Image File Storage

I will be going on a photo outing in October and I would like to kill a couple birds with one stone. There are devices on the market that are used by photogs to store large GB's of images while on assignment to free up space on their camera flash cards etc. I also want something to have my tunes with me etc. So I thought about using a 60gb IPOD for this.
Here is the issue, I take lots of images in NEF format which is essentially RAW data right from the camera sensor. Untouched by the cameras programming such as jpeg or tiff would be.
I don't necessarily need to see the NEF image on the IPOD screen, just store it till I get back home.
Will the IPOD store picture images other than those indicated in the literature / website?
Thanks in advance.

Normally, I am an 'Early Adopter.' In fact, I will be one of the first to buy the Nikon D200 when it becomes available. I currently use: Nikon D70s, FujiFilm FinePix S7000, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P200, and the Cannon PowerShot S500.
I shoot exclusively in .NEF format when I shoot with my Nikon(s). I am ready to purchase two of the 60GB ipods for travel but won't do so until .NEF is completely supported. I am also evaluating Creative's Zen Vision as an alternative.
Please let me know when you are compliant with the Nikon Electronic Format. Thank you.

  • Can I Use Time Machine To Back Up a FAT32 Disk Containing Image Files?

    New iMac User Here.  I just bought a brand new but mid-2010 27" i7 iMac.  Although I've used recent MacBooks when traveling I've got no experience with Time Machine or other similar third party back up software.
    I moved to the iMac from a desktop PC running Windows XP Pro SP3.  I use the computer(s) mainly for photo image storage and processing.  My workflow is based upon Adobe Lightroom (now v3.4.1) and I plan to stick with it.  In the PC I had three internal hard drives, 2 of which were dedicated to image files.  They were formatted as Windows NTFS.  In preparation for the switch I formatted an external drive as FAT32 and copied all the image files to it.  Now with the iMac I have Lightroom installed on its internal hard drive but keep the image files on the external hard drive and access them as needed.  So far, so good.
    The problem arose when I tried to set up Time Machine to back up both the internal hard drive and the external external drive.  It will back up the former but not the latter.  It tells me it does not interact with FAT32 disks.
    Any thoughts, explanations and/or solutions for establishing a simple, single back up routine for both internal and external drives will be most appreciated.

    Thanks very much for the quick response.  You confirm my intial suspicion, but your suggestion relies on my memory to accomplish on a regular basis (not the best of solutions) and further would be an extended disk run every night because it would not just be backing up new additions but the whole large disk, right?

  • Image files are now empty

    I never had a problem with Skype receiving images until recently.
    A few weeks ago I was no longer able to open images that were sent to me.  The thumbnail would appear but when I would click on it I could not view the full image because the size would be zero.  Even when trying to save the image, it would save it with a file size of zero and I wouldn't be able to open it.
    I checked my version and noticed there was an update so I updated to the latest version.  That worked as I was then able to view and save images again ..... until today.
    I am now experiencing the exact same issue again.  Thumbnails are appearing but I cannot view or save the full image because the size is zero.
    My versions are:
    Internet Explorer 10 version 10.0.9200.17183
    Skype version 7.1.0.105
    Windows 8 64 Bit
    Any idea what is causing this?
    Solved!

    Skype 7.2 doesn't require IE 11 on older OSs.  You just need to update to the latest/last IE for that particular OS ( IE8 or IE9 ).  I've tested Skype 7.2 on Windows XP ( IE8 ) and Vista ( IE9 ) and I did not run into any issues with image files.

  • Need help finding moved image files

    How would I find files after they have been moved? I travel and use a MB Pro laptop. The workflow I'm using is to download images to my desktop, review, rate and add keywords immediately. I make 2 backups, 1 to portable data store hard drive and one to DVD. Then every few days I erase the desktop image files. When I arrive home I download the entire trip's images from the portable storage to my desktop drives (2 500Gb SATA drives).
    Is there an easy way to direct Aperture to look for the files in the new location? Or, failing that, is there a better way to work? I regularly have 40 - 60 Gb of images after a trip and the laptop hard drive is inadequate for the task.

    The question isn't really clear to me yet. If you know what "the new location" is, then it's easy to make Aperture point to it. But that may not be the question. I think you may need to describe your workflow in more detail.
    You don't say how to review etc images on the MBP. If you're using Aperture, it must be with a library. Are you using Managed images there? So is the problem how to transfer data -- images and edits and metadata -- from the library on the MBP to the library (with referenced images??) on the desktop?
    Synchronizing libraries is not something Apple makes easy or offers any real help with. The best way to do it turns out to be to export one project at a time, connect to the other machine and its library, and import the projects. (In the process you might also Relocate images to make them referenced.)
    But your note about the laptop drive being to small is confusing. I don't see where your images are when you're on the road.

