How many photos are too many photos for iPhoto? When do I need to updgrade to Aperture?

Hi Terrence, this is what happens, all too often when I click on something, sometimes it takes me 5 more clicks on the mouse while moving the cursor around to get rid of it. The one below popped up as I clicked on my junk mail.
The next one popped up when I was trying to get on to a site. This happens all the time. Don't know why it is happening. It happens on iPhoto, Aperture, everywhere I go, FaceBook...everywhere and at any time. So frustrating. I don't know if this is normal, but this was happening just before my last mac died a year ago.

How many photos are too many to import at once?

My good ol' iPhoto 6.0.6 crashes these days when I try to import photos from my iPhone to my MacBook. I inadvertantly have built up to more than 4000+ photos on phone (at least 3000 already on iPhoto but I did not delete from phone) so trying to get most recent set imported (using 'only import non-duplicates). (And yes, will want to delete a good chunk off of phone once I know they are safely stored elsewhere, and backed up, so that iPhoto doesn't have to search and compare thousands at a time.)
I suspect I am out of luck bc. I see that I already have 12 890 photos (38.GB) in iPhoto. Using OX 10.6.8, 1GB ram and have 156 GB available. Is my set-up too old/small to handle such a big import all at once? It seems to quit part way into the import and when I open iPhoto the next time there are files to be recovered. I wanted to upgrade to the newest iPhoto but I think my OS doesn't support it. I know I will have to upgrade my whole computer soon but had hoped among other things to get these photos sorted with what I have now.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

With 1 gig of Ram yes it will be very easy to overwhelm the import process.
Use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) to get the files from your phone to a folder on the desktop, then import from there in batches.

TS3276 how many addressees are too many for the iCloud server?

I want to send a collective email. How many addresses will Icloud accept?

When working with lots of shorter sequences, i find it much easier to negotiate around the different scenes etc.
If you label each sequence correctly, or logically... ie- intro, car chase, love scene etc, you can jump there quicker than scrolling along a huge timeline...
Also, consider processor load... FCP works alot quicker and efficiently with shorter sequences, as it's not having to calculate the content of a huge timeline... using the waveform display for example.... if you have the waveform visible, it can take FCP ages to reveal the graph down a long timeline, whereas, with a shorter timeline, it's virtually instant.
The main thing to look at during your edit process is organisation... you want to work smoothly, efficiently, and with as little anxiety as possible... organising your sequences for the initial assembly edit can help keep a clear head.
Another advantage of using lots of different sub-sequences is 'un-seen error'... Even the most experienced, Uber-FCP-Masters make mistakes... and when working on shorter sequences, it's much easier to see those mistakes... or rather, mistakes jump out at you more obviously... When editing really long sequences, sometimes a weird slip, or slight momentary laps of concentration can cause something to mess up right down the other end of the timeline... and it goes un-noticed...
When you have finished all your 'sub-sequences', copy and paste into one master sequence... do not nest the sub-sequences into the master...
all the best

Memory usage Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - How many images are too many?

My wife and I are having a discussion about the memory allocation of Adobe PSE 9.
We run both of our profiles logged in on a 27" iMac top end from May, 2010, with 12 GB of RAM.
She had a number of pictures open (let's say 20 - 25) that she was working on editing. Trying to shut the program down or work within it, the spinning wheel of death made a cameo appearance and brought the system to a crawl.
I ran Activity Monitor and it said that she had 746 MB of memory free out of 7.39 GB active and 11.27 GB used. With each image I closed, I gained an additional 5 - 7 MB of free memory.
Once I force quit PSE 9, that number jumped to nearly 2.5 GB free.
For those with experience using PSE 9, can you give me an indication:
How many images do you have open that you're working with at the same time?
For those people with more Mac OS X experience, would having 750 MB free out of 12 GB reduce the computer to a crawl?
Thanks in advance.

As a general rule of thumb (some will disagree with me) if your machine has about 500MB of Free RAM or less this will slow down the computer significantly. Also as a general rule you can never have too much RAM. One nice thing about your machine is it can be upgraded up to as much as 32GB of RAM however 8GB chips are EXTREMELY expensive right now and currently only OWC sells a kit. You can upgrade to 16GB for a lot less, whether you need it or not no one here can say for sure. I would continue to keep an eye on Activity Monitor and keep my first sentence in the back of your mind.

Flatten a Key Value Pair...how many joins are too many?

