Question about how songs are stored
As I understand it, songs in iTunes are only stored in the library, right? Any songs listed in any kind of playlists, on-the go, etc are only pointers back to the original (and only) song file in the library, correct? Does it work the same on the iPod? (I have an 8GB Touch).
I ask because my iPod is getting very near capacity, and I'm trying to make sure that I don't have multiple copies of the same song stored on my iPod.
Thanks for any input or help.
A nice trick is to create Smart Playlist (SPL) where you can limit the playlist to a certain number of tracks or size of playlist and then pick just that playlist to sync to your iPod (rather than everything). For example, on an "8GB" iPod (which really holds about 7.4GB), you might set up the smart playlist to be limited 7GB and selected by the least recently played. Check live updating.
By picking the limit of 7GB you can continue to grow your library and not worry about having too many to fit in the iPod since the SPL will automatically limit it for you. And by making the rule Least Recently Played, your playlist will auto refresh to remove stuff you just listened to and throw in other ones that have been a while since you listened (least played will also include new tracks added to iTunes). So your 7GB Smart Playlist will be ever changing to rotate in new items added or things that have been the longest since you last listened.
Have fun,
Patrick

Trying to understand how pics are stored
I'm new to Mac (iMac Core i5 27") and trying to understand how pictures are stored. I've searched and found some posts that are relevant, but I really wanted to try and confirm a couple of things that still aren't clear to me.
First question is: Are the pictures in Events, Photos and Albums all the same photos?
Second question: If I import pictures from my external drive into iPhoto, are they stored on the iMac hard drive in the Pictures folder, and just viewed in iPhoto?
Thanks!First question is: Are the pictures in Events, Photos and Albums all the same photos?
Yes. Iphoto works on a Library bsis. Every photo is in the Library. Events and Photos are both views of the Library. Albums reference photos in the Library. A photo can be in many Albums and use no extra disk space.
If I import pictures from my external drive into iPhoto, are they stored on the iMac hard drive in the Pictures folder, and just viewed in iPhoto?
Yes, by default. There are other options - for instance, iPhoto integrates with almost every app on your Mac, you can store the Library on an external etc etc. If you tell us what you'd like to achieve we may be able to help you.

Hi all,
I'm new to editing with proxies in Premiere and have some questions about how to handle the relationship with After Effects. Say I have a rough cut (with proxies) and I want to send it to AE to do some effects. The simplest thing to do seems to be to replace the proxies with the originals in Premiere, send the project to AE and do my thing. But if I then want to send the project back to Premiere, it will involve the original files, which are too machine-intensive for me to edit. In theory, it seems like there should be a way to send the project with original footage to AE, do effects, send it back to Premiere, and then replace it with proxies to do further editing while retaining the effects.
This leads to a confusion about how AE works. When I do an effect, am I correct in assuming that it does nothing to the original file? If that's the case, it seems like it shouldn't matter (in the editing stage) what file AE "applies" an effect to (proxy or original). But I feel like there's a hitch in this workflow. The same question could also be asked about going back and forth in Speed Grade.
Perhaps there is no real answer to this and the best option is to save effects and grading for after I have picture lock, but sometimes that's not entirely possible or convenient, etc.
Hopefully this makes some sense—It's a little hard to explain.
Thanks.Hi Mark,

A few questions about how ZPM works.
We have patch management (in ZCM 11.2.2), but honestly don't use it much. I have a few questions about how it works that might make me use it more, if I understand it more.
If I deploy a patch (or a set of patches), it creates a bundle for that deployment. That bundle seems to include actions that deploy the actual patch bundles (correct?). Do I have to recreate a new deployment bundle every time I want to push a new patch? i.e. If I push a Java update, and a month later, a new one comes out, do I build out a new bundle with the new patch in it, or do I modify the old one?
Once the patch is deployed, can I safely delete that deployment bundle, or should they just pile up?
Is there a way to "auto-approve" patches? Lets say I always want a group of machines to have the latest Adobe Flash Player patches. Can I set up ZPM to automatically cache and push the latest patches for a specific product, or do I have to manually remediate each patch? (I'm thinking of how MS's WSUS does "auto-approval")
I see most packages aren't cached in list, but occasionally, a patch is cached without me touching it. Why? Can I change what gets automatically cached?
Thanks for any help/answers you can provide.

