Is there a way to have iPhoto add location information to the original file

Is there a way to have iPhoto add manually assigned location information to the original file? After adding location information to about 20,000 of my 35,000 picture library, I generated a new library because of problems with faces. That fixed the faces problem but I was quite disappointed to see that the locations were absent. From what I can see, you can only do this by exporting the files (file - edit) and having the option checked to include the location information. Of course, if you select to have the original files exported (as opposed to creating 35,000 new jpegs), you do not have the option to include location information. Even if you did have that option, it would be a silly way to do it. Am I missing something?

No exporting is the only way - I believe that HoudahGeo - http://www.houdah.com/houdahGeo/ - will add them to the originals in iPhoto - check it out

Is there any way to edit something in Premiere Pro if the (original) file is Windows Moviemaker?

Hi!
I always work with Premiere Pro CS6. A friend just asked to do a final edit (and export) of her video.
But... she worked with Windows Moviemaker. Is there any way I can change or convert this file so that I can do the final edit in Premiere?

I doubt there's a conversion that will enable you to import/convert a native Moviemaker project file into PP.
You probably know this already, but the only way might be for your friend to export the timeline in a compatible format (AVI or MOV) and import to PP and pick up the edit from that point.
I don't know Moviemaker, but you may be able to export individual video/ audio layers (as AVI or MOV), and reassemble them in PP.
A PITB, but sometimes it's the only way.

I would essentially like to have a gold foil texture take the shape of a logo - almost like a cookie cutter or stamp.... is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks!

How do i get rid of duplicates in my photo library? I imported the photos again by mistake and dont want to do it manually. is there a way to have iphoto compare and delete all duplicates?

How do i delete duplicate photos in my iphoto library. i imported them (1500 pics) twice and don't want to manually go through them all. Is there a way to get iphoto to compare photos and delete the duplicates?

There are two apps, actually one app and one Applescript script, for finding and removing duplicate photos from iPhoto. They are:
Duplicate Annihilator
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates

Is there a way to have iTunes show what is in the iTunes music folder?

I have several folders that I moved from an old iTunes music folder into a newer one on a different HD. I just put the music into the folder, but not into iTunes. So now, I have a huge folder of music that doesn't show up in my iTunes library. I was cleaning off the HD to make room for something else, so I deleted the "old" iTunes folder with all the music in it. The music is in my new iTunes folder, but not in my iTunes program. Sorry this is so convoluted!
What I want to know is this: Is there a way to have iTunes recognize and check for music in the iTunes folder that is not already in the iTunes program? Exactly what does consolidate library do? Could that solve the issue? I am a little intimidated because it says that it cannot be undone.
Thanks,
Jim

Chris,
You're a GENIUS!! Thank you!! That's exactly what I was looking for. I am in the process of doing it right now. Hopefully, everything goes well. You just made my day!
Happy 2009,

Is there a way to have iPhoto find, and delete, my duplicates?

I thought there was a way to do this, but now I can't find it.
Thanks,
Paul

Paul:
There are a couple of applications that will cull out duplicates in an iPhoto Library: Duplicate Annihilator and iPhoto Diet.
I suggest you make a temporary backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder before running either of them just to have a fall back copy in case the results are not what you intended.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Is there a way to have notifications for messages/whatsapp in the lock screen without showing the identity of the sender?

Is there a way to show banners (in the lock screen) to notify of a new message withough showing the name of the sender, as for business purposes this can sometimes be confidential? Ie. I want it to just say for example 'whatsapp message', rather than 'whatsapp message from XX'.

Answer would be no unless application provided such feature. Numbers does not as far as I know.
Note that even if you have complete list of formulae used in a table, identifying formulae referencing any given cell is not simple.
E.g., cell T20 is referenced not only in
=T20+1
but also in
=SUM(T)
=SUM(20:20)
=SUM(S19:U22)
=OFFSET(S1,19,1,1,1)
=INDIRECT("T"&(10*2))
In order to identify such formula, we have to actually evaluate it to see if it references the given cell. Especially such formula as OFFSET() and INDIRECT() may not be found by static parser because their parameters can be dynamic.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

Is there a way to have an Ipod shuffle pause at the end of a playlist?

I have one playlist with one file in it and I want the ipod shuffle (4th gen.) to play that one file and then end. The ipod just keeps repeating the one file when I put it on either of the two switch settings. Anyone know how to get it to pause or shut off at the end of the song?

