Why can't iPhoto do a very simple thing-allow you to reduce your images

Using Windows allowed you to simply make an image tiny...the great (?) iPhoto doesn't allow you to do that

Yes it does.

TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
Examples of what is going on:
1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums. Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues. What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer. Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
Do you have any suggestions.

Why can't Adobe do something as simple as giving us a desktop shortcut? Or even better allow us to access direct from print option as we could do if we had the software installed?

Why can't Adobe do something as simple as giving us a desktop shortcut? Or even better allow us to access direct from print option as we could do if we had the software installed?

Now that I know you are talking about Cloud (not the focus of this forum -- a forum on Acrobat that does provide the icons and the reason for wondering what you were talking about). The Creative Cloud that I have does include the icons on the desktop. However, I am not familiar with the cloud service other than CC. If it is some other product, then exactly what is the product name. As far as CC, I get the icons on my desktop, so I am not sure what your problem might be.
If you did not like the tone, I am sorry, But I honestly had no clue what you were talking about because you only said that Adobe icons were not coming up. You provided no information on the product or operating system that are fundamental to providing help. Adobe (the company name) has about 150 forums dealing with different products probably numbering close to 100. So saying no Adobe icons was meaningless to me and thus the question. I was trying to get information to help you. If you took it as an insult, I am sorry.

Why can't iPhoto recognize duplicate pictures?

My dad recently reinstalled OSX on his computer. He regularly backs up his photos on discs and hard drives, so there's a lot of overlap. While importing the files back into iPhoto 6, duplicates of two, three, and sometimes four keep popping up. Why can't iPhoto not import duplicates like the camera import? We can't possibly sort through 10,000 photos manually!

Check out
Duplicate Annihilator
You might also like to research how to back up and restore iPhoto to avoid the problem occurring in the first place. For instance, if you've backed up the entire iPhoto Library Folder, then all you need to do is copy it back to the Pictures Folder and launch iPhoto - there's no importing. Something similar is the case if you've backed up using the Share -> Burn command. The specifics will vary depending on how you back up.

Why can't Flash Video be as simple as QT?

After weeks of unsuccessfully trying to convert my
QuickTime/Windows Media-based video gallery to a working Flash
gallery, I finally gave up and returned to the
old-school-yet-tried-and-true QT/WMV.
But I'm still curious - QT & WMV are able to use a single
file (.mov or .wmv) while Flash requires the file AND a player
(Somehow my track record of getting the swf to play the flv was
sketchy). One of the perks of Flash, as I understood it, was that
the majority of browsers are able to play Flash movies. But it's
not quite as simple. Being required to upload the swf in order to
play the flv seems to be like imbedding a QT plug-in to play the
.mov. Why can't Flash Video be as simple as simply downloading the
flv just as playing a Quicktime Movie is as simple as downloading
the mov (as long as the user has the correct plug-in)?

New Pages is double spacing after enter again- can't find the area in inspector that allows you to change paragraph format...help?

New Pages is double spacing after enter again- can't find the area in inspector that allows you to change paragraph format...help?

The "new" Pages is missing just about everything.
Your best best is to go back to the old Pages (mavericks puts in in your applications folder in IWorks.
Apple told me that based on input from users they will add back some missing features back but I suspect that will take a long time if ever.
They (Apple) say they created a new Pages to make it work seamlessly on various devices.
But in doing so they've dumbed down the programs to where they're nearly useless.
Any new users who don't know what "old" Pages could do will probably be satisfied.
But those of us who use this program to do real publishing should send feed back to Apple.
Apple has decided that we are "heavy" users and not representative of the majority of their customers.
That's why I suspect that putting back the features in Pages will not be top priority.
But just in case they really do read the feedback send them your opinions and feature requirements and just maybe if enough people squawk they'll at least put the old Pages back in the App Store (it's gone now).
One possibility crossed my mind. If the new OS Yosemite can mirror devices, perhaps we'll be able to mirror the old pages on to our IOS devices than you could have the full capability of Pages and the connivence of an IPad or IPhone.
Wouldn't that be awesome?
At least in the presentation, it looked like it could work, we'll see.

Why does't apple allow you to read your iBooks library over the web from a browser or me account?

Why does't Apple allow you to read your iBooks library over the web from a browser or me account? I have time to read during the day via a browser, but not by Ipad or Iphone. I love the features that iBook offers, but I have had to settle for Google books which is slow to upgrade its features. I just want to be able to highlight, copy and past and make notes and also have the option to read a book in a browser like google books.

Wow.. I'm almost sorry that you spent so much time writing that post.
Unfortunately, it would have much more impact if it were true.
Just because you don't know how to do something... that doesn't mean it can't be done.
I do what you say can't be done every day.
You just need to put your iPod into manual update mode, and everything will be fine. You songs won't be greyed out, and you can play them with no trouble at all.
So, next time you need help with something, just ask for help and we'll help you. It'll certainly make yourself look less foolish this way.
Ranting and bashing Apple for no reason isn't going to win many people over.

