IPhoto.db and others VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION!

I have an "iPhoto library" folder which contains an iPhoto.db file. What is this file?
Then within this folder there are some other folders:
let say one is called "Laura" which contains: .ipspot / iPhotoLock.data / Library.data / Library.iPhoto / Library6.iPhoto / Thumb32.data / Thumb64.data / ThumbJPG.dat / AlbumData.xml / Dir.data
This "Laura" contains a subfolder called "GOTEBORG" which is itself an iPhoto library with all the files I mentioned above for "Laura".
The only file I find ONLY in the first level folder "iPhoto library" is this iPhoto.db
I'd like to have all the "Laura" and "GOTEBORG" pictures in 2 separate iPhoto libraries (I use iPhoto buddy to switch between them), but I'd also like these folders to be independent, ei: not have "GOTEBORG" within "Laura"....
Can I take this "GOTEBORG" folder and drag it out of there and keep maintain a organised iPhoto library for it?
Same question for the "Laura" folder.
Thanks in advance and good luck!

JP:
You might want to consider using the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager because it will let you move rolls or albums of photos from one library to another and maintain the keywords, comments, etc. That way you can put all of your GOTEBORG photos in the Laura library in one roll and then use iPLM to move it to the GOTEBORG library. Later you can delete those from the Laura library. The same would go for the Laura photos in the GOTEBORG library. iPLM makes it pretty seamless and easy to organize multiple libraries.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing

Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing. System resources monitor shows only 700MB (of 5GB allocated to Photoshop) RAM and 30% CPU is used to perform such tasks as healing brush. Process bar comes up and is painfully slow to complete the task. I don’t understand why does Photoshop not use all the resources available/allocated? No other programs are running at the time, I have tried all the suggestions on this forum and all over the Google. My brand new system is: Intel I7 4770K overclocked to 4.3GHz, 8GB 1600 RAM, Samsung PRO 120GB SSD system drive, 100GB scratch disk. The photos I usually work on don’t exceed 20MB in size. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the answer.
I have not mentioned the GPU because the processes I described (as far as I know) are not supposed to be using GPU resources. So far I have not been able to afford the GPU i want which is GTX770, so I use Intel 4600 built in graphics instead. To be honest I find, that 4600 graphics is quite powerful. I am able to play Mass Effect 3 on Full spec on max res without game slowing down. And Windows 7 64bit index score is 7.8 for the 4600 graphics. Overall index score is 7.8 on my PC righ now.
I'll try to get the Photoshop system info as soon as possible.
Thanks again.

Help! Suddenly iTunes/iPhoto/AddressBook and others won't open

Recently when on Safari, i'm told by certain websites to update Safari, when it's already current. Then today shockwave won't load when I go to any web page. Now iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and other programs won't open. I can still get on the web, still use some programs like FileMaker Pro and Safari. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Hi stoph-man,
First of all, Welcome to the Apple Discussions Forums!

Very difficult question.........

This is a question that has not been able to be solved yet by about a dozen professionals I have ran into over the weeks trying to figure it out.
I have a logo that is over a white background that is letter boxed.
I am trying to fill the top & bottom black areas with white color to make the whole background white.
I have tried numerous amounts of composite combinations and all provide great results, but there is a major issue during transitions.
**During a transition, you can slightly and quickly (depending on the lengthy of transition) see lines from the letterbox. This is very difficult for me to explain but you can slightly see an outline of the top edge and the bottom edge of the box where the letter boxing begins. But once the transition is over, both whites mix together and you have a whole solid color.
Does anyone know what the heck I'm talking about?

I'm not sure of the best way to describe it but what you're describing makes perfect sense. The two sources that you have layered are not identical, so as you dissolve and the layers become less opaque you start to see the differences.
Two easy fixes and Brian already gave you one.
The other thing you can do is export the composite you have created and then reimport the new file. Once it has been combined in his way you won't have that problem.
PS... I'd be suspect of those "Pro" qualifications if they couldn't figure that one out.
EDITED
Whoops. Sorry, I see that Tall already made my suggestion #2... Sorry Stretch.