  • Use Referenced Masters To Avoid Accidentally Deleting A Master Image File

    If you use Managed images it is possible to delete the master file accidentally.  If you delete versions of an image using File -> Delete Version and the version you are deleting is the last remaining version for that image, Aperture 3 will delete both the version and the master image.  If you subsequently empty Aperture Trash and then System Trash that master image file is gone forever.  In Aperture 3 there is no warning that you are about to delete a master image. 
    A workaround (although a weak workaround) is to use Referenced Image Masters.  Then when you delete the last version which includes the master image from Aperture, you can uncheck the box "Move referenced file to system trash." and no master image file will be deleted.  The downside to this workaround is that when you really want to delete a master image file, it must be done via Finder.
    The best solution would be for Apple to fix this bug so that when you select "Delete Version" it only deletes the version image and reverts to the master image.  That way the master image can only be delete via the command "Delete Master Image and All Versions."

    There is no bug there.
    I had some trouble wrapping my mind around the file-Master-Version-Image-(Preview) complex that flows, sand-like, through the entire working of Aperture.  (I like a thing to be represented by itself and itself alone, and to exist in one place and one place alone.  I was comfortable with the seeming precision of the location-based "file+path" metaphor for the existence of these virtual things.  Aperture quite cleverly moves beyond that.)  Two things helped me move forward:
    - understanding the difference between Projects and Albums, and
    - separating my Library into a storage area and an output area.
    Projects are, for me, storage containers.  (I have said elsewhere that the mis-naming of "Projects" is the single worst interface decision made in Aperture.)  They have a privileged relationship with your Images:  every Image must "live" in a Project, and "lives" in only one Project.  It may help you to think of "Image+Project{Path}" as functionaly equivalent, within the Aperture Library, to the file directory "file+path" mentioned above.
    Albums are, for me, output containers.  I create Albums every time I know I will output a set of Images.
    In practice, I work on Images in each.  In general, I develop my digital captures in the Project that holds them (and I rigorously stick to "One Project = One shoot"), I create Versions and add them to Albums as needed for output (they are automatically made the Album Pick), and I tweak them for output and then output them from Albums.
    You may be wondering (if you've read this far) -- "What has this got to do with deleting Masters?"  A lot.  Note the difference in the context-menu between a Version in a Project and a Version in an Album.  The menu for the Album contains two delete commands: "Delete Version", and "Remove from Album".  The Versions live in Projects, and only visit Albums.  As Terence correctly points out, if you delete the last Version, your expectation should be that you are deleting that Image from your Library.  My suggestion is that you adopt something similar to what I've set up, and delete Versions from ONLY Projects (never from Albums).  This way you will never unknowingly delete the last Version (because Images can be in only one Project, and if you delete the last Version from that Project you know you are expunging that Image from your Library).

  • CCM 2.0 - Files Storage for high volume of files

    Hi all,
    I have seen in one message the following information:
    <i>1. Files storage.
    My point is that I think you've created a virtual folder on the SRM Server in SICF, which means that all your files are stored internally in the database, and not physically on the server.
    The most simple way is to create a physical folder on the server OS, and then create analias in SICF to this folder. You then will be abble to load in mass the pictures on the server using FTP, or network Share.</i>
    I want to upload images in the Catalog (CCM 2.0) and in my case I have high volume of files. Where is the best place to stored this data, in the database or in the server?
    And if it is in the server, how I can create an alias?
    Many thanks!!
    Regards

    Hi ,
    What we had done for image upload for CCM 2.0 was like this:
    1. in SE80 go to MIME repository -> drill down to services -> bc /sap/bsp - >Create a personal folder
    2. Import your image .jpeg in this folder.
    3. Derive an URL with the structue : server name/domain name/services/file name
    4. test this URL in IE browser ,it should open the picture in IE for you.
    5. then paste this URL in the characteristic 'image' of an item in master catalog in CAT
    with this in EBP we could see the photos of the items.

  • What is the file storage space in macbook air 2012?

    what is the file storage space in macbook air 2012?

    it all depends on what you'll be using it for - how much apps you plan on installing - how much music you have - how much videos you plan on saving in your macbook air.
    i have a 2010 and 2012 Macbook Air - both came with 128GB - for my needs - it's fine.
    As you can see from the image below - that is from my 2012 Macbook Air.  Still have lots of space left.

