Photostream management: avoiding multiple directories and keeping photos

Hi
Sorry in advance for a stupid question but I can't find any way of moving forward.
We take a lot of pictures with our iDevices and we are happy to see it automaticaly on our iMac (Aperture).
But, Aperture creates one directory per month (Photostream Jan 2013, Feb 2013...) and we like to manage our photos by themas so we drag and drop photos from photostream monthly directories to our own directories.
Once all photos from a month have been copied into the right directories, we would like to remove photostream dir in order to avoid 12 new dir per year.
We don't care if photos are removed from photostream on our devices but if we remove the Monthly dir, then photos are deleted from Aperture librabry :-(
Not sure to be crystal clear with my explanation.
If someone can help it will be great.
Thanks in advance.
P.

You need to drag the images from the Photstream or the Photostream Jan 2013 project to another project of your choosing.
Once the images are moved and placed into a new project you can delete the Photostream Jan 2013 project.
Remember all images need to be in a project and in only one project. Not sure where you are dragging them to given you're use of the term 'directories' in your post but if the images are deleted from Aperture when you delete the Photostream Jan 2013 projectt then you did not move the images to another project.

How to share itunes library with multiple users, and keep organised

Hi,
I'm using iTunes (v12) on Windows 7 and am trying to set myself up so that multiple users on this PC are sharing the same library. I've followed the guidance mentioned on a couple of other threads, and put the library in the Users\Public\Music location, and on each user account have pointed iTunes to this location. This has worked OK, as both users can see all the music.
However, problems arise when User A deletes a couple of files (duplicates for example) - User B logs in, and the song is still listed in the library, but with an alert stating the original file cannot be located. They then have to go through the library and also delete these entries. Equally, if User B adds some music files (as opposed to iTunes downloads), they are not visible to User A until they "Add file to library..."
Are there any further steps that I can take to keep both users views of the library identical, without manual intervention by the second user whenever the first makes a change?
Cheers,
Matt

The way you've set it up each user has a distinct library, but is accessing a common set of media files and folders. To accomplish what you want, you need to have a complete iTunes library (database + media) in a common location - typically this would be C:\Users\Public\Music\iTunes. See turingtest2's notes on Make a split library portable for the steps that may be needed to bring your library into a suitable structure. Based on your description, you'll need to select one user's library (C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl) to act as the shared "master" and move this to the Public folders.
Then, for each user, hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes - when you get this prompt:
click on Choose Library..., navigate to C:\Users\Public\Music\iTunes, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open (you'll only need to do this once for each user account).
Note, though, that iTunes is inherently a single-user application - any attempts to run iTunes at the same time will cause errors (and, in the worst case, possible corruption). For this reason, its a good idea to disable fast user switching in Windows so that only one user can be logged in, and running iTunes, at the same time.

Moving iPhoto data AND keeping photo/event descriptions

I recently took my PowerBook on vacation to unload my camera every now and then. During the vacation I added descriptions to many photos and events that were created. Now, I'd like to move the photos from the PowerBook to my MacBook which I use as my main computer. However, if I simply drag an event to and external drive and import that into the MacBook, the descriptions of the photos are lost and the description of the event is lost. Is there any way to merge the data without loosing the descriptions?
The PowerBook G4 is running OSX 10.5.4 and iPhoto 7.1.3.
The MacBook is running the same OS and iPhoto version as the PB.

MisterJerry
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Two options:
1. Export each Event using the File -> Export command. Set the Kind: to jpeg and tick the box to 'Include Title and Keywords'. This will get the descriptions too.
or, even easier
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager to move the events between the libraries - this will move photos and metadata too.

My iTunes 10.6.1.7 automatically restarts every time I close the program. I have to open the Task Manager to close it and keep it closed. Any suggestions to fix?

I have closed the program repeatedly, but every time I do it reopens within a few seconds. The only way I have found to make the program STAY closed (not using memory and CPU time) is to force it to close in the Task Manager.

