Rearranging complete sections of work within my project
How can I move complete sections (photos, overlays & audio) to another area in my project. Example... I want to move the last section into the middle. I am able to move the photos but I can't get the audio and the text overlay. I know I can add clips etc. before and after but my project is rather big so it would be easier to grab the entire section and move it into place, if possible?
Can I save a project as an Event so I can use it in another project? I have tried to import an existing project but it is greyed out so I can't select it. Thank you for your help.
I'm not sure what you mean by freezing?
Are you saying that when you play the edit some clips are just still frames?
Have you tried to export the video to the camera roll, and see if the final render still has this issue?
Also you could try to export the project to itunes.
Then rename it and import it back into iMovie.
This may fix damaged links.
But be sure to keep the old cut just in case.
Also you can just change the iMovie iOS project extension to .zip, and uncompress the project.
Check if all the videos are there, maybe one is corrupt?
I'm not hearing many good stories of people editing long form projects on iMovie iOS.
I think it really was made for shorter edits.
Here is an idea that you could try for a shorter project.
Export to itunes.
Rename your project.
import the saved project into iMovie iOS.
Find a suitable halfway point.
Delete everything after the halfway mark.
rename as "part 1"
Export the video.
Import the saved project again.
Find the halfway mark and delete all the start.
Rename as "part 2"
Export the video.
See if both work.
Load them onto your computer and open in Quicktime 7.
Copy "part 2", paste into end of "part 1",
and save the final full video.
Long work around.
But well worth editing in parts rather then trying to tax a phone or iPad processor with a massive project.

I'm running out of internal disk space on my iMac. I want to move the iMovie (10.0.8) library over to an external disk that has only a USB 3.0 connection. But my iMac has only USB 2.0 ports. When iMovie operates, does it load a project into memory, and do all the work there, or does it bang on the library often while I'm working on the project, so that it would slow down project work? I have a hunch that it does frequent saves during work automatically to disk, which would slow things down a lot.
External disk speed is quite important especially if you have limited RAM since less can be transferred to memory and more has to be read and written back to disk. Your disk will run at USB 2 speed which is not fast but should work. (A Firewire 800 disk would have been better assuming your Mac has this). If you haven't already, update your RAM to the maximum.

Track completion of embedded swf within captivate project
I have a swf created within captivate 4 which is a traiining simulation. Now I want to embed this simulation on a screen within a new host captivate project and enable the next progress button only when the embedded training simulation is done. What is a good way to do this?
While trying different options, a problem I am running into is the embedded training simulation does not close when all the interactivity is done even if the swf publish options are set to close upon completion. It wants to run for a set time. Any ideas are much appreciated.Hi Gaspar,
Are you using a preloader for the project? If so, the default
one in Captivate waits for 60% of the project to load before
playing. Perhaps try to add the preloader if you aren't using one,
or remove it if you are to see if that makes a difference. In
Captivate 3, you can change this option in Preferences -->
Project --> Start and End --> Loading Screen.
Good luck,
David
Edit: I just tried this too and got the same results when
publishing with all versions of Flash - I was a little surprised to
see it even with Flash 7 exports, because Captivate has let me
embed .swf animations into a single .swf project file using Flash
7. I'm guessing that whatever Flash "engine" Captivate uses to
create its own FMV .swfs must be Flash 8 or 9. That would be
something that would be nice to adjust - especially because of the
lack of the ability to merge .swf files into one file. I guess I'll
send a feature request again... -
I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.
That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums. Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image. You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example). You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
The easy way 'round:
- Make a new Book Album
- Select Images you may want to put in your Book. Flag them.
- Select some more. Flag them.
- Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
- Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key. This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication. The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself. The Book Album also holds the Book.
A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
The User Manual is helpful. Here is
the chapter on making Books.
From that chapter, here is
the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album. -
How to view long file names and sort files within folders/projects?
Hello, like so many people here, I am a new mac user, but certainly not computer illiterate. I have been a professional photographer for 10 years and recently change to mac and have been slowly trying to adapt my work flow accordingly.
However I have become increasingly frustrated with Aperture 3 and after reading posts here it looks like I am certainly not the only person. While in my case I am sure it is because of my inexperience with mac systems so any guidance or assistance is much appreciated.
