IPhoto '11: the missing features?

1. Smart albums no longer indicate the number of photos they contain in the sidebar anymore?
2. You can't drag photos to specific web galleries because the sidebar only shows a "web" category and "Add to" doesn't include web galleries?
3. No easy way (no UI elements) to name unidentified faces?

Scrolling through events no longer shows dates.
Sure it does (via the black overlay)
Keywords are no longer displayed in the main browser even when the option is checked in the view menu.
Yes, this makes no sense (and why are we still unable to display other information in the main browser, such as individual photo dates?). Furthermore, I don't know why one would want to hide the keyword field in the "Info" pane!
There is no merge events feature anymore, so you have to create a new event, thus losing the information from the previous event.
Not sure what you mean. I merge events now (as I did before) by dragging one on top of the other.
If I could get a refund and go back to the previous version of iPhoto I would.
I almost removed iPhoto '11, but after further use, I've noticed some remarkable improvements (that info pane is one of them, as well as all the full-screen functionality. It's also noticeably more responsive in full-screen mode on my 27" Cinema Display than iPhoto '09 was.
Seriously, what were the UI people thinking. It's obviously more difficult to use.
In some ways, yes, and in other ways, no.

I tried copying a photo and pasting it in another event/group within iPhoto but the paste feature doesn't work. This wasn't an issue with both Leopard and Snow Leopard. Do you have any solutions or tips?

I bought a new MacBook Pro with OsX Lion as operating system. I use iPhoto a lot and when I tried copying a photo then pasting it to another event/group, the 'paste' feature doesn't work. This wasn't the case with Leopard and Snow Leopard where the 'paste' feature worked. What I did was to paste the photo first to the desktop before transferring it to the new event/group. I brought my Mac to the Apple store where I bought it and the technicians were themselves surprised that the 'paste' feature didn't work. Chalked it up to glitches in the Lion os. So how do we fix this? I just find it absurd that a feature that used to work in Snow Leopard has been disabled in Lion, and the user still has to undergo an additional step to make it work, when new technology is supposed to make things easier for users.
Also, hasn't anyone noticed that it takes longer for the computer to boot upon opening?

Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command

VELOCITY-EDITING IN PIANOROLL - THE MISSING FEATURE

Working with Logic for many years, its a thrill to discover that the guys at Apple have done a great job on this upgrade. I have only had L8 for a week now, and it seems promising. BUT..somethings missing.
When altering velocity in Pianoroll(as its now called), there´s a feature that was SO cool in L7, that they somehow "forgot" to implantate in L8. Imagine a recording of fx. a HH expanding over 8 bars. Could be from an imported session which you have to adapt to new samples. The velocities are way to far apart. In L7, selecting the events, you could click somewhere between the events in the hyperdraw-section and move the pointer down, making the gab between the events smaller towards the center(until all the events were lined up in the middle..if that was your goal). Moving the pointer upwards moved the events further apart.
I hope this will be corrected in a future update..!!??

thanks.
another missing important feature that makes the customer spend more money
the sad thing is that it is a feature that used to exist, I wonder who decided it is unnecessary...

Missing features

I'm delighted with many aspects of iPhone, but there are several "missing features":
1 - There is no <Find> or <Search> function at all. Being used to Spotlight on Mac OSX, I expected to be able to search for keywords in text messages, contacts, notes, etc etc etc. This is a grave omission and reduces the functionality of iPhone for me. Let's say I'm looking for an electrician, and I know I have someone in my contacts, but can't remember his name. I should be able to hit <Find> and type in "electrician" - which would deliver a list of contacts and notes containing that word.
2 - There is no way to send a Contact to another phone via Bluetooth or Text message. Every other phone I've ever had (from some really old Nokia phones to the latest Sony Ericsson) had this function. You could select a contact, then open a menu and choose "send as...", and then select how to send the info, either via Bluetooth or Infrared (if applicable) or simply via SMS to another person's phone. This is VERY restrictive.
3 - As a Mac user, I am used to contextual menus everywhere. Hold <ctrl> and click and you get lots of options wjich relate to whatever you are doing. There are no menus at all on iPhone. I'm sure this was intentional, but it would really be useful to have menus in many areas. For example, to send a contact as noted in my point 2 above. Or to re-name a pin in Maps.
4 - What about being able to copy and paste text? I can't believe this is not available. It ties in with my suggestion above for contextual menus. We really need more functionality on the iPhone
I do LOVE the phone and find the whole experience captivating, fun and intuitive. However, the missing features noted above really sour the experience.

