# of photos in library (not a life-and-death question)

Does the latest version of Aperture keep track of the total number of photos in the library? If so, where is this displayed? I think the number used to be there whenever I opened the app to the window displaying all of my projects, but now I don't see it. I'm using version 3.1.2 with OS 10.6.7.
I found one reference to lost numbers in "Discussions" archives, but the question related to an earlier version of Aperture. The solution offered was to reinstall the application. If this is the only fix, can I re-install the latest version of Aperture, or do I have to go back to the original disks, then add the upgrades?
Thanks in advance

Select "Photos" from the list at the top of the Library tab of the Inspector. The total number of images shows in the middle of the bottom of the Browser frame (just as Projects View will report the total number of Projects displayed.

Hallo Kieth ,
I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
Thanks for your interest and advice.

Trying to sync photos from iTunes (via iPhoto) to ipad and iPhone. The Photo tab does not show up and no sync occurs

Trying to sync photos from iphoto to ipad and iphone. Photo tab does not show up in itunes under devices.

I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

Itunes 11 "add to library" not working (drag and drop too)

I just updated to itunes 11 and the add to library function is not working both manually and drag and drop. I used to be able to add a video to the itunes media file, click add to library, click the file and it would pull it in to itunes. None of this works including the drag and drop feature. The preferences folder is set correctly.....please help.

It appears movies added to iTunes manually (not purchased through iTunes), are automatically put in the "Home Movie" media kind/category. I don't remember this kind in previous iTunes, but maybe it's just not one I used. I've seen where this is due to using MetaX, but I don't think so as "Home Movie" is not an option in MetaX. I cannot find any option in iTunes preferences to change this. Maybe Apple will change this in an update - I hope so. For now, I just go in and manually change this in the movie Info setting. I keep all of my movies in digital format, so this is a bit of a pain.

Photos in Library not viewable in iPhoto

I've been having battery problems with my new MacBook Pro that have caused it to crash on a number of occassions. The first time that this happened, I was using iPhoto at the time. When I rebooted the computer, all of my albums had disappeared in iPhoto, although the files still exist in the iPhoto Library in Finder. When I try to open these files using iPhoto, a message appears saying that the file is unreadable, it is unable to be imported as it is already in the iPhoto Library folder (which I already knew!).
Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem? Thanks.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi ecaharrison,
It seems that a data file got corrupt on one of your crashes.
See if following the next instructions can get you back on track.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

Photos in Library not showing on Apple TV

Have recently found that new photos I have saved to iphoto that can be viewed on my Mac do not appear in my library on Apple TV. 'Recent Imports', 'events' etc. do not show them. I have tried restarting my Apple TV, switching off and switching back on Home Share but they do not appear. Have checked preferences in iphoto and correct boxes ticked but still no joy, any suggestions please.

Yes, tried that but all that happened was that my Home Sharing although shown turned on on both Apple TV and iTunes did not allow me to connect to my Library, could access You Tube so WiFi connection O.K.. Tried switching Home Sharing off and then on again on Apple TV but that didn't access my Library so had to go back into iTunes on my Mac and switch off Home Sharing and switch it back on again there which then allowed me access to my Library. This resolved the problem as photos I had just taken were now viewable ( This however has happened before so not a new problem, suspect the router but as I am changing ISP soon, going to BT Infinity, hope that will solve that problem.)

Standard library not found--cygwin and -mno-cygwin

Hi,
I have been working to get a program to compile on windows using cygwin. When I added the -mno-cygwin flag to the compile line things were moving smoothly until it hit a class that #included <list>. At this point it throws several errors about things not being declared. I have seen this same question posted on several forums (including this one) but none of them have an answer. I'm not sure if it's becuase this problem is so simple that I should know the answer, or if no one that knows has seen the question.
Below is a portion of the errors. I appreciate any help that may be offered.

