Problems with re-naming photo files

Hi there, could anyone please give me some advice on a problem I am having with re-naming photos?
I have scanned over 2000 photos onto my mac. I scanned a batch of a couple of hundred at a time, and as I went along I would copy each batch into iphoto and then trashed them off the hard-drive (with hindsight I'm not entirely sure why I did that!). I am now trying to back them all up on to an external hard drive and have run into problems. The file names they saved as are for example img001, because of the number of photos I scanned I have about five photos in iphoto all with the same file name, and when I drag them onto the hard drive to copy them I am of course getting the message pop up that says I already have a file of that name on the hard drive and do I want to replace it, which of course I don't.
So...... I went through all the photos and renamed them so they were all different. However, although they show with new titles, when I click on "Show Extended Photo Info" in the Photos menu, the file name shows as the original one it was scanned as. I have then tried right clicking the photo and going to "Show file", and have renamed the photo there. However it still shows the same file name back in the extended photo info, and when I try to copy it on to my hard drive I get an error message saying "The items on the Clipboard cannot be pasted to this location. One or more of the items may have been deleted or are no longer available".
This is driving me insane!!! Please can someone help me!?

several things most of which have to do with what iPhoto is and how it works
iPhoto is a database program and you must not every make any changes to the contents or structure of the database (the files) except using iPhoto - never via the finder or other programs
as a database you never use the internal structure but use the database tools to access the photos
The only way to backup up the database is to copy it intact as a single entity to a different drive - you can not back it up in pieces
To backup the photos or move them to a different machine you export them from the database (file menu ==> export) and one of the options at that time is to assign new file names
when I drag them onto the hard drive to copy them I am of course getting the message pop up that says I already have a file of that name on the hard drive
So now that you understand how iPhoto works you see that there is a simple solution to this - simply export the photos and use the rename option in the export to assign sequential names to them
I went through all the photos and renamed them so they were all different
If you did this by typing a new title below the photo then you simply export using the use title as file name option
I have then tried right clicking the photo and going to "Show file", and have renamed the photo there
This is using the finder to modify the contents of the iPhoto library and will corrupt your library and make it unusable - to use it you will have to restore it as it was - your backup is the easiest

Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

Hi guys, hope you can help...
I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
(this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
Thanks for your help.
DAve.

maybe I'm onto something...
I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
Any more realistic ideas?

I have a problem with running an EXE file on win2000, the Lab View is 5.1 and I do not know if it is 16 bit...

I have a problem with running an EXE file on win2000, the Lab View is 5.1 and I do not know if it is 16 bit...what should I do?

Hi Arika,
The drivers that you need to install to make your executable work depends on what your executable is doing. To get started, you need to have the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine installed on your target machine (the Win2000 machine you are planning to use) in order to run your executable. Next, you need to determine what drivers your executable uses, if any. For example, if you are using GPIB instrument control, you will need to install the NI-488 drivers on your target machine. If you are performing data acquisition, you will need to install NI-DAQ drivers. If you are doing image acquistion, you will need to install NI-IMAQ drivers.
All these drivers are available for downloading on ni.com. To get the drivers, go to ht
tp://www.ni.com/support , click on the link that takes you to Drivers and Updates (under Option 3), and click on the links to get to the driver(s) you need. For example, if you need the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Run-Time engine, click on the All Drivers and Updates by Application link on the main page (http://www.ni.com/softlib.nsf/). Then click on the LabVIEW link, Windows 2000, Run Time Engine, and then you will see the link to get to the page to download the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Run-Time Engine.
I hope this information helps.

Problem with Append mode in File Receiver

Hello,
I am facing some problem with Append Mode in File Receiver.
In channel config, i have given :
Construction Mode : Append
File Type : Text
Message Protocol : File Content Conversion
The size of the file which i am trying to send is about 9.5MB.
I got this error,
"Recovering from loss of connection to database; message
loaded into queue by recover job: System Job (Failover Recovery)".
So, it would seem that there was a loss of connnection to the database
while the file was being written.
Note - XI successfully recovered from the connection loss and
successfully wrote the file, however since the communication channel
was set to append, it appended to the partial file that was written
before the database connection loss. This is not correct. The file
should have been overwritten after the recovery even though the communication
channel was configured to append.
Can anyone help me on this regard.
Thanks,
Soorya.

