Is there another way to open a different iPhoto library?

Is there another way to open a different iPhoto library besides using the option key and clicking on the iPhoto icon? It takes me upwards of a dozen times to get it to work, so I get that screen where I choose which library I want to open - the option key usually just doesn't respond. And since it takes several seconds for my main iPhoto library to shut down everytime it incorrectly opens up, it ends up taking me upwards of a few minutes, and a lot of frustration, by the time the option key suddenly decides to randomly work and I can choose the other library I want. This is iPhoto '09, version 10.6.8, by the way.
Thanks!

Of course I understand about double-clicking. but how can I double-click to choose the name of the iPhoto library I want when I cannot reliably get the menu option screen listing my two libraries to come up. As far as where the two libraries are actually stored on my computer, I haven't a clue - I just created the libraries on that iphoto library menu screen at some point in the past when I was setting it up. Is there some other place I could navigate to via Finder to select the library I want? I just don't think I need to spend $20 on software that I don't need - if I has lots of libraries, sure, but most of the time I use just the one library. But it's driving me crazy that when I do switch, I m having such difficulty.
Thanks :)

Is there any way to put a different itunes library

is there any way that i could put music on my itunes from a different library then it's originally synced to without deleting what is already on my ipod?
my computer just got a new hard drive, and all the music on my ipod is from my old library. i want to know if i can put the music that i have redownloaded and stuff onto my ipod and still keep all the old stuff on there. So, the first library no longer exists. And yeah, please help!

Yes there is. There is a program called Senuti (Itunes backwards...hah...) that enables you to transfer the music from your ipod to itunes. Google it and the program is easy to use. Hope this helps

Is there a way to copy photos to iphoto library AFTER they are imported?

Hi!
When I switch from PC to Mac I was reluctant to let iphoto manage my photos. After becoming a HUGE fan of the mac (iphone etc!) I decided I was ready to let go of that power I thought I needed! I read that I could check to have the photos copied to the library when they're imported, but now I'd like to do that for those already imported. I tried creating a new library and reimporting, but my keywords were from an older library I had for some reason. I must have written the keywords to the pictures back then, but not in my most recent library? Anyway, could I now convert to the way I should have imported in the 1st place?

You seem to have some problems with repeating keys - especially with the ‘?’ and ‘!’. You may need to get that looked at.
I downloaded the manager, held down Option and Command while launching iPhoto and then checked all.
Holding the Option and Command keys when launching iPhoto invokes +iPhoto’s own rebuild command+ so you haven’t actually used iPhoto Library Manager.
8. I did use a program called Name Mangler in the past to rename groups of pictures. iPhoto had been fine. This was before I replaced the shortcuts with the real files. I'm not sure if this was one of those I had renamed. Could a file be internally store differently than what we see in Finder?
If you renamed the files, then iPhoto lost track of them. Why? Because the alias in the Library lost the original file it pointed to - because you renamed it. The when you tried to use AliasHerder it couldn’t resolve the alias to replace it with the actual file.
I made a new library and tried the manual rebuild instructions I found online but ended up in same boat as when I imported all from scratch...wrong keywords!
I’m not sure what you did here but if you did a manual rebuild you would end up with +no keywords+.
Because of this issue with renaming the files I think you need to start over again with a new Library:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars, faces, places etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library. As you import +Make sure that you do not import any alias files+.
Then go back to where ever you stored the files before and find those re-named files and import those.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.

How can I open a different Iphoto Library in Iweb

I have 3 different IPhoto libraries on my Imac. Iweb opens one which I don't want to use. Does anybody know how I can change the library that Iweb uses? I allready tried opening Iweb from Iphoto. Deleting my Iweb-Plist and rebooting, but it did not solve my problem...

Open the Library with iPhoto. iWeb (and other apps) access the current Default Library - i.e the one that's open or the most recently opened one

The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window. I need this feature. Is there another way? You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.

Others have commented on this too. It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development. You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of progress.

Would crtl+f work or is there another way to search or quickly hyperlink to different sections on the page?

We have a very long extended data tab full of custom sections and we would like to be able to give a user a way to search the page quickly.
Would crtl+f work or is there another way to search or quickly hyperlink to different sections on the page?

I don't know enough about your use case to provide specific direction but you may be able to use the 6.1.1 UI extensibility point. For example, you could add an anchor link collection control that scrolls the page to the top of each section when selected.

Is there a way to open image with another phogram outside photoshop?

Hi
i have cs6 and bridge cs6 ,windows 7 64bit
is there a way to open images with another program then photoshop?
for example a script or other ways?
i'm talking about jpg,raw files for example
for example i would like to send 4 photos to ptgui or other programs
thanks

PTGui Pro should appear in your 'Open With' list bottom section, at least it shows on my system (Mac)
Be aware that PTGui can only handle jpeg, tiff and PNG and it only handles Raw files using the DCraw converter (Open source originally developed for Linux).
Only applications that support the particular file type you select appear in the Open With list.
And on a Mac I can drag and drop jpeg and tiff from Bridge to the project assistant.

Besides a PDF Portfolio is there another way to add Pages to a PDF that have fields of the same name and still have them Unique?

■ Use '''Tools -> Options -> Applications ->''' <br> then look under content for Adobe Acrobat forms etc;
<br> note a choice of options is usually available
* see [[Options window - Applications panel]]
Firefox is of course a web browser. <br>Acrobat reader is Adobe's program used to read and display the pfd files on your computer. Other programs may be used instead of Acrobat reader. You would normally have the Acrobat program and the pdf file present on the local computer, often both on the same hard drive, if you were opening individual pdf files directly with Acrobat.
Firefox uses a plugin so that it may use Acrobat to open pdf files and display the results within a firefox window or tab. If you do not have that plugin installed, or it is not enabled firefox may be unsure what to do with the file and offer to save it to whatever your default local download location is, without attempting to open the file in firefox.

Is there a way to open the mic using apple remote desktop

Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?
Also is there a way to use apple's software to control and watch a PC?

Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?
You would have to launch software that would accept audio from the microphone and transmit it to you in some fashion. ARD does not transmit audio itself. Another remote control solution such as Timbuktu might transmit audio, so you could look into that, perhaps.
Also is there a way to use apple's software to control and watch a PC?
You can install a VNC server on the PC and ARD can then take control of the system. It can be tricky to find a VNC system that will work with ARD, though, so search this forum for "VNC" for possible options. One of the applications that support Microsoft's remote desktop architecture such as their own Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac or iTap Mobile RDP will probably work better, though.

Is there a way to open multiple childs of Accordian at a same time

Hi,
Is there a way to open multiple childs of Accordain at a same time.
My requiremnets is something like this:--
Thanks for any help on this in Advance.
Regards
Munira

You can have multiple nodes open on a tree, so I guess you could open them all up on a button click.
Another option that might be possible is to use individual Accordians for each section and then use the click function to close the others.

Is there a way to open two albums at once?

I have two albums that I want to compare the pictures in, some but not all of the photos are the same, and I do not want identical albums. Is there any way to open a second album in another window, where I can have them side by side to compare.
Thanks in advance.

Another option is to make a smart album with the criteria: Album is XXXX and Album is YYYY. Rather awkward but would work.

Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.
Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?
Thanks!

What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.
