I want to get rid of Aperture and go back to iPhoto

A few months ago I switched to Aperture because I was unhappy with iphoto. The new iphoto is great and I want to switch back. How can I copy my entire aperture library of about 20,000 images back into iPhoto without losing any keywords, ratings, etc. keeping the rolls the same, etc.
Aperture is just too slow, and hard to navigate for me. I liked it for a while, but I like the new iphoto a lot better.
Also, what would I do about stacks? That is the only feature that I think is missing in iPhoto. I guess I could hide images...

Hi.
Sorry to hear that you're unhappy... I had iPhoto 08 and I absolutely LOVE it, but it can't stand up to Aperture in many ways. It's missing more than the stacks, my friend. The killer image adjustments, the ability to navigate several open projects at a time, the metadata, and the unbelievable loupe. Of course, it all depends on what you find useful. I picked up iPhoto because I couldn't justify the price of Aperture, but after using iPhoto (again, which I love), I realize that the price differential is there for a reason.
In iPhoto 08 (I guess you have that...) go to *File/Show Aperture Library...* When it comes up as a little palette, you can select them all and drag them into iPhoto. I tried it with one image (I copied my iPhoto library into Aperture when I got Aperture, so it's the same images) and it copies over. Try it with a few images to see what keywords and stuff comes over.
iPhoto doesn't support stacks in this version. The images will likely just come in loose. Give it a try.
Incidentally, what kind of machine are you on: G4, G5, Intel? My Dual 2Ghz G5 with 1GB RAM crawls, but my Intel Core Duo 2Ghz Intel qith 1.5GB RAM eats Aperture for breakfast. BEar in mind that Aperture does whole lot more on the top and under the hood, so it requires some serious horsepower...

I downloaded Firefox 4 this afternoon and after looking at it I want to get rid of it and go back to Firefox 3.5-3.6. How do I do that? I absolutely hate the whole Firefox 4 setup.

How do I get rid of "INBOX" and go back to "GOOGLE"?

I can't get rid of "INBOX" and go back to "GOOGLE" when I open Firefox. The posted solutions requires me to start by entering about:config in the location bar. I don't have the foggiest notion of what the Hell is a location bar and what the next step means: "in the filter at the top......". Don't have any idea how this got changed during the last day or so, but it is extremely irritating and THERE IS NO PHONE NUMBER TO CALL TO GET A REAL LIVE PERSON TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

Also note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.
# Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0
# Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove all (older) version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and (re)install the latest Flash player.
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
You can open the about:config page via the location bar and search for prefs that refer to ask.com and reset user set (bold) ask.com prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

How can I edit / delete items in the "Ask" tool bar? (e.g. I want to get rid of Facebook and You Tube)

I would like to control what items appear on the Ask tool bar and in what order they are displayed. In particular, I would like to get rid of the Facebook, YouTube, CNN, and Fun Games buttons which I see on this tool bar.

Please do the following. 
#In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
#If you see a window which says "This might void your warranty!", click the button which says "I'll be careful, I promise" so you can continue with the next step. 
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
#Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK. 
#Close the tab
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
If this suggestion resolves the problem for you, please click the '''Solved it''' button next to this post after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same problem.
Thanks.

I want to get rid of Bing and Conduit. They are really sucky!

I have tried several things to get rid of these leaches, none of which have worked. They just showed up on my computer and really slow down my operation with needless steps between me and where I want to be

this one was helpful one for the conduict victim
A note as to what was done before hitting the forum: Malwarebytes & SuperAntiSpyware complete scans, which found and removed a number to things, all Conduit related. Kapersky TDSSKiller and MDAM chameleon found no problems.
RE >>To fix Firefox the first thing to do is to remove that Entrusted Toolbar extension through the Extensions tab of the Add-on manager. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remove-toolbar-has-taken-over-your-firefox-search
The "entrusted11" addon pretended to uninstall. Upon FF restart, it was still there. In the meantime, I ran Hitman Pro scanner. It found & fixed several Conduit things that the others missed, plus a known malware. After a machine restart, the Entrusted11 addon did uninstall for real.
Another problem: FireFox was set to use a proxy. I set that back to no proxy and the redirects to Bing went away.
Search Reset extension installed and ran, but something (popup from some taskbar icon or FF addon -- they're close together and it disappeared quickly) blocked the changes to home page config. I reset that stuff manually under: Tools-->Options-->General.
Right-clicking the newtab checkerboard icon brought up the usual context menu for off-link right clicks on web pages, with no option to reset anything, BUT after using Hitman Pro and restarting the machine, that problem has cleared up.
Internet Explorer is still hijacked, so Hitman Pro did not solve all problems on this machine. I want to use Firefox awhile before I call this post solved.

From iPhoto to Aperture and now back to iPhoto?

Hi, all:
About 15 months ago, I bought and dl'd a copy of Aperture from the App Store because it was so much cheaper than retail. What I've realized, though, is that I bit off more than I can chew, in terms of features and learning curve, and I would like to move everything back to iPhoto.
What's the best way to do this?
I appreciate any and all feedback.
Thanks!
Bill in CT

Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.
The only communication between the two is as follows:
Aperture is able to parse the iPhoto Library to allow it to import the contents while stacking the Originals and Modified versions, preserving metadata and so forth.
Aperture can share its Previews with the iLife apps, including iPhoto.
That's it.
So, specifically, what interaction there is between the two is designed to facilitate migration from iPhoto to the more powerful app. After that, iPhoto has exactly the same relationship to the Aperture Library as, say, Pages or iMovie.
iPhoto has no knowledge of, and knows nothing of how the Aperture Library works. It cannot read the Aperture library. If you want to migrate back to iPhoto:
1. Export all your Masters to the Finder
2. Export all your Versions (if you choose to... but note the caveat below)
You can write the metadata to the files on export - check out the Export presets. Note that you cannot export Faces. There is no convention for sharing Faces. The best you can do is use Faces as a basis for keywording.
Import them from the Finder into iPhoto.
And here's the caveat: Note that there is no way to associate the masters with the versions in iPhoto, so you'll have apparent duplicates if you choose to import the versions
Regards
TD
