Is there any way to prevent Aperture from Auto Cropping an image?

Is there any way to prevent Aperture from auto cropping an image? I use the "Do Not Crop" aspect ratio often and Aperture constantly picks cropping aspects for me, which is driving me crazy. Can I set "Do Not Crop" as the ratio I want on a more permanent basis anyhow? Thanks for the help.
Chris

This is a current bug. Please report it via "Aperture→Send Aperture Feedback".
Just to clarify, the problem is not auto-cropping, the problem is the the crop tool aspect ratio is arbitrarily set (in my case, always to something close to the current crop aspect ratio). You can reset it (on a per-crop basis) to "Do not constrain".
It is very bothersome.
You might try trashing your prefs. Details on the Trouble-shooting page. I have had the bug return more than once.

I'm trying to add a playlist manually to my iPhone 4. It won't let me because it's trying to delete all of the music currently on my iPhone. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in order to start manually updating it?

Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

Is there any way to prevent fields from being overwritten when importing data via xdp-file?

In an pdf-form designed with LCD everytime the form gets merged with an xdp-datafile content of all fields get overwritten, regardless which data-binding (normal, global, none) is assigned to the fields and regardless if the fields are exluded in the xdp-datafile. Is this normal behavior and is there any way to prevent fields from being overwritten?

The xdp-file is first exported from Acrobat Professional 8 (export data as *.xdp) to get the complete structure. Then in the xdp-file some fields are removed manually and other fields are filled with data. When the modified xdp-file is opened again with Acrobat Professional 8 it grabs the original pdf-form and merges the manually filled fields into the form. With the merge all other fields in the form are overwritten, even if they are not defined in the xdp-file. And that is what I want to avoid. I want to merge the xdp-file into the form and keep the data in fields not defined in the xdp-file.

After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name.

After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name?

if you are not on ios 6, then all you can do is wait. if you have deleted the address from your contact list, then it will live on for a while in your 'recently used' addresses. as you use new addresses, those older ones fall down the list, and eventually fall off altogether (unless you use them again). Have patience, it will go away.
Or do the update....

I've been giving HD videos in MTS format and convert the for editing in FCE. Looks good in the program, but when I export the finished film, quality had been noticeable diminished. Is there any way to prevent FCE from lowering the output quality?

Hello -
I've been sent HD footage in MTS format and converted it to Mp4 for editing in FCE. It looks good in FCE but when I export the movie, the quality is noticably diminished. Is there any way I can prevent FCE from lowering the quality on export?
Thanks.

>I use Foxreal video converter for Mac to convert the MTS using the Apple intermediate codec setting and the problem is that I don't get image, just audio
My thought would be to NOT use Foxreal video converter.
Use MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.

Is there any way to prevent iTunes from making duplicates of all my tunes?

I've a repeating problem that iTunes duplicates my music files every time I open it. After it had made duplicates (and triplicates) of every tune, I blew away the library, went through my music folder and got rid of all the dupe files, and reimported it into iTunes. I haven't used iTunes since, but when I opened it today to start rebuilding my playlists, it is again making dupes of my files. When I open it, it says it is "Updating iTunes library...', and after it finishes there are more copies of files already there.
Any way to prevent this?

Yes the 2 main ways are with an ipod and external drive. Apple covers doing it with an ipod but you can follow the same steps, just skip afew http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173

Is there any way to stop websites from auto-playing their content (music/videos) when the page loads?

Certain websites have ads or content that plays music or videos and they are not always easily found to turn off. This also slows down my connection as it is constantly streaming or buffering and I have no way of stopping it. Is there any way that I can disable the websites from automatically playing their content?

Is there any other options for this?
I don't want to block the audio/video, and I do use ad-blocker... However, it's just really annoying when I "open link in new tab" for something I want to look at a little later. Especially if I open several at once, I get multiple tabs playing audio and/or video, and sometimes it takes a while to figure out which tab is doing what...
The issue is I don't want to "block" them -- I just don't want them to play until either the tab is "activated" by clicking on it, or better yet, to only play when I click on the audio/video link.
Thanks!

I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF file to my iPad, via a Hotmail email. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad in Mail already opended, as a picture on the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent it from auto open, so I can open with iBooks instead?

I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF files to my iPad, via a Hotmail account. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad Mail account already opened at the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent this auto-opening of the PDF. I've seen screen shots with the box, and PDF listed inside the box, but mine open automatically. I want to get them into iBooks...?

I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone there is no "open in" possible.
Somehow the mail app does destroy the file. What is going wrong?

Restoring a SQL Server 2005 DB to a SQL Server 2014 install, is there any way to prevent it from being upgraded

Does anyone know if there is a flag I can use to prevent a SQL Server 2005 database from being upgraded to SQL 2014 when it is restored to a 2014 instance?
Don't ask why, I just need to know if this is possible or if 2005/8 DB's are required to be upgraded if they are going to run on SQL 2012/2014 instances. The documentation seems to say this is so, I just want to verify that.

