IPhoto used to be available for Screen Savers, no more?

I used to be able in Preferences>Screen Saver to point to my iPhoto library, now (and I don't know what changes I made that could have caused this) the iPhoto libraries are greyed out.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Terrence, that did the trick!
But running Disk Utility, I noted two unexpected things:
1. the left panel lists a disk-icon called HL-DT-ST-DVDRW GA 11N; when the pointer hovers over it, it gives this description: Empty internal optical device.
2. in the First Aid Tab: the button "Repair Disk" is greyed out (only Verify Disk Permissions, Verify Disk and Repair Disk Permissions are options.
Any ideas why this is so.
As always, many thanks for being so patient, but while OSX is infinitely better than what I had to suffer through in the Windows world, it still holds plenty of surprises.

  • Use Aperture for Screen Savers

    Not sure what happened.  I completely lost my choice of using my Aperture Library for Screen Savers.  I'm not even given the option anymore.  Is there anyone out there who knows why this might be?  Yesterday my screen saver was showing my photos from Aperture; today it shows National Geographic photos.

    I'm having the exact same issue.... but I'm not getting iphoto or Aperture options. I just upgraded to Mavericks 2 days prior and before I did the upgrade I was using a folder from my aperture library.
    Any advice... or is this something that takes time to load and I just have to give is some time... as in hours or days as my aperture library is large??
    Thanks

  • What is the use of 'is available for Everyone'

    anyone please tell me what is the use of 'is available for queries' in the BMM layer.
    Explain with example is appriciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi Viswa,
    For the 'text' property of UI Element, you can provide a fixed value or bind it to context attribute of type String.
    If you provide some fixed value for the text, you can set the width property accordingly.
    The 'wrapping' property makes more sense when you have binded the 'text' property to some context attribute & you do not know the length of the text beforehand (text value may be coming from backend).
    There you can provide value for 'width' property & set 'wrapping' = true, so that fixed text length is visible.
    I think another use case scenario can be if you wish to resize the application window, you can adjust the space taken by the label using width & wrapping properties (resizing window does not have an impact)
    Hope this clarifies your doubt.
    Kind Regards,

  • Are iMovie 10's songs and trailers made using their template available for commercial use?

    I am wondering if these are allowed for commercial use. If I have a trailer that was made with iMovie 10's trailer template and contains a song from the iMovie 10 program, can I use this commercially?

    I know I've heard some of those Jingles on promos companies play on PBS. I can't tell you the name of the one that comes up. Another time I've heard one on a pharmaceutical advert. But I cannot answer the legal question if you can use the canned jingles for commercial purposes. I don't know if the Apple End User License Agreement for iMovie covers commercial uses of the jingles.

  • Screen Saver - photos no longer available for screen saver

    I had screen saver set up to display my photos. I can't remember if the photo's were pulled from Aperture or from MobileMe. Now I get a message that there are no photos in the folder or no pictures associated with the subscription (MobileMe). This seems to have happened after the 10.5.6 upgrade the other day.
    Has anyone else lost their photos in screen saver with the 10.5.6 upgrade? How can I get these photos back?
    Thanks

  • URL to be used in high availability for Directory Server

    Hi All,
    I have an environment configured for high availability. I have two OVD and OID servers each in this environment, configured in high availability. What should be the value in the Server URL field of the Directory Server IT Resource in the OIM for this environment? In the normal environment, I had it as "ldap://ovdhost01:6501" and it was working fine. But since there are two servers here, I am not sure what URL to use in place of this. The entry for the two ovd hosts in the OHS is "idstore.com" which is configured on 6501 port. But I tried using the following URLs and none of them worked:
    1. idstore.com
    2. ldap://idstore.com
    3. ldap://idstore.com:6501
    4. ldap://ovdhost01:6501,ldap://ovdhost01:6501
    Can someone help me know the correct URL to be used in this case?
    Thanks,
    $id

