Smart collection containing matches with only two keywords

I have added keyword tags to all my photos with the names of the people in the picture. I then created a smart collection with two names in it. For example Jessica and Ryan. That collection then returns all pictures that have Jessica or Ryan in them. I am trying to get pictures than contain both Jessica and Ryan, but not other names. The only way I have figured out how to do this is by entering in the other names in the doesn't contain field. That seems like a lot of work when I have many other names, and it must be updated each time I add new keywords. Is there an easier way?

There's no way built-in to LR to do what you want without listing every keyword you want to exclude. The Any Filter plugin lets you do it, though you need to understand boolean expressions. See the "Exactly one person in the keywords" example for how to match exactly one person. To get exactly two people, you'd define the filter:
All of
Explicit Keywords = Ryan
Explicit Keywords = Jessica
Explicit Keywords all items
Some of
Keyword = Ryan
Keyword = Jessica
None of
Keyword subkeyword of People

How does Smart Collection "contains words" work

I have some pictures of ear rings which I have tagged with the keywords:
ear rings, jewelry
Note "ear rings" is 1 tag, it does not have a comma between them.
I set up a smart collection with "contains words" and typed "ear rings" (excluding quotes) in as the search criteria. To my surprise LR3 found 0 matches! I changed to "contains all" and then LR3 found the images.
My question is why doesn't the "contains words" work? It would seem that is the one I want to use over "contains all".

What would happen if the keyword were instead ear-rings (or earings)?

Can I create a Smart Collection for images with Paths?

I'd like a folder that automatically collects any image i have in my library in which i've drawn a vector clipping path in Photoshop. Is this possible?

I couldn't figure that out.
I was hoping the file would contain a metadata call that said "Path: yes" or something like that on which I could set up the smart collection but I couldn't find one either in Lightroom or Finder.
It's possible this piece of metadata doesn't exist, and if so I'll solve my problem with keywords, but I wanted to ask before i assumed.

Smart collection drop down does not include keywords

I must have gotten this right once, because I have a smart collection whose only condition is a keyword, which is at the top of the drop down for that collection. Likewise there is a default smart collection that LR must have created, which is called "without keywords" and whose one condition is that keywords are empty. However, every time I try to create a new smart collection, the criteria drop down starts with rating, followed by pick flag, label color, label text, down to the final criteria, "any searchable text" which I understand to be different from keywords, because there is a criteria called keywords. The same is true of attempts to edit existing smart collections. Where did my criteria by keywords go?

That allows you to share the saved criteria to a different catalog or to a catalog on another machine.

Smart Collection for images with changed metadata not written to disk?

The thumbnails in the grid view have a little icon in the upper right corner when the metadata for the file has been changed but not written to the XMP (or whatever) files.
Is it possible to create a LR2 Smart Collection, or maybe a filter, that will find all such images?

Dave, good to know that Ctrl-S on everything will write it all out.
John, I *hate* being blind about what is going on. So I can Ctrl-S on everything and get it all written out. But I can't tell how many images I have changed, or perhaps also sort them by type so I can see what kinds of files will have to be rewritten. I can't even tell if I've remembered to do a Ctrl-S and whether there are images with data only in the catalog and not in the XMP etc. files.
I'm one of those who are more comfortable if everything that can be recorded in XMP is recorded there. But I don't want to leave auto-write to XMP on while re-organizing everything.

When I log onto my macbook, my user account isn't showing up. All that shows up is a gray screen with only two boxes saying "Name" and "Password". How do I fix this?

There was one time where my wi-fi wasn't connecting so I tried to turn it back on. A window popped up but I had alrdy clicked enter before I read it, but it said something like "...will change settings, is that okay...?" And then wi-fi still would not connect. So I tried restarting my computer, but when it turned on, my user account did not show up and all there was on the screen was two boxes that asked for name and password. I was the only person using my macbook so I never set up a password for it. Has anyone had this problem? How do I fix this?

