Places Map getting sloooooooow...

Hey gang-
Been having fun putting pins around the world with the new Places feature. But alas after getting only about a third of the way through my photo library, I notice that the Places Map is getting slower and slower to display.
For example, if I'm in Events and I click Places, it is now taking about 8-10 seconds for the Map to appear. Not a big deal if you only do it once, but I was demoing this to someone yesterday and so we were clicking around between Events, Faces, and Places and suddenly that Map delay starts to look like a freeze!
For comparison, I currently have 42 pins with 5,061 photos assigned to them. Also, I keep my Places very general- usually just one per major city- i.e. not doing anything too detailed like street-level or something like that. So I don't have pins close together that might be causing this slowdown.
Anyhow, I'd like to continue this project, but not if the Map is going to get slower yet. I'm running on a 2.8ghz Intel iMac with 2gb of ram and only iPhoto running. My internet connection is 6 MBps DSL connected over Gigabit Ethernet.
Anyone else seeing the Map getting slower and slower?
Dave

Well, I just upgraded from iPhoto 8.0 to 8.0.1. I had hoped to see speed improvement when switching from Events or Photo mode to Places mode. Unfortunately I see no difference- still takes 8 to 10 seconds to switch from Events or Photos to Places.
Currently have 55 places and 6,200 photos. Would anyone with a similar number of Places and/or Photos please let me know if you are seeing similar performance when switching to the Places Map view?
Thanks!
Dave

I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map to let me fix a position on the map. It remains disabled for my photo. Checking out the Help file has not given any solution.

I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map tp show. I have tried the Help file and the information was not helpful. Can anyone give advice here?

I am using iPhoto 9.1.1. When I select thephoto, then Places I get the window (Places to lookup disabled). When I hit theInfo button I get the size an JPEG notification, and Faces and Key words. The “reverse” of thepicture shows a window with Rotate, Hide, Trash etc.
When I select Places, get the Google worldmap, and this case a pin on Sydney Australia showing that eighteen photos arecorrectly placed. I am unable to make the connection to San Francisco wherethis particular photo was taken on a very modern camera.

Map.get(K) and Map.get(Object)

When I first saw the new 2.0 generics compiler, I was very pleased to see that the signature of Map.get() has changed (since 1.3) from:
    interface Map<K,V> { V get(Object obj); }to:
    interface Map<K,V> { V get(K key); }because it means buggy code like this:
    Map<File,Integer> fileSizeMap = new HashMap<File,Integer>();
    Integer sizeOfFile = fileSizeMap.get("/tmp/foo");
    if (sizeOfFile == null) {
        System.err.println("File not found in map");
    }(where I have mistakenly called Map.get() with a String rather than a File) will now get a compiler error rather than a fault raised several months after the application has gone live.
So, as I say, I am very pleased with the new signature for Map.get(), although I would also like to see the following methods changed:
    boolean containsKey(Object)   -> boolean containsKey(K)
    boolean containsValue(Object) -> boolean containsValue(V)
    V remove(Object object)       -> V remove(K)However, I just read on http://cag.lcs.mit.edu/~cananian/Projects/GJ/Bugs/v20/map.html that Neal Gafter says that putting Map.get(K) into 2.0 was a mistake, and that it will be put back to Map.get(Object) in the next version.
I do hope I haven't missed something obvious, but keeping these methods with Object parameters seems to me to be a backwards step from the excellent type safety benefits provided by Generics.
Does anyone else agree with me that having get(K) would be beneficial in allowing the compiler to identify bugs that would otherwise only be discovered much later?
Or, could someone explain to me why having get(Object) is preferable, and whether this reason is more important than the type safety issue I identified in my example code above?
Many thanks in advance
Geoff

Gafter wrote:
The reason the argument type is Object and not K is that existing code depends on the fact
that passing the "wrong" key type is allowed, causes no error, and simply results in the
key not being found in the map.But "existing code" does not use Generics, and therefore as with all other non-generic code, the authors of that code can choose to either leave it as it is (in which case their Maps will become Map<Object,Object> and Map.get() will then take an Object), or to upgrade it to Generics, and take advantage of the helpful compiler messages that may highlight some design flaws in the original code.
In Jakarta Commons Collections (this is "existing code"), there's a class MultiHashMap which extends HashMap. When you call MultiHashMap.put(someKey, someValue) it appends someValue to an ArrayList that gets stored as the value in the HashMap. However when you call MultiHashMap.get(someKey), it returns a Collection of values, rather than just a single value.
If they try to upgrade MultiHashMap to Generics, they are going to come up with a problem: they would be needing something like this:
    public class MultiHashMap<K,V> extends HashMap<K,V> {
        public V put(K key, V value) { ... }
        public Collection<V> get(K key) { ... }
    }which of course is not allowed, since Map<K,V>.get() returns V, not Collection<V>.
Now, I don't hear anyone saying: This "existing code" relies on Map.get() returning an Object, so in Generics we're going to make Map.get() return Object rather than V.
No, instead we (correctly) say: That MultiHashMap code was wrong to abuse the flexibility provided by the use of Object as the return value of Map.get(), and if it wishes to use Generics, it will either need to become MultiHashMap<K,Object>, or if it insists on being MultiHashMap<K,V>, it will not be allowed to extend HashMap.
I really don't see the problem in using Generics (and a typesafe Java Collections API) as a means of highlighting problems in existing code. As I said before, existing code will continue to work as before, because List will become List<Object> and Map will become Map<Object,Object>.
This is no worse than "accidentally" trying to get() with a key of the right
type but the wrong value. Since none of these methods place the key into the
map, it is entirely typesafe to use Object as the method's parameter.Suppose for a moment that when String.endsWith() was first written, it took an Object parameter instead of a String. If I were to say to you: This method needs to change its parameter from Object to String, would you tell me that that there's no need to make the change, because a String can only ever end in a String, and so it is entirely typesafe to use Object as the method's parameter?

