How Can I Keep Photo Data When Adding Photo To New Book?

All of my photos in IPhoto have dates and descriptions as part of the file names. When I transfer then to make a book, all of this data goes away. Is there any way I can keep this data as a description of the photo.

Where are you transferring the file to and how? As long as you use iPhoto the title and description remain associated with the photos. Are you referring to the title and having the title show on the book's page along with the photo? There is just one theme that displays the title: Folio
The only way to get the description to display is to change the title to what you put in the Information/Description field. That can be done automatically with the Applescript described in my post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5400478&#5400478

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.

How can you keep your songs when you get a new computer?

is it possible to bring music from your old computer to your new one? because i just bought a new mac and i want to get rid of the old one, but i have all my music on there and it would take forever to get it all on by CD and by buying on iTunes.

Any chance you have an iPod? ...

If not, then how about an external hard drive? They are very cheap these days and well worth it for backing up your iTunes and your Mac. You can buy or put together models that are, for example, in the 160-250GB range for under $100 easily.

In iCloud preferences when I deselect an item, e.g. documents I get a message saying the info in documents will be taken off my mac and kept in iCloud. I would rather have in on my mac and not in iCloud. How can I keep my data?

Macbook pro, os 9.4.1.
In iCloud preferences when I deselect an item, e.g. documents I get a message saying the info in documents will be taken off my mac and kept in iCloud. I would rather have the info on my mac and not in iCloud. How can I keep my data on my mac?

My mistake, my OS is 10.9.4.
Thank you for your reply.
I guess, I really don't understand iCloud and how files are stored and where. I gather when I was asked to set it up I should have declined. Anyway, it looks like some of my files are stored in the cloud. If I shut off "documents" in the preferences it will remove those docs from my macbook, but they will remain in the cloud and I could get access to them for another computer if I set it up.
I also gather to avoid this, I have to, on a file by file basis, save them to my mac and then they will be on my mac. What I don't get, is that these files must exist on my mac because I can edit it without being connected to the internet. Maybe those files I see when disconnected from the internet are on my mac and I wouldn't be able to see cloud files unless I was connected to the internet.
My concern is that when I deselect "documents" in the iCloud preferences it warns me that those documents on my mac will be removed from my mac. I am afraid to deselect "documents' or "calendars" as a result.
If I seem confused, I am. Please don't feel obligated to reply if my message is too muddled.

How can I keep my keywords when I export my pictures to a disc

How can I keep my keywords when I export my pictures to a burn disc. i am working in iphoto 8

margj
The keywords are written to the IPTC data of the file. The Finder doesn't read this but other photo apps will.
If you want to confirm the keywords, examine the pics with Graphic Coverter.
What are you trying to do here? Back up your Library?

HI, I need your help. How can I delete all data, when I do not have the special security code, which I didn´t remember ? I also think, that I never create this code before. But I cannot put my settings back.

You must remember the code, if you can't then take the phone and proof of purchase to an Apple Store.

How can I keep the formatting when converting from Word to pages?

How can I keep the formatting when converting from Word to pages?

Use only formatting that is supported (in the same manner) in both applications. You'll need to find which that is through trial and error. Beyond those formatting options, you'll need to do some corrections, as Fruhulda suggests.

How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

You don't have to keep your photos in iPhoto to sync to your iPod according to Apple's website which states you can sync from folders in other locations:
"Syncing Photos from a Mac
To sync photos from iPhoto or a folder on your Mac:
1. Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
2. Select your iPod in the DEVICES section of the iTunes Source list.
3. In the main iTunes browser window, select the Photos tab.
4. Select the checkbox labeled "Sync photos from" and then choose either iPhoto, Aperture, Choose Folder, or Pictures, from the menu.
* If you choose iPhoto, select "All photos and albums" to copy all of your photos in iPhoto, or "Selected albums only" and select individual rolls or albums you want to include.
* If you choose Choose Folder, navigate to and select the folder of photos you want, then click Choose. Select "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
* If you choose Pictures, choose "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
5. If you want iTunes to also include the full-resolution versions of your photos, select the "Include full-resolution photos" checkbox. To access full-size photo files, be sure to enable your iPod for disk use.)
6. Once you have decided which photos you'd like to sync, click Apply."
Hope this helps!

How can I keep cursor stable when moving X scroll?

Dear All,
How can I keep cursor stable in the graph when moving X scroll?
Normally, the cursor is moving while moving X scroll, because the X scroll changes.
Thank you!

Hi Hugo,
the cursor has it's x- and y-coordinate. If you move the x scroll-bar, the cursor moves too.
To avoid this you have to move the cursor with the x scroll bar. To do so you have to get the cursor position and the x-scale min/max before movement. While movement you have to calculate a new cursor position relativ to the new x-scale and set the cursor accordingly. (Problems may arise if the cursor is connected to a plot...)
That's what property nodes are used for!

How can I keep tracks playing when I'm browsing?

There must be an obvious answer to this question, but I don't know what it is.
If I'm playing an album, but then start to browse somewhere else (as one would do if listening to a CD), the music will stop after the track has finished, and not go on to the next track. (because the tracks are no longer in the browser window)
How can I keep playing what I want, in the order that I want, while I am browsing other music?
Thanks

I find this to be a problem as well, especially since I know I was able to work with iTunes this way before I installed iTunes 7.3?
I'm reading some other posts which suggest that being able to play tracks from an library subset (genre, album, artist) AND browse other playlists at the same time was never a feature of iTunes.
Since I know I'm not imagining that I used to use iTunes quite happily, I'm wondering is there an option in 7.3 that I'm not paying attention to?
It seems crazy not to be able to do this.

