Library & saving problem

Hi all,
I love iphoto and the way it works, but there is one small thing i cant figure out...
when importing pix and making an iphoto library, the program saves it to its own library file.
this works perfect for working withing iphoto, but what about when i want to add pictures to my facebook or myspace? or when i want to email a picture using my online gmail or hotmail account?
Since the imported pictures are saved in the iphoto library file, i cant access them for these things.
So i guess my question is, is there a way to get iphoto to save my imported files and also copy them to folders in the finder, in the same way i organized my pix in iphoto?
I have over 40 folders within iphoto, and it would be great if i could see the exact same folders in the finder.
I know I can use the export function to export pix to the finder, but this seems a bit silly to do everytime i need something for a website or email...
I hope there is a way to make this easier!
Cheers,

Utterly unnecessary.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Trouble opening iPhoto library saved on ex HD after Yosemite update

Last week I saved my entire iPhoto library onto an external hard drive (Lacie) to create more space on my MacBook Air.
I made sure I was able to open the library safely with the 'option function' through the Lacie before deleting all of the 4k photos from my computer.
Today I updated to the OS X Yosemite. Now when I attempt to open the library saved on the Lacie, it's showing up grey and not allowing me to open.
ANY IDEA HOW I CAN ACCESS ALL OF THESE PHOTOS?
Any recommendations are highly appreciated.
Pictureless Pia

Hi,
I hope this helps you to ... I hat the same problem in Yosemite - iPhoto.
Importing the photo library ... I let it run for more than 24 hours ... but nothing.
I used iPhoto Library Manager to get back all of my photo in iPhoto.
This works for me ... it toke about 10 minutes to get iPhoto App work again.
You can download the iPhoto Library Manager for free and using the trail version.
Good luck ...

Mail attachment saving problem

Hi,
When I tried to save a Mail attachment today I got the following warning:
Mail was unable to save the attachment “File.numbers” to disk. Please verify your downloads folder exists and is writable.
The warning must be wrong because other attachments, even of the same kind, can be saved without problems. I observed that only such files are effected which contain subdirectories like numbers, keynote, etc. and my suspicion is, that the saving problems may come from wrong file reading/writing rights within these subdirectories, that the sender of the Mail may have imposed to prevent unwanted changes to his/her file. May this be so? Otherwise, what else?
(MacOs X 10.5.6, Mail.app 3.5 and, in this particular case, Numbers08)
Thanks for for help in advace!
Joe.

Hi Kappy,
Nothing at all. No error message but no copying either, and no change in the curser appearance when dragging to the Desktop.
When I go to Mail --> Message --> Forward as Attachment, the attachment in the composer window can be saved like a normal file and has an appropriate size, eg. the desired original file seems to be contained in there. However, I have no Idea how to extract the original .numbers file from that.
Strange, isn't it?
Thanks,
Joe.

Microsoft word notebook layout Saving Problems

Hi
I'm having problems with my microsoft word where in notebook layout it won't allow me to save when the ending is docx, which is the usual saving ending. It allows me to save publisher and normal blank word documents, however not the notebook layout. I'm using Snow Leopard and word 2011, have done the updates, and it's the update version of 14.2.3. When i took it to Apple they couldn't help me besides telling me that maybe i have a corrupted file on my laptop and that i should make a new user and transfer my files over. However, if there is a corrupted file then it would just go onto the new user and it also doesn't allow me to prevent it, if the saving problems happen again.
Has anyone seen this or does anyone know how to fix this problem? Could it be a virus or a corrupted file? And if it's a corrupted file how do i find it to delete it?
Thanks if anyone could help.

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem...

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem: When no file name is specified, Photoshop saves file to the root directory of the drive instead of the current folder. It auto names the image with the name of the folder that was active. Can this be fixed?
BTW: I was using "save for web"--not sure if it that matters.

Bug reports should go in the main forum.
And yes, SFW has it's own file code so that is a very important detail.

How to get to folder in /Library/Saved Application State/com.adobe.flashplayer.installmanager.savedState

I have a file saved in a folder which according to a find ?/ -name "" search is located here /Library/Saved Application State/com.adobe.flashplayer.installmanager.saved
But I can't browse through this folder structure in Finder (I have run command to allow me to see hidden folders if that is required).
Please can someone help me to find out how to get to this file. It's an excel spreadsheet.
Thank you

When I try to save another excel file that I have also opened from a password protected zip file, the automatic folder selected is "wzQL.8t0UHS". When I try to save a file with exactly the same name as the file that is missing into the folder "wzQL.8t0UHS" it tells me that the file already exists and asks if I want to replace it.
My assumption was therefore that it was some kind of cache where the file is intact.
When I've done a search on the name of the file I am looking for in Finder, I do not find the file.

