How do I take a photo and make it the shape of the object I choose, eg. oval, etc?

I am not in front of a Mac at the moment but believe it is:
select the image > Menu > Format > Mask with shape > choose oval

New HD- how do I copy orig HD and make it the master?

Hi everyone,
I just installed an internal 160GB Seagate drive into my computer which is running 10.2.8, on 12GB original hard drive.
I just placed it in there and plugged it in. Machine was shakey on startup, but it finally showed me the desktop, but no icon for the new disk on there. but luckly, It showed up in system profiler (it says I have 120GB, I know I need a ata thing, but that's fine for now)!
I got into disk utility and partitioned it into 2 parts for (graphics mainly) applications and hard drive info- 60GB. I'll use the other half for storage. Both partitions now appear on my desktop-whew.
how should I go about making the new drive- disk utilities says it's the slave- into the master? (12GB original HD vs. 60GB partition)
Should I just drag and drop files to the new partition? I DL'd that "super duper!" program, should I use that?
and after I do that, should I switch the jumpers on both hard drives to make 120GB the master?
Does it have to be the master to be the startup disk?
why does it have to be the master?
thank you. I love this forum, and I tell everyone about it.

Hi,
You need Carbon Copy Cloner.
Here is a post that I made for another user.(who had a laptop)
In X you cannot drag and drop the system like you could in preX systems.
You have to use a program like Carbon Copy Clone or Super Duper or the restore function in Disk Utility. Each has its benefits and liabilities.
My favorite is Carbon Copy Clone. Here is a post I made to another thread on this topic.
A clone is just what it says. It is an exact copy of the parent.
Unlike the mac os's prior to X, you cannot just drag and drop your system or many of it's folders to another hard drive/partition to copy them. There are invisible files and links between files that have to be maintained. No problem, you just use a program for cloning. I have used Carbon Copy Clone for years and for making a simple clone it is easy and works well.
To start with, you need another hard drive. You will need an external firewire drive to make it bootable (a combo firewire/usb is fine but just usb won't work on our macs. The newer Intel macs are usb bootable but ours just work on firewire). Once you have the external drive plug it in, turn it on and format it using Disk Utility to hfs+ journaled. If you want to split the drive in 2 or more parts you can do it now. Keep in mind that you need at least as much space on the clone as the parent takes. To split the drive later would require erasing it's contents so decide if you want to have more than one copy of your system (one for testing the other for backup or what ever). This is all done with Disk Utility.
Now that you have the destination for cloning download CCC
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13260
(This site is also a great one for downloading share ware, updates, etc. so book mark VersionTracker.com).
First open your preferences and select Energy Saver. Set it to a couple of hours or just turn it off. You don't want to sleep during the clone process. You might also want to plug your laptop into the power supply.
Once downloaded, drag CCC to the Applications folder, start it and you will get the panel for cloning. Click the preferences and select "repair permissions before cloning and make bootable".
Close the preferences and on the main panel your source is your current hard drive. The destination is the external drive (or one of it's partitions if you decide to split the hd). Click the lock at the bottom to bring up the authentication window, enter your name, click the clone button and go watch tv or something.
When it is finished you will get a window telling you so. Don't do web surfing or Photoshop work while cloning. If you can't remember what programs are running before cloning then just restart your mac and go directly to CCC or whatever program you decide to use (some like SuperDuper also available on VersionTracker.com. Just enter "clone" in the search window).
When it is all done try booting from your clone. You hold the option key down at boot and with the firewire drive on you should get a screen with both the laptop's hard drive and your external drive as valid start drives. Select the external and it should boot. If it does not go back to your main drive, open preferences and select Startup Disk. Your clone should appear there. Select it and restart. If it still does not work then your clone is bad but in 3 years of cloning I think that this happened one time.
If you ever mess up the main laptop drive or it dies you can start your laptop off the clone, start CCC, erase the laptops messed up/or new drive and clone your backup to the laptop. Now a catastrophic failure of the system or the hard drive won't cost you any lost info and time.
I keep several clones on several drives for backup. Every few months I use dvd's to back up critical customer files but in the interim it is clones of the main drive. When major updates to the system come along and I'm going to install them it is never without making sure that I have an up to date clone to fall back on. Years ago I had a drive fail that I thought was backed up on cd's. It was an expensive lesson in backing up. Since then I have had half a dozen hard drives fail so my paranoia with multiple clones. Cloning is the easiest way to make sure everything is backed up.