It's a simple player. That's the way it works.
If you can explain why (the situation when) you need your shuffle to play just one audio file, and then stop, maybe I (or someone else) can come up with a workaround to achieve what you need.

Is there a way to open a smart object, but get the original instead of a temp file?

Working with large amounts of images and PSD files.
1. We create a smart object from say, a .jpg file on a layer, then filter, etc.
2. Double clicking the smart object creates a new window with that object as a .psB file.
3. When the file is saved and closed, the .psB file is deleted.
This is how smart objects work, we know.
What we need to do is:
1. We create a smart object from say, a .jpg file on a layer, then filter, etc.
2. Double clicking the smart object will open the ORIGINAL .jpg file
3. When the file is saved, the original .jpg file is saved in its altered form, and is reflected in the .psd file
We realize that Smart objects were created for reasons, of which we are aware.
Yet, we have several designers who use the same .jpg's but want the original to be changed so that the next developer has that changed .jpg.
Trie thus far:
ScriptListener cannot be used to tie it to a double click event on a smart object, because when the smart object is created it is already a copy of the original.
Creating a variable to call the original does not 'appear' to work, because it is accessing the .psB file instead of the original .psD file.
I think with early versions of PS there was a way to insert an image like a .jpg into a layer, and the link to that .jpg was retained. Thus, when you double click on that layer, the original .jpg is brought up to be edited, the .jpg file is now altered, and is reflected in the .psd file after finishing.

No, not too late.
InDesign is for layout for press in this case.
Photoshop is for design, which is using the .jpg's.
I'm half way there, but stuck at:
Getting a file location reference when the .jpg is first brought into PS as a layer.
Getting a script to write the location of the file into the medata for the PSD in some field
Reading back the metadata file location for the .jpg and bringing it back into the PSD again.
Any help would really be appreciated.
I can make the completed script(s) available when its complete, as this has possibilities for other uses, batch process, and more.

Is there a way to have iPhoto NOT use the Photo Library on the Main drive?

I have thousands of pictures going waaay back to when iPhoto first came out. Most are on disc and on backup drives. I want to use the external drives to work from, within iPhoto. Is this possible?
I just got a Mac Mini and since i have a lot of external drives(over 6TB, I'm a pro photographer) I didn't need the larger main drive. I like to use iPhoto for snapshots of my family and friends and quickie uploads for them.
Thanks.

sure
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Is there a way to have an external monitor dim like the main screen on an iMac?

i have an apple 24 inch external monitor attached to a 27 inch imac. the main screen dims according to the energy saver settings but the external monitor stays bright. there seem to be no settings in the energy saver pane in system settings to control the dim function, any suggestions?

could you not just connect it with the vga adapter and then turn the brightness of your screen all the way down so there is no light? i had to do that for my ibook g4 when i cracked the lcd, but thankfully i have my macbook now.

Is there a way to have new windows/links open behind the current open window, running Mavericks?

I would like to have new windows that open from links, or when I "right-click, open new window", to open behind the window I am reading from, working from, browsing, etc. I often am doing research, and opening multiple supplemental links, but do not like having to click back to the page I am working from every time.
A separate choice when I right click, to "open in new window behind current window" would be great!

There is no add on that I know of that can do this, but there has been an implementation found for javascript via this link:
*[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17570412/prevent-document-losing-a-focus-when-new-tab-is-opened Stackoverflow: prevent document from losing a focus when a new tab is opened]
* There is also an about:config entry: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction] that is explained wht to do when clicking on a link in a webpage that requires a new window open, but it does not restrict the focus of the tab

Is there a way to have multiple log on's for the ipad using different icloud accounts?

I just recieved an ipad for Christmas but would like to allow my daughter to use it too. I would like to be able to keep my business caledars and things syncing to my macbook and don't want my daughter to share the same one. Can this be done?

No. The iPad is essentially a single user device. Anyone who has access to the device (and/or its passcode) basically has access to everything on it.
You cannot passcode protect specific apps.

HT1399 I've copied more than one CD into iTunes that had various artists; the result is the CD is not recognized as one item, but only as separate songs by multiple artists. Is there a way to combine those separate songs back into the original "album" in

My question is in the subject line. Don't know why I have to put info here? Isn't this seen as an answer?

From Song View, select all of the tracks, then hit Ctrl-I (Get Info). On the "Options" tab, change "Part of a compilation" to "Yes". Click "OK" to save.
For individual tracks, there is also a compilation checkbox at the bottom right of the Get Info "Info" tab.
