Question regarding iphoto and folders

I am a Mac newbie (9 months) and quite happy expect i freeze all the time after i installed lion, but that is for a different thread.;)
I had all of my pictures on an external hard drive. I had them organized in folders by year (also had a Year/edited for family photos we changed) and then by date/event...ie, 2011 04-05 Easter Dinner at Dad's.
When I got my macbook pro, I hooked up the hard drive and iphoto took care of importing all the pictures. (i have upgraded to iphoto 11). At first, I LOVED it. Putting face names in the pictures, etc, but after a while i got tired of having to reorganize them to find pictures the way i used to. I have over 15,000 pictures and renaming (even with the batch option) and moving them, and fixing dates, etc was becoming overwhelming. I found myself longing for my very simple folder organization. So i went to look for the folders, eventually found them and found out there were folders for originals, modified, thumbnails, etc. and when i went in my originals, they weren't in folders I had originally had on my external drive.
My wife, who is our picture editor, preffers photoshop and i have a windows laptop that i want to use for nothing other than pictures.
So......my question is:
How can i best take my photo's and put them back on a hard drive and then transfer them to the other laptop? Is there anyway to recover my old file system (deleted off the hard drive, except for an old backup but i have added thousands of pictures and have no way of telling which ones are in iphoto are old or new). I am fearful that if I just copy iphoto to the hard drive that the windows laptop will not read them, or that it will still show up with all of the different folders (original, modified, thumbs, etc)
And/or, is there a program to manage pictures for my macbook pro that will keep photos in folders more similarly to how i did before, so it will be easy to move pics from one laptop to the other.
Thanks!!!!

1. You know that iPhoto can do all this.
2. You can sort by Date -> View Menu -> Sort Photos.
3. You can search by date -> Click on the Search icon and select calendar. Then you can find all the pics from any day, month or year
4. You can search by date using Smart Albums too.
5. 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.
6. No there is no way to export back to your previous system. It's gone. You could have easily imported while mirroring that system, but it's too late for that now.
7. To get Photos out of iPhoto: File -> Export. Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
8. iPhoto can run a Referenced Library (where you have your own folder system) but I don't recommend it - especially for people unfamiliar with iPhoto and Macs. It also adds no extra functionality at all. It's just dumb storage.

Question regarding roaming and data usage

I am currently out of my main country of service, and as such I have a question regarding roaming and data usage.
I am told that the airplane mode is sufficient from keeping the phone off from roaming, but does this apply to any background data usage for applications and such?
If the phone is in airplane mode, are all use of the phone including wifi and application use through the wifi outside of all extra charges from roaming?

Ann154 wrote:
If you are getting charged to use the wifi, then it is possible. Otherwise no
Just to elaborate here, Ann154 is referring to access charges for wifi, which is nothing to do with Verizon, so if you are using it in a plane, hotel, an internet cafe etc that charges for Wifi rather than being free . Verizon does not charge you (or indeed know about!) wifi usage, or any other usage that is not on their cellular network (such as using a foreign SIM for example in global phones) So these charges, if any, will not show up on the verizon bill app. Having it in airplane mode prevents all cellular data traffic so you should be fine

Question regarding MM and FI integration

Hi Experts
I have a question regarding MM and FI integration
Is the transaction Key in OMJJ is same as OBYC transaction key?
If yes, then why canu2019t I see transaction Key BSX in Movement type 101?
Thanks

No, they are not the same. The movement type transaction (OMJJ) links the account key and account modifier to a specific movement types. Transaction code (OBYC) contains the account assignments for all material document postings, whether they are movement type dependent or not. Account key BSX is not movement type dependent. Instead, BSX is dependent on the valuation class of the material, so it won't show in OMJJ.
thanks,

**question regarding 3G and wif**.

I have a question regarding 3G and wifi. I have #G activated as well as wifi, when I go to retrieve mail for example I get a pop up asking me if I want to connect to a wifi network…should I have wifi and 3G activated at the same time, and why am I getting the pop up…
Thanks

You can have them on at the same time, but they will not be used at the same time for data. The order of preference for data is WiFi > 3G > EDGE > GPRS. You're getting the pop up, most likely, because you have Settings > Wi-Fi > Ask to Join Networks set to ON. You can set that to OFF, and the iPhone will still join known (i.e. previously used) WiFi networks automatically.

Question regarding Dashboard and column prompt

My question regarding Dashboard and column prompt:
1) Dashboard prompt usually work with only for columns which are in subject area. In my report I've created some of the columns which are based on other columns. Like I've daysNumber column that is based on two other columns, as it calculates the difference of two dates. When I create dashboard prompt I can't find this column there. I need to make a prompt on this column.
2)For one of the column I've only two values 1 and 0. When I create prompt for this column, is it possible that in drop down list It shows 'Yes' for 1 and 'No' for 0 and still filter the request??

Hi Toony,...
I think there was another way of doing this...
In the dashboard prompt go to Show option > select SQL Results from dropdown.
There you need to write your Logical SQL like...
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN PERIODS.YEAR ELSE difference of date functionality END FROM SubjectAreaName
Here.. Periods.Year is the column which is already exists in repository's presentation layer..
and difference of date functionality is the code or formula of column which you want to show in drop-down...
Also write the CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN PERIODS.YEAR ELSE difference of date functionality END code in fx of that prompt.
I think it helps you in doing this..
Just check and inform me if it works...
Thanks & Regards

A few questions regarding iPhoto conversion to light room

Some background. I use Yosemite, LR 5.7, and iPhoto '11. The iPhoto app has been used for organization only. All edits have been done in PS. No smart albums. The file system is simple using only albums, folders, and sub folders. The library contains JPEG, raw, tiff, and psd files. There are about 12k images. My questions:
1. Does it make any sense, or is it even possible, to migrate the library to LR one album at a time or is it still smarter to move it all at once?
2. Have the major issues with the importer now part of 5.7 been resolved since it was released last year as a stand-alone plug-in?
3. Is it now possible to move the psd and tiff files now? I read that originally they would not move. If not, is there a good work around such as moving them through bridge then through to LR?
4. I read somewhere that apple's upcoming photo app will make the import method to LR easier. Can this be true. I would guess it would be harder.
Thanks.. I appreciate all this community provides us.

Lightroom 6 is due very soon. It may be worth waiting to see if it includes an improved interface or plugin for iPhoto and Aperture.

Question Regarding MIDI and Sample Accuracy

Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding MIDI.
1. MIDI is moved by ticks. In the arrange window however, you can move a region by samples. When doing this, you can move within values of the ticks (which you can see on your position box that pops up) Now, will this MIDI note actually be played back at that specific sample point, or will it round the event to the closest tick? (example, if I have a MIDI note directly on 1.1.1.1, and I move the REGION in the arrange... will that MIDI note now fall on the sample that I have moved the region to, or will it be rounded to the closest tick?)
2. When making a midi template from an audio region, will the MIDI information land exactly on the sample of the transient, or will it be rounded to the closest tick?
I've looked through the manual, and couldn't find any specific answer to these questions.
Thanks!

Ok, I've done some experimenting, and here are my results.
I believe those numbers ARE samples. I came to this conclusion by counting (for some reason it starts on 11) and cutting a region to be 33 samples long (so, minus 11, is 22 actual samples). I then went to the Audio Bin window, and chose to view region length as samples. And there it said it: 22 samples. So, you can in fact move MIDI regions by samples!
Second, I wanted to see if the MIDI notes in the region itself would be quantized to the nearest tick. I cut a piece of audio, so it had a 1 sample attack (zoomed in asa far as I could in the sample editor, selected the smallest portion, and faded in, and made the start point, the region start position). I saved the region as a new audio file, and loaded it up in the exs sampler.
I then made a MIDI region, with and triggered the sample on beat 1 (quantized, on the money). I then went into the arrange window, made a fixed cycle length, and bounced the audio. I then moved the MIDI region by one sample to the right. I did this 22 times (which is the number of samples in a tick, at 120, apparently). After bouncing all of these (cycle position remained fixed, only the MIDI region was moving) I imported all the audio into the arrange on new tracks, and YES!!! The sample start was cascaded by a sample each time!
SO.
Not only can you move MIDI regions by sample, but the positions are NOT quantized to Logics ticks!
This is very good news, and glad I worked this out!
(if anyone thinks this sounds wrong, please correct me, but I'm pretty sure I proved it, in my test)

Question regarding homehub and Open reach router -...

Hi all,
I had infinity installed earlier this month and am happy with it so far. I do have a few questions regarding the service and hardware though.
I run both my BT openreach router and BT Home hub from the same power socket. The problem is, if I turn the plug on so both the Homehub and Openreach Router start up at the same time, the home hub will never get an Internet connection from the router. To solve this I have to turn the BT home hub on first and leave it for a minute, then start the router up and it all works fine. I'm just curious if this is the norm or do I have some faulty hardware?
Secondly, I appreciate the estimated speed BT quote isn't always accurate, I was quoted 49mbits down but received 38mbits down - Which I was happy with. Recently though it has dropped to 30. I am worried this might continue to drop over time. and as of present I am 20mbits down on the estimate . For the record 30mbits is actually fine and probably more than I would ever need. If I could boost it some how though I would be interested to hear from you.
Thanks, .

