Young CC user looking for a little help

Hi. I am a student user of many of Adobe's products, and I recently began using the Creative Cloud service, which is currently £15 a month here in Britain but will be hiked to £22.50 a month next year. Since I don't really work much yet (I do a few design/film jobs here and there), the whole thing feels a bit expensive. I do graphic design, photography, film-making and a little bit of web design, which is obviously a lot! Moreover, I am really frustrated with the recent hacks, and as a result I have been consolidating my future with the software. Since the web side of Adobe is neither too unique nor essential, I do not feel so bad losing them. However, programs like Photoshop and After Effects are really irreplaceable, so I am considering purchasing the Production Premium CS6 package for Mac on a student discount, which is around £470 on the Adobe website as an alternative to continuing next year with CC. I own a Mac and a Windows-based laptop, and obviously CC suits this better. All in all, this is a bit of a dilemma, and I'm struggling to come up with a resolution. Does anyone know somewhere I can get the Production Premium cheaper, will I still be able to buy CS6 in June when my year's worth of promotional CC runs out, could I face compatibility issues and, of course, does anyone have any suggestions? All help would be greatly appreciated- thank you!

SQL novice looking for a little help

A little SQL help asked for…because my solution works but runs like a pig.
I have two tables with a link many-many association table between them with two FK's defined on the PK's in the tables either side of the join.
CREATE TABLE TABLE1
ID VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) NOT NULL
, NAME VARCHAR2(20 BYTE)
, AGE NUMBER
, ADDR1 VARCHAR2(20 BYTE)
, CONSTRAINT TABLE1_PK PRIMARY KEY
ID
ENABLE
CREATE TABLE TABLE2

CREATE TABLE LINK_TABLE

Populated with the simple data set below that also establishes the many to many links between table1 and table2.
Insert into TABLE1 (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDR1) values ('a','jake',23,'london');

Insert into LINK_TABLE (ID,ID2) values ('a','s');
Insert into LINK_TABLE (ID,ID2) values ('a','v');
And thus when queried using the join, gives me this data.
select t1.*, t2.* from table1 t1, link_table lt, table2 t2
where lt.id = t1.id
and t2.id2 = lt.id2;
ID NAME AGE ADDR1 ID2 TYPE DATE_CREATED
a jake 23 london f type2 16-MAR-12
a jake 23 london n type2 04-MAR-12
a jake 23 london s type4 04-MAR-12
a jake 23 london v type2 23-APR-12
a jake 23 london x type1 09-MAR-12
a jake 23 london z type1 10-MAR-12
b jenny 55 lakeside v type2 23-APR-12
b jenny 55 lakeside w type3 05-APR-12
b jenny 55 lakeside x type1 09-MAR-12
c jemima 21 lothian k type3 30-MAR-12
c jemima 21 lothian s type4 04-MAR-12
d jimmy 26 lamelane d type1 03-MAR-12
d jimmy 26 lamelane d type1 03-MAR-13
12 rows selected
However, what I need is
for every unique ID in table1, I need the maximum date for in table2 but given that there needs to be a precedence on types in a predefined order, that order being
type4 trumps type2 which trumps type3 which trumps type1.
therefore the query I'm looking for will return the type, type4 and it's max date even if other types exist. If no type4's exist for a link from table1.id in table2 then return type2 and it's max date and so forth.
essentially my query should return
ID     TYPE     MAX_DATE_CREATED
a     type4     04-MAR-12
b     type2     23-APR-12 (since it has no type4 and type2 trumps the other)
c     type4     04-MAR-12
d     type1     03-MAR-13 (the highest precedence is type1 and it's highest date is 03-MAR-13)
Hmmm
I have achieved this using some odd SQL where I use CASE to score the type against the precedence and then sum the total in an aggregate super query but as I say, it runs like a pig, my real dataset is much bigger than this. Hope there's a nice chap/lady out there who rises to this challenge.
TIA
Jenny.

