IPhoto splitting events into individual files with long numbers as names?

Okay so technical first. I am running Mavericks with iPhoto version 9.5.1 on both my MacBook and iMac. I have had minor problems/irritations with iphoto for awhile but recently upgraded to Mavericks and the problems increase. I mainly use iPhoto for organization, I like to do any editing in Photoshop. My problem is that it is splitting most of my events into individual files, so there's one photo in an event, but there will be several pics from that day. They are given names that are just numbers, like 20120219-153730. They have the same date, you an see it below the Title which is the numbers. I checked preferences, it is set to one event per day. I have no idea what is going on. There are still some folders though, so I don't know why it is still affecting some of them. And the Photostreams for the month are still there. I tried switching to Picasa but the way the Mac (or is it iPhoto?) organizes the files on the actual computer is a pain too. They've switched from all the files being in a folder named the date they were taken to a numbered folder within another folder, maybe even in another numbered folder. And there will be one pic in there even if I took 10 that day. That is where the number on the Events is coming from. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it. It is doing this on both of my computers.

Do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
Next continue with:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1.

HT1473 How do I get iTunes to download an entire album in one file versus splitting it into multiple files with the same Album Title?

I have added several CDs to my iTunes files, several Albums were added in the form of multiple files of the same Album title with random songs listed, but not the entire album in one file.
I have tried to reassemble the Album into one file, but could not find a way to do so.

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

Split records into two files based on lookup table

Hi,
I'm new to ODI and want to know on how I could split records into two files based on a value in one of the columns in the table.
Example:
Table:
my columns are
account name country
100 USA
200 USA
300 UK
200 AUS
So from the 4 records I maintain list of countries in a lookup file and split the records into 2 different files based on values in the file...
Say I have records AUS and UK in my lookup file...
So my ODI routine should send all records with country into file1 and rest to file2.
So from above records
File1:
300 UK
200 AUS
File2:
100 USA
200 USA
Can you help me how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Sam

1. where and how do i create filter to restrict countries? In source or target? Should I include some kind of filter operator in interface.
You need to have the Filter on the Source side so that we can filter records accordingly the capture the same in the File. To have a Filter . In the source data store click and drag the column outside the data store and you will have Cone shaped icon and now you can click and type the Filter.
Please look into this link for ODI Documentation -http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/data-integrator/documentation/index.html
Also look into this Getting started guide - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15985_01/doc.10136/getstart/GSETL.pdf . You can find information as how to create Filter in this guide.
2. If I have include multipe countries like (USA,CANADA,UK) to go to one file and rest to another file; Can I use some kind of lookup file...? Instead of modifying filter inside interface...Can i Update entries in the file?
there are two ways of handling your situation.
Solution 1.
1. Create Variable Country_Variable
2. Create a Filter in the Source datastore in the First Interface ( SOURCE.COLUMN = #Country_Variable)
3. Create a new Package Country File Unload
4. Call the Variable in Country_Variable in Set Mode and provide the Country (USA )
5. Next call the First Interface
6. Next call the Second Interface where the Filter condition will be ( SOURCE.COLUMN ! = #Country_Variable )
7. Now run the package .
Solution 2.
If you need a solution to handle through Filer.
1. Use this Method (http://odiexperts.com/how-to-refresh-odi-variables-from-file-%E2%80%93-part-1-%E2%80%93-just-one-value ) to call the File where you wish to create store the country name into the variable Country_Variable
2. Pretty much the same Create a Filter in the Source datastore in the First Interface ( SOURCE.COLUMN = #Country_Variable)
3.Create a new Package Country File Unload
4.Next call the Second Interface where the Filter condition will be ( SOURCE.COLUMN ! = #Country_Variable )
5. Now run the package .
Now through this way using File you can control the File.
Please try and let us know , if you need any other help.

ok. I hope someone can answer my question. I am new to photoshop. I need version cs4 in order to work with a designer and printer on some logo work. I've tried to download it but it just gives me individual files with no installer and nothing - including the adobe "instructions" seems to work. How can i get this software in a downloadable format? is it actually free - I'm assuming it is... Hope someone knows the answer to these questions...

The download itself is free and is valid for 30 days only. After that, the software ceases to work.
CS4 is pretty old, no longer sold and no longer supported by Adobe. It's also not compatible with many modern OSes.
Why do you have to work with such an obsolete version of Photoshop?
What kind of "designer" uses it?

Can't view files with long file names?

Hi, Im using Mac OSX 10.3.9 and I have a problem viewing files on a server that have long file names (i.e over about 20 characters) they do not show up on my mac but when viewed on a PC computer they are all there. Strange thing is though I have another mac on the same network running exactly the same operating system and version and files with long name can be viewed on that system ?? it is some simple preference does anybody know? Any help would be much appreciated. thank you.