First: You cannot directly restore a 2005 database to
2014. MS supports migration over 3 SQL Server version steps; means you can restore 2005 to 2008/2008R2/2012, but not to 2014. You have to do a migration step between.
Olaf I was looking for this today, because I'm working with a new customer that have SQL 2005 and I have SQL 2014. And needed to restore a backup form the production server in my test server.
When I read what you write I think, oh no!! I have to install SQL 2012 in my server. But that it's not an option for me, and I say let me try to restore the DB first in 2014 and if not work install 2012.
You can restore a 2005 database to 2014 directly, and it works.
For reference the version number in the servers 2005 (9.0.4035 SP3) and 2014 (12.0.2000 RTM)
This is not related in any way to the original question that you answered (the file format will be upgraded to the new motor, that is sure).
I put this lines because in the future there will be some people searching about if possible to restore a 2005 DB to 2014, and like me will read your lines and think it's not possible and that can make a decision to buy 2012 and not 2014 to that new server they
will migrate.

HT1660 Whenever my computer does a hard shutdown I lose all of my playlists and have to reimport them, is there any way to prevent this from happening?

I had to hard reboot my computer again, which is a rare occurance and the previous time and this time I noticed that all of my music from CDs was missing and all of my playlists were gone. I can go back and reimport them, but that takes a long time because I have over 100 playlists because that is how I like my music organized. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening and is there a way to speed up the process by transferring them directly from my ipod touch? Thank you.

Hey there 79usma79!
I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:

Is there any way to prevent users from ship confirming on a particular date?

Hello All,
We have a requirement to prevent users from ship confirming on a particular date. This is due to they are performing Annual Physical Inventory.
Is it possible to restrict users performing shipping transactions on this particular date?
I have tried adding exception to the existing Calendar set at org level and there is no customer specific Calendar defined, however it is still allowing me to perform ship confirm.
Please let me know if you have any suggestion on this requirement.
Thanks

Hi,
Yes is Possible.
You can add An Exception in Your Shipping Calender.
So when Some one tries to ship an Order on that date Oracle will automatically select Next possible date.
Thanks

Is there any way to prevent songs from replaying in GB IOS

I'm having a problem with the IOS version of Garageband. When my song gets to the end, it automatically goes back to the beginning and replays the song. What do I need to do to prevent this from happening? I just want the song to end and stop play mode.

You can't disable Cycle Mode.
A workaround would be to extend the length of the song (max 320bars)..
Hope that helps

Is there any way to prevent Pr from seizing the foreground?

I'm on Mac OS, when I launch Pr, and go back to my email, Pr persists in taking control of my computer and making itself the foreground application, interrupting my work. It does this even before the Project is completely open; so this can happen two or three times before it's really ready.
This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING, and I can see little benefit to this behavior. OK, maybe it would be nice to know when Pr is ready for projects that take a really long time to load. But, it seems to me that seizing the foreground should be an option in the Preferences. Many many many more times than not, I don't want Pr interrupting me.
I have already submitted my Feature Request, but if anybody knows a hack to the app that will stop this, I'd be most grateful to know it.
Oh, and "You Know Who," I know before you even say it what you're going to suggest: "Don't run any apps along with Pr." Thats doesn't cut it. Because Pr also seizes the FG when I'm working in Ae or Ps, and the CS is designed to have multiple apps opened at once. Modern OSs are designed for multi-tasking. We need to have FTP client, email, browser, etc. open all the time to conduct business. And having two computers isn't in the cards for all users. But, preventing annoying and mostly useless functions are.

I anticipated there would be some unhelpful responses to this, especially from Windows users crowing about not having this problem.
Those of you advocating patience are the same people who get annoyed by other irritations in software, I have no doubt.
As you know, ten or twenty seconds (or whatever your typical launch time is) wasted 300 times a year adds up. Software is supposed to help us; not get in our way.
I'd appreciate it if you forum people with insane post counts could refrain from commenting on every post, especially with unhelpful information.
This is not a Mac thing; it's an Adobe on Mac thing. None of my non-Adobe apps do this. Just Pr and Ae. Ps, Ai and AME load in the BG and stay there.
If you know of a hack (besides switching to Windows), please advise.

My parents and I share itunes and their music keeps downlaoding onto my laptop and phone, is there any way to prevent this from happening?

My parents were too lazy and didnt know how to create their own itunes account. so I was wondering if either 1)there was a way to stop their music from geting on my laptop and phone,or 2) a way to transfer my perchases to a new itunes account. If anyone has any ideas besides burning everything to discs I'd love to hear it.

I use preview's annotate feature to take notes by making text boxes in a PDF file. When I open the notes up again to review, all the text boxes have been rotated 90 degrees. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

If I click the boxes twice they rotate back but this is very annoying and time consuming.

Just checking...still no fix for this? I upgraded to OSX 10.8.4 recently and started using Preview to annotate lecture notes, only to find text boxes rotated later on. Appears to be okay if I go back and click on all text boxes and save again.
Any new updates on this topic re: why this is occuring and how to permanently fix it?
