Smart Collection collecting too many keywords

I created a smart collection with only one rule - Keywords/Contains/'Landscape' - but many other images that do not contain that keyword appear in the collection. It doesn't happen with any other keyword as far as I know. I tried re-creating the collection, re-keywording my images, etc. but with no success. How can I fix this problem?

Darbs,
I suspect that Landscape is a parent keyword for several others. Look in your keyword list to see if that's the case.
Alternatively, you could set the Keyword Tags entry to "Keywords & containing keywords" to see what's going on:

Too many keywords, can't see them all in search?

Hi all,
I am a recent "convert" from the Beastmaster, and am trying to digest iPhoto coming from Adobe Photoshop Elements for PC.
My keywords imported fine from PE to iPhoto, but I seem to be having a problem. When I click on the keyword search at the bottom of the window, the pane with keywords comes up, but only a portion of them (from what looks like alphabetically letter "D" to "Z". It is as if 0-9 and A-C are "above" the top of my screen, yet I can't widen the window or scroll up in the keywords. Any ideas? I am trying to search by a "b" keyword and I can't seem to get to it to search!
Thanks.

oliburner:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's a common complaint. One workaround is to use one of the 3rd party keyword apps like Keyword Manager which will let you arrange keywords hierarchically.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Aperture 3: too many keywords after A2 library import

Hi *,
I'm currently trying to migrate my Aperture 2 library to Aperture 3. Apart from the usual problems (like not enough disk space even though I have plenty) I noticed that my keyword list has changed after the import:
in A2 I had neatly organized folder and subfolders for my keywords, but in A3 the top level of the hierarchy is clustered with seemingly random keywords from my pictures. And sometimes even keywords that look completely unfamiliar. It seems that A3 fails to always sort the found keywords correctly into the subfolders.
Has anyone else noticed that? Am I doing somethign wrong in the import?
BR/Joern

I had the same issue. I thought that it was because of the Faces feature (before I turned it off) adding new keywords. But going through some of them, it seems that A3 picked up some ancient keywords I had in my older photos when I was using iViewMedia before A1.
Anyways, 30 min of work to delete or merge keywords and all's well.

Photoshop Lightroom 3.2 (too) many folders

Hello,
For some time I have an issue on lightroom 3.
I have a network volume subfolder wich contains 60000 (75GB) photo's in 5000 folders.
If I import the "bunch" of pictures, it seems to work but I cannot see al te folders. The structure is : 1 folder containing almost all the subfolders one level lower, thus no many directory levels but many folders "aside" each other.
If i trie ro reimport one subfolder (from the ones I cannot see) lightroom marks me that the folders are already imported. I already tried to start with a fresh catalog, but this gives no relief.
Also my lightroom sometimes crashes, I always send an error report.
My system is Win XP SP3.
Please help me, I find if I buy such a high level program that it his to do the job ...
Olivier

Just few thoughts that came to my mind.
Lightroom had (still has?) a "feature" in windows version that it couldn't show keyword lists which had more than 1300+(?) keywords visible (rest were just truncated. Keywords worked normally but couldn't be seen in a keyword panel), because some insane (windows?) restriction that panels could be only certain amount of pixels long. Only solution was to build keyword hierarcy which didn't show too many keywords at once.
Could same "feature" affect folders view?
Are missing folders at the end of your folder list?

Too many BPM data collection jobs on backend system

Hi all,
We find about 40,000 data collection jobs running on our ECC6 system, far too many.
We run about 12 solutions, all linked to the same backend ECC6 system. Most probably this is part of the problem. We plan to scale down to 1 solution rather than the country-based approach.
But here we are now, and I have these questions.
1. How can I relate a BPM_DATA_COLLECTION job on ECC6 back to a particular solution ? The job log give me monitor-id, but I can't relate that back to a solution.
2. If I deactivate a solution in the solution overview, does that immediately cancel the data collection for that solution ?
3. In the monitoring schedule on a business process step we sometimes have intervals defined as 5 minutes, sometimes 60. Strange thing is that the drop-down of that field does not always give us the same list of values. Even within a solution I see that in one step I have the choice of a long list of intervals, in the next step in that same business process I can only choose between blank and 5 minutes.
How is this defined ?
Thanks in advance,
Rad.

