Migrate reference library to non-referenced ...

I wanted to give iPhoto'11 a thorough test-run (working with faces, building albums & such) prior to committing to it. So I initially setup the library to be a reference library. I'm now satisfied (mostly) with iPhoto, and (more importantly) I'm now getting tired of making sure both my original photo library on disk and the iPhoto reference library are in sync (e.g., adding new photos to both). Is there a trivial way to force iPhoto to now import all the existing referenced photos, so that my library will no longer be a referenced library? As I now have lots of meta-data, e.g., faces, I don't think rebuilding the library from scratch is an alternative. Thanks!

No.
The Library packages contains aliases that point to the actual files. You'll need to replace these aliases with the actual files.

How can I move my old iPhoto library into a Referenced Library format and use that as my default?

Hi, I have been using iPhoto for photo management where all the jpegs have been living, in organized events by date and subject for some time. I recently upgraded to aperture and am using the same iPhoto library. The issue I have is that I use Carbonite for my cloud back up and I am able to look at the pictures I have on my PC with the same folder organization I have them on my PC hard drive. This is apparently not possible for iPhoto library. The only way to access a picture on the iPhoto library in the cloud is to go through the master and hope you can find the specific picture since they are not organized in a comprehensible manner (like events or folders) in there.
So the only solution I can think of is to move the current iPhoto library to a referenced image library and use that as my default library from now on. This way I get cloud access and the events will hopefully turn into folders with dates and subjects that I can continue to keep organized to satisfy my OCD tendencies.
So the question I have is that:
1. How can I make a reference Library for Aperture/iPhoto?
2. How do I move the current library to the Referenced Library in an Organized manner? My wish list would be a series of folders labeled with the date and the subject, like I have in my iPhoto library right now.
3. If there is any alternative, your suggestions and recommendations would be much appreciated.
My computer: Mac Mini (Mid 2012), Lion, 16GB RAM.
Thank you kindly,

Or is there a way to go through aperture to make a new reference library that I can move the masters into later?
you do not move the masters into a references library - you turn your current library into a referenced library. As Terence Devlin said:
File -> Relocate Masters
What you should set up:
Select a folder, where you want to store your referenced files - probably on an external drive.
Decide on a hierarchical folder structure inside this folder - that is completely up to you.
Select a project from your library and use the command "File -> Relocate Masters/Originals" to move the original image files to the folder where you want to go them to. Only take care not to send two projects to the same folder.
Alternatively, if you do not care about the folder structure Aperture will use, select all images at once from the "Photos" view and let Aperture decide how to assing the folders - in the "Relocate Originals" dialoge you can specify a subfolder format.

My iPhoto library is entirely referenced. When I try to consolidate it to Photos the application crashes after a few seconds. How do I proceed?

My iPhoto library is entirely referenced. When I try to consolidate it into Photos the program crashes a few seconds after I choose "users" in the pull-down. As a result I cannot upload to iCloud. How should I proceed?

Referenced libraries are very problematic and I recommend against them - and having old photos is not an issue in iphoto - you can import old or new photos
In any case it is a personal choice and you have what you have and there is no easy way to change that since iPhoto has no ability to consolidate originals into its library after the fact - only on initial import (Aperture can do it and iPhoto Library manager can if you wanted to go back an change)
As to Photos I understand it is better with referenced libraries but again since eI do not use them I have not investigated this in any depth
It sounds like your Photos library is ready - check the photos count to verify that everything is there

I made an In-app purchase of WORDsearch Bible, Thompson Chain Reference Library on March 18, 2013. I tried to download the purchased item on my iPad2 but was unsuccessful even though my account with iTunes stores was debited almost immediately I completed the purchase. What can I do to retrieve or download the item I purchased?

I sympathise with you.
We are fellow users here, you must contact Apple or your credit card company to try to resolve this.
In your email invoice for the £69.99 there may be a Report a Problem link, but I've found they don't work as well as they used to.
Try:
https://expresslane.apple.com/
Did you buy anything (free or otherwise) just before your son got hold of the iPad?
I've always found that if you've entered your password to purchase or update in the last 5-10 mins that you don't get asked for it again - I think this should be optional for app store purchases but definitely for in-app purchases if they allow kids to rack up extortionate costs.
I hope Apple can do the right thing for you.
£69.99 is a ridiculous in-app purchase cost. Do you know what the app was?

