I have, by mistake, caused all my photos in a large book I am making to revert to the original. This after a long time spent editing etc. I don't understand how iPhoto library works. I have aTime Machine. I also have an EHD backed up 2 days ago.

Yosemite 10.10.3
i am making a photo book with iPhoto, had already started it when Photos superseded iPhoto so I carried on. Have spent a lot of time on it, it's a large book.
BY mistake I caused all the photos to revert to original.
I have Time Machine and I backed up Photolibrary to EHD 2 days ago.
BUt it I don't understand iPhotos library. If I replace existing library from Time Machine,  all my projects, albums etc. be there as they were before my BIG mistake?
I have read that Time Machine is not suitable for back ups of iPhoto so should I try to use my EHD? In finder it just shows 'iPhotoLibrary'. So the same question arises - does the Library incorporate all my projects and the work I've done on them up to the date of back up?
I would be so grateful for help and advice

    I need to download all of my photos from my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to my MacBook Air because there is no more storage space available. I want to make sure all my photos are not lost and that they do not return to the original devices because of the cloud. Can someone please help ?

    Connect your devices to the computer with the USB cable (one device at a time) and import the photos via iPhoto or Image Capture.
    If you have not changed any default settings on your computer, iPhoto will automatically launch when you plug in the device. Then follow the import prompts.

  • Don't understand how flash video works

    I hate to bother you guys here but I'm trying to convert a
    quicktime video to flash. When into flash professional, brought the
    video in just as the directions say, exported the video as a file,
    not as and html page or what ever.
    I get a flash file thats like 35K on my desk top and click it
    and it plays. This is a much much bigger video file. Does the flash
    file just link to the actual video file? Seems that that must be
    what needs to be done. I know that when I click on the file if I've
    mover the qt file to another folder - nothing happens.
    What is the best way to create the smallest size quicktime
    file that would work with this situation. The place holder is
    280x190 . I'm tired, but keep trying though. Any help or place for
    additional reading?

    You don't say which version of Flash you have, but here's a
    Good Practice page from Adobe for Flash 8, which gives guidelines
    on compressing video.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flash8_bestpractices_06.html
    In QT Pro, the Help articles will guide you through the
    various compression choices, for both Video and Audio. They open
    under Options when you choose a format for Export, probably AVI or
    other format Flash will be able to import. You may have to
    experiment with bit rate choices, to see how quality changes.
    I don't do video, but the other day I had a 4.5 MB MP3 sound
    track I couldn't safely compress further. I added it to my Flash
    movie, exported, and was startled to find it all played at high
    quality, totalling 400 kbs, less than half a MB. But I first set
    the option to streaming. So Flash itself will do some
    compressing.

  • I don't understand how ADF Security  works

    In short I used ADF Security wizard to make a secured fusion webapp (Form authentification, XML id store, no grants). It made me the error,login and welcome page and I added one more (a page with a table). I granted that page view access to one role defined in jazn.xml. I noticed that at deploy the content of 'jazn.com' is merged into 'myrealm'. Everything goes well when I try a user defined in jazn.xml, but when I add a new user directly from the WLS console (same group as the others defined in jazn.com) I can login but I cannot access the page with the table because I'm not authorized. I think it's a role mapping issue but I'm quite not sure... I tried to look after the valid-users=users mapping but I haven't managed to find the users role into wls.
    How is the application getting the users and roles (groups) from the wls realm? Why I can log in but not authorize ?
    Thanks
    Kquizak

    Hi,
    at devlopment / testing time the way the user provisioning works is that existing users and groups of the same name are initially removed and then re-created. So in your case you have a user created in WLS that is added to a group that is re-newed by the develop-test cycle. This means that when running the application, you no longer have the user to be a member of the group. In a next version of JDeveloper 11 we probably make the user/group provisioning an option, in which case your settings will be preserved. Note that this problem doesn't exist if you deploy the app to a stand alone server, like in production

  • I don't understand how udev rule work

    I had a problem with xsane only running as root a while ago and so copied a udev rule into /etc/udev/rules.d
    The scanner was then detected and added to the scanner group and I could use it. I've very recently had to do the same with a different scanner. But in both cases the same rule already existed in /lib/udev/rules.d/53-sane.rules
    Why was this not used in the first place? Is there something wrong with my udev that it would not look in /lib/udev/rules.d and find the correct rule... or are people supposed to copy them over from /lib/udev/rules.d to /etc/udev/rules.d ?!?

    Read that front to back and you'll know how it works .

  • Why do the photos on my iPhone 4 revert to the original after I try editing them on iPhoto?

    Ever since I've had my iPhone 4 the photos won't edit (denoise, and sharpness). They continue to revert to the original, this is not the case for cropping and other editing methods. I have tried everything, updating iPhoto and my computer, changing accounts, using a different computer etc. I have now decided that it must be my phone and not my computer. What can I do to fix it?

    To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

    Command-Shift-3 and 4 works just fine on several Macs that I have here.
    Try restarting your Mac....or post in the specific support area for your Mac model....for more advice.

