New user : need to organise 6000 photos

Hi, I would appreciate any help as i am new to using a iMac. I was just wondering what would be the best programme to use to organise my photos into folders? at the moment ive imported my photos to iphoto but im unsure if i can organise within this programme or is there another one i should use. Nothing to complicated just yet plz

We need to distinguish between folders on the HD which are seen in Finder and folders in iPhoto which are only seen  in iPhoto.
iPhoto is a type of program referred to as a DAM, Digital Asset Manager. The program is responsible for managing your images, they are kept within the iPhoto library are meant to be accessed only through iPhoto. The program gives you a rich set of operations for sorting and searching or images based on a number of factors.
So by using a DAM for your images you give up the ability to manipulate your images in Finder but you gain search and sort capabilities the finder can't do, at least not easily. This is of course in addition to the image manipulation tools iPhoto gives you.
The advantage of a DAM over storing your images yourself on the HD are huge. It takes a bit of getting use to at first, but once you do you'll wonder how you managed before.
There is a separate list for iPhoto questions iPhoto You would be better off if you have any questions concerning iPhoto to post there, there are a lot of very iPhoto knowledgeable people there
good luck

  • Very new user needs help setting up a three user network plus server

    Hi,
    I'm an owner/manager of a recruitment company in the UK and we use three mac minis in our office to run our recruitment software (on a filemaker database) internet, mail and MS Office 2008.
    We currently use one of the mini's as a 'server' in so much that it has a external HDD attached and shared across the network. We use Airport Extreme to share the internet.
    Although to begin with this set up has served us well the amount of data travelling across the network and the prospect of a couple of new employees starting has made me think it's time to invest in a network and server of some description.
    With my very limited knowledge i'm proposing the following but would greatly appreciate some assistance from the forum users!
    Install OSX 10.5.3 Server on one of the Mac Minis
    Get an ethernet switch and cable the three minis together
    Use the external HDD as a time machine backup and store all files on the 'server' HDD
    Continue to use the Airport Extreme to share the internet over airport.
    I have a couple of questions:
    Can the Server computer still be used as a desktop or do we need to buy a new mini
    Does this set up make the airport base station redundant
    As we grow I would envisage enlisting the help of a specialist Mac IT support company but in the mean time any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you again in advance.

    I would get something better specified than a mini to be my Mac OS X based server, and although you can run it as a desktop I wouldnt advise it.
    You ought to go out and buy the book Mac OS X Server 10.5 Essentials - The only Apple-certified book on Mac OS X Server - which Ive found to be a godsend of a book in getting Leopard Server going. Make sure you get the 10.5 version. Im in the UK and got it from Foyles in London.
    Your approach is fine, but Leopard Server isnt as plug and go as the rest of Apples products. In particular it just doesnt function correctly if you do not have working DNS before you start. Period. If you dont understand DNS in your office or If having read the book you find its too technical you might be better off buying a no-brand Network File Store/Disk or even a Time Capsule from Apple if its mainly shared disk space that you need.

  • Exporting from Numbers to Excel - New User needs help!

    Hoping someone here can help me out, as I have searched the discussions and still haven't found what I'm looking for. I'm a new Numbers 09 user, and I love it. My experiences with Excel have been nothing short of frustrating, but with Numbers I feel like a spreadsheet wizard.
    My problem is basically that I need to export my Numbers created sheets into Excel for use by clients that have not yet made the jump from PC/Excel to Mac/Numbers. This is crucial, as I just don't think I can build this sheet in Excel with the same type of success I have had with Numbers.
    My Numbers document has five tables, a custom header graphic and a legend. When I export it to Excel, each table is put on it's own sheet, including the graphic and legend. Is there anyway anyone can help me export this properly or am I doomed to have to spend days learning Excel? Any responses would be appreciated. Thank you very much!
    B

    B,
    It's a shame that you have become a Numbers user but are anchored to the Excel style of Sheet.
    Separate Tables in Numbers will always become separate Sheets in Excel. If your clients don't have to write to the Excel document, why not send them a PDF of your Numbers document?
    If you must furnish Excel documents to your clients, you're going to have to consolidate your five tables into one if you want everything to come out on one Excel sheet.

  • New user: Need help with my phone. iSync on a G3 with OSX 10.3.9

    Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum, so take it easy on me. LOL I just got a Sony Ericsson W810. I found out that I need to get iSync. Aparently iSync 2.2 is the program I need. Is this available for my version of OSX? I'm not sure if a new version of OSX is compatible with my G3. Any help? Much appreciated. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discusssion.
    iSync 1.5 is the version which shipped with and works with Mac OS X releases prior to 10.4 - iSync 2 and later packages are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or any release of the OS. With Mac OS X 10.4 and iSync 2, came a completely new synchronization technology: the Sync Services framework.

