I'm trying to merge (unify) my Aperture library with my iphoto library and have doen the merge and consolidate functions in Aperture. I have found that this process increased my Aperture library form 30 to 39 gigs and duplicated many photos in the proces

I've just merged my Aperture and iphoto libraries and have found that my combined new Aperture library has grown from about 30 gigs (the total size of the Aperture and iphoto libbraries prior to merging) to 40 gigs. Also, in reviewing photos in the Aperture browser I find that photos appaer as duplicated, one photo with no tag (the original) followed by the same photo with a small tag (suggesting edits). HAs the merge process caused an unintended increase in library size? My initial reason do consolidate the libraries was to eliminate the "referenced" portion fo the Aperture library that refernced the iphoto originals. Any thoughts as to how I can get one consolidated non-referenced combined libray inside Aperture with no duplicates. I run a Time Capsule and can access backups of the original Aperture and Iphoto libraries if I need to repeat the process. Thanks for any help. Jim.

One for the Consolidate Masters command.
By importing the Library you brought over everything, lock stock and barrell, and your Aperture library still points to those referenced masters in the iPhoto Library.

If you Restore using last computer you synced to the password will be removed and you can restore the last backup on your computer, which includes your camera roll.
If you enabled Photo Stream in iCloud your photos are in Photo Stream.
If you had installed one of the many apps that can upload photos to a photo sharing site and had used it you will have your photos.
If you have done none of these things you are out of luck. The phone comes with many tools to preserve content, but you have to use them.

HT1449 can i use this process for moving my library to an external drive?

My iMac is dying a slow death and I want to run itunes and iphoto off my external drive as the data may get corrupted if it stays on the computer hard drive.
If I designate a folder on my external drive and then cosolidate will that allow me to run itunes from the external drive?
When My iMac fails will I be able to take the data from that folder for the new iMac?
Thanks,

I'd suggest you just drag the entire iTunes folder (the _entire_ folder, _not_ just the iTunes Music folder) to your desired location. Then hold down the Option key while launching iTunes. You'll be given a dialog box where you can select the iTunes library you want to use. Navigate to and select the iTunes folder in it's new location. Note that this procedure assumes that all of your content is contained in the iTunes Media/Music folder. If things are scattered around your drive, moving them becomes much more complex.
As to moving iPhoto, you may want to confirm the correct procedure for your version of iPhoto in the iPhoto forums.
Your iMac cannot be running Mac OS 9.2.x, by the way. It will help people offer advice if you'll correct that.

I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open. it says page cannot be found. This just started happening. what needs to be corrected?

In Adobe Send, I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open, it says page cannot be found. This just started happening. What needs to be corrected?

I can think of a couple of reasons for this behavior.
You inadvertently turned off the sharing for the files.
The link that the user is clicking on is incomplete; perhaps it got broken across lines in an email message. Are you sending Anonymous Links or Personalized Invitations? If the former, are you certain that you copied the entire link?
Some things to try.
Have the user send the link back to you so that you can test it. Does it work for you?
If you look at your Sent Files list, is the name in the Sent To column struck through (e.g., John Smith)? That would indicate that it has been unshared.
If you could get back to me with answers, perhaps we can get to the bottom of this.

HT201302 I have a 4S Iphone and wish to transfer my photoes to my Windows 7 PC, but It wont work. I go to "computer" click on "import pictures and videos" but a window opens stating " No pictures or videos were found on this device". Need your help please

Thank you Peter, I had already tried this link before asking for help. I followed the steps, and when I clicked on " import pictures and videos " , a window poped up saying " No pictures or videos were found on this device". Any helps !

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software.

