IPhoto organizing/help viewer

Organizing by date seems inoperable in Faces - how do you use it?
Also, iPhoto Help says it's unable to open that content under the help viewer. I've repaired permissions as suggested in another post to no avail. Any other ideas?

This is strange. Let's make sure I'm on the same page as you are. I click on a face in the Faces window (w/cork board) and bring up all of the faces for that single person that's when I can see and use the sort by date or any other option. The window I'm has a button at the top titles "All Faces". Are we on the same page? I've been off on a tangent before.
This is what I'm referring to-in the faces window for one person:

To create a new photo library:
Quit iPhoto.
Rename your current iPhoto Library folder in the Finder or move it to a new location on your hard disk.
Open iPhoto.
Click Create Library.
etc..
its a nice help story , but where is that click to create library ?
that button doesnt exist...
ooops mistake from apple ....
check for yourself.. iphoto version 6.02
i use macbook pro 2.16 osx 10.4.6
help viewer Version 3.0.0 (144.1)

Hi Peran,
what happens when you rename the current library or move it out of the Pictures folder, then launch iPhoto?
to tell you the truth, it is much easier to hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto until you get the message screen. In that message screen are two buttons: one to "create" a new library, and one to "choose" another library to open.

Ok somehow my sister deleted all my photos off my photo booth and now all my pictures in my iphoto i cant view them i just see white dots and boxes can anyone tell me how i can get my deleted photos back and how can view my photos again please !!!

ok so somehow my sister deleted all my photos off photo booth and now all my photos on iphoto i cant view them i want to know how i can get my deleted photos back and how to view the rest of my photos please help !!!!

Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.

Iphoto 6 help

Just upgraded to iphoto 6 and works fine except for the help topics, that for some reason keeps using iphoto 5 help ( when I click on "what's new" always shows iphoto 5 version ). Any ideas?

I had the same problem and wrote about it here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=319812&tstart=0
The solution was to clean up HelpViewer preferences and cache. Instructions for doing that are here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/helpviewer.html
I only did steps 1-6.
Essentially, you trash the HelpViewer preference files:
com.apple.help.plist
com.apple.helpui.plist
com.apple.helpviewer.plist
Then trash Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.helpui folder.
The only side effect is as noted at www.thexlab.com:
When you next launch Help Viewer, you may notice that the Library
menu (Tiger, Panther), Home pop-up button (Tiger), or the Help
Center (Jaguar) lists Help for only a few applications. This is not a
problem. When you next launch applications that provide Help via
Help Viewer, their Help will again be listed in the Library menu or
Help Center.

Are Cube organized materialized view with Year to Date calculated measure eligible for Query Rewrite

Hi,
Will appreciate if someone can help me with a question regarding Cube organized MV (OLAP).
Does cube organized materialized view with calculated measures based on time series Year to date, inception to date eg.
SUM(FCT_POSITION.BASE_REALIZED_PNL) OVER (HIERARCHY DIM_CALENDAR.CALENDAR BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT MEMBER WITHIN ANCESTOR AT DIMENSION LEVEL DIM_CALENDAR."YEAR")
are eligible for query rewrites or these are considered advanced for query rewrite purposes.
I was hoping to find an example with YTD window function on physical fact dim tables with optimizer rewriting it to Cube Org. MV but not much success.
Thanks in advance

