Irrelevant pictures

How the heck does Spotlight work??? I did a search for “contact" and Spotlight came up with several images in the images category, none of which had the word contact anywhere in the filename (one was named 167672.jpg). What’s more, none of the folders in their folder heirarchy had the word “contact” in them, and the pictures had nothing to do with “contacts.” Is Spotlight screwy or what?

It seems that you should take a few minutes and do some reading. Apple does a great job supporting their software. Suggest you go to the Spotlight site (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/spotlight/) to start.
Then download a copy of the "Learn more about…" (http://images.apple.com/macosx/pdf/MacOSXSpotlightTB.pdf)
And when you have a question or two, use "HELP"
There is a lot more, but this should suffice. And it will do a lot for you when Leopard comes because without the Spotlight technology, you can forget about Time Machine.

IPhone 3g unlock screen language

Any ideas on the reason that when I restore my o2 officially unlocked iPhone 3g, the unlock screen comes up in Spanish?
Is there anything I can change to resolve this?
Thanks.

It's a support forum, the only images that would be relevant would generally be those connected with the iphone. However, you can in fact post any hosted image. Now whether our hosts would put up with a bunch of irrelevant pictures is quite another story. The OP could post his screen shot, as long as it's hosted somewhere. That type of picture would be relevant & perhaps helpful in solving his problem.

How to fix lost connections to original high-resolution pictures in iPhoto and how to import an iPhoto Book from one iPhoto library to another

Hi there,
I am using a MBP Pro with 8 GB cache and 1 TB HDD from beginning of 2011 with OS X Yosemite and iPhoto version 9.6 (910.29).
I created an iPhoto Book to print which contains my best pictures of 2013 and 2014. Then I got an error message when I wanted to print the book, saying (translated from German):
Book could not be created.
With photo p233432343.jpg there was an error. The original version of that photo with full resolution could not be found or is damaged. Please replace the photo or delete it from your book.
When I enquired further, I found out, that many, many pictures in my iPhoto library have that problem - only the thumbnail picture is found by iPhoto, but not the one with the high resolution. When looking at the photos in detail one sees that they are not sharp because obviously the photo book only refers to the thumbnail. When I went into the iPhoto Library using Finder, I saw that the original high res photos are still there. As there are an estimated 3000 photos with a lost connection (some still have, it but about 1/2 of my photos don´t), it does not make sense to import those photos manually. This photo book is just the tip of the iceberg, so to say.
Then I looked for solutions in some forums. I had two lPhoto libraries, one on my HDD (120GB) and one on an external HDD (175GB). Assuming there might be problems, I have deleted (moved) the one on my HDD, because the "right one" is the one on my external HDD and started iPHoto again using the alt key. But that did not work either.
I then tried to repair my iPhoto library using iPhoto Library Manager, and merged and rebuilt libraries. The library that came out was crap - all folders that had lost connections to the high resolution pictures now have zero photos in it. Also it is lacking the projects, including the photo book I created.
Then I went to find out if there is a way to import the iphoto book project from the old, corrupt library into the new, repaired library but could not find anything. It can only be exported as a file structure or website. As the file structure is missing the high res pictures, that does not even solve the "little" problem of the photobook.
I would REALLY appreciate your help on the two questions:
1- Can you advise what I need to to do to to get the connection to the high resolution photos established again ? As it is more than 3000 photos, I use an automated way of reestablishing that connection. Probably an answer to this question would make question 2 irrelevant.
2- Do you know if there is a way to export and import a book project created in iPhoto from one library to another ?

1 - Select the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder.
You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also. Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located. Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered. If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files. However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library.

Why firefox has slow response when i 'm saving pictures to hard disk?

