When I updated from aperture 2 to aperture 3 it created second library
in my photos folder know I have an aperture library file, and an aperture library-original, my question is because the files are big, the aperture library is 27 gigs, and the aperture library original is 17 gigs, it seems to me that the original is a duplicate, can i erase it, or do i need it?

Are you the only user of the machine? Are there other users using your account? How long ago did you upgrade from 2 to 3? I'm not aware of Aperture creating a backup of the library when you upgrade which is why one of the steps recommended is to make a backup before staring the library upgrade.
Is the library really name -original and not (original) ? (original) would indicate a TM restore of the library where both the current library and TM version of the library were kept. Whats the modified dates on the two libraries? Is one much older than the other?
Given the information there is no way for anyone on this list to tell you that you can delete the library. You will need to figure out how the library came into being and decide if there is anything of value in it that needs saving.

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture....
When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture 3 it shows two versions of each image. One is original and one is iphoto edited. It shows this for every picture even if it was never edited in iphoto. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is so, what image should I use to edit in iphoto?
This is asked and covered a lot here, a search of the list will bring up numerous other threads covering this. Also the More Like This box on the right side of the page will show you other posts on this topic.
This post, Duplicates when importing from iPhoto is the most recent example.
Briefly iPhoto took even the most trivial change to an image as an edit and created a new image. The most common reason for this is rotated images.
As for which image of the two you want to keep, that's entirely up to you. If there is really no difference between the two then you can keep either it makes no difference.
The thread I linked to above will explain how to use Aperture's filters to gather up all of one or the other.

When dowloading updates from my iTunes library onto my iPhone
my playlists appear in reverse order with the least played at the top of the list
and most played at the end on the playlist.
Therefore I cant play my favourites in the order that I like to hear them.
This all changed when I recently downloaded the iCloud application.Hi Jim,
Is this temporary cache accessing my data when I play songs from it? As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm still able to listen to these songs even when my phone is in airplane mode and the download icon is still present next to said songs. This implies that the songs are already downloaded onto my phone even if I didn't opt to download them directly from the cloud -- they're on my phone because my phone was shuffling my library on a wifi network.

When I updated from Snow Leopard to Lion, a new username w/administrative powers was created. Trying to merge old w/ new and retain all photos, music, etc of each but can't figure it out. Any ideas on how to do so?
I ended up calling Apple Tech Support for help on this. Got directed to a Mail expert. He had me move the following files from my home Library file folder.
~\Library\Mail\V2\MailData\Envelope Index
~\Library\Mail\V2\MailData\Envelope Index-shm
~\Library\Mail\V2\MailData\Envelope Index-wal
Then he asked me to quit Mail and then restart it again. When it restarted, it imported the mail (which the original migration had not done before). This solved about 90% of the problems. In my old mail folder in Snow Leopard, I had a Mail folder called Archive. Since this is now a reserved folder name, the import to Mountain Lion choked and it created five duplicates of this folder and its subfolders. I just deleted these and then went to Time Machine and brought in a single copy. The Rules and Smart Folders I had were gone and couldn't be resurrected, so had to spend some time and rebuild them by hand. But, now it all seems to be working well. -

When you install 10.7 or later, a Recovery HD partition is created taking a small part of the bottom portion of the BootCamp partition so it will be slightly smaller.
However upgrades can go bad and you need to backup regardless.
Most commonly used backup methods
If you can only upgrade to 10.7 on that machine and can't go to 10.8, then really it's almost a wasted effort really.
You should know your PPC based programs that are running under 10.6's "Rosetta" are NOT going to work if you upgrade to 10.7 or later.
Be prepared to buy all new programs.