I dont think this is possible.
(My own reasoning)
Part of the reason query rewrite works for base measures only (not calc measures in olap like ytd would be) is due to the fact that the data is staged in olap but its lineage is understandable via the olap cube mappings. That dependency/source identification is lost when we build calculated measures in olap and i think its almost impossible for optimizer to understand the finer points relating to an olap calculation defined via olap calculation (olap dml or olap expression) and also match it with the equivalent calculation using relational sql expression. The difficulty may be because both the olap ytd as well as relational ytd defined via sum() over (partition by ... order by ...) have many non-standard variations of the same calculation/definition. E.g: You can choose to use or choose not to use the option relating to IGNORE NULLs within the sql analytic function. OLAP defn may use NASKIP or NASKIP2.
I tried to search for query rewrite solutions for Inventory stock based calculations (aggregation along time=last value along time) and see if olap cube with cube aggregation option set to "Last non-na hierarchical value" works as an alternative to relational calculation. My experience has been that its not possible. You can do it relationally or you can do it via olap but your application needs to be aware of each and make the appropriate backend sql/call. In such cases, you cannot make olap (aw/cubes/dimensions) appear magically behind the scenes to fulfill the query execution while appearing to work relationally.

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon!

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon for a wedding reception!

What version of iPhoto are you using? How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen? If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD. That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like. If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart bin at the left.
Click to view full size
If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
Click to view full size
When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk. Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play. If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

"Help viewer cannot open this content"

In iPhoto '09 Help window I would get the following error message when I tried viewing any topic:
"Help viewer cannot open this content"
Problem solved with help from "Apple Expert" phone support following these steps:
1. reboot in safe mode - I think this clears system cache and runs a disk repair utility
2. reboot
3. delete ~/Library/Caches
4. empty trash
5. log out
6. log back in
7. empty trash
Apparently the problem was caused by a corrupt cached file.

This worked for me.
From http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/helpviewer.html#Anchor-Reset-35882
Quit Help Viewer if it is open. Leopard users should click the red Close button in the upper-left corner of the Help Viewer window. Users of Tiger and earlier can press the Command-Q (Quit) keyboard shortcut.
Trash the following three files in your Home > Library > Preferences folder, if extant:
* com.apple.help.plist
* com.apple.helpui.plist
* com.apple.helpviewer.plist
Trash the following two folders in your Home > Library > Caches folder, if extant:
1. com.apple.helpui folder
2. com.apple.helpdata
Empty the Trash.
Test that Help Viewer is now operating normally.

Hello michelefox17
It's sounds like you may need to rebuild your iPhoto Library. The article below has the steps on how do that.

Hi Sri,
it looks that your HANA instance has been created before we enabled the web-based development workbench. Some privileges are missing, we can't migration those existing instances.
Nevertheless you can ignore the error above. You can see all the content inside your instance "smstest1".
If you want to get rid of the cosmetic issue. You might delete this instance and create a new one.
Best regards

Help viewer does not work after update to 10.4.4

Since updating to 10.4.4 my Help viewer does not work, and all of the troubleshooting fixes suggested in other threads have not had any success in resolving this. I've noted that when I go to Users>Library>Documentation>Help there is no mac.help file - can someone tell me if that means that I've lost the file altogether and need to reinstall it? I get to the first screen of the viewer, but the links from there don't work. Thanks for any help that you can provide!

Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded OnyX and ran the cleaning function. After restarting, I opened Help and once again the first screen appeared fine. But again most of the links did not work, though those under the "What's New" heading did work. I might add that I had previously tried a variety of suggestions posted in another thread, which included deleting from the caches folder in Home>Library several files such as com.apple.helpui and help.plist in the Preferences folder. (As noted in my previous post this evening, I also created another user but that also did not have any effect.) Any other ideas? Thanks

How to use Help View 2 in standalone Winform app similar to VS Package Help2 from DTE2

