IPhoto 09 Picture size
The photo size slider looks as if it won't move all the way to the right, and even if I click on the icon (for largest size), my photos still are not as large as they were in 08. I get 4 photos across whereas I used to be able to get a single photo in view. ????

Select a pic. Tap the Space bar. Tap the Right arrow to move to the next pic (or left to go back). Tap the space bar again to revert to the thumbnail view.

Would like to verify Time Machine backup but when I enter TM and then open iPhoto, it only provides me a gray window telling me the size of the file. How do I make sure all iPhoto pictures have been backed up on Time Machine?

Since Snow-Leo time machine offers an option to verify backups, but I have found that it does not work for external disks attached by USB or FireWire.
Yes, that's for network backups only.
What can I do to make sure that the backups are OK?
You can tell if the File System (the various directories, catalogs etc.) is ok by repairing your backup drive, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
You can "spot check" whether the Time Machine "Star Wars" display seems correct.
You can do a full system restore to another disk per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, then start up from it and see if things are there and seem to work.
You can keep "secondary" backups (always a good idea). See #27 in the FAQ post for some suggestions. -
I am trying to make a Photo Book using IPhoto for my granddaughter's wedding. I am using 6 pictures per page, as I have many pictures to add to book.
The picture size is small. But when I zoom is all the way down to the end to make smaller. Doesn't go far enough. When I try to put a picture in the square spot, it cuts off part of the picture. Has anyone else had this problem, and could help me out. I really would like to put on each page even more pictures, but that is not an option with IPhoto. I have used other sites to make books. This is my first try with IPhoto. I may have to revert to the old familiar ones. Wanted to give this one a try. My granddaughter leaves for Germany on the 21st to join her marine husband. I am quickly running out of time. (The wedding was this past Saturday)Place it the book, right click on it and fit to frame