Also there is a performance issue especially after you software update 10.7 to the lastest version, it's more defined on older machines.
If it's not a Early 2011 or later, I would stick with 10.6.8 on it as it has about 30% version share, almost the same as 10.7 has. Apple is paying attention to Snow Leopard, recent security updates have been issued.

my ipad will no longer connect to the laptop. it comes up with usb not recognized. also when trying to connect to the power the first time i connect, nothing, but when i unplug from ipad and plug in a second time it charges
yeah tried all that. the only thing that i havent tried is to delete itunes completely and restart. its the same with the ipad. i havent done a master reset. i just think it has to be something rather simple as it acknowledges that i have plugged in the ipad as it makes the noise it just come up usb not recognized. it shows up as an unknown device that doestn have any drivers

When iCloud switched from MobileMe, 2 accounts got created. How do I merge the 2 accounts
When iCloud switched from MobileMe, 2 accounts got created, How do I merge them? Help. Please
This sounds as if when you migrated from MobileMe, instead of signing in with your MobileMe email address you created a new iCloud account separately. If you want to make use of the data in what was your MobileMe account you have to sign in with it.
You can't merge the accounts, but you having signed in with one in System Preferences>iCloud you can sign in with another, to become the 'secondary account', in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars. You can access email and sync Calendars and Contacts here alongside the primary account: mail will not be 'pushed' but checked at intervals, and you cannot use PhotoStream. -
When I imported from IPhoto to Aperture did I create a duplicate library?
Background:
I am new to Mac and all its applications having moved from a crashed PC and Picassa to an IMAC and Aperture. I got the machine in December of 2011 and all applicatiopns and the OS are up to date.
Apple store ported over all my files and the pics went to IPhoto. As soon as I got home with no knowledge and my brand new machine I downloaded Aperture.
I assume I was prompted by Aperture to import all my Iphotos but I don't remember how this was done. Since I am so ignorant about Macs I assume that I didn't do anything other than follow the prompts. My 1TB drive is almost full and I was surfing for solutions when I found a post about duplicate libraries.
Questions:
1 Not knowing how I got to where I am, how do I determine if I have seperate Libraries? I assumed thet both IPhoto and Aperture shared the same Library but I think that is a wrong assumption.
2 What is the procedure for deleting the Iphoto Library if I do have a duplicate Library?
3 I have a gazillion pics in the trash due to multiple imports. I assumed that I was only moving pointers to the trash and that all these duplications were not true duplicates, I now think that this is a wrong assumption. If these are indeed duplicates then dumping trash will free up a lot of space ?
4 Is there any way to globally eliminate all duplicates?Blayne,
before you do any restructuring of your libraries, I would recommend to update your software (MacOS X, Aperture, and iPhoto) to the latest versions. Lauch the AppStore to see, if any updates are waiting. There have been some important bugfixes in the past month.
Also make sure you have a current and working backup of all your libraries.
assume I was prompted by Aperture to import all my Iphotos but I don't remember how this was done. Since I am so ignorant about Macs I assume that I didn't do anything other than follow the prompts.
There are essentially three different ways to import an iPhoto library to Aperture. It will depend on the Import settings you choose, where your images are stored:
When you import the iPhoto library using: " File > Import > iPhoto Library" you will see an Import Panel like this:
If you selected Store Files "In the Aperture Library", then all your images from iPhoto are now duplicated in the Aperture Library package, and you can safely delete your iPhoto Library after backing it up.
If you selected Store Files "In their current location", then the master image files of your Aperture images are still in their original location - in the iPhoto Library - and you must not delete the iPhoto Library.
If you selected Store Files "Choose", and selected a folder, then your master image files are currently in some folder outside the Aperture library, but not in the iPhoto Library.
Since you do not remember, what your settings were, I think it would be the safest, to consolidate all your images into the Aperture library, whereever they are now. This will give you a tidy starting point for your future work. To consolidate:
Select the "Photos" View in the Library Inspector panel, and select all your images in the browser.
Then select "File > Consolidate Masters" from the main Aperture menu bar.
This will move all master image files into the Aperture library. Compare the size of your Aperture library before and after. Then you can delete the iPhoto library.
I have a gazillion pics in the trash due to multiple imports. I assumed that I was only moving pointers to the trash and that all these duplications were not true duplicates, I now think that this is a wrong assumption. If these are indeed duplicates then dumping trash will free up a lot of space ?
After consolidating you can empty the Aperture Trash. Thedisk space will only be freed, after you empty the trash on your Desktop as well.