I have windows 7 64 bit and Mozila firefox ver. 17.0.1. I have the following problem. When i try to save a picture from a site (right mouse click and save as) to the hard disk of my pc, the response of firefox is slow. It takes about 6 to 10 seconds. I thought it was a matter of file size but it proved that it was irrelevant, because it was happening to pictures from 10kb to 500kb. I did the following:
- clear history
- clear cache from firefox and the folder ''cache'' in my profile
- delete the files downloads.sqlite and localstore.rdf
- i changed the ''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone'' and ''services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone'' to false
- clear the downloads window
- disable all add-ons
After all these, the problem still remained
Then i started firefox in safe mode (help --> Restart with Add-ons Disabled...). The problem still remained.
Then i disabled Microsoft security essentials (real time protection) and windows firewall. I do not have any other anti-virus or firewall on my pc. Nothing happened.
Then i created a new profile (reset firefox). Nothing happened. So, one last attempt was left to do. Reboot with safe mode. So i followed the following steps.
i ran msconfig and disabled ''Microsoft Security Client'' from start up tab and ''Microsoft Antimalware Service'' from services tab. So i did a safe mode boot with network support and windows firewall, disabled. Guess what. Nothing happened.
I noticed that when i was trying to save pictures, during the process, there was a significant hard disk activity (the led indicator of hard disk activity was lighting constantly) and firefox on the left upper corner, shown the message ''not responding'' for about 6 to 10 seconds. You understand that saving a picture of 19kb in 10 seconds is not normal.
Is this problem has to do with the cache? The hard disk is an SSD (solid state drive). Do you think it would be better to redirect cache to memory? (i have 6GB total RAM). This problem was also happening to previous versions of firefox, but i think that with this version, the problem is more frequent. It is not happening with every picture, but it happens with more than 65% of the pictures.
It also happens when loading a web page, but it might be a matter of a heavy web page that uses many resources of my system, during loading. The problem is the same. Constant hard disk activity and it takes time to load the web page. The problem with web page loading, is not as frequent as with saving pictures.
I think it is a matter of cache management. What is your opinion?
Thank you.

The cause to my problem was the jump lists, that Windows 7 introduced. There are two kinds of jump lists, automatic and custom. Automatic jump lists were causing the slow down of firefox through window explorer. Finally it was a problem of windows explorer and not firefox. Windows 7 introduced many new features that cause slow system performance. Anyway the solution to the problem is to follow the steps:
1. Open mycomputer and on the address bar paste the path: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
2. Press ctrl + a
3. press shift + delete and delete everything inside the folder
I think that the respective jump list of windows explorer is the one that starts with 1b4dd67f29cb1962, in case you don't want to delete every jump list in the folder. If you use firefox, download a file and then go to the above mentioned path and view files by date. The most recent file should be the correspondent with firefox.

How can I divide a picture into 2 (or more) irregular shapes (i.e., free-hand cropping)?

(The answer to this question might apply to different versions &/or products, so my version -- Photoshop Elements 2 -- may be irrelevant.)
I need to "cut" a JPG photo into two (or more) irregular shapes, for a graphics project I need in my work.
I'd then want to save each shape as a separate JPG, for manipulating separately.
Can I do this with Photoshop Elements? If so, how and with which tool? The "cutting" should be free-form, so being limited to straight lines would not be a full solution.
I guess this is a kind of "cropping"--though maybe there's a better term, since this doesn't involve selecting a rectangular area within a picture.
Thanks.

Brad, It wasn't clear if you want to cut the picture into pieces jig-saw style so that the whole is the sum of its parts. If so here is one way using Elements 2 (maybe newer versions have ways of doing this more easily). In this example I cut the picture into 3 parts using the Lasso. 1. Select part 1. 2. Select > Save Selection: give the selection a name (e.g., part 1). 3. Copy/paste selection to new layer (Layer 1 in my example). 4. Activate Background layer. 5. Select > Reselect, and invert the selection. 7. Holding down <Alt>, use Lasso to delete all but part 2. 8. Select > Save Selection: give the selection a name (e.g., part 2). 9. Copy/paste selection to new layer (Layer 2 in example). 10. Activate Background layer. 11. Select > Reselect. 12. Select > Load Selection: In the Selection pull-down menu choose part 1 and check the "Add to Selection" box. The selection will now consist of parts 1 & 2. 13. Invert the selection to give part 3 and copy/paste to new layer (Layer 3 in example). The 3 pieces are in separate layers with transparent background. To save each piece turn off visibility of the other layers. http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1Q7SCAqb8IbQhcV6OdIWvj24WkzB5 Note that for just 2 parts it is much easier; you don't need the Save Selection steps: 1. Select part 1 and copy/paste to new layer. 2. Activate Background layer. 3. Select > Reselect, invert the selection, and copy/paste to new layer.

