What do you do with a group of random pics + general questions

I am a potential new user of iPhoto 6 and Mac. I have been reading through the hundreds of threads for iPhoto. I have a collection of over 12000 images (some on a pc, some on cd, and others on floppy). I have yet to get the entire catalog organized to date even with several attempts. I hope the Mac would solve all my troubles so I am holding off any further cataloging.
On to my question - I usually take random photos of my kids or outdoors or otherwise, along with a full larger set of photos from a day outing. The first few wouldnt be album criteria in and of themselves, but the full set would (i.e. Day at the Museum). I wonder how this type of shooting is handled as far as organizing with the roll/album features in iPhoto6.
Also, isn't anyone really concerned about the lack of IPTC support in iPhoto? I currently use Elements 4.0 and the Organizer is fantastic (although hated by others). I personally find it very useful to have all my photos saved in folders by import date. I cant grasp the idea of how to get roll# from this to import into iPhoto.
I would hope to find a Mac program that supports the use of photo captions and keywords. It doesnt appear that iPhoto is it. Is it? Does it also support PSD files? I am trying to understand the process on how the file copies/moves/edits files upon import too. It is hard to imagine the process when I dont have it yet (but may within a couple months)!
I am sure I have many more questions to come, but I'll start with this if someone would be so kind to give me information. I have hunted for specifics and find only very simple how to steps.

photobug:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
personally find it very useful to have all my photos saved in folders by import date.
iPhoto will create a roll for each folder imported and name that roll the same as the folder. However, the date on the roll may not match the capture date of your photos but instead reflect the latest modification date in the bunch. You can change the roll date so that it lists correctly chronologically.
iPhoto also supports Photoshop files, psd. You can also edit your photo from within iPhoto with PS. Just go into iPhoto's preferences General pane and select Photoshop in the Edit photo in: menu. Now when you double click on a photo PS will open it and you can edit. There is one caveat, however. If you edit a jpg file and create a layered image file or one that required the psd extension you must save it to the desktop and then import as a new file. Once imported as a psd file, you can edit it again without issue, layers or not.
If you're interested in maintaining your source files outside of iPhoto you can use iPhoto's alias method (see the Advanced section of iPhoto's preferences) and just have iPhoto use alias files instead of copying the full file into it's library folder system. This way you can have your source files on an external drive and only the library folder on your boot drive. I have 27G of photos on my second drive and a 1.7G library on my boot drive. If you have a laptop and want to take it traveling you'll be able to view thumbnails, create and delete albums, add comments and, with some aggravation, add keywords. You cannot do anything that will require the full image file, edit, slideshows, books, etc. Once the external HD is remounted the library will be fully functional again. I've create a Tutorial to assist users in converting over to the alias system. Good luck.

Where are all my bookmarks - what have you done with Mozilla? you have screwed up my computer!

Everything I had on my tool bar, and all the sites listed in my Bookmarks are GONE!!!
What have you done with those sites? They were very important to me - I can not handle all these changes by Mozilla - None of these changes are of any use to me. I want to go back to my original screen and when I logged on today you would not let me access my internet and original screen without entering info that changed everything on my computer window!!! Help me find those BOOKMARKS
Mozilla Firefox is not user friendly - I don't want all these apps - EBay, Weather or YouTube! I had the necessary sites listed that are important and used everyday - not those listed. Who are you to determine what "apps" I should be using???
edit: email address edited out but it is likely too late for search bots grabbing it.

I'm desperate to get back my Bookmarks in the same unsorted way and easily accessible as I had previously - at the moment they are hidden away in some sort of zipped form I am unable to access: they were previously listed in the ideal way for me to access - as chronologically bookmarked and disparate. It really is infuriating to have this level of interference with my personal affairs on my computer without even seeking my consent. Ideally I want a return to the earlier version of Firefox which worked perfectly well for me - I'm plagued with excessive slowness and freezing since the latest -Firefox 5.0- update was installed. Is there any simple way to revert back to the earlier version of Firefox?

What do you do with three avatars?