Is there a way to control the sizes of pictures displayed when one clicks on individual thumbnails in photo pages in iWeb. They display at 600 pixel size along the longer side. If one then drags and drops them onto the desktop and subsequently opens the resulting file in Photoshop the downloaded picture is a full 800 pixels along its longer side. This is more than I prefer and makes for a long upload time for websites with hundreds of pictures. A 400 - 500 pixel size would suit me better. Is anyone aware of some method to change this default picture size? Maybe some plist hack?
PowerBook 15" 1,67GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)Thanks for your reply. By dragging and dropping I was referring to the end viewers of the website being able to drag the pictures to their desktops in a fairly high resolution. Sorry for not being clear about this. The thing is I don't want the end viewers to be able to have images of more than approx. 400-500 pixels. All my images start off in Aperture and wind up in iWeb via the Aperture2iLife software from lightboxsoftware.com. To simplify the workflow I'm trying to keep other apps out of the loop, hence no iPhoto.
I think my solution may have to be to Publish to a folder from within iWeb, find the appropriate images in their folders and batch run them through an Action in Photoshop to resize them to a smaller size before uploading the website. The downside of this of course is the added step in the workflow including another application in the loop but I guess the upside is I can use the opportunity to stick a watermarking routine in the batched Action. -
Sharing a photo from Finder to Facebook reduces picture size
Yesterday I installed 10.8.2 upgrade and I tried sharing from finder to facebook. Picture size in finder is 720px × 437px and after sharing 346px × 210px in Facebook. How can I keep original size of the photo after share?
iPhoto for iOS always optimizes the shared photo for the site it's being shared to. The only way to edit a photo and export it that I know of is to share it to iTunes. Unfortunately that means to get the photo you have to sync with your computer, export it from the file sharing section of iTunes then share it to the site you want to put it on.
To get around this limitation I use an alternate app. My favorite is Photoforge2. It will work with any photo you have in the Photos app and export at the file size you want. You can leave the file at its original size or make it smaller. Your original file will remain untouched and the edited file can be shared back to the Camera Rool in the Photos app if desired. You can also share to a variety of sites like Photobucket or email the photo. -
Any value in exporting iPhoto pictures and importing them into Aperture?
I am moving from iPhoto into Aperture (moving my library again actually) and I know that iPhoto and Aperture can share the iPhoto library once it has been updated but I am wondering if there is any value (or even if it is possible) to export all of the iPhoto pictures and import them into a new Aperture library? The reason that I'm asking this is that I know there are a lot of duplicates in my iPhoto library and I know that Aperture keeps only the original. A couple of weeks ago I moved my iPhoto library onto an external LaCie SSD disk to use with my MacBook Pro but unfortunately corrupted that library and have to make the move again. If there is any value in changing how I'm managing my library I should do it now.
The library corruption was caused by me needing to leave for work and disconnecting the LaCie before Aperture was done sync'ing with my Flickr account. When I tried to use Aperture the next day it was not able to repair/rebuild or use the iPhoto library at all. I was unfortunately not backing up the external disk so I lost everything that I had done to clean up the library after the move. One lesson that I learned was do not automatically sync with Flickr because doing this on an MBP via wireless with an external disk library can add a lot of delay to shutting down Aperture after an MBP wakeup.Just in case you have not come across these:
Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
but I am wondering if there is any value (or even if it is possible) to export all of the iPhoto pictures and import them into a new Aperture library?
You can - an it will depend on what you want to achieve, if that will usefull. The way to do this would be by imprting your iPhoto library into an Aperture library using Aperture. But Aperture libraries and iPhoto libraries are now interchangable - both are photo libraries, and you could simply use your iPhoto library in Aperture and be done now.
Some reasons why you would want to turn your iPhoto library into a library recognized as Aperture library by importing it into a new, empty Aperture Library:
As long as the photo library will have the "Kind: iPhoto library", you will have to upgrade both iPhoto and Aperture always to the newest versions, or you will not be able to upgrade to a new library format, when a new release of Aperture comes - say (iPhoto '12 and Aperture 4); you will probably have to buy both new releases to continue working with your iPhoto Library in Aperture.
If the kind of your library is "Kind: iPhoto library", it will appear in the Media Browser in the iPhoto section, not in the Aperture section, even if you are using it as your Aperture library. And before syncing with iTunes you will always have to open the Aperture library in iPhoto to point iTunes to it.
Also, in Aperture you have more control about what will be included in your library - In iPhoto there is no way to specify the size and quality of previews. If you do not want or need previews, or you want smaller previews, or no Faces, it would make sense to recreate your iPhoto library by importing it into a new, empty Aperture Library.
If you have more than one iPhoto Library, you can merge them into one big Aperture library to be able to browse all your images without having to switch between libraries. Aperture works very well with really big libraries. There is no need to split libraries.
The reason that I'm asking this is that I know there are a lot of duplicates in my iPhoto library and I know that Aperture keeps only the original.
That is what I meant by having more control on what will be stored. iPhoto will always store a very high quality preview of your edited version; in Aperture you can decide what the preview size and quality will be. But Previews and originals are not duplicates; they are not the same image.

IPhoto file sizes and a Trash mystery
I hope someone who knows more than I do about iPhoto file sizes can help solve a mystery for me. I'm not a Mac novice; I have been using them exclusively for more than 20 years, but I haven't come across this phenomenon before.
For a few months now, I have been keeping an eye on 500GB iMac's hard drive as it has been filling. When it reached 80GB of space remaining earlier this month, I figured that soon I would have to start tidying up or moving stuff to an external hard drive to reclaim space on the computer. Then, one morning last week, I switched on the iMac and discovered that the whole 80GB had vanished overnight and the disk was full. Weird, but not a disaster.
The biggest single file on the drive was my iPhoto library, at 120GB. That seemed large for a library containing 7,512 photos (none RAW), but I decided to move it off to an external anyway. The process ran smoothly. It's now safely on an external drive and iPhoto has been working well. After a few days of reassuring myself that all was fine, I decided to trash the original library on the iMac.
Here's the mystery (at least it's a mystery to me): The library of 7,512 pictures produced more than 65,000 items to delete in the Trash. Some of these items are taking up to 20 minutes each to delete. The trash has been emptying now for more than 24 hours; I have recovered 100GB of the 120GB and there are still 15,270 items to be killed.
Does that sound odd to anyone? If not, why are nine times as many files being killed as there are pictures in the library? And why would 80GB of space have vanished overnight?That sounds very off indeed.
For comaprison. I have a library here with 30K+ items, some raw, some video, mostly Jpegs and that's 83.1 gigs. So a library of 120gigs for 7.5 k shots is well out of line.
My guess is that something was been written into the Library by some other agent - for instance, a back up app writing a back up into the Library or something odd like that.
Go to your working Library on the External. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
In List View, sort it on Size. What's the biggest item(s)?