Just a clarification: the two boxes are the HomeHub (router, black) and the modem (white). The HomeHub has its own power switch, the modem doesn't.
There is something wrong if the HomeHub needs to be turned on before the modem. As others have said, in general best to leave the modem on all the time. You should be able to connect them up in any order, or together. (For example, I recently tripped the mains cutout, and when I restored power the modem and HomeHub went on together and everything was ok).
Check if the router can connect/disconnect from the broadband using the web interface. Leaving the modem and HomeHub on all the time, go to http://192.168.1.254/ on a browser on a connected computer, and see whether the Connect/Disconnect button works.

Question regarding IWDTree and context Value Node naming

Hi,
I have a question regarding the IWDTree / IWDTreeNodeType components.
I have a context looking like this:
Context
+ ResponseNode
    + PersonNode (1..1)
      + PersonAddressNode                    (empty node, placeholder)
      | + AdresNode (0..n)
      + PersonChildNode                      (empty node, placeholder)
      | + PersonNode (0..n)
      |   + PersonAddressNode                (empty node, placeholder)
      |     + AddressNode (0..n)
      + PersonParentsNode                    (empty node, placeholder)
        + PersonNode (0..n)
          + PersonAddressNode                (empty node, placeholder)
            + AddressNode (0..n)
The context represents a person, a person's address, and a person's children and parents with their respective addresses.
As a result, on different branches, a PersonNode and AddressNode can appear.
And for some strange reason, all PersonNodes and AddressNodes link to the same ResponseNode.PersonNode.PersonParentsNode.PersonNode and ResponseNode.PersonNode.PersonParentsNode.PersonNode.PersonAddressNode.AddressNode respectively, irregardless of their branch...
Is it illegal to have multiple PersonNode and AddressNode node names, and should they be named uniquely?

Generally, node names need to be unique inside the context, attributes in different nodes can have same names. I wonder if the context structure you described will result in code without compile errors.
The WD Tree can only be used with recursive context nodes or with a hierarchy of non-singleton child nodes.
Can you give an example how your tree should look like at runtime?

Question regarding battery and warranty

Hi all! I have a quick question about how and if my warranty applies to my battery. After about a year and a half of ownership (I have the three-year extended warranty), my battery has gone completely down the toilet. It wasn't a problem before, but this year I have to lug my T61p around a lot for lab work. My battery is now rated at... 39.75Wh when it shipped at 84.24Wh. This is a pretty drastic difference. In any case, I don't think that this is covered by warranty, but figured that I'd ask before I drop $180 on a new battery (ouch). And, speaking of, if my suspicions are correct, does anybody know where I might find a 9-cell battery for the T61p? All I'm seeing on Lenovo's website is the one for the N100... which doesn't... match very well. Yaknow.
Thanks a lot!
ThinkPad T61p [June 2008]: 2.5Ghz Penryn Core 2 Duo, 4GB DDR2 RAM, NVidia Quadro FX 570m 256MB, 160GB 7200RPM Fujitsu HDD, 1920x1200 WUXGA Matte LCD, Windows 7 RC1

Is either of these appropriate? I'm wary of the one on Amazon, as there are other (off-brand) batteries that are advertised as being Lenovo ones (though those generally sell for a lower price). The other one just looks like I'll have to call up to buy it.

Question regarding selectOneMenu and PROCESS_VALIDATIONS(3) phase

Hi im a bit lost regarding selectOneMenu and how validation phase all works together.
The thing is that i have a simple selectOneMenu
<h:form id="SearchForm">
     <h:panelGrid columns="3" border="0">
          <h:outputLabel id="caseTypeText" value="#{msg.searchCaseCaseType}" for="caseType" />
          <h:selectOneMenu id="caseType" value="#{searchCaseBean.caseType}" style="width: 200px;" binding="#{searchCaseBean.caseTypeSelect}">
               <f:selectItem itemValue="" itemLabel="#{msg.CommonTextAll}" />
               <f:selectItems value="#{searchCaseBean.caseTypes}" />
          </h:selectOneMenu>
          <h:message for="caseType" styleClass="errorMessage" />
          <h:panelGroup />
          <h:panelGroup />
          <h:commandButton action="#{searchCaseBean.actionSearch}" value="#{msg.buttonSearch}" />
     </h:panelGrid>
</h:form>Now when i hit submit button i can see that the bean method searchCaseBean.caseTypes (used in the <f:selectItems> tag) is executed in the PROCESS_VALIDATIONS(3) phase. How come? I dont whant this method to be executed in phase 3, only in phase 6.
If i add the this in the method if (FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getRenderResponse())
public List<SelectItem> getStepStatuses(){
     List<CaseStep> caseSteps = new ArrayList<CaseStep>();
     if (FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getRenderResponse()) {
          caseSteps = getCaseService().getCaseStep(value);
     List<SelectItem> selectItems = new ArrayList<SelectItem>(caseSteps.size());
     for(int i=0; i < caseSteps.size(); i++){
          CaseStep step = caseSteps.get(i);
          String stepStatus = step.getStatus() + "_" + step.getSubStatus();
          selectItems.add(new SelectItem(stepStatus, step.getShortName()));
     return selectItems;
} Now i get a validation error (javax.faces.component.UISelectOne.INVALID) for the select field and only phase1, phase2, phase 3 and phase 6 is executed.
Im lost?

