Noobie question.. linking from thumbnails and mp3 files

There are essentially 2 different things I want to do. I'm
building a website for a rock band and need help here.
1. I have a media page with image files. I'm laying out like
9 thumbnails. I'd like to set it up so that when you click on it,
it links to a separate page with the image. Pretty web standard
stuff.. I just don't know how to do it.
2. Similar thing with mp3 files. The discography page will
have a list of songs for their new album. They want to be able to
link a few of their mp3 files on it so that when you click on them,
it automatically links to a page with just the mp3 playing.
How do I go about this?

Go here -
http://www.divahtml.com - and
investigate their DivaPOP extension.

A normal hyperlink to the mp3 file will cause the system to
open the
required player, on those systems where the required player
is installed.

The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

Easiest way to find time machine files is to open up the folder or application(works for email and iphoto) they were in - then click on time machine ICON or enter time machine from the time machine menu to go back through the files.

Newbie Question: Importing (from PC) and Organizing Photos in iPhoto

Hi everyone,
I am currently a PC user and am contemplating buying an iMac, and I'm trying to determine if iPhoto will meet my needs for photo importing and organization.
I currently have around 20-30 gigs of digital photos and am using Windows Photo Gallery (for Windows Vista) to view/organize/import them.
The directories are organized by the photo date taken in the format "yyyy-mm-dd" .
Some of these directories are appended with an event name if applicable, i.e. "2011-12-25_Christmas Party" while others will only have the date, i.e. "2011-12-20"
My photos are named according to date/time taken so that a file listing will display the photos in chronologic order. Again, some of these will be appended with an event name or other descriptive label. So, many photos will look like this: "yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss" while others will look like this: "yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss_event name"
A possible complicating factor in all of this is that some of the photos were taken with a camera where the time/date was not set properly, or with cameras whose date/times were set for a different time zone. I adjusted this within Windows Photo Gallery, but I am not sure if it permanently changed the date/time in the photo file's properties... I've seen some evidence that it may not have. I did make sure that the file name was named according to the correct date/time in every case, however.
Now, here are my questions about using iPhoto:
1) When I initially import my photos into iPhoto, will iPhoto recognize (or is there a way to make it recognize) each separate directory as a separate event based on the directory in which it is found?
2) If I copy photos into iPhoto library, will it respect and preserve my directory structure wherein photos are separated by date taken? If not, then is it practical to still use iPhoto without copying the files into its library (by keeping them organized as subdirectories in a directory elsewhere and having iPhoto setup to automatically display photos in that directory)?
3) If I use iPhoto to import pictures from a digital camera, can I control how it sorts those pictures into directories by making it name the directories in yyyy-mm-dd format? This is what Windows does and I find that format very convenient for organizing and viewing photo files, especially those that I have not yet tagged.
4) Again, if I use iPhoto to import pictures from a digital camera, can I control the naming convention so that photos are named according to date&time taken (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss ), or at least according to just date taken (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd) as well as appended with event names?
5) Will I be able to edit photo properties, such as date taken, within iPhoto if I discover that a photo is incorrectly organized?
Thanks in advance,
JB

Here's the thing: You've put a lot of time developing a system of managing files. iPhoto is all about Photos. So, frankly. forget your current system and use iPhoto. it has more powerful and more varied tools for managing your snaps.
There's a conceptual leap to be made with apps like iPhoto. The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
All of your queries are about files and filenames and file storage. They're all pretty much moot if you use iPhoto. If you use iPhoto it becomes the "go-to" app for all your photos. Everything you need to do with the photos can be done via iPhoto or with iPhoto.
When I initially import my photos into iPhoto, will iPhoto recognize (or is there a way to make it recognize) each separate directory as a separate event based on the directory in which it is found?
Yes, but... Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken. You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
Albums are a much more varied and powerful organising tool.
2) If I copy photos into iPhoto library, will it respect and preserve my directory structure wherein photos are separated by date taken?
Well forget about "directories", you're talking Events, Album and Folders now. But yes, you can define Events (or Albums) based on date. However, given that iPhoto can sort on date, can search on date and date ranges and can generate Smart Albums based on date (say, All the Photos from 2010, only the photos from June 2010 or just the photos fron June 10, 2010, or even the photos from May 12 2009 to July 11 2010) how the fies are organised on the disk is of little concern. You never access them via the HD anyway.
If not, then is it practical to still use iPhoto without copying the files into its library (by keeping them organized as subdirectories in a directory elsewhere and having iPhoto setup to automatically display photos in that directory)?
Yes you can do this. It's called a Referenced Library. I don't recommend it - especially for a new Mac user - and it adds nothing except complexity to the process. It has no extra capability. It's just dumb file storage. For more on this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
3) If I use iPhoto to import pictures from a digital camera, can I control how it sorts those pictures into directories by making it name the directories in yyyy-mm-dd format?
No.
This is what Windows does and I find that format very convenient for organizing and viewing photo files, especially those that I have not yet tagged.
There are various tools in iPhoto that will allow you to find photos that you have not yet tagged or organised.
Again, if I use iPhoto to import pictures from a digital camera, can I control the naming convention so that photos are named according to date&time taken (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss ), or at least according to just date taken (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd) as well as appended with event names?
You can add titles to photos, yes. But as the date and time of the photo are already in the Exif, using those in the name of the photo is a bit redundant.
Will I be able to edit photo properties, such as date taken, within iPhoto if I discover that a photo is incorrectly organized?
Yes.
It's a bit to take in I know, and I always suggest to people that the best thing is to create a library on their Mac, import a couple of hndred pics and explore what it does (and doesn't), and see if it works for you.
iPhoto uses a lot of virtualisation. Photos are stored in the Library. (Events are just one of two possible views of the Library). Albums reference photos in the Library. So a shot can be in any number of albums and use no extra disk space. Keywording is also very powerful. Here’s a stock answer I use for folks when wondering what iPhoto can do:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.
Finally, all of this can be exported from iPhoto should you decide to migrate to a different app or different OS in a year or two.

Links from Mail and other apps don't go to open copy of Firefox but attempt to open a second copy, so I get "A copy of Firefox is already open," FF 22, OS10.8.4

Links from within Firefox windows open new tab, but links within Mail, MSWord, and other apps attempt to open another copy of Firefox, and I get the "Close Firefox: A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." This just started happening less than a week ago. I don't know when FF updated to version 22.0.

My problem seems to be fixed--I cannot reproduce it now, though it had been consistently happening for the past 3-4 days. The suggestions above do not seem to apply in any case: I do not want to open another instance of Firefox but simply to connect with the one that is already running; and I do not seem to have a .parentlock file.
If the problem returns, I'll be back. Meanwhile, thanks for the suggestions.

IWeb link to folder and enclosed files

I have several student projects that they published to a folder using iWeb, and saved to folders using other HTML editors(BBEdit, NVu). These are now on my local drive. What I want to do is to make a link from my iWeb page to their work. I need to know what directory to upload these folders to, and then what the link would be. I've tried several .Mac folders, but nothing seems to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
http://web.mac.com/penobscotriver/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

More explanations:
If the folder were made by "publishing" from iWeb the "root" (upper level) also includes an index.html file.
That index.html is merely a page refresh to the "real" .html file and that page loads it. If you open it with a plain text editor you'll see the simple code.
You appear to be a teacher (instructor) so I'm sure you remember the "index card" trick for organizing.
In the "old days" we would pin index cards onto a board and then connect them with different color strings so we had a visual of the structure. When you moved a card you also needed to detach the string and then re-attach it.
Properly organized the "folders" would reside in your iDisk Sites folder and the "links" (the string) would attach to a page (or pages) stored in the iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/foldername
You can then use some simple URL's (posted above) to aid in navigation.
Did you know that you can "drag" a URL from a browser window address bar into iWeb?
Takes work and patience. Trial and error. And these Discussions for help.

AAC files and MP3 Files

I would like to know if there is an easier way to seperate my AAC file and My MP3 files. When I convert my AAC files to MP3s Itunes puts them in the same folder. So when I go to my Itunes music folder both MP3 and AAC are in the same folder. I was wondering if there was a way I could send my MP3 files to an external hard drive after I convert them from AACs. My hard drive on my computer won't hold all of them so I would have to do it in stages. I wish I could make them go to the external hard drive as soon as they are converted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I thought about moving the whole folder to the external hard drive, but I would still have to seperate them. thanks

bwchas,
- Do whatever conversions you wish. Make sure you understand the potential quality loss issue mentioned by Co-Jeff.
- In your iTunes library, sort by "Kind." If Kind is not showing, go to View > Options and make sure it is checked (ticked).
- You will now see all the AACs together and all the mp3s together. Chose the ones you want to copy and highlight them. Then do Edit > Copy.
- Go to the folder in your hard drive and right-click and "Paste."
- Anything you don't still want on your main hard drive, delete it.
I assume you are talking about unprotected AAC files. If not, step 1 will not work.