Photo Places Map

The places map where the geotag information is show is just Google's street map. Is there any way to get the map to display as Google's satellite map or just an aerial map?

No.

IPhoto Places map home button does not show all photo locations in one extent

I recently started populating location information for my photos in iPhoto 2011. Some are pre-loaded from my iPhone, but I also manually added locations for other photos/events. Now I have locations assigned both in the U.S. and in Europe, but when I try to view them all in one extent (via the "home" location button on the Places map), the map centers on Europe and I can't even see the U.S. Did I accidentally change a setting for the "home" location on the map? I cannot find a menu that shows options for the "home" location. Is it possible that locations are too far away from each other to see them all at once? If so, is there a way to reset the center of the map so I don't have to pan over from Europe every time I want to look at the U.S. locations (which is 99% of the time)?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I think I figured it out.
It appears that the iPhoto Places map centers on the extent with the greatest number of individually geo-tagged photos. Rather than centering the map to the area in the middle of all your locations (i.e. one location, one "point"), it actually prioritizes locations by how many individually tagged photos are at that location (i.e. one location, many potential "points").
Secondarily it may be a screen size issue. When I falsely tag a bunch of photos in Hawaii, then I can only see HI and mainland U.S. (no Asia or Europe).
I guess Apple assumes you'll want to see most where you have the most tagged photos. This is unfortunate, however, as I tend to tag overseas locations by the entire Event (many photos placed at one location) vs my domestic photos which may or may not have locations. I guess it'll even out over time, but still, it would be nice to be able to set a specific "home" location or viewing extent.

IPhone 5 "places" map in photos app only showing very first photo taken.

I got my iPhone 5 three days ago and have taken 20 something or so photos on the camera. Location services is enabled for the camera and photos, yet the only photo showing up on the "places" map of the photo app is the very first photo I took, right after buying the phone. I have no clue why none of the other photos are showing up in the places map & would appreciate any help making them all show up on the map.

mcytron [and Dhalberg]...
Thank you, for posting this problem and the resolution.
I have just returned from a two month 14,500km Kimberly's and Red Centre trip, and found to my absolute disappointment that all of my iPhone 5 photos had a horrid blueish tinge.
a) by chance, I found when fiddling with iPhoto Edit that on the photos with this tinge, that the Revert to Original button was highlighted.
Click on that button, and the photo colour profile was magically restored.
b) OK, but how do I proceed now; select every photo, and select Edit, Revert to Original for every one? I have 600 plus photos to fix.
I began looking for a method of doing a Batch Change, which I have used in the past to adjust the time [and date] of photos imported from my wife Olympus SZ-14, and bingo, found the Photos, Revert to Original button in the top menu bar drop down.
It worked a treat. I was able to select all the effected photos [in fact did a Ctlr a on the entire collection], and all 600 plus were restore in a few minutes, withthe click of one button.
Phew...

How do I create a slide from the Places map for slideshow in aperture 3

I would like to create a slide with the places map, like the photo journal in books, in my slide show. Has anyone done this and how did you do it? Thanks

Can I suggest that a screen grab using the selection tool in 'Grab' might work, and importing that image into your library might suffice.

Map.get(Object o) vs Map.get(K k) ?

Hi All,
I hace a question about Map (or may be TreeMap as it comes into my notice whle using TreeMap). I posted it on Collections related forum and got referred here
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=684755
I was wondering why some methods of Map<k,V> specify Object as type for keys used and not the given type K. problem is that following code will throw a ClassCastException
String key="146564";
TreeMap<String, String> map = new TreeMap<String, String>();
map.put(key,key); /*If you uncomment this line you will get Exception*/
map.containsValue(new Long(key)); /*can compile */
map.containsKey(new Long(146564)); /*can compile */
String v = map.get("1");
//map.put(new Long(1), "");/*Can't compile*/
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String
at java.lang.Long.compareTo(Long.java:34)
at java.util.TreeMap.compare(TreeMap.java:1093)
at java.util.TreeMap.getEntry(TreeMap.java:347)
at java.util.TreeMap.containsKey(TreeMap.java:204)
atTestClass.main(TestClass.java:27)It is suggested that since I am passing a Long to map.containsKey(), where as Map was declared as Map<String,String> I should expect to get such nasty runtime exceptions. My thinking is 'generics' are specifically designed to avoid such situations.
Can any one let me know why 'generics' are implemented such a way that is not orthognal accross various interfaces? i.e. why is it that I need to remember what instance of a Map was created with key/value pairs of Type A/B and which one with C/D, however if I am using Collection, it will be type checked at comple time? I would either expect to remember it always or to expet it to get type checked at compile time always.

