Loosing battery with photo import -solution question

If I download one 512MB to the ipod video(G5) it chews up about 60% of the battery. Does any one know if this would work
Connect the ipod to the camera adapter
connect a USB splitter (male to 2 females) to camera adapter
Connect one female to camera and the other female to an AC adapter (using a male to male cable)
Would I then be able to get juice to the ipod while downloading photos without the use of a computer. (I travel frequently)
Thanx---Xtian

You shouldn't need to use a power splitter on your iPod while importing photos... I wouldn't really recommend it, either. I use the camera connector with my iPod, and yes, it does seem to eat the battery during the import, but after the import is done (according to the battery indicator) it seems to get some power back. I know I'm probably stating this incorrectly in regards to what is actually happening with the battery; the cause is most likely just that the battery indicator on the iPod isn't 100% accurate.
Just thought I'd let you know what my experience is.

  • Dates not coming with photos imported from shared libraries

    My partner and i both have macs, we both use iphoto. Usually we use the shared photo library features to exchange photos so that we both have all the photos we want.
    The problem is that the dates don't follow. I'd actually like to see all the metadata imported (faces etc) but i'll live without that but the dates is a real problem.
    I'm pretty sure they used to come with the photos imported from shared libraries, not sure why they stopped... Ideas?

    How are you sharing the Libraries? How are you reading the dates?

  • Help with photo import quality in iMovie!

    The resolution of the iPhoto (5.0.2) pics once dragged into iMovie (5.0.4) severly deteriorates on my iMovie project. The photos are 21 inches widecrystal clear JPEGS in iPhoto, Preview and Photoshop, except once dragged onto iMovie they look blurry and pixely. My digital camera is a Sony 7.2 (shot pixs at 5M)
    Playing project footage on full screen in iMovie looks this way as well. So it is not just the import still shot on the clipboard that looks bad.
    How do I fix this problem to get clear quality ?

    Create your iMovie project in a high quality format (choose the highest one possible) and then the pics you import will be imported in a high quality. iMovie automatically adjusts the quality of your pics and movies based on the quality of the iMovie project you are creating.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "a high quality format", hlokty. Are you referring to the iMovie Playback preference, which lets you pick one of three playback settings?
    If so, note that preference does NOT affect the quality of the imported image. It has no affect on the quality of project clips like video, photos, or anything else. The preference only affects playback in iMovie itself. Low quality improves the playback smoothness. High quality improves the playback image.
    If should be noted that iMovie NEVER shows us all the quality that's there, for either video or photos. That must be kept in mind when viewing photos imported to iMovie. It's important to not judge quality by what you see in iMovie. iMovie is a video editor, not a video player.
    There are many Topics here discussing photo quality. To find them, search for words like "blurry" and "jaggies".
    Here's one:

  • Aperture looses contact with masters imported in Library

    I working with aperture 3 and since a couple of month aperture loses contact with imported master/pictures. At first I thought it was because i left the originals/masters in my time machine. But recently i imported pictures in my aperture library. Opening aperture now aperture says my pictures are not on line so I can't control my metadata. Please give me some clue or help to tell me what I do wrong

    Hi Dick.  Can't say from the information you've provided.  This line, though, gives me fibrillations:

    What have you been doing?  Where, exactly, are your Images' Masters stored?  What volume is reported when you right-click an Image with an off-line Master and execute "Show in Finder"?  What path is shown at the top of the dialog when you select an Image with an off-line Master and execute "File→Locate Referenced Master ... "?

  • Problem with photo import from iPhone

    I'm trying to import photos from an iPhone and get "the file is in an unrecognized format."  What do I do?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Problems with photo import from iphone 4 with ios5 to pc

    Help, when I try to import my pix using windows it will only import my first 77 pix which are already on my computer from past imports.  The other 100 pix on my iphone do not import or even attempt.  When the window comes up to import I click yes and it says importing 77 pix??? Why will it not import the other pix. I've recently updated my software to ios 5.0.1 but I'm not sure when I did this vs. the last imported pix. I have icloud but I clicked no on syncing pix to icould just because of all the space it would require.  Any ideas???

    More info: I can manually copy the pix from my iphone in the pc then paste to my folders in the pc??? I'm using Windows 7 home edition. And the 77 number is not the start/ending point of old pix new pix during software update.

  • Keywords imported but don't show up with photos

    I am not getting keywords to show up with imported photos. i've done a lot of searching on this and other forums to try to figure out what is different about my situation but to no avail. here's what I've deduced though:
    the keywords will import if I deselect “Copy the items to the iPhoto Library”. But if I leave the default box checked", I will not get keywords associated with the photos.
    (the rest of my discussion deals with a library where the imported photos ARE copied to the library)
    Interestingly, the keywords ARE imported into iPhoto (if one looks at the keyword list); they just aren't attached to the photos (i.e. clicking <Get Info> shows no keywords, as opposed to them being there but just not showing up on the screen with the image). Most (but not all) of my imported photos show up in iPhoto without any keywords attached. Most Events are all-or-nothing; i.e. all the photos of the event either have keywords or don’t. At least one Event is a mix. I cannot make any sense as to why some do, as the ones that do will be part of an event that all the other photo's don't show the keywords; additionally, neither the ones with nor the ones without keywords share any common feature or change (e.g. edited, rotated, file type, keyword/tag name, etc.).
    I'm a pretty basic user when it comes to photos (but with a fair amount of common sense and computer knowledge); not trying to do anything fancy here. I don't know much about photography, so I'm not manipulating photo settings on my camera and am not (purposefully/knowingly) manipulating the metadata directly from the file. So, I'm baffled as to why my system would be acting differently than any other "out of the box" iMac.
    In case it matters:
    -- the photos being imported originated from a Windows-based PC and tagged by Adobe Photoshop Elements. I have the same problem regardless of whether I export them (using Photoshop) to a file on the iMac or directly import them over the network from the PC using iPhoto.
    -- (Using iPhoto Library Manager) I created another iPhoto library to see if the same thing would happen with photos imported to a different library -- same problem. (BTW, I checked the new library's Keywords BEFORE I imported to make sure the keyword "library" wasn't somehow replicated from the previous library.)
    -- In one of your forum discussions, you said that these “copies” would be in the “Originals” folder within the iPhoto package, right? If so, then they are the same size as the files being imported minus a few KBs, presumably due to the lack of associated keywords.
    I assume that these "copied" files are suppose to retain their keyword/tag info. Any ideas why they aren't and/or what I can do about it? I tried rebuilding the database too but that didn't do any good. I'm figuring on trying to reimport everything again, but I fear I'll get the same result.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try the simple fix: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and see if the keywords show up. If not, then launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • IMovie HD, iPhoto 08/09 - Photos import, render and then disappear.