Can I get Numbers to stay on the same spreadsheet when it updates from iCloud?
I have Numbers open on my iMac, my iPad, and my iPhone. When I change an entry, and it updates the other devices, it defaults back to the first spreadsheet. I have a budget spreadsheet, and each month is a new sheet. I have it on October, but when it updates, the other devices go back to January, and at 125% zoom. Also, when I start the spreadsheet, it also defaults back to January. It did not do that prior to the new version.
Can I fix that?Ayme,

Duplicates when importing photos from iPhoto to Aperture 3
I have recently purchased Aperture 3 & am trying to import my events from Iphoto to A3 but each event I import has duplicates of EVERY image. Even if I have never edited the photo in Iphoto it always shows 2 photos of every shot? Any solutions to avoid this as it will be too hard to go thru each event & delete the duplicates. Too many!!
When I check my system info it reads that I have 2 memory slots x 2GB (don't really know what that means) and I am running MacOS 10.7.4 yes. I have 63GB of 499GB free so nowhere near 30%. Explains why it is running slow I guess :-)
So you have 4GB RAM, that should do if you do not run many applications in parallel, and you really need to free some disk space! There is a nice utility in the Applications > Utilities folder: Activity Monitor. Launc it and look at the runtime and memory usage. That will tell you if your system is running low on RAM. My MBP profited considerably from an upgrade to 8GB.
I am trying to back up on a WD external drive USB. I don't understand what a firewire port is?
Firewire is a fast connection to external devices, and many external disks offer a firewire cable connection; the port usually is marked by a Y-Symbol:
Leonie, I have read something about duplicate annihalitor (or something like that). Would it pay to run that on my Iphoto first and delete duplicates? Have u used that programme?
I have never used it myself, but Terence Devlin recommends it frequently. It will find exact duplicates, if you imported the same image twice or made copies, but it will not remove the original masters of a version, afaik. Check it out here:
Duplicate Annihilator:
Can I store my library on my external HD and just access it each time I enter Aperture so that my Mac HD doesnt get overloaded?
There is a better way in Aperture:
What I do on my MBP with limited space is to keep the Aperture library on the System volume, but (most of) the original master image files on an external drive. This is what is called a referenced Aperture library. I set the Aperture preferences to enable the creation of Previews. THis way I can browse my images, tag them, and rate them with stars even if I am on the road. The images can be accessed from the Media Browser and used in other iApps or the screen saver. Only when I want to edit an image I need to connect the external volume and to mount it.
To turn an image into a referenced image select it (or select several images at once) and from the main menu bar select: File -> Relocate master(s). Then select a location where to store your masters on the external volume.
I usually import the new images as managed (stored inside the Aperture library) and relocate them to the external volume when I am through with editing. Perhaps this kind of workflow will be suitable for you too. Bt do not forget to backup the master images on the external volume as well.

Léonie

So I was trying to update my 4th gen iPod touch when it canceled the update and told me that I needed to update iTunes. So while I was trying to do so, which didn't even work by the way, I noticed that my iPod was stuck on the screen that you get when updating your iOS. The bar was about a quarter way filled when it froze. I'm not sure how to fix this or what to google to find a solution so I came here. I'm actually leaving it alone to try to see if it runs out of battery since after all it has to be wasting battery from being on all the time. Please help!