How do I extract album art from an existing MP3 file?

I have a folder of MP3s that all came from a rare out-of-print album. The album is so rare, I can't find an image of it anywhere on Google in any countries. I lost the cover artwork for the album, but it's embedded in the MP3 file because it pops up when I play the song or in the preview window. Fine good-resolution picture, too.
How do I extract the image so I have a separate image file again?
...hopefully without buying new software to do it?
I've got iTunes v.10

I've got iTunes v.10
PowerBook G4 running 10.4.10
You might want to update your information since 10.4 can't run iTunes 10.

Troubleshooting problems with printing PDF's from Revit and Cad files

I am unable to print a readable pdf from AutoCad and Revit. Any Suggestions? I do not have problems with Microsoft or Adobe products..Just AutoCad. I have already spoken with my AutoCad dealer and they concluded it was an Adobe issue.

How was the PDF file created? With the Adobe plug-in to AutoCAD?
If you can provide some samples, we could look at the files and determine the problem. And FWIW, I doubt that your AutoCAD dealer has the competence to conclude where the problem is with a PDF file.

File Adapter - Reading 2 files from sender and one file to receiver

All - I am looking for a best solution for reading two files from sender and generating one file to the receiver.
Here is the scenario
Sender file s - A is a master file. B is a detail file; B will have a one to many records for each record of File A.. that is the relation ship between 2 files.. I am looking for a better solution to
Example
Input:
File A will have a record like "summary1 ABC 1234"
File B will have a record like "Detailfor Summary1 CDF 8679"
Output:
File C shall have a record "consolidatedofSummary&Detail ABC 1234 8679"
1) read records of master row and detail row from these 2 files
2) do the mapping to the receiver output format which it is creating for records with some harcoded values and based on the values from master and detail rows of sender file
if I can accomblish reading sender files and do the mapping to the receiver , assume that mapping to the receiver format would not be cumbersome.
please help me...
Thanks

Hi Gopal,
Ur approach to the interface is perfect.... Go ahead.
For selecting multiple files in source use Advanced Selection for files.. and specify the directory paths and also the file name shema...
This will fetch the 2 files into the integration engine... then u map the 2 source files to one target file(2:1 mapping).
Specify accordingly the receiver side FCC and test it end to end...
If u face any prblm post here... some1 will help u out..

Links from facebook and elsewhere are not opening, probably because of some setting issues, how can I rectify?

I tried the same links from google chrome and they are working fine but when i try them on mozilla firefox, the new tab that opens says "page cannot be found". These links are usually to other sites such as goal.com and alike. Sometimes, surprisingly and confusingly, when I reload the page starts to work or when I reopen it but usually it doesn't. I am quite happy with life using Mozilla. Please fix this bug or setting disorder.

Linking adjacent JPG and CR2 files

Most of my folders treat adjacent JPG and CR2 as one file when viewing in Lightroom. However, I have one folder that for some reason treats them as two photos—they are not linked together. How can I fix the photos in that folder so the adjacent JPG and Raw files can be viewed as a single photo?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks. I tried that with stacks at 1 second and then collapsed stacks and it worked well. However, what shows up now is the JPG. How can I have the Raw CR2 show up on top of each stack?

Can I burn .m4a and .mp3 file on the same CD?

I downloaded a few podcasts and have one in .m4a format, the other in .mp3.
Can both be burned onto the same CD via iTunes -- or do I need to convert?
And if so, what format should both podcasts be in?
Thanks.

Can both be burned onto the same CD via iTunes
Yes.
And if so, what format should both podcasts be in?
If you want an audio CD, just put all files into a playlist and click *Burn CD* then select Audio CD. iTunes will convert them to CD audio.
Selecting Data CD/DVD in iTunes will burn the files as they are. They can be MP3, AAC, AIFF or whatever and will be burned in that format (useful for backing up files)
If you select MP3 CD (this is the format of the files on the CD), the files must already be in MP3 format.
This is the same as a Data CD/DVD except iTunes will use only MP3 files (because many players can play MP3 files).
