IPhoto 5 select multiple problem

Currently running iPhoto 5.0.4 and I cannot drag more than one photo into a photo album. I have not had this problem with past versions and I am pretty sure it is a bug of some sort. I have trashed the preferences file, clean installed iPhoto from the disc, rebuilt the photo library and still cannot move multiple photos. Anyone having this problem and have a solution? When I select multiple photos and go to drag them instead of showing a number above the desired location, it does nothing.

Apparently it had to do with a missing font in my system font folder (Helvetica.dfont). No idea how the font was lost, but I guess the number for moving multiple photos uses this font and without it, the process wouldn't work at all.

Problems selecting multiple files

I just replaced my MacBook Pro with a newer version. I am trying to organize my photos and cannot select multiple files or photos.
I'm needing to organize in Pictures not iPhoto.
I've had Macs for years and never had an issue before.
Thanks,

the problem is you are not stoping the writing to file when you hit the end of one file.
At the server you should count the number of bytes that you write to the disk and should stop when the total count reach the file size.
Or you have to completly change your protocole to handle entire file as one unit.
Ex:-
public class MyFile implements java.io.Serializable{
String path;
private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream oos){
   oos.defaultWriteObject();
   byte b[] = new byte[1024*128];
   int i = 0;
   FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(path);
   while ((i = fis.read(b)) >=0){
      oos.writeObject(trim(b,i));
   fis.close();
   oos.writeObject("EOF");
private byte[] trim(byte b[], int i){
    byte b2[] = new byte;
System.arraycopy(b,0,b2,0,i);
return b2;
// You should be able to write the read object method

Cannot select multiple images in iPhoto '08?

What am I doing wrong? I want to select multiple images to either print several on a page, or publish to a gallery, but for the life of me I cannot find a view which shows me all photo thumbnails or all thumbnails in an album or all in an event. I can spin the mousewheel to singly go through them, or I can hit edit and go to full screen where I get a thumbnail bar and can select multiples and view them at the same time, but printing or publishing this selection only recognizes the first photo as selected. If I try to select View>Thumbnails, the subsequent menu options are grayed out, and the top one is "hide" even though I see no thumbnail bar. Is there something very obvious I'm missing, or has something gone awry and I should reinstall?
<Edited by Host>
Any one can help them?
Thanks

There's a slider down right of the iPhoto Window - drag it left.

How do I SELECT multiple albums in iPhoto?

I can select a single album:
select album "Album A"
But, How do I SELECT multiple (non-contiguous) albums in a list?
Something like :
select album's {"album1","album3","album9"} --(doesn't work)
-TIA
G4 powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I agree, it seems to just be limited to children of Library.
I'm going to use your 'build command' to deselect all Library items. That way, the novice computer user will get visual feedback that Library items won't be processed.
----------------applescript
tell application "iPhoto"
set _selection to selection as list
--getting selected albums inherently omits Library albums (a bug IMHO) .
set _albumsSelected to {}
repeat with _album in _selection
set end of _albumsSelected to _album's name
end repeat
-- Now, reselt albums to deselect Library albums.
set commandString to "select (albums whose name is "
set firstLoop to true
repeat with albumName in _albumsSelected
if firstLoop then
set commandString to commandString & "\"" & albumName & "\""
set firstLoop to false
else
set commandString to commandString & " or name is " & "\"" & albumName & "\""
end if
end repeat
set commandString to commandString & ")"
run script {commandString}
end tell
Thanks Bernard for your help. I just changed "contains" to "is" because in my tests I had "untitled album", "untitled album 1" etc. Then, because of the first "untitled album", all iterations were re-selected (not desirable).

How do I select multiple photos from iPhoto and upload them to a Facebook album?

I have transferred ALL my photos from my iPhone into my Mac. They are now in iPhoto. I recently created an album and I want to put the photos from iPhoto into it, but not all the photos. I have quite a lot of photos to put in, and I don't know how to select multiple photos and put them in the album. Help me please!

Create an album in the left hand pane of iPhoto and drag the 4 photos into it. Open the albume and select all four photos and click on the Share button. Next select Email and go from there.

Selecting Multiple Objects with Output Preview Causing Problems

I'm trying to edit a PDF and need to select multiple objects. Without Output Preview open, I can easily select all the items I need using the shift key. With Output Preview open, whenever I try to select the second object, Output Preview creates a sticky note, instead of selecting the second object.
I am also using the PitStop Pro plug-in.
Any idea how to correct this problem? Thanks!

