Oh crap, did I just make my life a lot harder?

Dear All,
I was moving photo's from one small external drive to larger external drive using the Finder on my i-mac. Afte they came over I thought I'd do the right thing and rename my folders so they'd be more descriptive. The I start lightroom 2.6 and after I selected a Photo the prompt came up saying "missing Photo", would you like to relink it? I did, so I relinked it and that photo was fine.........then of course I wanted to relink all 1200 photo's..not one at a time, but the 7 different folders that I just renamed...I now understand that I cant relink my folders with all those photo's because I've renamed the folders...aaauuuggghhh......really...do I have any options that would not make me do them all individually?
Wow...any help would be REALLY appreciated

You should be able to select the new folder name then chose Find Missing Folder from context menu. The linked tutorial provides more details http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

  • Why did Apple just make organising WORSE!? Go back to the old layout! but change colours maybe APPLE!

    Ok this afternoon i updated my computer, it looked fine didn't seem like much of a problem, but when i finally decided to sync my photos and organise my photos in iPhoto it was so bad! I could not tell where everything is and now it is HARDER! to move my photos around! APPLE SHOULD HAVE KEPT THE OLD LAYOUT! I mean seriously, if you wanted change, change the colours maybe! not the entire layout! i want my organising easy, but apple now you have disappointed me!
    Sincerly,
    An Unhappy customer!
    My words may not mean much, or may not be seen but they really need to be because i am sure i am not the only one with this issue.

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html
    Is the place for feedback and feature requests.
    But I would say that simply telling them that it got more difficult is pointless. You have to tell them how it is more difficult.

  • How or where can I find the Outlook mail that is located in the folder on my desktop?   I can open it but when I double click, it just makes up an email to be sent with the attachment.

    Apple moved my Outlook from my PC over to the MAC and it is now on my desktop but I cannot open it.  I click on the folder and when opened it has two folders, one for each of my email accounts and when I click on the one I want, it just makes a new email to be sent.  I even dragged it to the download folder and that did not good.
    It will also ask me to use another program to open it.  I click on Mail and again it makes another email.  HELP!!!  I have tons of emails that I need to keep tract of my work.  Any help would be wonderful.
    Thanks,

    I have created a form in DW 5.0 using spry text fields. I am wondering what I did wrong to make the form fields show text?
    Thank you.

    Thanks again. There's one other thing I wanted to achieve here. I need the date format to be displayed like "dd/mm/yyyy" and not like it's doing by default at the moment (i.e. mm/dd/yyyy)
    I don't have any knowledge of jQuery but had a go anyway at trying to fix this using this link http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/ as aid to try adjust my code. Obviously I couldn't get it to work so far...  So I'm looking for a little bit of help from anyone who knows a bit of jQuery.
    Here's the original default code (just the stuff that goes in the 'head' of the page):
    <script>
      $(function() {
          $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
    </script>
    And here's what I tried adding to make it work:
    <script>
      $(function() {
          $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
          $.datepicker.formatDate( "dd/mm/yyyy" );
    </script>
    Obviously I tried other combinations including .parseDate instead of .formatDate etc etc none of which worked.
    I'm wondering whether the extra code should perhaps go inside where the XXs are - $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker(XX)
    Anyway, if somebody could help me out that would be great. Cheers!

  • Did macromedia just get crappier with Flash MX 2004?

    Did Flash just get cr*ppier? What the h*ll is going on?? Now
    that we export our swf, we have to make sure that we f'in mask out
    the working area? What genius came up with that bulls**t?? Also,
    when we put actions on buttons we have to go thru a lot more sh*t
    with typing up all the scripts?? not to mention they are a hell of
    lot more bugs!!! c'mon Macromedia, some of us have time constraint
    with real deadllnes, so why all the innefficiencies and added
    frustrations?? You guys are suppose to make it better with each
    version, not f*cking make it sh*ttier..get your head outta your
    a$$es. FLASH MX 2004 IS A F'in RIP-OFF!!

