Setting camera time

Hi
I seem to remember from the previous version of Aperture that, when you plug your camera in, next to the download icon there would be a small clock icon that allows you to set the time on your camera to be the same as the time on your machine. This has been very useful when you use more than 1 camera on a shoot.
Problem is, I cannot see any option to do that anymore, can anyone tell me where it has gone?
I am using Aperture 1.5.6 on Leopard, with a Canon 40D camera.

Hi Andreas
It is not so much the time zone I am interested in, but the exact time. If at an event we use more than one camera it is a right pain if the images come into Aperture out of chronological order because one camera is a minute faster than the other. Syncing the cameras with the machine avoids this, and all the images fall into place nicely.
Thanks for the reply
Hannes

Having trouble setting up time machine.

I'm trying to set up time machine and I go to the program, click it on, and then I click "choose backup disk", but there is nothing there. Is there anything I am supposed to do beforehand to give Time Machine a backup disk to save in?
My next question isn't about time machine but it might be related. I have to reinstall windows on my mac. I had it before and somehow it caught a virus, so I had to erase and it went to ****....long story short, It broke, I fixed it. Now i have to repartition my drive though. I assume that I have to split it three ways, one for Mac, Windows, and Time Machine. My question is....I want to leave Mac with the most space of all 3, obviously....whats the minimum I can split it to to install Windows xp and get Time Machine working (unless I'm way off and time machine setup is a different way)?

So one can't back up to a partition on the main disk with Time Machine?
The iMac comes from the factory with a single partition. If you want TM to backup to a second partition on the iMac internal drive, you will need to Partition the drive using OSX disk that came with the iMac (this erases every thing on the hard drive) and reinstall the OS from the DVD.
But, I do not recommend that approach. Backups are generally needed if your hard disk crashes. If you are backing up to a partition on the internal disk, you will lose your backup if/when the drive crashes.
The only reason to use TM on a partition on the internal drive is if you are doing a LOT of version sensitive work (meaning you made need to look at yesterday's work on the same project). But most applications can be set to do incremental change backups of individual projects making TM a ppor choice anyway.
Buy an external drive for the TM backup.

Having trouble setting up Time capsule...

I just bought a new iMac last night. I also picked up Time Capsule and Apple TV. I'm having a problem setting up Time Capsule correctly. I'll go through what I did step by step and hopefully someone can help me as I've never tried to set up a wireless network before.
I'm connected to the internet via Comcast. I have the outside cable coming into the modem and the ethernet cable from the modem i have plugged into TC's WAN port (the one with the gear logo).
I start by opening Airport Utility ( I upgraded to the most recent version using the install disc that came with TC) and it recognizes TC in the left side of the window. It says it found TC with default settings and gives a name for it and an Airport ID. I click continue.
The next window prompts me to name the TC and assign a password. I do so and click continue.
The next window gives me some options about setting up a new or existing wireless network. It says it found some existing networks which I assume are my neighbors. I select "I don't have a wireless network and want to create one". I click continue.
The next window prompts me to give a name and security level to the new network. I provide a name and select WPA/WPA2 Personal and enter and verify a password. I click continue.
The next window asks whether I'd like TC to be in Bridge mode or Share a single IP address using DHCP and NAT.
If I click Share a single IP, a popup tells me "This will cause my TC to continue to blink amber and do I want to ignore this and continue?". So I figure this can't be a good thing and I click on Bridge mode not really knowing what it means.
The next window asks me to enter the TCP/IP info from my ISP. It also says to choose "Using DHCP" if I receive an IP address automatically. So in the box where it says "Configure IPv4", I select "Using DHCP" and there is an IP address and Subnet mask with numbers after each. Below that is Router Address, with fields for DNS Server, Domain Name and DHCP Client ID. These fields are blank. I click continue.
The next window says TC will use these settings:
TC name - Jim's Time Capsule
Wireless Mode - Create a wireless network
Network Name - Jim's Network
Wireless Security - WPA/WPA2 Personal
Connect Using - Ethernet
Configure IPv4 - Using DHCP
IP Address - (Provided Automatically)
If settings are correct, click Update to finish setting up your TC or click Go Back to change settings. I click Update and a box tells me that the device and its network service will be temporarily unavailable and do I want to continue? I click continue.
The next window tells me that the settings for TC have been updated successfully and its being configured. I then get a window reporting a problem.It says-
"Problem 1 of 1: Internet Connection
Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP address. Make sure your Apple wireless device is connected to your broadband modem or local network, verify your settings and try again. If you still can't connect, call your ISP."
There are two boxes with options. The first is "Connect Using" and "ethernet" is selected with "PPoE" being the other option. The second box says "Configure IPv4" and "Using DHCP" is selected, and "Manually" is the other option.
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong, but I don't have a clue. I'm getting online fine when I plug the ethernet cable into the back of the iMac. I've reset the modem by hitting the reset button. The light turns green on the TC but I can't connect to the internet. Any ideas? Feel free to call me a big dummy
Jim

