I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?
Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go. -
Why can I not rename an event in iphoto? It keeps reverting to "untitled event!"
Every time I upload photos to iphoto and it creates a new event, I am somehow unable to rename that event. I double click and delete the default label, "untitled event" and even as I type the new name it will immediately revert to say "untitled event." This sometimes happens even at the same time as I type, like the computer and my own typing are fighting against each other.
Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try renaming again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

why can i not close a tab i have 2 close all tabs and restart firefox then selet browse this is verry anoying
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Why can I not hear my iPad 2 "click"off when I close cover
Why can I not hear my iPad 2 "click"off when I close cover
Hi you are not going to believe this but under "ringer and alerts" I decided to increase the level of sound (was set half way) once I did that it was like it "released" it!! The cover now clicks off even when I returned setting back to original place.
Thanks so much for your hep. -
Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tells me that the file is being used even when iall other programs are closed. How can I fix this issue?
Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document. -
HT2736 Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance???
Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance??? It allows you to pay using credit card, paypal, or a new iTunes card, but why can we not gift apps and songs to each other using the current balance we have on our accounts from previous iTunes gift card purchases etc.?
Either I am missing something very obvious here, or Apple's greedy stance on gifting is actually creating less usage of the feature, because I for one would not think twice about purchasing gifts for people with a current balance that is already accounted for, but when it comes to adding money or using a card, it just feels like a new payment, and a bigger monetary burden.
Please let me know how to do this if it is possible, and if it is not, then PLEASE FIX ?I agree with some points that is how it works. Because apple do things they want....
It's quite nice that way being so unique and remarkable. However it is so inconvenient for users who sometimes just want to gift things without a credit card or such whatever. Because sometimes it's meaningless to have balance when you aren't able to spend it.
The point is made. Many are not happy with it but that's life. Just take it or leave it... -

Why can I not import the videos from my iPhone 4 onto my desktop (Windows Vista)? When I plug in it imports the photos without a problem but it doesn't seem to import the videos.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

"An error occurred during activation. Try again." Why can I not sign into imessage?
"An error occurred during activation. Try again." Why can I not sign into Imessage?
Hi,
You stated earlier that you had already deleted the "madrid" .plist with no effect.
Can I check you did this with the app closed down or at least restarted the app straight afterwards ?
If you did that close the app if open and access the ~/Library/Preferences folder again.
This time delete com.apple.imessage.bag.plist
This item stores the Apple server used for your Login to the iMessages server and contains a date/time reference.
Restarting the app after deleting this file will make it reconnect with the iMessages servers in a fresh manner which my solve things.
It may sort out any date/time issues with the stored date.
Messages is one of the app that Apple have "Sandboxed".
This means that some of it's operations are held away from other apps to prevent one app bringing down several others.
This is turn means that the route or path used by the app to Read and Write to the various .plists is different to the direct placing in ~/Library/Preferences.
The Path is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Preferences
Mostly the items in here are then Aliases that point to the actual originals in ~/Library/Preferences. However there are exceptions.
You can copy and paste the Path above in to the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder dialogue box to access this folder.
Once there use the Finder's View Menu > Show Path Bar.
This adds a collection of folders across the bottom of the Finder window.
Right click on the Preferences folder at the right hand list of the Path.
Chose the Get Info option.
In the Info panel scroll to the Bottom.
Your Shortname should appear (with (Me) as well) and you should have Read and Write Permissions
If you highlight this and then use the Cogwheel type iCon it should reveal you shortname again but in Greyed out form which mean you Own the File/folder
Repeat this for each containing folder until the Library item on the left (you don't need to do the Little House icon one)
You should have Read an Write Permissions and Own all of them.
Can you confirm this ?

When I rename a photo why can I not find it doing a search? The photo obviously keeps its old name even though it has a new one> IPhoto 09
Thanks, that makes sense. If I do a search in IPhoto I find it. I have 6 grand children and also have had my camera for quite awhile and it starts file names over again after 10,000 pictures. (I don't have all these on the computer) but now I have some files with the same name ie img_4 and img_4
Thanks again for your help!!

I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can’t save the file “TEST.pages” because the volume is read only.
I get the same message when using Numbers so I presume it is a OS problemSome of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
All the music is on an 2T external drive.TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

Why can I not see a table I own inside a procedure
I have a procedure owned by user X as follows:
create or replace procedure ztm_get_debug_level is
vc_pkg_name system_parameter.name%TYPE := 'DEBUG_LEVEL_PKG_BASE_KEYS';
vn_error services.debug_log_level.debug_level_id%TYPE := 30;
v_debugLevel system_parameter.number_value%TYPE;
function get_owner return varchar2 is
cursor c1 is
select owner from all_tables where table_name = 'SYSTEM_PARAMETER';
v_Ret_Val VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
OPEN C1;
FETCH C1 INTO v_Ret_Val;
CLOSE C1;
RETURN v_Ret_Val;
END;
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('AAAA - ' || get_owner);
select s.number_value
into v_debugLevel
from system_parameter s
where s.name = vc_pkg_name;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('BBBB');
exception
when no_data_found then
NULL;
when others then
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('p_get_debug_level.WHEN OTHERS');
raise;
end;
Table system_parameter is owned by user X.
When I execute I get:
TESTSSG.SUBSCRIPTION.87> exec ztm_get_debug_level
AAAA - X
p_get_debug_level.WHEN OTHERS
BEGIN ztm_get_debug_level; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SUBSCRIPTION.ZTM_GET_DEBUG_LEVEL", line 32
ORA-06512: at line 1
When I run the query outside the procedure as user X I get a row.
Any ideas?
FYI, there are no public sysnonyms.
DB version: 11.2.0.3.0
Thanks,
ThomasThanks Frank,
SYSTEM_PARAMETER is a table owned by X. If I qualify the select statement by adding the owner it works, but of course I do not want to do that. Here is the DDL for creating SYSTEM_PARAMETER:
create table SYSTEM_PARAMETER
name VARCHAR2(256) not null,
date_value DATE,
number_value NUMBER,
string_value VARCHAR2(512),
comments VARCHAR2(512)
alter table SYSTEM_PARAMETER add constraint PK_SYSTEM_PARAMETER primary key (NAME);
Again, if I rewrite the procedure to the following (only difference is the red X.), it works:
create or replace procedure ztm_get_debug_level is
vc_pkg_name system_parameter.name%TYPE := 'DEBUG_LEVEL_PKG_BASE_KEYS';
vn_error services.debug_log_level.debug_level_id%TYPE := 30;
v_debugLevel system_parameter.number_value%TYPE;
function get_owner return varchar2 is
cursor c1 is
select owner from all_tables where table_name = 'SYSTEM_PARAMETER';
v_Ret_Val VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
OPEN C1;
FETCH C1 INTO v_Ret_Val;
CLOSE C1;
RETURN v_Ret_Val;
END;
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('AAAA - ' || get_owner);
select s.number_value
into v_debugLevel
from X.system_parameter s
where s.name = vc_pkg_name;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('BBBB');
exception
when no_data_found then
NULL;
when others then
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('p_get_debug_level.WHEN OTHERS');
raise;
end;
This procedure exists in 4 other environments where there are no issues. It can't be a privileges issue as the table is owned by user X and as you can see by the lookup (which was added for debug) against ALL_TABLES the owner is clearly X. So, why can X not select from it's own table unless we include the owner?
Thanks,
Thomas