Hopefully my questions are simple. I have been importing my images and re-naming images as I do so. A very simple combination of date, custom name, and counter. However, when I look at the images once the import has completed, they are not in any logical order within the 'project'. I have tried to sort them by file name, orientation, file size, etc, both ascending and descending, but they will not list in the correct order. eg the file '2010-03-09 Lyon France 001', continually falls between '2010-03-09 Lyon France 022' and '....021'.
This has also lead me to a further question. While my file names can generally be read when the image is a landscape format, on the portrait images the file name it too long for me to read the whole name, and I can not find anyway to read the file name, eg browser, split screen, viewer, or full screen.
Im sorry for all the details, and I am sure it is just my lack of experience, so appreciate your help.
PS. On a separate note, I notice on another thread from the frustrated user 'ultratechy' that he got a reply from Tony who stated 'Also after installing any application you should always run disk utility and repair permissions....' Now as I am completely new to mac, I had no idea about this. Any other tips that I should always be aware of? Thanks again.Thanks for your reply Calx. If it makes you feel better, I am actually a New South Welshman - just living in the sunshine state!
You are correct, I am trying to get my head around a new way of working and thinking, but I suppose it will all become clearer as time goes by. I have re-visited the manual many times, and been doing loads of research online, but just trying to put it all into practice now, so any tips or advice is always appreciated.
At the moment, I am just working with a small part of my library until I do get my head around things before moving onto the bulk of my images. I have my images stored and backed up on multiple external hard drives. I am trying to import my images into aperture from an external drive as I have been slack over the years with keywording, metadata, organising, etc etc, so I figure from what I have read that aperture may assist me with making these time consuming tasks a bit quicker and easier.
I have put a bit of thought into my filing structure, but I am sure that with further use and understanding, this may change in the future, but I hope not. To give you an example of how I am thinking and working - I have used folders for my regular clients, eg, Ray White, and then made another level of folders within 'Ray White' for the date, and then in each 'date folder' I place my projects and name them with the address of the property I have photographed. I select and edit images from each project and place them in albums under each project. Not sure if this is the most perfect structure, but any advice is welcome.
Keywords is always an issue with me. Over the years I have compiled a number of list for each client and each 'type' of photography. For example, real estate images have there own list, I just simply manually add keywords for specific jobs, eg the address and any specific location or features.
Again, advice and guidance always welcome and I would appreciate how you go about these topics? And maybe you can help explain something that I have pre-emted may be a problem, and it may happen when I move onto my larger library, and I am not sure how to explain this as it may show my lack of management previously. When I worked on my PC, I used PS4, Adobe Bridge and Camera RAW pretty much exclusively. For my landscape images for example, I might have 2 or 3 variations of the one images, eg, black and white, sepia, and color for instance. But the file name remained the same, I just stored them in different folders indicating what version of the image was stored there. Now I am thinking that when I import images in Aperture, I will come across difficulties because Aperture will think the I am importing duplicate images because I will in fact have 3 images with the same file name, even though the adjustments I have made to them are different. Is this the case? Will I have to make adjustments again? Will I have to change the name of the files prior to importing? If so, any advice or tips?
Well, I should stop there. Im sorry to bombard you with some much text, but as mentioned, I am new, and finding my feet, so thanks for your time. -
Multiple Assessments within one project
Hi,
Currently working on a project where I'd like to have 3
assessments built in to the same project. The criteria I'd like to
set is:
On the first assessment, they need to pass to progress
On the second they need to pass to progress
On the third they get a total score and marked as compentent
to complete.
Is this possible?
Cheers,
DeanPR_098 - WELCOME to the all volunteer board. There is one
cumulative score given at the end. There are not sub-scores.
However, you might be able to say "you passed phase 1 and your
score is 33.33% or 100% for that section. But that would be only
one question giving you that ability. Then it would continue and
score the next part the same way. At the end you would get the
number of questions and the overall score. But I think you would be
asking several questions per subsection and that would make this
not work.
If you were using an LMS, then you would just break this into
courses that link to each other. A passes assessment would go to
the end and a failed assessment would take users to the next
learning module. At the end you would have individual scores., but
you might be able to score a sub-module as a collective course with
an LMS. I don't see this as a shortcoming of Captivate because it
is not an LMS, yet it has a built-in Quiz module.
