Lightroom 3 not sure which pictures are which in Library view/slideshow?

Well I've been trying out LR3 for the past week or so and have a nagging problem. Say I had an import yesterday from a birthday party, and one today from a football game. I'll import the football game pictures and then be in library mode, with the view showing all pictures. Down with all of the football pictures, every once in a while, randomly, some of the football thumbnails will switch to show birthday party pictures. And the same thing happens in slideshow mode...you'll be cruising along with football pictures, and out of the blue one will "flip" or switch to a birthday picture. This is driving me nuts and makes it difficult when you're all ready to work on a picture, when all of a sudden it flips over to a picture from another day. Can anyone shed any light on this?

I can't but I have seen this in Develop when using Crop. The image flip to something from a different location and back. Bizarre.

HT4914 Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library

Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library

iTunes match should work for that. I am assuming your friend gave you some music from a flash drive, and yor not sure if he/sh pirided it or not, and this is understandible. this screen shot should help. I also sugest looking into google play, which is not as convienet as far as combining with iTunes, but is free I bleive.

I've never used the contacts part of sync process as I wasn't sure if it would store the contacts I have on my phone on my computer or vice versa (which would be crap as I don't really use outlook etc for contact storage)

Not all selected pictures are shared in album sharing in Photostream

I am trying to share an album with my friends on photostream. After i selected the album, added the friends, and waited for ever to upload the pictures, I realized that not all the pictures are available on the shared album. So i had to go back again and check the photos one by one to see what has been uploaded and what is missing to reupload them manually. This can get very tiring in large albums.
I guess mmy question is this:
Why is it doing that ? and how can i avoid such behaviour?
Is there a way that i can monitor / check the photos uploaded to make sure that the full album is there online ?

Hello Karim Zaafan,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I was thinking that it might be a good idea to see if perhaps you are bumping up to the limits of Shared Photo Streams.
iCloud: Photo Stream limits
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858
Shared Photo Stream limits
The current Shared Photo Stream hourly and daily limits are as follows:
Maximum number of photos to share per hour: 1,000
Maximum number of photos to share per day: 10,000
These sharing limits are separate from the upload limits above. For example, in the same day you could upload 10,000 photos to My Photo Stream and then share those 10,000 photos, or 10,000 other photos.Some additional limits for Shared Photo Stream usage:
Maximum shared streams an owner can share: 100
Maximum shared streams a user can subscribe to: 100
Maximum subscribers per shared stream: 100 (the number of subscribers on each shared stream)
Maximum number of photos per shared stream: 1,000
Maximum number of comments per shared stream photo: 200 (a comment can be either a like or a text entry)
Maximum characters per comment: 200
Maximum number of invites a shared stream owner may send per day: 200
Also I would recommend this precautionary step from iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting found http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Cheers,
Sterling

I have many photos in the library folder of iPhoto, but actually I don't know which photos were used in my album.
Is there any method to find this?
Thanks.

Album or Book?
If Album you can find the ones not already used:
File -> New Smart Album
Album -> is not -> Any

How do I make sure my pictures are being backed up on my photo stream?

I kept getting notifications every time I charged my phone telling me that I didn't have enough space in iCloud for my phone to be backed up. I deleted the camera roll from being backed up on iCloud because I was told the last 1,000 pictures would automatically be uploaded to my photo stream on iCloud. I was also told that my photo streams do not count against iCloud storage because my phone hadn't been backed up for 11 weeks. How do I make sure my picture are being backed up on my photo stream?

Photo stream doesn't back up photos, it streams them to your other devices. Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing sufficient time for them to download to your devices/computers. It is true that photo stream photos don't count against your storage.
You also shouldn't rely on your backup to save your camera roll if you're going to delete the photos from your phone. If you delete them, then back up again, the new backup will overwrite the backup containing the deleted photos and they will be lost.
If you want to save your photos, import them to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Which pins are which?

I'm using the parts of a spare usb cable and a couple of pieces so that I can plug into the bottom and get the line-out feed.
The problem isn't how to do it, but which pins are which. I've found diagrams that say it's the same for all ipods, but it's hard confirming. A multi-meter barely registers anything because even if you try to measure any AC current, line level is so low that it's hard to pick up much.
I connected pins to the line out displayed in the diagram, and I've tested the continuity to ensure that the signal goes from one end to the other, but nothing audible comes through.

I've tested the continuity to ensure that the signal goes from one end to the other, but nothing audible comes through.
How are you testing it?
Line level is only ~1 volt so you need headphones or and amp. If you are plugging it into a speaker, you won’t hear much, if anything.

How to determine which pictures are in albums?

With 7000 pictures over 10 years, I decided to group some into albums. This I did. I then came back the next day to continue my task and learned that photos are not "moved" into albums but all 7000 remain in the library. Trouble is I do not know which photos have already been put into albums. When looking at the library is there a way to know which photos belong to an album? Is there an app for that?

Smart albums can only tell which photos are not in an album.
Why isn't there a label under the photo library that indicates that a certain photo is part of the this face, this album and that event?