Do you have Logitech gaming software installed on the PC? If so, perhaps try the suggestion from the following post:

Multiple managed servers, Multiple machines and Multiple clusters

Hi,
I have couple of applications to be deployed in high availabliity. I
have been a Tomcat/Apache guy so far. Yesterday night I read the whole admin doc
and tried some installations on the boxes. But have some confusion here.
Since our application is getting commercialised and I like to have 12 managed
serves on each of the three big linux servers and one windows machine as admin
server port 9002. 18 for each application in clustered environment. cluster of
18 for each application.
FIRST CONFUSION is
I want to use only one domain name. So I install weblogic81
on win box and call it dls and then I find out that I need to install weblogic81
as good as the one on win box on linux servers, not surpised, but during the installation
when it asked me for a domain name I was confused. No option to join the existing
domain that I created on my winbox.
Why??? So I type dls again.
Is there a way not to do all this as it may be creatign another domain and just
start nodemanager and not install domain at all ?
SECOND CONFUSION is
When I was installing weblogic on win machine as admin server. I was given
options of adding managed servers and clusters amd machines. So do we need to
have all the managed servers already running before I add them here or I can do
it later.
Thanks n Advance.

Playing multiple videos and keeping sync?

Hi,
I've got 3 videos (.avi wrapper) from 3 different cameras all synced together. When I run all 3 with seperate Quicktime apps they fall out of sync with each other (after 10 minutes there was a 15 second difference).
Is there any way to sync all 3 players together or to run all 3 videos in the same player? I'd like them to be frame accurate.
Are there any otehr ways of syncing the videos together (H.264?)?
Thanks for any help on this....,
Precision 670 Windows XP 4Gb Ram, 500Gb HD
Dell Precision 670 Windows XP 4Gb Ram, 500Gb HD

There are 3 different cameras but of 3 different views. However, people will be walking from one view to the next so they all need to be in sync to get the times right between cameras.
There is no audio on any of the footage.
At the moment, opening up 3 Quicktimes, each running 1 video, the quicktime that has focus tends to "run away" and fall out of sync with the other 2 (after I've selected "play all movies). I assume this is a XP focus/priority issue but is there any way around it?
Are there programmes available that will start all 3 at the same time and buffer them to keep them in sync? Can I wrap all videos in a H.264 wrapper and run them that way?

How to use FCPX to edit from multiple cameras and keep audio in sync?

I apologize if this is obvious. I thought I saw a discussion about it in this list already but I cannot find it for the life of me. And I am a relative newbie to video editing. Here's my question/problem.
I film live musical performances using a three-camera setup. Using Final Cut Express, I typically bring the clips into a multi-track timeline and sync the clips to the master audio. Then to create the edit of the performance, I go through the performance and essentially select a camera angle by cutting it out of it's track and dragging it up to a fourth video track. Utlimately, this fourth track (with suitable transitions) becomes the final product.
The point being that it's critical that all three cameras be kept in sync so I can choose whatever angle works best without having to do additional audio sync of any kind.
The question is, is this approach to a synchronized multi-camera edit possible/practical in FCPX? Or is there a different approach/workflow that FCPX encourages that will get the same effect? Otherwise, I cannot see how FCPX will work for any kind of multi-camera project where there is a fixed timeline imposed by the audio track...

Backing up MP3's to a storage device and keeping photo and info data intact

I have been recording older LPs and getting the album art from a collectible website. itunes stores these files in the library for the pictures I have added. Will these pictures carry over to a burned data/MP3 DVD and in the future be brought back on another computer?

DJ Hot Wheel wrote:
Does the pic file become a part of the MP3 file size then?
Some of my pics are records that had been shot with a high end camera. I dont want the file being an extra 3-4mb each. This builds up fast.
Yes, if you paste the art in, it becomes part of the MP3 file. If you are using a JPEG from a website it probably adds 50-100 kB, but if you add a high quality file that you scanned or photographed, you could easily be adding 3-4 MB, as you note.
You might want to consider converting it to JPEG and shrinking the size.

ESB: inbound file and outbound ftp adapter with multiple directories

Basically I want to scan directories and write new files ftp directories. I could figure out how to do that for one directory. However I need to scan multiple directories and ftp upload files contained in those directories to corresponding ftp directories. Number of directories and their names are only known at run time. All directories are under one parent directory, both locally and the remote ftp site. We can assume all ftp directories exist.
I could not figure out how to this. Is this possible at all? Directory names seem to be only specified at design time, for both inbound file adapters and outbound ftp adapters.
Pranab

Chris, I am not really sure this is the right place to ask this question. But hopefully you might have something in your armour to help me out.
My requirement is to configure an inbound File/FTP adapter to read from a Directory which can be known only at runtime. A webservice call returns the file name and network path of the file to be read, but that happens only during the run time. I guess one way possible is, you configure a File/FTP Adapter with a logical name for directory and set the physical directory path using the endpoint property. But in that case, I should know the Physical directory @ deployment time.
I would like to know whether it is possible to manipulate the Endpoint property of an ESB Service (SOAP Service/Routing Service/Adapter Service) during runtime.
So is there any way to get the enpoint property configured during runtime??? Otherwise dO you recommend some other solution for this use case???
Any help would be appreciated.

