How do I deal with approximate dates for pictures in Aperture?

I am scanning old slides for Aperture. The slides are numbered, film number and frame number within film, so the sequence is determined, but many do not have an exact date. They may have the month, or a range of possible dates derived from the closest previous and next dated slide. Aperture seems to require an exact date and I cannot find a way round this problem from Help. This must be a relatively frequent problem, so can anyone please suggest a solution?

The date+time stamp is exact.
You have at least two options.
Assign a "close-enough" date+time, and encode it so that you know at a glance that it is assigned.  My suggestions is to specify as much as you can, and use ones for all unknown specifics.  So if you know the year and the month, but no more, the date+time is YYYY MM 11 11:11:11.
There are two problems with this approach.  First, there is no way to know whether the first "1's" encountered are specific, or are placeholders indicating "unknown".  The second possible problem with the approach is that it may not present information you may want, which is the range of possible date+times.  For that to work, you must use different metadata to encode the date and time information.  If that information is important, I suggest setting up a series of keywords, or use text in a custom metadata field.
You could, of course, combine the two approaches: assign the date+time as best you can, and then include a note in a custom metadata field that describes what you know of the actual date+time of the Image.
Note that Aperture allows you to change the _relative_ date, and does not allow (afaik) you to assign a _specific_ date.  For your work, you might find it best to use ExifTool to change the date+time in each file prior to importing into Aperture.

  • How Oracle to deal with the data lose?-----QNo.104

    In incomplete recovery,some data will be lost. How Oracle to deal with it?
    For example, at 9:00am, you find that it is a mistake to drop a user(you dropped it at 8:30am). But other users' transactions are in progress. A lot of data is input between 8:30 and 9:00. If decide to make a incomplete recovery, does this means all the data input between 8:30 and 9:00 will be lost?

    For example, at 9:00am, you find that it is a mistake to drop a user(you dropped it at 8:30am. But the transactions are in progress. To make you clear, you can't drop the user while session connected to this schema.
    I dont think that you would loose any data.
    The other workaround for this issue would be,
    I would clone this on other server just before the user dropped, take the export and then import the user in the production.
    Is this satisfy your question?

  • XmlDataProvider .... is gone completely in my Xaml file. Why? How many different ways to deal with xml data source through WPF

    I followed a procedure described in a book.
    1. insert "Inventory.xml" file to a project "WpfXmlDataBinding" .
    2. add the XML data source through the data panel of "blend for 2013", named it "InventoryXmlDataStore" and store it in the current document.
    3. dragged and droppped the nodes from the Data panel onto the artboard.
    Then I checked my Xaml file against the one provided by the book
    Xaml file by the book:
    <Window.Resources>
    <!-- This part is missing in my xaml file --><XmlDataProvider x:Key="InventoryDataSource"
    Source="\Inventory.xml"

    Never do yourself down Richard.

    It's quite common for smart developers to think they're not as good as they are.
    I coach a fair bit and it's a surprisingly common feeling.
    And to repeat.
    Never use anything ends .. provider.  They're for trivial demo apps.  Transform xml into objects and use them.  Write it back as xml.  Preferably, use a database.

  • How do I deal with JPEGs of wildly various sizes for my HD Project?

    My project comprises HD DVCPRO Interviews.  Within those Interviews I'm trying to integrate JPEGs that were given to me on an external drive, but their Frame Sizes vary from 159x180 to 12648x9575 !  How do I deal with a 4584x5928 .peg for instance?  Does anybody have any idea?  I tried MPEG Streamclip_Export Frame_720x480 and it comes out crushed horizontally.  What dimensions would you recommend? Thank you very much for any suggestion.

    When you add the anything to the timeline, they "adopt" the sequence settings.  The clips themselves won't change at all...but when added to the timeline, they "render" to the sequence settings. So the stills will remain with the dimensions they have, but when rendered, the portion you added to the timeline will adopt the timeline settings.
    No need to buy Photoshop. PREVIEW is free, part of the apps that come with your computer, and can resize any picture file.  No need to get GIMP. 
    Yes, resize all stills to under 4000 pixels BEFORE you import. FCP will have issues with anything over 4000 pixels. 
    >2)  How do you calculate the other Dimension to go with 3800?
    No idea what you mean.  Just use Preview...in the TOOLS menu use ADJUST SIZE, and make sure that the SCALE PROPORTIONATLY is checked and when you adjust one number, the other will scale to maintain the same dimensions.

  • How does your entity, or entities you have worked with, manage data for their dev/quality/cert environments?

    Background- We have development and certificiation environments for SAP changes. These environments are kept in sync by ensuring that we adhere to a progression for configuration changes- they always move thru the same dev, quality, ceritfication, production process with testing at each phase.
    As a business user, a challenge I encounter is having production type data available in the dev/qual/cert environments so that I can adequately test changes.  We refresh our environments periodically to a copy of production, including data.  After the refresh, no new data goes to these environments, only test data as entered by individual users and testers.  This means that tests performed soon after a refresh have a lot of relevent production data to use for testing, but as we move further thru the year, the data is less and less avialable and less relevant.
    Some of our changes are impacted by volume, but due to how we handle our environments, volume impacts are difficult to test or asess.
    How do you manage production-like data for your dev/qual/cert environments? Do you encounter this same issue or have you found a solution?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for your comments, it is clear you understand my plight.  The trouble is fully understanding what Apps and App Features are transferring data in the background any time you happen to turn WiFi to on (even if you have had it off most of the day or night).  Obviously things like Location Services can constantly be sending and receiving data from my iPhone without any action on my part.  Also if you have things like photo backup on the iCloud then each time you take a photo you are sending a copy out.  All App Updates if set to Automatic also can add up to quite a bit of Data.  Reading the News on AP or scrolling through FB News Feed is actually adding up to a lot of Data.  There could be other culprits that I am not even thinking of.  I don't want to turn Apps like Find My Phone off or turn iCloud off due to loosing the value of such a program entirely.  Again thanks for your quick response. 