Changing iPhoto pix size makes wrong date...
Hello,
I'm attempting to reduce the file sizes of many iPhoto pictures - I don't need 3meg per picture for quite a few of them. If I export at a smaller size from iPhoto or Photoshop Elements, the creation and modify dates change to the current date which is not good when I reimport them. Any way to keep this metadata so iPhoto orders them correctly?
Thanks
H
G4-17 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)H
This seems to work:
In iPhoto select your photos to resize, from the Share menu select Export and check the Scale images no larger than...and then type in the size you want - try 600 and the height will show 450. You can select any choice under Name and then click on Export. Choose your destination and there you have it! The pictures will still have the original date stamp.
Hope this will help.

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand. I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file. I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild. Any Help?! Any Suggestions on how to fix this?! I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database -- if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

When I take a picture with my iPhone and then forward the picture to an emaila ddress (regardless of picture size) it will not send the email with the pciture enclosed - any thoughts on how to fix ?????
Thanks -The collum to the right listed similar problems. The solution appears to be that under smtp outgoing settings the user name and password are listed as optional. I have not plugged in the information and it seems to be working. However from my office it always allowed the relaying. The true test will be when I try to respond later from the road.
Thank you for your help. -
Can I share my iphoto pictures with AT
Can I share my iphoto pictures with my AT&T Uverse tv?
Yes, this is exactly how I use iPhoto on my system.
You do need to update the permissions on the iPhoto directory after it's moved to the Shared folder. the default permissions will only permit your account to fully access the files, your wife's account will get errors or not see thumbnails correctly when accessing the pictures from iPhoto in her account.
After moving the iPhoto Library into Shared (and with iPhoto closed), Get Info on the iPhoto Library folder and change the Others access to Read+Write. Let it apply to all enclosed folders, also. Then hold down the Option key while starting iPhoto and choose the Shared version of the folder as your Library. Repeat the iPhoto launch w/option key on the other account as well and each user will access the same set of pictures, albums, keywords, etc. Just make sure you don't open iPhoto from both accounts at the same time. Close iPhoto before walking away from the computer or letting the other person logon. -
I am moving all of my iphoto pictures into seperate folders becuase iphoto is great, but a bit cumbersome when I need to transfer all the pictures to a external drive.
1) After I move all pictures, how can I delete the iphoto pictures without destroying the ones I have in files
2) how can I ensure that I have sucessfully captures all the iphoto files so when I delelte from iphoto I have not forgotten any
3) is there a way to determine what duplicate pictures I have?
Thanks!If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
Good luck,

