Lost Functionality From '08 to '11 / Moving To Picasa? Your Stories

I recently lost my G5 DP after 6.5 years of great service. I am on an iMac now, loving 90% of it, but I spend a lot of my time in iPhoto and I am feeling sadly short-changed in '11 comparison to '08.
Side-By-Side Comparison
Viewing photos side by side in full screen mode to compare them was a favorite feature of mine in '08 that seems to have been pulled from '11. Am I missing something or is it actually gone?
Genuine Full Screen Mode
Full screen mode in '08 meant seeing the photo stand alone on a black background, which is a great feature. Sadly, this also seems to have been pulled from '11 and I am wondering again if I am missing something and this is there and I am missing it or if it truly is gone.
More Right Click Features
Right-click (option-click) on photos seems to be all but useless now in that it only allows you to flag, trash, rotate or rate (and basic edit of cut/copy/paste). Am I misremembering '08 having better right-click features?
Click On A Large View Photo To Drag To A Photo Album
This is one I very much miss. I can click on a large photo when viewing it and drag it to a photo album. And I can't right-click and add to a photo album either. I can either view in thumbnail mode and drag it over or... well, nothing else. Even when I am viewing a large photo with the tiny thumbnails underneath, I can't even click on the thumbnail of the photo I am viewing and drag it to the photo album. I quite like photo albums for quit sorting of stuff to upload to share to family and this method of only having a single way to add photos to an album seems unusually restrictive.
Aperture
I noticed that Aperture is now advertised view the iPhoto drop down menu, and I am wondering if these features above have been pulled from iPhoto and included in Aperture. Not that I would buy Aperture to get them, mind you, in that doing so would make me feel a little bit cheated.
Picasa
I would love to hear from folks here who successfully moved from using iPhoto to using Picasa instead. I like a lot of things about iPhoto, but I find Events almost entirely useless and more annoying than anything else (it insist on being the top dog in the navigation list, and I hate that iPhoto won't let me change that since I much prefer the regular pictures list as the primary category to sort by). Faces is also mostly an annoyance to me in that it doesn't do anything automatically very well. Add these to my seeing some of my ease-of-use from iPhoto '08 lost to progress and I am seriously wondering if it's time to just jump ship altogether to Picasa.
Is there a good way to use Picasa and iPhoto in conjunction with each other?
Thanks to everyone. Genuine, non-snarky, non-condescending responses appreciated.

Other folks have commented on the Side by side, Full Screen and dragging to an Album queries. (Flagging might help there instead).
IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback for feature requests and comments to the developers.
The Contextual menu option are moved elsewhere - which means they can be assigned keyboard shortcuts.
These same features work in pretty much the same way in Aperture. They wouldn't be a reason to move there - there are reasons, just those ones ain't it.
Is there a good way to use Picasa and iPhoto in conjunction with each other?
There are ways built-in to Picasa, but rather than use the API's created by Apple for linking to iPhoto, instead Google have created hacks for the job. The downside to this is that anytime iPhoto is updated even the smallest change to the Library will lock Picasa out until the hack has been updated.

  • Lost photos from iphoto library after moving it

    Comments:
    I have a G5 OS X Version 10.5.5.. I had a lot of photos in my iPhoto library and I was told I could move iPhoto application to my external HD by holding down the command key and then drag iPhoto over to the external HD. Which I did. I opened the external HD and all the photos where there in the iPhoto Library. I had to shut down my computer as I was away for a few days and when I turned it back on and went into the external HD the iPhoto application was not there nor the photos. My Time Machine has no record of them as iPhoto only seems to have a record of a new iPhoto Library on my desk. Can I retrieve these photos? Can you run iPhoto from your external HD? Thanks for your help. Regards Amanda

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    I was told I could move iPhoto application to my external HD by holding down the command key and then drag iPhoto over to the external HD.
    The problem with moving while dragging is that you defeat the default behaviour of the OS. If you simply drag then your Mac makes a copy of the library on the new volume and you have the opportunity to test it thoroughly before trashing the library on your start up disk.
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity 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.
    Next, moving your Library - which normally lives in your Pictures Folder - and moving the iPhoto application are not the same thing. You should not move the application.
    Start by doing an All Images Search:
    In the Finder
    -f
    Kind Images
    Size: Greater than 300k
    see if that finds anything.