Thank you, Jim Somoygi. I had a similar multi-hour odyssey with a AE and a Comcast cable modem.
This solved the seemingly endless blinking amber light:
1. unplug power from the modem and AE (or time capsule). Go get a beverage of your choice (wait a couple of minutes).
2. My modem has a battery backup (Comcast phone service). So, I pressed a tiny reset button on the back of the Comcast modem (it's made by Arris). With the battery backup, I'm not sure I would have been able to reset the modem simply by unplugging.
3. Make sure there is an ethernet cable connecting the cable modem and the AE or TC
4. Plug the modem back in, wait for the lights to come on. I also had to press a "standby" button on the front of the modem to get all the lights to come on.
5. Plug in the AE (or TC)
6. Green light on the AE (it's not easy being green)
7. Choose the appropriate Airport network & surf away.
I will say that the problem seems to be with the modem, rather than the AE. Once I reset the modem, I could configure the AE with ease. Once the AE is configured, it is absolutely rock stable. Before I fiddled with the network & brought this on myself, I enjoyed shockingly stable networking with the AE -- much better than with previous attempts with Netgear or Buffalo products (although I do like the ease with which Buffalo products can be configured together, using their proprietary handshaking protocol "AOSS").

My Foscam IP Camera "times out" after one day - the IP address changes

Hey All,
I'm trying to set up my Foscam 8918 camera. I'm not so much concerened about being able to view it remotely as i can't even get the local (home) setup to work successfully for more than a day.
As far as I undertand it my IP address is dynamic and changes every day and I have to manually go into the foscam app and change the Local Camera Address 10.0.1.XX
Is there a way I can give the camera a static IP address? I've tried the port forwarding as instructed on this forum and I can't get it to connect.
Everything works until the IP address changes and then the camera times out.
Thanks for any insight.
I'm using the brand new apple router (the tower)
I'm using FoscamPro app on iphone 4S and ipad 2

In case you do want to be able to access your Foscam IP camera from the Internet. Note: I don't have this exact camera model, but the following worked for mine.
Camera Setup Part 1
Plug the camera into your router with your ethernet cable
Log onto the camera using the IP address given by the IP camera tool (IPCT) using the default login given on the bottom of the camera.
Choose Device Management, and then, Wireless LAN Settings.
Find your wireless network and input the login info.
The camera should now reset
802.11n AirPort Extreme (AEBSn) Setup (Note: I am assuming that you will be using version 6.x of the AirPort Utility from the iPad.)
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the (AEBSn) > Edit > Advanced > DHCP and NAT
Verify that the Router Mode = DHCP and NAT
From the DHCP and NAT window > Reservations > New Reservation...
Enter anything you like for the Description field.
Reserve address by: MAC Address
MAC Address: Enter the wireless MAC address of the IP camera
IPv4 Address: Enter the desired IP address you want reserved as a "Static IP" address for the camera. This address must be within the DHCP range of your AirPort. By default, this range is: 10.0.1.2 - 10.0.1.200.
Click Done
Go to the Advanced window > Port Settings > New Entry...
Entry Type: IPv4
Description: Leave blank or enter a desired description.
Public UDP Port(s): 8888
Public TCP Port(s): 8888
Private IP Address: Enter the Static IP address you created above.
Private UDP Port(s): 8888
Private TCP Port(s): 8888
Click Done
Allow the AEBSn to reset.
Camera Setup Part 2
Use the IPCT utility to obtain the network configuration settings.
Right (or Option)-click the IP address given in IPCT and choose Network Configuration.
Note these values. You may want to write them down.
Log onto the camera via a web browser, like Safari.
Go to Device Management > Basic Network Settings
Uncheck the box.
Input the settings from IPCT.
Verify that the port numbers used are the same as what you entered in the AirPort Utility's Port Mapping option.
Allow the camera to reset.
Optional, but recommended
Setup a Dynamic DNS account. This would take care of the issue of having a Dynamic WAN IP address that your ISP provides you. I would recommend DynDNS.
Go to https://www.dyndns.com/account/services/hosts/add.html
You will want to just set up a basic account.ollow the directions for setting up a basic account.
Once the account is set up, you will want to choose a web address to map directly to your camera. The Dynamic DNS service will assign a web address that will link to your Dynamic WAN IP address. The web address will stay the same even if the IP address changes.
When accessing the camera from a remote location, just tag on the port number to the web address. As as example, if the web address DynDNS assigns you is: www.myaddress.com, you would enter: www.myaddress.com:8888 into the web browser's address bar to access your camera.
Your camera should now be ready for both wireless access on your local network and from the Internet.