Thanks for the suggestion Jim. I finally found the answer last night. As I suspected it was fairly simple, but I had a difficult time finding the solution.
The answer is here: http://www.mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml#faq-usingwithcygwin
Basically, if you're using the wrong g++ or gcc, it includes a bunch of stuff that doesn't work. I don't understand why it had the problems it had since all of the problems were from the stl's own include files but you need to change the path so that the MinGW stuff is before the Cygwin stuff. You might also find that afterwards you will have problems with "make." It looks like make 3.8.1 has some issues with ".deps" folders or something. If you do experience a problem that says "multiple targets" or something like that, you can either download make 3.8.0 or use the mingw-make in MinGW/bin.
Anyway, thanks again Jim for the help. I hope this posting will help others. There is no direct answer on the web for this. I searched long and hard.

URGENT HELP NEEDED!!! (Almost a matter of life and death)

Well, it's more of a matter of failing a course or not...
Anyway, my Java professor gave us some labs to do. I know Java front and back, at least, whatever version I learned a few years back. This is my first tenure with the Scanner object, and it's messing me up.
I'm using Eclipse for my project. I have three files in the source folder, ABC_Manufacturing.java, mseast.dat and mswest.dat. Now, when I try to instanciate a new Scanner object, it won't find the files:
Scanner east = new Scanner(new FileReader("mseast.dat"));
Scanner west = new Scanner(new File("mswest.dat"));
I'm trying two seperate ways to do this. Neither are working, this is the error I get:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
     Unhandled exception type FileNotFoundException
     Unhandled exception type FileNotFoundException
     at ABC_Manufacturing.main(ABC_Manufacturing.java:38)
Now, I added these files OVER and OVER again. I added them. I created new files and pasted the contents in there. I used .txt files. All the same error. It's like it just won't take the time out to look for the files that are RIGHT IN THE DAMN PROJECT! Then I tried using a complete path, using C:\Java\whatever. SAME ERROR!!!!
Please, I need urgent help. This is due tomorrow at noon, and I have no idea what to do at this point. I can't really continue, because at this point its just looking at what prints out and formatting it, and I don't want to do that without testing to see if my code to convert the file data into arrays work. You dig? Thanks for any and all help, and I'm going to kill my professor...she spent a week going over parallel arrays but did nothing to show us how to import files into projects or use the scanner class. Also it doesn't help that at uni we have to use emacs, which I don't use at home.

This is the the main class, so far:

          int [] westParts = new int[17];
          int [] westQuant = new int[17];
          System.out.print(west.nextInt());
And I didn't ignore that one guy (sorry, don't remember your username) I tried you and the other guy's responce. Both didn't work. I dunno how to get around errors. Figures, you don't learn that in the course but she'll spend a week on parallel arrays...Ok, well that can't possibly be complaining with the same error message you got before, so now you need to be (more) specific about what "didn't work" means.

Distiller 9 not properly installed and other questions

I'm beginning to think I may have gotten a bad installation disc.
I'm Running CS3 on a MacBook Pro, with OSX 10.5. When I got the installation disc for Acrobat 9, I followed the directions for removing Acro 8 and installed Acro 9. I came across a need to print a pdf file from MSWord, part of the Office 2004 package. Word was still trying to use the Acro 8 pdf maker. I informed Word that Acro 8 was no longer available, and went to tell it to look for Acro 9. Word then informed me that Acro 9 Distiller was not properly installed. Has anyone else experienced this? It's either an Acro 9 issue or a MS issue. I'd be curious to know which, before I get totally frustrated and remove Acro 9 in favor of Acro 8.
Has anyone else come across this message? (Wording not exact) You are about to start Acrobat 9 for the first time, do you want to continue?" Before you start replying to this one, I saw it when I launched Acro 9 for the first time, as everyone else. I saw it again the next day, and the day after, and several times since then. It doesn't show every time. It seems to happen more often when I launch Acrobat by launching a file created by a previous version of Acrobat and the file launches Acro 9. Seems like it happened with a Acro 9 created file as well. When I launch Acro9 as an application, and not as a result of double clicking a file to launch the application, I don't get the message.
Minor question: Did the "Getting Started Window" get left out of the Mac version?
thanks

