How can I make a copy of my book project?

I made a book for myself with photos from our summer holidays. Now I want to make a slightly different version for my mum, with more photos of HER in it. So I wanted to make a copy of my book album, so I can have one version that's the book I made for me and another which is the alternative version for my mum.
How the heck do I do that though? I can't burn the book album to CD, I can't duplicated the whole folder, and I can't even figure out how to copy all the photos I've used into another folder so I can redo the book layout stuff.
I really don't want to have to go through all the five hundred photos we took this summer and start from scratch...

You want to do both in your copy of iPhoto, right?
Right/control click on the book project and select duplicate and edit the duplicate (book not the folder since the book is more or less how you want it).
The photos in the book folder are not actual photos, just aliases to the one copy you store in the iPhoto directory, so make a copy of the book and edit that.
None of the albums in iPhoto are the actual photos. You can make ten albums and put say, 100 identical photos in each one, and the size of the overall iPhoto library doesn't go up. They are just pictures of the photos if that makes sense. If you delete the album, the album is gone but in the library the photos are still all there.

How can I make printed copy of photo CD

I have a folder of images that I will burn to CD. How can I make a printed copy of those images with text to file with the CD?
imac g5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You can print a contact sheet with titles in iPhoto 6. I searched the iPhoto 5 forum and found a workaround from Ken.
" Instead of Print, Contact Sheet use Share, Export, Web Page. .The "contact sheet" will be the thumbnails so be sure to select the Show title and Show comment boxes. Create a webpage, open it in your browser and print from there."
And more detailed directions from Elizabeth Kley:
"Creating Contact Sheet with Titles
1 - Put the files you want to print in an album and arrange in the order you'd like.
2 - Go to the File->Export->Web Page menu option.
3 - While in the Web page window, select the number of thumbnails you'd like across each page (iPhoto will keep you informed on how many pages it will take).
4 - Click on Show Title under thumbnails and click on Export. Then select the location where you'd like the resulting files to be saved (create a temporary folder to contain them).
5 - Once saved, go the folder and open the index.html file with your browser. You will get a page with your thumbnails and titles beneath them.
6 - Print that browser page and you've got your contact sheet with file names (or comments if desired). "
Is this what you had in mind?

How can I make a COPY/duplicate of an Event in iPhoto11

I need to make a copy of an 'event' I have in iPhoto on iMac. I want the original event in tacked; I want to remove photos on the COPY.
Thanks - Jose

You can't, really. You could export the photos from iPhoto, then import them as a new event, but that would be pointless.
Why not just export from the Event? It won't remove the photos from iPhoto you know?
File -> Export

How can I make a copy of the FAQs module or filter on language?

Hi,
is it possible to make a copy of the FAQs module? I need to have FAQs in different languages.
I can add event, photo, news ands media modules but not a new FAQs module.
I also found that you can add a category and display the FAQs with the filter: cr or individual filter. But where do I add the category name to filter on?

Solved!
Quick solution: the ID is used for the category name, so I need to do a time consuming process to find the id.
Result:
{module_faq,c,19227,,ajax,}
Great!

Once iDVD has been used to create a DVD, how can I make another copy?

This may be a rookie question, but because of my bad history with computers, I generally don't like to use too much of my hard drive. I have a lot of family videos in iMovie now, and I want to be able to make a DVD and delete the originals from my hard drive. I also want to be able to make another copy of the DVD later.
Is there a way to do that with just the Mac or is something else needed...since it seems that I am essentially burning DVDs?

If you do a 'Save As Disk Image' from within your iDVD project when you have finished it, you will be making a disk image file for that project. Disk image files are self-contained, thus all the media information is encoded into the disk image file. You can then safely delete all the photos, movies, music files that were used to create your iDVD project and still retain the ability to burn more DVDs of that project in the future.
You use Disk Utility to burn more copies.
I save disk image files for all of my iDVD projects and place those files on a large external hard drive.

How can I make multiple quizzes within one Captivate project?