    Not sure about OVD or OID but for SOA and OIM:
    SOA:
    XMLConfig -> XMLConfig.SOAConfig -> SOAConfig
    Rmiurl -> t3://soahost1:soaport1,soahost2:soaport2
    Soapurl -> Load balancer or web server url (without the /workflow context)
    OIM:
    XMLConfig -> XMLConfig.DiscoveryConfig -> Discovery
    OimFrontEndUrl -> Load balance or web server url (without the /oim context)
    And ofcourse on your LB or WebServer, you need to configure these:
    SOA: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/core.1111/e10106/ha_soa.htm#CHDDJEGD

  • How to use the mergemodules available for the new release for VS 2010

    Hi,
    The new CR has been released and also the merge modules.
    I can download the mergemodules and extract them to a folder.
    I have no documentation included and we are wondering which merge modules we need to make a setup for our webapplication.
    Any help in this will be much appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Maurice

    I'm not sure what the confusion is.
    When you download the CRforVS_mergemodules_13_0.zip file from:
    http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_mergemodules_13_0.zip
    You get CRRuntime_13_0.msm. This is the English runtime. If your app will support other languages at runtime, you add the appropriate language msm. E.g.; German, you'd add CRRuntime_13_0_de.msm. The language dlls are all included in the same folder as the CRRuntime_13_0.msm. One other msm is CRRuntime_13_0_maps.msm. This msm is only required if you are
    using the Map Info feature.

  • Using pacman to search for packages - libraries no more used / needed

    Is there a way to use pacmant to "clean out" the system, by searcing and deleting all packages and libraries no more needed nor used by anything?

    Are you looking for options different from these? http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=88987
    I don't think there's a completely automatic way. At least, not a way that I would trust.

  • Delete .mac applic from Screen Savers

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me the easiest way to delete .mac or any other file from the System Preferences/Screen Savers? I'm looking for a utility or short cut way that doesn't involve typing codes into the Terminal.

    There are three Screen Saver folders: /System/Library/Screen Savers/, /Library/Screen Savers/, and /Home/Library/Screen Savers/. Any third-party screen savers should be installed in one of the latter two folders. /Library/Screen Savers/ for screen savers that should be accessible to all users or /Home/Library/Screen Savers/ for screen savers only accessible by you. The screen savers in the /System/Library/Screen Savers/ folder is reserved for screen savers included in the OS X system installation.
    From what you've provided I cannot tell you why such a dialog would appear unless you have the MobileMe and RSS screen saver (or some other screen saver) selected at the time you open the Screen Saver preferences.

  • I currently have Iphoto v. 9.1.4.  There is an update v. 9.4.3 that I am unable to install.  I keep getting a message, "you have updates available for other accounts.  To update this application, sign into the account you used to purchase it."

    I have iPhoto v 9.1.4.  Update available is 9.4.3.  I keep getting this message:  "You have updates available for other accounts.  To update this application, sign into the account you used to purchase it".  I have done this and I keep getting the same message over and over again.  Please help me!

    Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
    1. Follow the instructions in this Apple Support article.
    2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
    3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
    4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
    5. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
    Then repeat step 4.
    6. Select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
    7. Launch iTunes and select
    Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
    from the menu bar.
    8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the Applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications. If you have backup copies of the apps on another volume, unmount it and try to update again.
    9. Contact Account and Billing Support.

  • HT204655 how do i choose a photos folder for my screen saver.  iPhoto used to be listed as a dropdown choice.  now only folder is listed.

    how do i choose a photos folder for my screen saver.  iPhoto used to be listed as a dropdown choice.  now only folder is listed.

    You cannot take a folder out of the Trash to your Desktop without erasing the one on the Desktop. You need to first change the name of the folder on the Desktop. Or you can open the folder that's in the Trash and drag the files onto the Desktop assuming there aren't too many of them.
    But if you have a duplicate on the Desktop why do you need to remove the one that's in the Trash?
    If you feel you must take the folder out of the Trash, then you need to rename the duplicate that's on your Desktop.
    If you wish to put the folder back where it was when you deleted it, then open the Trash window, select the folder, then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select "Put Back" from the context menu.

