So many folders, with so many copies
I recently upgraded to iPhoto 6, and I've noticed that I've now got several copies of each picture. I'm on a PowerBook G4, and the multiple copies are really eating up my HD. I'm in the process of transferring the entire library to another computer (and not iphoto), but I'm using a 2GB flash drive, and it's a long and painful process. I'm trying to figure out why I have so many copies, and if there's anything I can do to decrease the number of copies.
Currently my iphoto library has five folders of years (out of nine), a Data folder, which looks like it has the entire library, a Found folder, with only a few photos, the cache folder, a Modified folder, which appears to have far more photos than I've actually modified (though I suppose I could believe that I've rotated that many), and an Originals, which seems to have everything. Do I need the year folders in the base directory? Do I need a Data, and an Originals? Is there any way to have fewer copies of these pictures? I know I'm not supposed to just start deleting willy nilly (something I learned from screwin' up my itunes...), but it really seems like this isn't all necessary. I'm up to nearly 8GB in photos, and I don't really have that many, and most of them are not that huge.
Also, if I delete a photo in iphoto, will it remove every copy of that photo from the machine? If not, how do I go about doin' this? I needs my space. I can barely copy a folder these days.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
I don't suppose there's a way to limit the number of additional copies made?
No - iPhoto always keeps the original and a thumbnail and if you make any modifications of any sort a modified version (only the latest modified version)
When I delete a photo in iphoto, will it delete every copy?
Yes - if you delete from the Roll (deleting from an album only removed the photo from that album) by moving to the iPhoto trash and then emptying the iPhoto trash - the finder is not (and can not be) involved in this process
I've been copying the files directly from a folder just to move them to a PC not using iphoto. I figured that so long as I wasn't going to iphoto, and I wasn't deleting anything, it wouldn't matter.
Sort of - any time you are in the iPhoto library you risk making a error and causing problems so it is not recommended - and it is hard to get the correct version this way since there are originals, thumbnails and possibly modified versions to choose from - if you export from iPhoto you know you have the current version
The photos appear to be transferring completely, but as I intend to delete many of the photos from iphoto once I've backed them all up on the other machine, I would like to make sure I'm doing this properly.
Again only delete using iPhoto

Finder Very Slow - Folders with Many Files
I've recently noticed that whenever I use Finder to access folders that contain a large number of files (100 or more files in a folder)... it seems to take an inordinately long time for the files to be displayed. Being relatively new to the Mac world and maybe not fully cognizant of some of the finer "tweaking" options....
Is there any way to speed up Finder's response on these types of (large file count) folders?
(When using Parallels/Windows on my Mac, I can open this same folders almost instantly; no delay when using the My Computer or Windows explorer apps)Rick,
The folders (that seem to take sooo long to open with Finder) are on my Mac and some are also on a networked drive. The folders were created using Finder. The files contained in these folders are various types, JPG images, MP3, DOC, XLS Spreadsheets, and/or miscellaneous data files.
The only thing that all of these problematic folders have in common is that they contain a large number of files; some folders with as many as 400 files.... -
Why does iPhoto have so many copies of my pictures? I have found the same photo's in three folders. The first two folders are Original and Modified, which seem to be self explanatory, then there is another folder called Data. That means that iPhoto has three copies of most of my pictures, assuming that I modified them. This seems to apply to even simple rotation of images.
Is this correct? How can I keep so many copies from being kept in different places?The Data folder files are the thumbnail files that iPhoto uses for smaller rendering of the pictures. Any photo that gets edited, including those which have been auto-rotated by the camera, will get a copy created in the Modified folder. Unless you edit all of your photos, you'll usually only have one full sized version and a thumbnail of each photo. It's the nature of the beast. You can't change it.
What with the low cost of additional HDs, photo storage shouldn't be a problem these days like it used to be. -
Many copies of a pictures on Iphoto.
Hello!
I would like to know where I can find more information about using Iphoto. I had to remove all my pictures from Iphoto because there was a mess, many copies of one picture. I deleted some in order to organize them, but they look with low resolution and out of focus.
Thank you for your help.Hi tetrozono;
I think you have posted your question in the wrong forum. Since your question is on iPhoto and you are running a Mac Book, you can't be running OS 9. I would suggest that you repost you question over in the iPhoto forum.