Regarding the first post here by happystar73, that is
possible, but the course would move on and score it at the end. I
have designed several courses with:
Slide 1
Slide 2
Slide 3
Slide 4
Quiz-Slide 5 - On fail go to slide 6 on pass go to slide 7.
Slide 6 Failure - message, hints, etc then on Next> Back
to Slide 1
Slide 7
Slide 8
Quiz Slide 9 - On fail go to slide 10 on pass go to slide
11.
Slide 10 Failure - message, hints, etc then on Next> Back
to Slide 7
Slide 11 End / Score
Notice the pattern. This is what is needed to loop-back in
Captivate 2 (I don't have Captivate 3 due to ongoing bugs that must
be fixed before I agree to upgrade). The loop-back that goes
forward first is the only way that I can get multiple answer
Multi-Choice questions to reset / clear for another try in
Captivate 2. I usually set the maximum attempts at 10 or 20 when I
do this (in the overall Quiz settings and in the Quiz slide
settings and the user MUST take the Quizzes to continue).
If you add to the above the Captivate 3 functionality for
Quiz Pools and randomizing of answers, then you have something more
dynamic. It still produces only one final set of results.
The final method is to link several courses together where
one calls another. But the scoring sould be presentation and not
cumulative.
More advanced users can use SCORM SCO editing tools and
modify the behavior to allow multiple SCO's. There are tools that
assist with this and one of the local (board) SCORM Guru's recently
posted a website that has all of those tools.
I think I just restated what is in many other posts on this
site. However, Captivate is a fantastic screen capture tool for
software simulations, demos and software proficiency assessments.
When you are doing more of a PowerPoint and sound enabled
presentation and need strict SCORM compliance, there are other
options available (generally at a higher price).
Best of luck to you on your projects.

Can't get OS9 to work within OSX Tiger
Has anyone had success using OS9 within the newest Tiger? I have a favorite app that requires OS9 to work and the instructions in my Mac are vague about how to install the old operating system to have it work within OSX.
I recently did a complete wipe of my hard drive and installed the latest Tiger OS. I created two partitions for the hard drive. I used the single disc OS9 install CD (the one that came with my Powerbook a few years ago) and successfully went through the install process using the second partition, the one that OSX is not on. The OS9 system folder does appear in the partition list of items.
When I click on the app I want to use, the OS9 window pops up and says "Classic starting up using 'system folder' on 'untitled 2' (that's the partition name. The problem is that OS9 never completes starting up and I'm not able to use my app. I've waited ten+ minutes and OS still hasn't completed starting up.
Can anyone help?
JohnJohn, try this:
1) Go to System Preferences -> Classic -> Start/Stop tab. Make sure the OS 9 System Folder is the one you want. (Hover the pointer over the selected one to see its location. Make sure it is the one on the 'untitled 2' partition, for example.)
2) Leave the pref open -- you will need it again shortly.
3) Open Disk Utilty. From its "File" menu select "Fix OS 9 permissions." This will repair OS X permissions on the OS 9 install you selected above. You can now quit Disk Utility.
4) Back in Classic preferences, select the "Advanced" tab. Click the "Rebuild Desktop" button. Select the volume from step 1 & Click "Rebuild." (This step is just for good measure & not strictly necessary.)
5) In the top section labeled "Startup and other options" make sure "Turn off extensions" is selected, then click the "Start Classic" button next to it. (This is the most important step.)
If Classic now starts up with no problems, what you have is an old fashioned extension conflict. If so, stop Classic & switch to "Open Extension Manager" in the "Startup and other options" section, restart Classic & select one of the top two sets in Extensions Manager, next to the "Selected Set:" text. (These are the standard 'All' & 'Base' sets.)
If Classic now finishes starting up, you will have to do the old process of elimination routine to find the conflicting extension(s).
BTW, to boot into OS 9 from the partition, you must have an OS 9 boot driver on the drive (not volume) you boot from. You can make sure that is there with Disk Utility. Select the drive (not the volume) & click the blue "Info" button. Look for the line in the info window that pops up that says "Mac OS 9 Drivers Installed :" -- you want it to say "yes." -
How do you order topics within the Project Manager?
Hi all,
I notice that the workflow in RH is that first you use the
Project Manager (PM) to build a sort of structured topic database,
and then you use the database to generate a TOC.
Ok, so far so good, but the immediate little issue I am
having is that I see that the PM arranges my topics within each
folder in alphabetical order. Since, by default, the TOC is
generated with the topics in this default order, I would like to
change the order in which the topics are arranged within the PM. I
don't seem to find any way to do this. I can't drag and there are
no Move buttons for this pod. What am I missing?
TIA
- aviHi Avi
You aren't missing anything. That's the way it works with the
Project Manager Pod. It simply lists your topic files in
alphabetical order.
For starters, I would never recommend that anyone always
automatically create the TOC. I might suggest using that only as a
first step in building a TOC. After it has been built initially,
any added or amended topics would then be manually added and
rearranged by you after the changes have been made.
Unless you are happy with things that way (and I assume you
aren't as you are posting to ask how to make it different) you will
find yourself constantly frustrated. Note that if you auto create
the TOC, you get ALL topics inside. And in many help files there
are topics that never see the light of day in the TOC structure.
All that aside, I do see a great many folks that want to have
an ability to arrange topics in their Project Manager pod as they
want. For you and anyone else that wants this, you should consider
submitting a Wish Form to ask for the feature.

Table of Contents & Completed Sections
Hi all, just generally looking for some advice here.
I am developing some e-learning. For now, let's assume there is no quizzing element in the e-learning. It's just a linear bit of e-learning, the user needs to read the information on each slide, click Next, go to the next slide, etc, and so on. Let's assume the e-learning module essentially contains four sections (let's call them Introduction, Learn, Try and Conclusion). FYI, the e-learning will be hosted in the Cornerstone OnDemand LMS.
I want users to have some visual indicator which shows that they have completed each section. I realise I could use the Table of Contents to show this to some degree, and that's explored in Method 2, but I'd like your advice on Method 1:
Method 1: I'd like the e-learning to launch on a Home slide I would create, which contains links to the four sections: Introduction, Learn, Try and Conclusion. As the user completes each section, they are prompted to return to the Home slide. Each time they complete a section and return to the Home slide, I would like a green tick to appear next to each completed section to indicate that they have completed that section. It's important that the user is able to log out of the e-learning and return and the sections they have already completed still show as completed (indicated by the green tick). I assume I'd need to use some sort of advanced actions. Is this even possible within Captivate?
Method 2: I realise I could use the Table of Contents, and that might well be simpler. However, I'd prefer the method described in Method 1, because I have much greater control over the content. However, if I have to use the ToC, I'd like to know the best way to show the section completion status. I know that I have to group the slides into a folder in the ToC, so for example I might group slides 2-10 in the Introduction folder, slides 11-20 in the Learn folder, slides 21-30 in the Try folder and slides 31-40 in the Conclusion folder, however each once each section is completed by the user (normally indicated in the ToC by a green tick), this isn't shown as complete in the ToC. The reason for this, is that I want the user to see the section in the ToC, but not the individual slides, and it appears a section is only shown as completed in the ToC if I show one or more slidesin that section. Is there any way around this limitation?
I'd much prefer to explore Method 1, but Method 2 is certainly viable if I can overcome the limitation described above.
I'm developing in both Captivate 4 and Captivate 5 - I prefer Cp4, but happy to revert to Cp5 if that's where the solution lies. Thanks all for any and all advice given!Hello,
Perhaps my blog post can help you? I offer a free template as well (it is for CP5), provided you send me an email address (can be done by private message):

How can I adjust a small section of sound within a clip?
I'm working with Mavericks, iMovie 10.0.5 on OSX 10.9.4. I want to lower a small section of sound within a video clip without having to lower sound for the entire clip. I could do this in the previous iMovie version. How can I do this now?
Hold down the Option key and double-click on the audio volume level line. That will add a control point where you can adjust the volume on either side. Add more control points such that you can set the level to what you want where you want.

Javascript For loop not working within a function
Hi all,
I'm a beginner to LiveCycle and I cant seem to get a loop working within a function. The function is being called successfully because when I manually create the code it works but I am trying to clean things up.
So here is my working example:
function hideContent() {
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table1.presence = "hidden";
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table2.presence = "hidden";
... and so on....
