  • When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange.  It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list.  This is a recent development.  The icon used to be green upon bootup.  Does anyone know why ?

    I'm sorry to hear that.
    I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago.  I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
    Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
    Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all.  I can go weeks between syncs.
    Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist.  Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one. 
    Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff).  Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
    Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for.  It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

  • I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album.  The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

    I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album.  The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

    No.  When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library.  Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
    If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
    It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications.  You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

  • 10.9.5 with camera raw 5.07 not showing .RW2 and DNG but showing .CR2 previews in finder

    Even with the latest OS and latest camera raw, only my Canon raw image files display proper previews in the finder, and open properly with iPhoto and Photoshop.  .RW2 and .DNG files will not show previews or open with iPhoto, and .RW2 files won't even open in Photoshop without being converted to DNG.  I've combed the support community questions for over a year now, am tech support oriented, and am ready to throw in the towel.  I've had this same problem with previous system versions and camera raw versions, so I know the solution lies with neither of the two. 

    I'm having exactly the same issue and I posted on Adobe's site and dpreview and StackExchange but nobody has the final answer. I can see thumbnail previews in finder with ALL my various Raw files (Olympus OMD EM1, Panasonic GH2 and GH3, and Nikon D5300) just fine but when I use the convert to DNG feature in Lightroom (latest version since I'm on the CC subscription), only the Nikon DNG files display a preview thumb in finder and neither the Oly or Panny DNG files display. The closest I got to an explanation is that, since the m4/3 cameras do their profiling in camera and Adobe doesn't have a profile for them, some of the info isn't converted into the DNG in those systems. The article I read about it was really about Aperture not being able to read the Adobe DNG files but it may also explain why Mac finder can't show preview thumbs.  Aperture 3: Some DNG images display as unsupported - Apple Support
    If there is no way to get preview thumbs in finder with the converted RAW files from my GH3 then I'll forgo converting for now.
    Here is my Nikon DNG
    And my Panny DNG (Oly is the same)
    Panny RAW shows up just fine
    As does the Oly ORF

  • How can i find and finish downloading a tv show i purchased

    does anyone know how to find and finish downloading a item i recently bought.anyone?
    Message was edited by: shugochara3000

    Well, first of all, did you quit itunes when it was downloading? You should have gotten an message saying that you would have to restart your download if you quit now. Then when you reopened itunes, it should have started downloading again. If you paused the download before quiting in the downloads section on the left, then you just need to hit the resume downloading button.
    If the download isn't appearing in your downloads section, and you only have part of the show, then I would go to your account details in the itunes store, and then purchase history, click on your tv show purchase (unless it isn't there, And then there is a problem) then click report problem, and then select one of the little things (that say "I didn't recieve this item" and other stuff), Enter in what happened, and send. You will then be contacted by an apple support guys.
    I hoped this helped. If the purchase isn't there, you might have not purchased it, or there is a bigger problem, so just report the problem to Apple. That is all I know, so I hoped it helped. They support guys usually contact within a day or two. But they have been quite busy lately with the iphone fiasco, so I don't know. Enjoy!!!

  • My new ipod nano only shows "pedometer" and "history" on the fitness screen. How do i find the run icon so i can measure distance?

    my new ipod nano only shows "pedometer" and "history" on the fitness screen. How do i find the run icon so i can measure distance when i work out?

    Try to hook up your nano to your computer and choose the dialog box to update your software.  The current version is 1.2 which allows distance to be calculated once you input your height (and weight).

  • Finder shows drives and folders, but no contents. It also won't show applications!

    I have a really odd issue with Finder.
    I plugged in an external LaCie Rugged to a MacBook Pro, the drive shows up and when I open it I can see all of the folders on the drive, but when I try to open them it says there is nothing in them! At first I thought it was an issue with the drive, but I used finder to open disk utility and finder couldn't see ANY applications! This makes me think it's a problem with Finder/the Mac, not the drive.
    Restarting the MacBook Pro seemed to fix this, but it has happened a couple of times.
    The MacBook Pro isn't mine, it was rented to go on a shoot. We were using it to transfer footage from a C300 camera onto an ExFat LaCie Rugged drive. The MacBook Pro will be going back to the rental company so I can't perform any checks. Just curious to know if anyone else has had the same problem, what is causing it to happen and how to resolve it?
    Thanks gang

  • After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this?

    After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this? I can see the library icon on my external drive, but it doesn't show as a library in iPhoto. When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?

    Peter
    Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    HA!  I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars".  So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account.  Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone.  Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone.  Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE.  I made my own day!
    I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.

  • Finding and showing file date/time i'm referencing on

    How can I find and show on page the date and time parameters of file on which i'm referencing with using an JSP? I tried it with java.io.*,
    <%@ page import="java.io.*"%>
    <%@ page import="java.awt.*,javax.swing.text.*"%>
    <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=windows-1250"%>
    <%
    File u_file=new File("http://oracle1/pn/index.html");
    long dat=u_file.lastModified();
    Date u_date=new Date(dat);
    %>
    <%=u_file.getPath()%>
    <%=u_file.getName()%>
    <%=u_file.isFile()%>
    <%=u_date%>
    but the date was always 0(1.1.1970) ,result of isFile was null, but result of Pathname and Name was correct.
    What is wrong?

    From the JSP, if you say, File file = new File(path);
    It will try to search for the file starting from the bin directory (I am using tomcat). So, you need to give the full path to the file from there.
    For example, if your file is in, webapps/examples/html/ directory, you need to use something like this,
    File file = new File("../webapps/examples/html/index.html");
    You can't give URL as the file name/path. You can't access Oracle's file system!!!
    Hope this helps.

  • Finding and deleting powerbook g4 files from macbook pro

    I am finding old powerbook G4 files on my macbook pro and would like to find and delete them.  Any suggestions/recommendations on how I can do this?

    Go MBP (the best thing it has to offer is a PCI slot that the MacBook doesn't have). If you really need to use FM7, then cut the track on the iMac and import it into the MBP.
    As far as Rosetta, it won't open a plug in that isn't the same version (i.e., PPC or Universal Binary) as the host. So if your Logic version is UB, then the plug ins have to be too.
    If you can use FM7 in a stand alone mode, then you should be able to use it. I wouldn't recommend it because anything processor intensive tends to run crappy under Rosetta.
    Hope that helps.