  • How to import image file of OS

    I was give an .img file of a server......I didn't receive a vm.vfg file at all, I the image was just simply copied from the running_pool on the oracle vm server after it was shut down.  Now...can I import this image into another oracle vm server using vm manager or some commands on the oracle vm server itself?  I was also sent the following information...
    more dns
    # Automatically generated xen config file
    name = "dns"
    memory = "256"
    disk = [ 'file:/OVS/running_pool/dns.img,xvda,w', ]
    vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:2a:4d:73, bridge=xenbr0', ]
    vfb = ["type=vnc,vncunused=1"]
    uuid = "4f91b207-a6a5-5bec-9ada-d60cc9254ce5"
    bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
    vcpus=1
    on_reboot   = 'restart'
    on_crash    = 'restart'
    This was generated on the original oracle vm server....should I edit that to reflect the uuid of the new oracle vm server and can I create my own vm.cfg file?  The server where this image come from does not have oracle vm manager controlling it, the admin has simply been using the oracle vm server interface itself to mount the domains..is there a way to generate a template from just the oracle vm server and not using the manager?

    I would change the name if the image file to something meaningful and simply copy the image file to the storage repository /OVS/Repositories/[YOUR Repo]/VirtualDisks and then simply rescan the storage repo. That should "import" the new image to your repo and make it available for use.
    The information shown about the VM indicates that the boot loader is pygrub - that would make this guest a PVM one, so you could simply create a new PVM in OVMM and choose the just imported vdisk as its first disk. The info for this guest also suggests that it's MAC-Address is 00:16:3e:2a:4d:73, so you will need to adjust the settings inside the guest once it is running on you new OVMs.

  • Convert and combine many image files into a pdf file?

    I have about 250 png and jpg files in a directory, and would like to convert and combine them into a pdf file.
    I wonder what steps to do that in Acrobat Adobe 9 in Windows?
    Requirements are:
    They are named in the order of 0000.png, 0001.jpg, ..., 0250.png, in which I would like to create the pages of the resulting pdf file.
    Also there may be some numbers (such as neither 0010.png nor 0010.jpg exists) missing, but still I would like the images be in the same order after creation of a pdf file.
    I would like the pages in the resulting pdf file look to have the same or similar size.
    But the numbers of pixels of the image files are different. Some are about 2000 x 3500 pixels, and some are about 800 x 1200 pixels.
    I also would like to have control of the spatial resolution such as the dpi parameter
    I also would like to OCR the pdf file (the images are scanned raster images).
    I would like the resulting pdf file to take reasonable storage size on my disk.

    You don't say what version of Acrobat you are using, but I expect you could do it with Acrobat XI's Actions feature. Maybe even in 10.0. Since this is an enterprise deployment forum, I suggest you find a better forum and ask about Actions and Batch Processing.

  • NSS6000 "Firmware Update Error: The firmware image file is corrupt."

    Hello All,
    I've recently run into a problem trying to update the firmware on our NSS6000 to either 1.20.1 or 1.21.0.  We are currently running 1.16-3.
    Each time after I click "Upgrade Firmware", the upgrade fails with the same error:  "Firmware Update Error: The firmware image file is corrupt.  Obtain another copy of the file and try the firmware upgrade again".
    I've tried re-downloading the NSS6000_FW_1.20.1.tar.gz and NSS6000_FW_1.21.0.tar.gz several times from multiple PCs, and using multiple browsers.  I've tried several combinations of Windows Server 2003R2, Windows Server 2008R2, Windows 7, and Firefox, Chrome, and IE 8/9.
    The downloads all appear to be fine, and they all can open/extract with 7-zip without issue.  The file sizes are always the same.
    No combination of OS/Browser yields a different result on the upgrade attempt either.
    I tried renaming NSS6000_FW_1.21.0.tar.gz to NSS6000_fwupgrade_0121.tar.gz to match the convention used in early versions (thinking that the extra "."'s could be the issue) but no luck either.
    I was able to successfully re-apply the NSS6000_fwupgrade_0116.tar.gz firmware without any issues at all.
    A strange thing I noticed, though, was on the "The system will reboot now. Please close your browser." window, it shows the device as an "NSS2000 2-Bay Gigabit Network Storage System" (please see attached screenshot).  I'm chalking that up to a simple reusing-the-same-web-code issue rather than the root of the problem, but thought I should mention that as well.
    Has anyone else run into this issue, or have any suggestions for workarounds in order to successfully upgrade the FW on this device?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hi,
    Not sure what is going on i haven't see the issue you are having, can you try downloading both images at a different location; instead of behind your router. Also upgrade to .20 and then .21. Im pasting the release notes upgrades step.
    When upgrading the firmware from v1.12 to v1.14, v1.12 to v1.20.1, or v1.12 to
    v1.21.0 the Configuration GUI displays a "Programming images.." message
    for more than 12 minutes (the time it takes to upgrade the firmware is
    usually 5 to 10 minutes).
    The workaround is to wait at least 15 minutes to complete the upgrade and
    then power cycle the NSS by removing the power cord. Do not try and
    access the Configuration GUI during this time. (CSCsx17923) When upgrading the firmware from v1.12 to v1.14, v1.12 to v1.20.1, or v1.12 to
    v1.21.0 the Configuration GUI displays a "Programming images.." message

  • Keep having to find missing folders for network image files, although library is on local drive

    I use Lightroom to store my image files on a networked drive.  Whenever I open up Lightroom and want to access the files, it keeps losing the path to the drive and folders.  I have to keep using find missing folders on all the subdirectories to see the files.  Is there something I can do to prevent this from happening each time?