Hi,
How did you managed to get rid of this issue. i am facing the same.
Thanks,

Please organize osx launchpad icons in CS6 collection(there are too many adobe icons)

Adobe applications create too many icons in launchpad on osx. Is there a way to automate organising them in a more elegant fashion? Launchpad gets full of red adobe icons(2 pages of them) especially if you have master collection installed. Please put them all in one folder or something.

Thanks for your input here. We will look into it to see if there is an improvement we can make in the future.

Smart Collection on a single keyword in Lightroom4

Hi
I´m having some trouble figuring out this one:
I have twins, a boy and a girl. I take a lot of photos of them. I want to make a smart collection for each of the kids separately as well as of photos of them together. There are also lots of photos of them with grandparents and aunts and uncles. I keyword all my photos with who is in them. Is there a simple way to make a Smart Collection for ONLY one keyword. Say one collection for BOY and one for GIRL, i know i can specify all the nots and so on but i would like to say; make smart collection on photos that ONLY have this one particular keyword. Is this possible?
Thank you!
Frode

Robs suggested solution is simple and effective of course, but if I’ve understood correctly could something like this work…
have a keyword “FriendsAndRelatives” (non-export) which “contains” the Keyword names of all your friends and relatives and your Boy and Girl Keywords sitting outside this say under a Keyword “Twins”.
ie
FriendsAndRelatives (non-exported)
Relative1
Relative2
etc
Friend1
Friend2
etc
Twins (non-exported)
BoysName
GirlsName
I think you can then do interesting Smart collections such as …
Keywords Contains BoysName
AND NOT Keywords Contains GirlsName
AND NOT Keywords Contains FriendsANDRelatives.
Or…
Keywords Contains BoysName
AND Keywords Contains GirlsName
AND NOT Keywords Contains FriendsANDRelatives.
Etc etc
I may have missed the point though, if so … sorry!
Alan.
PS - As an interesting example, I have an Animals Heirarchical Keyword tree which contains a tree of classifications 5 levels deep.
I can create a smart collection which shows all my non-bird wildlife as ...
Contains "Animal" AND Does not contain "Bird" and Does not Contain "Domesticated".

Better filtering for smart collections - by number of keywords

There is a nice feature for smart collections that allow filtering keywords by "are empty" and "aren't empty"
I would like to filter keywords by X number of keywords.
It's great to have a collection that tells me that there are no keywords but if I add only one keyword I then have to find the image by that keyword.
As a work flow this doesn't work great. I want to start with images with no keywords, then work through images with 1 keyword and 2 etc. To continue the process you would also need to remove the images from the smart collection (like remove from collection for standard collections) being able to remove the image from collection of has only 3 keywords should apply also to has 4 keywords etc. This way if you have an image that only needs 1 keyword you don't have to remove the image from every progressively higher amount of keyword collections.

Great, you are going to make me move my lazy behind and find it for you, aren't you? You owe me...

Too many values when trying insert records by bulk collect

Hi
Can anyone advice on the bulk collect error please?
Following is my code where I am getting too many values error...
TYPE p_empid_type IS TABLE OF emp%ROWTYPE;
      v_empid               p_empid_type;
   BEGIN
      SELECT DISTINCT emp_id , 'ABC'
      BULK COLLECT INTO v_empid
                 FROM emp
                WHERE empid IN (SELECT ord_id
                                   FROM table_x
                                  WHERE column_x = 'ABC');
      FORALL i IN v_empid.FIRST .. v_empid.LAST
         INSERT INTO my_table
              VALUES v_empid(i);
      COMMIT;
PL/SQL: ORA-00913: too many values in line - BULK COLLECT INTO v_empid