Hi, Jenny,
Welcome to the forum!
Here's one way:
WITH   got_r_num   AS
     SELECT t1.*
     ,      t2.*
     ,      ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY t1.id
                                    ORDER BY        CASE    t2.type
                                          WHEN 'type4' THEN 1
                                          WHEN 'type2' THEN 2
                                          WHEN 'type3' THEN 3
                                          WHEN 'type1' THEN 4
                                      END
                        ,            t2.date_created     DESC
                      )      AS r_num
     FROM   table1          t1
     ,      link_table      lt
     ,      table2          t2
     WHERE lt.id      = t1.id
     AND    t2.id2      = lt.id2
SELECT     *     -- or whatever columns you want
FROM     got_r_num
WHERE     r_num     = 1
;This is an example of a Top-N Query , where we pick N items (N=1 in this case) from the top of an ordered list (or lists; in this case, we need a separate list for each id.) The analytic ROW_NUMBER function can assign numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., in order, with a separate set of numbers for each id. The tricky part in this problem is getting your trumping order. I used a CASE expresion to map each of the types to a number that reflected the order.
Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; that's very helpful!
Would you like to be even more helpful? Post your best attempt at a query. Even if it performs really poorly, it can help illustrate what you need to do, and maybe give ideas about how to do it. It could be that a small change in what you already have is all that's needed.
The query above will work in Oracle 9.1 or higher. It never hurts to say which version of Oracle you have.

when double clicking on the image it says unable to open and gives me the option to search the app store.
any help would be much appreciated

Well, first, just make sure it's the Mac version and not the Windows version (which indeed would not run on your Mac). You say "Windows Office" which is why I mention it. I think you probably just mean "Microsoft Office" though.
Next, is this on a disk (DVD), or did you purchase and download it from the Microsoft site?

Looking for friends to help me get over a breakup

PSN MAGIIK-STICKZ Hello All, This is very embarrassing and quite silly that I have to do this really. It's scary that I have to turn to the Internet to look for friends to help me in this time of need. In the beginning of the month my girl friend left me, we was together for 4 years, we had our ups and downs but we always remained strong. She told me she wanted to be with me forever and I wanted the same. I've only just turned 19 so this was my first relationship. Don't want to get into too much details why she left me, but I will tell you that she has already moved on after only leaving me for a month. The pain hurts so much and I'm trying to move on because I can't... Because I have no friends... I mean I have friends but they're definitely not the ones you can count on in this situation. They're more "Gym Bros" I believe if I can find people to group with, play games with, literally just talk to that would be amazing for me. I just needs things to take my mind off of her and I believe talking to new people will do that. We don't even have to play games, I'm very open to you just in-boxing me on PlayStation to socialize. I'm opened to both males and females but if there are any females you would be helping a lot! I cut off all female ties for her for 4 years and now I have no female acquaintances so It would be nice to get experience talking to other females again just to boost my confidence back. I understand what I am asking for might sound like a lot, and I definitely understand how needy I sound, but this was my last resort of trying to get over her as quickly as I can. I've been in a really really REALLY Dark Place for the past month and I can't take it anymore. My psn/PS4 is MAGIIK-STICKZ Inbox me and I will be forever grateful !

New Mac user looking for help with Finder, Preview, Keyboard, & Dock

So about a month ago I switched over from a lifelong Windows user to a brand new MacBook Pro, and while I am adjusting pretty well, there are still some things that I haven't quite figured out.
First up on the list is Finder! I like my files to be arranged just like how they are in Windows Explorer--folders first alphabetically, then files alphabetically. I've managed to acquire this setting by messing around with the "clean up by" and "arrange by" functions but I don't really know the specific combination. Most of the time these preferences are saved and set as the defaults under "View Options" but every once in a while it resets and I have to tinker around with the settings all over again. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? It's only happened twice so far, but I'd rather not have it happen again. Also, occasionally when I delete an item, there is a blank space left where the icon was instead of all the files following it bumping up a space. Any quick fixes for this bug?
Next up is Preview. Again, I like the Windows Way and I like to be able to browse between the files in a folder while using Preview/Windows Photo Viewer. I know that there is a way to browse between files if you select the whole folder and stick it in Preview, but is there a way to achieve the same result without having to do that? An app or "extension" of some sort that adds arrows in to browse between photos? I've had no luck finding anything other than the aforementioned option. Is there a good free alternative to Preview that will function similarly with the browse between photos option?
One of my favorite things about my new Mac is the backlit keyboard function. My old laptop didn't have it and as someone who is online more often at night it is super helpful. But is there a way to turn it off during the day/in bright settings? A way to put it on a timer? In System Preferences I selected the option "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light", which I assumed to mean would have the keyboard NOT very bright when there IS light, but it continues to light up just the same. Any apps or extensions to help with this one?
And finally, the dock! This question is more about aesthetics than functionality but help is appreciated all the same. Currently, my dock looks like this: http://i42.tinypic.com/35ktxlz.png It is rather opaque and the indicator lights can barely be seen. However, in a lot of tutorial videos I've been watching, many people have docks that look like this: http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/07/19/Lion_LaunchPad.png It is a darker shade of gray, the divider is dashed rather than a straight line, and the indicator lights are clearly visible. Does anybody know how to get this look for the dock? I've looked in the dock preferences but there's not really anything in there other than magnification/size/effects.
That about sums things up! I'm sorry if any of these seem like "silly" questions but they are all things I have been unable to find answers for. Any and all tips, tricks, and help is appreciated! Thanks in advance for all your help!!