Hi Mike,
I'm going through the process of trying all the ways pdf files are supposed to be created. I was going to use the PDF Maker button. Not working, I'm not one to give up, I will sometimes threaten the computer with a rocket launcher. Most of the time, the computer sees things my way and cooperates, this time is different.
I went to file > print from work and selected Acrobat 9 as the printer, then I was directed to locate Distiller. So thinking "no big deal," I went to locate Distiller 9 so that I could print pdf files using Acrobat's virtual printer, and got slammed, Distiller 9 not installed properly.
http://www.creativehwy.net/ScreenErrors/Acro9Errors.html
If you'll check the link I've posted, you can see, the Distiller is grayed out, I cannot select it in order to use Acrobat 9 as a printer from Word. I can do a file > print from Word and in the lower left, select a pdf option, create pdf or create postscript file with any of the other printers selected. While most of the time, I'll get a good conversion on the pdf file, as a prepress technician, it leaves my mind to wonder if it's going to work every time. Some of these printers that I have drivers for have hard set margins, so there is a concern that some data might get clipped when generating the pdf file this way.
Oh My! Was just looking at the screen shot, and it might open a can of worms or it might not, I wonder if Acrobat Distiller should be renamed to Adobe Acrobat Distiller...

IPhone c question!!! PLEASE HELP! I guess it's not a life or death situation but I still need help :P

So I'm getting an iPhone c for Christmas and I wanted to know buy like a cover for it. You know how it has the rubber cover can I take it off and put on it a plastic one or whatever. Please answer me!!

I read your question as if you can remove the coloured back of iphone5c and put on another one
if so then no I believe the rubber ones with colours and holes I linked to can be switchted between but I don't believe the back coloured part of iphone5c comes off

SERIOUS!!! LIFE OR DEATH QUESTION! After dragging applications to

the applications folder, can I delete the dmg file? Some people told me yes, even some installation helps, but when I do delete the dmg file, the app does not work, although I have dragged it onto the apps folder. So it's necessary to keep the dmg file or not?

Ok, I think I got it.
1. I used to drag the app icon to the app folder ONLY when the install asked me to. In case, it didn't I didn't drag to the app folder. So, what i did was...
2. To drag the app icon of all the apps I had the dmg file for still in my computer and....
3. Most of the apps now work without the dmg file, thanks, but a few like isquint and google earth DOES NOT work without the dng file even though i dragged the app icon to the app folder.
Any suggestions?

All my photo's are missing from iPhoto and I'm getting a message "your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"

Yesterday when I opened iPhoto all of my photo's were missing. After many hours of frustrating time looking how to resolve, I decided to try again this morning. When I tried to open iphoto, I got the message I referenced above regarding the library is either in use or has become unreadable.
My photos are not in iPhoto anymore. There's nothing there. iphoto acts like its never even been set up. I have iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3. I have OS X Lion version 10.7.5. However, when I go to "All My Files" and then under "images", there are over 10,000 images. I see my photos (I guess it's all of them - i have no idea how many there were) and other "images" also. When i go to "pictures" I only see the 15 or so items I have scanned. In "iPhoto Library", there is 1 picture of what looks like a deck of playing cards with flowers on them - I don't know where that came from. But also in "iPhoto Library" under the heading "desktop", it shows a size of over 27GB and under "kind" it says "package". Still under desktop and "Photo Booth Library" it shows 53GB and under "kind" it says "Photo Booth Library". Before I opened iPhoto to view my photo's, I went to "empty trash" yesterday (not in iPhoto) and it showed over 65,000 items to delete. There were no more than 200 that I could actually see. So, I don't understand. I let it delete a couple of thousand before I stopped it because I didn't know what it was doing. I know - not too smart. I don't know if that has anything to do with iPhoto or not; I'm just throwing that out there. Today I went to "empty trash" and it now shows the 200 items that I can see in there. Don't know what happened.
I do have a time capsule but not sure if I’m using it correctly. If you were to tell me to restore to a certain point, I’d have to be walked thru the process.
I downloaded “iPhoto Library Manager”, not exactly sure how to use it, but got a message basically saying the library nor the database could be loaded and that album data file for the library “iPhoto Library” could not be read.
I’ve spent hours and hours and hours searching the web for answers but I’m scared to do much of anything thinking I could end up losing all my photos if I haven’t already.
Please help!
Thank you!
James