I updated my software last night and when I came back to the computer its says there was a problem and I need to restore factory settings. How do I get my photos and videos off the phone

I plugged in my phone to update to the latest software. After a while, I went back to the PC and it said there had been a problem and that I needed to restore the factory settings.
I am worried that I will lose all the photos and videos that I have on the phone. How do I get them off.
When I now plug the phone it the screen looks like when you first get it - i.e. itunes logo and asking me to plug in.

If the device has been used as designed, the pics and via taken with the device would have regularly been copied off to a computer.
The first step in the update process via iTunes on the computer is a backup.
Restore the device from the most recent backup.
If data is lost, then it is merely the fault of the user for not backing up the device or saving their data regularly.
Once the device is in recovery mode, the ONLY option is to restore.

How do I take one photo and add it onto another?

I want to take the photo of a cheque, and add it to a photo so it looks like the person is holing a large cheque (from shoes to waste sixed cheque)
All assistance appreciated
Kiwidreaming

Easy Photoshop task:
Open both check image and desired target image in Photoshop
Switch to check image, trim out background stuff (possibly making sure the check is on its own layer, to ease background removal)
Select all (control-A), copy (Control-C)
Switch to target image
Paste (Control-V) - This will paste the check image into a new layer of the document
Re-size / transform (Control-T) - This is where you'll be able to tell if the check image was high enough resolution, and if you need another image
Since the target document will have the check on a new layer, it gives you plenty of freedom for other corrections, adjustments, etc.
There's a few other shortcuts to achieve the same effect, but this 'feels' the most straightforward.
Cheers!

How do i remove a user and make myself the main user?

I originally bought this MacBook Pro for me and my boyfriend. He entered in all of his information into the computer and now I am the only user of the Mac but i can't figure out how to stop getting all of the notifications for his facebook and twitter, as well as make my apple ID the primary ID for the laptop, any idea on how to fix this?

Is your account an Admin account? Open Users & Groups or Accounts preferences. See if your account is an admin account:
If you are, then just delete any other user accounts on the computer. Open Sharing preferences where you can change the computer's name if you wish.
What version of OS X are you running? Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. The version will be displayed in the dialog.

How can I transfer my photos and videos from the iphone to my computer?

I have had my iphone since fall 2010 and I have transferred photos to my computer from my iphone only once. Now I want to transfer my videos and photos but I can remember how I did the last time and I can remember where the instructions are or how I learned to do it. Any help out there? The iphone manual is useless. The Apple help site is useless.

Jim VanLeeuwen has already given you the answer, but (for your future reference), when I saw your comment -- on an RSS feed -- that "The Apple help site is useless" I went to the Support pages and in the search box at the top, entered, "transfer photos from iPhone to Mac". The top result was the one Jim VanLeeuwen offers.

You can use either the mailDoc (http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.505.html) or submitForm (http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.537.html) JavaScript methods.
For the latter method, you'd include the subject line as part of a mailto type URI. Do a web search to see how this is done. With the mailDoc method, just use the "cSubject" parameter.

HT201302 The only piece of technology my father-in-law has is an iPad, how does he backup his photos and contacts?

The first and only piece of technology my father-in-law has ever owned is an iPad; how can he backup his photos and contacts in the event something happens to his iPad and needs to be replaced? He does not own a computer, just the iPad. Is any of this content in iCloud or iTunes or can be backed up there? Maybe an external device?

He should use iCloud. If he sets up an iCloud account, he will get 5GB of free storage which purchased content from the App Store and iTunes does not count against. His contacts and photos will count against the 5GB of storage but if he needs more space, it can be purchased at any time.
Many users have gone PC free and totally rely on iCloud now. It is very easy to setup on the iPad. Just tap on iCloud in the settings and follow the prompts. Read all of thses for more information.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto?

