What are all of the folders containing no photos?

There are a large number of folders in my library that don't show any pictures.  They seem to have the year, month, and data coded and then another number.  It would be 20130828-101915.  They seem to contain no photos.  What are they?

hard to say
they may be left over from old versions
The best plan is to not ever go inside the iPhoto library - there is no need to and there are no user servicable parts in it

  • What are all of the different metadata areas for?

    In CS5, I notice there are lots of areas to enter info for an image, under IPTC Core, Audio, Video, DICOM and a Mobile SWF section.
    1. Is all of this info, if entered, embedded into the file?
    2. Where can someone view all of this info if they do not have Bridge on their computer?
    3. What is the point of using all of it? Is it a convention or standard practice for photographers to enter all of this info for every photo?
    Thanks!

    1. It is indeed in the file, written to metadata.

    2. In any program that can read metadata, and there are gazillions of those.  In Photoshop, for instance, you can go to the File menu > File Info.

    It's there for your convenience.  Use it as you need or as you wish.  It's all up to you.
    Most photographers make sure that at least the © copyright info is included.  Additionally many users put in information specific to the shoot, location, the author, any contact information, etc.  Use as much or as little as you want or need or as your clients ask you to include.  No more, no less.
    Many users strip all metadata.
    It's there for your convenience only.

  • What are all of the New Tabs across the top when Downloading Firefox it has been going on for almost 45 minutes, MAC OS10.8.2

    I am down loading the new Firefox. As soon as I stated the down load I start seeing these New Tab boxes start flowing across the top of my screen. They just keep coming and coming and I don't know what is going on. It looks like my computer is being hacked. I tried to stop it and I can't. I tried to close the window and couldn't, I forced quit my computer and as soon as it comes back on it goes right back to all of those New Tab going across the top of my screen. I was finally able to get another window to come up so I could send this message.
    I may not be able to get back to this page or open my e-mail so if need be you can call me at two 51-621-96 nine eight

    the Firefox help page http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/home?as=u#os=win&browser=fx4 cannot find the search keyword "about". That seems simple enough. I was trying to find out about all the different "about:" options. It could not find about: or about.

  • Iphotos Package Contents: What are all these folders for? Is it too large to back up in the cloud?

    Dear experts,  I am quite a newbie when it comes to understanding the Mac filing system, as I originally came from the PC world.  There's lots of things I dont understand in the iMac file viewer and how to organise and backup my photos is an important issue for me.
    I know that if I want to look at the original photo files on my iMac, I can right-click on users/myname/pictures and select "Show Package Contents".
    Question 1 - What are all these folders for?
    Please can someone explain what is the difference between all the folders I see?  Some of them seem to be exact duplicates of the others e.g. Masters, Modified and Originals all seem to have the same content.  So here is a list of folders that I see.  What is in them?, or what is their purpose?
    Data
    Data.noindex
    Modified
    Originals
    Apple TV Photo Cache
    Attachments
    Auto Import
    Backup
    Caches
    Contents
    Database
    iLifeShared
    iPod Photo Cache
    Masters
    Previews
    ProjectCache
    Thumbnails
    Question 2 - Which photo folder should I back-up?
    If I want to keep a physical backup of my photos, which of the above folders should I copy to an external hard drive?  (I use Get Backup to automatically  copy all important new or changed files to an external drive)
    Question 3 - Using the cloud: What is the best way to backup my large photo library in the cloud safely? 
    I would like to have some kind of safe backup in the cloud for my photos.  However the size of the iphoto library is huge at 165GB.  Even the Masters folder is huge.  It is 130GB.  Is it possible to back up files of this size in the cloud?  I have a couple of services called photo streaming and Dropbox, but they don't seem to be able to handle this kind of size.  Photo streaming only works with 1000 photos (as far as I can tell), and my Dropbox probably has a limit too.  I guess it's about 5GB.  I am already using about 3GB of my Dropbox space for other files.  I would consider both paid and free solutions.
    Many thanks to all the experts for your help!

    know that if I want to look at the original photo files on my iMac, I can right-click on users/myname/pictures and select "Show Package Contents".
    Don't do that. That's like opening the hood of your car and trying to figure out what all the different bits and peices are and which you can yank out and dispose of. Simply, there are no user-serviceable parts in here.
    So, your Question 2:
    You back up the iPhoto Library as a single unit.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    Your question 3:
    There is no good back up to the Cloud. There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that the datasets are so large and the cloud services shapre their download speeds. This means restoring can take days to complete. Then, and this is the big problem, the iPhoto Library needs to sit on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Bluntly, no servers online are formatted appropriately, and if the Library is written to - by an incremental back up, for instance - there is a very high likelihood that the library will be corrupted.
    Your Question 1:
    The Library you're describing there sounds like one that has been updated a few times. Not everything you list there is a folder. Some will be aliases.
    The Data folders hold thumbnails.
    The Masters and Originals folders hold the files as imported from the camera
    The Previews hold the versions of the edited photos that are accessed via the Sharing mechanism.
    I think if you look losely that you'll notice that one of the Data folders and one of either the Masters or the Originals folders is actually an alias.
    Everything else is a database or cache file of some form. All are required for iPhoto to work.
    As an FYI:

  • Import media dialog is not showing me folders, instead showing me every singe file that's inside all of the folders on my desktop? What gives?

    So i'm trying to import media that's on my desktop, one clip that's inside a folder. when I choose import media and the dialog box opens, I choose desktop to navigate to the folder but there are no folders found. FCP starts loading all of the files individually that are inside all of the folders on my desktop. I can't for the life of me figure out why it's doing this. Has anyone else had a similar issue?