Missing Features in BT Cloud

The thread is intended to keep together a list of BT Cloud features that people would like but that are not present. It is sometimes difficult to keep buts and missing features apart; if posting please try to keep to the 'missing features' subject. While I can, I will edit this first post rather than adding extra posts as I add extra comments.
BT Cloud is a new service (or a new interface to an old service) so has many missing features; with luck if we record these the team will try to get them added at some point. I have found them very responsive on the issues with speed (even though they haven't yet managed to resolve them), and I hope they will be equally responsive here.
~~~~~~~~
Sharing of directories
I can share files but not directories. On the Windows GUI, 'Share' is greyed out when a directory is selected. On the web GUI, you can select 'Share', but all the options are then greyed out except 'Show Sharing History'
~~~~~~~~~
Multi-select
Normal multi-select options don't work in either GUI.
Expect shift-click to select a range of files/directories.
Expect ctrl-a to select all.
etc.
~~~~~~~~~~
Not enough control of when backup happens
No control to prevent BT Cloud starting when computer starts
Also, it starts instances for ALL users ~ in many cases backup will only be required from one 'main' user.
No pause button to pause backup
No exit button to stop backup altogether
Correction: these buttons do exist, but are in a completely non-conventional place,
after clicking left button on the notification icon a secondary (nonstandard) pair of icons comes up,
if you right-click on the left of these you get a useful menu with pause, exit and help.
These should all appear on a right button click of the notification icon,
and help should be available from the main screen as a button or by hitting F1.
~~~~~~~~~~
Backup of folders from network drive
Don't seem to be able to select folders from a network drive to back up.
Dones not work using either network drive directly, or via mapped drive letter.
~~~~~~~~~~
Easy backup of music files from android
This is available on Windows, and can be done manually on android, but esasier interface needed on Android

You will have to disregard my previous comments. It seems that when I tried to use the BT Cloud app for the first time it had not set up fully. There was no access to the help pages.
A section by section read through the instructions shows that most features in my listing are there. Even a pause feature, and of course, being able to quit the app..
For every day use the app seems to be fully effective.
Other users with more advanced demands may find some problems.
The demands on the Windows 7 operating system are low, using little processing time and only a minor RAM usage.

Missing feature waning

I am trying to look at this warning on health monitor.
We had tried a farm solution which wasglobally deployed and later retracted and removed it as well. However now we see this wanring

upgrade if necessary.
we got his wanring for all site collection db's
what willbe correct way of finding if this is same solution feature waring ? and how to correctly it so as future upgrades don't fail.

thanks. was little confused.
added solution, and deployed it globally
I disabled feature ID's which were showing up(noted earlier ) in error for test site collection first using Disable-SPFeature –Identity ID of feature –url http://sitecollection name –Confirm:$false
later retracted solution .
reanalyzed rule. The errors referring to testsite collection DB are gone.
do i need to verify anything else? or can i go ahead deplou solution back and then run disable-SPFeature on rest of live site collectiosn as well?

Missing features in UCM for decision making based on cost vs needs

Hi Experts,
I understand that UCM is a component in ECM. However what I'd like to know and can't seem to find anywhere is a summary or explanation on missing core features of UCM that can be found in IPM, URM and IRM. For example, a feature that is highlighted in URM is digital asset management however digital asset can also be stored in UCM.
I need to know briefly (high level, mid level if it is necessary) on the missing features in UCM that are in IRM, IPM and URM so I can decide on going between ECM or UCM, taking cost into factor. FYI I will be having WebCenter too and future add on will be BPM suite.
Thank you,
bav

bav,
first, let me correct few things in your statements:
I understand that UCM is a component in ECMECM (Suite) is a suite of products, one of which is UCM.
Since 11g, IPM and URM have been re-written so that they have UCM as its foundation (document storage). URM was UCM-like even in 10g, IPM was quite different.
IRM is a completely different application, which can serve as a security add-on regardless the document storage.
For example, a feature that is highlighted in URM is digital asset management however digital asset can also be stored in UCMWhere have you found that? DAM is certainly a UCM feature (can't imagine correlation to Records Management, if there is some, it is with Web Content Management).
I guess you have seen that both URM and UCM both contain Record Management - in a nutshell, UCM's RM can be used for simpler scenarios (sometimes referred to as 'retention management'), whilst URM is necessary for formal records management scenarios - compliance to legislative norms, such as DoD 5015.2 or MoReq2. URM also contains Physical Content Management.
missing features in UCM that are in IRM, IPM and URMFor URM, I believe, to get a high level info is enough what I've written above.
For IPM, see this post: Re: Difference between UCM and IPM
For IRM: as I have written, it is a completely different cup of tea - in a nutshell, IRM allows so-called 'sealing' of documents. E.g. rather than having a Microsoft Word file (.doc), you will have encrypted file (.sdoc - 'sealed' .doc), which a user can open only if he or she is authorized to do so. Whilst security in UCM/URM/IPM restricts users from having access to documents (or search for them), IRM restricts reading the document once you have it. It can also restrict other operations like print, copy from the document (even to screenshot), prevent untracked changes, etc.
I hope it will give you some initial insight.

Missing features in iphone 4

Dear Gentlemen,
I live in Saudi Arabia, and I bought an iphone device from there with the 4.2 Version software.
I was surprised that a lot of the iphone features were disabled, such as facetime and internet tethering. Anyhow, I have a US itunes account, and I thought that when I update the device with software to 4.3 all the missing features would be enabled (including the new features of the personal hotspot, etc...)
but unfortunately non of the disabled features were enabled, nor that the new features offered by apple were installed.
