I just started with Lesson 1. Can I use iPhoto for jpeg files I've downloaded to my hard drive?

I'm using Mavericks on my MackBook Pro, and I'm new to iPhoto. I do not have a camera and would like to organize images I have received in emails or have downloaded to my hard drive; most are jpeg formats.
Lesson 1 only adresses digital images from a camera, and so on. Should I be discouraged, or can iPhoto be of help to me?
Thank you for any assistance!

Yes iPhoto will work with these images.
You can drag them the the iPhoto Window
or
Drag them to the iPhoto Dock icon
or
Use the File -> Import to Library command.

  • Sender file adapter - Can I use *.xml for the file name

    Hi Gurus,
    I have some interfaces where I need to pick the file from a directory. The name of the file will have Data<i>time stamp</i> as the naming convention. Can I use *.xml to pick up my files from this directory?
    The help.sap.com documentation says that we can use this naming convention.
    <b>
    &#9679;      File Name
    Specify the name of the file that you want to process. The name can contain placeholders (*, ? (placeholders for exactly one character)) so that you can select a list of files for processing.
    </b>
    I tried using *.xml for my file name in the communication channel, XI is not picking up this file.
    Please let me know if you have the solution.
    Thanks
    Kalyan

    Murthy,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I am using GuildFTP tool as my FTP server. In this tool, all the permissions were given for the file to pick up.
    The status of the file is good.
    Where in the file adapter configuration I have to select 'Read-only'?
    The file adapter is working perfect with the exact name of the file.
    Thanks

  • I have a passport external hard. previously, I used it on windows, then I changed my laptop to mac. Now, It's only read. How can I use it for copying files on it on mac? I don wanna use it on windows again.

    If you're not going to use the drive on a Windows machine, you should use Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder) to erase the drive and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition (default):
    Good luck,

  • Can i use icloud to restore my music if i lose my hard drive?

    The drivers on my HP laptop have malfunctioned and the Geek Squad has not been able to restore them.  They want to try something that would erase my hard drive (which i am an idiot for not backing up)  I have recently subscribed to the iCloud match service and was wondering if i would be able to get all my music (the only important thing i have stored on my pc) back from the cloud?

    No. You can play your music anywhere 

  • Can I use 'Macintosh HD' folder time machine creates like any other hard drive folder?

    Very simply, is it possible, after using Time Machine to back up my Laptop, to use the 'Macintosh HD' Folder it creates like I would any other hard drive by selecting and extracting specific folders and backed up items as I see fit instead of going in to the Time Machine software and asking it to restore the drive to one of its 'backups' -essentially governing what exactly goes back in to my freshly cleared out laptop's internal hard drive? Will I run in to any problems? I am asking as I have picked up a software bug that I need to wipe off laptop hdd that would still be in the backups I have done and go back on to the laptop if I just asked Time Machine to restore.

    See Pondini's site for all of your Time Machine questions http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html

  • I have just started with Pages and can get no satisfaction from Help. These are trivial questions but not knowing the answer in really annoying. First, how can I convert the cursor to a chunky arrow so that I can see it more clearly. Oops I ran out of roa

    This is second part of a qyestion: I am working on Airbook, how do I delete forward?

    You 'ran out of room' because you tried to put your entire question into what is the 'Topic line' of the post.
    This is a fairly common error, as a scan of the topic list will show, and likely due to a design flaw in the layout of the composition page.
    Most posters who make this error do so on their first post, and are able to avoid a similar misstep on their second and subsequent questions.

  • How can I share iPhoto library between users on same mac. External hard drive has not worked.

    I need to share and edit photos between users on one mac. I have tried sharing the file on an external drive but this has caused all sorts of problems with photos disappearing and/or not being able to be edited. I was hoping iCloud sharing or family would work but being on the same machine I need the main iCloud account active at all times. This is a workplace so the second user has minimal access permissions.

    okay I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but i just imitated the same scenario on my mac and it seems to work fine. I made sure to change permissions of the shared folder AND the the actual photo library. I gave everyone access to everything (as far as the folder & library was concerned). I uploaded & viewed from both accounts. You might want to view permissions of your entire disk in disk utility to make sure there isn't an error.. Make a backup first though.
    The permissions will not stick. Earlier iPhoto versions did allow this, because iPhoto did not write to an iPhoto Library if you only wanted to browse it, but with iPhoto '11 the behaviour changed. Opening an iPhoto Library from a different account will write files with changed ownership right into the library, and that will cause problems if you edit or tag photos from a second account. The document I linked to in my earlier post is Apple Support's answer to these permission problems, when using a shared folder:     iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users

  • Can I use IPhone to transfer bookmarks to my new PC's hard drive?

    After a HD failure, I've been able to re-install music, videos, podcasts and playlists to my computer using my IPhone with ITunes and a program call Music Rescue.
    Now I want to populate my IE7 browser with my favorites (bookmarks) that are also in my IPhone.
    Is there a way to do this?

    This is what you need to do:
    From my first post: Put at least one contact & one event in Outlook or whatever supported program you use. Do the same relative to bookmarks for IE. This is important in order to generate a "merge" prompt when you sync, regarding these categories. You will be asked to "merge" or "replace". Merge is your choice.
    Next, under preferences(which I believe in windows is under the edit menu), disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected.
    You've already authorized your new computer, good.
    Next, connect your phone(DO NOT SYNC!), go up to "File", "Transfer Purchases made on this ipod to this computer". All purchased content will be transferred apps/music.
    Next, right click the phone in the left device pane & select reset warnings.
    From here, follow the directions in this support article regarding "Restoring your iphone or ipod touch"
    Select "Restore from Backup".
    Do not perform the sync, mentioned in this article, prior to restoring, it will wipe your phone!
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    This article details whats included in your backup that will be used to restore your phone:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If you follow these directions, you will be fine. Read through everything first. If you have questions, post back.
    From here you can select the appropriate content under the various tabs to sync your phone as usual.
    You do not have to pay for apps a second time, if you follow these directions they will be transferred to your new computer & can be re-downloaded for free anyway.

  • My MAC mini looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shut down.  I have to re select the network when restarting or waking the computer up.  I think this just started with Lion.  My iPod and iPad  have no trouble.

    My MAC MINI looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shuts down.  I have to re select the network when re starting or waking up the computer.  I think this just started with LION.  My iPod and iPad have no problem remembering the wireless network.

    Thank you BGreg.  That is what I have been doing, and then it works just fine.  I think it was doing the same thing in the previous version of Lion.  I may be incorrect about that.  I upgraded to 10.7.3 a few weeks ago, and then last week I reloaded the combo update, hoping it would help.  Not so.  Thank you for letting me know it is a common problem.  I have tried permissions in Disk Utilities, and in Macaroni, both at least 4 times, plus numerous restarts.  Nothing Improves.  It still can not find the internet when it wakes up or gets up.

  • Just started with logic exp 7

    So I just started with logic express about 10 mins ago. I understand that no sound will come out without an interface. But when i opened an old garageband song i still couldnt get sound to come out. Anyway to get this to work.

    quote: "So I just started with logic express about 10 mins ago"
    Well, how about simply going through the tutorial song from the DVD along with the printed book, which explains quite nicely how basic things work..?
    I have upgraded to LE7 last week, and although I'm already quite experienced with Logic Express 6, I found that performing the tutorial is a nice way to recall many things that can be done and one already forgot about it...

    Reinstall MacFuse with the one from http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg. If that doesn't work, you can use Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.0 which has been designed to work with Lion.