Hi guys! Really liking Captivate 5.5, especially the way random question slides can lift questions out of a question pool...very elegant!
Sadly though, I've come up against a bit of a wall. In my project, I want to have 3 separate quizzes that all use the same question pool; a 10, 30 and 50 question-long quiz. Each one needs to have its own results page.
It's easy enough to see what I mean by looking at the screenshot below:
The idea was to have about 105 slides in total, with slides 10 - 20 being the 10 quiz slide, 21 - 51 being the 30 question quiz and 52 - 102 being the 50 question quiz.
There are three invisible buttons placed over those 10, 30, 50 text boxes. In the picture, the '10 question' button would jump to slide 10, the '30 question' button would jump to slide 21, and the '50 question' button would jump to slide 52, jumping the user to the start of their designated tests.
Though I can create the 10 random question "block" easy enough, when it comes to adding the 30 question "block" it just adds the new random questions to the existing random questions. I want three separate quizzes, each with their own results screens please. (I don't want to daisy-chain to external projects, because the results of each test need to be used within the homepage.)
It just adds them on to the existing block!! Argh!!
Little bit ticked off with Adobe...the reason their products are so incredible is because they put no constraints on the user, and you can use their tools to create things even the developers never dreamed of. Like in Photoshop for example, I bet when the dropshadow fx was created, the developers never realised that it would be used to give a metallic 'stamped' look to text by turning it to white and applying it just inside the text.
Captivate, though amazing most of the time, has a nasty habit of stomping on my toes. You can't set grade boundaries and have quizzes give out grades A+ to F- for example. You can only have 'pass' and 'fail', thus making it rather pointless for use in schools, contrary to how the program is advertised. Another example would be when I wanted to create a replay button. I thought that a button that jumped to the slide it was on would be a simple, no-BS replay button, but for some reason you can't make a button jump to its current slide. I downloaded a widget that worked in the end, but I wish Adobe would get off my back and let me do what I want!
Anyway, if you could help me out here it would be grand

I must say I have a little sympathy for the Captivate developers on this occasion. As you say, they've created an application that does so much, that when you eventually run into a hard boundary of some kind, the effect is somewhat jarring. However, every application, no matter how good, has limits. I'm probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to asking the Adobe Captivate Development Team for enhancements (I think I've logged over 70 enhancement requests for Captivate 6 alone).
In your case, you want to have three different quizzes in one project file, each with it's own separate Quiz Results page. Lilybiri's blog explains how to set up your own faux Quiz Results pages using system variables and custom user variables, but you're going to find this to be quite a lot of trouble. Even if YOU want to consider these as three separate quizzes, as far as Captivate is concerned they're just one big quiz with 50 questions. So Captivate will calculate it's internal results based on a 50 question quiz, even if your users select the 10 question version. So achieving a final Pass/Fail result is going to be problematic at best.
As Lilybiri suggested, your better strategy would be to break this up into separate modules so that you can get your three separate quiz results (all done in standard Captivate) as well as correct results based on the actual number of questions done by the user.
As far as grades A-F is concerned, there's nothing to stop you from using Advanced Actions and User Variables to calculate the user's score as a grade. You need a user variable that stores the user's grade (e.g. var_Grade). And you need a fairly complex Conditional Advanced Action (e.g. caa_CalculateGrade) with several clauses each of which goes something like:
If
cpQuizInfoPointsscored is lesser or equal to [highest score for a particular grade]
AND
greater or equal to [lowest score for a particular grade]
Actions
Assign var_Grade with [the appropriate grade for that range of scores]
Your conditional action will need one of these clauses for each separate grade. Once your variable has been assigned a grade based on the user's score, you can display it in a text caption somewhere on the quiz results page or on a slide thereafter with suitable commendations/ commiserations.

Can I make a Copy of Address Book?

