Removing all the hidden data from photos

If I export a photo to share, I often want to remove all the extra hidden stored data such as date taken exposures etc. Is this easy?
Rod

Hi rod,
By accident I found that a little app I use (ImageWell) to add connotations and text to my screenshots also strips most if not all the EXIF data from an image that you drag out of the Image well.
I just checked it out again. I dragged an image into the well, changed the name of the image and dragged it out. The EXIF data was gone when I opened it with Preview and did Tools/Get info.

Is it possible to remove or edit gps data from photos?

Just listened to a Mac Roundtable podcast and they were talking about removing or editing gps data from photos taken with an iPhone but they never explained how to do it.
Is it possible to remove or edit out latitude and longitude info from photo files?

Thanks for this, though after looking at it I'm not too inclined to use an app that requires getting into the terminal. Way too technical for me. But thanks.

My Laptop with Synced Firefox crashed and i had to do a fresh install, how can i retrieve all the synced data from the Mozilla Servers

I had set up Firefox sync on my Windows 7 Laptop which crashed and I had to reinstall windows. I used to be able to share content with my Firefox synced Android too. Is there a way i can retrieve the synced data from the Mozilla servers? I tried to set up sync on my new installation on a Mac 10.6 but when i click on Set-up Sync it asks me:
# Set-up new sync account (i already have one)
# I already have a sync account
When i select the second option it tells me to Add a device. I went in the "Sync Options" and tried the replace all data on this computer with my sync data, but nothing happened. When i try to connect from my Android it also asks me to add a device with the 3 boxes with letters in them.
So in both the cases it is asking me to "Add a device" but i cannot connect to my sync account in either case to sync data from there

Please search the forums. This has been covered here extensively.

IPhone 4s update was interrupted and message said phone had to be reset to factory settings. Lost all photos from phone in process of transferring to pc. Copy of my backup overroad that phone and all the old data and photos are gone.

My boyfriend and I share an iTunes account. I just tried to update his phone and during the update an error message occurred saying that his phone had to be reset to factory settings. It said it was an un setup phone and needed plugged in to iTunes. With no other choice, we had to select reset to factory settings. Now, my phone backup through iCloud downloaded onto his and all of his contacts and photos were overridden by mine. His photos were in process of transferring from the phone to the pc while this occurred and over 900 of them were complete when this happened. They don't show up on the pc now either since the sycn wasn't finished. Is there a way to get them back? When we plug his phone in now it shows my name instead of his so I'm not sure how to get to an old version of his backups even.

Error -1 indicates a hardware issue with the device.

The device should still have warranty but unfortunately any service needs to be done in the US.

Is it possible for you to send the device home and have a family member take it to the Apple Store?

How can I remove all Time Machine data from an external HD, while retaining the other folders/files on the disk?

I recently replaced my old Macbook Pro with a new Macbook Pro Retina.
The original MBP had Time Machine set up on an external HD, and I also had some manually saved/backed up files (stuff that didn't need incremental backups; very old stuff) on the disk as well, in folders. This worked fine and well for the life of the original MBP.
When I set up the MBPr, I did not elect to transfer everything over from a Time Machine disk, as I wanted a Fresh Install; I chose to just re-download/install the apps I needed from the App Store. Much cleaner, more stable. I updated to Yosemite immediately so, it gave me more of a clean install.
The problem is, Time Machine now won't read any Time Machine backups from that disk. Migration assistant can pull data from it, but it's a bit wonky. It was easier to just manually copy over what I needed.
Now, I just want to "reset", and completely remove the old Time Machine data from the external hard drive, since it is completely useless to me now (I can't access it on this computer, and it's taking up space). I want to remove the Time Machine data, as if it were never there, but keep my other folders/files that are on the disk (so, a format is not feasible).
I will then set the disk up as a new, fresh Time Machine disk for the new MBPr.
What is the proper method for removing Time Machine data from an external disk (which doesn't seem to be associated with this machine anyway)? I know a simple rm -rf will cause problems.
Thanks for any help provided.

I have succesfully migrated my data from my 2006 MacBook to a new 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I delete ALL of my personal data from the MacBook so my girlfriend can use it to support iTunes and her iPod?

Order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 from The Apple Store as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

HT1451 All of a sudden my entire music library (except for songs purchased) disappeared from my windows 8 computer. When I try to re-sync my Iphone or Ipad I get a message that by syncing I will remove all the songs (~1250) from my devices.