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table8.Row1.presence = "hidden";
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table8.Row2.presence = "hidden";
... and so on....
However when I try and creat a loop instead of listing every sing table/row nothing happens. this is important to my project as there will be alot of different rows depending on radio button selections earlier in the form. Below is the current state of my code:
function hideContent() {
var i=0;
for (i=1;i<=5;i++)
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table[i].presence = "hidden";
var j=0;
for (j=1;j<=23;j++)
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table8.Row[j].presence = "hidden";
var k=0;
for (k=24;k<=88;k++)
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table8.Row[k].presence = "hidden";
this will then continue as there will be hundreds of rows.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and I am sure I am making a basic error so thanks in advance.
jthanks for your help paul. Again, really appreciated as I know very little about all this.
Unfortunately its still not working... One thing I am sure of is that I am doing something very basic wrong. So here is my code, I have applied your suggestion above which will cover all my data:
To give an understanding, I have 5 tables of content, each has i amount of rows. and I am running this script to clear/remove all items being displayed.
function hideContent() {
for (var i=1;i<=5;i++)
xfa.resolveNode("MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table[" + i + "]").presence = "hidden";
for (var i=1;i<=71;i++)
xfa.resolveNode("MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table8.Row[" + i + "]").presence = "hidden";
for (var i=1;i<=93;i++)
xfa.resolveNode("MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table9.Row[" + i + "]").presence = "hidden";
for (var i=1;i<=99;i++)
xfa.resolveNode("MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table10.Row[" + i + "]").presence = "hidden";
for (var i=1;i<=101;i++)
xfa.resolveNode("MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table11.Row[" + i + "]").presence = "hidden";
for (var i=1;i<=87;i++)
xfa.resolveNode("MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table12.Row[" + i + "]").presence = "hidden";
It has to be something to do with my For loops because if I manually insert each line it works perfectly.
Thanks again,

Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. 1) The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming), 2) I used to be able to duplicate a folder within my sheet panel window by simply clicking on a folder and hitting Command D, but that doesn't work now so it looks like I'll have to spend even more time to recreate the same tables that used to be easily duplicated, and 3) I can't choose fill colors that matched my project anymore because there are only limited choices available now. And these are only the changes that I'm aware of. I am very disappointed and frustrated. Whatever the motivation was to limit Numbers 3.2, I want the previous version back. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?
The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming),
You can scroll more quickly between sheets if you don't use the left-right triangles, but instead move the cursor up into the bands with the "tabs" and drag right or left.
Also, if you have a lot if sheets for which you want a quick vertical list, then you can try the following have something like this pop up (showing your sheet names automatically) whenever you hit a keyboard shortcut (in my case shift-command-j):
This is done via a Jump to Sheet Automator Service (Dropbox download). To install just doubleclick the .workflow package and (if needed) click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
This will cause a new item to appear in your Numbers > Services menu. Then, if you want a keyboard shortcut, go here in System Preferences and add one:
You can rename or remove the service by holding down the option key in Finder and choosing Go > Library > Services. You can also view the AppleScript contaned within the service by opening the .workflow package in Automator.
This particular service jumps to the first cell of the first table of the sheet you choose from an automatically generated list of all sheets in the current document.

Updating Start, Finish % Complete from excel file to Ms Project
Hi - This is my first post on this forum which i see is a great way to share knowledge.
I’m having a schedule which has around 3000 lines with resources names and a Responsible Person ( where individual resources
report to) updated on the schedule.
I need to work out a good way to get schedule updates from different parties in a efficient way.
My thoughts are to make a solution to generate the tasks which needs to be updated based on the status date and generate a individual excel files for each responsible person and get
their updates back in excel and update the dates and % complete back to the MS Project schedule.<o:p></o:p>
The steps
a) create a filter to list all the tasks which need to be updated based status date ( tasks which are in progress, tasks in the past which have not started yet,
tasks in the past which have finished etc) grouped as per responsible person and create separate excel files for each responsible person.
b) the excel file will contain ( UID, Task name, start date, finish date, %complete, resource name, responsible person)
c) I would like to email these excel files to each responsible person and get their updates for (start date, finish date, %complete)
d) Create a VBA macro to let the user to select the updated excel file and update the data back to MS Project file.