  • Sidebar missing from iCal in Lion - seeking a third party product to restore lost functionality

    Apple has removed the sidebar, the always-on list of calendars that required no click.
    The shallow popover that appears only when clicked — obscuring part of the calendar before disappearing — is to me (and some others) an unacceptable substitute for working with multiple calendars, especially where calendars are grouped across multiple servers.
    I'm aware of third party alternatives to iCal. (Most full-featured calendar interfaces do have an always-on full-height list of calendars. Probably the best known alternative to iCal is BusyCal.)
    This topic does not seek alternatives; I do wish to continue using iCal, albeit in a way that is less frustrating than what Apple forces upon users of 10.7.
    This topic seeks:
    a third party product that will restore lost functionality to iCal.
    To any developer who reads this topic: please, I beg you, on my knees, submit your iCal sidebar app — or whatever you wish to call it — to the App Store as soon as you can. I'll gladly pay, and more than gladly help to test any pre-Store development version.
    Other readers please note: whilst I'm extraordinarily frustrated by Apple's design decision, this is not an invitation to rant. Let's gain something constructive from this discussion.
    If you wish Apple to restore the sidebar to iCal, as an option, then please:
    submit iCal feedback to Apple, with your use case; explain why for you personally the limited disappearing popover is a poor substitute; explain how the sidebar will improve both (a) your productivity and (b) your appreciation of Apple's software.
    Side note: no category includes iCal, so I file this opening post under Using Mac OS X v10.7 Lion.
    Thank you

    the new way
    Many things in the new iCal are beautifully designed. I am certain that the new iCal will be enjoyed by people who use the new multi-session screen sharing for Mac OS on iOS (that should be a separate topic).
    iCal's aqua popover default may be perfect for people who have only a handful of calendars.
    Critically
    The new design fails completely to offer an always-on full-height list of calendars — invaluable when working with more than a handful of things.
    The screenshot below, taken whilst evaluating BusyCal, shows a subset of my list of calendars (more than the average user, that's why an always-on list is so valuable). In shot: three accounts on a CalDAV server. I have other, lesser used accounts on other CalDAV servers. Also some use of Exchange servers. My own case is extreme but there's a guiding principle for a variety of use cases:
    some users need to see the list of calendars all the time.
    What's exmplified below has become impossible in iCal 5.0 (1535) in Mac OS X 10.7 (Build 11A511).
    I plead with Apple, or a third party developer, to restore the sidebar list of calendars to iCal.
    Apple's limitation is acceptable when the user has only two calendars —
    — but for some other classes of user, completely inappropriate.
    The percentage of users troubled by the loss of functionality may be less than the percentage enjoying the popover, but that in itself does not reduce the trouble, the frustration.
    The sidebar was present in 10.4, removed in 10.5. Many users of 10.5 complained.
    The sidebar reappeared in 10.6. Removal in 10.7 is almost completely dumbfounding.
    I would like to say, "give it time — the more you use it, the more it will be appreciated" but for me this is not true. For some weeks I tried to work with this build of iCal and the more I used it, the greater the frustration. I grew to avoid iCal.
    In most ways the feature set of iCal is unequalled. Support for many standards is excellent. The removal of the sidebar is a blight on this brilliance.
    I plead with Apple or a third party developer to fix this at the earliest opportunity. I want Apple iCal — but user-friendly, not crippled.

  • HT3529 I have lost all data on my iphone and the back-up is too old. How can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4? I have all the chats on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    Hi,
    I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
    Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
    What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
    The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

  • TS1967 When trying to recover a lost iTunes library file, the programme moved all the normal contents of iTunes folder to the desktop. Now what must I do?

