Where Does iPhoto Get The Date?

I'm not sure I understand where iPhoto is getting the information for a photo's Date.
Is it coming from the photo's metadata?
If so, which field?
I have scanned old photo and I want iPhoto to show the Data that they were originally taken, not when they were scanned. I've used both Aperture and Adobe Lightroom to change the created date, but iPhoto seems to be using the date the photo was scanned.

I scanned the photo. I used Lightroom to modify the photo, including changing the capture time and date.
When I view the photo's metadata in Adobe Bridge, it shows the correct/new date that I entered in Lightroom.
But, when I import that photo into iPhoto, iPhoto shows the date as today. That seems odd. Today is not the date the photo was scanned. And it's not using the data I modified in the metadata.
That is because
iPhoto uses the date in the EXIF fields - if there is none then it uses the file date
I know I can change the date inside iPhoto, but I was hoping to change the date in the photo's metadata, so that now matter who or how someone looks at the photo it will have the correct creation date.
And this is how you do that
You can change the date in iPhoto using the batch change command (photo menu ==> batch change ==> time/date)
Then export the photo
I don't know how iPhoto's data change feature works, but if it's like the name/title change feature, then I wouldn't want to use it.
That is totally up to you - it is the only way to change the date using iPhoto
my wife renamed a bunch of photos in her iPhoto. Then she emailed them to someone and found out that the file name didn't change. The title changed.
That is correct - you can export the photos using the title as the file name (among other options)
I'm not sure why iPhoto would change a title as opposed to the actual file name.
Because iPhoto is a database based photo manager - not a file manager
Or at least have the option to pick what you wanted.
It does - the export command

Power Search - how does it work and where does it get the data from?

Hiya,
Power search in NWBC is great, when it works.
Recently I've been gettign increasingly erratic results - sometimes desktop items are found, sometimes they're not.
Sometime my emails are searched, sometimes they're not...
And so I'm wondering where I can find information on how it works, how it's configured etc.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sorry to rain on your parade, but its not going to be quite that simple.
Populating a second dropdown depending on the first one, has been discussed quite in depth on this forum, I suggest you do a search to look at older posts.
Javascript code cannot call java/database code from an onclick event.
The best it can do is trigger a form submission, which reloads the page
running any java/sql code that displaying the page entails.
So onlick event on the first dropdown triggers a form submit, which loads the page with the correct values in the second dropdown.
con: requires a page request
The other approach is to download ALL possible values to the jsp page, and have javascript handle the swapping of values.
pro: no page refresh needed
con: must have all data available on the page. javascript is a bit more complicated.
Hope this helps,

Where can we get the data for pre calculated reports

Hi,
i want to see the data for pre calculated reports (Reporting agent)
where can we get the data for pre calculated reports
Thanks & Regards,
Shaliny. M

Dear,
This feature of precalculating reports is to enhance the report performance. You will need to schedule this periodically, so that the report is fetched and cached. This allows faster retrieval of report data. Plz. understand that, this scheduling needs to run after every data load in the corresponding cube, so that, the latest data is cached, else the report data will be obsolete.
Thanks

Where does SMC get the power to reset?

Where does SMC get the power to reset?

The SMC is maintained when the battery is connected or the charger is. When removed the SMC's content is erased. However, if your computer has a PRAM battery, then the SMC may use that instead of the main battery. But not all notebooks have a PRAM battery but rely on the main battery only. All depends on the specific motherboard design. Typically, these lithium cells have a maximum life of around 5 years.
In any case you have not stated what you think the problem is with your SMC, so I cannot say whether your assumption about having a dead PRAM battery is correct. If you cannot maintain PRAM settings, then that would be more indicative or the battery being dead.

Where does iphoto put the library?

where does iphoto put the library?
i thought it would be put in the pictures folder but at least in my case it is not there! the folder is empty.
I can import pictures and they show in iphoto and frontrow but I would simply like to know where on my harddisk they end up.
anybody?
thanks

Chris
No! Don't make anew library it will overwrite your old one.
It's there somewhere, it's just that it's visibility status has changed (why??)
Anyway try the following:
go to http://www.cocoatech.com and download Pathfinder. This is an alternative to the Finder - and it has extra features, among them a View-> Show Invisible Items command. This might help us find it.
Pathfinder is shareware, but you can use it for a trial period without paying.