  • Mm issue:-how to deal with  gds sent for repairs and again issued for consm

    The main problem is that if something come for repairing it increase the stock for one period and decrease the R and M for that period. And when after 4 months when goods are received after repairing it disturbs the R and M expense in another period.  And this also disturbs the valuation of the material.
    Any one can suggest how to deal with the repairs done to materials without affecting the valuation price of  original material.
    my points is how everyone in india is dealing with goods sent for repairs outside their company.
    what all entries are generated from first receipt of goods in company till  good sent for consumption after received from vendor who repaired the goods.
    all a/c and mm entries

    what we have decided that we would have 2 valuation type
    1. sap-domestic :- normal stock
    2. sap-use/repair :- repaired items.
    All the goods should be received using sap-domestic valuation. from here goods are sent to shop floor. when ever repair is required goods are received in stock thru sap-use-repair at value zero and not moving price specific to sap-use/repair valuation.
    so till goods that require repair and that already repaired are kept in stock, they are kept at 2 different values one is zero and other is moving price specific to valuation type sap-use/repair.
    now goods are sent for repair at zero value but when these goods are received after repair then value of repair will affect the moving price of valution sap-use/rep.
    so this will solve our problem that goods should be received from shop floor to stock for repair at value zero.
    how can we achieve this that goods received from shop floor to stock for repair is received at zero value and not moving price specific to valuation sap-use/rep. where we will have do setting in this vaution type or wherever required.
    pls send some suggestions on it

  • How does Essbase deals with multi-users

    How does Essbase deals with multi-users connecting for reading and writing in the same time? How the global coherence of the database is controlled when users are updating dimension and data all together?

    For reading, Essbase handles multiple requests concurrently. For metadata (outline) only one user at a time can make and save changes.For data, Essbase uses a block level locking mechanism, which implies that an update to a block can only be done by a single update request, but other blocks in the database are still updateable by other users.Hope that helps.Regards,Jade---------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

  • How do I deal with constant "error loading content" messages?

    I'm constantly seeing error messages on my Apple TV (2nd gen) on content I easily watch on my other iDevices. What gives? This thing is rapidly becoming a vy expensive paper weight. Possibly the worst Apple product I've yet purchased. Am I alone in this?  What can I do?

    You cannot connect to TC using USB.
    Plug the TC into the computer using ethernet.
    Press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec.. until front led rapidly flashes.. release it.
    Open the airport utility and make sure you can locate the TC. Check the disk page that the disk started up without errors.

  • How can I deal with long sql by the oo4o?

    I am using VB and oo4o to develop a sql executor which is a extention of an old system.
    For some reason, I have to use oo4o v8.1.7 to deal with Oracle Database 8i to 11g.
    But when I send a very long sql(11KB) to it I got a error in the VB enviroment.
    The Err.Description is "automention error. Started object is disconnected by the client.".
    The Err.Number is "-2147417848 ".
    The sql that I send it to the program is a simple select sql that like select a, b, c, substrb(d, 1, 2), substrb(e, 2, 3) .... from A_TBL where A=aa;
    This sql is normally executed by the sqlplus but I got an error by the oo4o.
    When I insert a '' between the 30Xth items, it got exectuted normally.
    ex. select a, b, c, substrb(d, 1, 2), substrb(e, 1, 2) ..... substrb(303th, 3, 4), '', substrb(304th, 1, 2) ... from A_TBL where A = aa;

    So how can use this function correctly?By learning what exceptions are, how they're used, and what you can do to deal with them. There's a tutorial here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.htmlAnd here's a quick overview:
    The base class for all exceptions is Throwable. Java provides Exception and Error that extend Throwable. RuntimeException (and many others) extend Exception.
    RuntimeException and its descendants, and Error and its descendants, are called unchecked exceptions. Everything else is a checked exception.
    If your method, or any method it calls, can throw a checked exception, then your method must either catch that exception, or declare that your method throws that exception. This way, when I call your method, I know at compile time what can possibly go wrong and I can decide whether to handle it or just bubble it up to my caller. Catching a given exception also catches all that exception's descendants. Declaring that you throw a given exception means that you might throw that exception or any of its descendants.
    Unchecked exceptions (RuntimeException, Error, and their descendants) are not subject to those restrictions. Any method can throw any unchecked exception at any time without declaring it. This is because unchecked exceptions are either the sign of a coding error (RuntimeException), which is totally preventable and should be fixed rather than handled by the code that encounters it, or a problem in the VM, which in general can not be predicted or handled.

  • TS1539 How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

    How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

    Yeah this "fix" is bunk. The movie is downloading just fine, but the extra features is the one giving me this error code. It is NOT my firewall. If it was, then both files wouldn't download. Plus, I already have the firewall "issue" tacked down and fixed. Have had it fixed for months now. No, this is due to the "new" itunes version 11 software. The only conclusion to fix this issue is UPgrading from 11 back to 10.7 which is what I am going to do. This is completely ridiculous! Come on, Apple, get itunes working once and for all, and fire the people responsible for itunes 11, just like you did to the guy who was responsible for apple maps. Thankfully Google came back to the rescue with google maps app.