Hi Venkat,
I would suggest u to split the file in to chunks if u face any problem in processing at a time in append mode and also
Memory Requirements are must 4 processing huge files:
Q: Which memory requirements does the File Adapter have? Is there a restriction on the maximum file size it can process?
A: The maximum file size that can be processed by the File Adapter depends on a number of factors:
o The most important one is the size of the Java heap, which is shared among all messages processed at a certain point in time. In order to be able to process larger messages without an out of memory error (OOM), it is recommended to increase the size of the available Java heap and/or to reduce the concurrency in the system so that fewer messages are processed in parallel.
o Another factor negatively influencing the maximum message size in releases up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13 is an enabled charcter set (encoding) conversion if the message type is set to "Text".
o Using the transport protocol "File Transfer Protocol (FTP)" also uses more memory for processing than the transport protocol "File System (NFS)" (up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13).
o If the Message Protocol "File Content Conversion" is used in a File Sender channel, consider that not only the size of the input file affects the File Adapter's memory usage, but even more the size of the XML resulting from the conversion, which is usually a few factors larger than the original plain text file.
To reduce the memory consumption in this scenario, consider configuring the setting "Maximum Recordsets per Message" for the sender channel. This will cause the input file to be split into multiple smaller mesages.
Plz do refer the following links:
U may plan the availability of ur communication channel using "Planning Availability Times" feature

Problem with RTPExport output video files

Hi, I have a problem with RTPExport output video files. One side streams H263/RTP(AVTransmit2.java) and other write this steam to a file by RTPExport.java. When network conditions are ideal, output video file has same fps and same number of frames like original file. Problem occures, when theres packet lost in network, then output file has different fps,and also has less frames like original video(because it didnt write missing frames to file, and thats why it get shorter). Pls how can I achieve output file that will have the same fps like original one? How to write to file an identical copy of what I can see while receiveing video with AVReceive2.java? Its there a way to modifi rtpexport or avreceiver to do this? Thanks a lot!

Problem occures, when theres packet lost in network, then output file has different fps,and also has less frames like original video(because it didnt write missing frames to file, and thats why it get shorter). Okay, first off, the second file is smaller on purpose. RTP intentionally drops packets that are old/out of order in order to make sure real-time video stays as close to real time as it can. This is by design, so there's really nothing that can be done about it.
How to write to file an identical copy of what I can see while receiveing video with AVReceive2.java? Technically speaking, what you're getting in the RTPExport is exactly what you got on the receiving end. Any frames that are dropped during transmission will not be seen by the receiver, nor saved by the receiver.
Pls how can I achieve output file that will have the same fps like original one? I'm not 100% sure that you can, but, you can give the following idea a try. I make no guarentees that it'll work, but it should work for you...
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/RTPConnector.html]
That example is an example of a "custom transport layer" for RTP connections. Essentially, it's some code that's handed the RTP packets on the transmission end, and it's expected to deliver those RTP packets on the other end. And it doesn't care about how they get from A to B, only that they do.
If you were to replace the UDP socket in that example with a TCP socket, you would be guarenteed not to drop packets due to network reasons. Every RTP packet you were handed by the transmitter, you would then hand to the receiver. There is no guarentee that none of the packets would be cast away as "old" by the RTP protocol itself, but there's also no guarentee any of them would be. It's a crap-shoot at best, but it's certainly worth a try.

Problem with corrupted iPhone photo albums

I have a problem with my iPhone "Photos" app.
When I open it is see hundreds of "ghost" albums in the Albums tab.
I have tried to turn off syncing photos in iTunes and then turn it back on again, and so deleting all albums and photos and then re-applying- but no luck. I also tried to sync with an empty folder on my Mac instead of the iPhoto library, but this still does not delete the albums.
Anyone know how to nuke the photos on an iPhone and start from scratch WITHOUT having to restore the iPhone to its factory state?