How to tell which items are in iTunes library on disc but not in program library?

I made a mistake the other night and I deleted some items from my iTunes library ... but NOT from disc.
These items are still in my 65 gig iTunes library on disc. Somewhere.
I'd like to re-add these songs. Is there any way to tell which songs in the iTunes library on disc are not in the iTunes program library?
I don't want to have to add all 65 gigs again and then remove all the duplicates
thanks!

You should try dragging some files already in the library into iTunes to see what happens. I just did, and the new iTunes 10.6 seems to be ignoring them. I then made a copy of a file already in the library, and I added both it and the original by dragging and dropping. Only the new file was added. There was no warning about duplicates in either test. So you may be able to drag your whole library back into iTunes.
For when you do want to determine what files on disk aren't in the iTunes library or vice versa, here's one way to do it (if there's an easier way, I'm all ears):
Export your library as a playlist to a text file.
Use a program that can recursively list all your files on disk as full paths and save its output to a text file.
Load the into a decent text editor. I use Notepad++. Then use a regexp search/replace to tidy up the files so that both consist of one fully qualified filename per line.
Sort the files.
Diff the files and examine the differences.
I can do both 4 and 5 in Notepad++.

Can I make the thumbnails in Lightroom bigger, when the pictures are missing/ offline?

Hello everybody,
I have a huge problem. There are some pictures from a friends wedding in lightroom who are missing/ offline. The problem is that the pictures aren't on my computer or memory card anymore and I already tried a data recovery with Disk Drill. Unfortunately the pictures (documents) which have been found by Disk Drill, are damaged and can't be opened. So the pictures are really gone.
But now I was looking in Lightroom (i've uploaded the pictures with Lightroom in the first place) and I see that the thumbnails are from a reasonable quality. That's why I am wondering if it's possible to larger the thumbnails without losing quality/ pixels. Of course I already tried a few things (SmillaEnlarger & some things in Photoshop), but unfortunately the pictures are still very bad.
Or is there any other way to get this pictures back? I still got the catalogus from Lightroom where the pictures where.

I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Imane

Thank you very much. I already tried that one and unfortunately it doesn't work at my pictures, because the pictures I have are from a bad quality and a lot of pixels are missing. See example:
But thanks anyway!!!!

When i plug my iPhone 5 into my PC not all my pictures are in the files

when i plug my phone into my PC i have around 5 or 6 files all containing pictures in a weird order (not sure why they aren't in one folder it was automatically put that way), all together adding up the amount of pictures in all folders there are about 1700 but on my phone i have 2300+, why are all my pictures not loading? i need help quickly as i'm going traveling in 9 days and i need to free the space on my phone.
Thanks for your time and help.
my ios is 7.0 and it isn't because i don't have the new ios because i've had this problem for awhile now (around 6 months)

infact i posted this exact question 10 months ago and i never got a reply.

TS3274 I have a few games that I keep getting a message that I cannot do something stating that I am not registered. I am not sure what they are talking about.

I have a few games that I just moved over to my Ipad 3 but it will not allow me to get into the social part. It keeps telling me that I
have not registered yet. Not sure what they mean or how to fix it.

Are you registered with the App Store?

I have a 3g and want to make sure my pictures are saved, how do I do it.

I have an iphone 3G and want to save my pictures that I have on it. I'm not sure how to do it, or if it does it when I sync my phone.

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

Not sure iPhoto backed up my entire library

I just backed up my iPhoto library, but I'm not sure iPhoto included all of my content.
When I do File > Get Info on my iPhoto library, it says it's over 10GB in size. I tried to create a Burn Folder in Finder and burn the library onto multiple DVD's, but Finder says I need a disc that holds more than 10GB and doesn't seem to want to archive it very easily.
I figured there's got to be an easy way to do this, so I searched on "iPhoto library backup to DVD" in this forum and someone nicely said that to back up in iPhoto 7.1.3 (which is what I'm using), simply go Share > Burn.
I did the Share > Burn thing and iPhoto created a DVD for me, theoretically of my entire iPhoto library. It all fit on one dual layer DVD+R disc and the resulting iPhoto library file size is about 7.8GB.
So I'm wondering, where did the other 2GB go? Or does iPhoto use this space for thumbnails or something like that? At first I thought to myself, "okay, maybe it copied all my photos, but left out all my iPhoto videos"... but no, all those appear to be there...
Can someone put my mind at ease here? Did iPhoto backup my whole library? It didn't ask me to insert a second disc. Also, if it happens that iPhoto DID backup my whole library, and for example, the remaining 2GB of apparently "missing" photos are thumbnail-space etcetera, when I eventually do have more than 8.5GB of library to backup, will the Share > Burn feature spread them out over two or more dual layer DVD's?
Thanks for any insights here.

It may be the database files that are of a different size. Compare the thumbXXsegment.data files and the Library6.iPhoto database files for size differences. I've not tried a whole library via that method so don't have first hand experience on what the size differences might be caused by.
However, if the photo count in the two are the same then you must be OK.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
