Syncing pictures without duping the file

I already had a photo library file on my Iphone with a few pics. I added new pics by syncing from my pc and it duplicated the file on my Iphone and added a second file using the name I had the pictures saved in from the PC. Now I have two files with the same pictures. Any suggestions?

One thing that might help out.
If you synced photos to the pc that you had taken with the iphone, these photos remain on the iphone unless you have the wizard remove them or you remove them manually.
Then if you sync them back to the iphone, the photos now show up in Photo Library and Camera roll.
When the iphone is connected to the computer and has photos taken with the iphone, you can open the iphone in my computer to see the photos or delete them. You cannot add photos back this way.
Another thing that might help out.
When you sync photos to the iphone from the computer, the photos might show up in what seems 2 sections.
The first section is called the Photo Library.
This section is the main holding place for all photos.
Then if you are syncing a particular folder or album the iphone will create another listing with he name of that folder or album.
To save space, the iphone does not duplicate the pictures in 2 different sections of the iphone.
Instead the iphone create a link to what is already in the Photo Library.
This feature is to help organize the photos on your iphone.
So, if you are syncing multiple folders or albums, you can see the contents of that folder or album on the iphone without having to view every thing.
Hope this helps.

How do I delete my iCloud email without deleting the files from the server?

I want to delete my iCloud email from a laptop I don't use much anymore. I am afraid if I do all the files will delete from the server as well. Is this true? If not, what are the best ways to go about deleting the account without harming the files on the server (in turn deleting all my email from synced iCloud devices)?

In Mail, delete the account, the server side will not be changed.

Retouch photo without reducing the file size/quality?

I have been retouching some pictures for use in a photo book but notice that each time I do so, the file size decreases fairly significantly e.g from 4MP to 2MP.
Is there a way I do minor retouching to a photo without reducing the file size/quality?
Thanks in advance

Where are you seeing this size reduction? What format are the original photos?
For example when you edit a RAW photos you create a JPEG modified version which is much smaller - one I just did went from 17 MB as RAW to 4.4 as a JPEG -- you could save as a TIFF but to me that is not worth the space loss - I seriously doubt that you will ever do anything that you can see the difference in quality between a TIFF and JPEG of yoru images

Hi. I need some help on the following problem. I opened iPhoto and, suddenly, it tells me " WHAT IPHOTO LIBRARY DO I WANT TO USE?" but i had a iPhoto library. When i search on my Pictures, i have the file IPHOTO LIBRARY but is was not the icon on it i previously remembered and it appears on a dim letters and it can not be opened ... How can i recover it??

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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
Any advice gratefully received!

For some time now, when I connect my iPod to my PC, I'm told my iPod cannot be synced to iTunes because (the file cannot be found). What gives?

For some time now, when I connect my iPod to my PC, I'm told my iPod cannot be synced to iTunes because (the file cannot be found). What gives?

Sounds like the file yo are trying to sync to the iPod is corrupted.
Try syncing only one item that plays in iTunes on the computer.
Also see the following since when you downgrade iTunes you have to reset your iTunes library since the older version can't read the updated version of the library.

Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?

Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?

because you are exporting the original?
SInce you give us no information at all we can only guess and that is the most likely
How are you editing the photo - iPhoto? An external editor? How?
how are you exporting?
Remember we are users just like you - not psychics

How do i download and e-mail from a zip drive without opening the file

How do I download and e-mail data from a zip drive without opening the file?

Hi.
If you have a Zip drive, you can handle the file as you would any other file. Copy and paste. Drag and drop. Select and attach as an email attachment.
Zip drive data discs came in two capacities, 100MB and 250MB. So the largest files would not exceed those capacities, depending on the media from which they are pulled.
The trick, I should think, would be finding a working drive that can read the media... and hope that media is not corrupted. Zip media was notorious for failing.
I hope this helps.

How to write IPTC metadata to files without opening the file?

HI,
I'm trying to run a script (preferably in JS) that allows me to write metadata to a file. I can acheive this very easily by opening the file, but I'd need to batch process many large images, so opening them would cause severe slowness. The purpose of adding the metadata to the files is to search upon them in Bridge.
We're using CS5, but have CS6 if it's better to use.
My Script
// set current doc ref
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
// Set caption in active document
docRef.info.caption = "Some Meta-Data";
Do I need to use bridge to write the metadata without opening the file? Or can running the script in PS allow me to do so?
Thanks,
Tom

Its easy if you use XMP metadata.
app.activeDocument.info.caption (in photoshop script metadata)
and it is the same field as:
     Dublin Core namespace
     namespace:     http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
     Property:          description
you change description on XMP = you are changing the same image.info.caption

There are several .aspx page layout files and one master page file listed in the offending files. As far as I know we are still using these files and I am able to locate the files in the _catalogs\masterpage folder. So what is the problem? And

if it's fat32 then the mac can read it without problems
if it's ntfs then you can install programs which make it possible to write to it too otherwise it's read only