congratulations on coming over from the dark side.
Seems like you are interested in column view, which would show you the hierarchy of folders and files: Column View in Mac OS X Mountain Lion - For Dummies Not sure what's going on if your finder settings don't stay put. May be a corrupted preferences file, which is easy to fix, but is perhaps a topic for another discussion.
What I'd suggest is to have an open mind and try to see what the mac can do, rather than force it to look like your windows machine. I mean, if you just want it to look like windows, then why bother switching? If you give it a little time, you'll start to appreciate the mac way of doing things, and see how it is infinitely more awesome, powerful, creative, intuitive, and better designed (and the software way better written) than what you left behind. But that's your call.
There are some threads on this forum with complaints about the backlight. Keyboard backlight settings query...: Apple Support Communities Evidently it depends on the angle of the screen and the light sensor relative to the light. Some suggest that a SMC reset may help: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) This is not an issue for me, I just adjust the brightness with the keyboard buttons if I want. Real men shift their own gears, drink their coffee black, and adjust their own keyboard brightness. I am not aware of any software to exert more control over this feature but a search of macupdate Download Apple Mac Software & iPhone Software : MacUpdate may help. I mean, it's up to you what is important. I can waste a lot of time playing around with the GUI and with unnecessary software, or I can just get my work (and play) done.
You might prefer the no-glass dock, that removes the shelf, and makes the indicator lights like more discrete orbs. You can do this with the terminal. Using the terminal is also, perhaps, a topic for another discussion.I like the 2D dock much better. If you want I'll give you some directions for how to do it. Otherwise, here's a reference: 2D Dock - MacRumors Forums

Looking for trouble shooting help -Connections being dropped from app.

I need a little help in hunting down the source of a problem. We have Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.1) running on Solaris 10. The web application is based on WEBLOGIC on another server also running Solaris 10 with a new firewall in between. When started, the application will get 176 connections to the database. Over time, still working on how long, the connections get dropped. The profile they app is connecting to is for unlimited connections and connection time. I do not have an setting to disconnect after idle for x minutes. Even the listener spawned processes die. Other applications from other machines also have problems if idle for a period of time, SQLDeveloper, SQLPlus, TOAD, SQLNAVIGATOR.
We are trying to hunt down the source of the problem but are at a loss. I have checked and verified that the oracle instance does not have a parameter set to kill idle connections for the users the apps are connecting as. The sys admin says there are no unix parameters he knows about on either solaris box that is killing connections and that the firewall settings should not be killing them.
A duplicate environment running all the same versions of software work fine, the only differences between the two is the box and operating system, Sun V120 w/Solaris 8 vs. Sun V40Z w/Solaris 10.
This system goes live in two weeks so we are trying to get this figured out soon. Any hints on where to look or has any one else had similar problems?
thanks