Since I'm not in front of your computer I can't tell what you see - I can only guess and give a hint. So once again, if the disk name on your Mac is "Macintosh HD", when you boot in Recovery Mode, and start up the Terminal in "Utilities" menu, and then type in the command:
    df -k
you should see a list of "volumes" - one of which is named "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" (but yours could be anything) and in that folder there is another folder called "Users" and in that folder is the names of the home directories of the user accounts (and the names that you can enter into the login screen) that you are looking for. So if you are not familiar with using the Terminal you should say so and I can give more details. But assuming you're OK with typing in commands to theTerminal this is what I would try:
    ls -l /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users
and you should see something like the following (my disk name is "Yosemite" so I typed "ls -l /Volumes/Yosemite/Users")
ML9Book:~ xxxx$ ls -l /Volumes/Yosemite/Users
total 0
drwxr-xr-x+ 11 Guest      _guest   374 Oct 25 19:23 Guest
drwxr-xr-x+ 33 Jack       staff   1122 Oct 24 10:49 Jack
drwxrwxrwt   13 root       wheel    442 Dec 27 2013 Shared
drwxr-xr-x+ 38 admin      staff   1292 Oct 25 16:59 admin
drwxr-xr-x+ 15 x13        staff    510 Oct 23 22:41 x13
drwxr-xr-x+ 12 514        staff    408 Oct 23 12:24 x14
So now reboot your mac into normal mode - and you will see the login screen with the two empty boxes.
So the above output tells me that there are 3 users - Jack, x13 and x14 (there is always a Shared user and there might or might not be a Guest user since it depends on how your setup was setup) - and these 3 are the names that I could try and enter into the login screen (in the top or first box). You can try no password, but I don't think you can create accounts without passwords, so this will likely fail. In that case you need to reboot in recovery mode and run the Terminal command again (from the Utilities menu) and do a resetpassword command. Another window will pop up and from there you select the Volume (in my case I selected the Yosemite volume - in your case you would select the "Macintosh HD" if that is what your volume name is). Then select the user account you want to reset the password from the drop-down list of user accounts (it will show you the long and short names, and the short name is what was in the listing above from the "ls -l" command), then enter the new password in the indicated box, and then enter it again in the next box, to make sure you didn't make a typo, and enter a password hint in the last box (optional). Then click the "Save" button and you will see another dialog box pop up telling you that the password was changed but not the Keychain password (hopefully you remember this one) - click the OK button then reboot back in normal mode (click on the Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen and click on Restart).
Does this help?

Drag and Drop game with only two targets

I created a drag and drop activity where their are five boxes that are supposed to go in to two columns in any order. I found a tutorial online that I based this activity off of.
The problem is that the tutorial shows you how to make a target for each mc which has worked for all the activities I've made except for this one where I need only two targets. How would I change it so I can have multiple mc's drop on to one target?
This is my AS:
var score:Number = 0;
var objectoriginalX:Number;
var objectoriginalY:Number;
growing_mc.buttonMode = true;
growing_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);
growing_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
gorging_mc.buttonMode = true;
gorging_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);
gorging_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
dormancy_mc.buttonMode = true;
dormancy_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , pickupObject);
dormancy_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
cystform_mc.buttonMode = true;
cystform_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , pickupObject);
cystform_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
hosttrans_mc.buttonMode = true;
hosttrans_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOW N, pickupObject);
hosttrans_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
function pickupObject(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.startDrag(true);
event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
objectoriginalX = event.target.x;
objectoriginalY = event.target.y;
function dropObject(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.stopDrag();
var matchingTargetName:String = "target" + event.target.name;
var matchingTargetisplayObject = getChildByName(matchingTargetName);
if (event.target.dropTarget != null && event.target.dropTarget.parent == matchingTarget){
event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ DOWN, pickupObject);
event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ UP, dropObject);
event.target.buttonMode = false;
event.target.x = matchingTarget.x;
event.target.y = matchingTarget.y;
score++;
scoreField.text = String(score);
} else {
event.target.x = objectoriginalX;
event.target.y = objectoriginalY;
if(score == 5){
response_mc.gotoAndStop(2);

var matchingTargetName:String =(event.target.name).substring(0, 1);
Change the name of the target to A and B and the mc A1, A2, A3, A4... and B1, B2,B3...

