How do I know it is okay to disconnect my camera after downloading photos

When I download photos from my SLR to my iMac using Aperture 3.1.3 is there anything I need to do to disconnect my camera after the download?
Usually there is an okay to disconnect message or button to ejec. I do not see anything on Aperature that it is okay to disconnect.

Just pull the plug.  It's OK.
Aperture (and OS X) will see a card reader as a drive and mount the drive, and you will get an "Eject Card" button.  That's not how it works with a camera.  After you have imported your photos, you'll click something on the "Aperture has imported ## photos" dialog, and then it's OK (and recommended) to disconnect the cable.  (Leaving the cable connected drains the camera battery.)

    How Chat Server will know what is the user's Status(online or offline) When the user will get disconnected due to Internet failure
    " Let you are a user having 10 friends, and when you loged in, at that time you have 5 online friends and 5 offline friends. lets after some time one of your online friend get disconnected from server due to any kind of netwrk failuer, then how server will know about it."

    When the server tries to write to the socket and verify that it is OK, then it will return an error.

  • How do I know if I have a trojan via adobe flash download

    I was told by my internet provider that a computer in my house has a Trojan. He said it arrived at 4:30 pm. I was working on my Mac then, looking at The Bay and WestJet sites. An "Adobe Flash Player install" popped up on my computer and I just closed it... I don't remember exactly what I pressed to make it go away. So now I don't know if there is a trojan on my computer or not and what to do about it.
    thanks

    You are being scammed, most likely, but not by your provider.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • How do I know which version of Boot Camp Windows software to download

    I am trying to download the correct Windows utilities to install into a Win 7 - 32 bit installation on my mid-2010 Mac Mini. I am running MacOS 10.8.4. I cannot get the auto download feature in boot camp to work so I am trying to download the software manually. The problem is that there are 4 or 5 different Version 4 downloads. I have tried two and both times when I tried to install it in Windows it told me I had an incompatible installer program. I have wasted way too much time on this already and am really ready for some expert advice. For that matter I would also be interested in finding out why I keep getting a network error evertime I try to download it through boot camp.
    Thanks,
    Rick

  • How do I get back my bookmarks and history which disappeared after downloading critical Windows Updates?

    On 10/16/14 I downloaded 11 critical Windows Updates (I have the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Pro).
    All updates ran successfully, but after the updates, Firefox would not run. Instead I got the error “Couldn’t Load XPCOM”. Internet Explorer was working. I reinstalled Firefox . I did not delete it and then reinstall it, I just downloaded Firefox.
    That worked and I can now use Firefox, but I have several other problems:
    • I lost all my Bookmarks
    • I lost some of my History. I can only view history for “Today” and “Yesterday” in the Library. I am missing “Last 7 days” (except for 10/16 and later) and “This Month” history view.
    I have been trying to research how to fix this on my own for the past several days, even though I am very non-tech savy.
    I tried the following, but none of these things has corrected the bookmarks or history problem:
    • I did a System Restore to 10/13/14
    • I tried to do a System Restore to 10/12/14. I got the error “Did not complete successfully. Unspecified error 0x8000ffff”.
    • I reset Firefox to its default state.
    • I tried to change the Privacy setting for Firefox history from “Remember History” to “Use custom setting for history” followed by checking “Remember my browsing and download history”, “Remember search and form history”, and “Accept cookies from site”. I am unable to change this. It always reverts back to “Remember History”.
    I located only one Profile Manager, which I found by going through the Windows start menu with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" –p.
    I found "bookmarkbackups" under my Profile Folder. The oldest bookmark folder listed is from 10/16/2014.
    Could someone please help me get all my Bookmarks and History back from before the 10/16/2014 updates? Thank you.

    Hi askmozilla, yes, the Previous Versions tab in the Properties dialog for the places.sqlite files in the oldest of those folders.
    I'm not sure whether Windows can match that file up with earlier restore points once the folder is moved from its original location to the desktop.
    I wonder whether there is any way to access the restore point created on 10/16 just before Windows installed the updates. That really would be the best place to look if possible.

  • How do I make Word documents to open in Word automatically after downloading the way they used to before I chose "Do this automatically with all files of this type?"

    I teach online, and my students post Word files to a Gradebook where I can click on the link and download their papers. Recently, because I got tired of having to tell Firefox what to do, I checked the box that tells it to open all Word documents with Word automatically. Now, it downloads the files, but they don't open in Word anymore, so I have to go to Downloads and open them manually. I don't know why this changed--I thought I was saving myself time. Going to Applications doesn't work--it says, when I type in Word documents (that doesn't appear in the list unless I type it), that I've chosen "Always ask." But when I click on the link, I don't get that old dialog box anymore! Help!

  • How to delete files from an attached camera after downloading?

    New to Aperture 2. I am sure to have a lot of exploring to do but for now I am looking for a way to delete files from an attached camera after downloading like you can with iPhoto. Is this possible?

    While I might be a bit paranoid, I prefer to format in the camera after verifying that the import came out OK. It is a small price to pay to make sure that my images are actually on the computer. I don't do anything fancy, just make sure that the thumbnails come up correctly, and maybe perform an edit.
    While it was not my images, thank goodness, I did get bit in a similar fashion. I use a "watch fob" style GPS unit for Geocoding. I have hoodahgeo configured to delete my tracks after import. Well, after one session I forgot to update my images with the gps information. As you can guess, when I re-opened HoodahGeo to try and re-geotag, the tracks were gone, so I was out of luck.

  • How do i get itunes to ask me for my password after downloading an app?

    pretty simple, when i download an app it just doenloads automatically. i want itunes to ask me for my password but it wont?

    By default, the App Store will request your Apple ID password once, and then for the next 15 minutes (or so, I beleive), it will not require it again.  If you want to change that behavior, enable restrictions (making sure to memorize the passcode you create), and change the default to 'Immediately'.
