How to get ratings from iView Media Pro?

Hi...
I'm wanting to move from iView Media Pro to iPhoto because:
1) iPhoto's better and nicer editing features
2) IPhoto is significantly faster on my quad with my raw files
3) Better integration with other iLife apps
I'll very much miss iView's nicer organization and other features. I'm hoping I won't miss them so bad. I might though. For a year I've been manually using Photoshop elements to edit and importing into iPhoto whenever I wanted to use the other iLife apps. I'm tired of doing that. Also, iPhoto is so much faster now (it didn't used to be.)
But I have two problems I'm working through...
(1) I loose all my precious iView ratings when importing to iPhoto. I tried "Synch Annotations" in iView, but iPhoto still didn't read the ratings. Worse...
(2) iPhoto's image date is the last modified date of the file! And after using "Sych Annotations" all my modified dates are now today! I found and installed PhotoToolCM. This lets me change the file's creation and modified date to the capture date (alas, I have to go through each folder of files manually and "Select All" to do this. I'm willing to do this.)
Any solution to (1)?
Thanks,

Import "People' from iView media pro

So the People category in iview does not exist in LR, or anywhere else it seems.
Is there a way to add it to LR's metadata so that my Iview cataloged photos will come over to LR with "people" intact. Or do I just move all the People into the keywords in iView and have them show up as keywords in LR?
any help appreciated,
John

It looks to me like iView Media Pro is using a custom XMP metadata field named 'People' with a registered custom XMP prefix of 'mediapro'.
This is all part of the normal XMP standard that Adobe was brilliant in creating.
Lightroom currently has no way to access and/or use Custom File Info Panels. I think this is the heart of the issue for you. Your images have the info but Lightroom currently cannot understand the info.
I would guess that in some future version of Lightroom the Adobe engineers will add the ability to use Custom File Info Panels and after that you should be able to access the mediapro:People custom XMP metadata field and values.
I just looked at the Custom File Info Panel that iView installed on my Mac years ago. It is where most Custom File Info Panels live in "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/iViewPanel V3.txt". This panel is how the field shows up in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Bridge CS3 also added Custom File Info Panel support but needs separate lines in the Custom File Info Panel to use them.
I've copy and pasted the code that defines the 'mediapro:People' custom XMP metadata field below.
group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, reverse: rtl_aware)
static_text(
name : '$$$/iView/MediaPro/Fieldname/People=&People: ',

IView Media Pro 2.x into Aperture

I consider to buy Aperture. However, my main issue/question is how to get my 40'000 pictures including all my keywords from iView Media Pro 2.6 (I think) into Aperture. I have used many of the given "Keywords" in iView like country, people, event but I also created some of my own.
Is there a way to get all that information into Aperture too? My hope is, that there are some plug-ins or Apple Scripts around. But so far I did not find anything. Or can Aperture read csv?
Thanks a lot for any advice.
Jacques
PS: Where is the new MBP? ;-(

There is an Applescript called Annoture. I tried using it for some work last week and it seems to be broken with Leopard. Maybe a fix is coming soon, otherwise you could get a spare drive and install Tiger to run the script.

IView Media Pro erases adjustments and ratings in Bridge CS3 and Camera RAW 4.2

OUCH! I seem to have lost about a day's worth of work. I rated and adjusted my Canon cr2 RAW files using Bridge CS3 and ACR 4.2. Then I used iView Media Pro 3.1.3 to add keywords. When I opened the files back up in Bridge CS3, my ratings and adjustements were gone. Actually, when I open the sidecar files in a text editor, I can see the adjustments, but ACR and Bridge can't read them. Anyone else seeing this? If so, how do you fix it or work around it???

Have you tried purge cache for folder?
iView Media Pro is now Expression Media 1, maybe this 'upgrade' works for you.
You know that you can add keywords and sets in Bridge as well?

How do I get apps from my MacBook pro to my ipad

How do I get apps from my MacBook pro to my ipad

If they apps were bought on iTunes on your Mac then you can connect the iPad to your Mac, select the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and use the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to sync them to the iPad - or you can re-download them directly on the iPad via the App Store app.
If you bought the apps in the Mac App Store then you can't sync them to the iPad as Mac apps are not compatible with the iPad

How to get photos from iPhoto back onto a SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with built in SD card slot. I have tried "Export" but this does not work.

