i am using lightroom 4 and i cant import my photos because their paths contains blackslashes (499)
can yotell me what is this and why its doing this and how i can fix it

Does the path contain a backslash. If so, change it.   It would help to show the path you are trying to import from.  You could try changing the file handling setting in Preferences to the second setting where backslash is considered illegal and is replaced.  Its probably better to just not use these characters anyway.

  • Using Lightroom and iPhoto

    I use Lightroom and iPhoto. I mainly use Lightroom for everything. If it's personal photos I use iPhoto but mostly Lightroom. If I want to share these and/or sync with other devices like AppleTV, iPhone, MobileMe then I have to export from Lightroom to iPhoto. That doubles up on files and hard drive space. What do others do that use Lightroom and iPhoto? I love being able to share and sync with iPhoto but it's just to much to ask of my Hard Drives.

    Few people use both Lightroom and iPhoto - they both do essentially the same thing but are different and in the past iPhoto has found LR processed photos unacceptable - and they can not operate on the same physical photos - you must export photos form LR and import them into iPhoto since they both manage photos
    If you want to use both you will have to have photos imported into each
    Fortunately external hard drives are cheap -- iPhoto is perfectly happy having its library on an EHD

  • Using Lightroom and Aperture, will a new ATI 5770/5870 vs. GT 120 improve performance?

    I have a MP (2009, 3.3 Nehalem Quad and 16GB RAM) and wanted to improve performance in APERTURE (see clock wheel processing all the time) with edits, also using Lightroom, and sometimes CS5. 
    Anyone with experience that can say upgrading from the GT120 would see a difference and how much approximately?
    Next, do I need to buy the 5870 or can I get the 5770 to work?
    I am assuming I have to remove the GT120 for the new card to fit?
    Thanks

    Terrible marketing. ALL ATI 5xxx work in ALL Mac Pro models. With 10.6.5 and later.
    It really should be yours to just check AMD and search out reviews that compare these to others. You didn't look at the specs of each or Barefeats? He has half a dozen benchmark tests, but the GT120 doesn't even show up or in the running on most.
    From AMD 5870 shows 2x the units -
    TeraScale 2 Unified Processing Architecture   
    1600 Stream Processing Units
    80 Texture Units
    128 Z/Stencil ROP Units
    32 Color ROP Units
    ATI Radeon™ HD 5870 graphics
    That should hold up well.
    Some are on the fence or don't want to pay $$
    All they or you (and you've been around for more than a day!) is go to Apple Store:
    ATI Radeon HD 5870 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro (Mid 2010 or Early 2009)

  • I am unable to delete my photos which are synced through computer..i have upgraded to ios 7 and im using iphone 5...i tried doing it by using itunes but i cant see any photos at all...help requested

    I am unable to delete my photos which are synced through computer..i have upgraded to ios 7 and im using iphone 5...i tried doing it by using itunes but i cant see any photos at all...help requested

    If you didn't already do so, try uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components (not just iTunes and AMDS), then reinstall iTunes, as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.  Follow the article and uninstall them in the order indicated.

  • Cant import my photos on pc

    hi I'm having trouble syncing my iPhone 4 to PC running windows 7. Since updating to the latest version of iTunes and updating to ios5 I cant import my photos when I plug in my iPhone it says in iTunes that it is syncing and it goes through the 8 steps showed in the status bar in iTunes including the importing photos stage. but my photos are still not appearing on my computer. before the update when I plugged in the phone windows popped up a window importing photos and would do it automatically . I would  appreciate any help as this is driving me up the wall!!!! again thanks in advance

    I would caution against "always do" and leave it uncheced. Otherwise when you connect iPod etc device it may not - did not for me - show up in iTunes anymore. That is more of a warning.
    I would though consider backup, uncheck all the content you do sync, and resetting. And then sych media content back - one at a time, until you have it the way you need to.
    Maybe even remove aside the iTunes backup data and do a fresh backup iPod to iTunes first.

  • Just downloaded trial version -- don't see iPhoto library in Aperture and need to import selected photos-not entire library!

    I just downloaded trial version -- don't see iPhoto library in Aperture and need to import selected photos to edit, not entire i Photo library! I read manual and it says:
    Browsing and Selecting Images in Your iPhoto Library
    You use the Aperture iPhoto Browser to review iPhoto images and import specific images into the Aperture library. The iPhoto Browser gives you a handy way of looking for certain images without having to import your entire iPhoto library.
    So, where do I review the iPhoto images...there is nothing in there that says "iPhoto Library"   Everything I see pertains to Aperture Library which of course is empty since I haven't imported (or dragged) any photos in there yet.
    Also is tech support available for Aperture?  I have Apple Extended Support and I sure would love it if I had individual help.  I have a deadline --3 days to edit 300 photos and I'm a complete amateur.  iPhoto doesn't  have the capability to erase parts of a face (I need to contour the neck of a mannequin to make it proportionate to the separate head I put on top of it. I'm sure Aperture must have a tool to help me do that!  At least I hope so.

    where do I review the iPhoto images
    File -> Import -> Show iPhoto Browser

    Sounds more like a job for Photoshop to me
    if I decide to import entire iPhoto library into Aperture will it delete my iPhoto library?
    No.

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash, if possible.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
    Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

    I need help hacking into my ipod i forgot the password and i cant factory reset it because the power button is broken?!

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • My iphone has broken and i cant get my photos off icloud?

    my iphone has broken and i cant get my photos off icloud?

    apparently you can download the tracks one more time free of charge does anybody know how??"
    Not true.  You get one and only one download.
    In some instances, itunes has allowed another download to a few.  This is not the norm.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.
    Hope all goes well.

  • I bought a new iphone and want to import my photos that were on my other phone

    I bought a new iphone and want to import my photos that were on my old iphone; hoping they are on the icloud somewhere

    I am assuming that if it was done at the Verizon store that it was an iCloud backup.
    On the phone, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    When the phone reboots it will be back to factory. Go through the setup and when it asks if you want to setup as a new phone or from a backup, choose to restore from iCloud Backup.
    The screen will look like this:
    Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    If you are not sure if it is backed up and you have anything worth while on there now then you should backup before you start.
