I'd copied some pictures from a PC to a folder in Finder in my new iMac. The 'Date Created' in iMac is not the same as the 'Date Created' in the PC. Why? Is there a way to fix that?

View Menu -> Sort Photos is a good way to start.
Some organising possibilities in iPhoto:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

  • I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then to iMovie9.  Footage in iMovie is stretched.  Is there a way to fix that?

    I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then dropped that footage into iMovie9.  The footage is there in iMovie but it is stretched.  I have tried to adjust using aspect ratio options but that doesn't work.  Is there a way to fix that in iMovie (or at any other point in the process)?

    It shouldn't be this way.  Did you shoot the video in portrait or landscape mode?  Many people shoot in portrait mode because they typically hold the phone upright.  This is really shouldn't happen if the videos are shot in landscape mode.

    Hey Diann,

    If you are using Adobe Reader, then try converting the file online and vice-versa.

  • The latest version of Pages does not allow a Pages document to become a 'stationery pad'!  Is there a way to do this this other than through the 'Get Info' window?

    The latest version of Mavericks does not allow a Pages document to become a 'stationery pad'!  Is there a way to do this this other than through the 'Get Info' window?  As Pages templates cannot be ordered in folders, my many templates are effectively unusable now and I need to find another way to order and access them.

    Are you aware of that you can still use Pages 09 on Mavericks? You don't have to go thru the grieves of using the crippled Pages 5. Pages 09 should bi in Applications/iWork 09 folder.

  • Product invoices sent to my customers are being marked as spam. Is there a way to fix that?

    Customers who buy my products get an invoice as a confirmation, but its being marked as spam. I know that the quick fix would be for the customers to mark it as "Not Spam" but I need something more concrete. Is there a way to fix this?

    If you state where you live that would be helpful. Walgreens has an app that you can send photos to for printing and then you can pick them up.
    I think this what you are asking about.

  • I had my ipod set up on mobile me and now it is stolen and I don't have icloud, is there a way to fix that?

    My ipod touch was stolen and I had it set up on mobile me, but now it's telling me that I can't use that and must switch to icloud.  Unfortunately, I'm not set up with icloud and cant track my ipod.  I think this is outrageous and it should have done that itself since i was already set up on the other, but it did not.  Is there a way to fix this and track my ipod?

    You open itunes to change you itunes password.
    You go to your e-mail server to change your e-mail passwords.
    You go to any other program/service that you accessed form the iphone and change those passwrods.

  • TS1702 Every time I try to install an app of the App Store. The iPad refuses to install it and it just says waiting... For hours. Is there a way to fix this problem?

    I am unable to install any applications from the App Store. Every time I try to install an app the iPad refuses to install it and it just says waiting... For hours. Is there a way I can fix this? If so, how?

    I have posted these suggestions many times in the iOS forum and a number of these things have worked for other is the past. Maybe one of them will work for you.
    Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

    When playing music on my iphone4s siri will turn on and off occassionally is there any way to fix this?

    weird. When I do it, I have to spell out comma and period if I don't want the punctuation... I just tried the exact same phrase and got "As I said, please don't disturb me." Is there a setting under dictation that says something like "spell out punctuation"?

  • I've purchased several comedy albums on itunes and they're sent to my music file, which I don't like since I like to shuffle all songs. I put the albums in audiobooks but each track is listed seprately instead of by album. Is there a way to fix that?

    I've purchased several comedy albums on itunes (or uploaded from my cd collection) and itunes stores them in the music file. I prefer not to have them stored there since I often put my ipod on shuffle all songs and I hate having comedy bits pop up. So I went into "get info" of each track and changed it from music to audiobooks. That transfered everything into audiobooks but when I synched my ipod, I realized that the comedy tracks are all listed individually instead of under their albums. This doesn't work obviously since I want to listen to the album as a whole. I was wondering if there's a way to store my comedy albums in my audiobooks but have them stay in album format. Can anyone help me on this?

    Try posting in a more appropriate forum, as this has noting to do with itunes U - the place where University/college/museums post education material.

  • When dictating, can I insert punctuation with my voice or can it be done manually? If I say the word comma, will I get "," or will I get "comma" and is there a way to fix that?

    When dictating on Ipad, can I insert punctuation with my voice, as in if I say "comma" will I get "," or will the word "comma" appear? Can I manually insert punctuation as I'm dictating, such as: If you wouldn't mind, (tap on comma on pad), may I ask a question? (tap question mark on pad). OR, do I just say everything I have to say and then go back and punctuate by hand? Obviously, saying "comma" and getting "comma" is NOT going to help out my sentences!

  • I often get an error message when I try to open Firefox 8.0.1 that it's already running...it isn't...and the only way I can open it is to restart my computer. Is there a way to fix that problem or to download an older version that doesn't do that?

    I tried downloaded the browser again from IE, but that hasn't helped the problem.

    [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] has steps that you can try. It sounds like you may have something that is hanging your browser on exit (probably an extension or a locked profile) and the steps on that page should help clear it up.