Unfortunately it seems that the new sticky note feature with the output preview in Acrobat XI uses the same keyboard shortcut as multiple selection tool in Pitstop (shift).
Closing the output preview is the easiest way to get around this issue.
We could consider changing the key for multiple selection in PitStop, but 'shift' is pretty much a default, so what could we change it too?
If anyone has any thoughts could they email me, I am the product manager responsible for Pitstop at Enfocus and my email is '[email protected]'
All feedback gratefully received.

Selecting Multiple Photos in iPhoto

I just purchased my first mac and I'm having trouble learning a few things...
1) I can't select multiple photos in iPhoto to upload to walgreens.com to have them print etc..
2) If I transfer photos from my camera to my mac, do I have to duplicate them to iPhoto and my picture file? If I don't copy them from iPhoto to my normal picture folder I can't seem to find the pictures from 3rd party upload sites.
3) Is there a stinking "home page" button anywhere here when using the internet browser?
sorry for the non iPhoto toss in

Cole
Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
1) I can't select multiple photos in iPhoto to upload to walgreens.com to have them print etc..
There are many, many ways - probably the easiest and most general is to flag the photos you want to upload then make a new smart album where photo is flagged, select all the photos in the new album and export them to a folder and upload from the folder
I recommend that you go to www.apple.com and take the tutorials listed on the right side of the page - they will save you a great deal of time in the future
2) If I transfer photos from my camera to my mac, do I have to duplicate them to iPhoto and my picture file? If I don't copy them from iPhoto to my normal picture folder I can't seem to find the pictures from 3rd party upload sites.
No - click here for a discussion of safely and easily accessing your photos.
3) Is there a stinking "home page" button anywhere here when using the internet browser?
At the right end of the address window there is a yellow left facing arror - click it to return to the first page you opened (or the page you marked for snap back)
Again it will help a lot to take the Apple tutorials

I assume the first column contains the standard selection field of the ALV grid.
To enable the proper method of seletion, you need to pass the appropriate SEL_MODE in the your layout structure:
SEL_MODE is either SPACE, A, B, C or D.
Google for ALV grid PDF and you'll find some documentation on ALV grids in general.

Multiple Problems with 4.2.1 update

Hi. I installed 4.2.1, and am experiencing multiple problems ever since.
1.) battery life is horrible I can fully charge it, and three or four hours later it is completely dead.
2.) wifi is wonky or, mostly, nonexistent
3.) ringtones vanished, and the default rings are barely-audible.
4.) I keep getting a random message that I need to sync my photos.
5.) Ipod volume seems to have gone down. I can crank my car stereo up all the way, and sometimes it's still not enough to hear my music.
I have a two year old, non-jailbroken 3GS which I run on a macbook, and I'm pretty good about updating itunes and iphone OS on a regular basis. I've searched at length to find fixes and am just at my wits' end. I loved this phone, at least pre 4.2.1 I did!
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, Action.
Thanks very much for the well considered, thorough answer.
I got everything working again (though will see what the battery does today), and this is what I did. I'm not sure which thing worked.
1.) One blog I found suggested doing TWO hard resets in a row, which I did.
2.) I went to
settings
Safari
clear cookies/history/cache
and cleared them all, twice, to be sure.
3.) I went to
settings
reset
reset network settings
4.) I went to
settings
reset
reset all settings
5.) I deleted all my photos one by one (I had already saved everything I wanted to iPhoto), and discovered that (and I don't know if this is normal or not, but I had never noticed this before), one of my albums was "locked". This was an album of photos and jpgs I had tinkered with using various apps, Photogene, etc. I could view only. Couldn't delete or flick to resize anything in the album. When I synced my phone, I checked "sync photos" but made sure no album or other boxes were checked. This deleted the locked album, emptied my entire "Photos" app, and consequently removed the "sync photos" message I kept getting. I took a few test photos to doublecheck, and the message hasn't reappeared.
I note that this is not only making my camera open faster now, it's making it take photos faster, and darned if they aren't better resolution as well. I had noticed, but not connected with 4.2.1, that my photos were really grainy and poor quality lately.
6.) I did the opposite of what someone on this forum suggested. I always selected my one ringtone, which is what their suggestion was. I only have three, so when I synced, I selected "all", and it defaulted back to giving me a choice. My ringtone, btw, was a home made one, which I am very attached to. I spent hours researching how to salvage it, and thankfully, didn't have to get into figuring out how to change the extensions and length of the the thing as other forums suggested at terrifyingly great length.
Memos and email are also opening faster, and I have my fast wifi back again while at home.
It's kind of like a heart failure. I didn't realize I was getting slower and more winded, it was so gradual over the past few weeks. And now I've had a miracle recovery, and am ready to go run some sprints, lol.
Thanks very much for your suggestions and quick answer. I spent hours and hours researching my problems with 4.2.1 and my ringtones.

