Restoring keywords & edits to Library

I recently lost my Library6.iPhoto file to corruption and in the process I lost some editing and keywording changes I had made. I have recent backups to this file that I am going to use but the recent keywording and editing changes won't be on it. I do also have a backup DVD that I made recently via iPhoto's Share/Burn command which I think will have many of these keywording and editing changes. What is the fastest/safest way to restore these changes to my libary?
Thanks,
Win

Terence,
Not sure you understand my situation. I was able to repair the Library problem itself by deleting the damaged Library6.iPhoto file and installing a recent Library6 backup. The trouble is that said Library6 backup didn't have the most recent editing & keywording changes because it was made several days before.
Happily I also had made a backup of the film roll in question after editing and keywording a number of images in a previous session. As far as I understand Share/Burn's function it would have also saved the editing/keywording changes made just prior to that backup being made.
So now I have a DVD containing edited/keyworded images that also exist on the harddrive without the editing/keywording. My question is how do I get those edits and keywords reattached to the images?
Thanks,
Win

Keyword Editing Bugs - Help

I have two separate (but likely related) problems with Keywords editing in iPhoto '11:
(1) When viewing a Smart Album, attempting to edit the Keywords of a single photo is frequently changing the Keywords of every photo in the Smart Album. (This is obviously yielding disastrous results. Now thousands of my photos are tagged incorrectly.) I click a single photo -- or Command-Click three or four photos -- and, after confirming that only the photos I want to update are selected (the top right message reports "3 photos selected", for example), I modify the Keywords. Then when I click "Return", every photo in the album is updated with the new Keyword(s).
(2) When attempting to edit Keywords anywhere -- albums, smart albums, etc. -- I am unable to delete a keyword unless I do it multiple times. For example, the photo will be tagged with Keywords "Alpha", "Bravo", "Delta", and "Echo". I delete "Bravo" and hit "Return", and then the "Bravo" Keyword comes back. I delete it. It comes back. I delete it again, and it finally disappears.
I have rebuilt my library multiple times at iPhoto startup, but nothing seems to resolve this problem.
My entire iPhoto library is now an epic disaster. I have 23,000+ photos and now thousands of them are tagged incorrectly. Attempting to fix them keeps making everything worse.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Mistrustful aren't we?
1. Using iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild a Library requires no purchase. You can download and use the app for free. Some extra features (like merging libraries) require a purchase. So, even if I had a beneficial interest in iPhoto Library Manager what would it gain me when the most frequent (by a mile...) use I suggest the app for costs nothing.
I don't know that I'm a "vocal advocate" for the application. I recommend it as a way to solve library corruption issues. I'm not the only person on here who does. All the most experienced posters here do. There's a reason for that. It's the best solution on offer.
2. I have no interest in, financial relationship with, or anything to gain from anyone using iPhoto Library Manager for any reason whatever. Neither do I have anything to gain from your using Apple products - I'm neither an employee nor a shareholder - or indeed, any other hardware or software.
3. iPhoto Library Manager is not a workaround it's a solution. You cannot repair that database. There is no way to. You may be reticent to accept that. Good. If you can find an way or another app to repair the database I'll happily recommend that instead of iPhoto Library Manager. (And I'll have no financial relationship with that, either)
4. Your Library is corrupted. You have four options now:
Rebuild with iPhoto's own tools - that hasn't worked for you
Restore from a known-good back up. That's the next best option
Everything from now on means some data loss
Rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager - minimise the data loss
Make a new Library and start over from scratch. Maximum pain and dataloss.
Your choice.

Restoration of a Document Library

I currently do backup every week using the following command
stsadm -o export -url http://url -filename d:\moss_site_backup\mybackup.bak -overwrite -includeusersecurity
I was recently requested to do a restoration of a document library from past month (May 14 time frame )
I have backup from each week of May
How do I restore the document lib? I don't want to affect current PRODUCTION Site.
TIA
SV

Hello SV,
What version of sharepoint you are using? Since you have posted in legacy forum so i am assuming you are using 2007 or less. Since granular backup (i.e. import/export) is not available in any legacy edition and there is only one option to take back of list/library
called save list/library as template with 10 MB limitation. It means you can't take backup more than 10 MB.
Codeplex tool is freely available to take granular backup for legacy site:
https://spdeploymentwizard.codeplex.com/
Now one common thing for all editions, you can not filter the content so you have to take the whole library back then delete content from library. Easy way to delete content is open in data sheet view and filter by column.
Hope it could help

How to copy iPhoto keywords from one library to another

I have over 30 iPhoto Libraries. Managing them is great using iPhoto Library, but keyword management is awful (if iPLM has a way I haven't found it). I would like to know how to copy keywords from one library to another. It's a pain to have to continually doing manual setup.
In advance, THANKS!