How to Recover a Dark Picture with a Heavy Color Cast

I just posted this article about how to recover a dark picture with a heavy
color cast using Lab Color mode in Photoshop. I hope it will be helpful to
others.

None taken. I am unfamiliar with ACR and would love to see (compare) what it
could do with the sample PNG file in the article, and how much time it took.
The results I achieved in the article took only a few minutes to
complete--though as I mention below, it took more than a few minutes to get
to the point where I could do it in a few minutes.
I happened across a web site one day discussing the techniques in Margulis'
LAB Color book, which interested me enough to purchase it. I found the book
very enlightening and have seen incredible results using the techniques he
describes as applied to my various images. I've also ready his Professional
Photoshop book which focuses more on CMYK, and found many techniques in
there just as enlightening.
Ultimately the tools and techniques used are irrelevant if you get the
results you want... but if you find one that works faster, easier or better,
then certainly you should employ it.
I have no problem working in RGB, CMYK or LAB and find benefits from each.
The particular sample image I used in the article was one that I've spent
(too much) time cleaning up in various ways and in various color spaces (or
combinations thereof). It became my "poster child" image to work on as I
continue to build my Photoshop skills. The approach I used in the article
was the one I found most to be the fasted with the most effective results.
The original was a 6MP JPG file. I reduced it to the size in the article and
then worked on that size for the remaineder of the article. The resutls are
equivelant in the fullsize file.

IWeb 1.1.2 blurry pictures in slideshow

I have a weird issue with my iWeb 1.1.2. I am trying to create a photo album using Photo template. All the images are high resolution and all of them work well, except one. It is an image of some people in the field (so there are green and blue colours dominating, if this may make a difference).
What is weird is that although picture appears blurry when clicking on its thumbnail, after clicking on this blurry image picture opens in high resolution and without any defects...
I have this problem with only one picture. Changing the order does not help. If I delete this picture then everything is fine with all other pictures.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

In iWeb 1.0.2 I make modifications in the .js files to delete the controller and autoplay and loop the music for both Macs and PCs and modifications in the slideshow.html files to prevent the slideshow from looping, remove the reflections, and change the timing of each image to 8 seconds. If I upgrade to iWeb v 2.0.2 will I be able to make these modifications? If so, I expect the changes will be different. Are directions available? Thank you.
First, the only thing you mention that is directly support by iweb2 is removal of reflection.
Now to the other stuff, you can not add sound clip to slideshow.html file directly in iweb2, since it's auto-generated by iweb so QT inspector is irrelevant. (someone here is sending you on a wild goose chase)
However, you still can add sound clip to slideshow.html with the same method as in iweb1.
However due to change in site structure and javascript... there is only one slideshow.html, therefore whatever sound clip your add to slideshow.html file; it IS the ONLY clip will play even when you have multiple photo slideshows.
You can modify javascript to control slideshow looping and timing.
As of directions, they are in my head...

Moving pictures in the iphoto library when move them in events

I don't like iPhoto keeps actual pictures in the old album even if I move them to another event (or album)
For example - you move pictures from 2007 Boston to 2009 London event or album in iPhoto app
BUT
iPhoto keeps them in the 2007 Boston folder and i don't need that I need that it moves them to the 2009 London folder as well as I move them in the app.
Do you see the point ?

So that’s what you mean.
This was changed with iPhoto 9, and no one outside of Apple knows why.
However, it does not mean chaos if you edit with another app. You should not be accessing them via the Finder in the first place (and this applies to every version of iPhoto, not just 09. Access the files managed by iPhoto via the Finder or another app is not supported).
If you use iPhoto with an external editor:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Then where the files lies in the Finder is irrelevant.