How do I use ITunes on my laptop with 2 different accounts and keep music etc separate

We have one lap top and now have 2 separate ITunes accounts. We want our own (different) music on our own devices. How do we keep music library separate? Until now it was just one library, but we have downloaded from CD's my husbands old county music (loaded outside of iTunes into folder on desktop). But ifnitnis imported it will show up in the main iTunes. How do we keep things separate? Too bad you can't have multiple iTunes downloaded, or can you for separate accounts?

There's a few ways of managing multiple devices (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:

Archiving the file in to Multiple Directories

Hi,
   I have a scenario which takes the file from the source system and uses proxy to post the data in to ECC.When it picks the file it has to pick from multiple directories.This i can achieve by using advanced selection for source files and
also i need to archive these files to multiple directories depending on the source directory. I have given an example below.
      ex : Source directory : /users/system/location1/input
             Archive Directory : /users/system/location2/archive
            The file can also be picked up from
             Source Directory :/users/system/location2/input
             Archive Directory : /users/system/location2/archive
So i have to read the data from multiple directories and archive the same to multiple directories(Depending on the source).Can we achieve this using single file adapter(Communication channel)
   Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance
Sripathi G Yogesh

Hi Sripathi,
no, you need for each folder an adapter resp a Communication Channel and, as well, a Sender Agreement for that Channel. But you can copy a well working channel and just change the path to the folder and to the archive. You can reuse the interfaces and the receiver determination as well. I dont see any need for BPM in that case.

Hp director and hp 6500n printer

Is there a place to download the hp director software for my printer? I got a new computer and can't find my installation cd.

Hi MichiganHitman,
I understand you're having some issues getting the HP Director and HP Photo and Imaging software to uninstall from your computer. I'm sorry to hear you've been having this issue, but I will do my best to help you!
Please click here and select Windows 7 before scrolling down to Step two: Uninstall other HP software through the Windows Control Panel. The second options states to look for Uninstall a program but not everyone's computer's are labeled the same. You may see Programs and Features instead, and it will take you to the same place. Once you can see all the programs installed for your computer, you should be able to see the HP Director and HP Photo and Imaging software to uninstall.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