For #1, (assuming you're not using baselines), you would check the new version of the patch (vulnerability) and do a new deployment.
#2 - once you're satisified that the machines are deployed (or the best to your ability) you can delete the DEPLOYMENT package. It doesn't delete the actual vulnerability bundles to my knowledge. That's why it's a good idea to name your bundle deployments with something meaningful, IMO (and maybe include a nice desription).
#3 - currently I don't believe this is possible. I know you can probably configure it to auto-download the patches, but not auto-deploy everything. Given the propensity for software to wreck other things (hello MS .NET patches), this is probably not a good idea. At least I'd never auto-download and auto-deploy any patches without testing them first, and certainly take my servers a little more cautiously than my workstations.
#4 - I think you can configure what's cached, but I could be wrong.
I know there's a lot of improvements coming in the pipeline, and it doesn't hurt to "vote" for your enhancements via the enhancement system (more work for Shaun--haha)

Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?
Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”… If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine... -
I have a question about how to contact HR with e-mail.
I read the rules about anything about HR is not allowed, but I also read to contact HR directly, so I won't ask anything further here. My question is, how? I searched for an e-mail, but all I have been able to find is a phone number I can't ring since I have no phone, just internet. Thank you.
Hello Dennis,
If you're a Best Buy or Geek Squad employee and do not have access to a telephone, then two alternative contact options exist for you: speak with your direct supervisor or use the My HR app within Employee Toolkit. If you are not a Best Buy employee, however, our HR support team will not be able to assist you -- these contact channels are for employee use only.
Thank you for your understanding, as well as for taking the time to post.

Question about how the Robocopy /B switch works...
I've been experimenting with robocopy recently, and most switches seem self explanatory for the most part; although I have a question about the /B switch.
The help says the following:
/B :: copy files in Backup mode.
I've checked multiple forums and websites to try and elaborate on this a little more, and from my understanding this switch enables backup mode that essentially gives the ability to change the acls of a file/folder when the account running robocopy does
not have sufficient privileges, to perform a successful copy.
My question is, when the acls are changed when using this "backup mode" switch, with the /copyall switch, will the file still retain the same user access that it originally had - or does it change all of the security settings?
I'm hoping it will somehow change the security settings, create a copy, and retain the same acls as the original - so users can still access necessary files.
Can someone please explain how this "backup mode" works?
Thanks in advance.This is a very useful thread with a lot of hostility in it.
I have to agree with Jonathan and hazymat: there are few other forums that will discuss the exact function of /b switch, the TechNet article just says "copies in Backup Mode" (I have the article bookmarked), and when doing a google search, THIS page comes
up as the top result! Kinda difficult to tell people they should go search, when you are the exact destination of that search, isn't it? ;)
No offense to anybody working hard to help out here, but this is why sites like Stack Exchange will overshadow every traditional tech forum very soon. More concise question/answer format, more civil, and they actually encourage old questions developing new
answers! All q&a is cataloged for future reference. Their focus is on being a 'resource'.
The negativity here is unfortunate, you guys have great potential to be a very helpful resource for people. Who are you trying to be, the guys with all the answers, or the guys who say "get out of here, your answer isn't in here. Go search for it."?
Regardless, many thanks to jrv! for helping me with my robocopy batch SCRIPT which I just used to create an automated backup! Take care boys. And yes, I just bumped your old-old thread.
Unfortunately I think you miss the point. RoboCopy is an application. It is not a script. This is a scripting forum. Many people come here nd never read the forum guidelines and do not ask script related questions.
The /b switch is documented in RoboCopy help. Of course it assumes the reader is a trained Windows tech and knows what backup mode is. It is used by nearly all backup software when backing up a live system..

