Library HELP! Exporting and Importing and how dated folders work.

Where do I go to get help on a huge library like this and how to make sense of it all? Is there a book or a program or a site?
Please help and thanks so much in advance!
I'm very frustrated. I have an old G4 10.3.9 with iphoto 5 or 6 I forget which, I'm trying to get all my photos onto my new iMac 24 10.5 iphoto 08.
I have three different users libraries to import. The iphoto library under my name got corrupted somehow so I looked up on here on what to do. So I created a new library and added a _1 after it and my library was back although my dates did not see to be right and everything was grouped weird. huge groups of photos are grouped in filed that are named as dates that the photos were not taken in or imported in or anything. 1993 is one of them. I did not even have a computer then! But what's weird is the date on the photo file itself is correct, I mean as far as when the photo was actually taken. So there may be some hope.
So I still have the old and new library for fear that I did not recover all the photos. There are about 5500 photos.
I did an export of the whole library and imported all 5500 photos into my imac and iphoto 08
I don't know what the proper way to do that is but that is how I did it.
I also am going to save the entire library both new and old and go through it all one day when I have the time. I did not want to put the old library folder in the new imac for fear that is would corrupt it. I wanted to start fresh.
It's going kind of OK except that I have many duplicates with a _1 in addition to the name. Also, the dates are just crazy! It does not make any sense! I am having a date problem with my old G4. It does not remember a date if you shut it off. I put a new battery in and reset the pram but still forgets the date. I think this may be related.
I know I'm kind of rambling but i have been working on this for hours and I'm so exhausted. I can't find my external hard drive and I know it would be so easy to just back it all up on there and figure this one later. I guess I will just cram it all onto a bunch of DVD's until I find it.
Where do I go to get help on a huge library like this and how to make sense of it all? Is there a book or a program or a site?
Please help and thanks so much in advance!

Here's where you come for help, but I don't know, after reading your post, what the problem actually is. So, you think you can post this into a series of questions?

SchemaBindings and import and include

Have inherited a set of XSD files, various imports and includes, that trigger object factory collisions. I believe I understand that SchemaBindings are necessary, to compel the names generated by the object factory to not collide. But I cannot find a single example of an XSD that demonstrates SchemaBindings and import and/or include.
The error I see is "elements of type 'import' cannot appear after declarations as children of a <schema> element".
Ditto for "include".
Please, please, I need an example, not an explanation or article.
Thanks.

As Curt stated, the keywords are written to the file itself and will not be cleared using the clear and import function in Keywords.
Using the clear and import option is useful if you want to get rid of the default keywords or have a better new list for import at hand. If you already have assigned some of these old keywords to files and they are not present in your current list then they will show as italic in the keyword panel (usually at the bottom under "Other keywords") once a file with this old keyword is selected in Bridge.
When a keyword is in italic then you have the option to make it again persistent in your new list using right mouse click menu or leave it as it is. Using the find option in the menu should provide you with the result of all present keywords in the files you are searching in, regardless if they are in the list or not.

Opening iPhoto photos in library that were not imported and then unreadable

Hello all:
When opening iphoto08 (7.1.5) I'm getting a message:
1742 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported. Would you like to import them.
Clicked yes: Unreadable files 999. The following files could not be imported...they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data.
Then" have been placed in a folder named iPhoto Library Recovered Photos
TIA for any help!

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

HT3847 Where did our files go, all of our history and imported and urchased files, when the 11.02 upgrade came in? Why is our library now empty?

We imported our itunes from an older imac. After the newest itunes upgrade,, all of our old files are gone. They are not showing in the libary.

OB:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Does you backup copy of your V4 library contain all of your photos? That is have you added any to the new library that's giving you trouble? If not then try the following:
1 - copy your backup library folder to your HD and name it something like "Primary Library" and put it in your Pictures folder.
2 - download and run BatChmod on the Primary Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
3 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select the Find library option.
4 - navigate to the Pictures folder and select the Primary Library folder.
Then you'll go thru the upgrade process again. See if that won't get you thru it OK.
If albums are lost the pictures will still be in the main library.