  • New User need help, can't get installation completed

    Got my new iPod, 30 gig, color, photo, etc last week. Put in disk to install software. It stopped during the middle of installation so removed disk and found it was scratched big time (I'm sure it was something I did). So, I went to website and downloaded the iPod user update 2005-11-17. Got it loaded and restored. Rebooted computer and all I get on my iPod screen is the "Do not disconnect". I uninstalled iPod software and did the installation, restored again and same thing. I have to think there is an easy solution to this, but I've read everything I can find and no answers. It would be SO nice if Apple had a customer service I could call as I'm sure I'm doing something wrong (and stupid). Anyone have any ideas? I got the iPod from frequent points with my credit card company, so can't take it back to local retailer. Please help, I want it to work so bad! LOL Thanks!

    Hi Jimmy,
    Please try the following :-
    1. Eject your iPod from your computer
    2. Press "select"+"menu" keys for reset, hold the keys until you see the Apple logo
    3. Uninstall the iPod updater and iTunes by Add/Removal software
    4. Downloand the iTune6 and iPod updater from apple.com again
    5. Install both of the softwares
    6. Open the iPod updater and wait until it asks you plug your iPod
    7. Connect your iPod
    8. Click the Restore on iPod updater

  • E1200 new user- need some expert tips

    Hi guys, I just bought a new e1200 model a few hours ago to replace my old WRT54G version 3.0 , My house is not that big less than 400 sq meters and one floor only. In my old router, when I go to my garden, the internet speed is very slow and thats when I thought that I needed a new upgrade , so I got the e1200, would have wanted a more expensive version like the e2000 + models and higher but this is the only one available here in our city.
    The current location of my router is thesame as before , its near my monitor here in the table , are there any tips to like increase it's signal ?
    This is from support:
    Yes, and for you to optimize its N-functionality, you need to set your Network Mode to N-only, Channel Width to 40MHz and the Security Mode to WPA2 Personal. But you need to be sure that all of your devices' cards are using N.
    I have tried changing the channel to 6 , changing the network mode to n, or security mode to wpa2 personal caused some problems with my brothers laptop, so i had ot switch back to wpa personal only. What else do I need to tweak here ?
    (Mod Note: Edited for guideline compliance.)

    Well you can try the following combination of steps:
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
    1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
    2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
    3] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
    For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 1, 6, 9, 11..
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
    Secondly avoid using any other wireless devices like cordless phones, microwave oven etc nearer to the router. Update the drivers for the wireless card of the wireless computer. Then check the wireless connection status.

  • Overly Excited New User Needs Advice on Windows for Mac

    As of Christmas day, I am a proud owner of a new MBP 17" beautiful piece of machinery! I'm coming from a PC so you can imagine my excitement when I opened this gift from my parents. Also, I'm 33 years old so getting a gift this amazing from your parents is pretty huge!
    Anyway, the point is I have to use a program for work that is only available for Windows and I just need some advice on whether to use Parallels or VM or just use the free boot camp. I don't want to use Windows for anything other than this program. Is there a way around having to buy the whole Windows OS? Also, is iWork any better than Office? Not sure which of those to buy either. I hate that I even have to have Windows on my new Mac! Thanks for any advice.

    Hi eightezsteps, welcome to Apple Discussions!
    What program do you need? Often PC programs have equivalents on the Mac platform, or even Mac versions that many people are not aware of. There are very few file formats that Macs cannot deal with.
    The choice of Parallels, VMWare, or Boot Camp will also depend on whether you require 3D graphics support with that application. So, we'll need to know what it is!
    is iWork any better than Office?
    I prefer it to Office now after using it for a year. However, it is different, and there is a slight learning curve to it. Once you discover the differences from Office, you'll be as productive if not moreso. You should be aware that some of the more advanced features of Office are sometimes not included in iWork though. So if you require advanced formulas and macros in Excel (for example) to be cross-platform compatible then you'll need Office. If your work is slightly less hardcore than that, you'll be just fine with iWork once you get used to it.
    I do some pretty extensive academic writing (scientific) using Pages and Numbers and I have never ran into anything it could not do for me. That includes formulae and scientific notation.

  • New user needs help with HD choices

    I just found this forum and it looks like something I am going to enjoy.  I have Premiere Pro CS 5.0 and use it to process AVCHD video.  My hardware is made up of Asus P9X79 Pro, i7 3930k, 16 GB memory, and GTX 470 vid card.  I also have an SSD as my main boot drive - it is an OCZ Revodrive.
    I would like help in setting up my hard drives for the Adobe software, so have listed my storage drives along with current usage and ATTO benchmark results:
    Drive 0 - Revodrive - ATTO = 800 - Used for Win 7 -64 Pro and Adobe software
    Drive 1 - WD Black 2TB - ATTO = 140 - Used for MTS file storage
    Drive 2 - WD Black 2TB - ATTO = 140 - Used for Scratch Files
    Drive 3 - Samsung 1TB - ATTO = 60 - Used for Finished files (Encore files and for saving MP4 files for web upload)
    Drive 4 - WD Black 1TB - ATTO = 120 - Used for backup
    Drive 5&6 - 2 each Hitachi 750GB in Raid - ATTO = 180 - Used for backup (Drives are attached to Marvel Raid port on Motherboard)
    I realize that drive #3 is the slowest drive and should probably be used for other things.  I am open to suggestions.

