Looking for program similiar to iphoto

Hello, I am one of the many people frustrated with the file organization in iphoto. i thought i could live with it, but i cannot and was wondering if anyone knew of a program similiar to iphoto that will let me org and name the folders my way and also resize images with in it (unlike iphoto, in which you need to export to resize). I looked at the iview media programs, but I don't need something for music and movies, only photos. any ideas? are there any plug-ins maybe that will let me do this? thanks!
Karen

Hi Karen,
Graphic Converter (which you already might have on your computer) will let you browse folders of images (your folders organized the way you put them), and do any kind of editing. You can quickly email, catalog, print, do a slideshow, edit IPTC and EXIF tags. It does much much more.

Looking for a copy of iPhoto 2.0.1 UPDATE...

Looking for a copy of iPhoto 2.0.1 UPDATE... can't find it anywhere?

fireguy
The update for 2.0.1 is only available through Software Update. Look for Software Update in System Preferences.
The update will be offered if Software Update thinks you only have iPhoto 2 installed.
If you have updated to 2.0.1 before go to:
MacintoshHD> Library>Receipts and look for:
iPhotoUpdate201.pkg
Delete this receipt. And try Software update again.

i have acquired windows office 2011 for my macbook but unable to open it. There are currently 3 files in the folder, 1 of which seems to be the actual program which is a hfs file. iv tried looking for programs to help me open it but failed.
when double clicking on the image it says unable to open and gives me the option to search the app store.
any help would be much appreciated

Well, first, just make sure it's the Mac version and not the Windows version (which indeed would not run on your Mac). You say "Windows Office" which is why I mention it. I think you probably just mean "Microsoft Office" though.
Next, is this on a disk (DVD), or did you purchase and download it from the Microsoft site?

I'm looking for program testers

I wrote a bundle of disk & file utilities, calculators, extensions and so on.
I'm looking for program testers.
You need to have OS 9.2.2.
You are supposed to experiment with the programs on files on a disposable volume, like a second hard disk or a temporary Disk Copy image with disposable copies of your files.
Then you can report your comments on the forum: http://cliffsproject.tk/
The forum can be viewed with iCab 3.0.5 and Netscape 7.02.
You find a preview of several of the programs on the forum.
Download link for test version 1.0d1: http://www.sendspace.com/file/g0nqo3
Scroll to the bottom to the big orange button under "Download Link: cliffsproject.gz".
This test will work 1 month.
The code is hundreds of thousands of lines and I'm changing this every day, even with search and replace.
There could be a severe error.
That's why I'm looking for testers.

I didn't experience serious problems.
OK, if you are so confident it would work, why not release a several clones of your Mac to several users to have a totally controlled environment for people to test your software under. Then people can at their leisure try to see if adding any of their commonly used programs to see if they affect What you are about to use.
If you distribute it under an uncontrolled environment, you can never know what actually is going wrong.
I think that just reading the code is the best way to find errors, but it's very long.
Furthermore, it is highly unlikely than more than 1/100th of 1% of the people on this board are programmers. Of those maybe 1/100th of 1% are still running Mac OS 9.
The Classic forum has all but gone dead:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=726
And more people out there are capable of running Classic than even booting into 9.
You'd have better luck trying to start a usergroup of people who use 9 by looking at http://www.apple.com/usergroups/ for people interested.
This being a user to user forum of people who are troubleshooting their own problems is not the best of places to find beta testers. People barely have time to troubleshoot their own problems with one program, let alone 130.
I hate to play the devil's advocate here, since I normally am optimistic, but I don't think you are going to get a significant number of testers here with your approach.

[looking for] programming language news site

Hi,
Is there such a site to introduce new programming language monthly or weekly?
Thanks, TIA(that's all)

How about people post their favorite language related news sources. For example:
General:
http://lambda-the-ultimate.org
Lisp:
Some lisp news site
Python:
Some python site
etc.
I prefer to stay away from the 'planet' aggregators because there is too much irrelevant information (e.g. personal blog postings) picked up by them.

