How can you import pictures from the iphoto app to your mac book pro into iphoto on a mac book pro using mavericks?

I've tried to look this up on the app, and it tells me to use the iTunes file sharing and I can see anything with this trying to use both. I'm trying to keep my pictures in chronological order. Does in know how I can use this? Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thank you!

OK. This is two separate issues. To import pictures on your iPhone into your MBP, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture app (in the Applications folder).
To use iPhoto, connect your iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable & launch iPhoto. Your iPhone will be listed it in the "Devices" panel on the left. Choose it & you will get a window where you can import all or selected photos as either "split events" or as a single event. If you need help with this, try opening iPhoto's built-in help & selecting the "Import Photos" item. That will open the Import photos from iPhone or other mobile phone help topic. Expand the Import photos from iPhone section & study it. It should answer all your questions about this better than I can!
To use the Image Capture app, you connect the iPhone & select it just like above. The app has several options for importing images, but what you may find useful if you do not want to import directly into iPhoto is that you can just drag any of the iPhone's displayed items onto the desktop or into a folder like you would any other file & they will be copied to that location.
As for organization of items in iPhoto, there are four ways they can be grouped for display (by event, by photo, by face, & by place). All except by faces offers a "By date" sort choice in the iPhoto View > Sort Photos menu item.

How can you tell what apple id is associated with your MAC

I bought a MAC desktop for my business and immediately started using FACETIME. I did a software update and after the update it stated that I couldn't use my FACETIME because the Apple ID had not been set up. I tried setting it up under the email that I had previously been using but it said it was invalid. I then tried to set it up as a new apple id through Itunes and it said it was already taken. So I tried the "forgot password" for the apple id and it says nothing is available for that ID. So I am in a "catch 22" and now I cannot use my business email on my business computer for FACETIME. Any ideas?

How are you using MAS with 10.5.6?

How do you check your dedicated GPU is working?

How do you check your dedicated GPU is working?
Some strange things have been happening since my MBP (2009, SSD, 8GB, 17") was updated to Lion:
1. Icon images load slower than usual, e.g when opening the applications folder the images take a fraction longer than would be normal
2. If re-naming a folder, you see the new title, then the old one, then it switched back to the new one.
3. When playing HD video, or rapid desktop switching the picture looks split in two.
I checked that my GPU was on dedicated, but it had changed back to Intel integrated? Then a re-start and I checked it was on dedicated GPU, which it was BUT the above problems still remain.
Plugged in a 24" LED Display via display port and it does not come on - only the USB ports work. Does a display need a dedicated GPU to work?
Zapped Parameter Ram, rebuild permissions, and reset SMC all to no avail. Techtools pro 6.0 finds both cards but can't check them. I assume its not Lion compatible yet?
MBP is still under Apple Care, but I want to know if I can identify the problem is the NVIDA GPU. But how?

How do I check if there is an error message?

WIth
<h:message for="something"/>
I can display the (error) message for "something".
How do I check if there is a error message fomr "something" in a JSF page?
I am asking cause I want to use an other styleClass for an h:inputText field.
Can there be something like:
<h:inputText styleClass="${messages.something.error ? errorstyle : normalstyle} ...
Thnaks for any answers

Here you can find the code of my solution to the question.
Hope it can be useful...
Note: The existence of the nested class the names of the attributes
have been chosen only to make the Faces JSP more "human readable"...
in the faces-config.xml
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>decorate</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>package.Decorate</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
at the end of your jsp page (as last component in the page)
<h:inputHidden value="#{decorate.inputs.onerror}" />
the "decorator"
public class Decorate {
     * @return Returns the inputs.
    public Input getInputs() {
        return new Input();
     * @param inputs
     *            The inputs to set.
    public void setInputs(Input inputs) {
    public class Input {
         * Decorates all the components of the Faces JSP that have at least one
         * associated message.
        public String getOnerror() {
            FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            UIComponent root = context.getViewRoot();
            decorate(context, root);
            return "";
         * Decorates the specify components and all its children recursively.
         * @param context
         *            the current <code>FacesContext.</code>
         * @param node
         *            the component to decorate.
        private void decorate(FacesContext context, UIComponent node) {
            Iterator it = context.getMessages(node.getClientId(context));
            if (it.hasNext()) {
                try {
                    Method getStyleClass = node.getClass().getMethod(
                            "getStyleClass", new Class[] {});
                    String style = (String) getStyleClass.invoke(node,
                            new Object[] {});
                    style = (style != null) ? style + " message" : "message";
                    Method setStyleClass = node.getClass().getMethod(
                            "setStyleClass", new Class[] { String.class });
                    setStyleClass.invoke(node, new Object[] { style });
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
            for (Iterator iter = node.getChildren().iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
                decorate(context, (UIComponent) iter.next());
         * This method has been exposed only to comply to the <i>JavaBeans
         * architecture </i>.
         * @param onerror
        public void setOnerror(String onerror) {
how it works:
The core of the class is the decorate(FacesContext, UIComponent) method:
for each component on the current view I simply test whether the component
has got a setStyleClass method, therefore I don't care about the actual
components library! It can be tomahawk, standard JSF, whatever! and
I don't need to create my own components
( or to extend all existing components!)
only to manage the task of the "on error stlye class".
If all the "stylable" components had implemented an interface, it would have
been better, but its not like that therefore this is the only way I could think of.
Any idea would be appreciated.
Then, if there exists a message associated to the component, I simply
extend its style class adding the CSS style class message.

Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y'a

Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y’all
I wanted to know how I could record different folders using iTunes
Cause when recorded 2000 thongs on the DVD
There were 2000 songs to go through
So I really wanted to have had folders and then the music recorded inside them
So I could get right to where I wanted real quickly
Could anyone please teach me how to do that real quickly?
Can we do it with iTunes?
I know we can do it with Nero.

1) Go to file, select new playlist. Creat the playlaist.
2) Download your music into iTunes.
NOTE: CHECK 'Recently Added' before you download your music.
If the select boxes has a check in them, turn it off by
holding down the 'ctrl' key and selecting one of the
checked boxes. This shold turn off all the checks.
It would be better to clear 'Resently Add' of all
previous downloads, but I don't know how to do that
yet.
3) under 'PLAYLIST' on the right, select 'Recently Add'.
all of your song should show there with a check in the selection
box.
4)Hold the shift key and select the frist (selete records name),
then the last recorded tune. All of the recordings shouls light
up blue.
5) While holding the 'shift' key, drag one of the records to your new
playlist. All of the blue highlighted song will transfer to the new
playlist.

How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

As currently designed, you cannot. Once iCloud detects you are on mobile Safari, it switches you to the iPad screen.
If you had another browser that would allow you to pretend you were a desktop Safari client, ie8 or 9, or Firefox, that might work.
But, Puffin and Opera mini don't work.

Hi there, how do you downgrade to a previous iTunes version on a Mac?

What exactly do we repair permissions of inn disk utility?
OK. The easy explanation:
Mac OS X is a UNIX based operating system and like all other UNIX operating systems, its usage is controlled by permissions. Which user has some, all or no permission to read, write to and otherwise modify files and folders. Applications also have or do not have certain permissions.
In Mac OS X "Library" folder is a sub folder called "Receipts". When software is installed using Apple's Installer application it deposits a .pkg file in Receipts, containing information about the software and what it's permissions should be.
If for some reason those permissions are corrupted or changed to something they should not be, using Disk Utility to repair permissions compares what the current permissions are with the information contained in the .pkg files. Should Disk Utility find differences, it uses the information to correct those permissions.
Disk Utility does not repair permissions on applications that are installed via another routine, such as a custom installer or drag and drop. Neither does it repair permissions on any files or folders that you create.

Part 2
Thanks for the feedback Skhorchid. Glad it worked for you too.
A bit later I discovered that Photo Stream was not working on my Windows 7 PC either. If I opened the iCloud control panel and put a check in the box to turn on Photo Stream, and then closed and reopened the control panel, the check mark was gone again. Also, nothing happened when I clicked on the options button beside the Photo Stream check box. I already had version 2 of the iCloud control panel so I could not upgrade further.
I ended up uninstalling the iCloud control panel, rebooting, downloading a fresh copy from Apple, and reinstalling it. This worked and I now have photo stream working on my Windows 7 system as well.

You have to have 10.7.2 to have the iCloud icon appear.
You need to upgrade to Lion, via download from the app store, $29 (US).

How do you find if a LOGICAL DATABASE exists for your program requirements?

how do you find if a LOGICAL DATABASE exists for your program requirements?
please explain.

Hi Ramana
One may not accurately pin point the LDB for ones requirement. But there some ways.
1. You can find with respect to the application you are working on. You can refer to the Table field TRDIR-APPL. The following are the values it has. So suppose if you have requirement for HR you can search for application 'P' :
A Assets accounting
D DASS control station
E RIVA
F Financial accounting
G General Ledger
H Human resources planning
I Maintenance
J RK projects
K Cost accounting
L Warehouse management
M Materials management
N Hospital
P Human resources
Q QSS
S System
V Sales
Y Customer head office
Z Customer branch
2. You can see the package in which your current is stored in SE80. Under the same package you can see if there are any LDBs.

How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account on the same computer?

How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account to the same computer?

I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them. I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory. I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods. [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

Your profile says you are using OS X Mountain Lion, so if that's true then you have all of Apple's anti-virus protection and if Software Update says you are fully up-to-date on all your Security, Java, etc. updates, then you are fully protected against all currently known malware that can impact OS X and Apple apps.
Keep Java (not JavaScript) disabled in all your browsers unless you must visit a site that requires it, and turn it back off as soon as you are finished to make certain you aren't one of the first to discover the next Java threat that will most certainly show up one day soon.