Question about how Oracle manages Redo Log Files
Good morning,
Assuming a configuration that consists of 2 redo log groups (Group A and B), each group consisting of 2 disks (Disks A1 & A2 for Group A and Disks B1 and B2 for group B). Further, let's assume that each redo log file resides by itself in a disk storage device and that the device is dedicated to it. Therefore in the above scenario, there are 4 disks, one for each redo log file and, each disk contains nothing else other than a redo log file. Furthermore, let's assume that the database is in ARCHIVELOG mode and that the archive files are stored on yet another different set of devices.
sort of graphically:
GROUP A GROUP B
A1 B1
A2 B2The question is: When the disks that comprise Group A are filled and Oracle switches to the disks in Group B, can the disks in Group A be taken offline, maybe even physically removed from the system if necessary, without affecting the proper operation of the database ? Can the Archiver process be temporarily delayed until the disks (that were removed) are brought back online or is the DBA forced to wait until the Archiver process has finished creating a copy of the redo log file into the archive ?
Thank you for your help,
John.Hello,
Dropping Log Groups
To drop an online redo log group, you must have the ALTER DATABASE system privilege. Before dropping an online redo log group, consider the following restrictions and precautions:
* An instance requires at least two groups of online redo log files, regardless of the number of members in the groups. (A group is one or more members.)
* You can drop an online redo log group only if it is inactive. If you need to drop the current group, first force a log switch to occur.
* Make sure an online redo log group is archived (if archiving is enabled) before dropping it. To see whether this has happened, use the V$LOG view.
SELECT GROUP#, ARCHIVED, STATUS FROM V$LOG;
GROUP# ARC STATUS
1 YES ACTIVE
2 NO CURRENT
3 YES INACTIVE
4 YES INACTIVE
Drop an online redo log group with the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE with the DROP LOGFILE clause.
The following statement drops redo log group number 3:
ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 3;
When an online redo log group is dropped from the database, and you are not using the Oracle Managed Files feature, the operating system files are not deleted from disk. Rather, the control files of the associated database are updated to drop the members of the group from the database structure. After dropping an online redo log group, make sure that the drop completed successfully, and then use the appropriate operating system command to delete the dropped online redo log files.
When using Oracle-managed files, the cleanup of operating systems files is done automatically for you.
Your Database wont be affected as you can operate with 2 redo log files in each group as The minimum number of redo log files required in a database is two because the LGWR (log writer) process writes to the redo log files in a circular manner. so the process will hang becuase you are having 2 only groups if you want to remove 1 add a third one and make it the current group then remove the one you want to be offline.

Another one question about how to download applet (not using external tool)
Hi
i write tool for downloading applet on card. I use apdu trace from NXP eclipse plugin as source of information and i read also about cap-file format in Java Card Virtual Machine specification. And i have questions about data transferred by LOAD command.
As example - from apdu trace i see that transferred data are "C4820E33 DATA1 DATA2". Full length of transferred data is 0x2EE2.
C4 - OK, this is "Load File Data Block" tag as specified in Global Platform
820E33 - OK, this length of tag, =0x0E33
DATA1 - sequence of cap-file components: Header.cap, Directory.cap, Import.cap, Applet.cap, Class.cap, Method.cap, StaticField.cap, ConstantPool.cap, RefLocation.cap. Length of DATA1 is 0x0E33, i.e. DATA1 = 'C4'-tag value.
DATA2 - sequence of two cap-file components: Descriptor.cap and Debug.cap. These components are out of 'C4'-tag.
the questions mentioned above... here they are:
1. Global Platform does not define any data in LOAD command except 'E2' and 'C4' tag. Why DATA2 is transferred out of any tags?
2. Whether the sequence of cap-file components is important? i.e. Can i load Header.cap, Directory.cap etc. in other order than i see in DATA1 field from apdu-trace?
3. Debug.cap seems to be optional component. And what about Descriptor.cap component? Need i load it on card?666 wrote:
1. Global Platform does not define any data in LOAD command except 'E2' and 'C4' tag. Why DATA2 is transferred out of any tags?Because the components are either optional or only required when communicating with a JCRE that has debugging capabilities. I assume you ran the project in JCOP Tools in debug mode against the simulator? If you did this against a real card it would fail as it does not have an instrumented JCRE capable of debugging code. You could try running the project as opposed to debugging to see the difference.
2. Whether the sequence of cap-file components is important? i.e. Can i load Header.cap, Directory.cap etc. in other order than i see in DATA1 field from apdu-trace?Yes it is. It is defined in the JCVM specification available from the Oracle website.
3. Debug.cap seems to be optional component. And what about Descriptor.cap component? Need i load it on card?No, it is optional and is not referenced by any other CAP file component.

A question about how to recover text messages from iPhone
I don't know how to recover text messages from iPhone,it is trouble for me to solve it,Have you any idea?I'm sorry about my English!!!
If they have been backed up then restore them
If not forget about them they are gone.