Subtitles, extracting from old, and importing and adding another to a new dvd

I need to add spanish subtitles, in addition to the already existing English subtitles, to a redited timeline. The English subtitles are made in DVD Studio Pro. I have read the DVD Studio Por manual. I DO NOT find the answers I need in there. I have done the Apple DVD SP Training Series. That does not even come remotely close to answering these questions. I tried extracting them with DVDSP Subpick, it says Wrong Code. I tried Subtitle Xtractor and it does not open item in item description, reporting only "Error while loading file: Error in Line 1 Error in NODe". Though it says one can open just the subtitle stream, I dont see any directions to tell one how to open just the subtitle stream either. I tried Text Up 2-1 and it says "file error wrong type" .
I cannot fins assets timecode as it says to do iin the manual. I foloow the directions, right click on the timeline but it does not show me any shortcut menu with assets code on it. I cannot find any directions as to how to save teh subtitles to STL, or txt for that matter. I cannot tell how I have saved this DVDSP subtitle stream, and I have already burned the dvd. I need to add spanish subtitles and I would love to not have to start over from scratch, but so far, it looks like I will have to do that. I am pressed for time. Any help from anyone?

There is no method of exporting a subtitle stream to a STL file from a DVD Studio Pro project file.
You can export the stream as a DVD Studio Pro asset and import it into another project; however, you would have to manually replace the English with corresponding Spanish. Furthermore, you are likely to find that the Spanish subtitles do not correspond card for card with the English due to inherent differences in the languages.
Ideally, you would have acces to the English STL document or, better yet, a translation spreadsheet (if one existed in the first place) that you could reformat for import into DVDSP.

IMessage and SMS fallback - how does it work?

Hi community,
I am really struggling to understand how iMessage works when the receiver use iMessage normally but does not have a data connection for whatever reason (but does have normal GSM cellphone signal). People are saying that iMessage is intelligent and will fall-back on SMS if the recipient is not contactable on iMessage - but this seemingly DOES NOT HAPPEN. It only automatially falls-back on SMS if the sender (ie. me) does not have data coverage - which is useless, I know when I dont have data - I can work that one out for myself thank-you-very-much Apple.
My friends on limited data plans will often turn their mobile-data off (from the settings menu) to save on $ charges and on battery life. I of course, never know exactly when they have done this. So at various times when they have data enabled iMessage will discover the link between their apple ID and phone number and automatically start using iMessage - which is great. However if on a subsequent day they turn their data off, I will try to message them and they will never receive it but I will get no clear indication on my end that this has failed. It might be 2 or 3 days until they turn their data back on, or stumble into a free hotspot until they get my message.
The same happened when I went abroad but in reverse - I turned my data off, yet my family's phones were still trying to send me iMessage messages, I didn't get them for several days until I connected my iPad to a hotel's WiFi.
So the only way I can be sure messages get through to my friends and family and that my friends and family can get through to me in a timely manner is for us ALL to disable iMessage completely. Making iMessage pointless.
Please prove me wrong, but I cannot get it to function in any other way.

I remember having sent an iMessage to one of my friends and I was wondering why it firstly was sent as an iMessage and then obviously got sent another time, this time the bubble turned green so I knew it was an SMS. Later I asked him why this might probably have happened and he told me he was doing a phone call and fell back to GSM, and he wasn't connected to WiFi.
So my impression is that iMessage indeed also screens whether the recipient has internet connection or not. If he doesn't, the iPhone will send an SMS.

Major change to how smart folders work?

I'm an ex-PC user and one way I configured the finder to work more like how I was used to working was to color code all my folders red and the half-dozen files I work with on a daily basis green. I had smart folders for both in the Tiger sidebar and they were there all the time. In Leopard they are only there in a finder window and are in the search for area. When I am in a program and want to open a file, that search for section is no longer in the sidebar, so I have to drill down through all folders and sub-folders to find the file I want. Am I going to be limited to launching files directly from the smart folder to easily find the files I need and not open from within the application?
RR

By default when you make a Smart Folder and save it you get it saved into this folder:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Saved Searches"
If you open that folder you should see your Smart Folders. Drag them into the "Places" section of the Sidebar in your open Finder window. They will now show up in the Open dialog window of your application. Of course, you will have them listed twice in the normal Finder window: once in places, so you can see them in the Open window, and once in Search For. Jeez, don't the programmers ever have to talk to each other? Anyway, the sensible thing to do is to have other sorts of things, that you don't need access to from an application, in the Search For section--or just close that section up. This is definitely another "what were they thinking" moment.

