Trying to reduce and organize photos on my Hard Disk
For the most part I have been keeping my photos on my working hard disk with only certain collections off line, but the hard disk is filling up more than I want. I have duplicates and unneeded photos.
1. Must I delete them only from the "PHOTOS" at the top of the list on the library name? (I know I can delete from an album and the photo stays in the library but I want some totally removed.)
2. I tried to Export "Originals" to another place on the disk, but does that remove them from the Aperture Library?
3. I need to change dates on many photos (because the camera they were taken with had PDT on it rather than the GMT+2 time they should have had). I changed the EXIF date on one photo and in the INFO window it says that the date was changed, but when I sort by date in the Light Table it still uses the original date.
Sigh, and thanks for any help.
To delete photos from your Aperture library, delete them from the projects view, then empty the Aperture trash.
To correct a wrong time zone setting in the camera select the images and use "Batch change" with the settings
"Camera time" is PDT and "Actual Time" is GMT+02.
2. I tried to Export "Originals" to another place on the disk, but does that remove them from the Aperture Library?
No, it only writes copies of the original files to a folder.

Trying to click and drop photos from iPhoto into an Empty SD card. all I am getting isThe item “IMG_0346.JPG” can’t be copied because there isn’t enough free space. Card is 156 MB Photo is 1.56MB. Help please.
Select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (file menu ==> export) - see this user tip for export options - then be sure the card is not locked and in the finder verify available space and if it is adaquate drag that folder to it

I have a 5 month old iMac running Lion and W7 with the latest version of boot camp . It has been operating flawlessly until I went to reboot into Mac tonight. Screen went black, and system is unresponsive. I've tried force quitting and turning power off. Hard drive starts, there's a small amount of drive activity and that's it.
Hi Jane, your info may still be there, look in the Users folder at root of the drive, how many users are there there?
It sounds like this may have happened...

Sync itunes photos on removable hard disk(ipod 80gb)
Hello,
I set that itunes is sync the photos from one hard disk (connected to my laptop by usb).The problem is that I don't connect this hard disk every time that I run itunes,so the settings in DEVICES /MY IPOD/PHOTOS is disapearing.And if I choose again the folder(on this hard disk) then is again deleting all the photos from Ipod and again copying them back(they are about 11000 so it's taking too much time).Do you have any advice?Having been given an iPod video 60Gig as a present, I am sometimes forced to use it.
Recently I tried - I downloaded and installed latest itunes 7.5 on the PC running Windows XP.
Built up the library of music - tried to do a sync. So slow I nearly hit the PC. The transfer rate would merely get 40 Meg on in 5 minutes (thats my estimate all I know is it never finished). I tried to leave it running for 3 hours and still not finished - the size of music to transfer was about 2400 songs.
I then tried to use Vista Home Basic - with itunes 7.5 - it wouldnt even recognize the ipod.
After a few days of giving up and banging my head against the wall I tried Linux too - but that was slow too.
I eventually went back to Vista and de-installed itunes 7.5 - found version 6.05 and installed it. It went through like clockwork (well as clockwork as can be it was magically fast but fast enough to fill half of the 60Gig).
I then had the magic idea - why not update to 7.5 from 6.05 and guess what - its slow again painfully slow.
Version 7.5 *****! -
I need to move my photo library and Movies (Events and Projects) to an external hard disk as my 700gb drive on my iMac is now full (*see note below)
I have brought 2 Samsung External drives (3TB each) which I plan to partition each for Photos and Movies i.e 2 partitions on each drive, and will use one for use with iPhoto and iMovie, and the other drive for a dedicated backup. I will backup the remainder of my iMac hardisk to a seperate disk.
What has just occured to me is that after I have moved the libraries I cannot see how existing iMovie projects and iPhoto Slideshows will work, as each Application will be looking for the source files on the original iMac hardisc (I assume).
I am running Snow Leopard v10.6.8 ( I did not want to upgrade to Mountain Lion as I was told the iPhoto and iMovie changes were a 'backward' step. However I now want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, for security updates reasons mainly, and so need to free up my hard drive.
Can anyone advise on the best way to proceed ?
* - the iMac hard disk become full very suddenly, possibly due to duplicates, as I have noticed duplicate events and clips in my iMovies event library. I have noticed that some events are also now not showing, with message 'No video clips match the current selection' (I have not search criteria set).
ThanksI was planning on manually backing up my external to the time capsule - but is there a way to set it up to back up automatically instead?
Time Machine will backup up automatically - you can not have your iPhoto library on the same volume as the TM backup (it will not work and it would not be a backup)
Dragging the iPhoto library to any external drive will backup it us also
I was also thinking about having the library copied to another external (I mean we're talking about irreplaceable photos here) - would i just drag a copy of the library to that drive as well?
Yes - that is a good idea - I run TM giving me hourly backups and a daily clone of my entire system giving me a bootable backup - plus do an occasional TM backup at our second home so I have one off site
is it possible to deal with my imovie library in the same way? so all my movies and photos are on my external?
Probably - but I use iMovie very little - better question for the iMovie forum