Another very very difficult question for EXPERTS

Hello again to all my friends at Macromedia. A big hello to

Although I am glad of all your futile attempts to help me and
I very pleased

You all need to do some homework to reach this standard.
Perhaps you are not

perplexed. I
understand!! This sintax is quite complicated to the
untrained eye but
thankyou all anyway.
My new question is this:
How do I put my beautiful new webpage on the Internet?? I
would like it to
appear inside the Microsoft website as it will benefit all
Microsoft users.
How do I put it there?? Very tough!!
Thankyou.

Not much, print it using you printer (it's should be not far
from your
computer: Have a look around and if you find something with
paper inside,
that's the printer). Put the papers in a folder and send them
to Someone at
MS (You don't need to put a name: Usually it's Mr. Gates the
one who uploads
the pages himself, but I'm sure there are lots of MS experts
that will be
glad to help with the job).
Just a reminder: if your pages need to be uploaded as soon as
possible,
don't forget to put some extra Air Mail stamps on the
envelope!
Best of luck trying to find the printer!!

Why does my iPhone 4 turn itself off and is very difficult to restart

My iPhone 4 is less than a year old but has developed the habit of turning itself off after a few hours of un-use and is extremely difficult to turn on again. It seems the only way to restart it is to hold the on/off and sleep/awaken buttons on simultaneously for many seconds. Very frustrating AND I sometimes miss important calls - help please!

Do you have a case on it that might be pressing your power on button or might press your power on button inadvertently when you touch it.

Best Font for Subtitles? and other General Subtitling questions?

I've never had to use subtitles, until my current project, so I am looking for some general advice and suggestions.
I will be using PPCS3 (on XPpro) as the subtitles (as in the kind that translate a foreign language) will be permanent.
So here are my questions:
1. What is the best font and or what is the most standard font for subtitles? (Font size and other characteristics may be worth mentioning here too.)
2. Is it possible to have an outline around the text as opposed to shadow?
3. What are some general rules of thumb for subtitles that apply to broadcast and cinematic productions?
Thank you.

Managing files and other newbie type questions

I'm trying to decide between FCPX and Premiere Elements. I manage most of my media with Aperture. I've learned a whole lot already in a few solid hours of use of the trial. The integration with Aperture/iPhoto is very nice and keeps me out of Adobe Organizer which I do not care for. I have a signficant time investment in Aperture libraries, so the extra $$ for FCPX might be worth it -- if I can learn it.
It appears that FCPX currently will not directly import AVCHD (from Sony) with 5.1 -- it is brought in as stereo. Or am I missing something? I can get it in re-wrapping it with ClipWrap. But that adds $50 to an already expensive piece of software (for me.) I have an older mini-DVD camcorder (also Sony). Actually the camcorder is toast, but I have the mini-DVDs. Can I import these and keep the 5.1 or do they need an intermediate step?
I can't figure out how to go from FCPX to Aperture, if that's possible. If I import with FCPX, do I have to turn around and re-import into Aperture? (We really like having it all in one app for browsing the photos/videos.)
If I import with FCPX and do not optimize, I understand I can do this later on the fly if I choose to use the clip, right? The unoptimized video quality of the imported clips is not worse than the source, correct? This will save me a ton of disk space if I can use this fast, unoptimized import. I don't edit 80% of the source.
I've figured out how to do a Picture-in-Picture type deal but I can't find in help or elsewhere how to resize/transition the Picture-in-Picture. Here's what I'm doing: We're filming a high school band. The primary video is the big picture, wide view of the band. Then when a soloist performs, I overlay a separate video of them moving into position in "picture-in-picture" type of window. When they actually perform, I would like to put in a transition where this picture in picture "explodes" or zooms out to fill the screen. I can't figure this out. When the soloist is done, I want to reverse it. This whole process looks like a perfect example of multi-cam edits, but I'm still trying to figure that out.
Thanks for any pointers.