Where does iPhoto save the time for each photo?

I copied some photos from the library to my desktop, ran software to add an hour to several at once (forgot daylight savings time), deleted the original photos from iPhoto, and re-imported the new copy with the new times back into the library.
I was very surprised to see the information window on the bottom left side of the iPhoto window still showed the old time. Even more confusing is that if I bring up the main info window (CMD-I), the time indicated there is the time I corrected to.
Why do these times not match? Where is iPhoto keeping the old times?

Bob:
Other users have reported that also. I've used PhotoInfo to change time and dates of file and upon importing back into iPhoto they are reported as changed in both the Source window info section and in the Get Info window's Photo section. Don't know why I can do it and the other users were not able to.
I just dragged the photos from the thumbnail window to the desktop, launched PhotoInfo, went to the File->Open menu and select the file. I then changed the time and clicked on Change button. Upon importing into iPhoto the date displayed as changed. If you didn't use PhotoInfo you might give it a try.

Where does iphoto store the raw photos?

Hi - I have imported all my photos into iphoto and am begining to get the hang of using iphoto to create my events/albums etc. I have been a PC user for over 20 years and all my media/data etc is backed up onto a NAS drive. For a long time I assumed I could use iphotos in Reference Mode and keep everything on NAS but it is painfully slow, eventhough all my computers communicate wired and I have a decent router. So I have given up and have imported all of them.
However, I would like to keep my NAS as a backup for my raw files. I know I can load my raw data twice by going between the PC and Mac, but would rather not. I would really appreciate it if anyone can tell me if the following is possible;
1. Import new photos from my camera into iphoto
2. Use an app on the iMac to just Copy the new raw photos into my NAS drive, without corrupting iphotos. I can't find where iphotos stores the photos.
3. Go back to iphoto and organise my photos into events etc
4. Keep the original files on NAS to import as and when (if I ever need to)
I am going to get a new external drive, formatted for Mac to back up iphotos BUT in the mean time I'd like to do the above. I am grateful for any help.
Regards
Fataneh

iPhoto 09 and iPhoto 11 have exactly the same options for accessing the images. Exactly the same supported ones, exactly the same unsupported ones.

Where does ATV2 get the photos?

So I have an ATV2 which seems to work well. I can't find any documentation as to where it gets the photos that are displayed while the screen is idle, say while playing music. This is probably a stupid question but I can't figure it out. I'd appreciate any help or pointers.
Thanks in advance.

Where does iBooks get the title and author?

Sorry, this isn't really to do with Pages 09, but I see no more appropriate place for my questiion.
I'm writing an application for personal use (and I'm only writing it for fun, really), which converts text files to ePub format, separating chapters, adding cover art, and so on. It works, except that when I put the generated ePubs into the Books folder of iTunes, the title and author do not show correctly, being replaced by the strings "#title# and "#author#" respectively. The title and author are shown in other parts of the books, such as the body of the Title Page, however, when read in iBooks, though are again incorrect in the page headers.
Do you know where iTunes and iBooks looks in the ePub system (for want of a better word) to find these two items?
Both title and author appear correctly, where appropriate, in:
toc.ncx: <docTitle> <text>Here is the title</text> </docTitle>
title.html: Here is the title
Name of author
content.opf: <dc:title>Here is the title</dc:title>
<dc:creator opf:role="aut">Name of author</dc:creator>
But I must have missed something!

Where does one get the latest CS4 Patch?

I installed CS4 but don't know where the latest patches are? Where can one go to find out about those and download them?

Thank you.
I have the EX1. I just found out CS3 has a patch which makes it X.D CAM EX compatible. Given the fact Cineform will not yet work with CS4, I still wonder whether it isn't too soon to jump into CS4. CS3 has the advantage of being tested, it was designed for XP (which is what I'm using) and it is compatible with Cineform right now. On the other hand CS4 is the future. Which way would you go?
