Keyword Search showing too many photos

I have over 22,000 photos and over 300 keywords for them. Sadly I cannot search by keyword since the keyword list only shows the last 146 keywords on the screen (a known bug that, in my case, only shows keywords beginning with p-z) and there is no way to scroll to any keywords before it. I have therefor taken to entering the keywords manual in the "all" field, which worked fine in iPhoto 08, but reveals way too many photos in iPhoto 11. From what I can tell, if there is one photo with that keyword in any given event, it will show me every photo in that event. So, for example, if I want to see "Jane" and there is one photo of Jane in the Hawaii" event, it will show me every photo in the "Hawaii" event.
I have occassioanlly stumbled upon workarounds for this, I think entering a space after the keyword or something, but can't recall any concrete solution that seems to work now. Can anyone help me with this extremely frustrating problem? (And I know about Smart Albums. That won't solve this one.)

Did you ever solve this problem. I have it too and it's driving me crazy.

Robohelp 9: WebHelp search showing too many highlighted results

I set up the WebHelp Settings (Search) to Enable Highlighting in Search Results, Show Context in Search Results, and Hide Rank Column in Search Results. When I search for keywords, such as "e-mailing requestors", the results highlight every letter in the search phrase, including the "e" in "the. I did not enable the Substring Search. Please see the attached screenshot. Does anyone know what's wrong?
I have the latest update of RoboHelp 9 (9.0.0.228). This is happening in IE9 (9.0.8112.16421) and Firefox 3.6.20. (I can't even test the WebHelp locally in Google Chrome until I upload it to the Web server, since all of the panes are blank (version 13.0.782.112 m).

Peter,
You and Rick are both correct.
Here's the response from Nidhi at Adobe Support after I reported this as a bug:
"For searching words like 'e-mail' ,you need to specify it in double quotes ,and then only just the word 'e-mail' will be highlighted .
As in our search we have a set of break characters:- @ $ ^ ( ) ~ ? / { } [ ] + = ! * - %.
Whenever we encounter such break characters in the search query ,text is broken into keywords at these characters and indexed for searching ,and that is why in case of the word e-mail, the word 'e' and the word 'mail' are indexed separately .And when you search for the word e-mail without quotes ,it would search for all instances where it finds the word 'e' or the word 'mail' and highlight them .
Hence if you want the search to return and highlight only the word 'e-mail', you need to specify the word 'e-mail' in quotes like "e-mail" so that it honors it as a phrase and phrase search is done on it and the exact match is returned and highlighted."
Thanks very much for your help.

Some photos in iPhotos on MacBook Pro show "!" Do I have too many photos?

Some photos in iPhotos on MacBook Pro show "!" There are 7000 photos.
Do I have too many photos and have to delete some?

No.
Have a current backup.
Hold the option command keys and launch iPhoto to launch the First aid.
Start with repairing permissions first and proceed from there.
If you need to be more agressive, try the tried and true:

How many photos are too many photos for iPhoto? When do I need to upgrade to Aperture?

How many photos are too many photos for iPhoto? When do I need to updgrade to Aperture?

Hi Terrence, this is what happens, all too often when I click on something, sometimes it takes me 5 more clicks on the mouse while moving the cursor around to get rid of it. The one below popped up as I clicked on my junk mail.
The next one popped up when I was trying to get on to a site. This happens all the time. Don't know why it is happening. It happens on iPhoto, Aperture, everywhere I go, FaceBook...everywhere and at any time. So frustrating. I don't know if this is normal, but this was happening just before my last mac died a year ago.

There are way too many photos on my internal hard drive. I have older libraries, and newer libraires in iPhoto and Aperture 2. What is the best way to find and reduce the number of duplicate photos/libraries before upgrading to Aperture 3?

Sharon-
Good idea.
Back up first.
I would probably wait for the merge function of the latest version before merging. Be sure to verify every merge.
Merge Libraries, then from within Aperture move images to referenced on external hard drives.

Software update server showing too many updates

We are having an issue with our Software Update Server on 10.6.8. It has started showing too many updates to the clients. For example, it will show the iTunes 10.5.1 update as well as iTunes 10.5 update if the 10.5 update hasn't been applied. If iTunes is several versions behind, it will show all those updates too. I also see this on Security Updates and Raw Compatibility updates.
At first I thought this was due to turing on the ability to host Lion updates, but it isn't the case. I have since turned on SUS on a different machine and it still does this for updates.
Anyone have a fix for this?

