IPhoto deletes geo data when dragged out

Hi,
when I drag a photo out of iPhoto to say the desktop, the geo data is perfectly preserved and there when reimported on another Mac.
Not so with my wife's iMac. When dragged out to the Finder, the photo loses it's geo data. That is bad.
I dragged photos out of iPhoto forever, as this method alway exports the original file. Or so I thougt. I would like to avoid the File > Export way.
We're both on Mavericks and the latest version of iPhoto (9.5).
Preferences > Advanced >Include location information for published items
is checked.
Any help is very appreciated.
Cheers
Sebastian

If the shot has never been edited - even simple things like auto-rotate - then dragging will get the original. However, if there has been any processing at all then it only gets the Preview. The preview doesn't carry all the metadata - it's actually designed for uses where that doesn't matter.
The item in the Preferences refers to images published online.
File -> Export is the way to go. That's what it is designed for.

has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

HI, I need your help. How can I delete all data, when I do not have the special security code, which I didn´t remember ? I also think, that I never create this code before. But I cannot put my settings back.

You must remember the code, if you can't then take the phone and proof of purchase to an Apple Store.

IOS 5's iPad memory management deletes app data when memory is low.

ForeFlight claims iOS 5 includes a new file management feature that arbitarily deletes files to make room for new data when iPad memory is insufficient. The only warning given to the iPad user is a "cleaning" symbol. This makes no sense to me. Something is missing from this story. Has anyone heard of this.
Read ForeFlight's warning to its user base here: http://blog.foreflight.com/2011/10/14/flying-with-foreflight-and-ios-5/

I think that makes it quite clear:

Scrollview only releasing image data when scrolled out of bounds

Hi all,
I cannot understand why my memory isn't released.
On my iPhone program I have a tableview with an image in each cell. When the images are loaded the I can see a thread in Instruments with ObjectAlloc, that calls CALayerPrepareCommit about 10 times -> CGContextDrawImage->some more stuff->ripc_AcquireImage->more stuff ->imgdatalock. I assume this is where the OS actually draws the Image on the screen. But the memory is never released! Only when I scroll the tableview out of bound is the memory released. Visually the tableview is the same and the images are still there after the scrolling. This is a lot of memory and I need to know why it isn't released.
I set the image in the tableview here:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
cell.accessoryType = self.showDisclosureIndicators ? UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator : UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
//Clear previous content
NSArray *subviews = cell.contentView.subviews;
for (UIView *subview in subviews)
[subview removeFromSuperview];
//Set Image
[cell.contentView addSubview:[thumbnails objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
return cell;
thumbnails is an array of views:
while (thumbnailsRemaining && getThumbnails) {
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
UIView *containerView = [thumbnails objectAtIndex:nextThumbnail];
UIImageView *imageView = [[containerView subviews] objectAtIndex:0];
NSInvocationOperation* imageOp = [[NSInvocationOperation alloc] initWithTarget:self selector:@selector(getImageForImageView:) object:imageView];
[imageQueue addOperation:imageOp];
[imageOp release];
[imageQueue waitUntilAllOperationsAreFinished];
nextThumbnail++;
[pool drain];
and each image is loaded here:
- (void) getImageForImageView:(UIImageView *)imageView {
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
[imageView setImage:image];
thumbnailsRemaining--;
[pool drain];
I also have a scrollview with images and behaving exactly in the same way when scrolling out of bounds.
I am really lost, so any help is appreciated.

When a cell is scrolled out of the visible area, UITableView normally adds it to the reusable cell queue, so that's why you aren't seeing that memory released. I think the queued cells might get released under low memory conditions. You might want to try Hardware->Simulate Memory Warning on the Simulator.
In any case, see if this link is helpful: [http://idevkit.com/forums/tutorials-code-samples-sdk/2-dynamic-content-loading -uitableview.html].