    "just" get crappier is a bit of an outdated statement - MX
    2004 is flash version 7 and the currect
    version is Flash 8 - MX 2004 came out well over a year ago.
    You don't and never have had to "mask" out the work area - I
    have no idea what you are referring to
    - can you explain in detail what is or is not happening?
    Yes they removed normal mode from the AS panel but brought it
    back in flash 8 as "Script Assist"
    which is even better.
    You refer to "Macromedia" which is no longer (again, dating
    yourself
    ) Adobe bought MM so I think
    you may have just emrged from the technology cave so to speak

  • Help--did I just give up my grandfathered unlimited data plan?

    Hello all,
    I just bought an iphone 4s--upgraded from a Droid smartphone. On my old bill my data plan is "email & web unlimited" for $29.99. Did I made a mistake when ordering the new phone--I clicked on the 2G plan and that is what is shown in my order. Did I just give up my grandfathered plan? I really don't understand all this stuff. Could someone help me understand if that "email & web unlimited" was the grandfathered unlimited data plan I keep seeing discussed on this forum? Does that allow me to upload pictures, stream radio/movies, etc.? Or do I really need one of the tiered plans like the 2G? I will try to revise my order through customer service if need be. Thank you so much.

    No, this is not the grandfathered unlimited plan. As soon as you activate your phone, you should call Verizon and have your unlimited plan reinstated. The 2GB plan shouldn't take effect until you activate your new phone, but you could just check to make sure. Once the 2GB plan takes effect, you should have 14 days to have the unlimited plan reinstated, or you will lose it for good.

    Don't take your laptop back. Find out the number for Apple Care in your part of the world and call them. Tell your story to them. If the person on the phone can't help you, ask for their supervisor. Keep asking for supervisors until you get exactly what you want to get. If that mean you want to get the problem fixed without having the computer gone for four weeks, then keep asking for supervisors till you get someone who can do that for you.
    Be prepared to be on the phone for a while, so arrange a speaker phone, water to hand etc. Be patient.
    As for "crappy computers"--my MBA has worked flawlessly since the day I got it. As good if not better than any Apple laptop I've ever had, and I've had several.This is the thing though, there is a percentage of failure rate that occurs in electronics. It occurs whether we're talking about televison sets or toasters. If it's electric, it has that failure rate. Now sometimes a thing will be bad and in that case the word gets out and everyone knows that particular electronic has surpassed the normal failure percentage. The Airs, however, have not done that. Their reputation, so far, has been incredibly solid and good. So you can assume that you, unfortunately, got one out of that small percentage of electronics that have an issue.
    Laptops, let us remember, are doing a lot in a very small area. A lot can go wrong, and it's pretty amazing how many don't, especially given how many are made and sold. Sometimes we get the bad apple in the barrel, it doesn' t mean that the company making it has gone down hill. We hope the manager of the store, or the company, or someone will do right by us. If they don't, then we need to make sure they do. Keep asking for upper management till you get what you want.

  • Is there any way to just make my iMac go back to factory specs?

    is there any way to just make my iMac go back to factory specs after erasing everything and trying to reinstall many times with no luck? not too sure what i did but installer "cant copy necesary files" dont know anything about computers.
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    You can also reset the OS without using the install disk.
    I found a youtube tutorial that had a wonderful step by step process for resetting to factory specs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0RQT9UiwkQ
    I did a clean install - I did not have any paperwork or info for the computer because it was given to me after my FIL died.  I used my own apple ID not my FIL's.
    There was no difficulty at any point.
    I set up my Mac next to my PC and ran the tutorial on the PC while I worked on the reset.  Make sure you have all day because it's very time consuming. 
    I am a slightly technical person, but no computer whiz - so don't be afraid to tackle this on your own.
    After I reset to factory default, I upgraded to Mountain Lion for $20.  That was also simple to do.
    I did not back up any files since there wasn't anything on the computer I wanted to keep.  You will have to back up any files you wish to keep because this clean install will be just that - very clean - nothing was left except the OS.

  • Did firefox just have an update?

    It's 12 am and I usually wake up around this time for some odd reason. So, I get on my laptop, and I see that I forgot to close a popup that was produced when I was looking at lyrics to a song. After I closed it out, I saw another window that said something like "firefox needs to update". So, without thinking, I clicked it. Did I just mess up really bad, or did I NOT just make a huge mistake?

    The Firefox 33.0.1 was released as a updated on October 24.