Hello, since you're SELECTing a constant string, why not:
TYPE p_empid_type IS TABLE OF INTEGER;
      v_empid               p_empid_type;
   BEGIN
      SELECT DISTINCT emp_id
      BULK COLLECT INTO v_empid
                 FROM emp
                WHERE empid IN (SELECT ord_id
                                   FROM table_x
                                  WHERE column_x = 'ABC');
      FORALL i IN v_empid.FIRST .. v_empid.LAST
         INSERT INTO my_table
              VALUES v_empid(i), 'ABC';
Edit Untested: may not work
This would be the best BULK COLLECT of all:
INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO my_table
SELECT DISTINCT emp_id , 'ABC'
FROM emp
WHERE empid IN (SELECT ord_id
      FROM table_x
     WHERE column_x = 'ABC');
      COMMIT;

Cannot create a calendar collection because there are too many already present in

My OS X Server (Yosemite) error log is throwing this error:
2014-10-22 00:03:07+0800 [-] [caldav-2] [-] [twistedcaldav.storebridge.CalendarCollectionResource#error] Cannot create a calendar collection because there are too many already present in <twistedcaldav.directory.calendar.DirectoryCalendarHomeResource object at 0x10743a750>
...when I attempt to add more than 50 lists in the Reminders app. I had a similar issue in Mavericks. Is this "50" number available to modify in a config file somewhere?
My plan is to manage GTD-type projects in my Reminders apps (on iOS and OS X), but this limit is keeping me from creating a list for EVERY project I have.

Woohoo! I set the integer to "500" and I now have over 200 lists added, and syncing, to my Reminders app and related tools.
Here's exactly what I did after reading the response from Linc Davis:
Stop the Calendar service
Create /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Config/caldav-user.plist
Edit contents of "caldav-user.plist", setting your desired integer value:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
     <dict>
       <key>MaxCollectionsPerHome</key>
       <integer>500</integer>
     </dict>
</plist>
   4. Start the Calendar service
Enjoy your many more lists.
Note that a file created in a place other than ~/ may have permissioning issues. To get around this, I made a copy of /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/caldavd-system.plist, then renamed and edited that file with nano in terminal.

Keyword Search showing too many photos

I have over 22,000 photos and over 300 keywords for them. Sadly I cannot search by keyword since the keyword list only shows the last 146 keywords on the screen (a known bug that, in my case, only shows keywords beginning with p-z) and there is no way to scroll to any keywords before it. I have therefor taken to entering the keywords manual in the "all" field, which worked fine in iPhoto 08, but reveals way too many photos in iPhoto 11. From what I can tell, if there is one photo with that keyword in any given event, it will show me every photo in that event. So, for example, if I want to see "Jane" and there is one photo of Jane in the Hawaii" event, it will show me every photo in the "Hawaii" event.
I have occassioanlly stumbled upon workarounds for this, I think entering a space after the keyword or something, but can't recall any concrete solution that seems to work now. Can anyone help me with this extremely frustrating problem? (And I know about Smart Albums. That won't solve this one.)

Did you ever solve this problem. I have it too and it's driving me crazy.

Cant' search for keywords - there are too many of them

It's probably a known bug/issue, but when you have to many keywords, you can't search for all of them.
This grey box pops up with all your keywords, which are ordered alphabetically. Unfortunately I'm not able see my keywords from A to L, because there are too many.
Here is an image to further illustrate what I mean.

Thanks, what a bummer . I was hoping for a fix or a freeware solution :P.
Is there a way to notify Apple about this? Keywords seem poorly designed, or at least not thought through, compared to other programs.

FontBook and "Show Fonts" stuck because of bad smart font collection-how to delete/reset?

Hi, I tried to make a change to the "Fixed width" smart font collection in FontBook, to make it find the "Adobe Source Code Pro" font.
Now FontBook and any "Show Fonts" dialog are stuck within 1-2 seconds of launching, especially when clicking on the "Fixed Width" collection.
How can I either reset the "Fixed Width" collection to its original, or delete it altogether?
Console output when crashes happen:

I have tried to clear my font caches and to remove the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Font* entries but nothing helps. Any idea where FontBook stores its smart collections, so that I can delete them

I had a similar problem where I created a new smart collection and fontbook became permanently frozen regardless of reboots of the application or the machine itself. Here's what worked for me:
Find a new font to install.
With Fontbook closed, open the new font file from Finder by double clicking. It should default to opening the file in a Fontbook sub-window mini-preview.
Click "Install." This should install the font as usual and give Fontbook a new script to replace the frozen loop it was in.
Delete the evil "smart collection."