Why can't I do tabbed browing, I have followed you instuctions and they still don't work

'''Why can't I load multiple browser pages?'''
If I try to load a browser page when I have one already loaded, the second one loads over the top of the first one and the first one is deleted.
Why can't I load a new page into a tab alongside the first one in the browser bar?
Please don't tell me to load tabs from File/New Tab. It doesn't work!
I have tried all of your answers on this subject and none of them work!
I have even reverted to version 3.5 of Firefox and that didn't help.
I often need to use multiple tabs when I am browsing.
I have used Firefox for the last five years without any problems but if I don't receive a satisfactory answer then I will uninstall Firefox completely and go back to using Microsoft IE.

Can an Acrobat form have a field that allows you to select and display an image?

Hello,
I'm trying to streamline my most frequent job duty. I work for a box plant and I spend most of my day creating or updating Print Cards. These are letter sized pages that contain the job information along the top and an image of the package laid flat below. What I'm trying to do is make the Print Card a form that I can fill in, and have the final field ask me to select the image. I would then browse for my package design and drop it into the specified field.
Is this possible? It seems like it should be. I'm fairly illustrator savvy, but I've yet to really get my hands on Acrobat (though I get more excited about it the more research I do).
Eventually, I want to turn this single form into a full portfolio that would be linked pdf versions of every form we currently use. The info would then be uploaded and assessable by anyone on our team. I don't know how to do half of that, but I'm learning. So I guess, expect to see me post on this for a while.
-Jefferson

Yes, you can set up a button that has a layout other than "Label only" and use the following as the Mouse Up JavaScript for the button:
// Mouse Up script for button
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
You will then be prompted to select a file as the source of the button icon. You can choose form a number of file types. You should then set the button to read-only before sending the PDF.
To trigger the import from a different button, bookmark, link, etc., the script would be:
getField("image_button").buttonImportIcon();
Replace "image_button" with the actual name of the button that will display the image.

Why can't iPhoto be installed on an iPod Touch 4G?

Since the iPod Touch 4g seems to have all the hardware required why have Apple chosen to not support allow iPhoto to be installed?

iPhoto CAN be installed on an iPod Touch 4G and also an iPad 1, just use the iPhone Configuration Utility download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1465 (OSX)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1466 (Windows)
Just add the Application (after downloading in iTunes) to the program, connect your iPod/iPad and click "Install".
However: You can't sync apps with iTunes after doing this (it will remove iPhoto)
It will work perfectly on both iPad and iPod Touch

Simple xerces DOMParser. Why won't this validate? Very simple, xml schema

I have written a java program called "Validate.java" to validate an xml file. The program uses the xerces DOMParser. When I try and validate a correct .xml file with a correct schema in an .xsd file I get the following errors:
[Error] Document is invalid: no grammar found. line 2 column 6 - name5.xml
[Error] Document root element "name", must match DOCTYPE root "null". line 2 column 6 - name5.xmlThe XML file, the XSD file, and the Validate.java program are all in the same directory. My CLASSPATH includes xml-apis.jar, xercesImpl.jar, and xercesSamples.jar.
Here is the xml file (name5.xml):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<name
    xmlns="http://www.myOwnURL.net/name"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.myOwnURL.net/name name5.xsd"
    title="Mr.">
<first>John</first>
<middle>Fitzgerald</middle>
<last>Doe</last>
</name>(I saved the file in the UTF-8 encoding, which causes it to look double spaced in some text editors.)
The schema is in the following xsd file (name5.xsd):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schema
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    targetNamespace="http://www.myOwnURL.net/name"
    xmlns:target="http://www.myOwnURL.net/name"
    elementFormDefault="qualified">
<element name="name">
    <complexType>
      <sequence>
        <element name="first" type="string"/>
        <element name="middle" type="string"/>
        <element name="last" type="string"/>
      </sequence>
      <attribute name="title" type="string"/>
    </complexType>
</element>
</schema>(Again, the file is saved in UTF-8 format.)
Here is the code for Validate.java:
public class Validate implements org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler
    private String instance = null;
    private int warnings = 0;
    private int errors = 0;
    private int fatalErrors = 0;
    private org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser parser = new org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser();
    public Validate() // constructor
        parser.setErrorHandler(this); // Set the errorHandler
    public void setInstance(String s)
        instance = s;
    public boolean doValidate()
        try
            warnings = 0;
            errors = 0;
            fatalErrors = 0;
            try
                // Turn the validation feature on
                parser.setFeature( "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
                // Parse and validate
                System.out.println("Validating source document...");
                parser.parse(instance);
                // We parsed... let's give some summary info of what we did
                System.out.println("\nComplete " + warnings + " warnings " + errors + " errors " + fatalErrors + " fatal errors");
                // Return true if we made it this far with no errors
                return ((errors == 0) && (fatalErrors == 0));
            catch (org.xml.sax.SAXException e)
                System.err.println("\nCould not activate validation features - " + e.getMessage());
                return false;
        catch (Exception e)
            System.err.println("\n"+e.getMessage());
            return false;
    public void warning(org.xml.sax.SAXParseException ex)
        System.err.println("\n[Warning] " + ex.getMessage() + " line " + ex.getLineNumber()
        + " column " + ex.getColumnNumber() + " - " + instance);
        warnings++;
    public void error(org.xml.sax.SAXParseException ex)
        System.err.println("\n[Error] " + ex.getMessage() + " line " + ex.getLineNumber()
        + " column " + ex.getColumnNumber() + " - " + instance);
        errors++;
    public void fatalError(org.xml.sax.SAXParseException ex) throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
        System.err.println("\n[Fatal Error] " + ex.getMessage() + " line " + ex.getLineNumber()
        + " column " + ex.getColumnNumber() + " - " + instance);
        fatalErrors++;
        throw ex;
    public static void main(String[] args)
        Validate validate1 = new Validate();
        if (args.length == 0)
            System.out.println("Usage : java Validate <instance>");
            return;
        // Set the instance
        if (args.length >= 1) validate1.setInstance(args[0]);
        // Validate (the doValidate returns either true or false depending on
        // whether there were any errors.)
        if (!validate1.doValidate()) return;
}My question is: why do I get those errors??? Why doesn't everything just validate like it is supposed to??? Also, why does the error even mention DOCTYPE -- I thought that was for DTDs, and I am using XML Schema.
I will be very grateful to anyone who can tell me what is going on here.
Thanks,
Jon

