New Aperture user trying to add keywords

I'm getting really frustrated. I've been a long time iPhoto user, but my husband bought me Aperture and I'm trying to move to it. . . .anyway, I'm trying to add keywords to some of my pictures (I miss my "hot keys"). I have the Keyword Controls open on the bottom of the split view window and I've set up a variety of keyword preset lists. . . Anyway, the problem that I am having is when I select multiple images to apply a keyword to, it is only applying the keyword to the "primary" (meaning the boldly outlined in white) image - even though the other images as selected (outlined in a less bold white boarder) the keywords are not assigned to them. It's like I have to add the keywords to each image one at a time. I've looked at a bunch of the material online and it's clear to me that you are SUPPOSED to be able to add keywords to multiple images at a time. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Casey,
The only thing I can think of is, do you have the 'Primary Only' button selected? When that is selected, you can select multiple photos, but you can only edit whichever photo is your main selection (the one with the bold white around it)
Try making sure that 'Primary Only' button is NOT selected, and then dragging a keyword onto all of the photos. By the way, the primary only button is in the bottom right hand corner of the aperture window. It is a square with the number '1' in it.
Hope that helps!

I have just bought a new macbook and trying to add all my music to my new itunes from a previous version of itunes (iTunes 9) in my seven year old Mac. I can import all the MP3 songs but iTunes ignores all the m4a format files. What to do? I have copied them into the music file along with the mp3 files but they still dont open in iTunes.

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

Signature error when user tried to add new database via configuration.

We just moved domain. No changes to database, operating system. As admin I can get in fine with the new domain, but not the user. He tried to create a new database in the configuration dialogue box and got debug error. When you click on next he get a signature error. Any ideas?

I used the information to narrow down what was wrong. You were right about the user. The old user was not working, but after I created a new user that I (admin) was able to logon and see the database, the user still unable to add a new database connection. I went back to the old dbxconnections file and just made edit to the file and put it back into operation and the user was able to see their data again.

Questions from a new Aperture user

Two questions:
When I imported my old photos, I gave them the version name "Old Photos". Now any project I create, the photos I add to it also are automatically given the version name "Old Photos". While I can change this on a photo by photo basis (who would want to), I can't see to find where to change it on a global basis.
I have found the Sepia toner HUD and it works nicely, however, I can't seem to tone a monochrome any other colour. All colour modifications affect only the ratio of colours that make up the monochrome image and don't tone it. Any way to do this?
Peter

Thanks Ian, I had seen and tried the Color Monochrome but I hadn't noticed the colour adjustment pane. It was set to Sepia so that is what I thougt I was stuck with. Works like a charm.
You're correct, I did set "Old Photos" version name during the import. I've now set it to "Master File Name" which I assume will allow the camera generated name to show s the master image name.

Brand New Apple User trying to import video files from FreeAgent External..

hard drive. Previous Dell owner and now I have converted. I have files saved to my FA Drive in a .MOD version and cannot play them on my Apple. What do I have to do to accomplish this? I have a JVC Everio HD camcorder.
Any help for a newbie would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
.mod are a JVC custom version of MPEG2 files. You should be able to play them in VLC. I would guess that your goal is actually to get them imported in such a format that they can be used in iMovie projects etc. It appears from this Apple article that many of the Everio models are compatible with iMovie 08 (you are out of luck if you wish to use the superior iMovie HD 6). I would simply suggest connecting the FreeAgent drive, load iMovie 08 and point it at the files.
If you don't get anywhere I'd suggest posting in the iMovie forums as the chaps with real experience of video handling hang out there.
BTW this forum is for the much older iMac (Flat Panel) models; as a new user I expect you have an Intel iMac.

New FCP user trying to learn the correct project and export settings for HD

Hi, I am a novice and have used FCP on my laptop for university projects only, and now have been asked to cut a trailer for a 7 min HD Pilot.
A. I had to work in a different part of the country for the last 2 weeks therefore making this more problematic for myself long term hence:
B. I have only been given a QT file of the pilot, as to cut a rough idea of the trailer, which I will then have to redo with the original HD files, when I return to them tomorrow.
C. I created a low res QT to work with in FCP and have probably set up my project in a odd/wrong way and need to export this DV low res version for viewing by tomorrow, and I would ideally like it to look like the right aspect ratio and what not.
I know very little about ratios and interlaced and progressive files, and this project has been shot manly on a digital SLR camera for the animation, it has After Effects files and with sections of live action which I think was shot in HD 'i' mode.
I would like to learn quickly the sort of setup I should have for this kind of project, how I should export this low res DV version for viewing and for exporting the final HD project with what settings I should use.
I am sure I should have detailed more information, but as it is im not sure what is relevant. I can find out if im pointed in the right direction.
Hope someone can help
Cheers
Kat

