Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

This Applescript will correct links & programs for posting

Since I have been posting to these forms, I have been annoyed by the conversions that are done to my posts. A word surrounded by asterisks gets bolded. When I decide to make a link to a post, I can never remember the exact format. When I posted AppleScript code, I found that it is squish to the left. The AppleScript I have posted here gets around these problems.
Robert
The first thing that you need to do is to make the text into an AppleScript program.
start the AppleScript Editor
/Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app
copy the text to the Applescript editor.
save the text to a file as an application and do not check any of the boxes below.
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3544/3390737677_645a847e28.jpg?v=0!
now, let's build a link to a post.
get the link to a reply.
Goto this Webpage:
http://discussions.apple.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=9003196
Copy the Web page address from the top of your Web browser page. This is the standard highlight the address then do a command+c
Now you should run my AppleScript program by going back to the Script Editor. Optional, click the words event log to see the debug information. Click on the run icon.
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3391549168_9ce8b6fcd9.jpg?v=0!
The link has been modified. Paste the link onto your Web page. This is the standard command+v.
For a more typical usage, placed the program on the dock or make an alias on the desktop.

Name: alter-clipboard
Input: Clipboard
Output: Clipboard
This AppleScript program is designed to convert a forum-reply web address to a link to a forum post, to convert special characters to their HTML symbols, and to convert programming language code to a form that does not get mangled.
1) When you wish to reference another Apple discussion forum post, I found the process convoluted. The Apple form software does not provide for the display of a form post link. Instead, you must construct the link from a reply post. This AppleScript simplifies the process.
  When the clipboard contains a link to a forum reply page, do the conversion.
  Here is that way:
  a) Find the particular post you wish to reference.
  b) Click on the reply icon.
  c) Copy the Web address to the clipboard (command+c).
  d) Run this AppleScript to convert the Web address.
  e) Paste (command+v) the converted Web address into your post.
   For example, you:
   • Want to reference a post on how to improve the performance of Tiger. You find a post by Texas Mac Man with a list of possibilities.
   • Click on the Reply option and highlight the Web address because you know the address contains a reference to this post.
   • Type command+c to copy the address to the clipboard. The clipboard now contains:
     http://discussions.apple.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=9124252
   • Run this AppleScript to convert the Web address. The clipboard now contains:
     http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9124252#9124252
   • Type command+v to paste the address   into your new post.
2) Assume that the clipboard contains special symbols or formated programming language code to convert.
  The simpleFormatting property switch in the code selects teletype text ( tt ) when true and selets preformated text ( pre ) when false.
  This AppleScript will converted special symbols used in these forums to a form not used by the forum software in order to preserve the original characters.
  For the symbols, see:
  See "Other formating tags are available as shown below" in
  http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa#format
  An alternative to using these symbols is document in this post:
  http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607563
  Also, this AppleScript preserves indentation used in programs or Terminal output.
  a) Copy the text to the clipboard .
  b) Run this AppleScript to convert the text
  c) Paste the converted text into your post.
  For example, the asterisks will be preserved:
     mac $ ls *oup*
     Youpi Key Editor.plist Youpi Key.app alias
  For example, the indentation will be preserved:
     on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving dropped_items
        repeat with dropped_item_ref in dropped_items
           display dialog "dropped files is " & dropped_item_ref
        end repeat
     end adding folder items to

What's Going On With This Forum? Posted comments wait for a moderator

They wait, and wait, and wait, and wait.
Whose policy is this to screen everything before allowing posts to show up? Is that a Toshiba policy? What is Toshiba afraid of? If this is a Toshiba policy, I object. I object very strongly. Strongly enough that I'm just about tempted to pack up the mini notebook and ship it back to B&H and buy a different brand where the manufactor doesn't censor the support forum.
Let's see if this shows up.

Hello Edmund
To be honest I don't understand your question. As I can see you have posted 40 times until now.
Be honest and tell us how often you saw message like this:
*Please note, your reply will need to be approved by a moderator before it is posted in the forum.*
Probably first time now. I have noticed that sometimes forum is closed for postings but there must be some reason why moderator do this. At the moment you can write what you want.
There is no reason for panic or comments about Toshiba policy.
Every serious forum has own policy and this forum is more than serious. Isnt it?
So it is nothing unusual and it can be done due to some technical or any other reason.
Look a little bit what people write here and you will find very critical postings but nothing is blocked or edited by Toshiba so I think this forum is free and democratic. Your posting is also published.
In my opinion it is the best evidence that your critic and opinion about this forum and Toshiba forum policy is completely unjustified. Do you agree with me?
Good luck!

This forum is running very slowly for me....