How many copies of 10.2.8 can I have on one HDD? To partition or not to ...
Hi,
I hope that this makes sense to those who read it. If, it doesn't then, please - someone say so. In case some of you recognize my monicker it has been a good while since I visited and asked for help.
Kappy, I didn't understand everything - had some health issues thus, I couldn't followup?
I have finally installed my Seagate internal, thus my return visit.
I have just installed a Seagate Barracuda 7200, 120 GB HDD. I've made it my master drive. I've partitioned it into four parts. 1) for OS 10.2, 2) for 10.3, 3) for 10.4 and 4) for OS 9. I have not yet put it to use. I made my original Deskstar 40GB the slave, it has three partitions. 1) for 10.2, 2) for OS 9 and legacy 3rd party apps and 3) for photos and videos. I also have an Maxtor One-Touch II External 300 GB FW for backup. Long story - it has 4 partitions, 1) 10.2, 2) 10.3 and .4, 3) for video and photo storage and 4) for OS 9.
I have several questions.
1) How many copies of OS 10.2.8 can I have on any one drive - is my Seagate and my Deskstar now considered to be one drive?
1b) Can I have OS 10.2.8 (on both? of them)?
1c) Can I have 10.2.8 on that/both of those drives without causing conflicts or any other problems?
2) I've been reading through the discussions to see if I could find an answer to any of these questions. What I did find was several different topics that include references about not partitioning new drives.
2a) What are the advantages to partitioning and what are the potential problems/disadvantages created by partitioning a new HDD?
2b) Isn't it necessary to partition a HDD if I'm going to have 10.2, 10.3(maybe), 10.4 and OS 9 all on the same HDD?
2c) Aren't there going to be conflicts especially because of OS 9 and 10.4 being on the same partition?
I will appreciate all replies, corrections, suggestions and requests for clarifications and/or request for additional info.
Thanks,
J Ivan
P.S. I'm now going to bed and I won't be back on-line until late this afternoon.

PowerMac G4 DP Gigabit Ethernet Mac OS X (10.2.x)1) How many copies of OS 10.2.8 can I have on any one drive - is my Seagate and my Deskstar now considered to be one drive?

1c) Can I have 10.2.8 on that/both of those drives without causing conflicts or any other problems?
You cannot have more than one copy of OS X on a single volume (partition), but you can install any number of versions of OS X on separate volumes (partitions.)
2) I've been reading through the discussions to see if I could find an answer to any of these questions. What I did find was several different topics that include references about not partitioning new drives.
2a) What are the advantages to partitioning and what are the potential problems/disadvantages created by partitioning a new HDD?
There are no inherent advantages to partitioning in general except that it may provide a convenient means for organization. However, if you desire to install multiple operating systems, partitioning is necessary to keep each OS separate and to enable you to use OPTION booting. The exception to this is installing OS X and OS 9 on the same volume.
2b) Isn't it necessary to partition a HDD if I'm going to have 10.2, 10.3(maybe), 10.4 and OS 9 all on the same HDD?
Yes. See previous answers.
2c) Aren't there going to be conflicts especially because of OS 9 and 10.4 being on the same partition?
No. And there would be no problems having OS 9 and 10.4 on the same volume. If they are on the same volume you simple cannot use OPTION booting to switch between them. -

Automator action with dropdown to make folders with predetermined names
Is there an action/workflow that will allow me to create Folders using a dropdown menu of predetermined names for those folders?
I haven't seen one, and since no one has posted about one yet, I'll throw this out.
I modified a couple of handlers I have laying around into a Run AppleScript action that will make folders from a list of names. The list can be set in a Get Specified Text action, with the "menu" being a Choose from List action:
Tested workflow:
1) Get Specified Text (your folder names, separated by returns) for example:
Testing
Another test
My Spiffy New Folder
2) Filter Paragraphs (Return paragraphs that are not empty)
3) Choose from List (Prompt: Please choose folder names:)
4) Run AppleScript:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters}
make folders with names from a list
input: a list of names (text items)
output: a list of Finder items (aliases) created
set output to {}
set DestinationFolder to missing value -- set the destination path here if desired
try -- verify that the path is valid
set DestinationFolder to DestinationFolder as alias

set DestinationFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the location to make the selected folders:")
end try
repeat with AnItem in the input
GetUniqueName for AnItem from DestinationFolder -- avoid duplicates
try
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at DestinationFolder with properties {name:the result}
set the end of the output to the result as alias
end try
end repeat
return output
end run
to GetUniqueName for SomeName from SomeFolder
check if SomeName exists in SomeFolder, creating a new unique name if needed
parameters - SomeName [text]: a name.extension to check for
SomeFolder [mixed]: a folder to check
returns [text]: a unique name
set {Counter, Divider} to {"00", "_"}
set Here to -(offset of "." in ((reverse of text items of SomeName) as text)) - 1
set TheName to text 1 thru Here of SomeName
if Here is -1 then -- no extension
set TheExtension to ""
else
set TheExtension to text (Here + 1) thru -1 of SomeName
end if
set NewName to TheName & TheExtension
tell application "System Events" to tell (get name of items of folder (SomeFolder as text))
repeat while it contains NewName
set Counter to text 2 thru -1 of ((100 + Counter + 1) as text) -- leading zero
set NewName to TheName & Divider & Counter & TheExtension