Illustrator saving problems

Hello everybody,
In the last months I got more and more saving problems in Illustrator. I used CS5 and CS6 and now I switched to CreativeCloud where I have the same problems.
I deleted my system two times and built it up completely new - but the mistake remains. Even with an update to MacOSX10.8 and CreativeCloud didn't solve the problem.
When I try to save an Illustrator document the program sometimes starts to get inactive (I can't do anything more), so that I just can crash it. The file is saved, but when I open Illustrator again it is often unable to open any document without freezing again. After a complete reboot Im able to open Illustrator again proberly.

I hope someone can help me
Michael

depends on my work - sometimes 30gb down to 5gb - mostly its about 20gb. When I finished my work I save it to our server.
The bug appears at any status of free hard drive space.
What I didn't mention is that the computer sometimes can not shut down after that illustrator issue. The screen becomes grey like on a normal shutdown but it won't ever end. Finally I have to crash the system completely.
What I wonder about is that neither a program update nor a system update could fix it. Is it possible illustrator doesn't like my hardware - the SSD maybe?

Lion not saving settings, library privileges problem?

Yesterday I did a clean install off Lion after running the last 3 developer previews without any big problems.
After the clean install I started restoring data and setting back, but only what I needed !!
For example:
I restored the e-mail settings and two folders and opened the mail app.
After putting in all the password of the accounts I edit the new mail sound.
The sound would not work, also some settings in the e-mail accounts I edited would not save.
Only after I opened mail and removed the settings file and closed mail it was saved and it looks like it's saving every time.
Just now I setup iStat menus 3 and made everything as I like it in the menu bar.
But after restarting to complete a other installation the normal clock was back and the objects from iStat menus wore gone.
The are also some finder settings that will not save.
Anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it ??

Hi,
You may have solved your issues by now, but I have similar issues with iStat Menus ver 3.18. It is suppose to be Lion Compatible, but I'm finding it very buggy. I get some console errors, mainly relating to menucracker which they use. Searching around the web so other users with similar issues. The problem (at least as I understand it) is that it fails to save changes to the pref file. Most errors are seen on clean Lion installations. If you upgrade from SL, it will generally work. I've sent them some error reports, but have heard nothing back.

"The iTunes Library file cannot be saved" problem...

Well, even on iTunes 10, the problem doesn't seems to be fixed yet.
I'm still getting the error no matter what I do (I tried disabling the read-only mark in the iTunes folder, but it won't work because iTunes rolls it back to it's previous state).
Has anyone found a fix for this issue?

With that particular message nowadays, Eset security software interfering with iTunes library file writes is the likeliest culprit.
Do you have a 64-bit version of Windows 7? If so, give the following instructions a try:

(If you're 32-bit, all your program files will be in the iTunes folder in \Program files\)

ITunes library saved on external hard drive. iTunes on new computer does not recognize.

Hi, My entire iTunes library (roughly 100gb for iPod Classic) has been saved to an external hard drive. I just built a new computer (Windows 7), and loaded the latest version of iTunes. I have changed the library location in Preferences on both the General tab and the Advanced tab to reflect the location on the external hard drive. The new library location has been saved, but the music on the external hard drive still does not show up in my iTunes library. The only things that show up in my iTunes library are only a few items that have apparently been saved to iCloud (although I never set up an iCloud account - nor do I want one). How do I get iTunes to recognize the external hard drive library instead of the other? Thank you.

Thanks. Realized something though...on the old computer, Windows XP had a problem (R6034) that prevented iTunes from opening or upgrading.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

HELP!! Lumia 710 Video recording/saving problem

So I'm having my Nokia Lumia 710 from 2012 February. I tried to record videos but there are 2 different ways how my phone handles it
1. After making a video, it freezes (The screen freezes, the last picture of the video is visible, it's probably saving) and than, the video is gone. The phone locks itself, and the video+music library doesn't contain my video
2. The phones saves my video (happened only a few times...) , but when I'm looking it back (on PC and on phone) it's lagging, and pictures fall out... Seconds fall out from the video, but the sound is running. The picture freezes sometimes, and the sound is running.
The longer the video, the bigger problem.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!