I noticed, that I can add more than one avatar, but I am not sure how to put them to a good use - so how do you use your three avatars?
I like avatars - in a lengthy discussion the avatars help to find posts by a specific person at a glance, but that purpose surely would be defeated if everybody kept changing the avatars at will - so what to do with three of them?
Use different avatars like emoticons?
using a fierce looking avatar when answering a recalcitricant poster who is unwilling to answer any questions and refuses to read the manual
and switching to a friendly, cute, angelic avatar when taking to a shy newbie?
Use a new avatar to celebrate a new reputation level?
Use different avatars for posting in different communities - a musical avatar in the GarageBand forum, a technical one in the System oriented boards, cool pictures in the Aperture and iPhoto communities?
Change your avatar as "Season's Greetings"?
Ignore them, but enjoy the knowledge and the privilege that you just might use them some day?
So what do you do with them? Just curious.
Regards
Léonie

Won;t work the avatars aren;t sticky. The avatar shown is always the current one not the one set when you created the post.
Use a new avatar to celebrate a new reputation level?
Possible we'll see
Use different avatars for posting in different communities - a musical avatar in the GarageBand forum, a technical one in the System oriented boards, cool pictures in the Aperture and iPhoto communities?
Like above, won;t work.
Change your avatar as "Season's Greetings"?
Or for 'Hitch Hikers Guide Day'
Ignore them, but enjoy the knowledge and the privilege that you just might use them some day?
And miss have scintillating conversations like this!
I like avatars - in a lengthy discussion the avatars help to find posts by a specific person at a glance, but that purpose surely would be defeated if everybody kept changing the avatars at will
Perhaps this is actually the best reason to change them!

DEAR ORACLE: what have you done with webdb?

dear oracle,
i was using webdb since rel 2.0.* and i think, it was a great idea! we could visualize data
and give the users the chance to access the data in a very simple way - without programming
in java, c++ or anything else ( ok, pl/sql is needed sometimes. but as long as we are using
oracle databases, we will find someone with pl/sql-knowledge :-), so this is not an
additional requirement).
but what have you done with this wonderful idea?
you have moved webdb to an enterprise-portal, with great functionality and a huge requirement
of resources. no doubt, it is a powerful product, where you can build wonderfull sites
full of surprising elements, every second character bold and blinking . . .
but you forgot the customers, who only need a simple way, to create forms and reports.
by moving portal to such a level, as you have done, you left a gap below this.
please tell me, why should i install and use such a 'mighty' product as 9iAS, when i only
need the functionality, that came with webdb??
some impressions:
- starting with the installation ( download 2 GB! a just released product and i have to download
additional 274 MB of patches, wasting more time with the patch-installation than the rest).
- space-requirements of nearly 5 GB (approx. 12 times as much as webdb 2.2)
- i have to use internet directory, management server, enterprise manager - all products,
that i don't need for the rest of my daily business and that i'm not familiar with
(until now) -> requiring additional time to become familiar with. do you realy think, that the use of all
products in your portfolio makes it easier to handle (as stated in one of the white papers?)?
It seems, that you have lost the ground!
- saving my investments by a migration path? i can forget this - oracle support surrendered and tells
me, that there is something in the installation that prevents me from upgrading.
- the product portal seems to be very 'dynamic': if i don't want to lose support, i have to upgrade
to the next release nearly every three months (one of the most important phrases, heard by support-stuff:
"you have any problem? you should upgrade to the latest release first!")
so, dear oracle,
i hope, you remember those customers, who don't want an overkill. please, fill up the
gap with an applicationserver-light/portal-light and don't forget, that the main scope of your
customers is to fulfil their own customers needs and not to administer oracle-products.

What are you doing with software (games) designed to run on Snow Leopard. Have you heard of anyone making a patch for LION?

What are you doing with software (games) designed to run on Snow Leopard when the Os is Lion?

It is up to the publishers of games to accommodate their software to Lion.
Blizzard, publisher of StarCraft, WarCraft, and Diablo, has posted a statement about that -
Blizzard Support
Although they were able to create patches to allow the use of their (OS 9) games in OS X up through Snow Leopard, apparently from their perspective it is not possible to patch those games for Lion.

