Smart album using keyword not working

I'm creating smart albums using keywords. Today I created two smart albums tagging select photos with key words. One album has worked correctly, the other album is empty, showing only black background. I've confirmed photos are tagged with the one key word, I've confirmed the key word exists in the list. I can't figure out why the smart album is not generating.

Try going to the Q tab and get rid of all the search field by clicking the circle at the right hand side, leaving only the Keywords field, then ensure the rating field is at unrated or better as this field cannot be removed. Allan

IPhoto 9.4.3-keyword "" not working correctly in smart albums

Every May I work on the 5th Grade recognition slideshow (using Keynote) for our 5th grade students. In iPhoto, I always give photos the checkmark keyword after I've placed that photo so that I know it's been added/used. I have many smart photo albums with keywords like "5th graders 2012-2013" and others like the checkmark.
None of the smart albums seem to be recognizing and using the checkmark even though it's one of the smart album criteria. For example, I have a smart album called
"5th grade-already used" which has the criteria Match All: Keyword is "5th graders-2012-2013" and Keyword is "✔". However, even after giving some photos the checkmark keyword, this smart album shows up empty.
Similarly, I have another smart album called "5th-Still to use" which has criteria Match All: Keyword is "5th graders-2012-2013" and Keyword is not "✔". The photos that I've placed the checkmark on are STILL showing up here.
These smart albums have always worked before. Has anyone else noticed issues with the checkmark keyword not working properly? It has to have happened with an update sometime in the past year.

When I went to open the library using iPhoto Library Manager, it had to upgrade the library to work with this version of iPhoto.
That's normal.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Lightroom 5: Can't make smart collection using keywords?

I watched a tutorial about how to make smart collections using keywords.
I spent a couple hours selecting the photos (using the paint can, good tip) and giving about 700 photos the keyword "use". Then I went to make a smart collection and discovered that it only allows you "any text field" with no reference to keywords. Many photos in my huge collection have the letters "use" in their titles.
So is there no way to select keywords as a basis for smart collections????

To be honest, I'm still not sure of the purpose/benefit of the change!
Definitely: to reduce time it takes to scroll from top to bottom .
Hopefully: to pave the way for additional metadata items in the future .

New Smart Playlist Keyboard Shortcut Not Working

Using iTunes 7.5/Leopard 10.5.1
The shortcut for creating a new smart playlist (optcmdN) is not working. However, I can use the keyboard shortcuts for creating a new folder or a new playlist. Any of you have the same problem?
Thanks!

OK...this might be too simple to possibly be the answer...but is the number lock key down on your keyboard?
EDIT: Well... no, that can't be it...or the new folder and new playlist keys wouldn't work either. Have you downloaded any widgets or third-party apps recently?

Keyword not working in search bar.

I added keyword for search engines in search bar: for example, for You Tube, it is yt. In the search bar I enter, "yt Avatar" and it displays a Google search for the entry. Why are the keywords not working?

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.URL
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

How does it "not work"?
What OS version are you using?

Change password on the first use - does not work

Change password on the first use - does not work.
Created a user and specified 'Change password on the first use' - when user logs in - the 'Change password' window does not pop- up.
Please advise.

(APEX 4.0.2) I am running into this same issue - if you don't set the password expiration and locking to 'Yes', the user gets into the app without being asked to change the pw.
When you do set expiration and locking - after the user logs on with their temporary password, it does take them to the change password page (4155:50) but the username is blank. Because the username didn't get to the page the old password will never match and you get the "Invalid password" message.
What am I missing? Anyone successful doing this?
Simple application, default authentication, no javascript, HTTP_SERVER, no ssl.
Thanks,
Steve

Why iPad mini retina smart unlock/lock function not working when I using 3rd party cover with magnetic

I recently bought a leather case from store with smArt unlock/lock function with magnetic. I try to use it on my iPad mini retina when I try to close and open it doesn't work. I already on my smart unlock function inside setting. May I know where is the magnetic area of iPad mini retina ?

The "Lock/Unlock" feature is enabled by installing a compatible Smart Cover/Case (or third-party equivalent) with an embedded magnet in the correct position in the cover. Are you using a real Apple product? If not, the cover/case you are using may not have the magnet in the right place or may not even have one at all.
If you ARE using a real Apple Smart Cover/Case and you have an Apple Store nearby, have them check both the case and cover you are using. You may have a bad magnectic switch on the iPad or a faulty cover/case.
I also remember reading here of a Smart Case/Cover which had the magnet installed upside-down and was repelling rather than attracting. You might want to take the cover off and flip it to verify this...you'll have to slide the cover around in different positions on the right-hand bezel on the iPad to see if you can activate the magnet.

How can I use the keyword option in the view menu for my smart albums?