Hi,
I'm on a new 24" iMac and for the most part things have been running well. But starting yesterday, this forum started running very slow. Especially today, just clicking the link to this forum from my bookmark takes at least 2 minutes to go through.
When I click a link to go to this forum, the blue progress bar progresses one (1) inch and then stops for a long while. Finally if I wait, the link usually goes through.
I've browsed to other links around to make sure and it seems to be mostly this site. Sometimes other forums (The Parallels Forum) may run very slow as well.
Is this just the way it is with forums on the web or is this a real defect I'm experiencing ?
I know this question seems stupid, but I'm very curious as to what could be happening.
Many Thanks for any help on this, Frank B.

I concur with Kappy and Bee. I'm in San Jose and I've observed a distinct slowdown in the past few months. Nearly unbearable, such that I don't read them much these days.
The only thing worse than reading the forums on a Mac, is reading them over the Edge in Safari on the iPhone. Most of the time, the app times out before a forum page comes up .
Maybe they are doing some sort of upgrade in transition, just like the Apple Store in Valley Fair Mall (Santa Clara, CA). You'd have to see to believe the congestion they are dealing with there in their temporary 'boutique-shoe-store-sized' store -- could be < 800 sq ft) !!

Updated: Rename this forum

Hello all,
Originally this forum was intended for ccBPM and Workflow. However I have noticed that 99% of posts are for workflow, and the occasional BPM post isn't answered. The confusion is because BPM is still in the title but I suspect hardly any BPM folks frequent this forum anymore. Or do they?
So I have submitted a proposal in the suggestions forum and invite you to add your comments. If enough people agree then we can get the name changed to SAP Business Workflow. On the other hand if people prefer to see XI/PI/BPM questions in here then we can keep it as is. Or perhaps it should be Workflow and Guided Procedures or any other suggestions?
The proposal is [over here|Rename "BPM and Workflow" forum to "SAP Business Workflow";, please add any comments there.
Cheers,
Mike
Edited by: Mike Pokraka on Oct 1, 2008 4:13 PM

Update:
As most of you have probably already noticed, this forum has been renamed.
Actually, that's not all that happened: a second forum was created as well, so I thought I'd drop a short note here to point out the [announcement|A new forum, and the difference between BPM, BPM and BPM] which also contains a little background on this whole BPM business.
Happy Workflowing,
Mike

Will this SB1 reporting and printing forum will override the B1 forum ?

Hi All,
Will this SB1 reporting and printing forum will override the B1 forum ? If not, it means that the B1 will be purely the application or functional such as query FMS, store procedure or any work around.
Rgds,

Hello Jimmy,
There is today a demand for a forum relating to printing and reporting for SAP Business One. We have taken the strategy to go for functional forums like this. This forum will in no way replace the main Business One forum, it is intended to compliment it. As we move further into the forums and as we reach ceilings in forums we will break them down into further functional forums such as this. There is a lot of threads relating to printing and reporting and Crystal Reports so we created this thread. I know you are a large contributor and hope that you can share your knowledge to these new forums.

Use Secure HTTPS throughout this Forum and the Meteor Website

This is not a "Bright Idea", this is a security flaw with the setup of this forum. When registering to use this forum you are asked for these personal sensitive pieces of information: - Password- Email Address- Mobile Number- CUSTOMER SERVICE PIN!- Age Confirmation This forum does not use secure HTTPS TLS anywhere, so when you register with this form, and when you login you are sending this information is clear plain text over the Web. This is extremely insecure especially considering (A) It's a known fact most typical users will use the same account password on multiple sites, so one should assume a user registering for this forum will use the same password that they use for the main MyMeteor account. (B) The Customer Service PIN is one of the pieces of information used when interacting with Meteor either by phone, chat, email, forum or post as a way to verify a persons credentials and valid identity. So given (A) & (B) if a users password and/or PIN are intercepted on an insecure internet connection, the person gaining access to these credentials could use it to impersonate the customer when communicating with Meteor. The implications are obvious. When an attacker wants to gain access to customer details they will look for the weekest access link. This forum is one of the weekest access links and if comporimised or if user details are intercepted it gives the attacker all the information they need. This forum may be powered by the Lithium service, but it is Meteor's Technical team's responsibilty to setup and secure this forum adequetly. At the moment they have not done this. They are leaving customers at risk of identity theft and are failing in their obligations under Data Protection laws. This needs to be addressed immediatly. On a wider issue it is now considered good practice for public serving websites to use TLS throughout their website and not just for registration and login pages. Contrary to misconception using TLS throughout your site will not greatly reduce the speed or performance of the site if the sys admins have used correct modern server configurations, optimisations and TLS implementation. The major browsers are now blocking out non-secure elements on secure web pages and even Google is going to start using TLS as a signal for traffic ranking. So websites using TLS throughout their site will potentially get better search rankings on Google than those without. I would ask the Meteor Sys admins to at the very least seurce this forum with TLS and then role out TLS across their entire meteor.ie web properties and follow best practise.

