One large photo file?

I think I read this somewhere that iphoto8 now puts all the photos into one file rather than into finder folders. Is this correct? as it makes backup a bear. I hope not.

FYI: LaCie's free backup application, SilverKeeper, also sees the iPhoto library as a folder and can do incremental backups.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Pre9 will not take large photo files, is 13 any better

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 running on - with version 9.0/9.01, it is a 32 bit application whether it is run on 32 or 64 bit computer. So, you will get that "too large" error message when your still total pixel count exceeds the limit.
If you go to Premiere Elements 10, 11, 12, or 13 (the current version) and you are running one of those programs on a 64 bit computer, each will be a 64 bit application and program will not throw off the "too large" error message. I have challenged these latter applications with stills 10000 x 7500, and each was imported with issue.
But, the question becomes, because you can, should you? No matter how high the resolution of the image, it will be forced into the resolution characteristic of the import. Just how much you can get away with in this regard goes to your computer resource and how many of these stills oversized for the project settings.
If you put Premiere Elements 13 on a Window 7 or 8 32 bit system, I am fairly confident that you end up with "too large" error message. That would not be the case if Premiere Elements 13 on a Windows 7 or 8 64 bit system.
Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thak makes a lot of sense, i did not thik about those issues. Ok then, how do I move these files to another external drive i.e. WD Passport?
You are making an assumption that might be totally incorrect.

When a Event is selected, only one large photo shows (no thumbnails)

When I updated to iLife 08 (iPhoto 7.01) all worked well in iPhoto. Then a couple days ago when pulling a few photos to my desktop from an Event thumbnail section, I accidently mis-clicked the dragged photos to the thumbnails window and now ALL Events do not show thumbnail inside. Only one large photo. I can scroll through these with my arrow keys. Also, when I select Photos instead of Events in the Library, only a large photo shows here as well. I've tried to resore iPhoto with no change. Also I have tried to rebuild the thumbnail cashe with no change as well. How can I restore to the thumbnail view option within each Event?

I am also having the same problem since yesterday. I am not able to see the Thumbnails in Events. Making changes in the Preferences to "Show Event Photos" also doesn't do anything.
Any idea to restore this
thanks

Opening large photo files produces black screen

When opening a small (less than a meg) photo, it works find. I'm able to move to the next file. If I open a large file (8-10 megs) it sometimes works fine however if I use the arrow to move to the next file in the folder I get a black screen. Also if I have a folder of many large photo files I can see all the thumbnail photos at a small size. If I try to increase the view size to large some will be black, however if I click on the file many times it opens fine, sometimes not. It was working fine, just recently started to act up. Using adobe photoshop I can open each file so I know they are there and not corrupt files.

Trying to split one large audio file into tracks

Hi;
Awhile ago I mistakenly imported a CD into iTunes, as one large audio file, containing all 10 tracks. Now I'd like to know how to split this file back into it's separate tracks, and re-import into iTunes.
Any thoughts?
TIA.

MP3 editor is a lossless editor for MP3 files.
-> Fission, will do lossles editing of AIFF, WAV, MP3, AAc and Apple Lossless.
You can do it yourself but the songs will be re-encoded (not lossless) but may not be a big deal.
On the song, right click - get info. Click the Options tab and set the Start-Stop times for the first song.
Then select the song, menu Advanced - Create AAC version {or whatever is selected in iTunes prefs -General - Importing}.
This will create a new copy of the song between the time markers. Select the new song, righ click - get info and update the song title.
Then on the original song, set Start-Stop times for the second song and menu Advanced - Create AAC version the for the 2nd song.
Do this for all the songs in the original file.

Mail.app unexpectedly quits b/c I tried to email VERY large photo files

Help! I (stupidly) tried to email several large photo files from iPhoto via mail.app. All five of these emails are still sitting in drafts folder.
Now I can't even open mail.app. It immediately quits.
I deleted the drafts in Finder (or at least I think I did) and emptied trash. Still doing same thing.
Here is what Console says at the time I first started having this problem:
6/8/12 5:51:44 PM com.apple.launchd[87] ([0x0-0x14014].com.apple.mail[130]) Exited abnormally: Bus error

6/8/12 5:57:36 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (0x10a420.mdworker[6504]) Exited abnormally: Bus error
A little farther down the log it says this:

You might try deleting the file located at:
/Users/cynthiabartz/Library/Mail/[email protected]/Deleted%20Messages.mbox/Messages/29051.emlx
If the quicklook daemon is crashing on it, Mail might be too.

I have a large photo file (8.5 MGB) stuck in my outbox in my outlook email in my phone that is just spinning and not sending. I want to delete it. How?

You may consider putting the phone in Airplane Mode (Settings -> Airplane Mode or pull up from bottom of screen and tap the airplane icon if on iOS 7), then going to your outbox in Mail and swiping to delete.

Large photo file

I have a very large phot file in iphoto > 63k. Noto all of my photos are separated into events. How do I correct this?