Finder tabs get stuck on desktop when dragging out

Hello everyone
After the Mavericks update I had some trouble with the new Finder tabs feautures. Whenever I drag a Finder tab and release it on the desktop it seems like it is going to dissapear but during the animation out it freezes. I have attached two screenshots of my desktop where you clearly can see the problem. Does anyone have an idéa how to fix this?
Thank you
Yours sincerenly

Hi,
MBPro Retina, me too as well… … (and this is not the only one problem I have with the Mavericks Finder).
I fear that this is due to some "extra" application or prefs … but I have not idea which one.
I suspect this because me too, logging with another "clean" user account I have not this problem.
But neither quitting all extra applications or booting in Safe boot does not solve anything.
Annoying.

When dragging out tabs of finder, a mini finder appears on desktop !

Here's the short video (26s) about this problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT_Qbu3NwTo
Can only close them when relaunching the finder ("Force Quit", Log Out, Restart,...)

hello acskip, i don't know if it may be related but you can try to remove the ''WiseConvert G2 Community Toolbar 3.18.0.7'' extension in firefox > addons > extensions...

Can't drag out some pics

I'm trying to get a few pics out into a folder on my desktop. I'm dragging them out and all's going well, but all of a sudden, there are a few random pics that won't go out. When I try to drag them out, I get the little circle with a line through it next to my icon. Why on earth would there be some images in my iPhoto that I can't drag out of iPhoto???
Thanks,
Dan P.

When I select "Show File" it takes me to the modified folder for that event, but the file is NOT there. When I select "Show Original" it takes me to the actual file in the originals folder.
It appears that a LOT of my modified files (modified only because of the camera's auto rotation I believe, not due to anything I did) are gone.
I tried choosing "Revert to Original", but that appears to have no effect, since after doing so, the menu still has the options "Show File" and "Show Original". I tried simply copying the original over to the modified folder and that appears to work, but have been told I should never manually move files around in those folders.
This is VERY frustrating, I don't know what to do. I just tried to export a picasa web album, and it won't let me because it's looking for modified files that aren't there.
Any further input appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan P.

Why does iphoto delete placeholder text?

why does iphoto delete placeholder text when I try to send photo in email?

When I downloaded photos from a camera SD card using an adapter, I noticed two Albums were created in the Photo app.(Last Import & All Import). Like you stated, there is no option to delete excess photos without deleting all of them. So this is the lengthy steps I went through to delet the extra album (I hope someone comes up with a shorter process):
1) Connect iPad into your PC (Make sure you configured to Sync with iTunes)
2) Go to My Computer > right click and open Apple iPad > right click and open Internal Storage > right click and open DCIM. (This will show the photos from those to Albums only)
3) Right click on a empty space on the desktop
4) Click on New > Folder
5) Go back to the DCIM files and right click on each file(one at a time) then copy and paste each file over the New Folder.
6) Go back to the DCIM files and open each folder and right click and delete each photo.
You will notice that all the same photos are being deleted on the Photo app simultaneously.
7) Then drag the New Folder into you Pictures on the PC.
8)Then open iTunes on your PC and click on the Photo tab and click Sync on the bottom right to import those photos back to your iPad.
I hope my scenario can apply to you.

External editor getting error window when trying to load photo in iphoto yet I can drag out of iphoto to the desktop then load right into photoshop with no errors

I use Photoshop elements 9 to edit , since the last up-date when I'm in iPhoto and click edit in external editor when photoshop opens it sits there a minute and and then a error window comes up saying something about an unvalead jpeg marker can't open but I came drag the image out of iPhoto to the desktop and then open it with photoshop with no trouble ? help I'm running 10.6.7 on a 2007 mac pro iPhoto 11 Ver. 9.1.3

There's a bug in iPhoto 9.1.3 when using Photoshop as the external editor when trying to edit a tif, png or psd file. That's because iPhoto is just duplicating that file and changing the extension to jpg without acutally changing the photo's format. That's why PS says it's an unknown format.
No know solution at this time except edit only jpgs and raw files in iPhoto with Photoshop. Also send a bug report to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

Date changing when dragging/copying photos

Help! I am trying to organize my iPhoto library. I am essentially dragging my photos from my library to a folder or dragging them to an externa hard drive so I can then organize them into a new library. The dates and times are correct in iPhoto. Then, when I drag them into a new folder the dates will completely change. I had an event with 4 photos in it and the correct date for all photos was 4/19/05. When I drag this event to a folder in my pictures file or when I drag the event into dropbox, the date on 2 photos changed to 3/17/11 and the date on the other 2 photos changed to 9/30/09. Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can stop it????