  • Why did 6.1update make iPad nearly useless?

    6.1 update not only screwed my phone, it put all kinds bugs into the iPad apps that weren't there before the update. The battery drain is now significant. Screwed the iPad as well as the phone. Apple, when you lost your leader, you lost your brain.

    Do you have a question or did you just want to make a comment? Did you try anything to resolve any of the issues that you are having with the device?

  • I'm a school tech coordinator. Many computers and many iPads. How many Apple IDs can I have per device, and how many devices can have the same Apple ID? To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

    I'm a school tech coordinator. I have many computers and many iPads. I apologize if there is a some place that has all the rules governing the use of Apple IDs. I looked, and I even tried to get the answers from multiple Apple rep's. I couldn't find the answers.
    How many Apple IDs can I have per device?
    I want to use the same computer to sync and backup many iOS devices. The iOS devices would be associated with different Apple IDs.
    I may load apps under a school Apple ID and have users load their own apps under thier own ID.
    How many devices can have the same Apple ID?
    Can I use the same Apple ID on all the computers in a lab?
    Can I use the same Apple ID on all iPads for a particular grade level?
    Are the rules different for iOS devices and computers?
    I know that there are limits on "authorize" and "de-authorize" and how frequently those things can be done.
    Recently I heard that for the life of an iOS device, it can only be associated with five Apple IDs. That is not good for a school giving iPads to students in a 1:1
    To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

    It would be best to address your questions there, especially since this is a public forum, and over there you could post more private issues with this set-up. Not to mention, getting more official answers.

    It did pay for it if your Apple ID has a credit card on it.

  • My iMac suddenly can't read the backup hard drive I've been using for Time Machine.  I did NOT just upgrade the OS or anything.  The external HD is an OWC Mercury Elite All Pro. It's worked fine since I got the iMac 4 years ago.`

    My iMac suddenly can't read the backup hard drive I've been using for Time Machine.  I tried unplugging the cord that connects the HD to the iMac and plugging it back in, but I still get "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" below which are buttons for Initialize, Ignore and Eject.  I was using a cord that went from larger square plug to larger square plug.  So then I tried one that went from smaller square plug to what I think is USB (thin rectangular plug) of the sort that connects the keyboard and mouse. It's the type that my printers and scanners use to connect to the iMac.  I did NOT just upgrade the OS or anything.  The external HD is an OWC Mercury Elite All Pro. It's worked fine since I got the iMac 4 years ago. What else can I try before just trying to initialize and

    Thanks, Michael!  I do hear it at times spooling up and running. Just after I bumped the thread I looked for troubleshooting for this drive online and found the manual which suggested using Disk Utility which I've seen before accidentally (if I hit Command Shift U instead of Shift U to type "Unit" on a new folder for a student's homework ) but had never really noticed.   Disk Utility does see it and also a sub-something (directory?) which might be the Time Machine archives on the disk, called disk1s2), sort of the way that my iMac's hard drive shows up as 640.14 GB Nitachi HDT7... and has a sub-something titled DB iMac, which is what I named my iMac's hard drive.
    Anyway the owner's manual just shows the image under the formatting section, not the troubleshooting section, but as soon as I saw it in the manual I remembered seeing it accidentally a few times, went to it, and am now verifying the disk.  Right now it's telling me that it will take 2 hours to complete the verification, so I guess I have a bigt of a wait.  :-) 
    Does that fact that Disk Utilities can see it mean it's not failed, or just that it hasn't completely failed? 
    I can see the virtue in having multiple redundant backups, or at least two backups. What do you suggest?  Two external hard drives?  I had this one linked by ethernet, and but I also have a cord that could link it by USB (like a printer), so if this one is reparable I could get a second one and link it by USB.  If this one is not reparable I could get two and do the same thing.  I do have an Airport so I suppose it's possible to get some sort of Wi-Fi hard drive (my new printer/scanner uses only the network and not a cable, although it has a cable that I used for the initial installation), but I'd suspect a Wi-Fi hard drive might have a higher price.
    What hard drives, if any, do you recommend? I seem to recall that when I was looking at external hard drives 4 years ago, Apple's were substantially more expensive, which is why I got the OWC Mercury Elite All Pro.

    Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

    ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.