Compatibility of PDF library on non-english OS?

We have a function in our acrobat plug-in to copy some data to the clipboard using native clipboard
methods like 'SetClipboardData'. Now, this copying works all find on a english OS, whereas fails on
a swedish OS.
The plug-in is referreing to datalogics 8.1 library.
We are also facing an issue when signing on an already signed PDF when opened on swedish OS.
Any ideas what might be the cause of failure? Or any comments on the compatibility of pdf library
with non-english OS would give us some pointers.

10.5.x mail server migration to 10.6 (non upgrade)

Hi all,
So I have been reading up on the various issues with upgrading 10.5.x servers to 10.6 however my question involves going from a 10.5.x server to a clean 10.6 server (non upgrade install). I generally start fresh with a new OS and migrate the data anyway however this is the first time I have experienced a switch away from cyrus (Instead of to cyrus which I have done enough now).
Has anyone done this yet? With the switch to dovecot, I am unsure how this works from a migration standpoint. Can I just use ditto to move the mail stores over and then the new dovecot server will simply recognize everything? I somehow feel like it can't be that easy with cyrus involved (though cyrus has worked well for me).
I recall seeing an imap sync tool some use here to transfer imap mail to a new / different server. Would that be the preferred method? Mailbfr hasn't been updated for 10.6 yet so I can wait for that amazing software as well but I am itching to test our mail stores and scripts, etc out on the test box.
I have a test server that is being freed up this week so I'll try myself anyway but was wondering if anyone had performed this sort of migration yet in a non upgrade fashion?

Kerio provide a free tool to do IMAP migrations to Kerio, something similar for (Snow) Leopard Server would be nice. However it might be possible to do basically the same thing via the command line using Dovecot's own routines.
See http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration
That page also refers to an open source utility called imapsync to do direct IMAP transfers, it looks like it is a Perl program and should run on a Mac (it will almost certainly need some Perl modules adding and this requires you to install XCode). Ah! I have just found another tool called Larch which is written in Ruby, this looks from reports to be more flexible and more reliable.
imapsync - http://freshmeat.net/projects/imapsync
Larch - http://github.com/rgrove/larch/tree/master
Let me know if you successfully do an IMAP->IMAP migration. If anyone manages to use Larch under Mac OS X let us know what was involved. I have done some Perl, and a bit of PHP but never touched Ruby before.
I've used imapsync in the past; it is fairly reliable, although there are definitely a few caveats that you must read the documentation to catch (for example, there is a command-line switch that, if not used, will reset the sent/received dates of ALL transferred email to the current date, and another that is used to preserve the seen/unseen status). Getting it up and running requires (or at least required, as of my last use of it back in July of this year, on a 10.5 server) installing of a few Perl modules from CPAN as well, necessitating the installation of XCode on the server; you are correct on that point. That being said, it's a pretty handy tool for doing a wide variety of migrations, as it doesn't care WHAT the source and destination mail servers are, so long as they both speak IMAP. There are, of course, minor issues if the source server is Microsoft Exchange, since Exchange's IMAP implementation is a bit ... nonstandard ... at times.

Cannot load a library unit database_object ( referenced by package name )

Dear Friends,
I am using Plls in Reports 6i. In One of the Pll I am Using
Backend Table in package body. I have two 8i instances. when I
comiple and save and close this plls with one instance( say
instance "A" ), its fine. it is done sucessfully. Now i am
connecting to other instance ( say instance "B" ) and open that
same pll. it is showing compilation error "Cannot load a library
unit <my_table> ( referenced by <package name> )". Now I compile
and save and close with instance "B". it is done sucessfully.
Again I am connecting to Instance "A" and open that same PLL. It
is showing same Error "Cannot load a library unit <my_table> (
referenced by <package name> )"
Anybody can tell me , How to get rid of this Problem. I dont
know its a BUG or somthing else.
I am using Window2000 as OS.
Thanks
Ashish Parikh

If a Schema has some objects in it, then you cannot drop that Schema until you remove all the objects out of it. You can change the schema owner
to another database principal and drop the user like,
Alter Authorization ON Schema::username TO DBO; Drop User username;
other option would be
Transfer the username schema objects to a different schema and drop username schema and user like.
Alter Schema DBO Transfer Username.[OBEJECTNAME] ;
--need to repeat this until you transfer all objects under this schema
Drop Schema username;
Drop User username;

Reference Library for Converting Between LabVIEW and XML Data (GXML)

Please provide feedback, comments and questions on the Reference Library for Converting Between LabVIEW and XML Data (GXML) in this thread.
The latest version of the NI GXML Library is availble in VIPM on the NI LabVIEW Tools Network repository.