What would you do with a PowerBook 1400cs?

Hi!
What would you do with a PowerBook 1400cs? Sell it for almost nothing? Give it away to somebody?..
I just thought you may share some ideas about it!..
It was my first portable mac (before I had a LCII), but I have to move away from a place and I have a lot of stuff..
Thanks!!

Give it away to somebody?..
Yes, why not? As you know, this computer is perfectly good for word processing. With a modem, it can be used for email and light web surfing during travels. Someone might even want to try to use it wirelessly.

What would you do with this credit profile? I need your expertise.

Hello MyFico Community,
I am trying to build a decent credit profile. Is there anything I should be doing or not doing to improve my Credit Profile? Currently I have one foot in the Garden-LOL!For the last coupe monthsI have been receiving a lot of mailers, Citi, BoA, US Bank, AARP and a few others, so its sort of tempting.  My Fico Scores are:
760, 755 & 756. These scores are from my Discover, CapOne and Barclay statements. Goals scores are 800 across the board.   Reports:
All reports are clean, 100% on-time payments, nothing negative reporting. Inquiries:
I have 7, 6 and 8 inquiries showing on my reports.AAof Credit: Not sure about this Experian/Credit.com- 6.7 years. Credit Sesame says 1.8 months?   Accounts:The accounts with balances will be paid to $0 by June 26th.Account Name: Credit Limit: Balance:
Amex Everyday $10,000 $286
CapOne Venture $10,000 $1112CapOne QS $5000 $555CapOne Platinum $6800 $0   Aviator $4000 $0J.Crew $4000 $0SportsmanGuide $2500 $0
Discover $2000 $0
Target $200 $0
Wells Fargo $1700 $0  I've begun using QS and Amex (0%APR) as main go-to cards.
Was also thinking i’d put everything I can on cards and PIF each month to take advantage of the 0% and rewards.
Is this a good plan? I'm still learning how to best utilize my portfolio. Are there other cards I should look at acquiring?  I appreciate any input.

What I'd do doesn't really matter. These are not one-size-fits-all matters so each needs to determine his/her own strategy and tactics based on the individual's situation, goals, priorities, preferences, etc. IMO you don't know what to do because you're not clear on these matters. Very True, I am not clear but with the help of the community giving me things to consider I am getting there.
You need to define what you needs/want and then prioritize that list. That will give you a list of critiera that you then use to select cards that suit you. Thanks. Good way to focus my thinking about it.
Rewards is a common criteria and if rewards matter to you then you need to look at your spend and where your money is going to select rewards with the most benefit to you. Since i’m going to be using a main CC, I’d rather have cash rewards first or rewards that are versatile for gift cards. I already have a travel card that works well for me so thats not that important.

AAof Credit: Not sure about this Experian/Credit.com- 6.7 years. Credit Sesame says 1.8 months? Thanks. Was wondering where they figured this. AAoA is just an average like any other average. Add up the ages of the accounts and divide by the number of accounts. Many find it easier to convert into months, calculate and then convert back into years. You can use Excel and its date formulas if you don't want to do this manually. There are also online AAoA calculators. Experian is more likely to be correct. CS is probably providing AAoOA.

You're really not leveraging a 0% offer if you're PIF'ing each month. However, if you're not PIF'ing each month on cards without 0% offers then you're killing rewards.Okay this is confusing, would you mind clarifying? The Amex and QS have 0% interest for well into next year (not sure of exact date, I will look up again) so it would seem that it would not matter if i carry balance or pay in full until the real APR begins next year.
So whats the best way to utilize these as my main cards to get as much cash back(QS) and MR point as possible. Carry balance or pif, or does it not matter in this case for now?
RandomSpirit wrote:
Are there other cards I should look at acquiring?  As with all other request you need to tell us what you need/want so we have something to use to narrow down the options for you.
Now, I am leaning towards low interest being the most important to me, secondly would be cash back.
RandomSpirit wrote:
Was thinking about BoA Cash Rewards offer for 12.99 because of the lower interest rateHere's an example of why a prioritized list of criteria matters. If the lowest possible interest is a priority above all else then you shouldn't be looking at rewards cards as they typically come with higher interest rates. If you want the lowest possible APR you need to fins a barebones card. They're offered with rates as low as 6.x% depending on what you qualify for. This is most important to me
That said, rewards and a low APR aren't mutually exclusive but typically rewards cards will come with a higher APR as you aren't getting something for nothing. While I do try to get my APR's as low as possible you might want to consider why APR is a concern if you're paying in full. In case I ever have to carry a real balance.Not telling you what to do here but consdier such things when prioritizing your list. For example: is a lower APR more important than the biggest rewards for your spend?