Hi, I tried accessing a test file that I have made up with a long name through a browser and through FTP and cannot see it on either one. I can however see it on the other Mac that I have access to that is running the same OS and version etc... and also this file can been viewed on the PC's that are around me....

Splitting program into multiple files

Hi folks :)
I have a looong program. And I would like to split it into 4 files. What else do I have to do, then adding the packagename? Could I call variables from one file, that is declared in another? How? And how do i call methods in another file?

Presumably, you're using Strings and possibly even JTextPanes.
If so, you already have all the syntax you need.
Let's assume that your current class contains all the required functionality. You might want to break that up to make the code more maintainable. So, put all the gui code into GUI.java and then wrap up your data processing methods into a Processor.java file. Both of these should define publilc classes.
But now your GUI class presumably won't compile because you are trying to call methods that don't exist anymore (you've just moved them). So, in you GUI class add a Processor data member (called "dataProcessor"). Instantiate this in the GUI constructor. Now, where you were calling those methods before you need to use:
dataProcessor.someMethod(someString);You'll probably have to play around a little to make everything fit but the art of refactoring is one to be learned early.
I hope this gives you the idea you were looking for.

Renaming audio files with increasing numbers.

I don't know if this is a Logic or a MacOS question but since it has to do with music I post it here.
I received three Cds with audio files. Every CD starts from track number one. I want to import all that files into logic. It confuses me when I have three audio files with the same name in my audio window. I want to rename them so I can see to which CD they belong.
I could rename all the files manually. But is there a way to rename the files with increasing numbers all at once?
Can I do that with the file manager or automator??
Thanks for help,
Eddie

Hi
what i do is import the files in Logic.
In the arrange window select all the different regions (i only have done this when they're on the same track).
Select the text tool.
click on the first track you wanna rename - a blue box will appear.
type the preferred name with a 1 after it.
all the regions following that region will be renamed incrementally.
You can also do this with a single region that you have split in logic.
Or you can split a region in logic and to rename them as individual files i press ctrl-F and ask logic to save them as "xxxfile1" - or with out the "1" i can't remember - and it saves them all incrementally.
Hope this helps

Importing CD to Artist folder\Album folder\file with track number and name:

I have a problem then importing my cd’s to my harddisk using iTunes.
On my previous pc I got what I want, Artist folder, Album folder and file with track number and name:
e.g.
D:\My Music\B.B. King\Blues On The Bayou\01 Blues Boys Tune.mp3
D:\My Music\B.B. King\Blues On The Bayou\02 Bad Case Of Love.mp3
D:\My Music\B.B. King\Blues On The Bayou\03 I'll Survive.mp3
But now I get:
D:\My Music\Compilations\Blues On The Bayou\01 Blues Boys Tune.mp3
D:\My Music\ Compilations \02 Bad Case Of Love.mp3
D:\My Music\ Compilations \03 I'll Survive.mp3
In iTunes my settings are Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced: iTunes Music folder: D:\My Music and checkmark in both: “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” and “Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library”.
My version of iTunes is 8.0.1.11
Thanks in advance
Peter

It will depend on the album. Gracenote considers anthologies, a collection of tracks by the same artist taken from different albums, as a compilation. In iTunes the compliation setting should really only be applied to a collection of tracks by different artists.

Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

Okay, Even if i remove the scene numbers from Story and export the file to Final Draft 8. The format in incorrect. The "transitions" ex. CUT TO: are not in the correct allignment. Also there are numbers on each of the dialogues
Pretty much alot of the formatting is not the same. Spaces that break dialouge and action which are there in Story, are not converted over to Final Draft.
Please fix this as soon as possible.
thanks,