With that many photos you might consider using one of the high end DAM (digital asset management) applications. I use Media Pro 1. It uses catalogs of thumbnails that are linked to the photos on your hard drive, CDs or wherever. A single catalog can hold 250,000 images. It uses Catalog Sets like Events in iPhoto. There are Categories which are like albums in iPhoto. Those and Catalog Sets are virtual. You can batch rename files once in the catalog either by date or text. The folders holding the photos on the hard drive can be set up auto update in the catalog so when you add a photo to the folder it will appear in the catalog. You can add keywords, hierarchical keywords, descriptions, etc. and write them back to the original file.
It has some built in editing capability and versioning capability. Clicking on a keyword will display all photos with that keyword quickly. Searches can be made across multiple catalogs and have the results displayed in a new catalog.
I use it as my primary DAM and iPhoto for special projects like books, etc. The catalogs can be viewed and keywords, descriptions added, etc. without the original files being available. You just can't do any editing, slideshows or anything that requires the full sized file.

Editing my library, lags and slows up the proccess

while editing my library I find that the system lags and it becomes very frustrating when I have to wait for the system to do what I need it to do. I have one of macs most recent and their more powerful units. I do have quite an extensive music library that I am always trying to work with and get as much info on it as possible. I am becoming disappointed with how things are going and even concidering finding another media format. this is not what I prefer, but if I am unable to come to a good resolution for this I don't see a choice. any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Since you can click on it to delete it give this a try: Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.
If that doesn't fix the problem continue with:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. (This is the downside to the method but it should give you functioning library with no bad actors in it.)
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

TS1717 how to restore my itunes music library when an apple download stuffs up

how to restore my itunes music library when an apple download malfunctions

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Fcpx editing error, library not open

Fcpx editing error, library not open，The backup file is not open。

I suggest downloading Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager and using it to delete your preferences.
If that doesn't solve the crashes, create a test library by holding down the option key when you launch FCP X and see whether it is possible to work normally in that library.

How Do I save and restore keywords, categories and tags in PE6?

I have my photos backed up on an external hard drive, but if and when my hard drive crashes, how do I get back the tags, keywords, categories, etc. that I have used in the PE 6 Organizer? Can I save them and, if so, when I need to restore this, how do I do that? How do I reconnect tags, categories, keywords, etc. with photos that I re-import after a hard drive crash?

John: Many thanks for this help. I use CS3, but my mom has PE6 and I'm trying to help her. I'm not as familiar with PE6.
Again, thanks,

PSE keeps your keywords, categories, albums, stacks, version sets, captions, notes, dates, and star ratings in a file in a "catalog folder". (Do Help > System Info to find the location of your catalog folder). When you make a backup with the PSE File > Backup command, it copies all your photos and the catalog file into the backup. When you restore from that backup, it copies that catalog file and all your photos to the location you specify.

Html snippet not working; created from Taco html edit Component Library

Ok, I've searched for days on the discussion board for the answer to this one..... hopefully someone can give me a couple of pointers....
I have a component created from Taco html edit Component Library that I cannot get to work as an inserted snippet into iWeb 3.0.2.
Why can't I get this to work? I've seen first hand that they work on someone else's website that she constructs in html directly, not using iWeb. Any help greatly appreciated.
Taco created three files. They are:
TSWAccordion.css
TSWDomUtils.js
TSWAccordion.js
Here is the code:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/TSWAccordion.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/TSWDomUtils.js"></script>

You need to upload these three files in a folder to the root folder on your server:
TSWAccordion.css
TSWDomUtils.js
TSWAccordion.js
The folder cannot be named "Scripts" as shown in your code as you already have one of that name.
Say it is named "Accordion". You then need to give the absolute URL to these files rather than the relative one shown in the code....

Editing in "LIbrary"

In Lightroom, while editing in "Library" with Lupe view, sometimes when i flag an image, I'm advanced to the next automatically, sometimes not. How do i change between settings???

If the caps lock is on when you are tagging images then auto advance is active. If the caps lock is off auto advance will not be active.

Can you edit a library through shared network??

IS it possible to edit a library (change playlists, delete songs, etc) through a network???
-E

As far as I know, you'll need remote access to the computer. ITunes, however, doesn't allow you to manipulate songs on other PCs.

Keyword edit

Hello...
I started to use my Aperture 3 a bit in a hurry, did not have time to read the manual extensively.
I entered several keywords and attributed them to photos in different projects.
After, I realised that my keyword definitions were either inappropiate or redundant.
I am wondering if I can straighten up this by editing my keywords, which I guess you can do by exporting the keywords, edit them with a word prodesssor in text mode, and reloading them.
My question is: if a keyword is modified (eg. typo corrected) or moved into a new subcategory, will this change the keywords that are already attached to existing photos ?
Thanks and cheers

No! You use Aperture's Keywords HUD to edit your keywords. When you rename one, Aperture will ask you if you want to apply this change to all the Images to which you have applied that keyword. You can also group your keywords under other keywords. If you do so, I recommend _not_ using any of your keyword-group keywords as keywords. (See this thread.) You can merge keywords that are identical.
The user manual is uncharacteristically thin on keyword use in Aperture. Read the keywording section and ask more questions.

Keyword edit view

A keyword edit view would be nice. Just some UI widget that would one more easily create, delete and edit keywords. The current UI is pretty tweaking when trying to create parent-child relationships (try adding Apple under Zebra when you have hundreds of keywords). Also, allowing one to select multiple keywords for batch ops, like creating synonyms, would be nice.
An export (and import) to/from XML or some other normalized form would be sweet, too.