Hello,
We are successfully obtaining a DTE2 object and then the Help2 object to connect our context id names with triggering the Help Viewer 2 in a VS package but can’t seem to do the same outside of VS.
Here’s a sample of how we handle getting it okay from the VS package code:
dte2 = Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(DTE)) as DTE2;
help2 = (Help2) dte2.GetObject("Help2");
Then we can set out context id like this:
helpId = “MYFORMCONTEXTIDHERE”;
help2.DisplayTopicFromF1Keyword(helpId);
Within VS this works fine for our package. However, the winform app version can’t get the DTE2 object as no instance of VS is running. For instance, an example like this:
dte2 = (DTE2)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.11.0");
won’t work as there’s no VS instance.
Given all this…and us not wanting to use the older CHM HelpProvider winforms approach, is there any way we can achieve what the package version is doing in a pure Winforms application?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
Based on your description, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss:
Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
To help you find more useful information or find the correct forum for this issue, would you mind letting us know more information about it?
It is the WinForm developing issue, am I right?
You said that you use the DTE 2 object, is it related to the VS extension?
>> However, the winform app version can’t get the DTE2 object as no instance of VS is running. For instance, an example like this:
dte2 = (DTE2)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.11.0");
won’t work as there’s no VS instance.
I did some research about it, the following case and document shared some information about the “Get References to the DTE and DTE2 Objects”, it seems that it also shares some information about “Get an instance of the currently running
Visual Studio IDE” like the code here:
// Get an instance of the currently running Visual Studio IDE.
EnvDTE80.DTE2 dte2;
dte2 = (EnvDTE80.DTE2)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.
GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.11.0");

If still no help, I might not have the correct detailed answer you need, but I might lead you into the right direction to solve your problem.
If it is the WinForm developing issue, you could select the correct forum here:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?forum=winformsdesigner%2Cwinforms%2Cwinformsdatacontrols&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc

Need Help in iPhoto '11 Help??

Hi, i have updated my iPhoto '11 to Version 9.2.1 (628). And had to lookup a topic in iPhoto '11 Help, and it says "To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet". Then I tested Browse Help topics, and the result I get are all the same. So I quit the application. And restarted iPhoto '11. When into iPhoto '11 Help and pick any topic to test. The same "To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet". But I am connected to the Internet. Can somebody assist me.

Hi & many thanks for the reply. I made sure that iPhoto is not running by looking ito Force Quit Applications window. I did 2nd time, as instructed. Just to inform you, i can see and have iCal Version 4.0.4 (1395.7) Help which connects to the internet when i invoke a help topic in iCal. I can see and have Aperture V3.2.1 Help open the Safari to connect to the Internet to show Help topics and solutions. I can access, read, and point at any Help Topics of every application i have installed and with internet connection. Maybe I maybe describing the problem as the computer says it.
When I invoke iPhoto '11 Help, I can see the iPhoto '11 Help. But once I click say "Lesson 1..." I get the message of the Help on the right pane of the Help pane...

Help Viewer no longer works!

Not sure when this started, but now when I choose the help menu (at least from Finder and iChat), it takes a while for the viewer to bring up the proper library and then the links in the window are dead. In addition, the search feature just results in the spinning cog.
Not life threatening, but annoying.

Drive Utility Help Viewer "does not know how to handle selected URL"

I have Drive Utility 10.5.6, according to . I'm trying to reformat a FAT32 partition on an external drive to Mac OS X Ext. Journaled in preparation for using SuperDuper to back up my Mac HD boot partition. For a time, which seems to have passed, now that erasing the partition has been done. The Disk Utility Help wouldn't work. Instead of putting up topic information, I got a message saying "Help Viewer does not know how to handle selected URL", followed by an reference to an html file that allegedly existed inside a set of folders inside the app. Where, of course, Finder cannot see. Once the erasing was done, Help seems to have come back. I tried Apple Support, but could only get a reference to OS 9 Appleworks macros not working in OS X. No help at all. Is this a question? I don't know. Help is working now. But for a while it was very annoying. It must be one of those little windows glitches that no one ever bothered to fix.

In order to change a FAT or NTFS formatted drive for use with OS X you will need to do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
If you have an Intel Mac and can partition the drive using GUID then you can have FAT32 and OS X partitions on the same drive.
As for problems with the Help viewer see:
In most cases doing the following will restore the Help Viewer:
1. Trash the following three files, if extant:
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
2. Trash the /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui folder.
3. Empty the Trash and Restart.