New Ipad User looking for some good CRM suggestions for small business

Hello All,
I am a new (and satisfied) Apple Ipad2 user. I am the sales rep for a small business that is in the health care field. I am looking for a good CRM program for the following reasons and I am wanting to know if there is a particular program that can provide any of these things for me:
Ability to put in all of my customers information. Seperate folders for each.
Ability to add information to customer folders/files based on recent phoen conversations or actual on-site visits.
Ability to set a reminder of when to call back on that customer to see status of his/her patient that was fit with our product.
Ability to allow other members of the company to check in on this information as well.
A little background, we are a small company in the health care field. We have 90 customers currently and we are growing at a steady pace. I would like for my upper management to look at the CRM at any point and see what is going on with each customer. If I sell a product to Customer A, then I would like a reminder to pop up 6 months from now when that patient will be ready for another product. I would also like to be able to update a customer file so that management can see when I called on a customer, etc.
I appreciate everyone's input as I have never utilized a CRM program. I am currently using Dropbox for all of this right now, but it seems like a CRM would be more organized,
Thank you,
--Ryan

HI Ryan,
Did you find an app for CRM, one thing that I'm also curious about, you may need to find one that is HIPPA compliant.

Looking for a little more info on Playstation 3 on Apple 20" display

Sorry to ask for more info on this. I did find some other threads, but looking for a bit more direction.
First, let me say I have a bunch of old tube TV's and am looking to purchase a Playstation 3. Using Playstation 3 on a tube TV seems kind of stupid, especially when I have a great LCD monitor sitting right on my desktop.
I looked at solution from Elgato. However they said they are not making any more units and when it sells out it is gone. So I am a little weary of purchasing something that may no longer be supported. Their solution does provide video capture and DVR capabilities as well, which I could also use.
Other then that, I am wondering if there are any other solutions that people could recommend. I do plan on buying a LCD or Plasma TV in the near future, but until then, I would like to purchase a Playstation 3. Just looking for any advice of any kind from others. Thanks.

I have the same 20 inch Apple Display. If you have the newer DVI right?
if so HDMI to DVI will not work well EyeTV from Elgato is still in the Mac store near me I have the 200 FireWire you want the 250 USB2 to do live. I have had the 200 FW for three years it is great.
Having said that I did buy The Mitsubishi LCD LT-46231 : 46"
1080p LCD Flat Panel HDTV ($4,600)
I love it for computer use it was made for it. The HDTV is so good with cable and better with Blue-Ray which your PS3 has!
http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/j/i/18326/TelevisionDetails/LT46231.html?cid=377
I would if you don't want to spend allot on a 1080p LCD (being more then 2k) The Mitsubishi LT-37131 LCD Flat Panel HDTV ($1,699) . Sony & Samsung both are the same LCD. Mitsubishi is better then Samsung/Sony allot better when used with a computer (it is the only new LCD maker that has a VGA & DVI port just for Computers)
Both of the Mitsubishi Link's you will like as one is a money saver.
http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/j/i/18326/LT37131.html?cid=390
http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/j/i/18310/Promotions.html

Powerbook Titanium user looking for advice on MacBook Pro

Hello, all,
After almost 10 years of faithful service, I'm afraid that my 15" TiBook is showing signs of age and may soon need replacing. For financial reasons, I can't spring for a brand-new, top-of-the-line MBP, and I was wondering if you had any advice about what I should look for in a reconditioned model from the AppleStore. Aside from basic functions like emails and web, I'd be using it primarily for the Adobe Creative Suite (no animation or any really heavy stuff) and for watching DVDs when away from home. How do you feel about the glossy screens, for example? On the French AppleStore, there are a couple of MBPs from early 2011, but I'd seen that there were concerns with the temperature/fan noises… I realize that almost anything I may buy now will be light years faster and more powerful than the 667 Mhz that I have now, but I'd like for the replacement machine to be as impervious to ageing as the PB has been.
Any and all advice would be most welcome.
Thanks for reading.

My suggestion since you prefer to maximize your computers lifespan is to get either the new:
1: High res, anti-glare 15" 2.2 Ghz or above
2: High res, anti-glare 17" 2.2 Ghz or above.
(The 13" MacBook Pro is integrated graphics, the 15" 2.0 has a dedicated graphics card that is as weak as the integrated graphics. Both are very poor choices for the long term.)
The two models I've mentioned have the top of the line i7 Quad cores that simply blow the dual cores away in every way possible. The 1GB Radeon 6750M GPU is a monster video card that will satisfy ANY need you have for a long time.
If your trying to save money and going for a used dual core i5, your doing yourself a great disservice because those machines are soon destined for the scrap heap.
I opted for the anti-glare because with a laptop it's a necessity unless you live in a basement or a cave.
The glossy forces you to seek dark locations to see the screen because it reflects dam near everything, even your face.
Some people say to get a aftermarket anti-glare film, but those are expensive, they dry out, peal and bubble, not very nice looking and need occassional replacement.
You will not give a flying ratts *ss four days later if you don't have a snazzy black bezel, your going to want to use the machine as intended in nearly any location. The matching case bezel is just wonderful and the new anti-glare (not ugly matte like before) screen is of a higher quality, looks fantastic being able to see every inch of the screen all the time.
You can do a Google image search for "Mac glossy anti-glare" and get hundreds of pictures for your decision making process.
The new machines are easily opened up to add more RAM or switch out the hard drive with a 00 micro-phillips screwdriver and a plastic compartmentalized holder to place the screws in order so the right ones go into the right holes. Won't void your warranty as long as you don't do any damage. Don't strip the screws.
Do get AppleCare and a good case, even a MacTruck.
Use the keyboard and trackpad as little as possible, use a wired or wireless instead to keep the wear off the machine.
Keep the keyboard area covered and away from food/liquids, it gets behind the keys easily and will fry it.
If you use the keyboard and trackpad, take off any jewelry and use a pad protector as you'll wear the case and 3 years from now it will look ugly as sin.
Snow Leopard is a great OS, Apple plans on major changes in the next one to make OS X look like a iPad, you might not like it. The grumbling has already started.
So get a Snow Leopard machine now with the iLife on the installer disks while you have a chance, a few weeks from now you might not have that option as all new machines will be forced into Lion.

jaimeleighann, that MSCONFIG screen is saying that you've got a Qoologic adware infection, just like i've been saying (in all your other threads where i've tried replying to you).
try replying to answers to your previous posts rather than spraying new threads all over the show. your current posting technique is obviously not helping you resolve this.

Task Privileges for Existing Users - Looking for a global update solution

After some reading I understand that if you set the task privileges for the PUBLIC user in the Privileges section of Discoverer Administrator (10g), any new user created in the system will pick up the privileges you have assigned to the PUBLIC user.
I currently have 4000+ users who have access to Discoverer Plus and the ability to create/edit queries. I want to limit who can access Discoverer Plus functionality to approximately 150 users.
I have changed my PUBLIC user to NOT have privileges but this will only affect new users. Is there any way to restrict 4000+ users without having to go through each user individually and set the privileges.
I am looking for a global update solution. I am wondering if this can be done through the back-end.

Hi Mezzobella
If you change the rights for the public user then other users, who have not been manually adjusted in any way, will automatically pick up the public rights. Therefore, if you have a lot of users that are not changing this means that at some point in their life you will have clicked OK or Apply on the screen with a user displayed. This now assigns the rights to that user as opposed to inheriting them from the public user.
What you are describing is the perfect reason why you should not administer Discoverer using user accounts but to use roles or responsibilities instead.
In your case you are now somewhat stuck. The programatic way to revoke these rights is to drop rows from the EUL5_ACCESS_PRIVS table but this could take longer than doing inside Discoverer. Basically, when a user has been granted privileges one row per privilege is inserted into this table. The column AP_EU_ID contains the ID of the user. The column GP_APP_ID is the one that tells you what privilege a user has. Here is a list of the privileges:
1000 Desktop / Plus Privilege (U)
1001 Create / Edit Query (U)
1002 Item Drill (U)
1003 Drill Out (U)
1004 Grant Workbook (aka Sharing) (U)
1005 Collect Query Statistics (U)
1006 Admin Privilege (A)
1007 Set Privilege (A)
1008 Create / Edit Business Area (A)
1009 Format Business Area (A)
1010 Create / Edit Summaries (A)
1011 Not used as far as can be determined
1012 Schedule (U)
1013 User is never required to schedule workbooks (U)
1014 Save workbooks to database (U)
1015 Managed scheduled workbooks (A)
1016 This is an apps mode EUL
1017 This is the user's assigned language
1018 User is allowed to change password
1019 to 1023 Not used as far as can be determined
1024 Create Link (U)
Note: A = Admin privilege, U = User privilege
Theoretically you could manually delete rows from this table and that will revoke the rights. In reality, Oracle do not like it when inexperienced users manually the EUL as you could corrupt it. Therefore, any manual updates must be done with utmost caution after making sure you back up or have a copy of the table you will be updating - just in case.
Try running this query to see the content:
SELECT DECODE( AP_EU_ID, 104198, 'Viewer', 103697, 'Plus', 'Other' ) "Who" , AP_ID, AP_TYPE, AP_EU_ID, AP_PRIV_LEVEL, GP_APP_ID, GBA_BA_ID, GD_DOC_ID, AP_ELEMENT_STATE
FROM EUL5_ACCESS_PRIVS

Desperate for a little help with VMware Fusion tools

I tried the Fusion discussions group on this question but got nothing, so please don't tell me to try there; I already have.
I am using VMare Fusion 2.0.6 on my MacBook running 10.6.4; Windows OS is XP Home edition, SP3
I find more and more applications that previously did not work well in OSX are now running nicely on my MacBook (i.e., various applications from Garmin) and that I rarely boot up in Windows.
However, not long ago I did boot up in Windows and saw the alert, “VMware tools is out of date. Choose the virtual Machine > Install VMwre Toold Menu.” I did so and it failed, miserably. I lost tools completely, everything was a bloody mess.
I looked for help/a solution on the VMware site, found it, but it was beyond my capability. I simply could not figure out how to do what it was directing me to do.
I moved my Virtual Machine folder from a backup of my MacBook back to the MacBook; I am back to a point where all is well but I am also, naturally, getting the “VMware tools is out of date. Choose the virtual Machine . Install VMwre Toold Menu.”
When I choose "Virtual Machine . Install VMwre Toold Menu", I get this alert: You cannot install the VMware Tools package until the guest operating system is running. If your guest operating system is not running, choose cancel and install the VMware Tools Package later.
Isn't the "guest operating system" OSX on my MacBook? Well of course it's running; how the heck could you be running Fusion if OSX isn't running? There must be something here I just don't understand.
Does some kind soul have the time and patience to explain to me what I am obviously missing here so I can get on with it and update VMware Tools?
Many, many thanks if someone can

OK, here's the rest of the story.
I followed the above instructions, sort of...
Removed Tools as directed.
A restart was required to finish the removal.
Restarted, went to Virtual Machine > Install VMware Tools package and got the, for me, dreaded - Warning, you cannot install the VMware Tools package unless the guest operating system is running, etc., so I clicked on Cancel.
I also got the Found New Hardware Wizard, which I cancelled out of.
I went to Virtual Machine > CD/DVD > Choose a disk image and navigated to "/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/isoimages/windows.iso" as I was directed, clicked on Open, and nothing happened.
In Windows, I then went to the CD/DVD drive, to run the setup.exe manually.
Among the choices there I found both VMware Tools and VMware Tools 64 and forgot I was told to run setup.exe. I asked again and was told to run VMware Tools. I did so and that fixed it.
Later, I was told that I should have chosen setup.exe NOT the VMware Tools.msi, but that since setup.exe calls the VMware Tools.msi it's probably a moot issue as long as I received a message that VMware Tools were successfully installed.
So, I guess the correct thing would have been to run setup.exe, but running VMware Tools also did the trick.
Hope this helps someone else out if they stumble across it.

Deleted Microsoft User Data for Entourage- please HELP!!

I believe I deleted my Microsoft User Data for Entourage. Is there a way for me to get it back? I thought I backed it all up to my MYBOOK, external hard drive, but apparently It only accepted some of the items in the folder! (and not the User Data one!)
Any way to reverse this or find it after the trash was emptied??
It has ALL of my emails, contacts, saved emails, etc
PLEASE HELP
I will be forever grateful!

Basics of File Recovery
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When you delete files you erase only the directory entries, not the files themselves. However, the space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

IPhoto user looking for a bit more editing ability

I love iPhoto but I wish I could extract parts of pictures to go on other pics. Then I use a cloning tool to fix. I can't stand Adobe Elements is their any other program out their that people are using for this kind of editing. Aperture?

matbran
I don't think that Aperture is what you're looking for. Try Graphic Convertor

or try searching on http://www.macupdate.com using 'image editor'.