Ok, multi-cam is not the way to go for this. Thanks.
Keywords... that's what I'm discovering now. Very nice organizational stuff in there I've been missing with iMovie/PrE. I don't have that many clips yet, but eventually this will be very handy.
I'm going away from the PIP deal. We tested it last night and even on a 55" screen, it's really just kinda gee-whiz. You don't get enough detail to see what he's doing. So I'm just transitioning now from main clip to soloists and back. The wide screen shot was totally useless in a little PIP window anyway. Since the whole show is only 10 minutes, I'll just give them two videos. One edited with soloists/visuals one raw video of the whole band for marchign critique.
Actually, if you decide that the PIP stuff does not work, this brings multicam back into the process.
PIP was the only reason why I advised against going with multicam for this.
It would be nice if the end user could pick the camera angle they wanted while watching.
Thanks for the inputs. I will read up on keyframes as you suggested.
-Jack
You can't offer that kind of interactivity to the user, but with multicam you can offer your best choice of angles - and can even easily produce two or more different versions.

Backup VHD size is much more than expected and other backup related questions.

Hello,I have few windows 2008 server and i have scheduled the weekly backup (Windows Backup) which runs on saturday.
I recently noticed that the actual size of the data drive is only 30 GB but the weekly backup creates a VHD of 65 GB.This is not happening for all servers but for most of the server.Why is it so..and how can i get the correct VHD size..60 GB VHD does't make
sence for 30 GB data.
2. If any moment of time if i have to restore entire Active Directory on windows 2008 R2 then is is the process same as windows 2003..means going to DSRM mode,restoring the backup,authoritative restore or is there any difference..
3. I also noticed that if i have a backup VHD of one server (Lets Say A) and if i copy that Backup to other server (Let Say B) then windows 2008 only gives me an option to attach the VHD to server B but through backup utlity is there any way to restore the
data from the VHD,Currently i am doing copy paste from VHD to server B data drive but that is not the correct way of doing it..Is it a limitation of windows 2008?
Senior System Engineer.

Hi,
If there are large number of files getting deleted on the data drive, the backup image can have large holes. You can compact the vhd image by using diskpart command to the correct VHD size.
For more detaile information, please refer to the thread below:
My Exchange backup is bigger than the used space on the Exchange drive.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/3ccdcb6c-e26a-4577-ad4b-f31f9cef5dd7/my-exchange-backup-is-bigger-than-the-used-space-on-the-exchange-drive?forum=windowsbackup
For the second question, the answer is yes. If you want to restore entire Active Directory on windows 2008 R2, you need to start the domain controller in Directory Services Restore Mode to perform a nonauthoritative restore from backup.
Performing Nonauthoritative Restore of Active Directory Domain Services
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc816627(v=ws.10).aspx
If you want to restore a backup to server B which is created on server A, you need to copy the WindowsImageBackup folder to server B.

My TM is backing up my external drive with iPhoto, iTunes, and other media, I don't want it to, but it persists even unless I disconnect the drive

I have two external drives, one for TM and one for iphoto and itunes. I don't want them backed up. Why can't I get this to happen except when I disconnect the itunes/iphoto disks

Check System Preferences -> time Machine - > Options and add the external hdd to the list of things to not Backup.
It is always a good idea to backup important files like Photos - nothing is worse than losing the Photos and having to explain it to the significant other who has an emotional attachment to them.

Properties panel vanished and other new installation questions

I have installed CC 2014 in a new computer including DW CC. When I open a file, the properties panel, normally at the bottom of the page is missing and I have been unsuccessful at restoring it, which leads to question one: How can I resetor the properties panel? Secondly, for most of the other programs I have found a way to move/copy/ preferences, etc. to the new computer. I have not found that for DW 2014. Can someone steer me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance to those who know more than me,
Joe

Murray, the AHA moment! Ctrl-F3 does the trick. I looked for properties in the Window menu previously but it did not show. Ctrl-F3 puts it back.
Thanks a million!

Mac Speech Dictate and other Audio Recording Questions

Thanks again for this great resource. I have a Macbook Pro, my first issue is I want to record audio from my stereo system, through the headphone output. I can't use the cables because I have an AV splitter, I have a DVD, Satellite, TV, all going through the splitter and to the stereo system, so I need to record stuff to my Macbook Pro from the stereo headphone output.
How is this accomplished?
My second question, is it possible to use Mac Speech Dictate to pull segments of audio from a radio talk show into typed text? I sometimes write transcripts of talk radio segments for a blog and it takes such a long time to pause, type, pause, etc. I am looking for the best solution to just play the audio and have the program type it out.
Once I have the best program, how would I get the audio in, would the internal mic pick it up if I played the audio through my stereo system at a loud volume?
Thanks for your time and any assitance you can give me.