Please help me solve this issue, knowing that I don't want to jailbreak my device.
Many Thanks in Advance

Btw, I forgot to mention that some of my friends bought their iphone devices from UK and US and the features that I miss work fine with them even with Saudi service providers

Missing features in PSE9, screen reso problem?

So we already know that the screen resolution is the reason why the Advanced Dialog box is missing. But what else?
I noticed that when creating a new album in Organiser (clicking the large green plus sign under albums on the bar to your right), you are supposed to have a box with Backup/Sync under the Album Name. I don't see mine, does anyone else?
As I go through the classroom in a book elements 9, if I come across anymore missing items I'll post them here. If anyone else notices something is missing please post it.
Thanks

ok, at least that helps me to understand more. you see, the user/reader won't know if the missing feature is country dependent or a bug in the system. that's why i posted this discussion, because more than two problems without an answer will cause the user/reader to just dump the product. i paid quite a bit for book and program so i don't want to give up just yet.
the book really should let the reader know that the feature might not be available due to this or that, instead of letting us think our computers or programs are failing us. i see that it tells you if your have a mac the feature won't work.
thanks!

How to remove missing features and webparts?

I've moved and upgraded a 2007 teampoint site to my Enterprise SharePoint 2010 site. The site is up and running but I've got this nagging error about a missing webpart and a missing feature.
The features that were not compatable were not used so what SharePoint 2010 would allow me to remove has been removed. Now I have this error message that still needs to be dealt with.
[MissingFeature] Database [WSS_Content_2007] has reference(s) to a missing feature: Id = [75a0fea7-cd50-401e-af0e-782f3662a299]. The feature with Id 75a0fea7-cd50-401e-af0e-782f3662a299 is referenced in the database [WSS_Content_2007], but is not installed
on the current farm. The missing feature may cause upgrade to fail. Please install any solution which contains the feature and restart upgrade if necessary.
[MissingWebPart] WebPart class [768ec641-8c6a-1cc6-6465-185094919a93] is referenced [1] times in the database [WSS_Content_2007], but is not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature/solution which contains this web part. One or more web parts
are referenced in the database [WSS_Content_2007], but are not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature or solution which contains these web parts.
So, I'd like to remove the references from the database for the feature and webpart mentioned in the error. I can't seem to spot how to do that with stsadm, it reports that the feature is not installed which leads me to conclude that I just need to remove
the reference from the db. Is there a SharePoint way to do this or am I destined to remove it manually from the db myself?

Is new Numbers missing features as new Pages is?

I was greatly dismayed at the eviscerating update of Pages. Due to the missing features, new Pages is unusable to me. I haven't yet looked at the new version of Numbers. Is it eviscerated as well? Is it also missing features of the software it was meant to improve on?

Trying to restore photos from external drive and realized TimeMachine had been turned off. Found in Imac backup folder in iPhoto library a modified folder with many of the missing pics. Can I restore these?

I recently had a hard drive crash on my iMac. After replacing the drive, I discovered that TimeMachine had apparently been turned off for six months, and all my photos from that period were missing after the restore. In looking on the external drive used by TimeMachine, I discovered a folder called Imac backup, and under iPhoto Library was a folder called Originals and subfolders for each year. To my surprise, there were photos covering the missing time period! Somehow I imported the 2011 folder from the external drive into iPhoto, and then I discovered they were small files of less than 100 KB each, not the 1-2 MB original photos. So now all of 2011 is screwed up, not just from May on. These photos also include faces pulled from many larger group photos.
I can get Jan - April restored using TimeMachine. But in continuing to explore the Imac backup folder, I found a similar folder in iPhoto Library called Modified. This folder has many of the missing photos in their original MB size in folders indexed by date for the missing period after April. Is there a way that I can get these modified photos back onto my new hard drive and into the iPhoto library without causing more damage? If TimeMachine was turned off after April, how did those modified photos and all those small images from the missing period find their way to the external drive?
Any wisdom greatly appreciated.

What you want to do is merge the two Libraries? The only way to do this is to use the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
I created a new iPhoto Library on the iMac and dragged the entire iPhoto Library from the MacBook into that new Library. It worked, however it all came over into one big album and my previous album structure was gone
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.

HT4927 I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there. Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing

I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there. Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
That means you imported one Library to another.

So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
So, what to do?
Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.

Missing features on iPhoto for iOS 7

After the announcement of redesigned apple apps, I immediately downloaded the new iPhoto for iOS.
Aesthetically, this new iphoto is more clutter free than the previous version. However, a lot of very important features on the previos version is missing.
1. Creating facebook folder within the app is missing
2. Tagging people within the app and the option to tag them in all photos to be uploaded
3. Creating description within the app
4. Batch uploads are now limited to 10
A lot of users are using iPhoto because of these featured aside from it's editing prowess. So please Apple! Add these missing features again!

Just updated to Iphoto 9.1.3 but the slideshow feature not working

Just updated to Iphoto 9.1.3 but the slideshow feature not working at all. Screen goes white but any features selected, nothing is produced .The themes preview windows are blank too. is there something missing?

Sounds like it.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
