IPhoto 11: Have no option to Create New Smart Album

I can not find Smart Album under "Create". There are no photos selected. iLife has created a mess with this new update. Thanks for your help

Gee! I'm not stupid! There is no menu> create new smart album!
But he didn’t say there was. He said:
to create a new smart album go to *file menu* ==> new ==> smart album

IPhoto 8.1.2 can you create a smart album with only one face

I'm using iPhoto 8.1.2 and have about 23k photos in the library. I have identified 32 key faces, and would now like to create some smart albums that contain only the face or faces that I want and to exclude all the others. S for example a smart album that has only my son.
I tried using the doesn't contain this face, but you can only have around 10 filters/critiria in a smart album.
any suggestions are appriciated

You can't really, because you can't exclude enough of the faces.
I would keyword the preferred images as well, so finding the face and the keyword would find the pics of the person alone.

No "New Smart Album" option when filtering "Photos"

When filtering all photos in the library using the filter bar, there's no option to create new smart album from the results, only for "New Album with Current Images". The option to create a new smart album only seems to appear when you're filtering a project.
Why?
You can create a smart album which filters the entire library, why doesn't Aperture allow the reverse: filter the entire library, and use the results to create a smart album?

That's a good question. No idea why the option to create a smart album is missing in that context but that doesn't mean you can't create a smart album that works on the entire library. In fact all the predefined smart albums under +Library Albums+ work on the entire library.
To create your own smart album that works on the entire library select +Smart Album+ from the New pulldown, just make sure nothing is selected when you do this and the Smart Album will work on all images in the library.
To check what part of the library the Smart Album is selecting from look at the Source: line of the filter HUD.

IPhoto- no option to "create new library"

Hi all
When I try to import new photos into iPhoto I get the message that there is not enough space in my library to allow it. I have searched for this issue alone on these message boards and have seen I need to check my memory (I have over 90gb free) and then to try "create new library" when opening with command and alt button, to see if there's any concerns in doing that.
My issue is that I don't have the option to "create new library." it is not there at all. I have already tried rebuilding it from this option but I still get the not enough memory warning.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks

To create a new Library you hold the option (or alt) key when launching, not the command and alt keys
However, ths message is bogus - after all you have 90 gigs free - and usually implies a damaged database.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

PSE9/Win 7: Can I create a Smart Album of all images that Don't have a certain tag?

Using PSE9 on Windows 7.
I'd like to create a Smart Album that contains all of the images that don't have a particular tag.
When I click on Create New Smart Album the dialog box allows me to select 'Keyword Tags'.
But the next item is 'Include'. Then I can select that tags I want.
I basically want the Include to be 'Exclude'.
Any way to do something like that?

Hi,
You could try this.
1) Show all photos
2) Check the Keyword Tag that you are interested in
3) Under Options Select Hide best match results & Show results that do not match (i.e. reverse the last two conditions).
to read
That should be showing you what you wanted to see
4) Now use the top option Save Search Criteria As Smart Album and give it a name
That seems to remember the reversed conditions as well as the tag.
Good Luck,
Brian

New Smart Album is Full of Pictures

Trying to create a "Smart Album" in the hopes that transferring a video there will eventually allow me to export the video from iPhoto to somewhere outside of iPhoto. But every time I create a "Smart Album" it's filled with 45 photos...the same 45 photos...from elsewhere in iPhoto. How do you create an empty "Smart Album" in iPhoto?

a smart album contains all of the photos that meet the certeria you set - the only way tohave an empty one is to have a criteria that nothing eets

In MAX, I don't have the option to create a DAQmx Simluated Device. Why not?

I'm new to LABView. I installed the software, including the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Within MAX, I am trying to create a DAQmx Simulated Device, as suggested in a training guide (which I quote below). I don't have the option to create such a thing upon right-clicking on "Devices and Interfaces". I am given the option to create a new GPIB-VXI Interface, a Port, VISA TCP/IP Resource, and GPIB-ENET/100. I'd appreciate if someone can help me to create a simulated device according to the following steps, given that I currently lack the option "NIDAQmx Simulated Device":
3. Create a simulated DAQ device for use later in this course. Simulated devices are a powerful tool for development without having hardware physically installed in your
computer. Right-click Devices and Interfaces and select Create New…»NIDAQmx Simulated Device. Click “Finish”.
4. Expand the M Series DAQ section. Select PCI-6220 or any other PCI device of your choice. Click “OK”.
Thanks.

It sounds like you didn't install DAQmx. Open MAX and get a list of the software present. If you don't see DAQmx listed, install it from the CD/DVD or download the latest version.

Option to Create new Security Policy in UME is not available

Hello,
We are on NW CE 7.1 EHP1 and MII 12.1.7 build 47.
I have "Administrator" role, "MII Super Administrator" role, few custom roles and I also ensured that "Administrator" role has Action "Manage_All" and I am able to perform all of the activities on UME except that I don't see any option to create new security policies, all I can do is modify the Default Security Policy and save it.
It never shows me an option to create new security policy and I am not sure what roles or actions I am missing.
I need have different security polices for different users based on their roles.
1) Are there any roles or actions that my profile needs to have?
2) Is it something to do with NW CE version?
3) Has something gone wrong or have we missed some configuration while installing NW CE?
I had posted similar question in MII forum but was recommended to post in NW forums.
So any suggestions will be of great help
Thanks,
Adarsh

what is Security Policy ?

When I updated to iOS 8.3 I lost all shared photo albums on my iPad Air. Other devises which I shared to still have access to photo albums but my iPad does not, therefore I can no longer add or delete to shared albums. I can create new shared albums.

Hello JimS19,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If you are having issues accessing your Shared Albums from your iPad (but not from your other devices), you may want to double-check your iCloud Photo Sharing configuration as outlined in the following articles, just to make sure it hasn't changed:

I have an error when creating new folders, it renames the folder below it to the same name (super - next folder - parent's next sibling...)

if I try to add a new folder to a sub folder, the program does add the new bookmark folder, but it also renames the next folder in line in the parent of the original "subfolder" to the exact same name...
maybe I just need to reload the mozilla, maybe I was hacked and that is what they changed...
I also have a similar problem with microsoft explorer, every time I try to add a new folder it gives it a starting wierd name besides "New Folder"

HT2476 Why when clicking the right mouse button for my external hard drive there is no option for "create new folder"?

Hi there. I'm having a problem with my external hard drive. Actually with only one of them (others seem to be ok...). The problem is that when clicking the right mouse button (or using other ways to do the same), in the drop-down list there isn't an option for "create new folder". Please, can anyone help with this issue?

The drive is NTFS formated. Most probably that's the reason, but there is some info on the drive which I wouldn't like to loose. If there is a way to re-format the drive and save the files, that would be great. If there isn't such a way, then please, tell me how to re-format it. But bear in mind as well that I'm using Parellels and the drive is to be used in Mac and Win modes, both. Just to add some more info: my other drive is FAT32 formated and all seems to go well with it.

Can't create New Smart Mailbox Folders

I can't create New Smart Mailbox Folders. If I go to (menu bar) Mailbox the 'New Smart Mailbox Folder' item is greyed out.
Any ideas on what the problem is, or what I could try?
I already have quite a few Smart Mailbox Folders in Mail, but if I remember correctly I created all these in Tiger & haven't made any since using Leopard (clean install).

I found the answer and it is really stupid. To ungrey the "New Smart Mailbox Folder" menu option you need to unselect any folders or mailboxes. The quickest way to do this is just click just below them, on the blue-grey bar.