Need help with finding picture size
ok here is my problem i have this sphere and it works great except when you click the thumbnails to display the picture, depending on the size of the picture, the pictures can get pushed to far over, and i understand why. the x and y coord never change. now my idea is to get the size of picture and use that to adjust the x-coord accordingly. my question is. how do i get the picture size? if i can. do the pictures have to be in the fla?
heres code:
The radius of the sphere, 'rad'. You can change it if you wish
especially if you use thumbnails of a different size than our thumbnails.
var rad:Number=380;
The position of 'board' that will be defined later. 'board' is the main
container containing the sphere and the black background
that reponds to mouse actions.
var posX:Number=stage.stageWidth/2;
var posY:Number=stage.stageHeight/2;
The size of thumbnails. Change the values to reflect the size of your
images.
var thumbWidth:Number=70;
var thumbHeight:Number=53;
The thumbnail images have been imported to the Library and linked to AS3
under the names 'Small1', 'Small2',....,'Small46'. The corresponding
Bitmap objects will be stored in the array 'thumbsArray'.
var thumbsArray:Array=[];
The addresses of the images corresponding to the thumbnails are stored
in 'picsArray'. The images will be loaded at runtime when the user
clicks on each thumbnail.
var picsArray:Array=[];
The Bitmap object corresponding to each thumbnail will be placed
in a Sprite, holdersArray[i][j], as its child. We have to do this
to make thumbnails responsive to mouse clicks.
var holdersArray:Array=[];
In order to depth-sort images on the sphere, we will need to keep
track of their midpoints and the position of each midpoint in 3D.
The midpoints will be stored in 'midsArray'.
var midsArray:Array=[];
The only part of our spherical menu that is hard-wired (and a bit harder
to customize) is the number of thumbnails and their placement on the sphere.
We have 46 thumbnails placed along 7 horizontal 'circles' on the sphere.
The 'jLen' vector describes the number of thumbnails on each circle.
The first 'circle' is the north pole and contains 1 image; the second
is the circle corresponding to the vertical angle of 30 degrees
from the negative y axis. That circle contains 6 images. The next one,
at 60 degree of vertical displacement contains 10 images;
the one after that, at 90 degrees from the negative y axis, is the equador
of the sphere and contains 12 images. Past that, we go symmetrically:
10, 6, and 1 image at the south pole.
All our arrays are organized to reflect that placement of thumbnails.
For example, thumbsArray is an array of arrays, thumbsArray[i], where
i corresponds to the number of each circle. thumbsArray[i][j] is the
j-th image on the i-th of the seven circles.
var jLen:Vector.<Number>=new Vector.<Number>();
jLen=Vector.<Number>([1,6,10,12,10,6,1]);
We use the almost standard parametrization of a sphere:
phi is the vertical angle measured from the vertical axis
pointing upwards (in Flash's coordinate system this is the negative
y-axis), theta is the horizontal angle measured from the
horizontal axis pointing away from the screen; that is,
the negative z-axis. phi changes from 0 to 90 degrees,
theta from 0 to 360 degrees. For each circle, phi is constant:
0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180. 'thetaStep' contains the angular
distances between thumbnails on each circle. Except
for the north and the south pole, for each circle
the angular distance between thumbnails equals to 360 divided
by the number of thumbnails on the circle.
var thetaStep:Vector.<Number>=new Vector.<Number>();
thetaStep=Vector.<Number>([0,60,36,30,36,60,0]);
//The vertical angle between circles.
var phiStep:Number=30;
To make images tangent to the sphere, we need to tilt them
vertically and horizontally. Horizontal tilt is always
equal to the theta angle of the midpoint
of the image and changes along each circle;
the vertical tilt is based on the values
of phi and is constant for each circle of thumbnails.
var phiTilt:Vector.<Number>=new Vector.<Number>();
phiTilt=Vector.<Number>([-90,-60,-30,0,30,60,90]);
//The next four variables are related to auto-rotation
//and rotation by the user.
var autoOn:Boolean=true;
var manualOn:Boolean=false;
var prevX:Number;
var prevY:Number;
//The amount of perpective distortion. Higher values give more distortion.
//Values have to be between 0 and 180 as they correspond to the view angle.
this.transform.perspectiveProjection.fieldOfView=70;
//We define and position the container 'board'.
var board:Sprite=new Sprite();
this.addChild(board);
board.x=posX;
board.y=posY;
//We call the function that draws the border and the background
//of 'board'.
drawBoard();
//Settings for our dynamic text boxes present on the Stage.
infoBox.mouseEnabled=false;
infoBox.wordWrap=true;
infoBox.text="";
loadBox.mouseEnabled=false;
loadBox.wordWrap=true;
loadBox.text="";
loadBox.visible=false;
When the user double-clicks on a thumbnail, the corresponding image
will be loaded into 'loader' - an instance of the Loader class.
'loader' is a child of the Sprite, 'photoHolder', which is a child
of the MainTimeline.
var photoHolder:Sprite=new Sprite();
this.addChild(photoHolder);
photoHolder.x=200;
photoHolder.y=100;
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
photoHolder.addChild(loader);
photoHolder.visible=false;
We will literally 'build' a shere of thumbnails by positioning
them in a Sprite called 'spSphere'. The moment we assign
any of the 3D properties to 'spSphere', for example a value for the z coordinate,
spSphere becomes a 3D container. That means we can place elements in it
in 3D. We will also be able to apply 3D methods to 'spSphere', e.g. rotations.
When 'spSphere' becomes a 3D display object, it has transfrom.matrix3D property.
The latter property holds all the information about the current 3D state
of 'spSphere'.
var spSphere:Sprite=new Sprite();
board.addChild(spSphere);
spSphere.x=0;
spSphere.y=0;
//We move 'spSphere' backwards to avoid distortion of the front thumbnails.
//You can experiment with different values for the z coordinate.
spSphere.z=rad;
//We call several functions defined later in the script.
//They names tell it all.
setUpPics();
buildSphere();
spSphere.rotationY=0;
spSphere.rotationX=0;
spSphere.rotationZ=0;
spSphere.filters=[new GlowFilter(0x666666,1.0,6.0,6.0,2)];
rotateSphere(0,0,0);
setUpListeners();
//The function that draws the black rectangle behind our sphere.
//You can change the values below to change the size and the color
//of the background. Those values do not affect the sphere itself.
function drawBoard():void {
board.graphics.clear();
board.graphics.lineStyle(0,0x333333);
board.graphics.beginFill(0x000000, 0);
board.graphics.drawRect(-640,-490,1180,1080);
board.graphics.endFill();
//We add all the necassary listeners. They are self-explanatory.
//Note that holdersArray[i][j] is the Sprite that contains the
//j-th thumbnail on the i-th circle.
function setUpListeners():void {
var i:int;
var j:int;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,autoRotate);
board.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,boardOut);
board.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,boardMove);
board.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,boardDown);
board.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,boardUp);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,doneLoad);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,loadingError);
photoHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,holderClicked);
for(i=0;i<7;i++){
for(j=0;j<jLen[i];j++){
holdersArray[i][j].doubleClickEnabled=true;
holdersArray[i][j].addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,picClicked);
The functions that are executed in response to events to which we listen.
The next one runs when a loaded picture is clicked.
function holderClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
board.visible=true;
photoHolder.visible=false;
infoBox.text="";
manualOn=false;
autoOn=true;
'picClicked' is executed when any of the thumbnails is double-clicked.
Note that in the function 'buildSphere' below, we assigned names to
all holders, holderArray[i][j]. We need those names now to know
which thumbnail was clicked and which image to load.
function picClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
var targName:String="Double Click Image To View";
var i:int;
var j:int;
targName=e.currentTarget.name;
i=int(targName.charAt(3));