It's best to export the photos to a folder and then drag the folder onto the memory card. Memory cards are usually formatted for PCs, FAT 32, which doesn't permit more than a limited number of files in the root directory. Putting the photos in a folder gets around that limitation.

Why IView Media Pro when iPhoto 6.0.2 seems like enough?

Probably a simple answer but it escapes me: Why would one use IView Media Pro 3.0.2 when iPhoto 6.0.2 seems to do many of the same things?
I am in the process of switching over from Microsoft/Windows to Mac. I have an extensive Location Scouting Database of pf photos (seems like somewhere between a trillion to a septillion after an hour of keywording...)
I don't edit, annotate, or rename, just categorize. It seems to me I can create a heirarchy of thumbnail folders and albums, keyword the photos and be done with it in iPhoto 6 without having to use additional software. Am I missing something by not using iView or just simplifying things by sticking with one software program(iPhoto)?

It depends on what your goal is in image management. iVMP is more flexible in assigning Catalog Sets (somewhat like albums) which can be hierarchical in nature and can be synced back to the original file. I use sets for family organization and keywords for individuals and elements within a photo. There's also Supplemental Categories which are also like albums. I use them for organizing photos for projects, web pages, etc. They can't be synced to the files. You have complete control of your folder system and are able to move files between folders from within iView and the links will be automatically updated. iView has auto update for folders. Drop a file in a folder and it will be added to the catalog on the next update cycle.
The version control is nice in iView as I can have several different edit versions at the same time.
I use iView as my primary and iPhoto, in the alias mode on the same source files, for books, calendars and cards. The best of both worlds IMO.
As iVMP is a little costly get started with iPhoto until you have a feel on how you want to proceed with your image management. iView will also catalog music, video, text, pdf, html and many other file formats. It's slideshow capability is not nearly as nice as iPhoto's but it's full screen editing is more advanced.
Good luck.

I don't quite understand what you are saying? If i recieve and read an iMessage on the iPhone and then switch on my Mac, I don't get a notification about a new message, but that iMessage appears on the conversation.

How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray? I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray? I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

Sure can.
With a document open in Pages, select to print so that you can see the print dialog as shown below.
Note that to see this view, you may need to press the Show Details button in the bottom left corner. In the image above, since I have the expanded view displayed, this button changes to Hide Details
So with the view shown, first change the Presets menu to Default Settings. Then click the Layout drop menu and select Quality & Media. Make the changes you want and then click on the Presets menu and select Save Current Settings as Preset...
At the next window, give the Preset a name and select the Only this Printer radio button and then click OK to save it. That's it.
As for the Preset that you already have, if you no longer want this preset then you can delete it via the Show Presets menu pane that you've used already.

2 questions : expose / iview media pro

hi, i just purchased a new MPP OSX 10.7.2.... compare to the previous system's "Expose and Spaces", why does the new system not have "all windows" feature? and "space" number on the top right of the menu bar? or is it i have not found the switches?
often i have other documents hidden behind the top document. old "all windows" exposes all of them.
it seems that OSX 10.7.2 does not work with my old iview media pro software. and it seems the software is no longer availabe for purchase. any suggestion? i need iview pro, i have so much work depending on this software.
thank you.

Swipe down is Application windows, Swipe up is Mission Control. You can set shortcuts for those in the System Prefs. Desktops auto-arrange based on usage. You can disable that in the preferences. In MC, you can highlight a window and hit spacebar to bring it forward. I don't think the Desktop number displays anymore.
iView Media Pro appears to have been absorbed into the Collective. I can't see how the thing it has become is anything like what it was. Looks like a seek and destroy acquisition.
If it was a PowerPC only app, then it won't run under Lion. You could create an external Snow Leopard boot disk to run it off of.

Make sure Settings > iCloud > Photos > iCloud Photo Library (Beta) = "Off"
Then sync your iPhone using iTunes and make sure your sync settings for photos are set correctly in iTunes.
