Pasting images but keeping the format of the old image...

I apologise in advance - this is probably a REALLY dumb question but I'm new to iMacs and iPages. Everyone was new once!
So, to the point: I have a ipages document with pictures (photos) in it, all formatted perfectly (shadows etc). I now want to replace the photos with other photos (same size) but when I paste a new photo the old format is lost. Do I have to re-format every new photo I import (there is quote a few on my document). Please tell me there must be a way just to replace the image rather than having to paste then image and the formatting the new image too - please?! Many thanks in advance.

You might find it very useful to copy snippets like these images, either created by yourself or from templates, and copy them into a "library" file.
Then when you need them you can just copy them back into the file wherever you need them.
Be also aware that holding down the option key whilst you drag an object duplicates it, so you can quickly manufacture lots of images say with the same attributes.
Then use +Menu > Arrange > Distribute+ to spread them out evenly.

OSD - Install fresh Windows 7 but keep the old XP file system

Hi, I'm just wondering if anybody out there has any experience with what I am trying to do:
We are upgrading all of our WinXP machines to Win7. We are using SCCM OSD to push out the OS Image. I'm wondering if it is possible for my task sequence to take the existing data on the C: drive and move it to a newly created D: partition, leaving the C:
partition blank. Then, Windows 7 can be installed fresh on the C: partition, but all of the XP data is not wiped out.
I can't quite wrap my head around this to see if its possible. I'm using SCCM 07 without MDT.
Management is very concerned about possible user data loss, so this could be a way to appease them.
Thanks in advance.

It might be possible, but it's nothing I've heard of anyone doing before so you're probably on own on how to accomplish it. MDT does include the ability to create a backup WIM of the drive though which is probably a much better option.
The main problem with either approach though is how do you know if you have enough disk space to do this locally? What happens when you don't?
A couple of questions for your "management":
- If they are so concerned about user data, why do they let the users keep the data local in the first place? Sorry, but they are contradicting themselves on this one.
- What happens if a local hard drive crashes today? Once again, this is in stark contrast to what their *new* requirement is.
Ultimately, if management is truly concerned about user data, then they should invest in a solution to maintain user data integrity all the time, not just during the upgrade. If they are not willing to invest in a solution such as this, then their requirement
isn't as important as they think that it is.
Between USMT and user guidance to ensure all critical data is within their My Documents folder, most organizations are able to successfully migrate their users off of XP without any issues or data loss.

What happens if I restore my new iPhone from backup but keep the old phone on?

I currently have an iPhone 5 and have the 6+ on the way. I'm worried about the size of the 6+ so I'd like to test it out for the 14 day period. If I set up the 6 by restoring from iCloud backup can I still keep my 5 up and running. I wasn't planning on transferring my cell service over to the 6 yet and just running off wifi. Obviously iTunes is going to see both phones as being the same device so that would cause a problem but what if I left wifi sync and iCloud backup on the 6 off. Would this setup work? Thanks in advance.

What I mean is still track my stolen one. I don't know if this will make sense to you but I'm thinking that if I restore the back up data on this phone..on my stolen phone it will like forget the icloud account or something and think this phone is the stolen one so when I go to track the stolen one, it will show that phone as the one I have now because I restored the back up from that phone.

Switch image in a layer but keep the layer mask

Hi, I`m trying to swich a image on a layer whit a layer mask. I whant to keep the layer mask but change the image. When I paste a copyed image it the laye it creates a hole new layer. How can I change a image but keep the layer mask?
Tanks Lasse

You have things backwards: You copy&paste the layer mask and/or duplicate a selection by loading it using Ctrl+click on the thumbnail, then creating a new mask from it. After that you can delete the original layer. Also more recent versions allow drag&drop replacement of this stuff, but you have to be careful which thumbnail you drag...

How do you swap an image in the timeline but keep the in/out points and opacity settings?

Hi There,
We have a file which consists of a bunch of still images that get updated each year - the edits never change.
Is there an edit type that will allow us to swap the images our for new ones but keep the in/lout points and opacity changes? We've looked at all the edit types (overwrite, insert etc) but they don't seem to swap stuff out.
We had also been naming the new files the same as the old ones and reconnecting the media but this is now causing issues.
Any help or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Click on the new image in the browser, so that it is selected, and the type Command + C to copy it.
Next, click on the clip in the timeline that you want to replace with the image you just copied (preserving your in and out points and opacity settings) and type Option + V to bring up the Paste Attributes Dialog Box.
In the Paste Attributes Dialog box, check the box for Contents and leave the remainder of options unchecked.
Uncheck the Scale Attribute Times option as well.
Click OK, and the image should now be replaced on the timeline with the in/out and opacity changes preserved.

Help with reducing the size of an image but keeping the quality

Hello,
I am wondering how do I resize an image but keep the quality. I am creating a folder design for work and I want to include 6 images on the back each of 156px x 118px.
The images I have are slightly different in size but for example sake one of the images that I have is 225px x 158px. The quality is very poor when I reduce the size.
I have tried changing the ppi to 72 and to 300, I have also tried resizing all in one go and in a number of goes and I have tried the bicubic sharpener but I have just had no luck with it.
I am wondering if anyone can help with this,
Thanks
Tracy

Hi Tracy,
A couple of questions:
I am creating a folder design for work...
So this is printed? How large? Pixels are not a unit-of-measure for print.
If for print, you are looking at ppi of 300 or higher AT PRINT SIZE.
So, say you want a 3in x 4in picture. That would mean your original would have to be at least 900px X 1200px. (ie 300ppi x width, 300 ppi x height)
If your original files are not at least that resolution.. . it is hard to add quality after the fact. Unless your are working with vector art.
I have tried changing the ppi to 72 and to 300, I have also tried resizing all in one go
Be sure to do that on copies of original. Keep in mind the PPI number by itself is completely meaningless. It only has use in describing a to be printed image when combined with the print size.