Setting exposure time in C

I am using C to setting exposure time for my Camera Link CCD,exposure time should be 12 microsecond.
I know there is a function imgSetCameraAttributeNumeric()/imgSetCameraAttributeString(),but which constant refers to exposure time?
How to set?Plz give me an example.
Thank u very much!

Side note, if you're using C99 (you should!), you can include <stdbool> and use bool/true/false.
Side note #2. There is no way, in C, to get the size of an array. You need to use a "trick" to know your size. Typically, when using code like you have, one does:
#include <stdbool>
typedef struct
char sprite;
bool walkable;
} FIELD;
const static FIELD field_table[] =
{' ', true},
{'#', false},
{0, false}
And then you loop until my_field.sprite == 0. Alternatively, you could add a "#define FIELD_TABLE_LENGTH 2" or something, but that adds potential errors if you were to add an entry at a later date and forget to change then length.
stdbool is a nice hack where you have
#define true 1
#define false 0
as for the size of an array, since it's known at compile time, sizeof will do
size_t s = sizeof(field_table) / sizeof(FIELD);
and since we're targeting C99, then proper initialisation of structs looks like this:
FIELD a = {.sprite = '#', .walkable = true };

Setting camera attributes with the PCI-1405

I have the PCI-1405 Imaq card. I was wondering how I set camera attributes like gain and exposure time. Every time I try to use the set camera attribute VI I get an error message saying the attribute is not valid.

khsay--
      Installing the driver will allow the framegrabber (1405) to communicate with the computer. I want to verify that you are using Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) to test the sanp/grab features of your camera. This will allow you to directly interact with the hardware.
If you are, and this is where you are getting the extract image error. First double-check that you know what kind of communication standard the camera uses (for instance, CCIR or RS170) and make sure that this is selected in MAX.
      The camera might not be using a known standard, in which case you will need a camera file that tells the computer and framegrabber how to interpret the camera's information and signal. You can look in MAX and see if the camera is listed, if it is the camera file is If not, you can try going to www.ni.com/camera and see if you can get a camera file there. If not you will need to try contacting the manufacturer to see if they have one, and if not you will need to create one using the camera file generator from the ni.com/camera.
     Just let us know if this information helped to solve the issue and if not reply back so that we can help. Also, in the future if you have a new issue you might consider posting in a new thread.

How to set self timer in Canon PowerShot SD800 IS

Hi,
I am owning Canon PowerShot SD800 IS digital camera. How do i set self timer to shoot my picture when there is nobody around me.
Regards,
Kaushal

There is a button on the back of the camera for the self timer. Below the function button is a clock symbol. press this to activate the self timer and select the option for how much time to delay the shot. Page 18 of the basic guide (http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/1/0900001461/01/PSSD800ISIXUS850ISCUGba-EN.pdf) gives the full instructions. Note that the self timer cannot be used in all modes. See page 144 in the advanced user guide (http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/8/0900001458/01/PSSD800ISIXUS850ISCUGad-EN.pdf).
Hope this helps you.