Using Caching Server with Only Two Macs?

I'm currently running OS X Mavericks (10.9.4) on both of my Macs (2008 MB and 2010 MBP). We have a limited Internet download allotment, so I am trying to find ways to reduce the number OS X system update downloads. Someone suggested that I take a look at OS X Server, because it has a Caching Server, which would download the update once and install from a local location when other Macs updated.
Given that I only have two (2) Macs, and one of those would have OS X Server, would that work for me?
Or would the fact that one of my Macs would be running OS X Server make the updates to it incompatible for my other Mac? If that was a problem, would installing OS X Server on both Macs, but only running the Caching Server on one of them resolve the issue?
I don't need OS X Server for anything else.
Thanks!

We have a NetGear router/firewall between the ISP's satellite modem and our computers (my DH's two MS Windows PCs & my two Macs). All of our computers are connected to the network via ethernet cable (wireless network disabled).
My Macs are both network configured with:
     Configure iPv4: Using DHCP
     Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
     Router:     192.168.1.1
     DNS Server:     192.168.1.1
MP IP address: 192.168.1.6
MBP IP address: 192.168.1.2
But, I don't know whether those are static or not. I tried switching my Macs' cable ports on the router, but that did not change the IP addresses. I realize that didn't prove anything, though it would have if the IP addresses had changed.
I used to be able to download updates from an Apple support web page, but things are not so simple anymore. I had a discussion about this a while back at in the Safari Community.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26456050?ac_cid=op123456#26456050
Aside from the suggestion to install OS X Server, a couple suggestions were made for manually downloading or copying a package:
Download a log from an arcane URL; try to find the appropriate update in that log; download the update using the URL in the log file. I can readily see a couple downfalls in this scenario:
The arcane URL could be changed, so that I would no longer know its location.
I could easily select the wrong update from that log file.
Do the update on one Mac, watching folder /Library/Updates to copy the downloaded package. However, that package would automatically be deleted by the system, so I would have to be able to do the copy prior to its removal. I'm not clear as to how this would work, given that the download and installation are automatically performed, and I have no indication as to when the former ends and the latter starts.
In either case, the downloaded packages would not make any suitability checks, so I could easily mess up a system (though it would probably not be likely if I keep my Macs OS synchronized). Still a trashed system can be a headache even with good backups, due to the time it would take to restore a system. That's why I considered going the OS X Server route, but I know about zilch when it comes to networking.

Cancelling with only two months left to go... or s...

Having taken out an 18 month contract in 2012 (Nov) We were happy BT users.
In august 2013 we moved house - taking our broadband with us. All went smoothly.
The landlord has decided the sell the property we live in meaning that two months before the contract is due for renewal we're moving out.
We're moving back in with the parents whilst we look for another place to live. Unfortunately upon ringing BT to discuss possible solutions I am told that it'll cost £170 to cancel early...
I ask whether its possible to wait for the extra two months but cancel my line rental and simply pay the remainder of broadband and phone usage. To which I am told that by moving house I have extended my contract length - at no point during my calls with BT was I made aware of this. When I asked why the answer i received was because a new phoneline was installed at the property. There was an existing phoneline at the property, which was BT and again no one at BT ever suggested otherwise.
I am happy to pay the two months worth of internet useage etc £27pcm until my contract is up but what I don't understand is why and how they have extended my contract without sending me revised agreements or even discussing this with me.
I am more than happy to compramise or at least speak to someone with the authority to compramise with me. I'm astounded by how difficult this is especially as BT own the majority if not the entire intrastructure of the area if not the UK.
My issue is that when we move into our new address (date unknown) we would've continued to use BT and probably extended the contract to BT TV too, however it seems that BT don't seem to worry about brand loyalty or future earnings.

