How can I organize events in iMovie by subject, rather than date or storage device?

iMovie wants to organize events by either date or storage device. I would like to organize them by subject, regardless of date. Can this be done? And how? Thanks.

You can do this for Projects, but not for Events.
For organizing clips in Events, you might want to consider the Keyword feature, but it is not exactly what you are asking for.
Here is a video of the Keyword feature in iMovie 08. If you have iMovie 09 or 11, the basics are the same, but the feature has been enhanced. See Help for details.

How can I get just the text to resize, rather than the entire web page?

I used to be able to re-size just text on a webpage by typing Ctrl + +. Today, the entire webpage re-sizes, and when I move to another page it reverts. (I see this mostly in Facebook.). Why did this change, and can I go back to having just the text re-size?

How can I delete the duplicates in one go, rather than individually?I consoladated my iTunes library looking for a song I bought...my whole library is now duplicated. Thousands of songs and hundredes of podcasts.

I consolidated my iTunes library and now I have duplicates of everything, podcasts, songs, play lists...everything. How can I delete the whole set of duplicates at once. It is thousands of items I can not do them indiviually.
Thanks

How can I convert an iphoto to a file rather than a picture?

I have several friends who would rather get my email with a file attached rather than photos? How can I do this with Iphoto?

Try this: in Mail's Composing preference pane set the format of the emails to plain text. Then once the photos are in the email Control-click on them and select "Show as icon" in the contextual menu.
That might let them see the photos as icons/attachments rather the view the photos. A lot depends on how they have their email client setup.
The sure fire way is to zip/compress the photos and adding the zipped file to the email.
The recipient will have to unzip the file at the other end to get the image files.

When printing, how can I spool/process on the printer itself, rather than process the job in Illustrator?

Is this related to setting up a PPD?
We are using an HP Designjet T7100 plotter to print out large wall maps (108"x108") with incredible amounts of detail (about 30 layers, with varying transparency, and everything from mid-sized polygons and lines to thousands of points). It's an enormous job, I know, but certainly possible. The workflow involves creating EPS layers, and running them through Distiller to create PDFs which are obviously the map layers.
In the past, we have been successful in printing out high-resolution maps. We are now experiencing "Out of Memory" errors if we try to print from InDesign, and Illustrator takes well near an hour to process a map.
This morning, we printed a 42x60 map in low-res - the map printed successfully, albeit in about 20 mins. After printing, I went to the plotter, selected the job from the front panel, and re-printed it from there. It took 30 seconds to print.
Obviously, the job was already processed on the plotter and that made printing easier. My question is, is there a way to get the plotter to process jobs rather than Illustrator? How can I set spooling to be handled directly by the printer? Illustrator is using 2GB of memory just to process jobs - absolutely ridiculous.
I appreciate any feedback! Hopefully from Adobe
Thanks,

EDIT: I also wonder if this is a network issue?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @kmmo
I read your post about how you are trying to cancel a print job from the printer. I would like to know if you see an "X" on the printer display screen while the print job is in progress, and if so, try pressing the "X" and that should cancel the job.
Let me know your findings

Pre-order shipment for new IPhone 5 pushed back to 10/5. How can I go to store and pick up rather than wait?

I pre-ordered shipment of the IPhone 5's 9/14 like many others, and now it pushed back to 10/5. How can I go to store and pick up at upgrade rate rather than paying full price?

Thanks for the thought... ordered direct from Apple. I'm on AT&T, so I called them to work through their network. They said they couldn't help me until I cancelled my orders through Apple. Talked to an Apple store rep, and they said they had a customer that tried that - cancelled orders, then drove to store only to find they were not eligible for an upgrade. She called AT&T, and they had no solution, and said that sometimes it takes 48 to 72 hours for the system to reinstate upgrade eligibility.....I would have originally ordered from AT&T, but couldn't get into their website, so ordered through Apple - mistake.

How can I export events in imovie.

I would like to put separate events onto disk without starting a project. This is so i can send footage to my mate to allow him to edit as he sees fit. As far as i can tell once the project dvd has been burned there is no way of accessing the individual events. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Here's a link to the Apple Help Page in Imovie that should put you in the right direction.....See the very bottom about moving it to another computer.