    DSounds like you have a folder on the desktop with the name of a camera folder something like DCIM or PRIVATE that makes the application read the containing folder the Desktop as if it were a camera drive.

  • CUBE - If it is not mandatory, what are all the things to compromise?

    If having CUBE in Unified Communications infrastructure is not mandatory, what are all the things that needs to be compromised? I understrand CUBE provides security, interoperability and all.
    If we don't have CUBE update installed in VoIP gateway, the coexistence of SIP and TDM trunking will not work? Please help me understanding this. 

    Thanks Aaron. 
    So, you saying the calls from VoIP Phone -> CUCM->VoIP Gateway->SP via PSTN->Destination VoIP Gateway->Destination UCM->Phone doesn't require CUBE. In this case, the destination need not to be a SIP enabled device (need not to be a VoIP phone?)?
    And for the calls from VoIP Phone->CUCM->VoIP Gateway->SP via SIP->Destination VoIP gateway->CUCM->VoIP Phone (Here destination phone is a SIP enabled device?). Let me know your comments please.

  • How do we know what are all the fields  updated in a screen?

    Hi all,
             If i am making modifications in row details of sales order screen .for eg, <b>i am changing the quantity or price for a row</b> 
             I want to write log file for the updated fields for that particular sales order.
             <b> How do we know what are all the fields are updated ?</b>     
             If we can use SBOTransaction_Notification procedure.How to write code inside that.
             Please provide code example for that.I have downloaded the sample.But i donot know how to use 'Add code to here ' part.
             Please help me to solve this.Hope  your  reply soon
    Regards,
    V.Rangarajan

    Hi, V.Rangarajan!
    When the field in the matrix is filled with some value and the user moves to another field, the et_LOST_FOCUS event occurs. So, i think you can try to handle ItemEvents and use such code (for example):
    if (pVal.EventType == SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_LOST_FOCUS && pVal.ItemUID == "38" && pVal.BeforeAction == false && pVal.FormType == 139)
    string ChangedColumnID = pVal.ColUID;
    int ChangedRowNumber = pVal.Row;
    and write the values to your log.
    "38" - is the matrix ID in the Orders form
    "139" - is the Orders form
    Also you can access to the value, that user had put into the field.
    Hope this helps!

    Thanks for the question Sandoss. This is something that we all come across at sometime.
    Thanks & regards, Sumit Agrawal
    The lack of this feature is an inexcusable oversight for an enterprise management product.  They have some serious lightweights making design decisions on the SCOM team. 5 thumbs down. 
    BTW the answer is probably LOTS of stuff. Literally 100's of workflows are running on any server.

    DECLARE @srv varchar(30)
    SET @srv = 'your name here'
    SELECT mon.displayName as monitor, bme.FullName,bme.DisplayName as object,
    case
        when s.HealthState = 1 then 'healthy'
        when s.HealthState = 2 then 'Warning'
        when s.HealthState = 3 then 'Critical'
        else 'N/A'
    end as Health

  • How to identify what are all the events are created in background jobs?

    Hi all,
    how to identify what are all the events are created for  background jobs. And what events gets triggered for a particular job.
    thanxs
    haritha

    Hi Haritha,
    JOB is a program which starts to a determined point of time and executes some standard programs in the system. JOBs can be planed to a determined point of time on the regular basis (every night, for example) or to some discret time moments. So, the JOB can be planed and then will be started automatically without the manual start.
    Realtime programs are understood in the most cases as actual program execution which is started by somebody to the actual moment of time.
    Typically per JOBs some special processes will be started that should be executed automatically and regularly: for example, IDOC application, some correction reports, statistic updates etc.
    Standard jobs are those background jobs that should be run regularly in a production SAP System These jobs are usually jobs that clean up parts of the system, such as by deleting old spool requests.
    Use
    As of Release 4.6C, the Job Definition transaction ( sm36 ) provides a list of important standard jobs, which you can schedule, monitor, and edit.
    Standard jobs are those background jobs that should be run regularly in a production SAP System. These jobs are usually jobs that clean up parts of the system, such as by deleting old spool requests.
    for more information you can go thru the following thread:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/24/b884388b81ea55e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
    About Events:
    Events have meaning only in the background processing system. You can use events only to start background jobs.
    Triggering an event notifies the background processing system that a named condition has been reached. The background processing system reacts by starting any jobs that were waiting for the event.
    Types of Events:
    There are two types of events:
    1.)System events are defined by SAP. These events are triggered automatically when such system changes as the activation of a new operation mode take place.
    2.)User events are events that you define yourself. You must trigger these events yourself from ABAP or from external programs. You could, for example, signal the arrival of external data to be read into the SAP system by using an external program to trigger a background processing event.The event scheduler processes an event if the event is defined in the system.
    For example, if a system (System 1) receives an event from another system (System 2), the event scheduler of System 1 processes the event only if it is defined in System 1. That event does not need to be defined in System 2 (the sending system).
    You define an event by assigning a name (EVENTID) to it. When defining an event, you do not define the event arguments.
    for more information you can go thru the following thread:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fa/096e2a543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm
    When you schedule the process chain or infopackages the jobs associated with it run in the background mode. In case you want to create a job for a specific activity you can do so in SM36. You would be creating jobs that would get executed in any one of the options:
    1. Immediate
    2. Date & Time
    3. After event.
    4. After job.
    5. At Operation mode.
    In case you want to view the job logs go to sm37.
    Also Pls check DB02 for database performance and ST03 for workload .
    Analyse u will have an idea ,
    *pls assign points,if info is useful**