How to set Changed_by field with User ID not by Workflow ID, when Status Update from Workflow
Hi Frds,
I am updating the Order Status from Workflow. So the Status update (or Order Changed) is save with Workflow ID. I need to insert UserID instead of workflow ID. Please help me out of this.
Thanks
ImranHi Imran
With the very few details available on your process, the workflow design and the "Order", all I can suggest is that:
1) In your workflow definition, go to the step which sends the user decision, in the binding FROM the TASK TO the Workflow, set _ACTUAL_AGENT to a workflow container element , say DECISION_AGENT (of type SWHACTOR)
2) Assuming that the next step in APPROVAL branch is setting of the status, go the task ID of that Step -> make it a dialog step (remove the Background Processing check) -> set it's agent assignment to general task
3) Back in the workflow, set that STATUS SETTING step to Advance With Dialog under the details tab
4) In the control tab of the same step, in the agents section, set agent as EXPRESSION and the value as &DECISION_AGENT&
When a user approves the decision item, his ID will be stored in DECISION_AGENT
The status set will execute immediately (because of "Advance with Dialog") in the same session of approving as the user who approved is the same running this step now
The status will be set by the ID of the Approver
The above is hypothetical considering
1) You do not have dynamic parallel processing
2) Status setting happens immediately after the approval; as a first step in the approval branch
3) The Decision Task does not has "Confirm End of Processing" checked.

Why is this table trigger not firing when insert/update from servlet?
Hi!
I have this servlet that parses XML and stores values into Oracle tables. I have created a table trigger so that when one table is updated, a trigger is fired and the current system date is store in another table's field.
I have tested the trigger in Toad and it works, that is, if I update the table that the trigger is set to, the SYSDATE is stored as intended.
Here is the trigger's code:
DECLARE
tmpVar NUMBER;
NAME: transaction_time
PURPOSE:
REVISIONS:
Ver Date Author Description
1.0 9/14/2007 1. Created this trigger.
NOTES:
Automatically available Auto Replace Keywords:
Object Name: transaction_time
Sysdate: 9/14/2007
Date and Time: 9/14/2007, 8:00:42 AM, and 9/14/2007 8:00:42 AM
Username: (set in TOAD Options, Proc Templates)
Table Name: MS_RESLIMITS (set in the "New PL/SQL Object" dialog)
Trigger Options: (set in the "New PL/SQL Object" dialog)
BEGIN
tmpVar := 0;
UPDATE MS_Misc SET mi_lastrun = SYSDATE;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
-- Consider logging the error and then re-raise
RAISE;
END transaction_time;
Now, when the table is updated by the servlet, the trigger does not fire. And here is the code from the servlet:
--- <start of code> ---
boolean recordExists =
this.isRecordPresent("MS_ResLimits", "rl_compcode",
compCode, url);
Connection rlConn = null;
try {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
rlConn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, dbUser,
dbPwd);
Statement stmt = rlConn.createStatement();
PreparedStatement xmlUpdate = null;
if (recordExists) {
xmlUpdate =
rlConn.prepareStatement("UPDATE MS_ResLimits SET rl_compcode = ?, rl_maxreslimit= ? WHERE rl_compcode =?");
xmlUpdate.setString(1, compCode);
xmlUpdate.setString(2, maximumReservationDate);
xmlUpdate.setString(3, compCode);
} else {
xmlUpdate =
rlConn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO MS_ResLimits VALUES(?,?)");
xmlUpdate.setString(1, compCode);
xmlUpdate.setString(2, maximumReservationDate);
} //end-if-else
int n = xmlUpdate.executeUpdate();
rlConn.commit();
} catch (Exception ex) {
out.println(ex.toString() +
"-> error inserting Max Reservation Date<br>");
} finally {
if (rlConn != null) {
rlConn.close();
} //end-try-catch-finally
--- <end of code> ---
What causes the trigger to fire? the commit? My understanding is that executeUpdates are in autocommit mode by default, or am I mistaken? Do I have to programmatically send something to the DB so that the trigger fires?
BTW, I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0. The project is being compiled with Java 1.5.0_06. The servlet is running in OCJ4 standalone. DB is 10g (don't know the release version).
...and, for some reason this message is not keeping format from my edit window to the post...
Thx!

Thank you very much, I'm don't know to get help from any one.
Best Regards,It's a built-in app, so it can't be deleted nor downloaded from the store. If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
