HT4906 Why would a pro photographer use the latest iPhoto and Photo Stream?

I don't use Aperture.  The upgrade to the latest and greatest iPhoto is a reasonable cost, but I have heard complaints about it all.
  Thank you!
Diane

No and No.
iPhoto is not good with Referenced libraries, and so will hardly scale to the volume of images a pro is likely to have. It also has comsumer level tools for processing. 
As for complaints: do you mean at the App store etc? If so those reviews aren't worth the paper they're not written on.
The problems with them are manifold: for a start, happy people are less likely to review, unhappy happy are much more inclined to. That's why we don't have thousands and thousands of posts on this forum from all the people who have no problems saying "look I have no problems". Unhappy people get cross and are more likely to express that anger in negative reviews.
Then what about the reviewer? What is his or her knowledge, experience and skill level? No doubt they are having problems, and real ones, but how do you know if their issues are problems with the app, their own inexperience, third party conflicts and so on. I've seen people on here claim the fact that iPhoto won't edit video is a bug. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of posts from folks on here who are certain they've found a bug, only for their glitch to be resolved. No review is worth anything unless you know something of the reviewer, his or her knowledge and experience.
So frankly, I never bother with those reviews on any such stores, not just iPhoto on the Mac App Store.

  • Why would I want to use the mail icon on my dock?

    Hi all,
    As I'm endeavoring to further my knowledge on the Mac, I'm curious as to know if I'm losing out on not using the mail icon on my dock.
    Any particular reason I should use it? I currently use yahoo and gmail. I think they're considered IMAP technology and I can access it anywhere any anyhow as long as I have access to the web. I also use my iphone to access it.
    So... why would I want to use the mail icon on my dock? Are the reasons going to be for the characteristics for POP? I.E, can off load mail to my Mac and read later without having live access to web?
    BTW, if I did want to setup mail on the dock. What is the incoming and outgoing mail server for yahoo? Sorry, could locate that info. in yahoo mail.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think you are asking why you should use the Mail application versus using "web mail" through a web browser, and not just about the Mail icon on the Dock, is that correct?
    You should use whatever is more convenient.
    Mail is a standalone application designed for email access, so it is more responsive and has more features. Web-based apps are getting much better, but you can still tell you are in a web browser. You can work off-line, even if you use an IMAP service (such as MobileMe). You can save emails locally, even if most emails are on the server, and if it's POP, all your messages are downloaded to a local database (that may or may not be an advantage to you).
    Mail is integrated with Address Book and iCal (and other Apple apps). You can use Time Machine to recover individual deleted emails, just like you would recover deleted files or folders (using the +flying through space+ interface).

  • I have a 2008 imac, and trying to use the latest iPhoto app. But it won't open. I have installed the library upgrade but still won't open?

    I have a 2008 mac, and am trying to use the latest iPhoto app. But it won't open. I have installed the library upgrade but still won't open?

    Why not? We can not see you so you have to give us details
    Did you run the iPhoto Library upgrader after you installed it - if not backup your iphoto library and go to the utilities folder in your Applications folder and double click on the iphoto library upgrader and RUN i - then launch iphoto 9.6 to complete the upgrade

  • When I import an old pic, I can't use the latest version and buttons in LR, Why?

    I did import an old photo, still in RAW format, but i can't use the latest version of LR, there are some buttons missing. Why is that. I haven´t used LR that much. Only a few times. Is there something I fail to do when I import pictures?
    Thank you in advance.

    What buttons are missing?
    What operating system?
    A few details would really help.

  • R9 270X Gaming 2G, unable to use the latest drivers and Mantle

    I just bought a R9 270X Gaming 2G S/N 602-V303-13SB1312109829-398
    When I first got the R9 270X, I installed the latest AMD drivers with the full package.
    Later I got the, what I found to be, notorious atimkdag.sys BSOD.
    I recovered my system partition with Acronis from before I installed the GPU. And installed the drivers found on MSI website which are considerably older than those on AMD’s website. I have not had an atimkdag.sys BSOD since. In fact I think I am using Windows stock drivers as the driver version says 13.251.9001.0, and I think the MSI driver is 13.101.0.0. Not sure how that happened.
    Now my understanding is that this GPU should be Mantle enabled, however using Star Swarm Stress Test, which includes Mantle testing, said it found no Mantle enabled GPU. Perhaps because I am using an older driver.
    I read somewhere that atimkdag.sys BSOD is linked to AMD Catalyst Control Center. Since I never used that last time I had an AMD GPU, I have disabled it on start-up.
    What do you guys think would be the best option here? How can I both enjoy the latest drivers and avoid the notorious atimkdag.sys BSOD. Or do you think I should just stick with the drivers I have, without Mantle enabled. I haven’t actually got any Mantle enabled games at the moment, but are planning to get it though.
    It may or may not be important. But I upgraded from Windows 7 to Win 8 Pro then Win 8.1 Pro. Perhaps it is leftover sys files. I noticed in forums that the atimkdag.sys BSOD mostly hit Win 7 systems. Perhaps the reason I am not getting the BSOD now is simply that I am not using AMD Catalyst Control Center, as you would think that if it is left over from Win 7 it should affect both old and latest drivers, right.
    Thanks

    Please disregard my previous post asking for help.
    This is also a message to other noobs like myself, read the F.A.Q. before you post anything in the forum. I read the F.A.Q. about how to update drivers, how to remove old driver fragments and followed it to the letter.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/where-can-i-download-vga-drivers-and-how-do-i-install-t
    Now Mantle works and as for the atikmdag.sys BSOD, hopefully I will not experience this now that I completely uninstalled all previous driver files, using Driver Sweeper in Safe Mode. I do not see why I should.
    If against odds it happens, then I will come back and ask you guys for help.
    Thanks

  • Cs5 Brush cursor problem, on MacBook pro lion, tried the latest update, and the genious dude had no idea of what to do! Apple any fix?