How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto as if it was a brand new install?
I am new to iPhoto and was unaware of how it works, honestly I still am a little confused as to when pics I am using 1/2 the time, some from iPhoto and some from MyPics.
Anyhow, I am looking to remove all photos from iPhoto because during the migration of all my photos from PC to MAC, somehow my timeline became messed up and all my photos that have been logged my dates since 1998 are now all messed up.
Although all my year folders are still in tact, IE 1998-2006, the subfolders and like pics are all intertwined somehow.
And when I search iPhoto for a given year, photos from 2,4, 8 yrs back show up in 2006.
Anyhow, I have selected and deleted all photos and folders within iPhoto, and then import the desired photos from MyPics, only to have the photos double up in the library. ( The old ones that should be deleted and the new imports)
I simply don't get it, they fill the trash and disappear when it's emptied, then reappear when iPhoto re-opens!
Can someone help????
I have completely reworked all my photos so that they are all in the correct folders outside of iPhoto, and now I want to import those and only those pics with that file structure.
IE Structure = YEAR > MONTH > DAY ( or if needed) > DAY/EVENT

Do you want to remove the existing full sized image files also? If so then just drag the iPhoto Library folder from the Pictures folder to the Trash and empty it. But be warned you'll lose all of your image files.
You are dragging the files to the iPhoto Trash bin and then using the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu, right?
In copying your photos to myspace and then back the original capture date may not be retained and then either the created date or modified date will be used by iPhoto. If the files in the current library are the originals from your camera then those have the best chance of retaining the correct Captured Date. You can check that out by dragging the Originals folder from your iPhoto Library folder to the desktop and then trash what remains of the iPhoto Library folder. Then launch iPhoto and it will ask you to create an new library. Then import that Originals folder and it's subfolders by dragging it into iPhoto's open window. You'll keep the same rolls that was. The roll dates may change but you can check the captured date of the files by using the calendar in the Source pane.
You won't be able to keep your folder structure within iPhoto. Each outside folder will result in a roll with the same title as the folder. You'll be able to create folders in the Source pane to put albums inside. You can create a smart album to include all photos in a certain date range, line one month.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

HT201317 How do I add existing photos and albumns on my iPhone to the photo stream?

How do I add existing photos and albumns on my iPhone to the photo stream?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The easiest method is to connect your device to iTunes, transfer the photos to your computer and add them to photostream from there. If you only have a few photos to add, you could take a screenshot of each one.

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How can I efficiently resize photos and add zooms to send to Premiere Elements

Hi
I am regularly making DVDs in Premiere Elements V3 with about 200 pics from my V5 Catalogue ,with some zooms and then adding about a dozen edited video sequences, adding sound, transitions etc in premiere Elements. This is the normal profile of what I do
I now need to find a simple and efficient work flow to do this.
What I am doing so far ( but it might have to change very soon when I upgrade to V7 depending on how compatible the versions are, and whether they offer better ways to do this) is
     Make Collection in Photoshop
     Export to Folder ( my folder destination for the resized images), changing the resolution in the dialogue box
     Then use that folder as source for Premiere.
This works EXCEPT
     Issue1        The order of the pics was changed ,and was not that in the Collection. This was done during the export phase, so seems to do with PS, rather than the import to PE. It seems random, not date etc
    Isuue 2         Now how do I do my zooms, as currently this can only be done in slide show creation , I think,. And I don't think you can the save a slide show to file.
    So I am getting a bit confused
At first I used "process multiple images", but it used an extra stage, first "export to file", then "process Multiple files". This was not as quick but did retain the order.
So if there are suggestions on the best way to do this in general and for PE7and PS7 that would be helpful.
Thanks
Chris

update your mac to the latest and greatest lion software. then you can photo stream wirelessly through wi-fi. but that is about it. and beware, lion has had many issues. make sure you look at the comments people are making on the reviews page and make sure the problmes have been updated. i have not upgraded yet, for i want to wait to see if they get all the bugs worked out before doing so. been issues with losing information and firmware issues.

Can the new iPad Air take panorama photos and/or slo-mo video?

Can the new iPad Air take panorama photos and/or slo-mo video?
The specs don't indicate that it can but the hardware seems capable.
Thanks in advance.

I find it silly that Apple wont let the camera app on the new ipad air take panorama pictures when 3rd party app do. Apple why make something as wonderfull as the new ipad air, then cripple it with a sub standerd camera app.
My iPhone 4 that is over 3 years old has the same camera app.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Note:
Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use...