Screensaver always looks for external server when iPhoto event selected as screensaver.

When I have iPhoto selected as a source for displaying pictures on screen saver, the screen saver always tries to connect to my external server although the photos are resident on the macbook HD. How can I change the default behaviour so it will not do this. If I am not a home the screensaver will not display any photos since it cannot connect to the server.

1. It's not a problem as you never ever access your photos in this way.
2. If you want to back up your original photos you do this via the Export function: File -> Export
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
3. None of this saves space on your HD. To do that you need to move your Library from the HD to the external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
a. Quit iPhoto
b. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
c. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
d. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
4. That particular Apple Genius isn't.
As to the specific questions:
Why is this happening? And can I fix it so that it doesn't happen when I next import photos into iPhoto?
It's happening as that is how iPhoto works and there is nothing ti fix. Exporting makes the issue redundant.
Should I just stop using iPhoto?
Why?
What happens if I change the names of the Master folders in the back end of iPhoto to reflect the Event names in the front end?
You'll corrupt the Library. And it's unnecessary.
Would it be better to just organise them on my hard drive?
No.

Looking for software or a service with which I can create a personalized photo calendar

I am looking for software or a service with which I can create a personalized photo calendar. Any recommendations?
Jerry

Thanks for the reply.
iPhoto, unfortunately, has some real problems in my opinion. Control over image placement and size is limited. This is compounded by the fact that Apple has not made the job any easier by refusing to publish information such as recommended aspect ratios and pixel sizes of images used to create a calendar. Obviously, these both change as the page layouts change. But, I don't think it is too much to ask that Apple supply image aspect ratios for each frame size, 2:3, 3:4, 1:1, or something else. What pixel sizes are required for each frame size/aspect? It is impossible to place 2 photos (or 1 photo and a name) on one date should 2 birthdays fall on one day.
Further, there is no recommendation for color space to be used by the printer.
I am tired of trying out a photo in the calendar only to find it looks bad at the pixel size and aspect I chose, then have to go back to the original, re-crop, resize, and wrestle with bringing it back to iPhoto. (I use Aperture to organize my images.)
I must also add that I had a very bad experience with an iPhoto book earlier this year. Don't know if Apple has fixed the problems as I refuse to invest another 20 hours of time and more then $150.00 to find out.
I am seriously looking for something to replace iPhoto (unless changes are made) to do the 10 or 15 calendars for my family again this year (and possibly redo my book).

I have the new version of iMovie, and when i try to start the program, i can't because it says that it is looking for some movie files from the Iphoto, so all the program is locked up... how can i do to restart the program??

Hi
Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
• Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
• Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
• Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
• Then iPhoto should start up OK
• Now Quit iPhoto
• START iMovie
Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

IPhoto user looking for a bit more editing ability

I love iPhoto but I wish I could extract parts of pictures to go on other pics. Then I use a cloning tool to fix. I can't stand Adobe Elements is their any other program out their that people are using for this kind of editing. Aperture?

matbran
I don't think that Aperture is what you're looking for. Try Graphic Convertor

or try searching on http://www.macupdate.com using 'image editor'.

Changing iTunes library that iPhoto looks for

Hello all...
I have the same problem that others have posted about but with a bit of a twist. When I go to add iTunes music to my slideshow, it says to "open iTunes 6 or later to populate this list." I have tried the suggested Apple solutions but I think my "twist" is where the problem lies.
My iTunes library [and music] is stored on an external drive and accessed through my in-home network.
The one time I did manage to get iPhoto to pull up a library in iTunes showed a handful of songs and playlists that are probably still on the PowerMac hard drive. Is there a way to change the iTunes library that the iPhoto program is looking for?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto will look to the currently active iTunes library. So if you have more than one, open the one you want to use before opening iPhoto.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.