- the output from the Run AppleScript action is a list of aliases to the folders created, if you want that information to do something with. -
Sharing two folders with the same name
Hi all.
I have two folders with the same name and I would like to be able to share these under different share names. Problem is, this doesn't seem to be possible.
For instance, try doing this in File Sharing under Server Preferences:
* Click +, add /Data/Media
* Edit permissions on "Media" to permit guest access
* Click +, add /Volumes/Drobo/Media
* Edit permissions on "Media" (make sure you click the right one!) to permit guess access.
This appears on the surface to work, but what it has actually done is to delete the share for /Data/Media. If you exit the File Sharing pane and go back into it again, it will be gone.
Server Admin has the ability to rename a share's name from AFP,SMB,FTP,etc. but this doesn't appear to help either -- I tried adding the second media first, renaming its shared name to Media2 over in Server Admin, and then adding the first. Server Preferences just deletes the second one.
Such a basic thing as being able to rename the share from Server Preferences would appear to be enough to get around this, but since Apple didn't make it possible, I have no idea how to proceed.
Does anyone else have this working, and how did you do it?The best way to solve this, would be make sure you use database paraneter GLOBAL_NAME, to change your database from lets say orcl1 to orcl1.mycorpdomain.com, by this you can make sure each database actualy has a different name. Your other database then could be named orcl1.example.com.
When chaning the display name in EM you might face other issues later on when for instance trying to run a restore using EM for one of these databases.

When saving a File OS Is Creating Multiple Folders With The Same File Name
Not sure what I changed but, now when I save a any file (ppt. word, Keynote,Pages e.g.,) to the desktop or any other location the OS will also create multiple file folders with the same file name as the file I'm saving. Inside the folders are what appears to be files locating the saved files. What can I do to fix this problem?
I'm using the 10.7.2 version