How do I transfere a playlist from my iPod to my computer, which I made on my computer from all my songs. I've tried export and import, but they are not working.

I accidently created a playlist sitting at my computer but saved to my iPod. I would like the playlist on my Itunes library so my husband can put the play list on his ipod which is also synced to my/our computer.
I tried to export the playlist then import. It seems like it imported, but i don't see it. How do I find it? on the videos I watched the playlist just shows up in the iTunes library playlist column.
It did not. What do I do next?
Thanks

Transfer files between your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad and your computer
Connect your device to your computer.
Click the device button, then click Apps.
Below File Sharing (you might need to scroll down to see it), in the list on the left, select the app on your device that you want to transfer a file to or from.
Do one of the following:
Transfer a file from your computer to your device: Click Add, select the file you want to transfer, and click Open.
Transfer a file from your device to your computer: Select the file you want to transfer in the list on the right, click “Save to,” select where you want to save the file, and click Open.
The file is transferred to your device or saved in the location you specified on your computer.
On your device, the file can be opened in the app you selected in step 3.
Hope this helps

Need Help with FCP7 import and plug in question.

Hello,
I just registered and would like to ask two questions. Everything else I'll use the search function for but I need the answer right away.
Ok First question. I have a mac pro at home and a intel macbook both with FCS4 during the holiday season I'd like to work on a project on my laptop. Now I have all my files on a 2.0 USB drive(I know its not that fast for video) but this is only temp. while traveling. I'm trying to figure out why it wont import the files into another project. Even when I'm at my home Mac Pro when I try to import a projects footage into another project it doesn't read it. This comes up
"File Error: 0 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied 254 unknown"
But all the files will work in the project that it was originally captured too.
If this helps the codec is sonys HDV 1080 60i converted to Apple ProRes 422(HQ) which I found out I should only use the regular Apple ProRes 422. I'm stuck now b/c I cannot import the files into a new project to work in on my laptop. Plus my Macbook doesn't have Firewire800 so I have no way to get the footage from tape to my laptop other then my USB Hard Drive.
I also have problem importing the files in Motion and Cinema Tools they also are not recognizing the files which is getting me upset since they are FCP7 generated files after I convert them to ProRes.
Whenever I try to import/use the files in anything other the original project they are grey'ed out.
I'm also confused on how to import effects plug-ins I've downloaded effects from apple only to have now directions to import them into the program.
Sorry for the Noob questions I'm a film student learning FCP7 by myself so I have the upper hand come next semester. Thanks in advance.

Can't tell for sure but it sounds as if the drive is not properly formatted, or you do not have correct read/write permissions for it. There is no way you can use this drive with HQ video. You're going to get into problem if you even try.

Please Help Exporting PDF Portfolio and Black Background turns White

I am creating a PDF Portfolio in Adobe InDesign and I created a black background using the steps below. When I export the document into PDF form, the background turns to white.
I followed these steps to make my background black:
"Window>Color>Swatches to bring up the Swatches panel and double-click the Paper swatch. Change the Color Mode to RGB and move the Red, Green, and Blue sliders to 0 to change the swatch to Black. Click OK."
Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

You misunderstand what paper is for. Paper is quite simply the absense of ink or color.
By changing it, all you've done is show what something will look like printed on black paper. If you really want a black background you'll need to draw a frame, fill it with black and place it on the master page on it's own bottom layer. Lock the layer to prevent any problems.

Help with data imports and identifying correct contact

Hi Guys,
I am looking to import some data from a csv into a table called 'interactions'
This table is linked to contact via a 1-to-many relationship.
when I am importing data often I get errors saying that it cant determine which contact to use because we have contacts with the same name.
Is there anyway I can import data into the 'interaction' table and not only say which contact this is attached to but also provide some more information such as the contacts parent account so that it can identify the correct contact more often and leave
me less that I need to add manually?
Many thanks in advance

The data import wizard is built into CRM. You can now place csv files of different entities into a single zipped file to do a sort of pseudo batch import.
It may be helpful to download a template of the import file for the entity that you want to import. This can be downloaded within CRM. The benefit is that you are given the column headings. And when you hover over a column heading, it tells
you the data type it will expect. I will use the template and just copy and paste the data in from another spreadsheet if I get the data from a user. The import runs smoother then.
If you have the resources, there are 3rd party tools such as Scribe that can import data from different sources into CRM. A bit costly but you can get a trial version to test. The trial may only be good for 2 weeks. But it offers the ability
to transform data if necessary for the import.