Hi there,
I'm having issues understanding what you want to do with the cables from your stereo. Do you want to record the talk show from the stereo into your MBP? If so, then you can use a simple Y-adaptor (Stereo RCA -> 1/8" minijack) to connect your stereo's audio output to the MBP's line-in jack. Or, are you trying to go the opposite direction? MBP to stereo? Sorry for my confusion.
Edit: I'm sorry, I completely misread your first post. If you want to go from the stereo's headphone jack to the line-in on the MBP, you only need a 1/8" to 1/8" male-male cable. Is that what you were looking to do?

Aspire R11 (R3-131T): Locating the SSD and other general upgrading questions

So, I managed to find the RAM with no problem, but I can't find the SSD. I'm starting to think it is just integrated into the motherboard, but at the same time, I'm told I can upgrade it.

Questions:
1) how do I upgrade the size of the SSD?
2) there is this small area next to the motherboard. The void is filled with a metal brace. Can a SSD be placed there? And if so, how would I connect it to the motherboard?
3) can the CPU or GPU be overclocked? I understand that there is no fans, so it would have to be minor overclocking.
4) is there a way to increase cooling, whether that be via fan or heat sink?
5) aside from the SSD and RAM, is there anything else that can be upgraded?

Problem accessing iphoto pictures and other files from previous system.

Hello,
I tried to install Leopard, upgrading from Tiger, using the install disc.
The cpu hanged on blue.
I tried all the disc permissions protocol, with no immediate success.
Overnight it somehow came up and was usable, however, I could not access my files in iphoto and open office etc
In the 'previous systems' folder on my HD it is still there and of the correct size, however I cannot access it-it is grey and has a cross through it.
I ran disc permissions before and after uploading combo updater X10.5 from the apple site.
It still would not grant access.
I re-installed the system running disc permissions before and after and archived the HD.
I then carbon copied (using that software) the HD to an external HDD and erased and installed leopard.
I still cannot access the old photos in iphoto and the new iphoto has no photos in it.
Any suggestions as to how to resolve this? The priority is to access the old photos again, preferably still in their folder and album form. Though accessing all old files would be still better.
Thanks-I've been going at this for a few days now...
Best wishes,
GMT1

It's solved now-thank you
This is what was done:
1) Quit iPhoto, if it is already running
2) Open a Finder window to show Backup HD>Previous Systems>Users>Pictures
3) Open another Finder window above or below it and navigate to Macintosh HD>Users>Pictures
(It's easier to keep track if you have both windows in column view)
4) Drag and drop the old iPhoto Library onto the new Pictures folder. It will warn you that if you are about to replace "iPhoto Library". Click "Replace" - it may require your password.
5) Open iPhoto
Thanks to a person on another forum named Leewave, who came up with it just now.
Thanks to all and best regards.

Mavericks installation gave me an error message, I had to erase my HHD and now I don't have my iPhoto, iWeb, and other programs from iLife

I used to have iPhoto and iWeb, which I used constantly and now that I've installed the new software they are nowhere to be found. I looked for the programs in the App Store but they are charging for them.
Please, it's enough that I had to erase all my data from the HD and lost many of my files while doing it because the Mavericks update gave me a error message while installing.
I upgrated from Mountain Lion.
I have an iMac.
Thanks.

I didn't have the applications backed-up... I was not expecting to lose them over an OS upgrade either... yeah, I know, it felt like a once-in-a-life-time experience when I encountered the message (or FATAL ERROR in windows terms).
I don't know where my original installation disc is, I have kids... I no longer have control over where stuff is anymore, especially a disc thingy LOL
Anyway... I lost my iMovie, iWeb, iPhoto... BTW iWeb is not even for sale on the app store anymore.
Apple... really?