  • IPhoto faces and screen savers incorrect way round, but photos correct

    Hello,
    I recently got a MacBook pro, and am in the process of organising my iPhoto library.
    I seem to be having an issue where many of the faces are the incorrect way round in the faces view, but when I go to the file, it is correct.
    This also happens with Screen savers.
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    James Rosen

    iPhoto Version 9.5.1 (902.17)
    It was moved to the library by being imported from an NTFS external hard drive, which has now been reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled), the iPhoto library was originally located on the built in SSD drive, but is now located on an external hard drive, due to capacity limitations.
    I am seeing the incorrect face orientations when I view the faces in the faces view of iPhoto, when I go onto a person, some are incorrect orientation.
    But when I click on the files, they are correct.
    |
    They are also incorrect using photo screen savers.
    (These images are for demo purposes only, and the issue is not limited to the photos shown).

  • How do I use iPhoto vs. Pictures folder for organization and viewing?

    I have a high level question as to how to use, in general not specific functions, iPhoto on my new iMac.  I imported all of my PC files from an external drive into the appropriate Folders (Pictures, Documents, Music, Movies) successfully.    So my large collection of photos resides in many sub folders under Pictures (like ‘2012 Mom Visit’ or “Christmas 2008’).
    My question is should I be using iPhoto as my primary app for viewing and organizing my full inventory of pictures, along with obviously editing/creating? Or do I use the default Pictures folder, and dig through with Finder or some search mechanisms if I only want to look at a photo and save iPhoto for editing and creating tasks?  If iPhoto should be my primary photo browsing and organizing tool, and I hope so because I would like a tool to just organize/view/search all my photos rather than thumbing through the folder structure, how to I “import” or tell iPhoto where all my photos are (there are a lot under a lot of subfolders)?  Will iPhoto then keep duplicate copies of these or do all my photo files remain in the Folder structure?
    Bottom line: is iPhoto supposed to be my go-to place for all my photo browsing, viewing, searching as well as editing and creating?  Should every photo I add to this iMac somehow be linked or imported through iPhoto?
    I also have pictures in the cloud and on an iPad (since my PC died I dumped camera photos directly to the ipad) but I’ll deal with these after I understand the appropriate use for iPhoto.
    Thanks for any input.

    The important thing to remember is there is no "supposed to" or "best way". There's what works for you and you photos. This may be iPhoto or some other app.
    Couple of thoughts: iPhoto is not an editor. It's a Manager - like Contacts for your Addresses or iTunes for your Music, it offers powerful and easy to use tools that will help you manage and share your photos in the various ways you might need it. It will also enhance and crop and edit photos as well, but if you're not using it as a manager then forget about it for editing as it will be just too complex. There are loads of editors out there.
    If you use iPhoto then it's your "go-to" for anything to do with your Photos. Viewing, Organising, sharing, Uploading, Printing, whatever. All of these things can be done either with or via iPhoto. Put another way, you never access your files via the Finder.
    For more on this see this User tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
    There are two ways to set up your iPhoto Library. Managed and Referenced
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management. 
    As you are new to iPhoto I strongly urge you to run a Managed Library. There are many pitfalls with a Referenced one - see here for instance
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
    and for someone new to iPhoto and The Mac you can lose data very easily with a Referenced Library.
    However you store the files, importing is the same: easiest way: drag a folder of images to the iPhoto Window and iPhoto will import it and create an Event from it.
    If you have a managed library then it will copy the files into its own Library. You filing structure is then pointless. You can trash it - but don't do it immediately. iPhoto is a great app, but it's not necessarily for everyone. When you've lived with it for a few weeks and are sure it's for you, that's when you can trash your own filing structure.
    The problem with what you have now - files-in-folders-and-subfolders - is that it is limited. Searching is trcky as you don't have a whole lot of things to search on. I append the following to show you some of the options available in iPhoto.
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 44k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.