I'm experiencing the same problem (1) with my Lumia 800. It started recently and does not always occur.

Flash Pro CS6 BUG - inconsistent end of line for xml files in library saved in xfl - MESSES UP SVN

When saving in XFL with Flash CS6 on Mac (it also happened in CS5.5), the generated xml files in library often have inconsistend end of line, which blocks SVN commits and I have to manually go in the files and make them consistent.
The XML nodes themselves all have \r\l as end of line, while, within <[CDATA[]]>, they only have \r.
We think this happens only when creating new library items on mac, on windows it doesn't happen.
This slows us down incredibly when working on a team using svn.
SVN doesn't upload files with inconsistend line ending.
Line ending shoul be consistent within the same xml file to make svn operations smooth.
Check an image of the bug:
http://www.pippoflash.com/_test/flash_bug_eof.png
you can see clearly the differences.
thank you
Filippo

Thanks Filippo, I could see that now!
While I was investigating this, I found that this is even happening on a file created and saved on just Windows. I was able to reproduce this using the following steps
- Create a new AS3 file on Windows
- Drag out a component to the stage say a Button component from the User Interface section of the Components panel
- Convert the button component to a Movie Clip Symbol
- Save the file as XFL and examine the Library XML files (the End of Line is just 'LF' in CDATA section whereas it is 'CR LF' everywhere else)
Since you were saying 'Items created in windows have no problem', does that means, SVN can commit those without any issues for you? And do you face problem only when the file is Created and Saved on Mac(where the end of line is just LF every where) but Modified and Re-saved on Windows(where the end of line is inconsistent)?
Thanks!

IWeb Saving problems

I really hope that this makes sense. Using iWeb '06.
Two problems here: I moved my iWeb files around to consolidate and discard duplicate files between my Mac's HD, duplicate files on the desktop and an external drive. I just did an update to my site and to my horror, it "couldn't save media files" - and showed a long list of files. I went and found them from the new location on my HD and re-dropped the movie and picture files in. Then, when I tried to save, it listed three new but non-specific files ("movie" "dropped pict image"). I checked the pages and all pictures are visible. Then when I tried to save again, almost the entire previous list of "Missing" files (most of which were visible anyway) came up again as being unable to be saved.
Then, when saving, it didn't know where iWeb was...
"The location of the document iWeb cannot be determined. You can specify where to save it."
So it called itself "Domain" and it saved itself to the Desktop. Then it told me that it would be replaced...fine. The thing is, it has never done this before. I looked in the Library folder/Application support/iWeb, and there is a Domain file in there too, and it opens the same iWeb as the one on the desktop.
I have no idea why this is happening. Something has gone screwy - obviously it did not like having its files moved around, but I have replaced those files from the same ones in the new location.
I have not tried to publish my site (assuming that I even can) as it's after 3 AM and i have been trying to fix this for hours. My website looks fine - I shudder to think of how it will look after publishing, but I want to make sure that everything is where it should be before publishing.
Thanks for any advice. I thought I'd check here before calling Apple as they keep telling me to check the website anyway!

The sites extension doesn't always show, if you hilight the domain file and go to finder get info then it should say what the extension is. The domain file is where iweb saves all the files so as long as you have that you should be OK. It isn't a good idea to move or re-move files unless you know what they do.

Dreamweaver CS6 Library Updating Problem

When updating my menu, which is a Library item, using Dreamweaver CS6, after the initial update sequence the program keeps trying continuously to update related files but will not complete the update. After I cancel the update it initiates the update again and again does not complete the update. The original complete update actually works but the continuous updating cycle make it so I have to close the program and restart to even work on the site.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I am using the Creative Cloud subscription for CS6. I am using the Windows 7 professional platform.

Same issue here:
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Save a library item that is referenced in a simple html file
2. When saving the template it correctly asks me if I want to update the above HTML file. When I click update it immediately comes up with a second update box without saving the library item again. It is instant.
3. Above HTML is never actually updated.
Expected results: It should only me once per save to update files that the library items are referenced in. CS5.5 did not have this problem.
The only solution I found was to remove the library item from the HTML template and re-add. That fixes it which definatley leads me to believe it is a bug in the CS6 library.