B. I have only been given a QT file of the pilot, as to cut a rough idea of the trailer, which I will then have to redo with the original HD files, when I return to them tomorrow.
Well, this will make cutting more difficult. Because a low res version of the trailer will not have any timecode...nothing that references the main movie. So you will do the cut with the QT movie and then have to go back and eyematch-cut the trailer with the high res footage. Not fun and very time consuming. Not to mention that you will be cutting with the mixed audio of the trailer, including music and that will not sound right when you cut the trailer with the new music.
You need a QT version of the movie that contains the timecode of the original master (using media Manager to recompress to DV or other offline codec will do this), and you REALLY need to get split track audio. If they are record producers, they'll know what that is.

New Mac user trying to connect my IPOD mini

I'm a novice Mac user, so this may be a dumb question. I had a PC and that is what I used my IPOD mini with. My hard drive crashed taking my ITunes library with it. I have it all on my mini and was told a way to upload back into my hard drive. But, when I connect my IPOD to the Mac it says it doesn't recognize non-Mac versions. Does anyone know if there is still a way to make this work?
Thanks!

iPodRip, a 3rd party app can do this for you. You can download it from versiontracker.com.

Yet another Fios user trying to add a WRT54G as an access point

Hello all - I've read through the forum and I think I know what I need to do, but want to confirm before I start jacking up a working network.
Current state -
1. Fios (Mi424 WR Rev D) wireless modem / router / gateway is up and running
2. If I recall correctly, I set it up with static IP addresses so my wireless enabled printer is always on the same IP and my Linksys Nas200 is too (easier to reconnect both to my work laptop)
3. Fios router is in downstairs closet in corner of house - kids now want to connect laptop upstairs and signal is not so good
4. Dad wants to use trusty semi-retired Linksys WRT54G (ver 1.1) as an access point for upstairs but doesn't really want to mess with firmware and doesn't want to run a cat5 cable between the two routers.
Is this the right way to do it? - (link to Linksys knowledge base answer ID 3733 -----> LINK )
I have read through this 3 times, but don't understand it very well. I'm an IT guy by trade, but obviously not a network admin.... Any help is much appreciated!
thanks,
Matt

Thanks for this. Sad to hear but not shocking.
Is there any way to make these signals seemless to the end users? i.e. the same SSID so that it just a user just gets one signal and automagically hits the strongest one? I'm assuming using the same SSID, channel, key, etc. would do it.
thanks.

Hi all.
Ive never bought anything from apple untill the 160 gb ipod classic. Ive been using itunes but now with the iPod I was looking a bit how things work.

Printing help for new MAC user

I am a new MAC user trying convince myself this is better than a PC. I have been trying to 3 hours to figure out how to print in color with a document I've created in Pages. I am connected to a HP Photosmart wireless printer. Can someone help me?

Hi jersey,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '09 forum.
Is this strictly a Pages/HP Photosmart issue, or do other applications share this inability to print in colour to this printer?
About the only advice I can offer is to:
1.
Check the HP site for any updated drivers for your printer. Download and install if any are found.
2.
Check the printer's settings in the Print dialogue. Your printer may offer the choice, here or in it's utility application, to print using only the black toner cartridge.
3.
Try opening Pages from a different user account, and printing a new document from there. Success would indicate the issue lies in your user account, probably in a corrupted Pages preference (.plist) file.Go back to your usual account, locate the file and drag it to the trash. Try printing again from your usual account.
If these don't help, I'd suggest reposting your question in the Printing, Faxing and Scanning forum in the Mac OS X v10.6 (Snow Leopard) section of Discussions.
Regards,
Barry

How come Leopard let me use the WGM in standard mode?
While SA complains that it won't work in Standard Configuration, WGM does not. There is some fault in the logic of this for which I don't have an explanation.
If I want to get control on Dock, selection of Home folder, config of Proxy... which I think are basic things, do I really need the advanced mode?
If you wish to have complete control of all client settings, yes. There really is no disadvantage of using an Advanced configuration other than the learning curve.
So if I switch to advanced mode, there is good chance I won't get this error message anymore, right?
Yes.

I just made the switch to mac. I am have installed all the new PS6 CC and bridge and I am now trying to add some presets to my ACR but when I search for the folder to place them it is not there. From what I researched it says it should be under camera library/application support/adobe/camera raw/settings but I can only get to library/application support/adobe/ and then there are two different camera raw options I have checked both and there are not settings folder. If anyone can help me please thanks

Apple most likely has the same poor taste that Microsoft does when it come to defaults. Microsoft likes to hide things like settings, preset, folders etc from normal users think the dumb or something else. If Apple also hide things you will have to make some system setting changes that will allow Finder to do it job and find it for you.
