How to organize the iPhoto when it gets too big?

Hi, I have iPhoto library about 300GB which consumes most of my iMac space.
Would you please suggest the best way to organize the library?
I have been thinking to put the library on external device but worried about slow speed when iPhoto is opened.
I have been thinking to split the library but cannot open the libraries at the same time...
Any suggestions?
My iMac is 24inch early 2009, ML 10.8.1., 2.66 GHz, 4GB memory, 650GB HDD
Thanks.

Well that depends on you
first off you do not mention a backup system - that would be your first priority if you do not have one - without a good gackup you will lose all of you photos (and other file) sooner or later
My suggestion is to get a bigger hard drive
less good is to run iPhoto on an EHD with a fast connection (thunderbolt - firewire - USB2 or 3)
Splitting the library has many disadvantages - you can put the entire library on an EHD and have a second smaller library of current or more interesting photos on the main drive and use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to move new photos to the full library on the EHD so it stays current
You also can just delete poor and lower quality photos (with that many you must have some - I do ) - it is pretty fast to rate photos 1 to 5 stars and then delete the 1 star photos

How to open the file when i get it using Datasocket?

I get a file using datasocket,for example ,a bmp file.but How can i
open it on my computer? It just save in some buffers.
please explain in details.
Thanks in advance.

You need to convert the image file to a 2D array then transport the array via datasocket.
Take a look at this example program:

When i try to open the iPhoto app, i getting a message "you can't open the application because it is not supported on this type of mac"

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

How can I download itunes when I get the following errors ..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7..I .have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up.
This has been a problem for 6 weeks now, I retry when I have time and patience and use my other laptop which is also Windows 7 and runs with no problem.
Every attempt fails when all seems fine on the desktop and I try to log on to Itunes I get the errors.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

How do I fix iphoto when it crashes every time i try to import

How do I fix iphoto when it crashes every time i try to import

By doing stuff.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

How to reload the screen when changing languages in JavaFX 2?

I'm beginner with javaFX and i need to change language of the screen. but i have no idea how to reload the screen when the language was changed. The application have a button where have the language available. I want just refresh screen when the user change language.
Here is the start method to show the stage.
    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception
        this.stage = stage;
        Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
        ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("resources/Label",locale);
        loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
        root = (Parent)loader.load();
        FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
        controller.setMain(this);
        scene = new Scene(root);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
here is the function to change the language(in the same class with start function),the rb is the new ResourceBundle:
    public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
          //change the language here
1. I don't want to use the resourceBundle to get value in resource file and set label in scene one by one.like following:
this.btnLabel.setText(rb.getString(key.test));
2. I don't want to reload the scene,like following:
    public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
         try
            loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
            root = (Parent)loader.load();
            scene.setRoot(root);
            FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
            controller.setMain(this);
        catch(Exception err)
            err.printStackTrace();
So do we have a solution to just set the resourceBundle and reload the scene easier?
Thanks and best regards!

Your option 2 (reload the FXML for the scene using the new resource bundle as a parameter), is the way this would normally be done and what I would recommend.
Failing that, you could use option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items (I don't really recommend this).
Why don't you want to use option 2?
Perhaps it is because there is some internal state of the UI which differs from the initial state when the the UI is first loaded (e.g. user has typed text in a text field and you want to preserve that). If that's the case you will need to either go with your option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items, or implement something which preserves the UI state and user data by saving it in memory or to disk, reloading the UI via the FXMLLoader (essentially your option 2), then restoring the UI state and user data to what it was before the language change. Preserving and restoring the modified state seems complicated to me if you have a lot of state, so I wouldn't really advise this approach unless you really needed it.

How to organize the content of MANIFEST.MF

Most of the jar files contain a file named META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, and it provides some information about the class in the jar files, but when I execute the code below, I can't output all of the jar file name in the eclipse project's classpath.
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.Enumeration;
public class TestClassLoader {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
Enumeration<URL> en = TestClassLoader.class.getClassLoader().getResources("META-INF");
while (en.hasMoreElements()) {
URL metaInf = en.nextElement();
System.out.println(metaInf.toExternalForm());
So I want to know how to organize the content of MANIFEST.MF file to output the file name

getResources doesn't do what you apparently think it does. The resource path still has to be an exact match, but getResources allows for the possibility that the same resource path may occur multiple times on the class path.
You could use it to access all the MANFEST.MF files on the classpath but you'd need to full resource path "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"
The code you've written doesn't access the contents of the manifests, of course. To access the contents of manifests use java.util.jar.Manifest objects.

How to set the selectedIndex when dataProvider is an XML object in DropDownList?

dataProvider was an XML object
How to set the selectedIndex when dataProvider is an XML object in DropDownList?
I do this:
<s:DropDownList id="dropDownList" requireSelection="true" selectedIndex="2"
                labelField="lastName" dataProvider="{employeeService.lastResult.employees.employee}"/>
But always the first item is selected whatever the value of selectedIndex equals to.

if i understand correctly, you want the selectedindex to be 2 when the DropDownList displays.
It might be the case that the dataprovider is being sought after it's already selected its index (as the dataprovider isn't already determined to begin with), so currently it's
     - setting the selected index to default
     - setting the selected index to 2 (your command)
     - getting the dataprovider
     - setting the selected index to default
try writing a function to set the DropDownList's selected index after it's received the information, or even just attach it to the employeeService result handler.
for quick testing sake you could just add
<s:DropDownList id="dropDownList" requireSelection="true" updateComplete="dropDownList.selectedIndex = 2"
                labelField="lastName" dataProvider="{employeeService.lastResult.employees.employee}"/>
to see if my theory is correct.
