Is it possible to create a google earth kml or kmz file with photos from aperture?

It is possible to obtain a plugin for Lightroom that will create a single google earth file that includes all geo tagged photos on a track viewable in google earth. Does anyone know if this is possible from within Aperture?

Frank,
Thanks for your quick post. My question involves the zipping up together a batch of geotagged photos along with the track, not necessarily the procedure for importing tracks; I am already familiar with that. I would like to do this from within Aperture. Since the first posting this morning I have downloaded Picasa for the Mac. I know I can do what I want with that software. Thanks again.
Rob

Google Earth 6.2 kmz files have no details in text box

updated to 6.2 and ios5 I have custom map kmz files that work in PC but when opening the icon in iPad.... the text box is empty. any help is appreciated
Thanks Christopher

It sounds like you are describing the same thing that this person is on Google Groups posted about -> New problem - Google Earth Pro maps uploaded into My Places no longer display in Google Earth on Ipad - Google Groups
I don't see a fix there, so you may have to wait for Google to update the app. You may want to leave feedback there too.
(EDIT: It looks like that post is old, but you'll probably have better luck fixing Google app problems there)

Is it possible to create the adhoc network and get it work with WLAN APIs (WlanConnect) instead of netsh commands...?

Hi All,
I am facing issues in creating adhoc network in Windows 8.1. After searching in internet, I found that adhoc works with
netsh commands.
1. I have tried neths commands and able to get it work on windows 8.1,
but I want to do it through the WLAN APIs ie. WlanConnect ,
2. I am able to initiate the adhoc network(on Windows 8.1) by using WlanConnect API and other device are also able to connect to the Windows8.1 initiated adhoc network but the DHCP is not working.
-> clients are not able to get the IP address.
Is it possible to create the adhoc network and get it work with WLAN APIs (WlanConnect) instead of netsh commands...?
Thanks
akhil

Hi,
Did you mean to write a program to implement that creating adhoc via UI? This should be development issue.
But this is Windows 8.1 client forum and there is no professional on develop.
To help you better, I suggest you submit a new case on MSDN forum to help to check your code as they will be more professional on your issue:
This is the MSDN forum link.

I transferred files and photos from MacBook to iMac via ethernet cable and using migration assistant. However every time I transferred, it created a separate user and it transferred all files and photos again and again. So now I have 3 users accounts ?

I transferred files and photos from MacBook to iMac via ethernet cable and using migration assistant. However every time I transferred, it created a separate user and it transferred all files and photos again and again. So now I have 3 users accounts with all files and photos saved 3 times on same iMac !! Any idea how to avoid this ?

Yes, you ran into a very understandable problem.
When you use Migration Assistant, it cannot over-write the account that you happen to be using at the time. Upon migrating accounts, it will tell you that it is going to create a new one, but that message is easy to miss.
If you have three identical accounts, log in to the account you want to keep, and delete the redundant ones in System Preferences > Users & Groups.
Now that you know, the easiest way to migrate accounts is to use Setup Assistant when you first get a new Mac. That eliminates any possibility for this to occur, but most people are so eager to use their new Mac that they elect to migrate later.
That's OK too, but in that case you would want to create a temporary account whose sole purpose is to run Migration Assistant so that you may migrate your old one with an identical name. Be sure to give the new account Administrator privileges. When that finishes you would log in to the newly migrated account, and delete the temporary account.

Import contact with photo from google

How Do I import contact with photos from google to iCloud?
I uses iPhone6 , 6+ , iPad Air all iOS8.1 and Mac Air Yosemite
I uses google contact with photo all but I need to export all contacts to iCloud but after I imported the photo not have any more. How should I do to import all contact with photo from google?

The thumbnailPhoto attribute is for an octet string, so I can see why that would not work as it should be essentially a byte array (or a binary blob holding the JPG/GIF), and that is what is expected when importing that attribute.

Is it possible to import and display/plot (Google Earth) KML files as overlays in Mac OS 10.9 Maps application?