Francesco, Thank you for the feedback. With this component it was my intention to make a more "terse" version of the LabVIEW Flatten to XML VI that was also supported on RT and that gave the user more flexbility regarding the structure of the parsing type definition. I think you are right that the XML parser is not compliant to section 2.11 of the XML spec. The parser does specifically looking for a #D#A and this appears to be an oversight on my part. Please confirm for me, the specifcation is saying that the XML parser should be able to recognize three possibilities as an "end of line" character: #D#A, #D, or #A. Am I reading this right?There are more efficient (and in some cases much more efficient) ways of sharing data between LabVIEW and LabVIEW: some examples are flattened binary strings and the datalog binary format. XML is slower than these optons but the upside is that it is human readable. Furthermore XML is inherently hierarchical which is convenient for complex data structures like clusters of arrays of clusters, etc. If you don't care about human readability then you are correct XML doesn't make as much sense.I will return to the GXML source code and try to fix this in the near future but I would hope that instead of creating yet another custom VI from scratch that you could reuse what I have provided for you. I included enough documentation in the source code so that users could make some modificiations themselves. The target application for this reference library was LabVIEW to LabVIEW communication. As such I documented the schema on the dev zone document from a LabVIEW perspective. It includes all the supported datatypes and all the supported data structures (cluters, arrays, multidimensional arrays, clusters of multidimensional arrays, etc.) I do see some value in making a more conventional XML spec but the time investment required didn't really line up with my intended use case. Were there any other downsides to GXML that I have missed? Best Regards, Jeff TippsSystems Engineer - Sound and VibrationMessage Edited by Jeff T. on 04-21-2010 10:09 AM

Jheadstart Migrating .pll library from designer

Hello..
As teh library is concerned I have the total code for my forms in the library. The library contains all the trigger code on form level, block level and item level. This library contains the code for nearly 70-80 forms and the total business of the application is present in these forms.
As the forms internally call this library will I need to add the code manually in the java environment forms or can I migrate the library along with the form migration itself.
One more thing; I have a runtime database and designer database. After migration of the database how can I attach the generated Application with the runtime database so that I will be able to get connected to the database and retrive the existing data into the newly generated forms.
Hope to hear from you in this regard.

Azher,
What JHeadstart migrates is the declarative, transactional behaviour of the blocks in the form. So basically the stuff that works without PL/SQL code. The J2EE architecture you are migrating to is very different from the Forms architecture. There are no form-, block- or item-level triggers, and what's more, there's probably code in those triggers that calls Forms built-ins that do not exist and have no replacement in the J2EE architecture we are using.
Therefore you will have to migrate any trigger/library logic that still makes sense to have in the new situation. Note that often not all code NEEDS migration, simply due to the fact that an HTML web application is a very different TYPE of application than a Forms client.
If you went overboard on 'thick-client UI features', where items and buttons are enabled/disabled/shown/hidden/coloured/filled with every action of the end user, you will either end up writing tons of javascript code, or you will give up and decide that an HTML application should not depend so heavily on this type of interaction.
For the code that you do want to migrate, the most important thing to do is to determine WHERE in the new architecture this needs to be implemented. You will have to think more in terms of 'migrating functionality' than 'migrating lines of code'.
I would recommend just trying the JHeadstart Designer Generator on a couple of Forms, running the application and determining what functionality is missing (compared to the original Form). Then you will need to think about where and how you would implement this functionality in the new architecture. Is is something that could/should be done in the ADF BC objects, or in the View pages, or in the controller, or perhaps a combination of those. Chances are that you will not even need to look at the original PL/SQL code that implemented this functionality in the Forms.
As to your question about connecting to your runtime database: the JHeadstart Designer Generator wizard will prompt you to create/specify two JDeveloper Database Connections, one to connect to the Repository, and one to connect to the runtime database. Your generated application will by default connect to the latter when running it. Of course this can be changed when deploying your application in another (production) environment.
This an much more information can be found in the JHeadstart Developers Guide, in the chapter on the Designer Generator.
Kind regards,
Peter Ebell