can anyone help with this please? i feel its wrong to have to pay Apple £25 for something that should be more obvious and easier to do.
Go into the iTunes preferences and turn off the options that have you Copy Music To My Library.
Then, add the top folder which contains your music to iTunes - it will create links to your remote folder rather than copy all music to your netbook.
** Edit
You can set the location of your music here too. -
Question about how Mac OS X stores file information for iMovie and iPhoto
I'm relatively new to Macs (am using a 3yr old iMac and a new MBA running 10.6.4 and iLife 11) and I have this general question.
I'm using the iMac for a lot of Movie projects and photos. I've very quickly filled up my 500Gb hard drive and I don't understand why other than this:
I import a movie using iMovie and it's stored in an Events folder. I then make a project and it's stored in an Projects folder, I then share it to iTunes and it's stored in the iTunes Music/Movies folder. And I also see the movie in an iMovie Shared folder. In other words, it appears that a 2Gb movie (as an axample) becomes about 10Gb because it's saved in multiple places. Must I keep all of them?!
With iPhotos, I've imported about 6Gb of photos from my Windows PC. No problem. I copied across all the directories and then imported them into iPhoto. I then thought I could delete all the directories as the iPhoto folder became 24Gb in size! Not sure how but it seems that as well as keeping my original 6Gb of photo directories it's also put them into the iPhoto directory and somehow made it a big folder size?! If I delete the original folders (since they're now in the iPhoto app folder) then I can't actually browse the JPGs files can I except from within iPhoto only?
I've got about 80Gb of music, about 6Gb of photos and about 80Gb of movies. Somehow it's pretty much filled up 500Gb of hard drive (and very little other programs or files other than the normal iMac stuff it comes with) because of the way the Mac (iTunes, iMovie and iPhoto) seems to have the same thing copied everywhere.
All input greatfully receive and apologies if I'm being thick.
Richard.Richard
I'll answer the iPhoto part for you.
If you use iPhoto in its default setting then the images are copied into the Library on import. Yes you can now delete the directories you have copied over.
then I can't actually browse the JPGs files can I except from within iPhoto only?
Yes and no...
The point of iPhoto is that it's your Photo Manager. It's the "go-to" app when you want to do anything with your Photos. - View them, edit them, email them, print them, use them in other apps, upload them whatever - all of these things are done from iPhoto.
There are two advantages to working this way.
1. You get to work with your Photos and don't have to think about files. This means the organisation possibilities are much greater than just files in folders. You can use Keywording, Smart Searching, Albums, Events and a plethora of other bases for categorising and therefore find your pics.
2. iPhoto is integrated throughout the entire OS. That means your Library is available throughout the OS without iPhoto being open by means of Media Browsers. You can search your Library from a MEdia Browser and so on.
So, while, yes, the files are not browsable via the Finder, there's no need to. Everything you need to do can be done with iPhoto.
Want to edit the pics in something other than iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Cansomeone tell me where and how photos are stored?
When one imports photos into iphoto I'm wondering if it actually makes a copy, therefore making my storage system redundant? I keep my photo folders on my hard drive but would like to make some albums for printing. Thing is, I don't want the same photos stored in 2 places. Any help is appreciated.
PB Aluminum G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.3.9)Hi HelpSlipFranklins,
iPhoto 5 copies all photos it imports into it's own database, which is the iPhoto Library Folder.
Here is a lot more info that might help you:
--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
--All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database (the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder) and your hard drive ONLY after you empty iPhoto's trash. (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder. You can also drag a folder of photos into an empty space in the source column and a new roll and album will be created at the smae time for those images in the folder. The album will have the same name as the folder you dragged into the source column.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
--You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
--You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose
For iPhoto 5--"when double clicking on
photo" ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
For iPhoto 6 (from the Apple Help Menu)-Have you ever used PS as the external editor set up within iPhoto Prefs?
From the iPhoto Help menu;
"Choosing what happens when you click the Edit button
When you want to edit a photo, you can have the photo open in iPhoto's edit view, in a separate window, in full-screen view, or in another application.
To choose a preference:
Choose iPhoto > Preferences.
Click General at the top of the Preferences window.
Under Edit Photo, select one of the following options:
"In main window" opens the photo in the main viewing area.
"In separate window" opens the photo in a separate window.
"Using full screen" opens the photo in full-screen view.
"In application" opens the photo in another application you choose.
To open a photo in its own window when "Main window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
To open a photo in edit view when "Separate window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
Note: Any video clip you imported into iPhoto will always open in QuickTime Player when you double-click it."
And...
"Editing photos in another application
You can do many editing tasks in iPhoto, such as rotating and cropping a photo, changing a color photo to black and white, adjusting exposure and contrast, and reducing red-eye. If you want to make other changes to a photo, you can open it in another image-editing application, such as Adobe Photoshop.
To edit photos in another application:
Set your preferences to open photos in another application when you double-click them or click the Edit button. (See Related Topics below.)
Double-click the photo to open it in the application.
Edit the photo and save it using the same name and file format.
The changes you made to the photo will be visible when you return to iPhoto.
IMPORTANT: When you double-click a RAW-format photo, iPhoto creates a copy of the photo in JPEG format, which opens in the other application. To edit the photo in its original RAW format, drag the photo from the iPhoto window to the Finder, and then use the other application to open it. (If you previously used iPhoto to edit the RAW photo, select the photo and choose Photos > Revert to Original before dragging it to the Finder. This way, you can edit the photo using its RAW data in the other application.) If you want to import the photo back into iPhoto, you must first save it as a JPEG or TIFF file."
--Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
--Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
-The one option you will not find within iPhoto is to resize photos. iPhoto wants you to keep all full size images within iPhoto to give you the best size for printing or using for other applications. You can however go to Share>export (for iPhoto 5) or File>export (for iPhoto 6) and choose the naming scheme, input the dimensions and export to the desktop to use for uploading to a web space or emailing.
--to email a photo set up your email client in iPhoto Preferences. Once done, just select a photo/photos and hit the email icon in the toolbar.
If you use a web based email, then you need to export the photo to the desktop and upload it from there.
Two Apple kbs for you to read