63 K is not a large file. In fact it's a very small file. Did you mean you imported a 63 Mb photo into iPhoto?
If all your photos are in one event the easiest solution is to get you current backup and replace you library with it. If you don't have a backup then try selecting the Event and then select the Events ➙ Autosplit Selected Events menu option.
OT

In an album, many pictures would show on the screen and double clicking one would enlarge it for adjustments. Now one larger photo shows and along the bottom severa smaller ones. Options which used to be at the top right of screen no longer show. Whel

In Aperture album about 16 photos would show on screen and double clicking on one would enlarge it for adjustments. Now one larger image shows with about 7 photos at bottom. Options for controlling this no longer appear at top right. How do I correct this?

Do you mean the "View" controls are missing in your Toolbar?
To add these controls back to the Toolbar, use the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar". Drag the View Controls back to the Toolbar.

Which method to use to separate out invoices from one large xml file

I will generate one massive invoice file , say , containgoin aout 200 invoices.
However, I would like them to be produced as separate .pdf files instead of a singular pdf
Th eintention is to take each pdf and email it out to customers.
Is there another approach?

Thank you Dominic,
I found the chapter on bursting in another User Guide .
But since I have not worked with java ( classes), I am not sure where to place the separate code units.
From user guide I understand that the following need to be done:-
1. Write up a control file
2. Write up another little class , which will use DocumenTProcessor class and registerListener method.
example
public BurstingTest()
try
DocumentProcessor dp = new DocumentProcessor
("\burst\burstCtrl.xml", "\\burst\\empData.xml","\\burst");
dp.registerListener(this);
dp.process();
catch (Exception e)
{ System.out.println(e);
Where should this new code be placed on the server ? Will it be JAVA_TOP ?
Will the bursting be a stand-alone process , called from the server ? And how to call it ?

Trying to Batch-Export Several .dv clips from one large .dv file

I'm having trouble cutting up and exporting discrete clips from larger .dv files; either it doesn't cut in the right place (weird parts of the file get glommed together), loses its audio, compresses and loses information, etc.
I'd really like to be able to cut up each file into specific clips and export them all at once (the files are roughly 13GB each), but so far everything I've tried has led to disaster, and all of the exported files are converted to .mov

S00thsayer,
The bottom line here is that if your .dv files are in FCP they are no longer . dv files.
I know that may sound heretical so some, but stay with me for a second.
Final cut will simply not edit .dv in its native state any more than it will AVCHD. What happens instead is that FCP IGNORES the audio portion of the DV stream and rewrites its own audio (32 bit float mind you, which is not the most efficient use of disc space)
Now you have a DV NTSC sequence but as far as FCP is concerned that means a .MOV shell containing video + audio. THAT is now the native state. The video has not been re-compressed yet but is still no longer experiencing life as a .dv file.
That's the first reality that you need to accept.
Next, if you do decide to export from FCP to the .dv codec I'm pretty certain that at THAT point you'll be re-compressing your video footage. So, Ironically, in an attempt to avoid generational loss by insisting that the new clips be ".dv" you actually could be making things worse.
The ONLY application in the universe that I'm aware of that will do what you're trying to do is iMovieHD 06. That application had destructive style file functionality that let you trash media that had been trimmed while still maintaining the original file directory.
Personally, I think it's incumbent upon you to inform "your boss" that his abstract idea about maintaining this media within FCP as .dv is simply fantasy.
Or continue to tell the emperor that his new clothes are beautiful !
good luck,

I have 2 WD external HD for back up. One is hooked up to the Time Machine and the other is used to store all my large photo files. The time machine excludes the second one. I need to back this up as well . How do I reformat it so it will ?

I just purchased 2 WD TB external hard drives. I have one formatted to be used with the time machine and it is working well. the other that i am using to store large files is excluded from the time machine. I can't click on it and add as per instructions. It won't allow me to. I need to back t his up as well. Ive backed up this one so I am able to reformat it but it doesn't recognize the drive unless it is formatted in FAT which is what WD advices it be formatted in. It should be in Mac extended journaling but I can't get it to mount in that. Help?

In addition, TM will not backup drives partitioned in FAT as the OP stated his 2nd EHD is formatted. My recommendation to the OP is to reformat the 2nd EHD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then include it in his TM backups. Of course in order to do this the OP must first move the data on the FAT partitioned drive to his internal HD and then once the EHD is re-partitioned correctly he can move it back.
In addition as Pondini mentioned the 2nd EHD must be directly connected to the iMac rather than be a network drive, TM is NOT, repeat NOT a network backup solution with the single caveat of using a Time Capsule backup.

I would like to make one file and add several related files of photos in the one event. Keeping photos in seperate event files in one large event file. Is this possible?

I would like to make one event file and add several realted event files in this one event file without putting all photos together. Can this be done?

Files and events ahve nothing to do with each other
If you are looking for "sub-events" that is not a feature of iPhoto
you can use albums and folders - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
If thsi does not answer your queation please ask it again - it is not clear

Can I create a field to upload larger photo files?

I need to have a field for people to upload images, both photos and graphic design images but when I try and use the basic "upload a file" field the user gets a message saying the file cannot be over 100KB. Is there any way to allow them to send larger files?

OK, if you upgrade to a paid account the maximum combined size of all attached files with a single form is 20MB. So if you have just a single file attachment field, users will be able to attach a file up to 20MB.
