How to Clear Iphoto and Rebuild from another file, not Iphoto Library?

I have over 7000 images. Some of the Iphoto thumbnails are from my desktop file and some from the DATA file copied into Iphoto. I want to rebuild my thumbnails using all of the pictures on my desk top, not copying them/duplicating into Iphoto. The reason I want to rebuild Iphoto is years ago while copying and moving pictures on another PC the picture data was deleted and the date data of the pics was lost. If I load the images, Iphoto mixes the images up. I have organized all the pics on my desktop into folders by month and year. When I tried to rebuild, old photos show up again so I deleted the original Data (photos) in Iphoto and after rebuilding they reappeared with many images just black boxes. I was expecting a blank page so I could start to build the thumbnails from my desktop folders.
How do I get a blank screen/no images in Iphoto? Select all the images and drag to trash? To be safe I have all my pictures saved on 2 ext hard drives. Also can a select a group (i.e. by month) and change all the date info at one time?
If you can help...THANKS

It’s difficult to advise you because you’re using non-standard terms. I’m worried that if I misunderstood something that I might give you a bum steer.
Some general principles: Don’t “clear iPhoto”. Instead make a new Library: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'.
When you have this new Library working you can delete the old one.
In general, if you have a Folder of images and you drag them to the Source (or left-hand) Pane in iPhoto the pics will be imported and a new Album and Roll will be created. This may help.
Some of the Iphoto thumbnails are from my desktop file and some from the DATA file copied into Iphoto.
I have no idea why you would want thumbnails. Surely you want the full sized files? What’s a desktop file? Do you mean Desktop Folder?, also what’s a DATA file?
I want to rebuild my thumbnails using all of the pictures on my desk top, not copying them/duplicating into Iphoto.
This makes no sense to me. Why are you rebuilding thumbnails? And if you don’t want to use iPhoto then why are you posting here?
so I deleted the original Data (photos) in Iphoto and after rebuilding they reappeared with many images just black boxes
Here’s a really good general principle:
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network? Thanks

You can do it manually, but it is much simpler if you use a tool such as Back To My Mac, LogMeIn, or something like that. Those programs enable you to connect to your computer through your router without you having to adjust the router settings manually.

How to create package and import from jar file?

Hi all,
I am writing a software and I am not sure how to create a package for the classes.
Say I have two classes in the same directory as follows:
testA.java
==========
package AB;
public class testA
public static void main(String[] args){
     testB myB = new testB();
     System.out.println("A test");
testB.java
===========
package AB;
public class testB
public testB(){
     System.out.println("B constructor");
both file compile without the package heading;
both file compile using: javac -classpath .\ *.java
Question 1:
I cannot run testA by: java -classpath .\ testA
I think it is a syntax error. What is the correct one?
If I run testA by: java testA
The only output I get is: A test
But I am expecting: B constructor /n A test
What went wrong?
Question 2:
I need to use APIs of another software. I have downloaded a .jar file (xxx.jar) with all the classes in it. And I have put "import xxx.*;" in my source file. But the compiler complains about the importing. What is the right way to copmile it?
I have read a couple of tutorials but they don't answer my question.
(I am using windows2000 and don't have the classpath variable.)
Hope some one can help.
Thanks a lot

Try moving testA out of the package and importing 'AB.*;'
If you have:
./testA.class
./AB/testb.class
Then to execute testA from ./ type: java -cp . testA

But i need to Delimited and insert the data into table ..Here Header data insert into saperate table and
middlle of the data insert into main table and footer data insert in another table it all happen one attempt by using file read Adapter(11.1.1.1.3)

You have a header parameter in the file datastore. You can provide any number to skip rows from top of the file. For footer you can create a filter in staging area.
Filter coould be something like this.
where source_alias.source_column not like '%FOOTER_OR_ANY_VALUE_AS_PER_YOUR_REQ'

How do I call a function from another file?

In MainView.m I have one function -(void)goTell;
I want to be able to call the function from SecondView.m. How do I do this?
I have declared the function in the MainView.h and added #include MainView.h to SecondView.m, but it still doesn't work.
This code crashes my program (for some reason this board takes away my brackets... assume the code is written correctly):
[[MainView alloc] init];
MainView *myMainView;
[myMainView goTell];
By the way... goTell has nothing in it. It's just a blank function for testing purposes.
Ethan

BTW - Wrap your code like this in posts tags so it stay readable.
put code here
Your code needs to be:
MainView *myMainView = [[MainView alloc] init];
[MyMainView goTell];

How to remove Header and Footer from Flat File

Hi,
In a scenario , we are going to recieve a flat file which will contains header , footer and data. We have to have to load data in Oracle tables and remove header and footer.

Please help me in solving this issue.
Thanks,

My laptop crashed. I have the disk (intact). How do I find and move the inbox files (not local folders) of my three pop3 accounts to the new laptop?

Old laptop had Thunderbird. THe laptop stopped working, so I took the C drive (SATA disk) and and plugged that to a USB port.
New laptop has Thunderbird installed, local folders have been restored. The inbox contents are missing (I use the option "download from server", so the recent correspondence is there.
I have three POP3 accounts, so I am trying to identify the location of three separate "inbox" and "Sent" folders, and add them to the new installation.
Where are those files stored, and what would be the simple way to restore them on the new laptop?

So this seemed to result in the outcome I wanted:
- Find the old Thunderbird profile location (.../AppData/Roaming ... THunderbird/Profiles/...default/Mail/first.account.domain/Inbox
- FInd the same location on the New laptop
Copy the first (old, backup) inbox to a new file in the New profile folder; I did Inbox.bak
Start TBird - and lo and behold, I have folders "Inbox" (recent mail since the old laptop crash) and "Inbox.bak" (the mail I thought was lost).
Looks like I need to add all accounts to the New TBird first so that it creates the profiles, and after that copy the backup Inbox & Sent files to the new profile folders.
This worked for me. Not very elegant, with several manual steps, but end result is what I needed.
It would be great if there was a smoother way for disaster recovery.
And yes, I should have had better backup policy in place. For everyone's benefit - I do Data Center systems for a living, and have seen far too many "backup" services which do not actually work in a restore situation. That's why my personal backups are direct file copies on large disks. It works, but leaves room for manual error, which is what happened here.
Actual folders, btw, I keep where I see them - "c:\users\username\Thunderbird" - for this very reason.

How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another page or file - on the same screen?

How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another - on the same screen?

Open both of your images in the Editor. Click on the image you want to copy and press Ctrtl+A (select all) followed by Ctrl+C (copy) then click the tab for your other image and press Ctrl+V (paste)
Alternatively click on your background image then simply drag the second image from the photo/project bin and drop it into the main editor workspace on top of the background image. Use the move tool to position and the corner handles of the bounding box to scale.

Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it. Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site. If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

Need instructions on how to download photos and videos from my Samsung cell to my iPhoto

Need instruction for how to import photos and videos from my Samsung cell phone to iPhoto. Thx

Copy the files to the Mac and then drag them to the iPhoto window, or use the File -> Add to Library command
As for how to connect the phone and the Mac, for that you'll need to read the manual for the phone or seek support from a Samsung or Android (that's the operating system) site.

My Gf has my iphone. How can I see recent messages and calls from another device?

My Gf has my iphone. How can I see recent messages and calls from another device?

Depending on your carrier, you may be able to see recent calls by logging into your account on the carrier's web site, if they offer such a feature, though incoming calls being shown is not usual. There will, as diesel said, be no way to see messages already received, either SMS/MMS or iMessages, without having the phone.