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Server does not recognise user and password

unable to email photos. server does not recognise user and password

This is a quite interesting issue. Perhaps it may help if we start by trying to understand what caused the issue and then we will consider how you might recover from it.
One of the things that Cisco wanted to do as they released version 15.0 was to improve the security of passwords in IOS. So they designed and implemented a new "type 4" password which they intended to replace the previous "type 5" password used for enable secret or for username secret passwords. So in those versions of 15.0 if you configure enable secret or username secret for passwords the IOS would create the new type 4 password.
Then you reacted to some problem and loaded an older version of IOS. 12.2(55) does not understand the type 4 passwords. So as your switch booted on this version of code and it read lines in the startup config that had type 4 passwords it did not understand them and marked them as invalid input. So the result is that your switch does not have an enable secret and perhaps usernames do not have passwords.
I do not know if you will be able to recover without doing password recovery but I have a suggestion which you can try. See if you can login on the console. It may depend on how your switch was configured whether it will let you do that and whether it will let you get to enable mode on the console. The default behavior was to allow the console to get to enable mode without a password. If your configuration includes aaa authentication enable default enable then the console may not work and in that case I believe that your only alternative will be password recovery.

Where is the iPhoto library stored and how can I browse to it in Finder? The "Photos" option is not showing up on the left hand side.

I created an app using Automator to batch resize my photos. When I take photos with my iPhone 4s the resolution is so big I can't upload them to a web site, so I can select all the photos in an event and resize them down. It's too time consuming to open each one in Preview and resize it manually. This little app works perfectly!
Here's the only thing I'd like to change - when the app starts up it asks which photos I want to resize. I'd love it to default to the iPhoto library so I can choose the most recent event. But I can't for the life of me find it! Normally there's a choice on the left hand side that says Photos and in the automator finder window, it's not showing up. I've looked through all the folders I can think of and can't find it.
Help!

You are not using iPhoto properly and are in danger of losing your photos
iPhoto is a SQP database application and there are NO user servicable parts in the database (by default the iPhoto library) It is extremely important that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the content (or structure) of the iPhoto library
The only safe (and suppoprted) way to resize photo is to select them and export using the various esize options in teh export dialogue and use those resized photos - this is a bathc process and does not involve Preview nor does it involve seperate processing for each photo

When I first am looking at my newly uploaded photos in "Library", a box appears near the bottom of the photo that says "loading" (the photo looks good to me), then it is more "faded" and does not look as good. Is there some setting on that I am not aware

When I am first looking at my newly uploaded photos in "Library," a box appears near the bottom of the photo that says "Loading". While it is loading, I usually think the photo looks "good". After the photo is done loading, it looks more washed out. Is there some sort of setting that I might have on (or that I need to turn on) so that this does not happen. I have Lr4. Thanks.

Hi Tracy,
There used to be a way to see if poster was new to the forum.., anyway - welcome to the forum.
As I was alluding to, biggest differences in initial display are due to:
* Camera calibration profile.
* Auto-exposure/contrast settings (for which compensations have been auto-applied in camera, but not in Lightroom).
So, choose a matching camera calibration profile (whether that's an option or not depends on your camera model - they're available for many but not all models) if you prefer one of them over "Adobe Standard" (the factory default profile).
Also, your camera covers for underexposure due to non-optimal auto-exposure/contrast setting, Lightroom doesn't, so your options are:
* turn it off in camera.
* learn to compensate manually (or automatically via a plugin) in Lightroom.
Of course, in addition to preferred defaults (alt-click big "reset" button in dev module), come up with some presets which are appropriate for your druthers and type of photography.. e.g. these will compensate Nikon ADL settings:
