Old Toad! I'm Missing the expected DPI lines in iPhoto 6 .plist File

Old Toad:
Using Pref Setter to examine my iPhoto 6's com.apple.iPhoto.plist, I have discovered something very strange. Some of the lines you say we should edit are outright missing from the file. See below for lines present and not present in my plist:
BookTargetDPI - 300 (present)
BookTargetImageDPI - 150 (not present)
BookTargetMediumDPI-300 (present)
BookTargetMediumImage - 150 (not present)
BookTargetSmallDPI - 300 (present)
BookTargetSmallImageDPI - 300 (not present)
The "low DPI" lines are outright missing, even after searching with Pref Setter's nice search function. Could this be the very reason that so many people are complaining about books coming back from Apple with such low quality? Should these non-present lines be added into to our iPhoto 6 plist? This could resolve the book quality issue...My most recent book was lousy and I sent it back.
Thanks!
STEVE

Steve:
I just brought up my pref file for a new library and it is missing those particular keys also. Maybe the 6.0.2 update did away with them. It looks like iPhoto is assigning 300 dpi to all portions of the book uniformly and got rid of the image dpi settings. The three book target image keys is set at 300 and probably applies to images as well.

Just bought a 2tb external hard drive with the intention of moving my iPhoto data files on it. I have so much of my 500 gigs being used up by images and video. Questions: Will this foul up my iPhoto app? Do I need to point iPhoto to this new location?

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
Assuming a Managed Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Count the number of lines in a txt file

I need to count the number of lines in a txt file, but I can't do it using readLine(). This is because the txt file is double spaced. readLine() returns null even if it is not the end of the file. thanks for the help

I need to count the number of lines in a txt file,
but I can't do it using readLine(). Then just compare each single byte or char to the newline (code 10).
This is because the txt file is double spaced. readLine() returns
null even if it is not the end of the file.Errm what? What do you mean by "double spaced"? Method readLine() should only return null if there's nothing more to read.

Where is the iphoto plist file in Mountain Lion

I upgraded to ML and iPhoto 9.3.2 and imported a few GB of photos. After the import iPhoto started crashing. It seems like the first step is to delete the plist file but I can't find it in ML. Anyone know where it is?

Usually would be found in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. However, that particular Library folder is invisible. You can make it visible:
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Paste the following line at the prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
You should then be able to peak inside the preferences folder.

I have lost the top three lines (toolbars?), containing File, Edit, etc; back button, home, etc; and most visited, etc. How can I get them back?

Somehow, I have deleted the top three rows from my home page. All I have left is the AOL home page. I need to get back the "File, Edit, View,etc." line, and the "Page back arrow, Home icon, etc."

* In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
* Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

I'm unable to get my macbook pro to work with an Optoma tx542 projector. I've got a VGA adaptor, and the projector works with my old iMac, just not with the new macbook. Any ideas?

The projector recognizes it's a mac, since I see the mac desktop background on my screen when I connect, but I'm not seeing my desktop. Any ideas?
Thanks!

ugh...i'll be sure to let you know...i'm beginning to regret buyin a mac now...one usually spends the bucks most of have dropped for a premium machine, to actually work. I don't expect every aspect to be perfect, but simple things such as functionality of applications developed for and by the same company making the machines should work...maybe its just because i'm more than a little peeved that i'm going through such trouble to do something as simple as put two pictures next to each other and upload the site (as it appears in iweb) on to the mobileme...
I finally got it to upload, thanks Old Toad, and i got the pictures to upload...now they just don't appear next to each other as they do in iweb...i guess the good thing is that they are no longer covering text...
now i'm presented with a second problem...i add a second entry to my blog and when i click on that directly i'm taken to a page saying it is not found...but when i go to the first entry and click next it takes me to the second entry page...although that page is ALMOST correct (the links do not have the same styling i applied to them in iweb)...
and now i'm presented with a third problem...after adding the second entry i noticed on the blog listing page that my photo from the first entry did not move with it (another photo covering text problem)...so i tried using the graphic placeholder, but the image still does not show up on the main page...