How can I temporarily remove a RAID set but keep the data?

I recently had to restore my Netgear ReadyNAS to factory settings, which meant that I needed to make a backup of its data and restore it afterwards. The only possible way to back up the 8.5Tb of data was to get 9Tb of WD Red disks and somehow use them - so my immediate thought was that the Mac Pro would be a good idea. I t had four drives in it, but three of them were not being used by the OS so they could be temporarily removed.
So I replaced three of my four Mac Pro drives with new 3Tb drives and used Disk Utility to set them up as a JBOD. I then used this JBOD drive to back up the NAS and restore it again after I had re-installed its O/S (the whole thing took two weeks!!!).
So now I'm in the following situation:
* I want to tear down the JBOD set and take the three new drives out of the Mac Pro again and replace them with the drives I normally use there so that I can go back to making music (which is what I usually use it for).
* I also want to be able to put the new drives back in and read the data as a JBOD again if needed (in case anything is discovered to be amiss with my ReadyNAS backup/restore operation) - let's say for the next month I'll plan to keep the old drives around for safety.
How can I remove the JBOD set in such a way that I can set it up again using the same drives, and access the data (i.e. I don't want to delete the RAID set the usual way because that will delete the data too - apparently...)?

Going to ask the mods to move this to MacPro, Hatter can answer your question, but I'm pretty sure if you power down and remove the RAID drives, you can put them in back again and boot up and the RAID will still be recognized as the info is stored on the drives themselves in the GUID/MBR of each drive in the set.
Also you should know, there is a new MacPro coming and it doesn't accept internal drives, only external.
So you should prepare and have some sort of external hardware redundancy for your data that isn't dependent on the Mac HFS+ formatting as Windows doesn't read that.
Perhaps exFAT would be better as both platforms can read/write that, but if the drives are going to be used with a PC ever, they need to be formatted by Windows for exFAT to get it right. Check first before you commit to copying huge data over.
Anyway research it, because if your MacPro dies, you might be up the creek and have some issues getting at all that data since it's in a RAID, external options might not work correctly or reliably for RAID.
Also consider talking to the fellows at MacGuru's, they are external RAID box setup experts for Mac's, sounds like you need a RAID 5 box, gives redundancy and can connect to any computer.
Hardware RAID is more reliable than software ones, cross platform as well.
good luck.

I sold my Imac and would like to wipe it out but keep the major programs is that possible?

I sold my Imac and I would like to wipe it out passwords and all but keep the programs that have been purchased, is that possible and how do you do it?

Not really. You should just start clean.
Prepare Your Mac for Sale
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

Hi, I'm using imovie 11, I want to delete a clip video at the end of the project, but keep the audio, everytime I delete the video, the audio is also deleted, please help!

Hi, Excuse my English, I'm using imovie 11, I want to delete a clip video at the end of the project, but keep the audio over the fade to black, everytime I delete the video, the audio is also deleted, please help!

I assume you are trying to end the clip/project with a fade to black, or something that just doesn't cut so instant.
One thing i'm thinking you can try is to Add a "Transition Clip" to the end, and try your first method. (with Detached Audio + Delete Selection. (Yellow highlight was deleted selection) Do you need something to end like this?
If you can, put screenshot up (Shift+Comm+4), if i'm not on the right idea. It seems like an easy fix, with a few ways of doing it. You can also add a blank image to end project, sub titles or Add,Cutaway fade +Opacity adjust.

If the TOC is located on certain pages, you can simply delete those (from the Pages panel).

Removing podcast episodes from iTunes 12 but keeping the files

I want to be able to remove a podcast episode from iTunes 12 but keep the audio file on my computer. This used to be an option, but now I am no longer asked if I want to keep the file. It's just automatically moved to the Trash. I like to archive podcast episodes on my external drive, but I don't always feel like getting the drive out when I'm done listening, plugging it in and dragging and dropping the files. I'm lazy like that. I would keep the episodes I plan to archive on iTunes until I feel like breaking out the drive, except that brings me to my second issue: my podcasts seem to all be set to automatically delete played episodes after 24 hours, at least depending on what view I'm in. I have "Delete Played Episodes" set to "Off" in my default podcast settings, and when I context click a podcast in the "My Podcasts" view and select "Podcast Settings" it says "Delete Played Episodes" is "Off". However when I go to the Playlists view, select an episode and click the "Settings..." button at the bottom, it always says the selected podcast has "Delete Played Episodes" set to "On", even if I click to change it to "Off" in that view. So there's obviously a contradiction there. I don't want to take the chance that my played episodes will be automatically deleted so the sooner I get them off iTunes the better. Unfortunately that means deleting them, then dragging them from Trash back to the iTunes Media/Podcasts folder and into each appropriate podcast folder, which is annoying. Please tell me that the removal of the "Keep the file" option is just a bug. If Apple is, for whatever reason, trying to discourage me from moving my played episodes out of iTunes and onto another drive, then I'm just going to stop using iTunes altogether.

The iTunes Store reads your feed at intervals and caches the contents (the information, not the actual media files): when you make a change to the feed it usually takes 1-2 days for this to be reflected in the Store. Pinging doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Very occasionally it all slows down and can take several days.