I have solved my problem. I just needed to add the following line to my java program:
parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", true);I'm still not sure how I was supposed to know this, however. I guess spending three hours searching on google is what you are supposed to do. Also, I was thrown for a bit of a loop by the following official faq found at http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-pcfp.html:
[faq]
Question: How can I tell the parser to validate against XML Schema and not to report DTD validation errors?
Answer: Currently this is impossible. We hope that JAXP 1.2 will provide this capability via its schema language property. Otherwise, we might introduce a Xerces language property that will allow specifying the language against which validation will occur.
[faq]
I am very new to XML (less than a week), but that FAQ sure makes it sound like using only XML Schema and completely avoiding DTDs is impossible. On the other hand, I think that is what I was able to achieve by adding the above line to my code.
Oh well.

Why can't iphoto see the pics?

I use an Imac running Mac OX X 10.4.11 and iphoto 6. I was trying to copy a lot of pics using Rozio Toast 7. So I decided (Dumb me) to drag the iphoto icon from the dock to the Toast 7 copy area. The iphoto icon disappeared and it was no longer on the dock. I was able to put iphoto back on the dock, however not all the pics are there. I found the missing pics in a folder by clicking the macintosh HD icon, pictures, iphoto library, data, a folder I named 2001, I then dragged the 2001 icon to the iphoto icon and dropped it there. But I got the following message:
Unreadable Files: 1 the following file could not be imported. (The file is in the iphoto library folder.) then inside the box it says /users/Nes/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Data/2001
Then, if I open a picture from the 2001 file using the “preview” program the pics are smaller than when I had them in iphoto.
So here are a couple of questions. Can I do a “restore” and start my computer as it was a week ago before I made the mistake? If not, how can I get Iphoto to open the pics again.
Thank you for any help I can get.

1 - Never ever for any reason =make changes of any sort to the content or the structure of the iPhoto library - there are no user serviceable parts in it
2 - the Dock has nothing to do with your photos - the Dock only contains an alias for the iPhoto application (it points to the iPhoto application in your applications folder)
3 - all you need to do is restore your iPhoto library from a backup prior to the problem - I would drag the existing bad on to the desktop just in case and then restore the iPhoto library from an appropriate time

Why can't verizon tell us a simple date?

I am getting extremely frustrated because Verizon says on the phones that the iPhone 6 plus is on back-order until 10/31 for the 128gb for Silver. I don't understand why they didn't have these on hand so people could get them. I would like it as soon as possible. It is ALOT of money for a phone to have to wait a month or so. Could someone in Verizon's company let us know when they will be shipping?
Thanks!
Kayla.

You did see the news reports that Apple cannot keep up to demand for the iPhone 6 Plus and that deliveries are not matching requests. It is indicated the demand is so high, that Apple is delaying the new larger iPad and shifting work that would have been on on that to the 6 Plus. I suspect Verizon doesn't give exact dates since they can't guarantee they will get as many phones as they are requesting.