Map Module Discrepancies / Syncing Camera time to GPS Logger

The Map Module of LR5 lets us use the Set Time Zone Offset to account for the fact that you may not have reset the time on your camera when you crossed time zones. For that purpose, it works well.
But what about an equally common occurrence – the camera time is a minute, two, or three out of sync with the GPS time? That doesn’t seem like much, but in my test a photo of my house showed to be taken 2 or 3 houses down the street. That is not a big deal until you’re photographing something like an ancient temple in Cambodia where you don’t have a known reference point. The Map Module does not allow you to adjust for this. How do you get everything to show up right in the Map Module, and have it geotag your photos correctly?
This requires synchronizing the camera time with the GPS track logger device (not the computer) to get the minutes and seconds right. What’s the best way to do that? Here are some thoughts.
Before leaving for your shoot, synchronize the time in your camera to a website with the correct time, like www.time.gov. This is the simplest and easiest if you remember to do it. I tested and it works. Set your camera time to 30 seconds ahead of the current time, and put your cursor on OK. Then as the website counts down to the time you set, simply hit OK and you’ll be right on.
If you forget to do that, there is another alternative. At the beginning of your shoot, press the POI or waypoint button on the data logger while simultaneously taking a photo. Compare the POI time stamp to the photo metadata to get an adjustment time. Then use Edit Capture Time in the Library Module to apply the adjustment time to all the photo metadata. In my GPX file the waypoints or POIs appeared with a <name> entry when viewed by Notepad. You can ignore the hours in the time entry and focus only on the minutes and seconds.
If you use a GPS device with a screen rather than a data logger (I don’t because of expense and bulk) then take a photo of the screen and later compare that time to the metadata time to get the adjustment time.
Finally, if you find out after the fact that you didn’t do any of these, here’s a work-around.
Find a photo that you can locate precisely on the map based on its contents. Roll the mouse cursor over the track log in the Map Module at the point where you know you took the photo. That is the time that should be on the photo. Compare that to the time actually in the photo Metadata and you’ll see what the time adjustment should be. Use that in the Library Module to edit the capture time. Using several photos if you can to get an average is best.
If your shoot doesn’t contain a photo for which you can precisely identify the location, go out in front of your hotel or guesthouse, walk an identifiable route, and shoot a photo at an identifiable location where you can. Unless your camera time has drifted substantially, that should be close enough.
If you’ve already applied the GPS data to the photos before correcting, simply select them all, and delete the GPS coordinates in the Metadata panel. You can autotag again in Map Module after you’ve adjusted the time.
These solutions seem to work.
What additional thoughts, comments, or solutions would you like to add?

Com.apple.parentalcontrols.keychain error setting up Time Machine

When setting up Time Machine I encountered an unexpected error:
"writeconfig wants to use the "com.apple.parentalcontrols.keychain.5nqyke" keychain. Please enter the keychain password."
This was reported back in 2010 in this post:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2554426?threadID=2554426
If you have encountered this same frustrating error, I can provide a fix, read on.
It was determined that this is an issue with code leftover from a Norton Antivirus software that had been uninstalled but left this problem, which is that this keychain password was created by Norton in the background, and you the user never saw it or even knew it existed, and therefore cannot enter it. For some reason Time Machine finds this insurmountable. It is not possible to use Time Machine until this hurdle is overcome.
At that time users tried various fixes to get rid of this code and only one drastic one was noted to be effective. I tried several relatively easy suggested but unproven fixes which did NOT work, including:
Run the Norton Uninstall program that came with the software
Obtain and run the RemoveSymantecMacFiles program available at: https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080427024142EN_En dUserProfile_en_us
Run Disk Utility to repair permissions and then again to repair the disk
Install Clean My Mac and run it
So I tried the drastic solution which DID work, which was to reinstall the OS as follows:
Back up important files (using something other than Time Machine, since Time Machine is not yet working)
Boot the iMac from the Mac OS X install DVD
Re-install the OS X from the Install DVD
Restart the iMac and go through the software updates (in my case, back to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard)
Open Time Machine preferences, select the desired target disk, and you will get past this barrier and can use Time Machine easily.
This worked for me, so I'm all set. I post this in the hopes that:
- users who encounter this same issue will find this fix helpful
- Apple and/or Symantec will find a way to determine the root cause of this issue and address it so no one else has to deal with it

Hey there,
See if this older thread can help you out.

