I want to use Lightroom for all my photo work but want a folder on my Mac to just dump all my pictures in before transferring selected ones to Lightroom. Can I get rid of iPhoto as everyone tells me to and use something else as a My Pictures folder ?

I don't see my question listed anywhere. Has it disappeared in a cloud-help.

Your question is gone in the title.
It is a matter of your preferences.
I use Aperture instead of iPhoto, a way which can be similar to your idea to use Lightroom.
I prefer to put all my originals (Masters) on 2 external HD. Identic
Does Lightroom allow you to keep Masters on external HD and use referenced files ?
It will be a way to keep pictures (Many GB) out of the Mac and be able to find them from different Macs.
Also keep them on 2 different HD is safety.

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • Can I get rid of 36? It installed an update and now firefox does not work at all

    firefox 36 is seriously broken
    It updated on my computer and now does not work at all. I've tried all the suggestions and no help.....going back to IE

    Hi wskossack, I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with Firefox 36. I am also sorry that we have not been able to get that working for you yet.
    If what you really want is to uninstall Firefox we can do that. Of course I have to ask if you would be willing to let my help you to get the most up to date version of Firefox working. But, Firefox is all about the ability to customize. If you want we can install the last version of Firefox and you can use that until the next version comes out or while we work to get Firefox 36 working for you. I will try to cover every option in my reply.
    First I will cover uninstalling Firefox. If you want to look at the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer|article click here]] this can be done in about 7 steps
    I would recommend that you completely uninstall Firefox and install it again. This will most likely fix any problems you have right now. Because you are asking how to do this I am going to assume that you have not tried this.
    If you have Vista or Windows 7:
    1) close any open Firefox windows.
    2) from the start menu click on control panel
    3) click on uninstall a program
    4) from this list chose Firefox
    5) click on uninstall (this is located turds the top)
    If the Uninstall Wizard does not run, you can start it manually by running helper.exe, which is located in one of these locations by default:
    (32-bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe
    (64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe
    6) in the Firefox uninstall wizard click next and on the next page click uninstall then click finish
    7) to remove other files and folders that may not be removed by the uninstall, you must manually delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations by default:
    (32-bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    (64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    The uninstaller does not remove any user data such as history or bookmarks. To completely remove this data, you must manually delete the Firefox folder containing your user profile:
    Click the Windows Start button.
    Type %APPDATA% in the search field and press enter to open the hidden Roaming folder.
    Open the Mozilla folder
    Delete the Firefox folder.
    Now I am going to go over how to get the last version of Firefox installed on your computer. If you want to look at the [[Install an older version of Firefox|article click here]] . If you decide that this is what you want to do please look at the article for some impotent security information.
    Firefox 35.0.1 was the last version of Firefox and you can get it by [https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/35.0.1/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2035.0.1.exe clicking here] . The link is also in the article. If you do this you will have to disable the auto update. To do this go to options, then go to advance. Under advance there will be a sub tab. You want to go to update. Then you can select to never check or to have it tell you when there is an update.
    So the only thing left is for me to help you with any problems you are having with Firefox 36. I hope you will give me a chance. In any case, if you need any more information or help with anything that I went over please let me know.

  • Can I get rid of duplicate or empty folders in contacts without using a computer?

    Is there a way to get rid of duplicate folders and empty folders in contacts without using a computer?

    If you don't have iTunes you will need to buy the song from the iTunes store and download it that way. If it is a custom track you may be out of luck.  The only way to get a song on your device without iTunes involves jailbreaking it. 
    iOS is set up to prevent people from emailing each other songs, videos, movies, books, etc. This is how Apple got their contracts with the content providers by promising that they would do what ever it takes to prevent people from sharing content that they didn't pay for.

  • TS1398 My iPad won't backup to iCloud even though I have plugged into power, locked it and other devices all are OK on our wi fi.  I can't get rid of the box that tells me to backup the iPad to iCloud to access anything else in the iPad.  Help?

    When I try to use my iPad I get a message that says my iPad has not been backed-up for 2 weeks.  I've plugged it in, locked it and wi fi is working with other devices but I can't get passed that message.  I've tried turning the iPad off but even then I can't slide the bar to turn it off.  Any suggestions?

    Try this.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Now I have Aperture 3 can I get rid of iPhoto?

    Will I ever need to use iPhoto again?
    I ask this because I have Final Cut Studio 3 but I occasionally use iMovie as there are some things it can do better or more easily.
    Is this the case with Aperture and iPhoto or can Aperture do everything that iPhoto can,  plus a lot more?
    So will I still need iPhoto?

    Definitely keep iPhoto.
    If you use Facebook then any albums loaded by iPhoto to FaceBook will be deleted automatically.
    That's just one danger of moving from iPhoto to Aperture.
    I use Both... personal is usually in iPhoto. Work stuff is in Aperture.
    Also my ITouch syncing thru iTunes never see the Aperture library, and Aperture has never asked to take photos from my iTouch... only iPhoto has !

  • My Safari homepage is hijacked by One Search, how can I get rid of it?

    Has anyone had the same problem as this? My Homepage keeps defaulting to a search page called, 'One Search' and I cannot get rid of it. I reset my homepage only for it to be bypassed and One Search to appear overtime I open the browser.
    Also if I click on any page that is open I get pop-up ads that are not stopped by Adblocker. I have installed the OS X 10.10.1 hoping this would fix it but it has not.
    Any ideas would be welcome.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