How do i avoid duplicate data when synching iphone and mac book to the cloud?

When I left my job for the last time I uploaded my Microsoft Outlook Contacts to the Cloud so that I could synch it with my Iphone (which I did). Now I would like to also synch the Address Book on my Macbook with the Cloud and my Iphone so I can integrated all of these contacts. First I do not know if I can do this since my MACbook is a few years old aand I do not see the Cloud Icon anywhere on it. Second of all I am not sure which area (Cloud, Iphone, or Macbook) take precedence when synching. Can I lose data? Does one systems dat over ride the other? How can I avoid duplicate data? I am a fairly new Mac user and love the way things are integrated so I think I should not worry but I need help. thanks, tdag55

Hi meadowD,
If you are looking to remove duplicate files from iTunes, you may find the following article useful (in the most recent versions of iTunes 11, the Display/Show Duplicate Items option has been moved to the View menu):

How can I maintain sorted data when I cut and paste?

I work almost exclusively with .csv files that I download from the local multi-list service (I'm a real estate agent). I can sort and chart data on the multi-list website but the interface for Apple users is pretty bad (Citrix client running through a gateway). I was looking forward to being able to download and manipulate data on my iBook as well as be able to present it to clients in a polished and professional manner. As far as I am concerned Numbers seems like a Beta at this point. I have sent in feedback and realize that I will never receive a reply from doing so. I really want to like this program but right now I just want to run my iBook over with my truck. Any help will be much appreciated.
I have three Numbers windows open. One is labeled "Sold" (20 columns, 693 rows+1 header), one is labeled "WE" (20 columns, 679 rows+1 header) and one is an untitled template (20 columns, 1 header). When I sort the data in "Sold" and "WE" to the parameters I need I end up with 18 rows in "Sold" and 22 rows in "WE". My goal is to take the sorted data and paste it into the untitled template.
I select the 18 rows in "Sold" and then select copy (this takes 25.65 seconds BTW!!!). I go to the untitled template and then paste (20.86 seconds). Numbers pastes the entire 693 rows from "Sold" into the untitled template.
I have tried to choose rows. I have tried to choose columns. I have selected individual cells and I have also tried to "select all cells". Each time I get a different result on what gets pasted into the untitled template. I have also tried "paste", "paste and match style" and "paste values" each time getting anything but what I need (the 18 sorted rows).
Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi,
you should probablu describe better your actual situation:
Is the form handler servlet a part of your portal web application?
Seems like yes, if you use getContextPath() :-)
then the form handler servlet should be able access the same session object
through
request.getSession()
If this is not the case, than you could get the session id at the time when
you create the form (in your portlet jsp file) and pass it as request
parameter to the form handler servlet.
That form handler servlet can return it later ...
By the way - the session id is contained in the session cookie, that the
browser sends everytime to the server in the requests. So when it hits the
".../application..." url, the server should automatically recognize to which
session it belongs...

Hello All,
I am submitting to a form from a portlet.
This formhandler is outside of the portal framework.
Once I am done with form data processing, I need to come back into theportal.
For this, I am sending a redirect request :
response.sendRedirect(
request.getContextPath()
+ "/application?" +"origin=FillMeta.jsp"+"&event=bea.portal.framework.internal.portlet.event"
+"&wfevent=fileuploaded" +"&pageid=home"
+"&portletid=FillMeta"
However, I am not able to pass the sessionid in sendRedirect.
How could I pass the sessionid using sendRedirect?
Would greatly appreciate your inputs or suggestions.
Thanks.

How can you Keep column links when using export CVS

I am exporting a report using Report Template of export: CVS. This report is a copy of a report that have column links that work. However, when I export the report using export: CVS the excel file no longer has the links in the columns.
How can I get the link to be transferred to excel?
Thanks

446336,
When you export anything as CSV type it is a plain ordinary text file - MS Excel opens it because it has knowledge of this type of file (ie text delimited by comma/tab).
You seem to need a bit more than that - best if you search the forum for ¨excel¨ or maybe ¨report exports¨. I believe there are some threads here that may help - I think it needs java or some fancy PL/SQL to do it.

Thanks for your adivse. reg 2), how do I hack my apple TV?
Not really something that can be discussed here in detail.
Did you have Time Machine running? If so you may be able to pull back iTunes files.
what is SSH? please adivse.
If you don't know I think hacking might prove daunting for you.
I've not hacked my AppleTVs so can't offer advice one way or another but I suggest you do not update your AppleTV to 2.2 yet, and you must not sync AppleTV to a new itunes library or it'll trash the exisiting content.
Google 'AwkwardTV' and 'AppleTV hacks'.
Personally I'd say that your safest option is probably to dismantle the AppleTV and connect the internal drive to a Mac via a USB or Firewire enclosure then manually track down the files - copy them only and don't alter anything on the drive. This would of course void any warranty - depends how important that stuff on AppleTV is.
It also emphasises the importance of backing up stuff regularly though in practice we may not do so as often as we'd like.
It also highlights two things:
1 - There really should be a method of accessing stuff from AppleTV by manual drag and drop. I really don't understand why they don't implement it as your kind of issue is very frequent and you'd really thank Apple if that feature were available.
2 - Currently AppleTV must not be regarded as external storage or a backup copy of iTunes files/photos. It is not designed to be a backup but with a little software enablement it could clearly to this. I suspect connection via USB would be frowned upon as people might try and access system files, but a 'rescue mode' via iTunes perhaps accessed via the diagnostics/system restore/reboot menu would be ideal.