function loadingError(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
loadBox.text="There has been an error loading the image. The server may be busy. Refresh the page and try again.";
function doneLoad(e:Event):void {
infoBox.text="Click the image to close it.";
photoHolder.visible=true;
loadBox.text="";
loadBox.visible=false;
//Listeners responsible for mouse rotations and auto-rotation.
function autoRotate(e:Event):void {
if(autoOn && !manualOn){
spSphere.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(-0.5,Vector3D.Y_AXIS);
zSortPics();
function boardOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
autoOn=true;
manualOn=false;
function boardDown(e:MouseEvent):void {
prevX=board.mouseX;
prevY=board.mouseY;

function boardMove(e:MouseEvent):void {

var locY:Number=prevY;
if(!autoOn && manualOn){
prevX=board.mouseX;
prevY=board.mouseY;
rotateSphere(prevY-locY,-(prevX-locX),0);
e.updateAfterEvent();
The function setUpPics populates the arrays thumbsArray and picsArray.
Note the organization of thumbnails by circles on which they reside:
thumbsArray[0] - the north pole, thumbsArray[1] thumbnails of the first circle
down from the north pole, etc. 'picsArray' is organized similarly.
You can, of course, subsitute your own images, use thumbnails of
dimensions different from ours. Changing the number of thumbnails and their organization
would, however, require rewritting the script a bit.
function setUpPics():void {
thumbsArray[0]=[new Bitmap(new Small1(70,46))];
picsArray[0]=["pic1.jpg"];
thumbsArray[1]=[new Bitmap(new Small2(70,105)),new Bitmap(new Small3(70,105)),new Bitmap(new Small4(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small5(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small6(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small7(70,53))];
picsArray[1]=["pic2.jpg","pic3.jpg","pic4.jpg","pic5.jpg","pic6.jpg","pic7.jpg"];
thumbsArray[2]=[new Bitmap(new Small8(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small9(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small10(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small11(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small12(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small13(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small14(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small15(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small16(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small17(70,53))];
picsArray[2]=["pic8.jpg","pic9.jpg","pic10.jpg","pic11.jpg","pic12.jpg","pic13.jpg","pic1 4.jpg","pic15.jpg","pic16.jpg","pic17.jpg"];
thumbsArray[3]=[new Bitmap(new Small18(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small19(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small20(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small21(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small22(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small23(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small24(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small25(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small26(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small27(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small28(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small29(70,53))];
picsArray[3]=["pic18.jpg","pic19.jpg","pic20.jpg","pic21.jpg","pic22.jpg","pic23.jpg","pi c24.jpg","pic25.jpg","pic26.jpg","pic27.jpg","pic28.jpg","pic29.jpg"];