    *Software Overview*
    • iMovie HD
    • iPhoto 08, and iPhoto 09
    • Mac OS 10.5.6 and Mac OS 10.5.7
    • Network Home Accounts from Mac OS Server 10.5.5
    *The Issue*
    • Dragging photos from the Media Browser into iMovie HD.
    • Each photo imports, renders and then automatically disappears from iMovie HD.
    • This occurs regardless of what user is logged in, on existing Movies, or New.
    • This occurs on a clean profile, with Photos imported from another Library via Sharing.
    • This only occurs on Networked Users, Local Users have no problems.
    • If the photo is dragged to the desktop first, and then into iMovie, it works successfully.
    Has anyone run into this before?

    I am delighted to read that I am not the only one who gets burned by Ken in iMovie HD 6. I have spent hours on this problem and came to the same conclusion, that this is due to a glitch in OSX Leopard. The origin, mode of import or file format of the still doesn't matter. Interestingly, I seem to be the only one with the KB being stretched vertically (i.e. my fat nephew Ralf looks pretty slim). There are additional problems with the rendition of video effects. Several of the Quartz Composer effects (e.g. bump distortion, circle splash distortion) render bright and washed out.
    I also discovered that iMovie HD v.5 (five) in Leopard still renders the KB effect without a flaw. I am lucky to still have the old 5 version in the box. So I work in iM 6 (iMovie 7 is the biggest software insult Apple has ever launched against their loyal fans) and when I need to bring in a KB effect I save and reopen in iM v.5, do the KB and reopen in iM 6 with the KB effect still perfectly rendered and ready for additional editing (titles, transitions). By doing most of the still imports and KB's at one time, it is not that inconvenient or time consuming. It certainly beats altering the aspect ratio of each still. Try to get hour hands on a iM 5 version until Apple fixes the bug (hopefully soon), although my fat nephew Ralf prefers the stretch version. I checked Apple's downloads, they don't offer iM 5. Check for iLife 5 on eBay. Good luck!

  • HP TouchPad - Battery with question mark.

    HP TouchPad (16GB) WebOS/Cyanogen Mod daul boot.  When I turn on the TouchPad it boots to a screen with a white edged battery with a question mark in the middle.  When the charger is plugged in the home button or center button on the TouchPad lights up left and right.  I haven't been able to boot into the boot menu since this has been happening.  Could someone please tell me how to fix this?  I have read a forum on how to re-partition the TouchPad's drive to reinstall WebOS.  Here is the post here, http://www.souldevteam.net/blog/2012/07/24/fix-bricked-hp-touchpad-recovering-software-bricked-touch...
    Could someone tell me if this might help the problem or if there is another way?  Thanks.

    Sorry, HP doesn't support changing the OS on the touchpad.  
    Check out some of the touchpad threads over at http://www.webosnation.com .  They have one specifically for "Android on the TouchPad.
    The usual answers for this issue in webOS are: Check your charger brick - make sure the prongs haven't rotated out of the normal position; try another micro-USB cable; make sure you have power in the wall where the charger is inserted.

  • I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter.  If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
    How large a date change are you putting in?  iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time.  If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
    If that is not the case:
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
    Let me know the results.

    It does not magically appear in a new place.  It will only be where you put it.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • How do I download all my photos onto an external hard drive intact without loosing iPhoto's features, important info and details? I need to delete pictures and files to make room in My mac's memory which is currently full.

    Hi
    How do I download all my photos onto an external hard drive intact without loosing iPhoto's features, important info and details? I need to delete pictures and files to make room in My mac's memory which is currently full.

    So you want to move the iPhoto Library?
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. 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.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Sd photo import camera kit not working with iOS 8

    I bought an Apple brand sd card photo import camera kit for the iPhone 5 (lightning cable) a couple years ago. It no longer works with iOS 8.x. I now have an iPhone 6 Plus and it still does not work. I get the error "This accessory is not supported by this iPhone." Since it is Apple brand it should work.
    I have googled and searched the forums and found no leads on this. I was hoping with the latest 8.3 release it would be addressed. Does anyone know how to get this to work or is it an apple bug?

    One article that might be helpful is here (suggesting you need HUB if it's drawing too much power):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4106
    @ rotorcraft:
    It has to have a DCIM folder, but the directory after the DCIM folder, and the files themselves, have to follow DCF rules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designrule_for_Camera_Filesystem)..if it's the structure created by the camera it should be fine but if you change the folder to something other than DSC_xxxx and you change the image filename to something other than ABCD1234.whatever then it won't show up.
    You can double check if the kit is being recognized at all in Settings -> About, then scroll to the bottom, it should say like Apple Card reader or something I forget. If it isn't, I would just reboot