About the iPhoto Library folder
Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.
For more help and information you can go to the Help menu wiithin iPhoto and input your search term in the search bar, then hit the "enter" key on the keyboard.

Question about how not to insert the same row twice
hello everyone
i have two tables
table employee_list
employee_id
employee_name
employee_num
employee_date
and table employee_form
employee_id
employee_name
employee_num
employee_date
table employee_form should contain the exact data like employee_list .
if there are missing data i'm inserting it to table employee_form_miss(missing).
now i have a probelm cause the compair between the two table,take place
more then just one time.now if there are still missing data i don't want that to table employee_form_miss will insert the same data that already exist in this table.
i've been thinking about constraints table employee_form_miss(employee_id
employee_name
employee_num
employee_date).
but i think it will be a wird way to handle this because i will do an insert
and then what rollback? or delete?
please help me how to manage this
thanks in advance.hello everyone
i have two tables
table employee_list
employee_id
employee_name
employee_num
employee_date
and table employee_form
employee_id
employee_name
employee_num
employee_date
i'm using an embedded sql in cobol program
DECLARE AA CURSOR FOR
select a.employee_name ,a.employee_num,a.employee_date
from employee_list a
WHERE a.employee_date = :employee-date
and NOT EXISTS
(select null from employee_form
WHERE employee_name =a.employee_name and
employee_num = a.employee_num and
employee_date = a.employee_date )
i'm doing open and fetch to the cursor.
and loop over the sqlerrd(3) result in order to insert them to the employee_form_miss table
insert into employee_form_miss (employee_name,employee_num,employee_date)
values (:employee-name,:employee-num,:employee-date)
the employee_id in table employee_form_miss there is a trigger which
Increment the sequence by 1 for each row that we insert.
so my question was that if i'm doing a constraint, so still i have to do
an insert and then if there is a constraint to do rollback or delete
from duplicate row. is there a better way to manage this ?
thank you -
General Question about how to encrypt-decrypt and Digital signatures
Hi,
We're developing classes for encrypting and signing a txt message and for decrypting and validating the signature of the message. Everything works properly but I have several questions, they're not about code:
1st We're encrypting the message following this way:
-generating a number which is gonna be the password
-encrypting the message in AES with this password
-encrypting the with the public certificate of the receiver the password
-We pack everything, encrypted message+ encrypted password in a File with public key of the receiver.
The questions we have for this issue are:
-Is it okay? or can I do it more efficiently.
-is it a standard for developing encrypting software? We've followed java api tutorials
-Can we decrypt this message using comercial software? it just plain text(of course if we have the private key)
2nd We take this message and we sign it with our private key
-We use CMS classes from bouncycastle libraries
The questions we have for this issue are:
- How can I check , with comercial software, whether this message is signed ok and is valid.
- How can I know whether this way of signing is in compliance with PKCS7-CMS standard?
Thanks in advance
if you need more information ask meThe file multiscreen.html apepars to do the following:
It tests if the browser is running on a "hand held device".
This means it looks to see if the device name includes:
"blackberry","android","iphone","ipad","symbian","smartphone","ios","windows ce","webos"
If the answer is Hand-held then the HTML5 published module is loaded. Otherwise it loads swf.
I can see no check that Flash player is loaded before making the choice, nor does it check the compatability of the HTML5 on the "hand held" device. In other words it isn't very "smart"