thumbsArray[5]=[new Bitmap(new Small40(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small41(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small42(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small43(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small44(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small45(70,53))];
picsArray[5]=["pic40.jpg","pic41.jpg","pic42.jpg","pic43.jpg","pic44.jpg","pic45.jpg"];
thumbsArray[6]=[new Bitmap(new Small46(70,53))];
picsArray[6]=["pic46.jpg"];
In the next function we actually create a 3D sphere of thumbnails by positioning
them in 3D within spSphere. Note the center of the sphere is at (0,0,0) of
spSphere. It might be worth recalling that with our interpretation of
phi and theta each point P=(x,y,z) on the sphere corresponding to given values
of phi and theta is given by:
x = rad * sin(phi) * sin(theta),
y = -rad * cos(phi),
z = -rad * sin(phi) * cos(theta).
Within the function, we populate 'holdersArray' and 'midsArray'. We assign thumbnails
to holdersArray elements, position holdersArray elements, tilt them, give them names.
We literally build our sphere.
function buildSphere():void {
var i:int;
var j:int;
var tStep:Number;
var pStep:Number=phiStep*Math.PI/180;
for(i=0;i<7;i++){
holdersArray[i]=[];
midsArray[i]=[];
tStep=thetaStep[i]*Math.PI/180;
for(j=0;j<jLen[i];j++){
midsArray[i][j]=new Vector3D(rad*Math.sin(i*pStep)*Math.sin(j*tStep),-rad*Math.cos(i*pStep),-rad*Math.sin(i*p Step)*Math.cos(j*tStep));
holdersArray[i][j]=new Sprite();
holdersArray[i][j].name="pic"+String(i)+"_"+String(j);
holdersArray[i][j].addChild(thumbsArray[i][j]);
thumbsArray[i][j].x=-thumbWidth/2;
thumbsArray[i][j].y=-thumbHeight/2;
spSphere.addChild(holdersArray[i][j]);
holdersArray[i][j].x=midsArray[i][j].x;
holdersArray[i][j].y=midsArray[i][j].y;
holdersArray[i][j].z=midsArray[i][j].z;
holdersArray[i][j].rotationX=phiTilt[i];
holdersArray[i][j].rotationY=-j*thetaStep[i];
zSortPics();
'zSortPics' depth-sorts all thumbnails corresponding to each view of
the sphere. It sorts thumbnails by removing them (or more precisely
their holders, holdersArray[i][j], as children of spSphere and then reassigning
them based on the z-coordinates of their midpoints.
function zSortPics():void {
var distArray:Array=[];
var dist:Number;
var i:int;
var j:int;
var k:int;
var curMatrix:Matrix3D;
var curMid:Vector3D;
curMatrix=spSphere.transform.matrix3D.clone();
while(spSphere.numChildren>0){
spSphere.removeChildAt(0);
for(i=0;i<7;i++){
for(j=0;j<jLen[i];j++){
curMid=curMatrix.deltaTransformVector(midsArray[i][j]);
dist=curMid.z;
distArray.push([dist,i,j]);
distArray.sort(byDist);
for(k=0;k<distArray.length;k++){
spSphere.addChild(holdersArray[distArray[k][1]][distArray[k][2]]);
holdersArray[distArray[k][1]][distArray[k][2]].alpha=Math.max(k/(distArray.length-1),0.5) ;
function byDist(v:Array,w:Array):Number {
if (v[0]>w[0]){
return -1;
} else if (v[0]<w[0]){
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
The function that rotates the sphere in response to the user moving the mouse.
Note we are setting the z coordinate to 0 before rotation. Otherwise,
the non-zero translation coefficients produce undesirable effects.
Note also that we do not use this function in 'autoRotate'. That is because
when the sphere auto-rotates we want it to revolve about is pole-to-pole
axis. That means prepending rather than appending rotation.
See the function 'autoRotate' above.
function rotateSphere(rotx:Number,roty:Number,rotz:Number):void {
spSphere.z=0;
spSphere.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation(rotx,Vector3D.X_AXIS);
spSphere.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation(roty,Vector3D.Y_AXIS);
spSphere.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation(rotz,Vector3D.Z_AXIS);
spSphere.z=rad;
zSortPics();I won't be searching thru all that code to try to find something relevant to your post, but if you are using a Loader to load the images, you can get the width and height as soon as the loading is complete using the loader object (loader.width, loader.height). You just need to wait until loading is complete, so you'll need a listener for that if you don't have one already.