Same issue with our 2008 XServe. At 3am to 8am this morning, Software Update Server went loony & downloaded over 18GB of old updates.
Naturally, after tracking down this was the culprit, I've gone in & temporarily disabled Copy all updates from Apple, and disabled Automatically enable copied updates. To preserve our miniscule amount of broadband download quota remaining - it had shrunk to 500MB for the coming fortnight.
So we'll have to data-diet.
No idea why 18GB of old updates were downloaded out of the blue by Software Update Server. I wonder if yesterday's release of Apple Software Installer Update 1.0 somehow adjusted the back end of update management.

Cant' search for keywords - there are too many of them

It's probably a known bug/issue, but when you have to many keywords, you can't search for all of them.
This grey box pops up with all your keywords, which are ordered alphabetically. Unfortunately I'm not able see my keywords from A to L, because there are too many.
Here is an image to further illustrate what I mean.

Thanks, what a bummer . I was hoping for a fix or a freeware solution :P.
Is there a way to notify Apple about this? Keywords seem poorly designed, or at least not thought through, compared to other programs.

Too many photos in catalog ??

Greetings Everyone,
I've been using LR3 since Beta 1.(no previous LR experience). I transferred about 11000 photos from PSE 3 to LR3. Did lots of processing, keywording etc and whittled the total to about 8300. I really liked the process and enjoyed the new access I had to my photos. Next step was to hook up my archives of about 50,000 photos backed up on an external HD. Initailly all went well, but after about 10 sessions of deleting duplicates and adding keywords, the program got stuck on a selection of about 20 photos and attempts to move away resulted in a microsoft window stating that there was a problem and LR3 had to shut down. I couldn't get past this, so I called Adobe Help. The tech wasn't very helpful. She said the max number of phots in a catalog was 10,000. I had exceeded this and overloaded the system. She helped me create a new catalog containing my original 8300 and told me to generate new cats for the remaining 50K, 10k per cat. The new cat with my 8300 did not have the keywording that I spent many hours creating.
I was able to go thru my back ups and retreive a backup made before adding the archived 50k that did contain my 8300 plus keyworded phots. Now what I'd like to do clean up my list of catalogs. Can I do this without destroying LR3 ability to access my 8300?
How do I breakup my 50k archives into 10K chunks? And do I really have to do this, I thought I read that LR3 could handle 1M photos.
I really do like the program, but the lack of even a guide book is irksome. I have alot of trouble getting the info I want off the net. I am the book reader type. Love to thumb thru the pages and index and make marks all over the pages I want to use for a project. Anyone found a book tha't's wriiten as intuitively as the program works. I generally don't care for Kelby's style.
I know this is quite a bit for any question, never mind a first one, but any and all help is appreciated. Thank you all who have the time to respond, Hanic

This is a total piece of misinformation provided by Adobe Tech Support. There are many people with catalogs over 10,000 images. In fact, there are people with catalogs over 500,000 images working properly. Please read this thread. Please optimize your catalog regularly to improve the speed.
How do I breakup my 50k archives into 10K chunks?
Simple. Don't do it at all

There are many books, and I agree, I don't like Kelby either. My preference is for Martin Evening's book.

Iphoto does not load into iDVD- too many photos?

Recently upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6 and iLife '09. Ever since, iPhoto will not load into iDVD (iphoto 8.0 and iDVD 7.0.3). When trying to open current and new projects in iDVD, the project opens, and plays, but the photos from iPhoto never load, the loading icon just spins on and on. When I open a new document, the same thing happens. Tried trashing preferences in both programs, reinstalling iLife, and reparing permissions. All software updates are current. Still won't work.
I am starting to wonder if it has to do with the number of photos I have in iPhoto, which is about 4000. The photos loaded with no problem until I upgraded. Could it be that the upgrades in iPhoto just make the files too large, and it's too much to expect that many photos to load? Does anyone know how many photos is too many,— or can you suggest anything I have not tired that might work?

This is from Mac Help. It is a good idea to create another account to use in troubleshooting situations such as this. After you create the new account, open iDVD from that account. Try creating a small project to see if you are having the same problems. Post back with your results.