How the heck do I get my music back onto my windows 8 computer from my Ipad or Iphone. All of a sudden all my music (except for purchased songs from Apple) disappeared. When I try to sync I get a message that if I continue all the other songs (~1250) will be removed from my devices and I will be left with the ~50 purchased songs. There is no information on the help list on how to re-create the library using Windows 8.

AE not reading all the XMP data from DNG files

I'm working on a very large time-lapse for a construction company - I have a sunset that is broken between two folders and rendering the folders seperately makes Quicktime unhappy during playback and I get an ugly jump in sunset exposure.
So I combined the two folders in Lightroom (LR) from my RAW files (NEF) and exported the entire sequence as DNG files with simpler numbering. The sequence is about 1560 files and constitutes about 22 GB of data. I created a new LR library from the DNG sequence to make sure it all looked good and it does.
I imported the same DNG sequence into AE, checked a few frames in the preview and sent it out to render. Two thirds of the way through the QT movie, exported in H.264 at 30 fps, I start seeing problems. Huge sections look like the XMP data has not been read, then there's a good section and then bad again. I matched the movie time to preview in AE and indeed saw the same problems in the AE preview. So the problem begain in AE's reading the files from the folder, not in rendering.
I went back to LR for file comparison. There was no problem in LR. All the DNGs look great.
I'm on a MacBookPro Retina with 2.8 GHz Intel processor, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Ram and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB graphics
I have the standard 69GB cache on an external drive and have 11GB RAM available for AE.
Installed CPUs =8
CPUs reserved for other apps = 2
RAM allocation per background CPU = 1GB
Actual CPUs that will be used = 6
I have the latest AE from the Adobe Cloud, although I haven't done the most recent update yet.
My thought was to break the folder up into smaller segments for rendering, but that's not the problem. I see the XMP hasn't been consistantly read in preview. To me it doesn't make sense that the folder is too large for preview because it's not even rendering it there, just reading the files...?
Any insight, solutions?
Thanks,
Dennis

I am basically trying to export xmp files from a set of low resolution dng files so that I can access my Lightroom edits in the RAW files. I have separated the RAW and dng files in different folders
Hi Andy,
I dunno how best to get extracted xmp files into the raw folders, but if you are comfortable with exiftool, you can use it to extract xmp sidecars from DNG files.
If you want a turn-key solution which does not required you to futz with exiftool, then consider a free plugin I wrote:
robcole.com - xEmP
It will allow you to create xmp sidecars with all your DNG adjustments and metadata (which can then be applied to the non-dng raw files).
However, if you won't need the DNGs in your catalog afterward, then the easiest way is to convert them back to proprietary raw format using this plugin (also free, and I wrote it):
robcole.com - UnDNG
Conceptually, you can think of it as converting the DNGs to proprietary raw format, but note: it doesn't convert anything, it just allows existing raw files that are NOT in the catalog, to replace the DNGs that are in the catalog. All adjustments and metadata and everything else will be preserved (just like when you convert a proprietary raw to DNG format).

Updating all the changed data from Vo based table into database

hi,
there is a advanced table in my page and there r 14columns in it. the data for this columns is coming from 8 different tables. here the table is VO(sql query) based table.there is also a apply button on the page. when i click "apply" which is submit button, i want all the changes made on the advanced table to be captured and get updated on the respective columns in the database..
can anyone helpme out in doing this.
Thanks
Chandu

SQL query based VO is not updatable. You have to base your ViewObject for all EntityObjects which represent your 8 different tables.
Its good practice to base all your VO on EO, even for read-only, unless your query does not contain, distinct, union & group by clause.
Setting "updatable=false" property of EO make behavior of read-only.
Is your VO based on EO?

If your computer is not recognizing your iPhone then it seems like it doesn't have Apple Mobile Device Support (the program it uses to communicate with the phone).
I would recommend a complete a uninstall and reinstall of iTunes to get it back on your computer. You can get directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.

How can I remove all the drawing canvases from a Word file?

Hi,
There are many drawing canvases in the document, which were created by pressing 'edit' on embedded EMF files.
I would like to replace the embedded figures with object references, so I searched for a way to delete all the drawing canvases but couldn't find the result.
Is there a macro that will delete all the drawing canvases in the document? Or, is the drawing canvas defined as an object type at all?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your description, do you want to change the shapes or other content's figures with object references of the drawing canvases in Word?
If you need to use a macro, I recommend you post the question to MDSN forum for Word:
