Why do I have to import?

When I use CMD E to transfer an image from Lightroom to Photoshop and after adjustments use the "save as" button to return the adjusted image back to the same file name, why do I have to return to the same file in Lightroom and import the image into the same file in order for the image to be visible in the Lightroom folder? Whee, forgive me for such a long sentence.
I would think that there would be a way to "save as" back into the same file and have the image be visible without importing. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure that this is germane but I have the bridge program turned off.

At present Photoshop and Lightroom have no way of communicating with each other, so using "Save As" has the "potential" to break the tracking link that Lightroom has with the original file. The link will definitely break if you save to an alternative location, use a new name or extension, however, it should be maintained if the file is saved back to the same location using the same name and extension. By using the "Save" command you are guaranteeing no changes to these three parameters i.e. you're simply "replacing" the file that was exported from Lightroom with a newer version.
Bridge is not a factor in this process. Nevertheless, it might be worth noting that there is a small script loaded when you launch Bridge that enables it and Photoshop to communicate with each other. Until such times as Photoshop and Lightroom have similar abilities, which will not be for some time, we're stuck with the the current procedure.
Hope this helps.

ListIterator is sbuinterface of Iterator, why do I have to import both?

ListIterator is sbuinterface of Iterator, why do I have to import both?

"Import" simply tells the compiler what package a class or interface is in. It's possible for a class or interface in one package to extend something in a different package, in fact it happens quite often. For example, class org.me.visual.Finger might extend org.me.utils.BodyPart.
It doesn't seem obvious to me that if I tell the compiler that "Finger" means "org.me.visual.Finger", it would automatically conclude that "BodyPart" means "org.me.utils.BodyPart". Why should this happen? And in fact it doesn't happen, which seems quite reasonable to me.

Why do I have problem importing iTunes purchases to iMovie 6?

I am quite frustrated. Because of all the problems I was having with iMovie 4, I recently upgraded my system to OS Tiger 10.4, my iMovie to version 6 and all other iLife components to version 8 (my processor doesn't support iMovie 8).
Now I have a whole batch of new problems. Every time I try to import a song I purchased through iTunes into a movie, a dialgue box tells me my computer is not "authorized" to play that song and prompts me to authorize my computer. After going through the process of authorization I am told my computer is now authorized, but the same thing happens when I try to import music again. I've tried the authorization proccess many times now with no success, although iTunes tells me I have 2 computers authorized (where did it come up wioth a second computer?).
What is this "authorization" bull crap? I never had this problem with my old OS and iLife 4 components. Rather than getting easier to use, everything seems to be getting more difficult with upgrades.
At "wits" end,
Richard Witt

Why you still have to import to iPhoto even with iOS 5

Buyer beware!!!   Apple has been very misleading in portraying iCloud and Photostream and Online Backups and Wireless Sync!!!   Fact is, they don't handle videos! So that means that you still have to manually plug in your iDevice with the cable to your computer and manually import your videos into iPhoto. Else the videos will just stay in your device, and use up more and more memory until it fills up. Regardless if you've set up Photostream or Wireless Sync or whatever, fact is videos still have to be handled manually, like before.
I have five (5) iOS devices in my family (3 iphones + 2 ipads) and we all take lots of video of kids etc. SO this means that I have to manually go through and plug in all 5 devices on a weekly basis in order to upload the videos. WHAT A PAIN!!!   The whole reason I bought these idevices and upgraded to iOS 5 is because I thought that iCloud and Photostream and Online backups and wireless sync were going to solve my manual cable problem, but that is not the case.   Again, you have to manually import your videos into iPhoto, then select "DELETE FROM DEVICE" in order to delete them from your device and reclaim the memory (otherwise they stay in Camera Roll indefinitely). In fact, all the photos I take are remain in the Camera Roll as well, unless you tell iPhoto to delete the imported photos (and thus clear up your memory).
As you will all find out, soon your device will run out of memory because it is full of photos and videos that have not been deleted from the Camera Roll by iPhoto. Soon, you will run out of space in your iCloud online backups. And what is Apple's response to this??? You will get a pop-up message to purchase more online storage!! That is shameful! instead of fixing the problem, this is their sneaky way of fooling people into thinking they have to buy more online storage.
What a sham! In my opinion that is borderline fraudulent and false advertising.   Do others have the same gripe? If so, PLEASE submit your feedback to Apple so they can fix it asap! Spread the word on twitter and elsewhere, so people don't fall victim and waste their money on purchasing more unnecessary online storage.

We were having a similar discussion yesterday, with the main concern being the fact that you would get charged for data usage and not the cost for a regular text, which may be more expensive for those that have limited data usage. I know the argument would be that anyone owning an iPhone should have an unlimited or at least a 10-12 GB allowance as their data plan, but what about those with lower ones in some countries?
To address your issue, I think the problem is, iMessage requires you to be connected via 3G or WiFi for it to identify the other device is also an iPhone running iOS 5. Now, when you move out of an area that is covered by 3G or Wifi, it sends the message as a standard Text, hence the bill you mention.
Hope this helps.

Your iPhone can take multiple calls. If you answer your phone from one person or call someone and another call comes into you, you will hear a beep and if you pull your phone away from your ear, you will see that you can hang up the call with the 1st person or answer the 2nd call and then swap between the two.
I have no idea what you mean by you calling someone who is already talking to someone. I've never been able to see on my iPhone that someone I'm calling is already talking to someone else.

Why do I have to make disk image of AVCHD to import into iMovie?

iMovie imports AVCHD format file structure from the camera quite easily. (or so I hear, I have not done so myself yet). I have footage from the camera saved to an external hard disk which I want to import into iMovie08. I am a newbie to Apple/Mac things. From these fora I learned that I need to make a disk image of the AVCHD directory and mount it. I did that and it seems to work.
But this process is painful. For the 12Gig save I made on 27Jan08, the disk utility took forever to make a disk image. It failed once complaining lack of disk space. I thought the firewire external disk was overwhelmed by IO and copied the directory to the internal disk, and made a disk image. I thought it was hung after about 15 minutes killed the diskutility. I had a corrupted image file. Then left diskutility running overnight and seems to have finished the job. This morning iMovie looked at the disk image and is estimating it is going to take 3 hours to bring it in. May be it is transcoding to a more editable format like mpeg-4 or something.
Why do I have to jump through so many hoops to make iMovie recognize the AVCHD structure? Why can't I just drag a AVCHD directory into iMovie and make it read it? If I can reclaim the 24 gigs in the internal disk at the end of the process, I guess I can live with it. But, come on, copying 12 gigs over Firewire, another hour to make a disk image... I was expecting better user experience than this. (Did I mention I am newbie for Apple? Recent refugee from the vistaland)

I would not recommend waiting until you have 12GB of AVCHD (which might import as 120GB of AIC). You could lose it all if your camera is dropped. I suggest you get in the habit of importing from your camera on a regular basis.
I agree, it is not a good idea to accumulate so much footage in the camera. But these were downloaded from the camera way back before I even bought the iMac. At that time, the only device that can deliver 1920x1080 video to my shiny 50inch TV in the living room was the camcorder! (and the OTA antenna). So I kept the clips in the camcorder, even after taking regular backups to the hard disk. That way I can show the clips to friends and family in full HD glory!
BTW 12 Gig is just 2 hours in HD. It is not much. I dread bringing my second backup 4 hours of our trip to Anguilla, St Marten etc. We all know HD requires ooodles and oodles of data and storage. I am not really complaining about the disk usage. My most important beef was: iMovie imports AVCHD from the camera easily. But it is unable to start from a AVCHD folder in the internal hard disk and start reading it. I can burn a DVD-ROM with AVCHD directory in the root and it reads it. I can copy AVCHD folder to the root of a thumbdrive and it reads it.
But put the very same AVCHD deeply nested in the external drive it barfs.
I am going to experiment after going home. I will create a symbolic link to the AVCHD folder from the root of the external disk. Heck, I am root here, I can even do an ln -s /nested/directory/deep/in/the/external/drive/AVCHD /AVCHD
and see if I can fool iMovie to import the files without creating a diskimage. If someone who has immediate access to iMac would do the experiment it would be very helpful

Why do i have to click emails in, all mail, important, inbox, folders?

In my thunderbird account I have inbox, important, all mail, and several folders I have created. Why do I have to click on the same email in all folders? If I look at it in my inbox it should clear as read in all categories, but thunderbird makes me click on each folder and then find each email to stop it from showing as un-read.

I had looked at and thought to do that in the past, but the gmail tab is grey'ed and as such I didn't think I could do that. Your comments made me think it was possible and I needed to find the way and clicked on it. Then out pops the folders under gmail and click, click, click... and no more folders.
Thanks.

Why do I have "Unified Info" and plain "Info" categories in my iPhone Contacts?

I have an iPhone 3GS (iOS 5.0.1), an iMac (OS X v10.7.3) and an iCloud account. All are set to sync several things, but the topic of this inquiry is my Contacts. I've noticed that when I open any given Contact listing on my iPhone, each is headed by one of two lines: "Unified Info" or plain "Info." At the bottom of a "Unified Info" contact listing are two lines showing me "Linked Cards," one being for iCloud and the other for iPhone. On the one headed plain "Info" there are no Linked Cards showing at the bottom of the contact listing. As noted above, my system is set so that the Contacts in my iPhone, my iCloud account and my iMac (which is further set to keep both my and my wife's contacts sync'd, as well) all read the same. So why do I have these two "types" of entries on my iPhone? I should note that all the important information in all three places (iPhone, iMac and iCloud) - name, numbers, addresses, etc. - IS THE SAME, but why do they have diffefent headings on my iPhone!?! Any explanation from someone knowledgeable about this would be appreciated, and is there any way I can get - or should want to get - all the Contact entries on my iPhone to be "Unified Info" entries? Thanks, in advance, for any help you can offer.

I've got the same problem. Showed up after trying they 'sync google contacts' feature in Address Book/iTunes. Suddenly I have duplicates of all my Contacts. Address Book doesn't see any duplicates using the 'Find Duplicates...' feature. In Address Book I can only tell the difference between the duplicates by comparing the information in them. The new ones (presumably from Google) are missing fields like URL and birthday. On the iPhone, however, the names have these squares after them. These squares don't show up in Address Book (if they did it would make it much easier to delete them all).

Why do I have to conform?

I hope someone here can shed some light on my problem. I'm putting together an assemble edit for CG short that I'm help out on. We're in the process of locking each shot down to the exact frame count - which is where my problem comes in.
The animatics that i'm being given are at 60fps encoded in Cinepak. The final delivery of the project is going to be 720p at 30fps. Whilst we edit the shots I've been putting the 60fps animatics straight into a 30fps sequence and all was going swimmingly until we came to lock down the frame count for each shot.
When I import these animatics in my Bin in Final Cut Pro (I'm using 4.5), FCP seems to think these animatics are at 59.94fps. This is obviously an issue when doing a frame count.
I have one clip that is eactly 66 frames long (I've counted them in QuickTime just to check) but when I bring them on to a sequence at 60fps in FCP, I seem to loose 2 frames as it's only 64 frames long. I tried converting the movie to 30fps and putting it into a 30fps sequence, but when I import that movie FCP seems to think it's at 30.97fps and instead of it being 33 frames long it's 31 frames long.
The only way I can get FCP to recognise the animatic at a correct frame rate is to convert it to 30fps and then use Cinema Tools to conform the frame to 30fps. Then when I import it into my FCP project, it's correctly detected as 30fps and the frames are there.
If I overlay a conformed and unconformed version of this movie in FCP the action doesn't seem to move, I just loose the frames from the end of the shot.
So the questions I have are this...
Why do I have to conform a clip to 30fps when it already is at 30fps for FCP to correctly recognise it's frame rate when QuickTime and Compressor seem to recognise the unconformed version as 30fps just fine?
If I wanted to do a 60fps version how to I conform the framerate when Cinema Tools only can conform upto 30fps?
And finally, why can't FCP just recognise the framerate of a QuickTime movie?
I'm doing this all on a PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7Ghz with 2GB or RAM running Mac OS X 10.4.6.
thanks in advance