Is it possible to import and display/plot (Google Earth) KVM files as overlays in Mac OS 10.9 Maps application?
Here is the particular application: (note I haven't gotten the code to compile yet -- seems to be several differently named environment variables in Mac unix than in Linux that are making the compile blow up -- but that's another issue) there is a freeware application that can do radio path loss prediction and plot path loss contours on a map. It has an option to output the data as KML files which can be imported into Google Earth, in order to display the path loss contours on Google Earth maps. I guess you could liken it to displaying overlays of GIS-like data in Google Earth. I would like to know if there is a mechanism to facilitate importing KML data files to overlay (preferably in a translucent fasion so that you could see the underlying map) onto Mac OS 10.9 Maps?

As I stated, "possibly."
While the commerce side of it has little to do with the KML files, per se, the API for the layer data should allow for any type of overlay.
Also, the patent was filed Dec 19, 2013. There was a related patent filed in 2012. Not sure what it is about.

Is it possible to create a secure empty trash shortcut in file menu?

I have second finger click enabled so that I can quickly move files to the trash bin from the contextual menu. This is fine and dandy, however, for files containing sensitive informaton, I'd like to have a "Secure File Delete" option available (file bypasses the trash bin and is wiped after selecting said option).
I've searched the threads and checked system prefs. Only options are to change "empty trash" to "secure empty trash". This wouldn't work as I have more files that are typically trashed and not wiped. It'd be nice to have it available as a convenience I suppose
I know theres an app in the app store that offers this functionality. It's $3-4.
So my question...is it possible to create such a contextual menu option on my own?
heres an example of what I'm ltalking about...

Create a new Service in Automator.
Set it to receive files an folders in the Finder.
Drag in an Ask for Confirmation action if you want it.
Drag in a Run Shell Script action from the Utilities section of the Library.
Set it to Pass Input as Arguments and Replace the code with:
srm -r "$@"
--That's ess-ar-em for Secure ReMove (just copy and paste)
Save it and it will show up in the Services menu when you right-click on an item in the Finder.
There are options you can add to it like -s for simple, -m for medium. The default (without options) is 35-pass Gutman.
You can see what options are available by opening Terminal and typeing
man srm
Hit space to scroll down. Q to quit the man page.
The Verbose and Interactive options won't work since you can respond.
Note that depending on the algorithm chosen, it may take some time for the file/folder to disappear from the Finder view.

Is it possible to create a customs declaration for the document which is cleraed from customs

Hi Experts,
I want to generate a custom declaration for the declaration which is cleared from customs.
Is there any function module for this requirement.
Please post your suggestions ASAP.
Thanks
Srinivas

hi Srinivas,
It’s not possible to create a new declaration for a declaration that is
already accepted by customs. There could be below 2 possible options
1. U need inbound cancellation messages in the respective activity sequence,
and then u can request customs by mail or phone to send the cancellation
message. Once the cancellation message is received document gets cancelled and
u can create new declaration
2. U need a new optional activity sequence that will have outbound
cancellation message. once u trigger the cancellation message, customs will
reply back with the cancellation confirmation message and u can create a new
declaration
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Santosh

Google Earth only shows black screen with yellow lines on Lion 10.7

Hi, I am having trouble with running the Google Earth plug in my browser. Everytime I switch to "earth" mode, all I see is a black screen and yellow lines. I was able to rectify the issue in Google Earth itself by turning off Atmosphere but I can't do that in my browser and I use a website that utilizes Google Earth within a browser, so I'd really like to figure this out. I'm running Lion 10.7 on a X1600 128 MB dedicated graphics card. Maybe the graphics card is not good enough? Although I would have thought it could handle Google Earth.... Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi thanks for all the concern and replies. I've tried all that.
I had just got it back from the shop last Friday. It was there for around two weeks. It was a faulty GPU (when you see garbled display that's consisten when booting it the GPU). I have a strong feeling it's related to the Lion install 10.7 or 10.7.1 and may be similar to reports of Mac laptops overheating. It's good the GPU is removable, it might have taken 3 week or a month if it had been the whole board.
It's a blessing in disguise though as with all or most cases because I also got to have the LCD replaced for excessive backlight bleeding (in my opinion), the dead pixel from the previous LCD isn't there anymore (though under the glass there're some smudges but nothing crucial). The backlight bleeding is still the same though in my opinion but at least it's new.
It's a great thing I bought Applecare. I didn't buy it for the iPhone because that's more durable (my iPhone 3G's 3 years old now and it's still solid. Although there are scratches and a crack at the back at the bottom, got sqeezed under the table I think when I sat). I think Applecare is a good recommend for things that get hot like desktop and laptop Macs(are the iOS considered Macs btw?) which are twice or thrice the price of iOS devices.

