCX Word file I get the following error message:
(1)
"The Open XML file Normal-dotm cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents or the file might contain characters (for example, \ /)."
Details
No error detail available.
It then lists the name of the document that I was unable to open.
(2)
If I click on the image of a Blank page in the Word Document Gallery the following error message is displayed:
"Word cannot open the existing global template
(Normal.dotm)."
(3)
If I then click on OK, a blank document 1 opens up. When I type information and try to save it I again I get the error message:
This is not a valid file name. Try one or two of the following:
*Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly.
*Select a file from the list of files and folders.
Workaround Solution by Editing Ms Word Documents Via Pages
I can open the Word documents that Word cannot in My Mac’s Pages word processing program, and after editing, export them again in Ms Word format, but cannot open the in Ms Word for Mac to see if everything is alright. This is no way to work, using Ms Word.
Any suggestions how I can solve the problem, sort of buying Ms Office 2013 for Mac?
(By the way, I am writing this message in Mac’s Notes application).
<Edited by Host>

Rembrandt,
Did the two updates to Office 2011 get you to 14.3.9? That's the latest Mac version of Office.
I use Office 2013 and Mac Office 2011 on the same machine and have no problems opening any files shared between the two. You followed the instructions for uninstalling and updated your new installation correctly, I have to assume. It sounds as if there is a problem with your cuurent configuration but if it's not an update problem, or an installation problem, I can only direct you to the MS Office for Mac user community -> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac (sometimes you get lucky and get an actual MS employee answering your question).
Good luck,
Clinton

A simple one: Save function does not work when a client is trying to save a form on his desktop i cr

Hi, i have created a simple form in live cycle designer with just some fields the cleint can enter infomartion into.
when ever they then open the PDf to fill in the fields, they can never save it, it seems to be the case everytime i make a form in live cycle designer. the documnet has no security settings on, and i cannot find anywhere else to enable/disable saving the documnet.
Can anyone help?
thanks.

Ben,
You are half correct with your thinking. The problem is two fold. The basic Adobe Reader program will only allow a user to view a form in all reality. Yes you can fill it in and print it, but saving the completed form is not something Reader is allowed to do on its own. The exception to this is having a Reader Extended form. A reader extended form has been given additional rights that allows the basic version of reader to perform additional tasks, that normally require Adobe Acrobat to accomplish. In order to be able to save your completed form you will need to either open the form with Adobe Acrobat, or reader extend the form first if you are going to do the same thing with Reader.

I have a typical 720x480 sequence in final cut that i've exported as a quicktime movie. I put it in DVD studio pro 4, made a simple menu, but it never burns correctly. How do I burn a simple one video DVD that actually has reasonable quality?

I don't understand why burning DVDs has so many problems.

There are a number of tutorials that might help you.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/first_play_warmouth.html
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/basic_build_dvd_in_dvd_sp.html
DVD SP gives you a lot of control over the DVD authoring process. But with that, you also have the ability to make a lot of bad discs. iDVD will lead you down a narrow path. It will always make a disc that plays, but you have very little control or customization. If all you want to do is make a simple DVD that plays, then you might be better off with iDVD.

Hopefully a simple answer to a simple question

Can anyone advise me on the best way to clean my keyboard,please.

Yep, or windex sprayed directly on a cloth first, then wipe down the keyboard. So not spray the keyboard directly.
Unlike keyboard of old, newer keyboards are not as "washable" as they used to be. You will see suggestions for cleaning keyboards that you spilled your drink all over such as just running it through the dishwasher. With new tiny keyboards this doesn't work anymore because rather than one circuit board with the keys contacting the top surface, the new ones use thin plastic films with circuits printed on them and a few of these sandwiched together. One you get liquid between those layers, it is very difficult to get it to dry out and you end up with problems.
So if someone says, run it through the dishwasher, unless you are cleaning your 1992 IBM AT keyboard that you can club someone to death with, DON'T!

A simple one - two - three help

I am having trouble just getting out of the blocks, or getting started with this. I'm not proud of that but it's my situation. I find I can't move slides, am having trouble getting them in the program and on and on for folks that don't know what they're doing and need help.
All I want to do is present some family photos with music for a birthday on a DVD for playing at their home on their TV. If anyone knows of and can point me to help other than the regular help which is so heavy with all the many features of Keynote I would thank you so much. What I need is a simple just "getting started" 1-2-3 type procedure with some examples, I sure would appreciate it. Thanks a bunch, God bless.

Access-LIst a simple one

Hi All,
am I correct in asuming the following ACl
access-list inside_nonat_acl extended permit ip host 8.8.8.8 host 10.10.10.10
permits all ip traffic from 8.8.8.8 to 10.10.10.10? I'm a litle confused because of the nonat syntax in the acl name.
Thanks

Hi thanks for the reply,
I only have the .txt file so can't see if an interface has it applied. I dont understand what they have done as one line may have
allow 443 access to eg 10.10.10.10 from 4.4.4.4
then another line will have permit ip to from 4.4.4.4 to 10.10.10.10

Confused

Clipping mask issue.. simple one but I can't see it.

I want to fill the pattern into the shield.
Tried everything on this, it's so simple that I can not even see it.
Maybe it's the double lines on outline view?
Please help. Multi million dollar idea going to waste.

Kanokane,
I tried to just give a detailed list of things to do, with no explanation.
Fundamentally, you use a single path (which may be a Compound Path) as the Clipping Path of the Clipping Mask, and you select both that and whatever you have beneath it that you wish to clip.
When you apply the Clipping Mask, everything covered by the Clipping Path remains visible, and everything else becomes invisible; and the Clipping Path also becomes invisible, losing its Stroke and/or Fill (Fill in this case).
So when your shield is a rather thin Compound Path formed by the outer and the inner path, only the parts between those become visible, instead of filling the space inside.
1) is meant to keep the visible black outline formed by the Compound Path on top of everything else, and to bring a copy of either the outer or the inner path down beneath it; this is to serve as the Clipping Path; Alt/OptionClicking is to select the whole path, not just an Anchor Point or a segment.
2) is meant to bring the pattern down beneath the Clipping Path.
3) is meant to preserve the visible black outline formed by the Compound Path (by locking it) and to select the Clipping Path and the pattern (when the Compound Path is locked, you can just ClickDrag over everything and avoid selecting it), then apply the Clipping Mask.
4) is meant to have everything as a Group (consisting of the Compound Path and the Clipping Mask).
Whether you use the inner or outer path as the Clipping Path matters little; in the former case only the space inside the black rim is visible, in the latter case, the outermost part of it is hidden be the rim.