How do i set my time capsule up to function as an external hard drive

How do i set my time capsule up to function as an external hard drive? Is this even possible? I had a friend tell me it woudl be a good set up to get a time capsule with my Macbook Air to use as a gigantic external hard drive but then was unbale to wlak me through the setup after I bought the equipment. Any suggestions?

It depends on what you already have equipment wise..
Just bridge the TC..
I cannot walk you through it either if you use v6 airport utility.. due to my refusing to run Lion until it gets network issues sorted.
Download and run the real utility http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Go to manual setup..
Internet tab
Connection sharing.. select off bridge mode in the drop down box.
You can then if you like turn off wireless under airport wireless.. The TC is now a plain network client with hard disk.
Personally I would keep the wireless on but sort the channels manually if you already have a wireless AP or router.

I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
school or company network?
2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

How do I set up Time Machine to work with an Iomega network hard drive?

I have just bought a new iMac having switched from Windows, and am very much a beginner when it comes to all things Apple. Previously I had used my NAS hard drive with my old windows pc. i successfully used it to transfer a lot of data from the old pc to the iMac but can't seem to get it recognised when I try to configure time machine. I have downloaded the latest version of Iomega Home storage manager which appears in the application folder in the dock, but when I click on The HSM icon it just disappears and nothing happens. I can access the drive through the Bonjour service and can see its contents in Finder. I have looked through the forums here but much of the info assumes a level of knowledge that i don't have. Is there an 'idiot's guide' anywhere to enable me to set up time machine to use the network hard drive?

You would probably benefit from a couple of things, first going through these 2 links
Time Machine FAQs & Time Machine Troubleshooting.
If you still have questions there is a TM forum, because TM is part of OS X you will find the forum in the Snow Leopard forum. Click Apple Support Communities and in the search field type Snow Leopard. Once you are in the correct forum you can narrow your search by clicking Refine this list.

Set up time not considered

Hello ,
I am using PP-PI.
The resource category is '001' machine and having std formulas 'sap001' for setup and sap002 for processing and other formula 'sap006'
The recipe has setup time and processing time .When i run MRP the planned orders are created but no set up time is considered in it.
I tested the formula in resource and it calculates set up time.
What settings i need to check ?
Also, for the planned order , in det.scheduling tab system shows 'capacty requirments'(in min).
But this does not match with production dates.
Example - prod dates- 10.06.09 ( 14:00:00) to 24.06.2009(24:00:00) = 10*1440(days avlb capacity) + 14:00 = 14410 mins.
But the capacity req shown is 15000 mins( opr qty *processing time).
What settings i need to chk ? kindly advise
Regards
ShankarR

Shankar,
Have you maiantained the scheduling parameters for planned order in OPU5?
If not then execute the same & under 'Detailed scheduling mark 'Scheduling' & 'Generate capacity requiremnt'.
Regarding the differnce in capacity requirement & scheduling, make sure you use similar formulas in scheduling as well as capacity tab page.
Hope this helps you.

How do I change the name I have called my MacBook Air so I can add 11" and 13" into the title of whose computer this is for more clarity when I set up Time Machine and save to it with both computers? Both are named with "my name and MacBook Air"

I'm still learning the whole Mac thing but these are great machines! I purchased a MacBook Air 13" and then thought I should also get a MacBook Air 11" for travel. When I set it up at the Apple store I told the assistant the exact same name for each machine, i.e., "my name and MacBook Air." What I want to do is go back in and rename both of them adding the 11" and 13" designation to the name so that when I set up Time Machine or whatever else I know exactly which machine is what. I'm sure it is very simple but I cannot seem to figure it out. Help please. Thanks.

Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

How do you set the time period on IMAP email accounts (razr maxx)

Hi Guys -
Does anyone know how you can set the time period that the stock email will keep the already downloaded messages for IMAP email accounts?
Mine never seems to show more than a couple of days worth at a time. I'd ideally like to be able to see at least 2 weeks worth of messages without needing to download them again!
On other phones I've had there was a setting in the menu, but either I can't find it...or it's not there. I've found the setting for how OFTEN it checks the accounts, but not the setting I am seeking.
Your help is appreciated!
Best Wishes for the Holiday Season.
-Rich

Hey Rich. Once in 'settings,' there should be a "days to sync' under the 'data usage' section. You don't have that?