When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album? When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order. So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

Create xml file with values from context

Hi experts!
I am trying to implement a WD application that will have some input fields, the value of those input fields will be used to create an xml file with a certain format and then sent to a certain application.
Apart from this i want to read an xml file back from the application and then fill some other context nodes with values from the xml file.
Is there any standard used code to do this??
If not how can i do this???
Thanx in advance!!!
P.S. Points will be rewarded to all usefull answers.

Hi,
you need to create three util class for that:-
XMLHandler
XMLParser
XMLBuilder
for example in my XML two tag item will be there e.g. Title and Organizer,and from ur WebDynpro view you need to pass value for the XML tag.
And u need to call buildXML()function of builder class to generate XML, in that i have passed bean object to get the values of tags. you need to set the value in bean from the view ui context.

I need to create a .pdf of a CAD (Microstation) file with a bitmap embedded

every plot driver I have tried will not include the bitmaps (3 of them in the title block of the drawing) in the .pdf.
All of the other elements are created but not the bitmaps. I am using MicroStation V8 XM edition.
Thank you,

Hi Brian,
Acrobat DC for iOS itself is a PDF viewer that offers the basic functionality (viewing PDF documents, adding annotations, filling out forms, searching, printing, sharing documents, etc.) for free.
To create PDF documents or covert one file format to/from PDF, you would need the Adobe PDF Pack online subscription service.
Acrobat.com Help | Adobe PDF Pack FAQ
The following page lists the supported file types.
Using Adobe PDF Pack
Unfortunately, there is no direct way to convert an email (in Apple Mail) to PDF on iOS.
Here are some alternatives that I can think of.
Copy and paste the email content to a Word document and convert it to PDF with Adobe PDF Pack.
Take a screenshot of an email on your iPad/iPhone and convert the image to PDF with Adobe PF Pack or other free/paid scan iOS app.
Install the 30-day free trial version of Acrobat Pro DC (desktop app) on your desktop computer and print an email to PDF by choosing Adobe PDF as a printer.
Hope this helps.

Create a dir if there exists a file with the same name

Hi..
I want to create a directory with file.mkdir(). But I recognize a problem when there is allready a File with the same name.
Is there any solution to handle a dir and a file with the same name?
eg: Dir "C:\Windows" and File "C:\Windows"
wami

This explains it... use "java Test2 asdsfd" for example. While this example doesn't show it,
if you try to create a dir with another slash on it c:\blah\ , it still can't be done.
import java.io.*;
public class Test2
public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception
     if (args.length < 1){
     System.out.println("Test2 [name]");
     System.out.println("creating bogus file " +args[0]);
     FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(args[0]);
     fo.write(55);
     fo.write(55);
     fo.write(55);
     fo.close();
     File x = new File(args[0]);
     if (x.mkdir()) System.out.println("made dir " + args[0]);
     else System.out.println("failed to make dir " + args[0]);
     System.out.println("deleting file " + args[0]);
     x.delete();
     if (x.mkdir()) System.out.println("made dir " + args[0]);
     else System.out.println("failed to make dir " + args[0] + " again !");

I plan to use a company such as Zenfolio to allow automatic ordering and payment of prints also. I would also like the photos to be uploaded with a watermark attached. Is this best to apply in Aperture, or by the website, if that is possible?!

There are plug-ins to upload from Aperture to both Zenfolio and SmugMug. The latter is built-in to Aperture 3.5.
I personally use SmugMug and I watermark the photos after the fact. I do this because if people order prints, they want an un-watermarked print, and if I watermark the photo that I upload to the service itself, there's no way to remove it, other than uploading a new version. I'd assume Zenfolio can do the same but don't know first hand.

Is it possible to create a google earth kml or kmz file with photos from aperture?