TOO many OPEN CURSORS during loop of INSERT's

Running ODP.NET beta2 (can't move up yet but will do that soon)
I don't think it is related with ODP itself but probably on how .Net works with cursors. We have a for/next loop that executes INSERT INTO xxx VALUES (:a,:b,:c)
statements. Apparently, when monitoring v$sysstat (current open cursors) we see these raising with 1 INSERT = 1 cursor. If subsequently we try to perform another action, we get max cursors exceeded. We allready set open_cursor = 1000, but the number of inserts can be very high. Is there a way to release these cursors (already wrote oDataAdaptor.dispose, oCmd.dispose but this does not help.
Is it normal that each INSERT has it's own cursor ? they all have the same hashvalue in v$open_cursor. They seem to be released after a while, especially when moving to another asp.net page, but it's not clear when that happens and if it is possible to force the release of the (implicit?) cursors faster.
Below is a snippet of the code, I unrolled a couple of function-calls into the code so this is just an example, not sure it will run without errors like this, but the idea should be clear (the code looks rather complex for what it does but the unrolled functions make the code more generic and we have a database-independend datalayer):
Try
' Set the Base Delete statement
lBaseSql = _
"INSERT INTO atable(col1,col2,col3) " & _
"VALUES(:col1,:col2,:col3)"
' Initialize a transaction
lTransaction = oConnection.BeginTransaction()
' Create the parameter collection, containing for each
' row in the list the arguments
For Each lDataRow In aList.Rows
lOracleParamters = New OracleParameterCollection()
lOracleParameter = New OracleParameter("luserid", OracleDbType.Varchar2,
_ CType(aCol1, Object))
lOracleParamters.Add(lOracleParameter)
lOracleParameter = New OracleParameter("part_no", OracleDbType.Varchar2, _
CType(lDataRow.Item("col2"), Object))
lOracleParamters.Add(lOracleParameter)
lOracleParameter = New OracleParameter("revision", OracleDbType.Int32, _
CType(lDataRow.Item("col3"), Object))
lOracleParamters.Add(lOracleParameter)
' Execute the Statement;
' If the execution fails because the row already exists,
' then the insert should be considered as succesfull.
Try
Dim aCommand As New OracleCommand()
Dim retval As Integer
'associate the aConnection with the aCommand
aCommand.Connection = oConnection
'set the aCommand text (stored procedure name or SQL statement)
aCommand.CommandText = lBaseSQL
'set the aCommand type
aCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
'attach the aCommand parameters if they are provided
If Not (lOracleParameters Is Nothing) Then
Dim lParameter As OracleParameter
For Each lParameter In lOracleParameters
'check for derived output value with no value assigned
If lParameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.InputOutput _
And lParameter.Value Is Nothing Then
lParameter.Value = Nothing
End If
aCommand.Parameters.Add(lParameter)
Next lParameter
End If
Return
' finally, execute the aCommand.
retval = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
' detach the OracleParameters from the aCommand object,
' so they can be used again
cmd.Parameters.Clear()
Catch ex As Exception
Dim lErrorMsg As String
lErrorMsg = ex.ToString
If Not lTransaction Is Nothing Then
lTransaction.Rollback()
End If
End Try
Next
lTransaction.Commit()
Catch ex As Exception
lTransaction.Rollback()
Throw New DLDataException(aConnection, ex)
End Try

I have run into this problem as well. To my mind
Phillip's solution will work but seems completey unnecessary. This is work the provider itself should be managing.
I've done extensive testing with both ODP and OracleClient. Here is one of the scenarios: In a tight loop of 10,000 records, each of which is either going to be inserted or updated via a stored procedure call, the ODP provider throws the "too many cursor errors at around the 800th iteration. With over 300 cursors being open. The exact same code with OracleClient as the provider never throws an error and opens up 40+ cursors during execution.
The applicaation I have updates a Oracle8i database from a DB2 database. There are over 30 tables being updated in near real time. Reusing the command object is not an option and adding all the code Phillip did for each call seems highly unnecessary. I say Oracle needs to fix this problem. As much as I hate to say it the microsoft provider seems superior at this point.