MMO best practice. Download music and heavy files to users hard disk?
MMO best practice. Download music and heavy files to users hard disk?
I have just downloaded a Hello Kitty MMO app for research (for my kid of course).
I am developping my English teaching app with LOADS of classical music, mp3 sentences and heavy background bgs. Would the best idea be for client to download these to their hardisk ie I would not need to stream them and therefore save a fortune on bandwidth charges from my ISP???
CheersI see what you mean ie: they have to get the file to their computer one way or another BUT
a. If they are going to repeatedly use that file ie: a custom cursor or classical piece of music every week when they log on then it would be better for them to have it on their hardisk wouldn't it? If not, they would have to download it every time they log on. I take it that's why the hello kitty site makes you download 130 megas so you have everything on your hardisk, ie: you will be reusing all those assets MANY times in the future. The experience wil be very FAST as you have it on your local disk and needn't have to wait for streaming. -

Gray screen on start up and not able to repair hard disk and not able to take back up.
My macbook pro bought in early 2011 with snowleopard software and than upgraded to lion is now running on system 10.7.5 .
My problem is i get a gray screen on startup with apple logo and spinning ball.
I tried all the solutions mentioned in the apple support for "gray screen appears during start up". This Disk utility says that the Hard disk cant be repaired.
Before i format my disk and erase all data and install Mac os x again, i want to take back up on a external hard disk. I bought a new 2tb external hard disk so that i can take a back up.
As i try to take the backup of the image, it gives me an error "cannot allocate memory"
i tried to change the configuration from compressed to read/write and tried different encrption methods but unable to take backup.
i sometimes get error "input/output".
how do i take a backup. somebody please helpSee OS X- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup. If you need to reinstall OS X, then do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
How do I install dual-boot Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 on one hard disk ?
I tried to install Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 on same disk using CDs, but
the second installation overwrote the first Solaris which was installed
previoudly on the half-disk size partition of same disk.
How do I install two Solarises on one hard disk ?
Thanks
YakovThere are no tricks to get Solaris to dual boot on the same drive. Just allocate and pick the free slices not used by the first Solaris install when you put in the second install. Technically speaking there is nothing preventing you from running seven separately bootable Solaris instances on the same drive (one of 8 available slices is overlap -- slice 2) provided you use a swap file on a root partition instead of reserving a whole slice for swap.

Moving photos from one hard disk to another but not loosing the editing history on the photo
Hello,
I have one hard disk filling up with photos, so I have purchased a secondary hard disk to expand my storage. I would like to move my shoots from 2010 to that new hard disk, but I don't want to loose all of the edits saved on them in LR3. I have experimented with moving non-important images that have edits on them, then re-importing them. Unfortunately, LR3 does not preserve that history. Is this possible?
Thanks!
Adam PendletonAdam, reimporting is not the way to achieve what you want.
There are several ways to achieve your goal though:
1. Move the files with your OS from one drive to the other - best to move one folder if they are all in one (2010) and then relink in LR by right clicking the folder in the Library Folder panel and choosing "Update Folder Location".
2. Use Lightroom to move the folders in the Library by dragging and dropping them - this can be done one folder at a time only. -
Photos from external hard disk to another
Is there a way to move photos straight from one external hard disk to another external hard disk?
Because MacBook Pro´s hard disk is too small (120 Gb) for my photos, I must use those external disks. The idea is that the original photos are in an external disk and in addition there are a couple of other disks as the vaults.It's easy to see why all of this is confusing because of the poor human interface design of the "library location" feature of Aperture.
First, when you change your library location, you actually have to quit and restart the app. What a concept--I wonder why the orginal Mac team didn't think of this approach when you wanted to change the document you were working on in MacWrite? Instead of "Open" from the File menu, you could do it in "Preferences" and with a relaunch...
Secondly, if you point to a library on an external drive, and forget to mount that drive before launching, rather than telling you it can't find the library and asking what to do, it arbitrarily (and silently) decides to create a brand new library in your "Pictures" folder. Yuck. -
Hello I have a iMac with 3.4 GHZ intel core I7, memory 16 GB 1333 MHZ DDR3, and OS X 10.9.4 Software.
I have problems when I try to copy or modify any file from my MAC to MY PORTABLE DRIVE/DISQUE (external hard disk).
my external hard disk have the next features:
brand: Seagate
4TB
I do not know if I need some software such as: paragon or I need to configure my MAC,
Please help me..
Thanks a lotClick on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

Hello,
to reinstall CC shouldn't be a problem. You could download all the programs you need in the "try" Version from Adobe's download website. Because you have all needed serial numbers and so on, you can change your programs into "real" versions.
Maybe it'*s necessary, that you have to activate/deactivate pleae have a look there:

Log an analog channel and counter period channel to hard disk simultaneously
We are in a rush, and need to log one analog channel and one counter period measurement to disk simultaneoulsy using card controlled timing and set # of samples. Should be easy, but can't figure it out. Labview 6.1 we have & DAQ 6013E we just bought.
Greetings,
With regards to logging analog input data to file, I would suggest that you examine the examples available in the following location:
Examples >> Hardware Input and Output >> DAQ >> Analog Input >> Stream to Disk
Because you are interested in a finite number of samples, you should look at Acq N Scans to File (wdt).vi.
With regards to logging period measurement data to file, I would suggest that you examine the following example:
Examples >> Hardware Input and Output >> DAQ >> Counters >> DAQ-STC >> Measure Buffered Period (DAQ-STC).vi
This example does not log to file, but it does demonstrate how to program a buffered period measurement. You will need to add the logging functionality to this VI as demonstrated in Analog Input >> Stre
am to Disk.
Good luck with your application.