Hey David,
Thanks for your response, I know the workflow is a little unusual but so is the project.
The reason the animatics are at 60fps is that they are motion captured and that was done at 60fps as they will be later used in a video game. The CG short is essentially a movie using the game assets and as it's 720p, it's 30fps.
I would have probably gone for image sequences too, but I was working with different shots coming from multiple artists and they are using Maya on Windows which doesn't give you much choice output for the PlayBlasts (Animatics), it seem to like AVIs the best.
Being that there was multiple revisions of each shot a day, to keep the files manageable we choose to do the PlayBlasts as Cinepak AVIs.
The edit I was putting together was only ever going to be an assemble edit, so the final frame count for each shot could be determined and then the Maya scenes would be sent to a post house for rendering. The final short would be all the shots in order back to back.
Hopefully that explains the strange workflow, if you have any tips on improving it if I have to do it again - please let me know.
I guess the framerate quirks will really be one of those mysteries!

Can I import one chapter of a dvd of old family movies to edit or do I have to import the entire dvd first?

I had an old family film converted toa dvd.
I would now like to use one chapter in a project I'm working on. Can I just import the chapter I want or do I have to import the entire dvd first and then edit. It takes so long to do?

Hi
Most probably not - not at all. I assume that Your DVD plays on any regular DVD-Player and if so the material on it is in a sort of .mpeg2 code and neither iMovie or iDVD can open this so to do what You want it needs to be converted into a codec they can open.
There are no standard way to do this on a native Mac (Yes one might ask why - indeed) so there are ways around this.
I prefer these of two methods
• connect a DVD-player to a miniDV Camera and copy to tape and use this
• or - Roxio Toast™ that can open the DVD and back engineer it into streamingDV that both iMovie and iDVD can use.
Best result is if You go directly to iDVD without any editing. But if material needs to be edited using iMovie HD6 or any version of FinalCut will keep quality as high as possibly. Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 will result in a quality loss depending on that they can not deliver interlaced video over to iDVD - so they lose every second line in the picture - less sharp result.
or read my list on
DVD back for future editing
A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a tray-loaded DVD burner/reader
B. iMovie’08 prob. 09 can import from DVD (homemade without copy-protection)
C. I prefer one of these two ways
• Copy to miniDV tape from set-top DVD-player --> Camera -or-
• Roxio Toast™ - Can back convert to streamingDV for iMovie or FinalCut
D. Read what Karsten collected.
DVD back to iMovie.

DVDs are in a so-called delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and
made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member
QuicktimeKirk stated. [i] I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
"instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
show it off.[/i] ..
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert-'em first, in
recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds.
• DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro. 90$)
• Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
• Cinematize >60$
• Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
• Toast 6/7/8/9/10 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
• connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
• Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
• Use iSquint for your conversions . www.iSquint.org

I am not sure what you mean by this.
is it ok to delete outlook ID's copy/backup as running out of space?
If you mean you have several identities in the Office Identities folder then yes. You can delete whatever you don need\want except for your current.
Are you updated to the latest version of Office?
After the restore, navigate to ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/your identity and delete the file called Database. Then rebuild.

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.