    When trying to recover a lost iTunes library file, the programme moved all the normal contents of iTunes folder to the desktop. Now what must I do? There is no iTunes Library.itl file. On the desktop it is labelled iTunes Library.xml. Several others files have appeared there too including iTunes Music Library.xml
    Before I can use the programme is it necessary to take another step?
    Thanks for advice.

    Don't worry. I'm all for caution. I guess I should have asked a little more about what steps you took while trying to recover your lost library?
    The permissions thing may be a red herring, but if there is a problem with file access rights to the designated media folder iTunes has been known to place files on the desktop instead since it can access this location. The most common cause for such problems is working with a folder on an NTFS drive via a differnt account or on a different computer. In the normal course of events folders created inside user profiles have limited rights for other users.
    Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    Normally the iTunes folder will be created at <User's Music>\iTunes with the media folder inside it. The library files should all appear in the same place so your comment about there not being an iTunes Library.itl file is confusing. Is it just the case that the .itl extension is hidden? The two .xml files makes sense from the above and indicates that the active library is not in <User's Music>\iTunes, but you have a recovered file from when it was.
    If, in fact, the situation is that your desktop is acting as the main iTunes folder, and contains the library file, Album Artwork, iTunes Media and (optionally) Previous iTunes Libraries folders, with all other content being inside the iTunes Media folder, then it should be relativly easy to rearrange your into the correct shape and move them to the correct location.
    If things are more complex, with something other than a library folder containing a media folder, then reestablishing the normal order is more complicated. The iTunes consolidate function is used to bring copies of files stored outside of the media folder into the media folder. It may sometimes be needed as part of the process of tidying up, however it leaves behind originals. There are circumstances where there isn't room for two complete sets of the media files on the same drive which is why I suggested the script might be useful as it produces the same results for the library without leaving the originals for manual clear up.
    I think before you do anything however, we should get a clearer picture of exactly what is where. Could you perhaps take a screenshot of the desktop and post it here? Take a look at this post on making a split library portable. The same techniques I outline there can be used to lick your library into shape, it is just a question of working out which to use in which order for the best effect.

  • How can I call a Jscript function from XML, which is written seperatly outside the xml file

    Dear All,
    I have made a SharePoint ribbon button which should display an alert message with SharePoint custom list
    ID information. But it has problem for calling the Jscript methods, It may be a XML tag mistake!!! Unable to
    find the error in code line!!!, can somebody please tell me this error by referring my code snippet????
    It is a farm SharePoint solution I have kept the Jscript file in mapped folder named "Layouts"
    It  is showing the error as : JavaScript runtime error: The value of the property 'myFunction' is null or undefined, not a Function object
    That means, as I understand the control is not moving or not calling the function from JScript file....why it
    is so...not able to debug JScript or xml using Visual Studio that makes my effort tedious!!!
    Code:
    Elements.xml
    <CommandUIHandlers>
    <CommandUIHandler Command="ShowAlert" CommandAction="javascript:retrieveListItems()" EnabledScript="return true;"/>
    </CommandUIHandlers>
    <CustomAction Id="Ribbon.Library.Actions.Scripts" Location ="ScriptLink" ScriptSrc="/_layouts/RibAlert.js"/>
    </Elements>
    RibAlert.js
    <script>
    var siteUrl = http://A5-1224';
    function retrieveListItems()
    var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
    var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Measurements'); //getByTitle('Custom List');
    var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
    camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><Query><Where><Geq><FieldRef Name=\'ID\'/>' +
    '<Value Type=\'Number\'>1</Value></Geq></Where></Query><RowLimit>10</RowLimit></View>');
    this.collListItem = oList.getItems(camlQuery);
    clientContext.load(collListItem);
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
    </script>

    Hi,
    I suggest you write an alert() in your function to check whether it can be executed first.
    If alert() is ok, then it would be an issue of the code with Client Object Model, you can take a look at the link below about How to retrieve List Items Using JavaScript:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh185007(v=office.14).aspx
    If alert() can’t be executed, then please check whether the steps of created ribbon button is correct.
    The links below about how to add a custom button to the ribbon:

  • Windows 8.1 background task Javascript - Call angular controller function from task js

    Hi,
    The Ionic Side menu starter template for windows 8.1 is a very good option to run the ionic apps on Windows  8.1 phones.
    I am not sure whether this is related to Ionic/angular or VS2013 CTP 3.1 but if anyone can give some tips ,that would be great. I registered a background task as per the VS tutorial (Run JS task in background) and i tested it with windows toast notifications.However
    my requirement is to access webservice in background which I am not able to implement.
    The setup for background task is path to the js file but my requirement is to call a function defined within a controller.Is there any way i can access the controller function from an outside js file.I am new to Ionic,Angular and VS 2013.Any help would be great
    The structure of background task js file is as below
    (function() {
       --- I need to call my controller/service  function here---
        var notifications = Windows.UI.Notifications;
        var template = notifications.ToastTemplateType.toastImageAndText01;
        var toastXml = notifications.ToastNotificationManager.getTemplateContent(template);
        var toast = new notifications.ToastNotification(toastXml);
        var toastTextElements = toastXml.getElementsByTagName("text");
        toastTextElements[0].appendChild(toastXml.createTextNode("From Background!"));
        var toastNotifier = notifications.ToastNotificationManager.createToastNotifier();
        toastNotifier.show(toast);
        close();
     

    Are there any updates on this issue? I'm currently seeing this on a Lumia 822 with WP8.1, and the app has never been published to the store. I've only ever deployed the app from Visual Studio to my device. It worked when deploying the Debug build, then I
    tried a Release build, and it crashed immediately upon launch when trying to register the background task, but then I was able to go back to deploying/debugging the Debug build on the device for awhile. I made more changes, and now neither Debug nor Release
    builds work--both fail on the BackgroundTaskBuilder.Register() call with the error described in the original question:
    "The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070019)"
    I've tried changing the Task name during registration, rev-ing the version number of the application, adding the call to BackgroundExecutionManager.RemoveAccess() before BackgroundExecutionManager.RequestAccessAsync(), changing the name of the IBackgroundTask
    concrete implementation and changing the corresponding EntryPoint in the package.appxmanifest (as well as in the BackgroundTaskBuilder instance), and changing the package DisplayName to a new reserved name, all to no avail. The only thing I didn't try
    was associating with an entirely new app in the app store or paving my phone, as these are both fairly undesirable "workarounds."
    Even if this won't affect clients downloading the app from the store, this is a major roadblock during development, as we can essentially only use the emulator to test an app specifically designed to help solve problems involving moving around physically
    in the real world.
    Any more information would be greatly appreciated. If there's any information I can provide, please let me know.

  • Lost SMS from N95 which were stored on memory card...

    Hi,
    I have lost SMS from N95. I had deleted the files from the "private" folder from the memory card. When I restarted the mobile all the SMS were lost. I have copied the deleted files back to the "Private" folder and restarted the mobile and still the SMS are not seen.
    Please advise the way to get back the SMS...
    Thanks in advance.

    the only files found by the music player are a selection of very small (~20KB) audio clips stored on the phone memory!
    when I received the phone, I backed up my N70 and transferred all the information onto the N95 using PC suite. would this have anything to do with the music player not functioning properly?
    having searched this forum, it seems a few other users have had similar problems, which appear to have been fixed when they changed the file format of the audio, or put it in a different directory. I have tried the fixes mentioned in these threads but still the music player doesn't recognise anything...

    }Basically you just ignore the refcursor outbound parameter.

  • Why all gray in sidebar? Lost functionality!

    I've just upgraded (? not convinced I'm seeing an improvement) from 10.6.8 to 10.9.3 and am very disappointed to see that everything in the sidebar is shown in shades of gray. I've used FolderBrander for many years to color code my finder folders and it was great that the folder colors also appeared in the sidebar in 10.6.8. I could group associated folders by color in the sidebar and that made for very rapid and accurate access deep into my folder architecture. I am mourning this lost functionality.
    Could someone suggest how I could send this dissatisfaction along to Apple along with a request to restore colors to the sidebar?