Message to Old Toad regarding DB back-up automator

Hi Old Toad,
I have downloaded the automator you made in order to back-up the iPhoto library. I am just confused on one thing, even after reading the README file.
You wrote: "When launched, this Automator work flow application will copy the iPhoto
database file, Library6.iPhoto, from the iPhoto Library package to the Pictures
folder replacing any previous version of it there."
I understood from the tip you wrote in each of your answers on the forum, that the automator you create, when running, makes a back-up of the library when needed. However, when I read the README file, I understand that it helps in RESTORING the original file if corrupted since it replaces the library located in the picture folder. I am afraid to run it if it replace my current library in the pictures folder, loosing all my pictures/books/etc.
Could you please clarify? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
I'm not OT but as his younger and better looking pal...
When you run the Action it creates a copy of the database file.
That copy is put into your Pictures Folder. If there's a previous copy already there, that will be overwritten. It does not move or in any way affect the running db file within your Library, it just copies.
Then should you need to restore a damaged db file, you can move this copy into the pkg file and you're off an running again.

How to get the number of lines of a file?

Folks:
Is there a way to get the number of lines of a text file? I don't know if there is an existing method to do that.
Thanks a lot.

HI
I found some solution
other than increment loop and all
here is the code it might helpful to u
//returns the number of lines in a file
//author : Ravindra S
//Symphony software Hyderabad
try
RandomAccessFile randFile = new RandomAccessFile(csvFile,"r");
long lastRec=randFile.length();
randFile.close();
FileReader fileRead = new FileReader(csvFile);
LineNumberReader lineRead = new LineNumberReader(fileRead);
lineRead.skip(lastRec);
countRec=lineRead.getLineNumber()-1;
fileRead.close();
lineRead.close();
catch(IOException e)

Entries in the .plist files.

I have two apps that share the same code base. I created multiple targets for them. So, for the two targets, I have two .plist files.
I am getting ready to set some of the entries that the apps need. I see that some of the entries for the Key are not available to one of them - in particular, UIPrerenderedIcon and RequiredDeviceCapabilities.
Is this normal? In my testing I see that the icon for one of these apps has the conventional Shine and the one for which I see the Key UIPrerenderedIcon, the Shine is absent.
Thanks in advance.

The names are different in the two .plist files:
* Icon already includes gloss effect [YES | NO]
* Required device capabilities [Array of capabilities]
and
* UIPrerendededIcon [YES | NO]
* UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities [Array of capabilities]
But then, at the end, things are working....

HT4970 does any one else miss the month at a glance that the old version of reminders had? I wish Apple would bring that feature back.

Does anyone else miss the month-at-a-glance feature from the old version of Reminders app? I wish Apple would bring that feature back. It made it very convenient to schedule for the future.

You can send feedback and let Apple know

Re: OT: The Old Toad Quiz (Aug 21, 2006)-Real tough

Yeah. I'm not sure how keen I am on that, nor am I
particularly keen on
Charon. To me a planet should be an independently orbiting
body, but I
understand how I'm kinda splitting hairs there. Will we
eventually have
planets orbiting moons?
I don't get why they don't just call the small ones
"planetoids" and be done
with it. I know I sure don't want to have to remember 113
names of the
planets. ;)
Either way, what a fascinating time to be alive, when so many
fundamental
discoveries are being made. Just when we thought we knew it
all, it seems
like there's always an advanced course. :O)
(that dark matter stuff is pretty exiting, as well)

On my phone the iCloud box opens and has an old email ID and wants the password....I have reset the ID and password several times, what am I missing??

iCloud on my phone still shows 'old email ID' and wants the password. I have reset the ID(new email address) several times, and my phone does not update. Help! What am I missing?

Did you go through the steps in my earlier post?
If the password for your old ID is not accepted when you try to sign out, and the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you'll have to temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Can you attach an image of the error display? Did you install DAQmx after installing LabVIEW? Do you have the DAQmx palette?