    Cs5 Brush cursor problem, on MacBook pro, tried the latest update, and the genious dude had no idea of what to do! Apple any fix?

    Additional Info - after working on this problem for 4 hours, I shut my laptop in frustration and took a break.  1 hour later I opened my mac and the cursor had magically returned.  No restart, no power on/off - nothing.  Frustration.  If anyone else has had this happen and has actually fixed the problem let me know. I'm sure it will reoccur.

  • Why do my firewalls only use the domain username and password for login and enable passwords, not a different enable password like my switches do? The RADIUS config looks the same...

    /* Style Definitions */

    mso-pagination:widow-orphan;
    font-size:10.0pt;
    font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";}
    Issue:
    Cisco firewalls require only one level of password i.e. the domain username and password are used for both logging in as well as reaching global configuration mode.
    Background:
    We have multiple Cisco network devices set up which authenticate to our Windows domain controller using NPS (Windows 2008 R2). The switches we have set up all function exactly as we would hope as they require your domain username and password to login to the device. They then require a separate password when you use the enable command, this is stored in Active Directory:
    Switches:
    Username:domain-username
    Password:domain-password
    SWITCH>enable
    Password:enable-password-in-Active-Directory
    SWITCH#
    Firewalls (as they currently are):
    Username:domain-username
    Password:domain-password
    FIREWALL>enable
    Password:domain-password
    FIREWALL #
    With the firewalls however, they require your domain username and password first, and then your domain password again when using the enable command. I want the firewalls to use the enable level password that the switches currently use instead of the domain password again. The current configuration look like the following:
    Current switch configuration:
    aaa new-model
    aaa authentication login default group radius local
    aaa authentication enable default group radius enable
    aaa authorization exec default group radius local
    aaa session-id common
    radius-server host 192.168.0.1 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
    radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
    radius-server key 7 1234abcd
    Current firewall configuration:
    aaa-server DC01 protocol radius
    aaa-server DC01 (outside) host 192.168.0.1
    aaa authentication ssh console DC01 LOCAL
    aaa authentication enable console DC01 LOCAL
    key 1234abcd
    Any help would be great, thanks!

    Cisco ASA works that way by design. You could remove "aaa authentication enable" and then you could use the "enable password" command to set your enable password.
    But if you do that, then ASA would change your username to "enable_15". That would break Authorization and Accounting if you're using them. Let me clarify with an example
    Firewalls :
    Username:domain-username
    Password:domain-password
    FIREWALL>show curpriv
    Username : domain-username
    Current privilege level : 1
    Current Mode/s : P_UNPR
    FIREWALL>enable
    Password:enable-password-from-running-config
    FIREWALL #show curpriv
    Username : enable_15
    Current privilege level : 15
    Current Mode/s : P_PRIV
    If you're using Authorization and Accounting it's recommended to stick with your current behavior.

  • I would like to not use the i cloud and just go back to the way my phone was before

    I recently upgraded to the 6.1.3 OS and then proceeded to lose all of my contacts.  My fault for not backing up!! But, I also ended up having the i cloud and I really don't want it.  I don't need any more complications.  I would like to delete the icloud from my phone and just go back to what I had before.  I have backed up now but the contacts are lost forever. But, i cloud is just one more thing to learn, worry about, eventually pay for etc. and it is not important to me.  I don't do movies or music.  Just use the phone for calls and email.
    WenSue

    You don't 'pay' for iCloud, unless you voluntarily upgrade from the free 5GB of storage.
    Also, having iCloud automatic backup on, with Contacts set to 'On', means that your Contacts will backup to the iCloud... which means if you lost them off of your phone, you could retrienve them.
    Read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859 and then decide if it's right for you. There are ways to back up your data to prevent accidental loss.  Use them.

  • HT6114 why does macbook pro restart with the latest software?

    Why does macbook pro block and restart with the latest software update?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for crash or panic reports. If you don't see that heading, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". It may be under either of the two subcategories, "System" and "User." A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic".
    Select the most recent of each and post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as a hang log — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Using the Source Monitor and Program Monitor

    strJiveDescriptionhttp://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/source-monitor-program-monitor.html

    Even back in the days of printed manuals, there were often sections, that repeated, as they had application to a few slightly different topics. I always found that better (then), than just having a note to "go to _____ for info on this." Probably used a few extra trees, but one did not have to constantly flip back and forth. Now that we're talking 1's and 0's, I can see where a limited bit of repetition would enhance the flow of knowledge, and understanding, even when hyper-linked.
    Just my observations,