I see. Many thanxs BalusC. Im using your blog very often, and its very helpfull for me.
I changed now to use the constructor load method instead. But know im getting problem of calling my service layer (Spring service bean). Its seems they havent been init when jsf bean is calling its constructor.
Can i init the spring service bean from the faces-config file?
JSF Bean
    public SearchCaseBean() {
          super();
                //caseService need to be init
          if(getCaseService() == null){
               setCaseService((CaseService)getWebApplicationContextBean("caseService"));
          fillCaseTypeSelectItems();
          fillCaseStatusSelectItems();
.....faces-config
<managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>searchCaseBean</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>portal.web.SearchCaseBean</managed-bean-class>

Few questions regarding Training and event management

Dear All,
Can you please help me with the following queries regarding Training and Event Management:
1. How to freeze a completed business event so that no changes to its record (like delete/update attendee details or event detail) is possible?
2. How to get feedback from attendee/faculty with a predefined format with rating (1-4 scale)
3. How to maintain department and category wise training man/hrs or training man/days?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Toa

Hi Toa,
1. Run report RHHISTO0 via SA38. Once the business event is flagged as "historical" no further changes can be done.
3. SM30 - T77S0 - Make the following swtiches active:
SEMIN AINST
SEMIN APART
Then when events are followed up, these training data is recorded to employee 2002 infotype. You can report on it via PT90 (for department-based selection use "Further selections")

Dilek

Managing Photos in iPhoto and Folders

So I am embarrassed. I have been deleting photos in iPhoto and ASSuming they are deleted in their 'home' folder - nope. Is there any way to force iPhoto to be a file manager and any photos that are not in the app are deleted? For the future, is there a method of deleting the photo in iPhoto that will also delete it off the computer?
Thanks!

No
iPhoto is a database and manages the photos in its library - deleting photos and emptying the iPhoto trash will totally delete the photo from the iPhoto library
iPhoto will not do anything with any photos outside the iPhoto library - either un-imported or imported to iPhoto using a referenced library (which is not recommended for many reasons)

Questions regarding iPhoto '08 and Elements 9

I would like to use iPhoto as my organizer and Elements 9 as my editor. My selected photo moves from iPhoto to Elements when I choose 'Edit', but I don't know how to move the photo back to iPhoto from the Elements editor.

Hi Barbara,
I went to PSE Preferences and changed the Saving Option to Save Over Current File. The photo did go into iPhoto in the edited version. I checked the library and the original is gone, just like I specified. This is all well and good IF I don't ever want the original version. Can it be saved without Deep Sixing the original forever (and still have it go to iPhoto upon saving it)? (Can I have my cake and eat it, too???)

Question Regarding Name and Address Clensing

Hello,
Can someone help me with understanding the Name and Address Cleansing operatior of OWB.
I am currently using OWB Client 9.2.0.2.8
Before using the Name and Address operator should you do any configuration for it to function? Based on the viewlet which i tried there were no configuration steps and once i finished doing the steps in the demo there were rows inserted but with *null data.
Is Trillium packaged with the OWB or should you still purchase it?
Thank You

Thank you for the information Mark, I still have another question.
Here is my situation:
I have been tasked to integrate a 3rd party DQ ventor to the name and address cleansing operator of OWB. In relation to that I have downloaded the OracleAdaptorKit provided by Oracle for such development. The problem is I still dont really understand how the whole thing works. My understanding is that once you use the Name and Address operator in a Map and execute the it OWB will call the Name and Address Server which will trigger the Adaptor (which should be created by the vendor or me in this case) that will do the Parse() function based on the libraries of the 3rd party DQ vendor. Is my understanding correct?
My second question is on how will the Name and Address Engine call the Adaptor(JAVA applet?) which will use the Parse() function and what are the values that Name and Address Engine throw to the Adaptor? And how will you know if you have successfully created a connection between the Name and Address Engine and the Adaptor you created?
My third question is in regards to the components to be created. So given that the Name and Address Engine is by default installed with OWB does that mean that the only thing left to program are the Adaptor and Libraries?
I hope you can help me, Thank You
