Mystery: How can RAW file spontaneously change to jpg file?

Although I have been using iPhoto 6 for some time I just noticed for the first time something strange when I dragged a NEF file (RAW Nikon file) from iPhoto and dropped it onto my desktop. What happened was that the NEF file suddenly transformed itself into a jpg file when I dropped it onto the desktop. Weird! I could hardly believe my eyes.
Later I noticed that the same thing happened when I dragged a NEF file from iPhoto and dropped it onto a Dock icon for Photomatix, a program for generating HDR images. The file opened up in Photomatix but it opened as a jpg file rather than as a NEF file. Holy Toledo!
What in the world is going on here? I hope that one of you iPhoto experts can tell me how NEF files can magically morph themselves into jpg files. I also need some expert advice on how to deal with this phenomenon.
By the way, I have converted many NEF files in the Adobe Camera RAW plug-in of Photoshop Elements, but to the best of my knowledge they have never changed identity from NEF files to jpg files when I handed them off from iPhoto to Photoshop Elements. In fact, in iPhoto Preferences/Advanced I have checked the "Use RAW files with external editor" box.

No mystery whatever,
When you import a RAW file into iPhoto it automatically creates a JPEG preview of the file. That’s what you happen to be looking at in the iPhoto Window. Drag it out and you always get the current version of the file. Want to get the Original - select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and select the Original in the dialogue and you’ll get your NEF.
This is all covered in the Help. Now what help do you need to “deal with this phenomenon.“?

How did you save them to iPhoto? Because you change the format from NEF to JPG then you must save them to the desktop and then import the JPEG to iPhoto.

How can I selectively preview changes in Camera Raw CC

When working in the Basic Panel in ACR, I would like to selectively review changes of only one slider at a time. For instance, I have have adjusted exposure and now have also adjusted blacks, how can I preview the change in Blacks while the adjusted Exposure is still in effect? If I toggle the Preview button on and off, I see all the changes cumulatively. I have tried using the command key, shift, key and option key however, that doesn't seem to work.
Thanks.

Sorry, there is another way, which I'd forgotten about, because I almost never use it.
Say you make these edits, and only these edits: Exposure -1.0 stop, Contrast +20 and Shadows +100, in that order (the values don't matter, they're just random examples).
Now, to cycle back through the edits in reverse order to that which you made them, use Ctrl + Alt/Option + Z.
Pressing once gets you back to the image as edited only by Exp and Contrast. Twice gets to Exp only.
Three times eliminates Exp and you're back to where you first opened the image in ACR.
To re-instate the edits in the original order, press Ctrl + Shift + Z.
But this procedure can get messy and confusing in 3 circumstances that I can think of, just off the top of my head.
First, if you move a slider whilst experimenting with your edits (say, for example, Clarity +20) but then reset it to zero because it does not work as expected.
Now, when you cycle backwards or forward, your abandoned Clarity edit will be shown.
Secondly, if you make more than 3 edits, it can become difficult to remember in what order you initially made them and you can get lost when cycling back and forth.
Thirdly, if you have made any presets and these are applied automatically when first opening the image in ACR, the cycling can once again become more difficult to keep track of.
Whilst the use of Snapshots in the manner I first suggested is more cumbersome, it guarantees that you can keep track of your edits and compare their before and after effect.

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)? I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

If you add a new slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data), to an existing presentation then save, Keynote will only save the new content to the file, it wont save pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
The time taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

How can I file share with another person if both of us are using Mac operating systems? Do we need to use a third party file sharing system or does apple have this capability?

How can I file share with another personif both of us are using Mac operating systems (one of us using a Mac laptop and the other using iMac). Our intention is to have a working document that can be changed by both parties over time and both parties will have visibility to the others changes.

We had to change the feed adress and the epsiode adresses. Now all the episodes of my podcast are downloaded (although i have downloaded them already). How can I make the changes in my feed and avoid that all the episodes are reloaded?

Hello,
We had to change the feed adress (<itunes:new-feed-url>)and the epsiode adresses in the feed because the feed and the episode-files are on a new server. Now when i open my iTunes subscription of our podcast all the episodes of my podcast are downloaded again (although i have downloaded them already).
My Question therefore is: How can I make the changes in my feed and avoid that all the episodes are reloaded?
Maybe have an answer?
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your answer
As I see now, our 'guid' tags contain the episode URLs
To avoid this problem in the future i would like to change guid tags. Can you please tell me how a guid tag should look like if it is not the URL?
Thank you for helping us!
ps now it looks like this eg:
<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.castyourart.com/podcasts/213_thinkglobal_en.mp4</guid>

How can I display a changing variable in a subvi on the front panel of the main vi as the subvi is excuting

In the document attached the vi on the right is sub to the vi on the left. On the subvi on the right the variable "Field Reading" is continuously updated on the front panel of the subvi as the "for" loop is executed, but only the last value of the variable is updated on the main vi front panel which is what is expected. My question is how can I display the changing value of "Field Reading" on the main vi front panel as the "for" loop in the subvi is running?
Thank you.
Solved!