I have found that there is an SSL certificate installed on the server to cover the forums.meteor.ie domain, however it is not being enforced. Whilst not a perfect solution, for those using the EFF HTTPS Everywhere browser extension, I have written a ruleset that will force the browser to load https://forums.meteor.ie. I have submitted this ruleset to the EFF but you can also add the ruleset yourself with this following these directions, using this code: <ruleset name="Meteor.ie Community Forum">
<target host="forums.meteor.ie"/>
<rule from="^http://(www\.)?forums\.meteor\.ie/" to="https://forums.meteor.ie/"/>
</ruleset> Still waiting on an official response from Meteor.

To Adobe : Please add point system to this forum like SAP forum

Adding point system to this forum will encourage and
recognize people who is doing good work in this forum.
Add positive and negative point system.
SDN SAP forum is using point system effectively.
It shows who got maximum point this week, who got maximum
point this month, till today who got maximum points.
Points are give by people who ask questions based on correct
answer. If answer is correct, 1 point is awarded.
wrong answer and arrogant answer -1 point.
We need to recognize people who help others. This will be a
good start to make this forum interesting and user friendly.

Dude wrote:
As far as I understand, the suggestion to get rid of the point system means that there is a problem with people giving bad answers and participating just for the sake of collecting points, and that the overall quality of the forum would improve if there was no scoring system.
I think this is wrong for the following simple reasons:
It takes too much effort to gather the necessary points to eventually create any level of visibility. People who are just after points will loose interest when they realize how difficult it is to get points. It simply does not pay off.
There is no such formula which shows that people who enjoy the scoring system provides bad answers and those who do not provide good answers. I find such ideas discriminating and lobbying.
People have individual motives why they actively participate in the forum. Removing the scoring system will most likely not only affect the desired group of people. It might suit those who think their contributions to the forums are underrated and undermined and hence removing the scoring system removes the evidence.
To my experience, the likeliness of bad answers and possible wrong judgements based on the perceived status of a person may depend on the forum topics and is no real problem. Last not least, there is usually an option to outline wrong answers or judgement, regardless of the scoring system.Your passion towards this community is admirable, and I certainly wouldn't want to alienate those who both enjoy the scoring system and helping others. If it's really that important to some of the experts around here, then perhaps you are right. But, since the issue does seem to be polarized among others that have been around as long as yourself, it seems that the answer is really not so clear-cut. We'll probably just have to agree to disagree on this one.
I marked your response as helpful. ;)

iPads natively print to printers that are air print enabled.
About AirPrint - Apple Support
has a list of printer models
I wouldn't count on using air print simply because it's limited to certain manufacturers and models
Printer companies can have apps of their own (must be a wifi printer though), or can have work arounds of their own.
There are also third party printing apps out there. I used print n share but there are others.
However all apps are skinnied down versions of computer programs so if there's any formatting you may have issues replicating it.
I think the safest bet is to carry a flash drive or e-mail that file to someone and have them print it for you.

Does anyone know if there is a plan to make this forum a better product?

there are quite a few problems with the structure of this forum.
maybe it is time for an update.
1. doesn't appear to be any attrempt tp consolidate responses of various identical topics
2. statistics are poor and incorrect (should always indicate lates response, should show latest response first - by default, should clearly indicate number of responses for each item, etc)
3. many more items - but insufficient time to nanalyze and document
this is not a criticism of the moderators who take the time to help others but it does newed to have a method of getting Apple's attention when there is no solution/approach to a serious product defficiency.
advisng users to use the Apple support link is like getting close to a black hole.

I am sure they are always looking for ways to improve. The current "Apple Support Communities" replaced the former "Apple Discussions" about a year ago, there were a number of changes that came with it, some good, some not so good, IMHO. About a week or two ago they made some other changes, the most visual was getting an email when a post is marked as solving the question or being helpful. Like any change, some people liked it, some didn't. But I am certain they are looking to make this forum a better product.

How to make this forum better?

Hi friends
I have the ability to create an announcement inside this forum. So I'm thinking about this possibility. I'm following this forum for about a time just to be sure it's free of spammers (and also for learning each time more about scripts and participating when having time).
I'd like your opinion....
What do you think about creating an announcement called "Read it before posting your questions here". The body of the announcement should tell the users links from where are the manuals of Illustrator Scripting and the JavaScripts Tools Guide. This could help people find useful informations of Illustrator scripting and know more about it. Do you think it would be useful?
Also, do you think some times...is there some users who ask questions, but, at true their objectives is to make the specialists here to create an entire code for them?? ...like..."Hey, I want to create a snow ball in Illustrator. How could I do via script?"
If you perceive there are such users, do you think would be good to include in the announcement a paragraph to warn about this?? So, this would alert this forum is a place essentially for "help"?
Can you share your inputs about this subject, on how I could create a good announcement to help new users to use it better?
Thank you very much
Best Regards
Gustavo.

When I open the Illustrator scripting main page (http://forums.adobe.com/community/illustrator/illustrator_scripting), logged or not, the new yellow widget appears above the list of discussions. See my print of screen.
Other unecessary widgets was taken off from the avaliable area of the page.

as Professional Burger Flipper Trainees.
Actually, considering the market, most will come back