Zip.ZipInputStream cannot extract files with Chinese chars in name

Dear friends,
Peace b upon u!
I am trying to read a zip file (~3000 files)containing one
or more files with Chinese, Japanese or Korean names, the
getNextEntry method throws an IllegalArgumentException as below after extracting just ~300 files as below:-
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
        at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.getUTF8String(Unknown Source)
        at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.readLOC(Unknown Source)
        at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.getNextEntry(Unknown Source)
        at testZipFiles.getZipFiles(testZipFiles.java:65)
        at testZipFiles.main(testZipFiles.java:18) issue:java.util.zip.ZipInputStream cannot extract files with Chinese chars in name
Category java:classes_util_jarzip
Plz let me know 1 of the ways which I can solve this issue.
1)if someone has JAVA DCOMPILER plz send the SOURCE Code
for the ZipInputStream.class to me..I need to edit it using 1 of the solutions as provided below which I googled.
2)If there is an alternate or upgraded java.util.zip.ZipInputStream or any org.apache.tools.zip.* package which can read such files..If yes where I can download the same on net.
3)Any other easier solution, which can let me extract all files (by excluding Chinese files thru CATCH) without the extractor process to fail altogether.
On net I found that the only solution with this is:-
- edit the new ZipEntry, remove the static initializer that calls
the native methods initIDs().
this step seems a bit scary, but it's according to the
workaround
to bug #4244499 (the workaround of Olive64, THU JUN 05
01:55 P.M. 2003),
that handles a similar bug at the ZipOutputStream.
Now you have a ZipInputStream that supports multi-bytes
entry names.
to extract the zip file, using the fixed code that is offered
above,
create a function that gets an "encoding" string, a "destPath"
string
and a "sourceFile" (zipped) and does :
ZipInputStream zipinputstream = null;
ZipEntry zipentry;
zipinputstream = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream
(sourceFile),encoding);
zipentry = zipinputstream.getNextEntry();
while (zipentry != null) { //for each entry to be extracted
    String entryName = zipentry.getName();
    int n;
    FileOutputStream fileoutputstream = new FileOutputStream
( destPath + entryName );
    while ((n = zipinputstream.read(buf, 0, 1024)) > -1)
        fileoutputstream.write(buf, 0, n);
    fileoutputstream.close();
    zipinputstream.closeEntry();
    zipentry = zipinputstream.getNextEntry();
}//while
zipinputstream.close();

Hi friend,
We'd better to ask one question in each thread. If you have another issue, you can consider to open up a new thread in this forum.
Now for the first question, do you mean this picture? It throws access exception in archive2.
If so , because your extractPath is a path, not a directory.You should add +"xxx.zip". For more information, please refer to
ZipFile.Open
Method (String, ZipArchiveMode).
For the second question, you can use the following code to skip the error message.
while (true)
try
//do something;
catch (Exception ex)
{ continue; }
Good day!

Renaming files with alternate numbers

I'd like to rename a large number of files with alternate numbers. For example, files 1-10 would be renamed 1,3,5,7,9,11 etc, and 2-10 would be renamed 2,4,6,8,10,12 etc.
I'm not familiar with AppleScript but use Automator and cannot find a way to do it with actions - a script that I could run from within Automator would be wonderful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's certainly no Automator action that's going to do this directly - it's a pretty specific requirement.
Additionally, there are some specific caveats to consider. For example, you can't rename file '2' to '3' because there's already a file '3' in the directory.
There are two classic solutions to this: one is to work in reverse - rename file 10 -> 19, 9 -> 17, 8 -> 15, etc. so that file '3' is moved before you try to rename file 2
The other solution is to move the files to a new directory as you rename them which ensures that no naming conflicts exist.
Also, before anyone can show you an example, you need to be clearer on your file names. Are they really '1', '2', '3', etc., or are they "1.jpg", '2.txt', '3.png', etc. File name extensions are going to be a critical element in renaming these files correctly (e.g. you can't just rename file '2.jpg' to '3' and hope it'll work.

IPhoto is currently a shared file with another user on my Mac and I am the Admin and no longer want to share it. How do i undo this completely?

Iphoto is currently a shared file on my Mac and I no longer want to share it. How do I completely remove access to it if i am the Admin to the computer? Thanks in advance...

I found the answer on the Quicken Support site. Unbelievable!!!!
Article ID: GEN82981 Updated: 8/11/2011 |
Unable to Share a Data File Between Multiple Users on the Same System
Cause The Quicken Essentials data is a data package that contains multiple files. Each item in the package has permission set based on the current users profile. When the Package is moved to a shared folder, the permission in the data package are not changed, therefore cannot be accessed by another user.
You can change the permissions for each individual file within the data package to be accessed by other users. However, the first user who opens the file after the permissions have been changed, will take ownership of the data package, and it will no longer be accessible by the other party again.
SolutionThis issue is currently a product limitation and is expected to be resolved in a future version of Quicken Essentials for Mac.

Iphoto splitting photos into separate events

IPhoto used to have a selection to turn off autosplitting photos into events when importing. That option is gone. The best I can find not is to autosplit items into one event per week. Is there a way to do this (i.e. through the terminal) or is there a third-party option?
thanks!

After looking around on the discussions I guess you're right about it not being an option, but I can tell you that I routinely import photos from our camera spanning multiple days (weeks even) without iPhoto autosplitting them into separate events. The autosplitting just cropped up today, and whether the older behavior was due to a corrupted preferences file or some other glitch, I want it back. I appreciate your orgainizational advice, but I simply do not care to work that way - I much preferred the old iPhoto 'camera roll' analogy and hate when iPhoto second-guesses me about how to organize my photos. Is there a way to force iPhoto to stop autosplitting?
Thanks!