    As an update, that 3rd party program called SideEffects didn't continue to enable the colors in the sidebar to appear. What I find most interesting is that the original color designations ARE present, it's just that some additional code eliminates them from appearing. Seems like Apple should easily be able to give the user the option whether to stay with the insipid all gray theme with colored tags or to re-enable the highly functional display of colors in the sidebar in a window and in the sidebar in the "save as" windows. There's no reason that we couldn't have both the "tags" (apparently meant for people who don't use the folder hierarchy when saving files to enable them to rapidly find their files again) and the previous nicely colorful "labels". I see that the gray sidebar has been a complaint ever since OS 10.7 Lion, but that Apple hasn't fixed the issue through several major OS revisions..
    I feel I've been punished for being very ordered in where I save files on my HD since I made extensive use of the tools provided by Apple in the past: I could color-group subdirectories on my HD within the sidebar to give me very quick access to different portions of the subdirectories I'd made within my Documents folder. I made less use of labels, but also found them to be superior to tags for how I do use them. I have found tags to be of no value to me, at the expense of the loss of something that was of value. I sure hope that Yosemite corrects this — but I’m beginning to have less faith that Apple is even listening to its customers — except for those who use the iOS and not the Mac OS.

  • I have lost Safari from my iphone. How do I reinstall it?

    I have somehow lost Safari from my iPhone. Can anyone help?

    It can't be deleted. It either:
    a) got moved to another page or into a folder.
    b) was hidden by setting restrictions.
    or
    c) has been blocked by a system policy enforced by an Exchange administrator if you added a business e-mail account.

  • I have lost appstore from my iphone4. ¿How could I download it again?

    Hi,
    I ihave lost appstore from my iphone, then I can't download other apps. How could I get it again?
    Thanks.

    It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • TV/DVD 19lv506: Full DVD functions from side of unit? Programming TWC remote for DVD operation?

    Lost remote and need to operate all DVD functions from either TWC remote or from buttons on side of unit. So far, unable to program TWC remote to work DVD, though fine with TV. Can't seem to do anything but Play, Stop and Eject from buttons on side of TV. Can't Fast Forward, Pause, Rewind or access menu to select scenes, so must restart movies from beginning after taking a break and watching regular TV.

    I don't know if that's possible. You may want to check Toshiba Direct for a replacement remote. They have a shopping assistance phone number listed at the top as well.

  • Lost functionality with Leopard...

    Lost functionality with Leopard upgrade....
    1 - AOL for Mac OS X (10.3.7) application: can't access email addresses when writing mail and can't attach files.
    2 - Canon's MP Navigator (2.2.2) won't batch scan documents with MP830. Worked fine with Tiger.
    3 - Can't mount USB hard drive attached to my airport extreme and when I try the extreme goes offline and I have to restart it.
    How about you all. I only used 'em all the time.

    I have the same problem.
    After upgrade from my Mac Pro to Mac OS X Lion yesterday, the same problem happened described by danhalli.
    No  connection to the printer over 2101nw. The MAC gets all information if an other computer makes a connection to the print server, so the communication works,  however connection cannot be established.
    There was no way to fix it. complete new installation from Printer Software or wireless  HP Print Server did not help.
    Important:  all other computer in the network are working fine with the connection manager (MAC and Microsoft PC´s)
    All MAC computer are working fine  with the SW 10.6.8 . The  SW 10.7.2 does not work I hope it will be fixed soon. If you can not print, it takes a lot of time !!!!

  • Is it possible to call the Print Quote functionality from Custom ADF page

    Hi,
    We are researching if it is possible to call the Print Quote functionality from the Custom ADF application.
    Goal is to pop up the PDF report upon clicking the Print Quote button on the custom page. Is it possible ?
    Atleast advice on the direction to go forward is appreciated.
    Thanks