PhotoStream: Multiple Devices and Performance Issues

Had a bad night last night with PhotoStream. I have an iPhone 4S (AT&T), my wife has an iPhone 4 (VZW), we have an iPad 1 (Wi-Fi), Apple TV 2 (Ethernet), and a 2011 Mac Mini (Wi-Fi)... all in the same house that has a Time Capsule and is connected to AT&T DSL service, 3.0Mbps service (average speed test results are 2.65Mbps down, 315kbps up). Oh yeah, there's a micro-cell in there too but anytime there's trouble that gets shut off first so its irrelevant for this discussion.
So yesterday was Halloween and we both took alot of photos away from the house with the iPhones. Got home, started using the internet, noticed the performance was HORRIBLE. Speed test showed over 1,000 ms ping latency (I still can't believe I actually waited for it to finish the ping test) and nothing was getting through for the download / upload test. I have never (believe it or not) with AT&T DSL seen it get this bad. Its been bad before, don't get me wrong, but this was surprising even to me.
How did I come to the conclusion that PhotoStream was my issue you may ask? Well, its sort of a long story, but bear with me... The other day, we started having trouble with the Apple TV 2, which for the most part is pretty solid. My wife was streaming Netflix movies and it was stopping every 30 seconds. It was looking at this issue that had me first raise suspicions about PhotoStream. Just days before this problem started, I had enabled PhotoStream on the Apple TV 2. SO I did the first most logical thing anyone could do, I took a step back and disabled it. Problem solved. Thought nothing of it, yeah I was a little discouraged that I couldn't use it on the Apple TV 2, but not a big deal, my favorite part of PhotoStream is using it to get the photos into iPhoto without having to plug the iPhones in so I said to myself "I'll just keep putting the photos into Events and Albums until they work out the kinks on the AppleTV 2" thinking perhaps the Apple TV 2 needs to not update PhotoStream while videos are being played. They can fix that at some point, right? Sure they can.
Now, back to this other issue. My bandwidth last night was completely crapped out, and I was determined to prestige on Black Ops one last time so this had to change STAT! I mean, come on! I was at Level 47 and I was ready to GO! My internet connection just wasn't having it. I powered off the router, rebooted the modem, and powered on the rotuer again. Everything came up beautifully. I jumped into some Nuketown 24/7, 4 green bars next to my name and I was happy. After we lost Bravo, which on Nuketown takes about a minute and a half if both teams are fighting over it, I'm lagging like crazy and I have that little red bar that no one likes to see next to my name. Sure enough, speedtest results are all whacked out again.
So I'm sitting there thinking to myself, what could this be? My wife was watching cable TV, my son was asleep... essentially the Xbox 360 was the only thing trying to use the internet... I thought... until I remembered our iPhones and the photos we had just taken and all the devices that would be simultaneously trying to update PhotoStream. Let's list them again, shall we?
iPhone 4S - Upload to Stream and Download from Stream
iPhone 4 - Upload to Stream and Download from Stream
iPad 1 - Download from Stream
Mac Mini - Download from Stream
So how can I prove this crazy theory of mine that the great and wonderful PhotoStream was choking my internet connection? Simple.
iPhone 4S - PhotoStream OFF
iPhone 4 - PhotoStream OFF
iPad 1 - PhotoStream OFF
Mac Mini - PhotoStream OFF
Speed test results immediately after doing this?
2.73Mbps down / .31Mbps up with 26ms ping time (used the Speedtest.NET app on the 4S).
Sadly, this means that for now, I cannot use PhotoStream, however I did manage to Prestige on Black Ops which made me happy, and the iPhone 4S can still be plugged into the Mac Mini to download my wonderful looking photos.
That's right, I didn't throw away the charger cables just yet and if you want to start talking about iTunes Wireless Synching with multiple devices in the same house, I can gladly take up some more of your time. Thats right, its OFF as well!

I just wanted to report that this is still an open and particularly nefarious bug. I've got a fairly idealized Apple household with 2 iPhone 4's, a 'new' iPad, a 13" Macbook Pro, Airport Express and our most recent addition this weekend... an Apple TV.
While I had no particular interest in enabling Photo Stream, I turned it on while messing with the screen saver settings and didn't think anything about it. As I began to play with my new toy I was immediately disappointed with all the long spinners and timeouts in Netflix. Later that day I noticed my computer and iPad were having similar connection issues. My first thought was 'oh, Comcast must be acting up, that's why my new Apple TV isn't working so well'.
Fast forward 3 days to today and our network issues were still occuring and I decided I needed to figure out what was going on. After mucking around in network settings for a couple hours I half-jokingly decided to disconnect the AppleTV on the whim that the issues started at the same time I hooked it up. Sure enough my network issues disappeared. I even went so far as to run continuous pings to various IP's outside my home network and watch the timeouts come & go as i plugged/unplugged my ATV. Now knowing the ATV was the problem I set out to figure out what in particular was causing it. As soon as I signed out of Photo Stream everything was working perfect again. Netflix on the ATV is quick & responsive, no more spinners or timeouts. My other devices aren't plagued with random disconnects, dns failures or slow downloads.
Long story short, something is bugged in AppleTV's Photo Stream support. Mine didn't appear to be downloading any new photos, it had stopped with 255 photos downloaded. Not sure if that was all I had in iCloud or maybe AppleTV can only pull down 255 max? Maybe 255 is the magic number where it hits the bug that causes this behavior? Either way, it appeared to be only affecting the outgoing internet connection, when I had a continous ping going to another machine on my internal LAN it didn't appear to get affected.
Hope this helps someone at Apple track down the bug. While someone technical can probably troubleshoot these issues I could see someone like my mom never putting the 2 + 2 together that her internet problems started around the time she enabled Photo Stream on her AppleTV and instead blaming it on 'the internet acting up again' and of course calling me months later to look into it for her.

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account. To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).