Need help exporting address book and emails

Hi everyone; I have a problem that should be easy to answer, yet I've been in contact with several IT people and 90 minutes later still have no answer. As the forum heading suggests, I am using Novell's Groupwise Webaccess. I was given an email address through my University employer, and this is the email system that they use. I have ended my contract with the university and have been given 60 days more usage of Groupwise, but I would like to keep at least some of the information in my emails.
Questions:
1) can I export my address book to... anything, really, just so I can keep my contacts?
2) is there any way I can download my emails?
This extra info may or may not be helpful:
I only have access to the web version of Groupwise
I am using a mac
I have other email accounts, including gmail, hotmail, and outlook. I don't mind exporting this info into any of them.
Thank you for your help!

With only webaccess, it is difficult. However, you can use cut and paste or forward the email to another account. You just have to be creative...and willing to put a little elbow grease into it.

DBAdapters and polling - Exactly how do they work?

Can someone help me clarify a point please on how a DB Adapter polls for changes on a Database please?
I'm looking at this as a starting point for an ESB process so I would be grateful for any other relevant information you could provide.
1) Is this just based on the last time the row was updated?
2) Is this going to mean a big table scan for large tables, unless you create a new index to ensure this is more efficient?
3) What happens if the Db that the adapter is looking at is down? Will entries be lost, or will they be picked up with the last updated time?
4) Do the db adapters work differently for Oracle Transparent Gateways than that when using a Generic Gateway such as MySQL?
Many thanks
Chris
(updated)

answering as best I can [ don't work for oracle ]
1) Is this just based on the last time the row was updated? - well the best is to clear the row [ ie delete it when you're done reading ] because otherwise you need a logical deletion strategy based on a sequence key -see the Database Adapter Manual for more.
2) Is this going to mean a big table scan for large tables, unless you create a new index to ensure this is more efficient? - No. Again, see the Db Adapter manual.
3) What happens if the Db that the adapter is looking at is down? Will entries be lost, or will they be picked up with the last updated time? Since [ IMHO ] the sequence key or whatever will be in the same DB as the source then it will be transactional and picked up then as well.
4) Do the db adapters work differently for Oracle Transparent Gateways than that when using a Generic Gateway such as MySQL? .... My understanding was it was all JDBC and kind of generic ....
But I agree this very important part is very badly documented indeed.
My own bugbear is the lack of accurate documentation around once-and-once only guaranteed delivery [ addressed to some extent in the current 10.1.3 SOA Best practices - but you have to hunt really hard to find it ]
The same goes for ordered message delivery.
Out of the box ESB should provide once-and-once only in-order message delivery; the documentation never tells you whether it does or not [ i.e. if a message is in the Hospital all the other messages should stop behind it ] ... do they or not ? what is the absolute conditions for this ? where is the advanced JMS/Queues discussions around this ?
Putting little Synch/Asynch diagrams doesn't really help at this kind of detail level.

Light Weight Portal with Short Links and Google Indexing: how does it work?

We have set up an EFP and activated Short Links. The content is provoded by WPC and everything is accessible anonymous. Now we wantetd the site to be indexed by Google, for that we used the Google Webmaster Tools, cteated sitemaps, and so on ... but Google is not able to index our site!
On of the issues are that when the Site root is accessed (like http://hostname/) we send a redirect to /irj/site. Our whole site ist only accessible with /irj/site?NavigationTarget=navurl://gte5... an so on.
We also use an Apache Websever as a proxy ib front of the portal an rewrite URL's. This works fine for the enduser, but probably causes problems to Crawlers (anyone knows that problem?).
Anyone had a same problem with Google Indexing? And found a solution for that?
Thanks