Hello,
So, a product can have many attributes...things that describe the product. In our 3rd party ERP, these are stored in a key-value manner.
product_code
attribute_code
attribute_value
etc.
Now, for some products there are 150+ attributes....you can pretty much guess where this is going...
User wants a report that shows an product_code and it's attributes on a single line (in separate columns) for Excel manipulation(s).
So, the SQL would require joining the same attribute table as many times as there are distinct attribute_codes for a given product_code.
If there are 150 named/distinct attributes that need to be lined up, this would mean 150 joins on that one table.
OR write scalars for each attribute
OR write a function that fetches the attribute_value when you pass the product_code and attribute_code and call this function 150 times in the SQL select list.
Yes, I know, I should benchmark each approach and select the one that works best....BUT, I would like to poll the wisdom of outstanding individuals on this group to see which of the 3 approaches would be preferred.
Oh and the users typically "query" hundreds to thousands of products and want this result set.
We are still on the terminally supported Oracle 10g database on Linux.
Thanks,
Manish

How many DADs are too many?

I've read on mod_plsql performance tuning pages that fewer is better but how much of a hit does another DAD really cause? I'm wondering if we could stop running multiple applications under a DAD and break them up by application. Say we went from 6 to 20 as an example.

Each DAD requires Apache to set up a handler struct for the DAD - and if the DADs are configured with connection pools, additional memory for these are also needed.
So in that respect a DAD is no different than a mod_perl location handler, or a mod_php location handler, and so on. Same basic Apache configuration, performance and scalability rules apply.
That said, I have 37 DADs on a production Apache server (web front-end to several RACs, and SE and EE databases). The little web server is a dual core AMD Sunfire server. And not showing any strain providing 100's of users access to a large number of Apex applications.

Cant' search for keywords - there are too many of them

It's probably a known bug/issue, but when you have to many keywords, you can't search for all of them.
This grey box pops up with all your keywords, which are ordered alphabetically. Unfortunately I'm not able see my keywords from A to L, because there are too many.
Here is an image to further illustrate what I mean.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3222/23789607331e284cabe4o.jpg

Thanks, what a bummer . I was hoping for a fix or a freeware solution :P.
Is there a way to notify Apple about this? Keywords seem poorly designed, or at least not thought through, compared to other programs.

HT204259 Many duplicates are in my Photos. Is there a way to get rid of them not deleting one by one or dozen by dozen?

Many duplicates are in my Photos. Is there a way to get rid of them not deleting one by one or dozen by dozen?

It seems, in old times we could make path to the original file from the IPhoto browser, couldn't we?
There is another question. If I succeed deleting duplicates from the Iphoto library with some third-party program, does it mean that I really free my hard disk of them? Will they disappear from Photos also?

Photos Are Too Big

Good morning.
I've just started exploring the possibility of making a photo album in iPhoto. When I place a photo on a full page, the photos are too big for the 'frame'- that is, the frame crops part of my photos off. I have tried using the resizing tool but find that the photos are already resized to their smallest.
Is there another way to deal with this problem?
Thanks,
BurntMonkey

John:
iPhoto puts up that warning when the resolution of the image falls below 180 dpi. A lot would depend on how far it falls below. They will not appear as good as they do on screen but that goes for all of the photos. The monitor display usually has more contrast and snap than the printed version. But that's not to mean the printed version doesn't or won't look good.
You can approximate the dpi of the photo for the frame that's giving the warning. The pages are 8.5 x 11. Estimate the size of the frame and divide the frame's dimension into the pictures corresponding pixel dimension.
What are the pixel dimensions of a typical photo that's giving you the warning sign and what page layout/frame are the in?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Photoshop CS5.1 Extended: Could not complete your request because there are too many Files Open

I saved a file last night and now this morning I get an error message stating: "Photoshop CS5.1 Extended: Could not complete your request because there are too many Files Open. Try closing some windows and try again.". I've rebooted the system and made sure Photoshop was the only program running and that there were no other files open prior to trying to open my file. I increased Photoshops ram usage, checked the OpenGL settings, 3D and VRAM settings, cleared my temp files and am at a loss for opening this file.
System Specs:
Win 7 64
6 core I7 processor
32gb Ram
3GB VRAM
600gb free space on 7200 rpm drive
File specs:
1 3D object replicated maybe 5 times (yes, I should have rasterized them, and will do that to 4 of them if I get the file open)
Maybe 8 textures
Not sure how many total layers.
Is there anyway to get Photoshop to reopen this file?