Conditions while updating
a)
Read the Excel file from Top to bottom and find the correct record based on the UID and update the "duration" in order to change dates as below
b)
IF Task has started ( the excel file contains % complete and a new start date later than the MS Project start date)
Update MS Project file ( Actual Start date and % Complete)
c)
IF Task has started as Scheduled ( the excel file contain % complete and the excel file start date is equal to MS Project start date)
Update MS Project file ( Actual Start date and % Complete)
d)
IF Task has started and finished as Scheduled ( The excel file start and finish dates are equal to MS Project file but excel file % complete is now 100%)
Update MS Project File ( Actual Start, Actual Finish and Update % Complete 100%)
e)
If Start date of the task has been rescheduled to a future date ( If Excel file start date is > that Ms project start date and excel file % complete is 0)
Update the MS Project file and inset a lag to match the excel file start date.
I would like to know whether this would be a feasible solutions and if some of you have implemented this kind of thing please share some code snippets.
Thanks a lotHi John, I've managed to progress further on the code and Split the records as per supervisor and create excel file and email to supervisor.
However I ran into 2 problems
1) The code works some time without any error and some times it stalls. I have managed to narrow it down to the sorting code block on the
ExportTaskstobeUpdated mehod where it Selects the Active work book which has all the data based on the filter and Sorts according to Supervisor Name+ Resource Name
I have made the error code Bold and Italic
The error I'm getting is
Run-time error '1004'
Method'Range' of object'_Global' failed
2) Currently I'm creating the Master Excel file which is generated by the
ExportTaskstobeUpdated method and splitting them and creating all the splits + the Master excel file to a hard coded locationwhich is C:GESProjectEmail folder
When Saving it Prompts to Over wright the existing files , I don't need any prompts coming out for the user.
I've tried using the Application.DisplayAlearts=False but it does not work for me.
In order to overcome this , I created a routine to delete the files after the files have been emailed/Saved as draft but that too fails to delete the original Master excel file.
Is there a way to generate the excel files on the fly and without saving can I attach it to the email ?
Or would like to know your thoughts on a better way to handle this.

Hi All,
There is an error during settlement -
> CJ88 from a long time. My settlement structure is like Network to WBS, Lower WBS to Superior WBS, Level1 WBS to AuC and finally to FXA.
My availability control is active after CJ30.
Now when settling within the project system throws error.... Budget exceeded for items and exceeded by the assigned value. Fine I found out OSS Note--->159850 which details the reason why it is behaving so.
Now after reading this note I am trying out both the possibilities mentioned there...
1.Deactivate availability control which is not recommended.
2.In CJ30 only do budgeting for top WBS..
3.Exempt Settlement Cost element from Availability Control(but we are using Cost Element groups -
> All Primary and Secondary Cost Elements) Tr--OPTK.which is also a problem
I need a work around if anybody can help...the simplest way to remove such error during settlement.this has nothing to do with the cost element group
when you settle
you can either use the original cost element OR you can use settlement cost element (type 21 or type 22) - these are usually one or 2 and not the same as your chart of accounts
these settlement cost elements should be entered in OPTK
if you use original cost elements then you have an issue as you cannot use OPTK else the original cost itself would become exempt from budget check -
Changing an album within a project book
How do I change to a different album within a project. I am making a photo book with iPhoto and it loaded an album that I wanted to work with. However, there are albums that have photos I wanted added to this project. I have tried dragging and dropping and that didn't work, I have tried double clicking and that didn't work, all it did was open the album in iPhoto, not on the project book "timeline" of photos to choose from.
CLaireI have a project with 40 images and a second project with 85 images; how can I create an album in the first project
To create an album in the first project, select the project in Library view and use the command "File > New > Album".
If you create an album, you can drag images from any project to it - so the album can hold images from both your projects. But if you want to keep the images from the second project in the album, you must not delete the second project. Each image needs to reside in exactly one project. Albums only use images, they don't store them. See Kirby Krieger's excellent User Tip on the mysteries of albums and projects:
The Well-Trod Path: a Beginner's Guide to how Aperture's major parts inter-relate
If you want to delete the second project, but keep the images in your library and use them in an album, drag the images from the second project to another project. And only then delete the second project, if you do not need it.

Léonie