    Hi, i have purchased iPhone 5 about 15 days ago, its working well but only one problem that it has is that some time its losting signal and appear as no serves. would you please help me in this reqard. thanks

    Well, it could be that your carrier doesn't have a signal when it looses its signal.  You could try resetting network settings which might help - Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings.  You'll need to set up any wi-fi networks you connect too again. If you're still having issues, contact your carrier.
    Good luck!

  • Trying to understand how iPhoto keeps track of pictures...

    I am trying to understand how iPhoto stores & organizes pictures.
    I moved JPEGs from a portable drive to my hard drive, set iPhoto's preferences to not copy pictures when importing them, then imported them. Unfortunately, all pictures from a certain import has duplicated in iPhoto.... so I "moved to trash" all pictures from that import and tried importing again since the JPEGs were still where I moved them to. When importing, it said they were duplicated .
    I am confused. If I "move to trash", I assumed it got rid of whatever index (and preview cache) to that particular JPEG. I was actually surprised it did not delete the actual JPEG but I'm ok with that.
    Can someone help explain this behavior?
    Thanks
    -Ed

    iPhoto is a relational database program
    In the strongly recommended managed library (you have chosen to ignore this recommendation and use a referenced library) imported photos are copied to the iPhoto library and stored in the originals folder, a thumbnail jPEG is created and places in the data folder and when any modification is made (including autorotation) a modified version of the photo is created and placed in the modified folder. iPhoto updates its database entries to reflect everything it does.
    It is critical that you do not make any modifications of any sort to the content or structure of the iPhoto library - doing so is likely to corrupt the library and cause you to lose data.
    When you use the referenced mode which you are doing (and which is not recommended) you are taking total responsibility for the original photos which included not moving or modifying them while iPhoto is referencing them
    Unfortunately, all pictures from a certain import has duplicated in iPhoto.... so I "moved to trash" all pictures from that import
    Did you do this with the iPhoto trash? or did you use the finder to modify the contents of the iPhoto library.
    If I "move to trash", I assumed it got rid of whatever index (and preview cache) to that particular JPEG. I was actually surprised it did not delete the actual JPEG but I'm ok with that.
    again - iPhoto trash or finder trash. If you move a photo to the iPhoto trash and empty it all traces of that photo in the iPhoto library will be removed - nothing will be done to any file outside of the iPhoto library -- ever

  • Hello. I keep my IPhoto library (about 90GB) on an external HD and am trying to back it up to another external drive. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled). Recently, backup has failed from the start due to error 36. Howtoresolve?

    Hello. I keep my iPhoto library (about 90GB) on an external HD and am trying to back it up to another external drive. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) and both check out when scanned with Disk Utility. Recently, backup has failed from the start due to error 36. Any ideas how to  resolve? Also, what's the maximum recommended size for an iPhoto library file? Thx!

    Since you can't drag the library to the other EHD for the backup see if you can duplicate it (if you have enough room on the drive) by selecting it and typing Command+d (duplicate). 
    If you do rebuild the library without a backup and it goes awry you won't lose your photos but you may lose your orgnaizational efforts. So try the following:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library in the location of your choosing  based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    NOTE:  Fix 2 above might be the method you might want to try first with iPLM creating the new library on your second EHD. If it works that would get your backup copy on the second EHD at the same time as repairing it. If it does'nt work then go back to Fix 1.

  • Trying to understand how MIDI Clock works in Logic

    Hi,
    I'm syncing a Roland MC-909 Groove Box with Logic.  I'm also using a MOTU MIDI Express interface.  The MC-909 syncs to Logic, thus it is in Slave mode. Under Preferences->Sync->MIDI Sync Project Settings, I've discovered something odd, and I'm trying to understand it.  It could be just a lack of understanding regarding the MIDI Spec.
    Under MIDI Clock, I necessarily need to set the destination to the MC-909.  I cannot use 'All'  or else the MIDI Express starts playing back at 8x the tempo set in Logic.  Not sure why this happens but its probably something weird with the MOTO interface.  Anyway in Logic, MIDI Time Code (MTC) is disabled, Song Position Pointer (SPP) is disabled, and MMC is disabled.
    So basically I'm only sending MIDI Clock to the MC-909.  Here's what is wierd:  As I locate to different places in the Arrange window (not in play mode), the MC-909 is locating to the correct time offset within the pattern!  This basically guarantees that you can start the Logic song anywhere, and the MC-909 will start playing back the pattern at the right time.  I don't understand how this can be happening given that I've disabled SPP in Logic.  The only sync communication between Logic and the MC-909 is MIDI Clock, but I don't believe that MIDI Clock is even capable of transmitting offset information that specifies the time-offset into a drum machine pattern, Does it?  Or is Logic sending SPP info as I click on different locations in the Arrange window?
    Another point, is that if I select to transmit MIDI Clock to another device other than the MC-909, but still using the MOTU MIDI Express, then the MC-909 plays back synchronously (i.e. its getting MIDI Clock from Logic, even though Logic isn't sending MIDI Clock to the MIDI port connected to the MC-909), but it does not track the pattern offset described in the previous paragraph.  The only way I can get the pattern offset to work, is if I select the MIDI Clock to be sent to the MIDI port connected to the MC-909.
    I would like to figure this out because I'm thiinking about buying an external MIDI synchronizer, but I don't want to lose the ability to have logic specify the offset into the pattern on the MC-909
    Thanks,