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

I recently re-installed my snowleopard OS 10.6 Since the re-installation a number of applications are now saying that this versions of "iPhoto" requires mac os 10.7.5 and i am running 10.6.8

I recently re-installed my snowleopard OS 10.6 Since the re-installation a number of applications are now saying that this versions of "iPhoto" requires mac os 10.7.5 and i am running 10.6. Prior to my re-install of 10.6 i confirmed that i was using 10.6.8. Since i have never run 10.7 on this computer i am baffled as to why these applications are now demanding is after a re-install.
any advice would be appreciated.

Using my Grey Install CD i ran the optional install of just the application package, however the applications still respond in the same way. "You can't use this version of the application _______ with this version of Mac OS X"
What is still baffaling me here is that i haven't ever upgraded these apps in the app store above Mac OS X 10.6.8. My reinstallation of the operating system was done via the original Snow Leapard Install CD. Prior to the reinstallation i was running 10.6.8 with all applications working.
My issue here is this computer is within an education computer lab so simply going out and buying Lion may not be an option.
Additional information that may shed light:
Identical computer running within the same computer lab is using successfully:
     Mac OS X
     10.6.8
     Iphoto '11
     Version 9.2.3
Reason for operating system Re-installation:
-CrashReporter showed that the Dock continually crashed eating up a large % of CPU making the computer virtually unusable.

How many photos can the Aperture Library hold ????

Just trying to work out the limits for photos for Aperture ? How many photos do you folks have in your libraries ?
Cheers Darren

As you get close to 750,000 you begin to run into problems with administrative tasks taking too long. Repair and Rebuild will take days, not hours. Upgrading a Library that large is also better measured in days than in hours. The longest operation I've done took 82 hours.
Because of my time limitations (not the computer's) I did not grow this test Library beyond 750,000 Images, which I consider, as a rule-of-thumb, the practical limit for an Aperture Library running on c. 2014 equipment. (YMMV — a lot of variables in there.)
Just for some sense of scale, if you looked at each Image in a Library with 750,000 Images for 1 second and never blinked or paused, it would be more than 8 ½ days until you'd "seen" all of them. (750000 /60 /60 /24, or just put "750000 seconds is how many days?" into Google for an impressive use of their built-in converter.)

I am getting an error message that "no photos could be found on this device" when I plug in my ipad to my windows 8. I open the dcim folder and it shows up empty, although I clearly have photos on my ipad. I was able to do this just last week. HELP!

Help, I am trying to get my pictures from my ipad to my computer (windows 8) and I get the message that "no photos could be found on this device." When I try to open the dcim folder, it shows up empty. What can I do? I have previously been able to import pictures easily.

Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

How to automatically decrease time of many photos in the album?

I have 2 sets of photos from 2 different cameras (600 photos in total) which I want to combine and arrange by date&time. The problem is that time in second camera was set 4 hours ahead than in my camera. For example photo from my camera has time stamp 18:47 while the photo of the same moment from 2nd camera has time stamp 22:47.
I want to do the following, automatically decrease time for photos from 2nd camera by 4 hours from the original time in the file. Doing it for 300 photos is a mess. Is there any way to do it automatically in iPhoto + Automator or some other Mac tool?
Thanks

You can simply create a Smart Album of the pics from Camera 2
File -> New Smart Album
Camera Model -> Is - > Name of Camera
This finds all the files with the wrong time.
Select them all (Command -a) then go Photos -> Adjust Date and Time

I cannot open videos that are sent in adobe flash player. i have loaded Photon, and just bought Falcon Player, and still cannot open any video sent in adobe flash. I understood that I was to download one of these as a substitute and could play my, video

Can someone help me to open videos that come in adobe flash player. It says' my ipad 2 does not accept that. i was told to down load either photon or Falcon player. i have done both and still cannot open my videos. i am 74 years old, electronically challenged, and NEED SOMEONES HELP, PLEASE!! Thanks so very much to whomever has the time to he me.

Either get a screen cleaning cloth, or carefully us a slightly damp lint-free cloth and dry off with a dry link-=free cloth.
As to Flash Videos: I am in a similar same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube and FaceBook for example) are fine.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.