To enable the form to be signed in Reader you will need to open the form in Acrobat; goto Advanced>Enable Usage Rights and then save this copy of the form for sending out to the users.
The user should then be able to edit and digitally sign the form. They can then email the signed/saved pdf as a browsed for attachment or via the email icon in the toolbar. Note - if you have created an email submit button on the form, then unless they have Acrobat they could only return an xml file.
The other way to do this however is to create a dataset by 'distributing' the form. This time the Email Return button will send back a full version of the form. During the distribution setup you will have the option to email the form directly or to save it and send it later,so you can send to users as and when or even post it to a website or intranet.
When you receive and open the returned form it will ask whether you want to add it to the predetermined dataset (or if you want to categorise the returns into geographical areas for example, you could create new additional datasets at this point). If the form is data heavy however, the dataset will become very large and unwieldy pretty quickly, but you can export the data from it (including signatures) in xml format and import this into an Excel spreadsheet.
To simplify the Excel xml import process I'd recommend you carefully structure your form in the hierarchy (LiveCycle) into the order you would want the data items to appear in your spreadsheet and switch off those data items that you will not need by setting the default binding for the irrelevant fields to "None".
Clear as mud? Hope this helps.

How to set my contact's pictures

Hi all,
Is it possible to set the picture displayed for my contacts? Many of them don't have any (yes, I know, how rude...) or have irrelevant one that don't show who the person is.

You may rename your contacts, but you can not change their Profile picture.
Changing profile picture via your phone (and synch) does apparently not work either (just had to test it )

IMPORT ISSUE: LR 5 NOT SHOWING ANY PICTURES FROM ANY FOLDERS ON IMPORT

Hi there I am using LR5 on Macbook pro OSX vs 10.9.5. I am attempting to import photos from a folder on my hard drive. I cannot get LR5 to recognise any photographs in the folder. Indeed it will not recognise any photographs in any of my system folders or on my external drive. I have checked for XMP files as I heard they can be a conflict but there are none in my folders. I have attempted importing via different methods including drag and drop onto the LR icon but to no avail. This is confusing as all was working fine until recently. I am in desperate need to get this fixed as I am on a shoot tomorrow and need LR! Please can anyone help? Many thanks Steve Please see a screengrab below.

OK...very strange. I had the 'Destinations' tab collapsed. When I clicked to expand it the photos suddenly showed up!
I was attempting to 'Add' photos before (in which case the Destinations is irrelevant) In ''Copy'' or 'Move' the destinations seems to want to be expanded as a tab. Now when I go back into 'Add' the picture imports are working. Thanks for your help and I hope that this might help someone else.

My I photo is unexpectedly closing when trying to export pictures... what can I do...???

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Pictures from iphoto to itunes to iphone HELP!!!!

so i got the 3gS i have had it for a few weeks now and i love it. i realized that i can only sync within one computer, fine ill deal. i went to import my camera roll into iphoto then the pictures that i have imported via itunes and i have also them in mobile me have disappeared. i show them when i go to my wall paper to change that, but i cannot find them at all in the phone in the camera itself. ive been working on this for about 3hours, ive reset backed up reset again. i have a technical support background but i feel like a complete idiot that i cant get this to work!!! i am so frusterated. so the pics are loaded in iphoto in a album, also in mobile me, i show the folder in itunes when i go to sync nothing shows up, they show up in my wall paper to change but not to email.
anything will be appreciated..thx

Your post is hard to follow. MobileMe is pretty irrelevant here, by the way.
You have the pix in iPhoto, in an album (not just an Event?)
In iTunes, connect the phone to bring up the Syncing panel. Click on Photos. If you pick Selected Albums in iPhoto, you should be able to pick your album to sync.
Syncing should put the album on the phone, in Photos.
At what point does this process go wrong? What happens instead?