Suggested by a friend, I realize may be controversial... but, I have run out of room on my hard drive and need to dump my photos onto an external hard drive. So, here is what I am doing:
1) I create a folder in my pictures folder in Finder (Home --> Pictures --> New folder) for photos from a particular year (let's say 2008, let's say the folder is named Photos 08)
2) I drag an event/events of pictures taken in 2008 from my main iPhoto library into the folder Photos 08. This is the step in which I see the date change.
3) I switch to a different iPhoto Library (let's say Photos_2008). I have so many photos that my friend and I thought it would be easier to break them down into smaller libraries.
4) I import the photos from the folder Photos 08 into the iPhoto library Photos_2008. When I import the photos into the new library they all come through but they are lumped into one event called Photos 08 and the dates are still wrong. At this step, I have been manually correcting the dates.
5) then, I move the Photos_2008 library onto the external hard drive (actually 2 different external hard drives to be safe)
6) I make sure the photos are there by opening iPhoto from the external hard drive, and then delete (all the while cringing) the events from 2008 that are in my main iPhoto library
Does that make sense? Do you have any better ideas on how to get these onto the external hard drive? I'd like to keep some of the photos and my more recent photos on my computer but need to get the other ones off.
Also, a little background info... in early Sept '12 my system crashed. I also back everything up with Time Machine so they ended up reformatting my hard drive and then I used Time Machine to get everything back on my computer. Since then, my computer has been a mess. Multiple users with the same photos, songs, documents, etc. duplicates, triplicates of photos, documents, songs, etc. on my computer. A real mess.
Thanks for any advice you can offer,
StephPH

IPhoto: Retain modified date&time details when re-importing

Instead of having all my photos in just one iPhoto library, I am now moving out photos into separate iPhoto libraries to better manage my photos:
... Export photos from existing/old library
... Re-import photos into newly-created library
Some of my existing photos have modified date & time (result of not checking camera clock after a service!)
Is there a way to retain these modified details when exporting photos from the OLD library and re-importing them into the NEW library?
I am really hoping not to re-edit the photo attributes
Thanks in advance

I am using iPhoto 6.0.6 I do not know of any option "modify original photo". Other than 'batch change' there is no option.
You are posting in the iPhoto '08 forum and will get iPhoto '08 answers here - if you want iPhoto 6 answers it is best to post in the iPhoto 6 forum
I xferred the pics from my camera to a new folder on my desktop. The times are all correct in that folder.
Again - how are you seeing that the time is correct? iPhoto looks at the EXIF data and the finder looks at the file data - how are you seeing the EXIF data on the desktop? EXIF viewer - http://homepage.mac.com/aozer/EV/index.html - is a useful utility to have to see the EXIF data
You can create a fresh plist - that might be the issue but I doubt it - quit iPhoto and in the finder to to "your username" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and delete it - launch iPhoto and reset any personal user preferences you have changed and if you have moved the location of the iPhoto library repoint iPhoto to it

In iPhoto if I select View, then Sort Photos by title, how do I stop it reverting to sorting by date when I close iPhoto and re-open it later?

In iPhoto if I select View, then Sort Photos by title, how do I stop it reverting to sorting by date when I close iPhoto and re-open it later?

In what mode, Events, Photos or in an Album, are you when you select View ➙ Sort ➙ By Title?
As a first fix attempt try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

'Error occurred when deleting master data (RSDMD118)'

Helo Gurus,
When I tried to delete master data prior to the reload, its giving an error message 'Error occurred when deleting master data'. RSDMD 118.
We are currently working in BW 3.1. We checked for SAP notes for the same. But not Able to find any. So please help me to sort it out the problem as early as possible.

Hi Mathew,
Are you sure that those master data are not used in any infoproviders? As far as I know you cannot delete master data if that is used in infocubes or DSOs.
You can also try transaction SLG1 with:
Object = RSDMD
Subobject = MD_DEL
and click on "Execute", this might give you the reason why data cannot be deleted.
Regards,
Csaba

Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected to sync! Please help)

Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected iPhone to sync! Please help)

It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.