Hello. I used time machine/time capsule to automatically back up my sytem over the last 3 years and I used the backups to recover my system to a new hard drive when the original drive began to fail. After recovery, I noticed there are missing photos in iPhoto.
I'm curios where I should look to see why they weren't backed up, and why it wasn't obvious to me at the time that they weren't backed up.
Does time machine explicitly call out issues when it can't back up a file or does it just squirrel a message away in the system log?
I'd like to know because I'd like avoid this issue going forward.
Full disclosure & History -
The hard drive on my late 2009 27" iMac was exhibiting issues and started to go bad. No problem I thought, I'll get a new one and recover the system from my time capsule.
The full recovery was initiated from the OS install media. Upon recovery, the system wouldn't boot. After booting from the OS install media and reinstalling the OS on top of the recovered data the system booted and seemed to retain almost everything. This may not be the best way to recover but it seemed to work.
I additionally had to:
repatch the OS
reinstall iWork
relicense MS Office (otherwise office seemed to be intact)
When I started looking through my iPhoto libraries, there were some events with no pictures (mostly the newer events). I couldn't find the pictures on the time capsule either so I'm curios if there was anyway I could have known that backups weren't completing successfully. I had run a time machine incremental backup before pulling out the old hard drive and it seemed to complete successfully so I'm at a loss. I can understand that as the hard drive began to fail, there may have been issues backing up the data, but I somehow missed it if/when the problems were reported.
Should I go through the old system logs that were backed up on the time capsule and look for backupd messages/errors? Going forward, how do I know if there are backup issues?
It took me a couple weeks to realize the drive was failing. I had noticed that the system performance was getting bad, and the system would occassionally hang. It would come back OK after a restart. I thought it was because the filesystem was getting close to full (30GB left on a 1 TB drive) so I was chasing down cleaning up some data to make more room. There were suggestions in other forums to try and keep the filesystem 10% free.
While moving data from the internal drive to a new external drive (to free up space) the system would hang. I eventually found a couple disk0 errors in the kernel log and I actually witnessed disk0 disappear while running an iostat. I'm thinking it took me too long to know the disk was going bad, and so the pictures I imported over the last 3-4 weeks may be gone.
I still have the original drive so I'll see if anything else can be salvaged from it.
Looking for some suggestions on
1) the ability to know if time machine backups are successful and are in sync with my system
2) the ability to know when there are hardware issues that I should be aware of
If you got to this point, thanks for taking the time to read through all this.
Regards,
-mikeHi Mike,
I just saw this post and saw no one has responded. You might have figured out but in case, I wanted to let you know what I found out. I had the same problem. Hard drive failure, they installed a new one and my iPhoto pictures were missing. I couldn't find them on Time Machine either which baffled (and frustrated) me b/c I just backed up my drive and I was missing pictures from over a year ago.
I found this article and it allowed me to at least find my pictures...so they weren't lost after all.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16029742#16029742
As for why they aren't showing up in iPhoto or Time Machine, the lady at the Mac store said it is probably an OS conflict. Which makes sense since I can see the actual pictures in the iPhoto content file (per the article mentioned above). However, I didn't have my computer with me at the store to have a Genius person help me resolve the conflict.
BUT, if you can find the pictures, then maybe you can reimport them into iPhoto? Just a thought.
Good luck! -
Hi,
I am using your software: CS6 InDesign Suiteon a PC using a Windows 7 operating system.
Due to eyesight issues, I need to have the menu bars of programs in easy-to-read font and picture size. Specifically, the menu bar across the top (File, Edit, View, etc.), and the menu bar on the left side with the graphic depiction of options.
In earlier versions of Windows (e.g. XP), whenever I changed the screen resolution on my computer to a lesser resolution in order to show the link icons on my desktop in a larger, more readable size, all the software programs, including yours, appeared on my screen with the menu bars in the larger font size that I needed.
However, in Windows 7, this is not the case. Even though I have selected the lowest resolution, making the icons on my desktop extremely large, I cannot read the options across the top menu bar of your program, nor the pull-down menu items that they contain. I cannot see the graphic depictions of options on the left side of the screen. They are all too small. How can I make your program increase the size?CS6 is not high-DPI compatible/ enabled and that can't be changed. If you cannot6 make it work with your operating system means, then short of joining Creative Cloud and using newer versions there is nothing you can do.