UPDATE,
After numerous calls with BT to actually descipher when my 'contractual obligations' terminate with them I have been given several dates. its seems that no one is actually sure when my contract ends with them!?
I spoke with customer care this afternoon 1:30ish and I had a very helpful woman deal with me. She was incredibly paitient and when I asked her at what point I had been made aware of my contract extension she couldn't tell me. The only corrispondance I had recieved was an email saying that my service was working...
She also agreed that it sounded odd that I would cancel a 18month contract and take another one out for no gain in performance or benefit.
Looking around online it seems that this is common with BT and there are several cases whereby their terms and conditions do not hold up.
I really wish what few moderators there are on this site (i'm really surprised that BT don't dedicate more people to this place) will be able to assist me some how.
Otherwise I'm waiting on Lindsey Jones (sp) to call me...
my issue with all of this is that at no point has anyone told me explicitly that by altering any service with BT i therefore extend my contract length with them.
It is all very well citing 'terms and conditions' BUT something as serious and costly as extending contract lengths should not be hidden away. the company has a duty of care to inform the customer that above all else.
I have asked for a copy of recordings to be sent to me under the freedom of information act, however I was promised an email with the correct form today - so far nothing has turned up...

VMotion with only two hosts make any sense?

Glad to help :)
VMotion is awesome as an extra freebie, but on its own, just not worth much.
But it is a good reason to look at alternative platforms as VMotion, HA and tons of other features are free with all packages of VMware's competitors. VMware's value proposition that used to be very good has mostly evaporated these days.

I can replicate and migrate VMs with Veeam between two hosts as it is. What would VMotion bring to the table that Veeam can't do now? Can VServer/VMotion "premigrate/replicate" itself to the secondary host but remained turned off and only activate in the event that the host where the primary VCenter Server were to fail? Or am I speaking nonsense?
VMotion is seamless, Veeam doesn't compete. VMotion does not require the machine to be off during the move. It's invisible to the end users (when it works - I've seen companies have outages from thinking VMotion was safe to use when they didn't have a green zone to bring the systems down. It encourages hubris.)
VMotion is not for protection, it is for maintenance. HA is for failure modes.

Cluster with only two machines.

Is'nt there a restriction for running All WLS cluster machines on the same

On opening, the browser comes up with not an address navigation bar, but with only two google search windows. How can I make it open with an actual address line?

It's all been said in the question.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

Smart Collection matching a multi-word Keyword

I have the following multi-word keywords:
"through the years"
"kelly through the years"
"mike through the years"
I want to create a smart collection which only matches if the keyword is "through the years". I do not want the smart collection to match the other two.
Is this possible?

I agree that this is a design oversight that should be corrected. However, one could argue that a keyword entirely contained in another should be represented by a hierarchy. While the OP does not make it clear what the relationship is between "through the years" alone and "kelly through the years" it would seem that the concept of "kelly through the years" would be better represented with keyword beneath "through the years" and as such would not need to contain the string "through the years".
Also the OP states that the keyword "Kelly" exists on it's own and is distinct from "kelly through the years". It is not clear to me why just the keywords "through the years" and "Kelly" could not exist as flat keyword (no hierarchy). To achieve the concept of "kelly through the years" you would apply both. Then a simple AND condition would find the desired images.
In short I think this is a case of a flawed keyword hierarchy.
Again I agree that an exact match option should be provided.

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".

Smart Collection Criteria (keywords)

I'm just starting to create some Smart Collections, which is a nice feature that I'm trying to understand. I've read some of the tips and tricks, but I'm trying to figure out something:
I want to create a smart collection that has a particular keyword, but no other keywords. For example, I may have a bunch of photos with several different keywords, but I want to single out one keyword for the smart collection. I don't just want photos with that keyword, but photos with ONLY that keyword. I see you can specify "contains", "contains all", "contains words", "doesn't contain" - but nothing that specifies "contains ONLY".
So let's say I tag my photos with the names of my kids (we have three of them). I want to single out photos of just my son, Brandon. If I do the "contains" criteria, it's going to give me all of the Brandon photos, but also the photos with my other kids in the pictures as well. I don't see a way to specify that I ONLY want photos with the keyword "Brandon" and no other keywords in the photos.
Is there a way to do this? Or am I just not thinking clearly? ;-)

You can specify "Brandon", "but not Jason" "but not Susie."- that'd be all right for your kids, but I have almost no photos with just one keyword. I'd usually have setting or holiday or vacation or something else besides my kid's names in any event.