Citi Dble Cash and, perhaps
Chase Freedom for sign-up bonus?
Honestly, I was thinking to have a more diversified portfolio. I don;t have any Chase or City cards.So far we have:
• 1 Low APR
• 2-High rewards rate on non-category spend (Double Cash)
• 4-Sign up bonus
• 3-Diversity
Which is most important? Which is least? Where do the rest fall? We can't tell you this. You need to tell us.
Again, I'd recommend looking at your spend and ensuring that your card lineup maxmizes rewards on your spend. The Double Cash is a good option for non category spend but if you haven't found higher rewards for a major spend category that you have then you might want to look into finding something for that category. Thanks for taking the time to offer your suggestions Tekeshi74. If gives me a lot consider.

What can you do with Color Lookup Tables (CLUT) and other ranges.?

Ok.... I might be repeating something.... but someone
suggested to post this as it hasn't be answered....
Anyway I'm curious on what you can do with Color Lookup
Tables (CLUT) in Fireworks.... I've been looking for details on
CLUT, but have only found information on what it's all about....
Alright, to the point, I'm kind of having some trouble on
what to do period with them....in the optimize panel in Fireworks I
saved the Palette, of all the colors I wanted (or so it seemed,
idk), and made it so it would be for a PNG 32 file... *is this
suppose to be an .act file too?*.... I then took the image to have
the colors replaced to the ones I saved in the custom color
table... so I tried loading the .act file I had saved, that had the
colors I made for the other image, but nothing happened... so I
tried doing other various types of files..... I tried doing it as a
.gif, and it work.... but the thing is I don't want it to be a
gif... and yes, it is kind of vague, but I really don't know what
to really do....
Is there only certain ways that you can load up CLUT files
into different pictures...?? I want this picture to be a .png file
too, so is there any way to save the color palette, and load them
into these type of files..?? or it can't be done with them..??
overal, I want this image to be .png files... is there any
tutorial or info on this..?? it would be quite helpful...

Smart Folders - what do you do with the messages?

I am trying to organize business email using Smart Mailboxes. I love that I can click the Smart Mailbox and see all the correspondence I've had with that person in one folder. This is enormously helpful!
The question is this - what do I do with the original message? I now have HUNDREDS of emails sitting in my inbox. I can't delete them or they'll be gone from the Smart Mailbox, right? But I lose emails that I need to reply to because they get buried in the clutter.
What's the best way to handle this, create a Rule to move them to another folder after they've been read?

Smart Mailboxes are not for organizing messages. They are for finding messages that meet specified criteria. A Smart Mailbox is basically a saved search. For organizing, you want regular (non-smart) mailboxes. Use rules to file incoming messages automatically.

What do you do with Unanswered questions on here

So far i have three posts on here, some older than a month, and so far all three are unanswered, so what the heck do you do with that when this is the only support option you are bascially left with?
Really bites when Itunes store is selling wrong item listed and won't reply or give a refund! This just isn't right!

What do you do with the stickers?

I noticed I have two white apple stickers in my box that the keyboard and mouse came in. What do I do with them? Do they go somewhere specific?

Apple believes everyone who owns a Mac will be overcome by love for the product and want to share it with the world.
They can be placed anywhere you feel compelled to put them-in your window, on your car, on your friends windows laptop, middle of your forehead, refrigerator, toilet seat, etc.
Enjoy and have fun.