    Happy New Year and wecome to the forum!
    Sounds like a strong system, and it should be just fine for AVCHD video.
    Suggest:
    Boot / OS / programs - Revodrive is fine; you can also assign media cache and media cache DB (CS5 setting) to this drive
    Data drive - create a RAID 0 array from your current drives 1 and 2 - use this for projects and media, and pretty much whatever other data needs you have for your PC
    scratch / output drive - use for current matching 5 & 6 Hitachi's in RAID 0 for scratc and render outputs
    all others - use 3 & 4 for backups
    You should probably run PPBM5 and report the 4 "scores" to the PPBM5 site and also back here to get a reality check that everything is configured and working properly for your system.

  • NEw user need hepl with installation!!

    HI all i just bought a Macbook Pro. through ebay.. couple of quesitons. if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated...
    1. found out previous user did not defrag. drives. how do i clean everything out and start from scratch? if its possible.
    2. people are telling me i cant but the OSX macbook pro install kit for 17 inch monitor. at the stores is that true? if not where?
    3. is there anyhting else i should now inrgards to upgrading my syste,? if i need too?
    thanks everyone! my previous notebook was stolen, i really liked the apple layout, but everything looks so complicated...

    1. Normally there's no need to defrag because since the release of Panther OS X automatically defrags files under 20 MBs on the fly. Only if you have a large number of files bigger than 20 MBs that you frequently edit would you even need to consider defragging. Defragging is pretty much a left-over from the old days when drives were a lot slower than they are today.
    As for your second question it's not intelligible. What do you mean by an 'install kit for 17 inch monitor?' You haven't even indicated what screen size you currently have.
    If you want to learn about your computer start by reading the User Guide. If you didn't get one then you can download the PDF version from Apple's download site. Buy a copy of David Pogue's "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual" from a local bookstore or Amazon.com.
    Note that all applications including the Finder have a Help menu. Use it. There's an extensive library of online help for both Mac OS and Mac applications. Be sure you have an active internet connection.
    If you're a "switcher" visit the Switch 101 site to learn the differences between OS X and Windows.

    And specifically from those pics what does your server say you are trying to login to ?
    It is common that a Jabber Account will think the server will be the @gmail.com (Or @googlemail.com) from when you type in your Jabber ID, when it should be talk.google.com as in the pics.

  • New user needs workflow help..

    Hi,
    I have been using iMovie for years and love the product. I have done 3 documentary style films (60 - 90 minute range) using it. Call me crazy, but I did everything I needed to do in it quickly and easily.
    Upon seeing the future of imovie with its latest release, I decided that instead of getting the new imovie, which I don't like, I would take the opportunity to upgrade to Final Cut Express instead. So I am transitioning my workflow from imovie to FCE.
    Here's my current question: I have started to shoot footage for my latest film. Previously, in imovie.. I would then take all that footage and just import EVERYTHING into imovie. Since I shoot about 90 minutes of footage each week, I would just create a different imovie file, corresponding to each tape I used in the camera, so I'd have different files: week 1, week 2, etc. This allowed for ALL my footage to be in the computer in a way I could find things easily and not leave anything on the camera. Then I would edit down each week, once it was done I'd export that "sequence" and when all the sequences were done, I'd pull all the pieces into one new imovie file to do the final assembly, sound work, etc.
    So what do you all recommend for switching over to FCE? In looking through the literature, it appears FCE stores all the video elements for all projects together, rather than in my weekly individual files. TO me, that means I have one file reference over 30 hours of raw video footage and that just makes me uneasy. So... do I do what I have always done and just import everything into FCE and then edit afterwards, or do I do a "first round" of editing when I import so that I am only capturing what I think I will use? What will give me the least amount of headaches come mid-October when I start to plow through all this footage and put the film together?

    Steve,
    You can do it just about the same way in FCE, although there are some subtle differences & siginificantly greater editing capabilities in FCE.
    You will have to create an FCE project in order to capture video from your camera. However, once captured, the resulting clips (which are actually QuickTime files on your hard drive) can be used & reused in any FCE project - they are not locked to the FCE project in which you captured them.
    So, for example, you could capture each tape individually same as you always have (giving each tape a unique name - that's important). Each capture in FCE will give you a separate file on your hard drive. Then, instead of having a different iMovie file for each tape, you will have a different file (captured clip, in FCE terminology) on your hard drive for each tape.
    You can then create a new FCE project (if you want to) and import any/all of the captured clips, edit them together as you desire, and export the resulting sequence.
    In an FCE project, however, you have additional capabilities beyond iMovie to organize your clips - because in the FCE Browser you can create Bins & Folders with their own names and then import & organize your clips into them. You also have the capability to create multiple sequences in a single FCE project, so you wouldn't necessarily have to go through the extra steps & aggravation of exporting intermediate sequences only to reimport them for further editing. Nested sequences in FCE are a very powerful way of assembling a finished project from intermediate sequences & clips.
    I do suggest that you get a copy of Tom Wolsky's excellent book, Final Cut Express HD 3.5 Editing Workshop to help you get started with FCE.