Hi,
I really like Address Book. I have a group of children that I'd like to make a list of. They are all part of a program that was formed back in 1992. Our club has recruited about 1300 since then and I would like to make use of Address Book as a way to track and record them. I have a directory in a Word category, but it doesn't work the way Address Book does, and is difficult to use sometimes. The notes section of Address Book where a majority of data would obviously be placed, would also be a great way to keep contact with them if we have any activity that may interest them.
My questions are:
1. Can a copy of Address Book be made so that I can have Address Book #1 which I currently use, and then #2 for the children in the program?
2. If this can be done, would I be able to keep a separate mail program to track correspondence?
Thank you for any help!

For the Address Book, you can simply create a Group for your club. Click the + sign in the bottom left corner, and create two (or more Groups). You may want one for your club, one for your personal contacts. When you click on that Group, you will see only those contacts. This is your best bet if you want to stick with Address Book for this.
If you want two truly separate address books, that is more difficult to manage. You can have a personal address book, and use File > Back up Address Book to save that as an archive. Then delete those entries and put your club members in. Then use File > Back up Address Book again to create an archive of that book (give it a different name!!). To switch between books, use the File > Revert to Address Book Backup command to load the other book. You will need to re-back up each book every time you make a change to it else the changes will be lost. That's why you're better off using the Groups - that's what they're for!
As for Mail, again, separate programs are not the best solution. You can set up a different email account specific for your club emails (with your ISP, gmail, whatever) and different User Profiles in Mail for your personal email account and your club email account. If you are going to use only one email account, you can set create a folder in Mail to store your club emails, and you may consider a filter to sort replies from those 1300 people into a folder automatically.
Hope this helps...

How can I make a copy of a song, change the album cover of the copy, but have the original stay the same?

So, this is going to take some time to explain, but I'm going to try it.
I'm trying to build a compilation playlist with songs from other albums. I want to change the name of the album in the info of the song and the cover for the new playlist. When I do this, the original copy changes as well. I don't want this to happen. Is it possible to avoid this?

Frankly I would just make your album a playlist and live with the original album names in the individual items.
If you really want to name them individually you will have to make copies of the files and add them a second time to iTunes. One easy way to do this is drag the tracks you want to a different drive (it could just be a flash drive). It will make copies of the files on that other drive. Now drag them back to an empty playlist window. That way you will be able to keep them separate from the original track until you can rename them. In dragging back to iTunes it will put a copy in the iTunes folders so you will end up with two copies of the files, the second one for editing.

How can I make a photo from two merged projects available for a book that I started using one project ? They merge but the book only allows me to access the original project photos even though the merged photos can be seen in the project ?

I have successfully merged two projects in order to add new photos for my book. The library available to the book which has 26 completed pages accesses only the original project library. Has anyone else had this problem ? It is frustrating to see the photos I want in the merged project file, but to have only the original photos when I started the book available in the book library.

That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums. Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image. You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example). You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
The easy way 'round:
- Make a new Book Album
- Select Images you may want to put in your Book. Flag them.
- Select some more. Flag them.
- Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
- Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key. This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication. The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself. The Book Album also holds the Book.
A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
The User Manual is helpful. Here is
the chapter on making Books.
From that chapter, here is
the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

How can I make groups on my address book?

I have an iphone 5c. I am trying to make a group in my address book. I need to be able to send a message to a group but have the members of the group respond to me only. At this point, every message I send to them is getting read by them but then they send a response to the entire group. It's annoying when not all the members need to hear what is being said.

FYI - this is the Using iPhone > Mail discussions group.
At the Address Book menu bar, go to File > Export and select Address Book Archive.
Transfer the exported Address Book Archive file to your new Mac.
At the Address Book menu bar on your new Mac, go to File > Import and select the Address Book Archive file that was exported from your other Mac.

How can I make a second copy so I can make some changes, but lose the original document?

How can I make a copy of my new pdf convert to word document without losing the original document?

Hi mariponce,
Is it the Word document that you want to make a copy of, or the PDF? In either case, you can choose File > Save As (in the appropriate application), and give the file a new name. For example, if you have a file named "HappyTimes.docx," you could choose File > Save As, and name the file "HappyTimes2.docx." Then, you'll have two Word files, and you can edit one and leave the other intact.
Best,
Sara

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.