  • How to create an ISO Image file

    Hi guys,
    I was hired to create a system for a company and as an optional feature they would like the application to have an ISO Image maker. Meaning that the application will be able to get some files and package as an ISO so this can be burned directly to CD. Well, my problem so far is that I haven't found anything about this topic. Has anyone tried to do that? Or where can I find the specifications for the ISO image file so I can atleast try and implement it. Any help would be largely appreciated!!!! It's surprising that Sun doesn't have a class for that...unless I'm wrong and there is such a thing!!! Thanks in advance.

    An ISO file consists mostly of binary data - so if it does not make sense to you then I hope that means you do understand the language that I'm talking with here =P
    API in C++ for softwares like Nero and for a task like CD image creation is not surprising at all - I bet that the CDEverywhere only uses Java for creating the UI (User Interface). You can easily use the Nero API in 2 ways:
    1) Use System.exec(cmd) to call some command line utilities to perform the image creation task.
    2) Write some connecting codes in C++ to utilise the Nero API such that you may link those up with Java via JNI (Java Native Interface)
    Last but not the least - the reason why many of us thinks that Java is not the right tool for CD creation is because the language is designed for platform-independence. But with the current hardware and software abstraction layers to access these removable storage data it would be rather challenging not implement a set of Java API that would work on most platforms.
    I hope I do sound convincing here~

  • MobileMe iDisk failed --- I want the iPhone as file storage

    At first, yes it is nice. But why I can't save pictures from iDisk to my photo app on the iPhone? Why I can't save files from iDisk on the iPhone?
    Why it isn't possible to use the iPhone as file storage? We are living in the year 2009. Since the first generation every iPod can be used as a mountable device.
    Why Apple let me not save files on my iPhone by using USB?
    I don't want to hack my iPhone for this feature. Wireless Apps are no solution for me?
    But i feel to forced to hack my iPhone. Thank you Apple.
    At last i want say.
    Apple please stop the paternalism of customers!

    You may not be able to save -- this is a sync service -- but you can use the app to mail the image or file to yourself and that would make it accessible. You could also mail from your desktop of course.
    The iPhone and iPod touch are not mountable and use a different OS from the other iPods. It is not a problem with the platform, it was a deliberate decision by Apple not to have this. You say that you do not want to use wifi solutions, but there are several effective solutions, like Air Sharing, Files (and Files Lite) and the recently released Documents to Go.
    If you feel that there is a feature that you would like on the iPhone, why not tell Apple, by using the Feeback pages provided for that purpose and not the users. You did read the conditions when you joined, didn't you?

  • Error "A web exception has occurred during file upload" when trying to import ESXi image file into Update Manager

    I'm encountering this error and not sure how to fix, I'm quite new to vCenter so please bear with me.
    I'm trying out vCenter 5.1 with Update Manager 5.1 right now.  No license key has been entered and I still have 50 odd days to try it out.
    2 ESXi hosts are being managed by this vCenter, and they're both running ESXi 4.0
    I'm looking to use Update Manager to try to upgrade the ESXi 4.0 hosts to ESXi 5.1
    I downloaded the image file VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso from VMWare website, and is looking to import it using the Update Manager so I can update the ESXi hosts, but I keep on getting the error:
    File name:     VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso
    Failed to transfer data
    Error was: A web exception has occurred during file upload
    I tried importing it by using vSphere client to connect to vCenter server both remotely and locally, with firewall disabled.
    I've read http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1026602
    I've disabled firewall, and there is no anti-virus program on the server.  I've also restarted the machine several times, to no avail, I didn't reinstall update manager because the whole Windows and VCenter installations are clean from scratch.
    I logged into the vSphere Client using Active Directory credentials, and I've made all Domain Admins (which my account is a member of) part of the administrator group on the vCenter server. I can't log in using admin@System-Domain because it tells me I don't have permissions for it, I still haven't really had the chance to figure out why that is and not sure if that makes a difference.
    Also, I'm fairly certain I'm using the right image file, as I've burned some DVD's used that image file to upgrade some other ESXi hosts.  Unless there's a special image file I need to download?
    I'm at lost on what I can do to make it work.  Please advise.
    Thanks.

    The ISO file you mentioned is the one for vCenter Server. What you need is the "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso" (or VMware-VMvisor-Installer-201210001-838463.x86_64.iso) for the ESXi host.
