Re size pictures in batch without using version copies?

I have been going through my catalog & find hundreds of old pictures what I should delete as they will almost certainly never be looked at or used again. If they were to be reused I could probably only need a copy that was much smaller in size. Rather than just delete them I was considering making the files size much smaller.
Is there any way yo use the batch processing tool to resize hundreds & have them saved by overwriting the old copy rather than have them as a version set? I didn't want to do this one at a time.
Thanks in advance

Here is one way :
- assign a common tag to all files to be downsized (downsized for instance)
- With this tag, you can select all pictures at the same time
- suggestion : since you may have ratings or tag in the original files, you could 'write metadata to files'
- Use the export as new file feature of the Organizer to export them in a new folder
- Once that is done, you can use the delete feature of the Organizer to delete the originals from the catalog and the drive.

IPhoto version 4 wont open pictures burned on CD using version 5?

i have a G5 iSight PowerPC and my girlfriend a G4 ibook (2004). I downloaded our vacation pics from my camera to my G5 using iPhoto v5.0.4 and accidentally erased my camera's memory card after the download. So - I thought I'd burn a disc with the new photos and then import them onto her G4 (which uses iPhoto v 4.0.3). Everytime I insert the photo disc into the G4 I get a message saying iPhoto cannot open album as it was created using a later version of iPhoto.
I'm stuck since she cannot get our vacation pics onto her computer ! Can anyone help? Thanks in advance..
iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.7) compatibility, versions, iPhoto v4 , v5
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

iPhoto 5 is perfectly capable of exporting photos to a folder on your desktop. Just drag the selected images from iPhoto to the target folder. Burn that folder to a CD, and you can share it with anyone who has a computer with a functioning CD drive.

Finding Size Of Folders Quickly Without Using Additional Apps?

Occasionally I need to find which are the largest items in a folder containing maybe 50 or more files/folders.
Clicking the "Size" column header instantly sorts out the files into order of size, but the folders, which may contain many gigabytes of material, do not register as having any size.
I can of course open each folder but as there are often a great many this would be time-consuming and tedious.
Is there a quick way round this problem which will enable me to either view the sizes of all the folders or at least open them all so that the sizes of the files contained can be seen.
Note that I have several apps (WhatSize etc.) for sorting out the size of every file on the computer but these tend to take some time.
I want to know if there is a simple, instantaneous way, not involving having to open another app.

If you have every folder calculate folder sizes, it will churn your disk a lot, which will both show down your system, and add wear & tear to your disk.
If you are looking for stuff based on size, then doing this for a short period of time makes sense, but when you are finished, it would be wise to turn calculate folder sizes off again.
I was wondering WHY doing this would put such a great strain on the disk, since this process is only something that would occur when you first start up, or open a new finder window, no?
Why is calculating sizes any more of a load than any listing of data?

Insert picture and sound without external sources

how can we insert pictures and sound without using external sources??
i mean , i want to make the picture somehow embeded inside the program, not from external source,
can any1 help?/

I sense that what you need to do is create a Jar (java archive) file for your code and images and any other resources. Do a search on the forum for the terms -- jar pictures getresource -- and you'll get a ton of helpful threads. Also check Google. Some useful links:

Using Frontrow without using iPhoto

Hi!
Can I see my pictures in Frontrow without using iPhoto? I just want to put my pictures in Finder...
Thanks

No, the photo displays goes through iPhoto the same way the music plays through iTunes. It's built-in that way. However, you could use a third party utility to play your pictures without iPhoto. Media Central will give you a Front Row-like interface and play pictures without iPhoto.

Can i make a book in iPhoto without using any of the built in layout templates, which are too limiting when i have already cropped my pictures to show just what I want. Ideally I just want to drag and drop and arrange and size the pictures myself

If you have Pages you can create customs pages for your book as TD suggested. If you have Pages from iWork 09 or 11 this app will add 80 or so additional frames to those offered: Frames and Strokes Installer. Don't use it on the latest Pages version, however.
This tutorial shows how to create a custom page with the theme's background: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book. Once the page is complete to get it into iPhoto as a jpeg file follow these steps:
Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
NOTE: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. For books to be printed choose 300 dpi.

The drop down menus in Photoshop CC 2014 are too small to read without using the magnifier. They are OK in Photoshop CC. I have been unable to find anyplace to adjust the font size. I have Windows 7 Pro. Looking at the Photoshop version history, it looks like this problem comes and goes as Photoshop is updated. It should be an easy fix.

I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event and the number of pictures.

Hello,
I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event with the event title, the number of pictures and the pictures itselve as small thumbnails. BUt ounce I want to open the event to see the pictures in full screen the event title annouces 0 pictures and no pictures are visble anymore to mee. I have checked if the pictures are marked as hidden and this is not the case. What's going wrong. All the other events are visible in a normal way.
The albums with the same pictures into them are visible.
Thanks for your help,
Raf

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.

I can no longer import pictures to my ibook (OSX version 10.6.8) using iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 and now get message that file is in an unrecognizable format. What is wrong? Same camera as before.

I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

Connecting Apple TV device and Macbook Air (early version) without using a TV

Hei,
I am trying to set up my home cinema using a projector and not a TV. I have a Macbook Air early 2011 version (the one where you can only stream directly from Itunes and use a third party device to play the rest) that I am trying to connect this device to the apple tv device - but as said without using a tv. I have speakers with a console where you can run an optical digital cable from the console to the Apple TV (as this will then give me sorround sound as opposed to the airport express that has not got this option). However my computer and projector is on the other side of the room so I want to be able to wirelessly connect to my speakers via my computer.
All set up guides with the apple tv involves connecting the apple tv device and a TV with an HDMI cable. As I am not using a TV and I am not connecting the apple tv device and my projector only aiming to stream sound to the speakers to the Apple TV device I am at a loss in terms of what I need to do. Can anybody help?
Thank you!

Airplay requires both devices to be connected to the same network (wired or wireless).

Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

Hello Apple.
It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed? (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.

i have all my pictures in an external drive (around 1tb), how do i create a library in iphoto without using my internal drive space? thanks!

In iPhoto use the command "File > Switch to Library" and then click "Create New" in the Library Chooser panel.
Select a folder on your external drive as the destination.
You can also get to this panel by holding down the alt/options key when you launch iPhoto.

"Create alternate versions without using extra disk space" Really?

"Create alternate versions without using extra disk space" says Apple. But is that really true? Because, from what I understand, for Aperture's OS Integration (with the Media Browser) to work, Aperture has to render Previews of all your photos first. So, any alternate versions that you create, do exist on your Hard Drive in the form of an actual file (e.g. a JPEG).

As Ian notes, it's smaller than a RAW - also smaller than an alternate PSD you might make, or duplicating a background layer in a PSD.
Also though, you don't have to have previews for everything - I find what I do is leave automatic preview generation turned off and then just generate previews for images that I like the end result of. This lets you explore alternate versions with essentially no addition space used.