No, more VRAM is useless. I had the same thought as you so I tried with a friend's computer with 3GB of VRAM for 8GB RAM (mine has 1GB VRAM for 16GB RAM). Still got the same error message. Sorry guys but our files are lost until Adobe fix the error in Photoshop code. I hope in the future they will find a way to either fix this error or give a clear limitation, it is really a shame such a dangerous problem exists and persists for more than 3 photoshop gen.
Still you may be able to have at least a flat image of your latest file by trying to open the file as smart object. I started my work over by doing that. Not a lot but better than nothing.
However for my new file I am trying something different : Each time I think a 3D file is final, I do not rasterize it but make it into a smart object and save the new smart object into a single separated .psd file. If any change is needed I can still edit all of my 3D objects by opening them separately. So far it works, the global file is lighter with few to no 3D objects inside but I will not say it is a 100% no-risk method yet.
Last advice I can give everyone : Before closing the file you are working on, save it as a copy (File / Save as... and check 'As copy' in the options below) then with your main file still open, try to open the copy. You may need a lot of memory if your file is heavy but still if the dreaded error message appears when you try to open the copy then remove or rasterize some 3D objects in your main one. Save again as copy and try to open the copy until you do not get the message anymore.

There are too many TREX Errors

Hello Experts,
I have created an Index for a specific folder in KM.
Under KM--> Sys Conf --> KM --> Index Administration it shows the green led, which I believe that the data sources are completely indexed. But, under the KM--> Monitoring > KM> Indexing Monitor , it says:
Status = red led (There are too many TREX errors)
Status = Active
In Process = 142678
Indexed = 51345
Errors = 10849
And, when I opened the list of errors there are many Crawler and Trex: Preparation failed: index operation
Can you suggest, what's the mistake that I am doing or do I have to any additional configurations for the index that I have created??
Thanks,
Raghava

Hi Raghava,
as I said, "Preparation Failed" may be (if I recall correctly) as early as the HTTP request to even get the document for indexing. If this is not possible for TREX, then of course the indexing fails.
What I suggested was a manual reproduction. So log on to the TREX host (preferrably with the user that TREX uses to access the documents) and then simply try to open one of the docs with the "failed" status by pasting its address in the browser. If this does not work, you have a pretty good idea what's happening.
Unfortunately, if that were the case, this would the be some issue in network communications or ticketing and authorizatuions, which I can not tell you from here how to solve.
In any case, I would advise to open a support message to SAP - probably rather under the portal component than under TREX, as I do not assume that this stage of a queue error has anything to do with the actual engine.
Best,
Karsten

so is there any link can show me all the PIN which is assign to my account and manage them
Please Advice

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB25553 "There are too many PIN changes associated with this account (Error ID: 30801)" is encountered when attempting to login to BlackBerry App World
As you see, the way to resolve it is clear, and you seem to have reached some folks in your attempts that were not able to resolve it. Nevertheless, you should not allow them to fob you off...insist that the KB instructs the resolution path and insist that they make good on that.

How to slow down too many deliveries of daily return_job?

Does anyone know how to slow down too many deliveries of dail return_job at 00:30?
I'm using following version.
$ /opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/imsimta version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-5.02 (built Oct 12 2007; 32bit)
libimta.so 6.3-5.02 (built 17:15:31, Oct 12 2007; 32bit)
SunOS hostname 5.9 Generic_122300-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480RAbout 7,000 delivery notification messages was created by return_job in 1 minute
and then the smarthost could not process these messages and froze.

Thanks, Shane.
So, I want to control the transmission rate to smarthost, especially mails created by return_job.You can throttle back the rate at which Messaging Server attempts to send emails to the smarthost by decreasing the maxjobs setting from 7 to say 2 and increasing the threaddepth to say 32. This will reduce the number of simultaneous active connections and also the rate at which new delivery jobs are created.
http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/Threaddepth_Channel_Option
Also since you are using the daemon keyword you may want to try the multiple option (instead of single_sys).
http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/Multiple%2C_addrsperfile%2C_single%2C_single_sys_Channel_Options
So these combined give you the following channel definition:

Photos are too dark

Hi! I finally decided to switch to Apple and purchased an iMac. I take a lot of photos and occasionally get paid for doing so. I used Photoshop on my old computer, so of course I purchased the Mac version. The problem I am having is that all my photos are too dark, too much contrast. They look 'normal' on my old PC. Any suggestions?
thanks in advance
~ImZaxMom~

What color profile do your photos have? If they have the Adobe RGB color profile that can cause them to be darker than the standard camera RGB, Apple RGB or sRGB IECD61966-1 profiles. It's even more evident when printing with inkjet printers.
You can calibrate your display via the System/Displays/Color preference pane or pick a standard color profile for the display that might lighten up what you see in the photos.