Selecting multiple clips in Imovie for Iphone for plus Ipad 2?

hi guys first post on these forums i hope you can help.
I recently downloaded imovie from the app store for my iphone 4 and so far have been really impressed with it. However there is one problem i'm having. I would like to select multiple clips from my camera roll without having to keep going back into the media section and having to scroll down to find the clips for everyone i want to add. Is there a way of selecting multiple clips? any help appreciated!

There is a way to load multiple video clips at once on iMovie's timeline on the iPad.
I have been able to load multiple video clips into my iPad's iMovie's timeline at the same time, but this process requires the combined use of iMovie and iPhoto and won't work if you have iOS 8 running on your iPad.
This is the way I do it. You create an iMovie project (Movie) on your iPad. iMovie will show the video clips that you can load to the timeline, but, as you have probably already found out, you can't load more than one clip at a time in iMovie's timeline. My videos have sometimes 100-200 clips, so loading them into the timeline one-by-one is a very long and tedious process. I do this instead:
(1) I go to iMovie and load the first clip on the timeline using iMovie. (This needs to be done to avoid iPhoto importing its background music to your video clips in iMovie.)
(2) Then I get out of iMovie and go into iPhoto. iPhoto shows you all the photos, but more importantly also all the videos in your Camera Roll.
(3) In iPhoto, I select the next video in the Camera Roll (the one right after the clip that I already placed on iMovie's timeline).
(4) Next, I hit the icon at the top of iPhoto that takes you to the "Share" section (the icon is a square box with an arrow pointing to the top). This will open a dialogue box that has a section there for "Apps" and you will see the iMovie icon.
(5) Select the iMovie icon, it will open a dialoge box that reads at the bottom: "Choose Photos...".
(6) Select "Choose Photos..."
(7) Now you can select up to 15 video clips in iPhoto to load into iMovie's timeline. You select each video by tapping it, it becomes encased in a white square and will show a check mark.
(8) After selecting up to 15 video clips, hit "Next" in the top right corner, you will be taken to iMovie.
(9) In iMovie, you will be asked to select the project into which the clips are to be placed. Select the project and the clips will all be loaded at once into iMovie's timeline.
Repeat the process again each time to load more clips; the process will place each new group of clips on iMovie's timeline right after the previously loaded clips. When you return to iPhoto, the clips that appear encased with a heavy white border are the ones that have already been placed in the timeline for iMovie; select the next uncased clip and 14 more and load them into iMovie in the same way as described before.
One word of caution: This process only works using iMovie and iPhoto together. iPhoto does not work with iOS 8! (Thank you, Apple!) That's why I don't have iOS 8 on my iPad, so, the process works fine. I hope this helps.
Cheers,
stukajoe

Hi Sahoo,
If you are using the class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID. In methods SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY.
in layout structure you will find field SEL_MODE
pass :
LS_LAYOUT-SEL_MODE = 'A'.
In PAI.

How do I select multiple email address for a single person in my address book when creating a new email?

I am coordinating a large group of people and created a group list of over one hunderd people. The group is families and each person in the address book has several e-mail addresses. How do I select all the email address under each person in the address book so every family member recieves the e-mails?
It appears I can select any ONE email address but selecting multiples from any one person is not allowed, why is that? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

I am attempting to upload multiple photos on a mac pro from a cd. I have tried holding the "command"button down to select multiple photos but it does not work. Please advise. Thanks,John

why not sort by (name, date, etc) and Click on 1st and Shift-Click on last.
Might work better to copy or import to a project folder.