You do not use the view menu - you create a new smart album (or edit and existign one) and use the Keyword criteria as yoou wish

Hp smart web printing does not work on firefox. HP says this is not their problem and to contact Mozilla. Is there a plug in available?

I just bought a new hp printer. the software has a feature called HP web smart printing. The feature works on explorer but not on Firefox. HP says this is not their problem and suggested I contact Mozilla. Is an add on available and if not will one be made available.
I am using v. 3.6.13. and the printer is HP Officejet 4500.

HP smart web printing is an application that only works with IE. In spite of what HP have told you, if they want their application to work with Firefox they will need to make a version for Firefox. It is not down to Mozilla to make a version of the HP software for Firefox.

Keywords not working as expected

OK, so I decided to go through some of my images today and start adding keywords. I watched the Keyword Quick Tour, read the manual and it all seemed pretty nifty. I particularly liked the Heirachical keywording which, s I understood it, would allow me to apply keywords to some vacation pictures as follows:
New Zealand
-South Island
--Christchurch
--Dunedin
--Southern Alps
---Mt Cook
-North Island
etc etc
What I hoped that this would mean is that if I wanted to find my Mt Cook photos I could just search for Mt Cook. However, if I wanted to find all of the photos from the South Island of New Zealand, say, then I could search for South Island and find all my Mt Cook photos, christchurch photos etc etc.
Unfortunately it doesn't appear that it works this way, I'm getting some very weird search results back. And it gets even weirder if you start changing the heirachy about after you've applied the keywords. So what's going on, does anyone know if Keywords actually work as advertised? I assumed that it was using some sort of intelligent taxonomy id system but now I'm not so sure....
Or am I just getting the wrong end of the stick?
Many thanks,
Phil

if you use the Limited Text search option and search for South Island, you should get all images including those using the sub-keywords. what kind of weird results are you getting?
as for the second part of your question: Aperture doesn't link the keywords in the images to the keywords in the Keyword HUD. I believe it writes the keywords directly to the image and automatically orphans them there.
what's happening when you change the hierarchy?

Smart Albums with Keywords

I have a couple Smart Albums whose criteria include "keyword contains ...." One of these smart albums reveals the photos separated by the Event that contains them and the other shows the photos all together not separated at all. I'm not sure how I did this. So, two questions:
1.) How can I toggle between the two view options described above?
2.) How can I create a third viewing option that separates the photos by keyword? (I.e. A smart album with criteria to include any of multiple keywords and then presents the photos separated by their respective keywords)
Thank you!

"1.) How can I toggle between the two view options described above?
View Menu -> Event Titles - Check and uncheck this as required."
I found "Event Titles" but it is grayed out for some reason. It is grayed out when I am in Smart Albums, regular Albums and Events but not when I am in Photos. It seems that it should toggle for Smart Albums though, considering I have both Smart Albums that separate photos by events and Smart Albums that don't. I'm quite computer savvy, but this one has amazingly stumped me. What do you advise?
Thank you!

Smart Playlist - Recently Added Not Working As Expected

I am attempting to modify my Smart Play list for Recently Added so Videos are not included in the list. I added additional Criteria filtering out Video Kinds that are not "Movies" and "TV Shows". I have indicated that all criteria must be met and have limited the list to 250 selected by Random, though removing this option does not correct the problem. I have also tried removing "match only checked" and "live updates" to no avail.
What are my other options if I can not use "Video Kind" as my filter?
Message was edited by: Jason Golden

I've gotten good results filtering out my movie content just using this:
+Kind does not contain Quicktime+
+Kind does not contain MPEG-4+
...and to get rid of the booklets that come with some iTunes albums:
+Kind does not contain PDF+

IPad connected to TV using dim not working with iOS 7.0.2

Since updating my iPad to iOS 7.0.2, connecting my iPad 4 using hdmi to my tv is not working.
In fact, when connected, everything on my iPad is in slow motion. The iPad moves in slow motion. And there is no image being mirrored on the tv. This use to work fine before the update. Any ideas?

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

Report using charts not work on non-development machine

Post Author: ftsoft
CA Forum: .NET
using visual studio report uses charts. works fine on development machine when I move the web app to a test machine which does NOT contain visual studio, the chart report does not worknote: other reports which only display data records work fine. the space where the charts should be displayed contain the following two lines CrystalReportViewer - CrystalReportViewer1 Error: Fail to render the page. any help would be appreciated

Solution suggested worked for me.
On my test server Crystal was trying to use the c:\temp directory to write the temporary images, my report always ran ok on the test server. On the live server CRW was running under with the ASPNET account and / or my own user account.
I ran FileMon and filtered on the aspnet_wp.exe process across both servers and ran the application up to the point of generating the issue. The FileMon output from the test server showed no issues we as the output from FileMon off the live server showed an access denied message.
I gave access right to the relevant accounts on the relevant folders on the live server and the report ran fine.