Hopefully I can explain it well enough. It really is simple.
1) Create an empty global variable and call it something like User Interface References.vi
2) For each and every control and indicator on your front panel, right-click and select Create/Reference
3) Place these references wherever you like (I use a series of Event cases to perform my initialisation and these all live in one of these event cases). They can be placed anywhere in the main vi.
4) For each of the references, right-click and select Create/Indicator
5) Moving to the front panel, Cut all the indicators and Paste them in the global variable (eg. User Interface References.vi)
6) Moving back to the block diagram, wire the global variable to each of the references and select the same named global variable.
All the hard work is now done (until you add another user interface terminal). You should now have something that look as shown below, [except the reference labels would be to the left (not sure why the snippet put them above)]. In my latest program I have 82 references!
Done. You can now access all your front panel controls and indicators anywhere in your program as shown below.
You can just select Value in most cases, but in this particular case I wanted to fire off an Event to do some things (log the alarm) as well as just update the value. So, this is another bonus with the method.
Hopefully this all makes sense. If not, let me know.

Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

Control-k key binding broken. How can I check and change my key bindings?

I use the Terminal app a lot. Unfortunately I am not able to use the control-k shortcut to cut lines in the terminal anymore. How can I check (and change) the Terminal key bindings?
Thank you!

Basing on your input, you should get the following values:
1) session keys
SK_ENC: 6DCE2A99BACB5207A7A96A92F114D66C
SK_MAC: 0D446132B168F75CD6F0A780693A4DD3
SK_DEK: 19F7B0F94837F32874B29B5EFB7809F6
2) host cryptogram
1B781553209748EA
3) Retail MAC
01761103B810F00E
Summing up, the External Authenticate command should have the following value: 84 82 01 00 10 1B781553209748EA 01761103B810F00E.
Try to compare it with your results.

I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it. How can I stop or change this?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

HOW CAN I GET MY CHANGE IN PROCESSING(got it)?

Hi all....
   please understand my requiement and get back with your valueble answers...
iam having one table control in one of my screen....
in that....table control it contains three fields.... so as we know three columns...
middle column is for second field...
here i am changing first entry ( 1st row of second column) manually... and clicking one push button of my screen to do some caluclation part combine with table control entries...
ex: table controls looks like.....(before)
     1   100 ab
     2   200 gh
     3   300 vf
     4   400 fh
     .. .... ...... etc
now manual i changed above like....(after)
     1   150 ab       <------ only change
     2   200 gh
     3   300 vf
     4   400 fh
     .. .... ...... etc
So... here my problem is iam getting my caluculation part with that field as 100 only.... not as 150,
even i debug this variable with defferent conditions like......
   READ TABLE ITAB WHERE ITAB-F1 = 1.
SO HOW CAN I GET MY CHANGE IN PROCESSING? WHERE I HAV TO MODIFY MY PROGRAM?
(edited: prevoius ly this value is capturing correctly...because that calculation part is in the module which is added between chain and endchain)
Expect Max marks,
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi,
I think f2 is a key field in table.So 150 considered as new entry.this case you have to keep 100 for delete from table then add 150 entry.i think you are getting update in itab.But not in table.If you are not getting itab, post your code to check

How can I check and change the size of photo or doc in iPhone or any other app

You would need software form a third party to have this option. The free software that comes with the 8600 doesn't have an option for that. Vuescan is the only software I could find that says it works with your pritner and has a descreen option. You have to purchase it, but it will give you more advanced options than the software that came with the printer.

How can I import a change request to a system which is not in the domain

how can I import a change request into a system which is not part of the transport domain?

Hi,
You can transport any requests to any systems even though they are not in the transport domain.
1) Move the corresponding data & cofiles( in /usr/sap/trans/data & /usr/sap/trans/cofiles directories) to the same location in the target system.
2)Add the request to the queue from STMS ->Import Queue ->Extras ->Other Requests - >Add.
3)The execute the transport as usual.

I back up my iphone onto itunes on my laptop. I've now got a new laptop, which counts at two locations. This new laptop had to be setup again. Apple says this is three locations. How can I get it changed to two locations?

I backup my iphone onto itunes on my laptop. Recently I got a new laptop, so that counts at two itunes locations.
Unfortunately this new laptop was faulty and had to be set up again from scratch.
Apple now says that's three itunes locations when in fact it's two.
How can I get this changed back to two locations?

If by locations you mean "authorized computers" then one of your computers (apparently the new laptop) may be using multiple authorizations.