This was heavily debated during the evaluation phase. The reason that get(Object) was favoured is basically backwards compatibility: the contract of Map talks only in terms of the equals(Object) method, and for many key types K there can be objects which are not of type K but are equal to a key of type K.
My personal view is that if get(K) introduces problems then you've used the wrong type for K, and your entire design is probably shoddy if there isn't a suitable interface type to use. Moreover, having get(K) would save me probably 5+ hours per year chasing bugs due to calling get (or Collection.contains, which is really the same issue) with the wrong object.
If you really want to compile against get(K), it's fairly straightforward to make a jar with a "fixed" java.util package and use this with javac -bootclasspath. I believe that as long as you don't distribute said jar (and you only need it for compilation, so that's fine) the licence permits this, but IANAL and this is not legal advice.

Best place to get a genuine N95 8GB screen

I cracked the screen on my Nokia N95 8GB at Reading Festival this year. The phone works, but screen doesn't. Where is the best place to get a new/used original/geniune Nokia screen to fit? I'm happy to do it myself.
There are a few on ebay, but i'm never sure whether the non-geniune Nokia screens are good or not.

Who knows? Some may be genuine, but the people selling them have no right to do so.
Also, if you do any damage whilst replacing this yourself, you'll invalidate your warranty for other issues that might be covered by it, so spending a little to have it profesionally fixed may benefit you in the long term. Even the oldest N95 8GBs in Europe are still covered by warranty until at least October 2009.

Good place to get upgrades for a Quicksilver

I just picked up a Quicksilver G4 800. I am looking to get some upgrades for it. I am looking at get a dual 1ghz but I would also like to upgrade the video card and add sata drives to it. Where is a good place to get mac upgrades and what is a good card for the quicksilver. I do a lot of video stuff.

If you run Tiger on your systems, the nVidia GeForce 6200 AGP video card with 256 MB shared memory is a popular one, because it is optimized for Quartz Extreme and Core Image. nVidia never made a Mac version; but many East Asian cards with flashed ROMs can be found on eBay, others on Amazon.

The above example claims hardware support for OpenGL, Core Video, and Core Animation, making it suitable for Leopard. I cannot confirm these claims. Mine (from eBay) came with an audio VGA adapter and digital DMI adapter.

Where's the best place to get code converted between ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0?

Where's the best place to get code converted between ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0?
If I just have occasional (very small) projects, what's the best way to get them done really fast by somebody who knows both 2.0 and 3.0?
Thanks, Dan

You have pretty much answered your own question... hire someone who has fairly thorough knowledge of both AS2 and AS3.
I have heard there are some tools for converting between AS2 and AS3, but I have no knowledge of them other than having heard that they cannot convert all things.... which makes sense because there is not always a one-to-one relationship to how things ae done with AS2 and how they get done with AS3.

IPhoto places map to iWeb

Hi
Basically I would like to be able to include the places map on my site, preferably so it is interactive. Visitor clicks on location and links to those pages on the site.
I posted here rather than iPhoto as I can't find an obvious way to do this, and wondered if anyone knew of a third party application. I'd rather not have to do a screen shot and manual edit of the links, but suspect that may be the most straightforward way at the moment.
Adam

You can't do that in either iweb or iphoto.
but you can build a complex geotag/google map/iweb mash up system.
however, you will need to know/understand XML, KML and HTML.
see my posts here: http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=f1309&search=Go&q=geotag

Best place to get a complete list of Cisco Product IDs

I'm tyring to find one place to get a complete list of Cisco product IDs-
I woud like the list to include hardware and software products like LMS, WCS, NCS, Prime Infrastructure, CNR, etc

it can be frustrating having to jump all over to find a product ID when there's surely/hopefully 1 cental local that has a complete list.
LOL! I'm sure it can be.
I would go to the Cisco Download main page. And here, you have two ways of determining it. You can either scroll down the description list until you hit the last window which gives you the complete PID or you just type in a few characters.
The downside to all of this are some small parts like, rack mounting kits, SFPs, NM/NME which are not found here.
Sorry, I can't help you other than that. Like I said, you should have more access since you are employed by Cisco and have access to behind-the-scene restrictred applications.

Where's best place to get original Airport card?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where's the best place to get an original Airport card? I've just bought a new iMac and want to connect my old eMac to it. I've got a BT Homehub wireless router but just need an original Airport card for the eMac downstairs. I'm a bit new to the computer game and just wondered if anyone could recommend a decent place to buy accessories.
Thanks

Thank you guys for answering my question. I've just got one more now Will an American airport card still work on an English Apple Mac. I feel silly asking, as I'm sure it'd be fine, but I know American videos don't work in our players, and DVDs have different regions (although I've found the codes to stop that, he he). Thanks again.