Having multiple problems with script - NTFS Permissions and AD Groups

Hi, all! I'm having multiple problems with my first script I've written with Powershell. The script below does the following:
1. Prompts the user for a corporate division under which a shared folder will be created, and adjusts variables accordingly.
2. Prompts if the folder will be a global folder or an office/location-specific folder, and makes appropriate adjustments to variables.
3. If a global folder, prompts for the name. If an office/location-specific folder, prompts for each component of the street address, city and state and an optional modifier. I've prompted for this information in this way because the information
is used differently later on in the script.
4. Verifies the entered information and requests confirmation to proceed.
5. Creates the folder.
6. Creates an AD OU and/or security group(s).
7. Applies appropriate security groups to the new folder and removes undesired permissions.

My problems right now are in the assignment/removal of security groups on the newly-created folder, and the problems are two-fold. Yes, I am running this script as an Administrator.
First, I am unable to remove the BUILTIN\Users group from the folder when this is an office/location-specific folder. I've tried to remove the group in several different ways, and none are having any effect. Oddly, if I type in the lines directly
into Powershell, they work as expected. I've tried the following methods:
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
$FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
$FolderACL.Access | where {$_.IdentityReference -eq "BUILTIN\Users"} | %{$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($_)}
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
$FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
$BIUsers = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("BUILTIN\Users")
$BIUsersSID = $BIUsers.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($BIUsersSID.Value,"ReadAndExecute,AppendData,CreateFiles,Synchronize","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
In the first case, the script goes through and has no apparent effect because afterwards, I do a get-acl and the BUILTIN\Users group is still there, although when looking through the GUI, inheritance appears to have been broken from the parent folder.
In the second case, I get the following error message:
Exception calling "RemoveAccessRuleAll" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."
At C:\Users\tesdallb\Documents\FileServerBuild.ps1:110 char:5
+ $FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : IdentityNotMappedException
This seems strange that the local server is unable to translate the SID of a BUILTIN account. I've also tried explicitly putting in the BUILTIN\Users SID in place of the variable in the New-Object line, but that gives me the same error. I've
also tried the solutions given in this thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ad59dc58-1360-4652-ae09-2cd4273cbd4f/remove-acl-issue?forum=winserverpowershell and at this URL:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730951.aspx but these solutions also failed to have any effect.
My second problem is when I try to apply the newly-created security groups, I also will get the "Some or all identity references could not be translated." I thought I had found a workaround to the problem by adding the -PassThru option to
the New-ADGroup commands, because it would output the SID of the group after creation, however a few lines later, the server is unable to translate the account to apply the security groups to the folder.
My first Powershell script has been working well up to this point and now I seem to have hit a showstopper. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I was hoping to stay with strictly Powershell, but unless I can find a Powershell solution, I may resort to ICACLS.
As for the problems with my groups not being translatable right after creating them, I think I have solved this problem by using the -Server parameter on all my New-ADGroup commands and this example code seems to have gotten around the translation problem,
again utilizing the -Server parameter on the Get-ADGroup command:
get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) | fl
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
# Add the new normal users group to the folder with Read and Execute permissions
$GroupSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupName -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
$SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupSID)
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity,"ReadAndExecute","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
# Add the management users group to the folder with Modify permissions
$GroupMGMTSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupNameMGMT -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
$SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupMGMTSID)
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity, "Modify", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
Going this route seems to ensure that the Domain Controller I'm creating my groups on is the same one that I'm querying for the group's SID to use in the FileSystemAccessRule. It's been working fairly consistently.
Still having issues with the translation of the BUILTIN\Users group, though.

Expecting the user to press "Ctrl" when selecting multple rows is very unfriendly and unintuitive. We'd like the row selection to work as in ALV where you just select multiple rows by clicking on them.
We've set the tables rowSelectable to true and selectionMode to 'multi' but we still cannot select multiple rows without the CTRL hotkey.
This issue apparently [arose before|About selection in the table] but wasn't resolved.

Hello Marc,
you need to call IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->set_selected(index = lv_index) sorry for the typo in my previous comment.
by calling IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->set_selected method wont remove the lead selection.
to unselect the records, you can call the same method by passing the FLAG value as abap_false.
so for your usecase the logic will be like this in the ON_SELECT event handler
1. get the index of the new_lead_selection
2. check whether this is already seleted in the context node by calling IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->IS_selected
3. if already selected then call IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->set_selected( flag = abap_false index = lv_index)
   if not selected then call IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->set_selected( index = lv_index )
Hope this solved your problem.
BR, Saravanan