ICal Server: logs showing "Too many matching components" errors

Setup:
     MacMini3,1 (Core2Duo) running OS X 10.6.8 Server
Services Enabled:
     AFP
     iCal
     NetBoot
     Open Directory
     Push Notifications
     SMB
     Web
iCal Server:
     About 100 users in OpenDirectory, but the only thing OD is used for is to provide iCal accounts. Our iCal clients are split evenly among native iCal client users, Thunderbird/Lightning users, and those who access via http. One thing that may be worth mentioning is the way we use this calendar: Management has decided that they want one calendar user who gets invited to nearly every **** event that anyone schedules, an "overview" so that everyone can add this user as a read-only delegate, and then they can see what everyone at the company is up to at a glance. So this has created one gigantic iCal account with perhaps 15 events per-day every-day for the last 3 years - and all 100 users have read access to these events.
The Problem: error.log is full of messages like this:

I am unable to understand this behaviour. The number of users still remain the same and the usage is as usual.
Is there a way I can check what has gone wrong? I could not see any errors also in the alert.log
Please suggest what can be done.
Thanks
Rajeshredo generation is the result of the activity on the system. You've therefore either started doing much more work - which the business users might well be able to let you know about - or you've started doing you existing workload extremely inefficently, which your business users will probably have noticed. I would start in this case, not with logminer, but with the business and the application - ebusiness suite for example keeps pretty good logs of what activity has happened on the system. Id also be interested in what was changed 3 weeks ago, because something was!

Can too many Photos slow down a Mac Pro?

Hi, I have atleast 100,000 photos on my pc, would this many photos slow down a 2.66GHz quad core mac pro with 6 gigs of memory? thanks

I have 60,000. I use non-boot drive of course for data. Some people have huge music and video libraries of 2TB spanning 2-3 drives on stripped RAIDs.
Mac Pro and OS X really likes RAM, and the base for DDR3 8-core is to have 6 DIMMs and I'd go with 6 x 2GB, either Apple or 3rd party RAM, then add 3 x 640GB drives (WD Black Caviar). Stripe two, even if you partition it as 400GB each. http://www.barefeats.com/nehal04.html
And keep the boot drive to OS and applications primarily.

Iphone 6 too many photos

i only have 500 photos in my camera roll but when I connect my iPhone 6 to iTunes it says that i have over 3000 items for the photo category.
i originally had around 2000 when I first noticed the issue but since then I have deleted many photos and videos and the results have still not changed

Hello Ben,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iTunes is indicating that you have more pictures than you really do. You can use the steps under "If your device gets stuck during startup" in the following article. It doesn't mention the issue you are describing, but other users reporting the same thing have reported success using these steps.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

AppStore Show "too many HTTP redirects" .. HELP

Im from Malysia,
when i try to view apps in my iphone 5 apps store, it gives the ''too many HTTP redirects" message, what is the problem? someone enlighten me please.

Hi Markc Anthony. I was using iOS 5.1.1 before this and decided to upgrade. I did a full Update to iOS 6.1 through iTunes. I used one of my iCloud backups to bring back all my apps and Data. Since then I've been getting a message saying "Too Many HTTP Redirects" on the App Store.
I troubleshooted the steps by doing each of these steps:
I tried different Sections of the App Store and all gave me the same message "Too Many HTTP Redirects"
I went ahead and Check iTunes App and it looks like it has no issues.
I went to Settings\iTunes & App Stores and clicked on my Apple ID and signed out. I made sure every other switch was off. Then I went back to the App Store and still got the same message.
I went ahead and turned off the iPhone by holding the button at the top right corner and when prompted I slided the "slide to turn off" button. I waited about 5 seconds and then got to hold the top right button again until the Apple Logo flashed again. I still got the same message when I went to the App Store.
I went back to Settings\iTunes & App Store and signed back in. The App Store would still give me the same error message.
I finally gave up and did a full reset using iTunes again. I plugged in my iPhone clicked on its icon on iTunes and choose the button "Restore iPhone". I did not recovered from a backup this time and instead set it up as new. That actually worked. I am back to using my iPhone with no issues.
You all can try recovering from backup it might actually work, but I am having a feeling that the error may have to do with recovering from a backup using iCloud. You can try it again, but make sure you let it finish and do not stop it (There is a way to stop it).