It looks like a finder bug. To replicate, I surf to any website, I right-click on a jpg image, select "Save Image As" and in the window that pops up I type in the filename "000.jpg", I select the folder Pictures, and click on Save.
BTW, I don't know why, but the file was saved only as "000" without the file extension ".jpg". Does anybody know why?
the extension is simply hidden. go to the get info panel for the file and uncheck the option to hide the extension.
Then I surf to another image, and again I save it as "000.jpg" and now it asks me if I want to replace the existing filename, although the existing one is "000" and I try to save as "000.jpg", so I say yes, and then magically the file is saved with the full filename including the extension "000.jpg"
When I did it a couple of times, always saving image as "000.jpg" from various sources, I ended up with two distinct files named "000" and both in the same folder Pictures.
Please advise.
it sounds to me like you saved one file as 000.jpg and the other and 000.jpg.jpg.
check the info panels for the files for full names to verify if this is the case. -
Fresh installation of Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012.
Our first test account cannot access their email via Outlook but can access fine through OWA. The following message appears - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize
your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)" is displayed.
If I turn off cached Exchange mode, setting the email account to not
cache does not resolve the issue and i get a new error message - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. The file (path\profile name).ost is not an Outlook data file (.ost). Very odd since it creates its own .ost file when you run it for the first
time.
I cleared the appdata local Outlook folder and I tested on a new laptop that has never connected to Outlook, same error message on any system.
Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access service is running.
No warning, error or critical messages in the eventlog, it's like the healthiest server alive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't encountered this issue with previous versions of Exchange.So it looks like a lot of people are having this issue and seeing how Exchange 2013 is still new (relatively to the world) there isn't much data around to answer this. I've spend ALOT of time trying to figure this out.
Here is the answer. :) - No I don't know all but I'm going to try to give you the most reasonable answer to this issue, in a most logical way.
First thing I did when I was troubleshooting this issue is that I ignored Martina Miskovic's suggestion for Step4 http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj218640(EXCHG.150)because it didn't make sense to me because I was trying to connect
Outlook not outside the LAN but actually inside. However, Martina's suggestion does fix the issue if it's applied in the correct context.
This is where the plot thickens (it's stew). She failed to mention that things like SSL (which I configure practically useless - anyone who ever worked in a business environment where the owner pretty much trusts anyone in the company, otherwise they don't
work there - very good business practice in my eyes btw, can confirm that...) are some sort of fetish with Microsoft lately. Exchange 2013 was no exception.
In exchange 2003, exchange 2007 and exchange 2010 - you could install it and then go to outlook and set it up. And when outlook manual Microsoft Exchange profile would ask you for server name, you would give it and give the name of the person who you setting
up - as long as machine is on the domain, not much more is needed. IT JUST WORKS! :) What a concept, if the person already on premises of the business - GIVE HIM ACCESS. I guess that was too logical for Microsoft. Now if you're off premises you can use things
like OutlookAnywhere - which I might add had their place under that scenario.
In Exchange 2013, the world changed. Ofcourse Microsoft doesn't feel like telling it in a plain english to people - I'm sure there is an article somewhere but I didn't find it. Exchange 2013 does not support direct configuration of Outlook like all of it's
previous versions. Did you jaw drop? Mine did when I realized it. So now when you are asked for your server name in manual outlook set up and you give it Exchange2013.yourdomain.local - it says cannot connect to it. This happens because ALL - INTERNAL AND
EXTERNAL connection are now handled via OutlookAnywhere. You can't even disable that feature and have it function the reasonable way.
So now the question still remains - how do you configure outlook. Well under server properties there is this nice section called Outlook anywhere. You have a chance to configure it's External and Internal address. This is another thing that should be logical
but it didn't work that way for me. When I configured the external address different from the internal - it didn't work. So I strongly suggest you get it working with the same internal address first and then ponder how you want to make it work for the outside
users.
Now that you have this set up you have to go to virtual directories and configure the external and internal address there - this is actually what the Step 4 that Martina was refering to has you do.
Both external and internal address are now the same and you think you can configure your outlook manually - think again. One of the most lovely features of Outlook Anywhere, and the reason why I had never used it in the past is that it requires a TRUSTED
certificate.
See so it's not that exchange 2013 requires a trusted certificate - it's that exchange 2013 lacks the feature that was there since Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5.
So it's time for you to install an Active Direction Certificate Authority. Refer to this wonderful article for exact steps - http://careexchange.in/how-to-install-certificate-authority-on-windows-server-2012/
Now even after you do that - it won't work because you have to add the base private key certificate, which you can download now from your internal certsrv site, to Default Domain Policy (AND yes some people claim NEVER mess with the Default Domain Policy,
always make an addition one... it's up to you - I don't see direct harm if you know what you want to accomplish) see this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738131%28v=ws.10%29.aspx if you want to know exact steps.
This is the moment of ZEN! :) Do you feel the excitement? After all it is your first time. Before we get too excited lets first request and then install the certificate to actual Exchange via the gui and assign it to all the services you can (IIS, SMTP and
there is a 3rd - I forgot, but you get the idea).
Now go to your client machine where you have the outlook open, browse to your exchange server via https://exchang2013/ in IE and if you don't get any certificate errors - it's good. If you do run on hte client and the server: gpupdate /force This will refresh
the policy. Don't try to manually install the certificate from Exchange's website on the client. If you wanna do something manually to it to the base certificate from the private key but if you added it to the domain policy you shouldn't have to do it.
Basically the idea is to make sure you have CA and that CA allows you to browse to exchange and you get no cert error and you can look at the cert and see that's from a domain CA.
NOW, you can configure your outlook. EASY grasshoppa - not the manual way. WHY? Cause the automatic way will now work. :) Let it discover that exachange and populate it all - and tell you I'm happy! :)
Open Outlook - BOOM! It works... Was it as good for you as it was for me?
You may ask, why can't I just configure it by manual - you CAN. It's just a nightmare. Go ahead and open the settings of the account that got auto configed... How do you like that server name? It should read something like [email protected]
and if you go to advanced and then connection tab - you'll see Outlook Anywhere is checked as well. Look at the settings - there is the name of the server, FQDN I might add. It's there in 2 places and one has that Mtdd-something:Exchange2013.yourdomain.local.
So what is that GUID in the server name and where does it come from. It's the identity of the user's mailbox so for every user that setting will be different but you can figure it out via the console on the Exchange server itself - if you wish.
Also a note, if your SSL certs have any trouble - it will just act like outlook can't connect to the exchange server even though it just declines the connection cause the cert/cert authority is not trusted.
So in short Outlook Anywhere is EVERYWHERE! And it has barely any gui or config and you just supposed to magically know that kind of generic error messages mean what... Server names are now GUIDs of the [email protected] - THAT MAKES PERFECT
SENSE MICROSOFT! ...and you have to manage certs... and the only place where you gonna find the name of the server is inside the d*** Outlook Anywhere settings in the config tab, un it's own config button - CAN WE PUT THE CONFIG ANY FURTHER!
Frustrating beyond reason - that should be Exchange's new slogan...
Hope this will help people in the future and won't get delete because it's bad PR for Microsoft.
PS
ALSO if you want to pick a fight with me about how SSL is more secure... I don't wanna hear it - go somewhere else... -

Is it possible to make a backup of your mac email boxes? if so how?
Hi, I have had a apple email account for a few years.. and I think I have a couple of thousand of email messages on the server... I was wondering...Is there a way to make some sort of backup of the messages and save to the computer? And is it easy to