How do I have a calendar event schedule to the day rather than date - like the third Tuesday instead of the 17th?

I'm trying to schedule a regular event on the third Tuesday of every month, and can't seem to find a way to do that.

Unfortuneately, there's no way to do that directly on iOS Calendar, which has fairly limited functionality. It can be done on computer calendar apps such as iCal or Outlook and synced to your Calendar on the phone.

How can I have mozilla firefox start at bootup, rather than having to click on the desktop icon to get it running?

I do the usual turn on and bootup of the computer. Then I have to click on Firefox, and wait.
Is there a way to add firefox to the bootup in msconfig? I couldn't figure out how.
I am not a blond, but have white hair.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

How can I get synched audio through the computer rather than camera in FCE?

There does not seem to be an easy way to listen to FCE audio through the computer's setup for internal or external speakers. I have for years used Detour to route all of my audio through an M-Audio Firewire 410 interface, and then on to my home stereo system. I then route all systems sounds and sounds in apps like iMail through the internal speaker. This works great. Except with Final Cut Express. For quite a while I could not do anything except play through a firewire connected to an attached Sony PC100 digital video camera, plugging headphones into it's jack.
After many hours and reading many strings on this and other discussion boards, and even reading the product manual, I tried sending FCE through the computer speaker and sure enough it works. By that reasoning, I had Sound Prefs send all audio through the m-Audio setup and that works. Except now I must listen to all of the system sounds that way as well.
OK, I could live with that for my editing sessions, except that now I am experiencing a sound synch delay of around one second. It's all fine when I switch back to the camera as the monitor, but not when routed through, what should be the better sound setup, having the comouter send the soud via the m-audio and stereo.
G5 dual 2Mgz Mac OS X (10.4.5) m-audio firewire 410; 1.5G DDR SRAM;

In final cut, you want the audio to be following the same path as the video - otherwise, as you have experienced, there are processing delays.
If you are sending your video out firewire to an external monitor, the audio should follow. Take the audio off of the A/DV converter and route it to your speakers (or amp & speakers) from there.
good luck.

How can I get my emails to send again rather than sitting in my outbox

My emails used to send automatically now they get stuck in the outbox and I haven't changed anything unless the update has affected my phone somehow.

The update erased your user ID and password from the outgoing (SMTP) mail server. You need to go enter them again (even though it may say "optional").

How can I keep incoming messages in chronological order, rather than having them grouped together by sender's name?

After I open a message, when I next refer to my inbox I find that it has been grouped with other messages, either by sender's name or by subject line. As far as I am aware I did not ask for this and want messages to remain in my inbox in the chronological order in which they are received.

Click on the column header labeled DATE to sort by date. Click the same header a second time to reverse the sort order.

How can I organize my photos in icloud by album as on my Mac? And, not just Collections/Events/Year?

How can I organize my photos in icloud by album as they are on my Mac in iphoto? I want to see more than just a sort by Collection/Event/year.

You'll need to wait for all these things to come out to beta testing for that kind if detailed help. But at the moment it seems that you make the Albums in your Photos.app on the Mac or iOS device and these then turn up on the Library in the Cloud. I can see no way to create albums in a web browser, and iPhoto doesn't communicate with the Library.

How can I view my photos in "Events" like in iPhoto? How can I create events? I have 55,000 photos and 1700 events so the only way I can possibly manage my photos is using events that are one slide in size.

I have 55,000 images organized into about 1700 events. The only reasonable way to view my library is using events in iPhoto where each event has one image That still leaves 1700 images to sort through but that is a lot easier than 55,000 images. In the side bar is a folder with "iPhoto Events" but those views still show all of the slides. How can I create events and view my photos as events as in iPhoto? Events are critical for large libraries and has been my primary way to sort images.
Thanks!

I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

How can two users work on iMovie? My husband is working on a memorial video for a family member who passed, I plan to edit but he had to take his computer to work. I have the iMovie project on a zip drive. How do I get it to open in my imovie?

You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.