Here is what I see when I go to delete some of the rogue albums:
I could keep doing this but there are probably 300-400 of them!!!!!

A problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash

Hi.
There's a problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash.
If I import a layered PSD file, some part the color of the lower layer is shown at the edge of objects or shadows. Instead, if I crop each layers first and import them, there's no problem.
If the higher layer has brush or transparent effects, it becomes worse.
Any help with this problem?
Thanks.

How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

Problem with Snow Leopard and file sharing

I mostly work at home where I have an 18 months-old intel iMac 24'' running Leopard and an older iMac G5 20'' (PowerPC) running Tiger. Besides, I have a three months-old MacBook Pro 17" in which I recently upgraded the system to Snow Leopard.
Before this upgrade I never had a problem with the sharing of files between the three computers (I have them connected via Ethernet and a 5-port D-Link router wich provides flawless internet connection to the three computers). However, after the upgrade it has become impossible to connect the MacBook to the iMac G5 or vice versa via afp. Besides, getting the MacBook to connect to the (Leopard) iMac 24'' is frustratingly slow in either direction.
A related problem is the fact that after the upgrade the portable is no longer capable of seeing directly my ethernet-connected laser printer (to one of the ports of the D-Link router) although... surprise! it does see it as a shared printer in the iMac G5 and this way it prints alright.
Any ideas or suggestions to explore the cause of or solve this problem are warmly welcome.

Same problem here, did you find a solution?

Problems with mp4 (h.264) files, colour desaturated.

Hey guys. I've been having problems with mp4 h.264 files (not quicktime h.264). When playback on windows media player and windows classic media player it looks terrible. the saturation are weird (espesially on colours like yellow and red) and there seems to be this weird blur on the image. For so long I thought there was problem with the export from Premiere Pro, today however when playback on Quicktime player or VLC player it matches the orginal. I exported the file through premiere pro. I don't know what the problem is, maybe it's just the playback on windows media player and window classic media player.

Playback on media player
Can someone tell me what's going on?

On the contrary, with more than high probability playback in QuirkTime shows you wrong colours because of its crooked colour management.
How do you judge on colour matching between your source file and what you see in media players?
What is your spec and GPU in particular? Do you use any sort of colour management in its settings?

I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file down

Hej!
I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file downloading, accessing Web pages, none of it works. What is the error?
Ronnie.

When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment and displays the Mozilla Crash Reporter. Are you seeing that, or is Firefox just freezing and you're killing it?
Assuming you have crashes, you can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" (especially the last section) for steps to get those crash report IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.
If that's not possible, have you tried Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Problems with metadata in .mov files

Hi
I'm trying to set up an archiving system for video much like the one I use for photography. In doing this, I use metadata (File Info) reated and applied in Bridge to create searchable keywords for our archivist to use.
The problem is, I can't get bridge to create the metadata files. I can access the metadata templates function through the tools, File Info, or by control-clicking the image. But the window that opens is not editable, though it is savable. Blank but savable. I also cannot access other, previously created, templates. They are viewable, but greyed.
I don't think i had this issue a couple of weeks ago. Am i doing something wrong?
filmgrrrl

I'm not familiar with movies but tried a .mov file myself. It is not
possible to add metadata or keywords because it gives the message that it is
a read only file.
And it does make sense you can't add data to a read only file
I tried also a little project that I used for try with film function on my
powershot G9 and that was saved in i-Movie as Mv4. This file is capable of
adding metadata so you should search for a way to make the .mov readable
(don't know if it is possible at all), or if you make theme yourself try a
format earlier in the process. But as said, I know very little to none about
movies...
Could this be with the version of Bridge I'm using? It really doesn't seem to
want to give me access to change the metadata on .mov files. it's fine on
photo files of various formats.