Looking for graphics program

OK, not sure if this is the right forum, but I couldn't find a better spot.
I'm looking for recommendations for a good middle of the road graphics program for my Mac. On my PC I used Paint Shop Pro. Photoshop is expensive and way too powerful. I'm looking to edit picutres and design some website grade graphics.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

There are many graphics applications available. Preview can do some elementary image editing. iPhoto can do more. For more advanced image editing, here is a list of six, off the top of my head; I am sure there are more:
Gimp - Needs X11.
Gimpshop - Gimp variant. It's supposed to be more Photoshop-like. Needs X11.
http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294
Seashore - Open source Cocoa. Partially based on Gimp, but not X11.
http://seashore.sourceforge.net/
Graphic Converter - Shareware, worth many times its price. It is not the most powerful image editor in this list, but it does much more. Its real forte is opening any graphic format you are ever likely to encounter, and many, many more. Anybody who works with image files should have a copy.
Color It! - Comparable to Photoshop elements in features, but cheaper, and much faster.
Photoshop Elements - Much cheaper than Photoshop, but more than enough for most non-professionals.
Gimp and Gimpshop use X11, which makes them rather un-Mac-like, but they are free. I have not really used any of the free ones, since I already have the other three. If I needed a free app, Seashore is the one I would try. Graphic Converter and Color It! are my favorites. Photoshop Elements is probably the most powerful.

If your needs are limited to those tasks then both Preview and iPhoto will fit the bill They are already on your Mac. There is a free download from Google called Picasa available here:
http://picasa.google.com/
It works much the in same manner as iPhoto. For some really heavy duty work there is GIMP available from SourceForge:
http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/ Also a free download.

Looking for a program or app

just coming from windows,i dont know if you call them apps or programs? im looking for something that will keep track of customers,money they owe,and money they pay.would be nice if it worked with the calendar and phone book but not necessary.thanks

You didn't provide the actual name of the Windows program you are using so that features or prices can be compared. What do you expect to pay for a program, or do you want to use an online system that has monthly fees?
I don't know of any inexpensive programs for the Mac that are specifically set up for Farriers, but there are many database type programs that might be adapted to your needs. GrandTotal, $79 - offers pretty good integration with the Mac Address Book and Calendar (especially if you get it bundled with their TimeLog program for an extra $10) and it also has an iPhone-iPad program that can read open and due invoices you've created with their program.
You could also take a look at Bento, $49 - from FileMaker, which also has a program for iPhone-iPad. They offer some invoice templates that you can download and modify.
Both of these companies offer free trials.
I haven't used either of these products, but I am looking for something with better integration with my iDevices. The Quickbooks Connect program for iPad only works with the Windows version of Quickbooks Pro 2011 and requires a monthly subscription. Windows users are still complaining about it's lack of features so I'll probably pass.
One of my clients has offered to buy my Quickbooks for Mac, and I might take him up on it if the GrandTotal program works out for me. The program is great, but not very nimble on-the-road.
Hope this helps.

Problem with my program looking for the settings file in the wrong folder

I have been writing a simple FTP file uploader, what I want to do is be able to select the files I want to upload in windows explorer and then right click and click the menu item and it launches the program and passes the files paths that I have selected to it.
So I use this in the windows registry "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe -jar D:\BenFTP\BenFTP.jar %1"
It launches fine and has no problem finding the files I want to upload. The problem is that it tries to look for the settings file in the same folder that the file I am try to upload is in. Which it's not suppose to do since the settings file is in the same folder that the .jar is in.
Edited by: ColNewman on Feb 5, 2008 6:55 PM

So, you're looking for your settings file in your current working directory. There's no way to set the CWD in your registry entry (is there?) so that isn't a practical thing to do. Presumably you're using a File object or a FileReader or something? Can't do that.
One alternative is to look for the settings file in the classpath. You can get a URL to a file in the classpath like this:URL settings = this.getClass().getResource("/settings.xml");Or you can get an InputStream to read the file by using the getResourceAsStream method. You would have to make sure that your executable jar file contained a Class-Path entry that specified the right directory, because the directory the jar is contained in isn't automatically in an executable jar's classpath.
Another alternative is to ask the user where the settings file is supposed to be, and put an entry in the Preferences (java.util.prefs) to remember that location.