Moving picture files when stored via Reference Library in iPhoto

I have been managing my iPhoto files through the Reference Library since I also access these files through Picasa. I have the same files on my PC and I want to have a single store of my picture files that I share between my PC and my mac.
So, it is obvious. Create a network attached file system. So far so good.
My question is I currently have an iPhoto library. I would like to keep the info in my iPhoto library (events, etc) when I move the actual pictures. I know that they currently have an absolute reference to the actual pictures. So, how do I change the path of where the photos are stored. The file structure will be the same. However, they will now be on a network attached file system.
THanks

If the source files are on a different volume than the library, moving them will break the links and will have to be relinked one by one. It's the nature of the beast.
In some instances relinking one of the files, when iPhotos asks you to find the file, in an event will relink all of the photos in that event. But not always. You will have to relink each event individually.

I have a number od cds referring to X-rays and MRI scans which played perfectly on my old PC, but now that I've migrated to an imac none of them will open. Any suggestions? I am anything but an expert.

Hi anybody,
I have a number of cds referring to X-rays and MRI scans taken over the last few years, and I used to be able to open them on my old PC, but having recently migrated to an imac none of these will open. Any suggestions to a complete non-expert in the mac world would be greatly appreciated.
Ray in Galway

Another thought, if they're just typical image files like jpegs, or PDFs or some other universal file format. Have a friend with a windows computer copy the contents of the CDs to an external media source (flash drive, external HDD etc) and copy them to your mac.
If they were burned by the medical staff to be ran as a program then they may not be comptable with Mac OS. If this is the case see about having a friend copy the images for you.

Hi,
These functions are not present in any library. You create a utility file to store such commonly used function and make sure it is included as first script file on the form. OR you can use the library functions from codeplex

Migrate iTunes library from Windows to OSX

Hi all, just bought a new mac to replace my Windows PC and I want to get my iTunes library on it. Having a look around the net I found a few posts like this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15263517?searchText=Migrate%20iTunes%20lib rary%20from%20Windows%20to%20OSX#15263517
and
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/migrating-itunes-library-betw een-windows-and-mac-os-x/
which basically suggest just copying over the "itunes media" folder from my pc to the mac in the correct location and it should just work. As these two posts are both a bit old I thought I'd check up to see if there's a better way of doing it now or if that's still my best option.
Thanks

Here is the Apple Article

If you want to move over your playlists as well you need to copy the iTunes folder containing iTunes Media. All your library files are in their. iTunes Media is just your content files

Not enough disk space to migrate your library

When launch the new Photo app, and it attempts to migrate my iPhoto library, I receive the message:
״There is not enough disk space to migrate your library. It is estimated that you need at least 33GB of additional free space.
I have 47 GBs free on my main HDD, so I don't understand why this is an issue - anyone else seen similar?
I have a 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina display with 256GB flash drive

I found a solution to this issue, just in case anyone is interested in the future.
Essentially, despite the fact that I freed up some disk space, the amount of free HDD space in About This Mac, and Disk Utility were still showing the "old" disk space. This is a known issue in that these numbers are gathered by the Spotlight index and are NOT a realtime snapshot. Photo's clearly uses the same view of available disk space.
It will eventually resolve itself over time (indeterminable, sorry), but if you want to force the recalculation of the free space, the solution is here:

Migrate my Library to Lion?

should i have migrated my LIBRARY when i got the migration options and if so is there a way to do this?
i seem to have only migrated Applications, Applications (Paralells), Desktop and Dropbox and I am now realizing that i have data in the Music folder (my iTunes library) and in Pictures (my Aperture Library) which I am going to move to another HD along with my DOCUMENTS, however I am realizing that I did not migrate my library...
TIA for any help.

If you haven't had this done yet, here is a way if you use Time Machine.
Back up everything from your Tiger Mac onto your Time Machine.
Plug it into your new Mac running Lion, open up migration assistant, you should be able to transfer everything from the time machine.
It's actually faster then using your network, I did Lion to Lion migration (over the network) and it took longer than Tiger to Lion migration using Time Machine.
