iPhoto disaster
Dear WAMUG, Just hit a problem with iPhoto. I ran it and imported from my camera, with delete after import checked. I went away and came back, it appeared to have done the importing and said the camera had no photos. I was a bit shocked when the import only showed the three oldest of the 22, and Last Import showed the same. I closed it and reopened - and even these photos had disappeared off iPhoto. I found that the disc was pretty full and got an error to that effect when I tried to boot Preview as well. So I have now freed up half a gig and re-run iPhoto - still missing those imports. Searched using finder - managed to find the three which did show up initially on iPhoto, dragged them in and all's well there. I'm a bit shocked at this point and desperately want to retrieve the other pictures if they exist. Any hints as to where I could look? Any way of revealing hidden files on the memory card? Would iPhoto really have deleted them off the camera if it had run out of disc space, before writing to disc? Thanks for any advice. Panicking, David
Re: iPhoto disaster
David It's amazing what turns up in the post around Christmas! Big W catalogue arrived this morning with a 'photo services' type page included (loose extra page). Ricoh Retrieve a Pic. The simple pre-paid image retrieval service. Ricoh uses targeted hardware and software solutions to retrieve incorrectly formatted, accidentally deleted or 'just plain lost' images from your memory card. Retrieved images are saved to CD and returned to you with your (in most cases) rejuvenated memory card. See in-store for details. Conditions apply. $79.94 everyday low price. Section includes outline drawings of smart media, secure digital, xD picture card, compact flash and memory stick. Also on this list there has been the following message: - Hi everyone, Thank you Garry, we down loaded photorescue immediately. A friend of mine had this happen here in Perth just last week. 230 professional portraits loading and iPhoto crashed (possibly over full HD or a dodgy memory card?). Big panic. Urgent phone calls. Do we force quit or what? We searched the HD with the finder and luckily they were there. Whew! An anxious night while we checked and then the usual tut tut, you should always back up lecture. But I'll bet it happens again, as everyone in the studio is usually in rush mode. Regards Greg Manzie Director Glyde Gallery Conservation Fine Art Conservators and Museum Consultants photorescue can be found via: - http://www.versiontracker.com/php/search.php?mode=basicaction=searchstr=photorescueplt%5B%5D=macosxx=15y=7 copy paste the url into one string if it gets split into two. I've not tried these so cannot comment on their effectiveness or application to your situation. Hope this helps Paul van der Mey David de la Hunty wrote: Dear WAMUG, Just hit a problem with iPhoto.

Monitor for Powerbook -- advice wanted
Hello All -- -- My son Miles has a G4 Powerbook with a 12-inch screen, and wants to get an additional monitor (17-inch plus) for detailed graphic work (he is a graphic artist), at a reasonable price. Any advice or offers, please, on what he should do? -- He has looked at a new 17-inch Samsung for $215, but can also consider a second-hand screen, don't know if he could get a flat screen within his price range.

Are there any issues with where a second monitor is plugged in? TIA. Most new CRT monitors with the exception of a few Pro models are very dodgy, I would suggest to take your powerbook and adaptor with you while shopping and inspect whilst in the shop before handing over the hard earned. Check if colorsync has pre built profiles for said monitor as this will aleviate a lot of guess work. The secondhand market place you should be able to track down some really good quality Pro monitors which may or may not need servicing? (re-calibrating and tweaking) Saying that I managed to track down a Viewsonic 17 model number 17FDB ? from Discount Computers at Ross's in Maylands for $175 very acceptable for graphic or video work screen a bit small in some instances, but good quality image with colorsync profile.

Re: Monitor for Powerbook -- advice wanted
I would agree with the others on both LCD being nto good on the cheap side (apple ones i've been quite impressive with colour wise- and i'm sure other third party high end lcd's are similar) Does he want to be able to move around the monitor as well as the laptop? If he wants something mobile then that may limit the range to LCD's and 17 CRT monitors. If he doesn't want to move then do look out for the quokka specials as Mark said. I got some IBM 21 monitors for $350 each for graphics work and they are actually beating the G520 i purchsed new for $2000. I cant' comment on the new CRT qualities though as i haven't looked into them at all. I would say and new monitor will be fine for a while. They may die a bit quicker but second hand better monitors have already lost some of their life span. Wez

help re burning DVD
Hi folks, Something went wrong with my DVD .. 1] running DV iMac 400 G3 10.2.8 2] I edited 3 hours of video footage down to 40 minutes using Final Cut Express then saved it back out to DV. Attached camera to tv and it ran fine. 3] Bought a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-108 dual layer burner 4] Using toast 6 plug and burn First off the encoding took about 56 hours which just about drove me nuts then the actual burning of the 40min 57sec movie took 38 minutes. I put it in the DVD player on the mac feeling 'yah clever me' and agh! it started playing ok, about 30 seconds then it jerked to a halt and said there was an error or maybe damaged/scratched. Maybe the player needs cleaning so i then put the disc in the Pioneer burner and it played ok not as good as the tv resolution but it was ok and since I needed 15 copies for a group of kids I started burning those. I couldn't do a copy disc because it wouldn't play on the internal drive so each was taking the 38 minutes to burn. About half way done I asked hubby to check it out on the DVD player and tv because I was having a meeting and needed to show it. DISASTER.. it plays ok and as long as the action is minimal all is ok but as soon as people start moving around on the footage it jumps around all over the place. I remember when it was copying onto toast that the sound track seemed to be running behind the action though that does not seem to be the case on the burned copy soundtrack is fine just the visual that is all jerky. Any ideas anyone.. is my iMac not good enough or anything I should have done I didn't etc Thanks in advance Yvonne

The G3 iMac will take ages as it doesn't have Altivec (part of G4's and G5 processors that makes image processing and other operations much faster). What sort of DVD discs were you using? DVD-R? Dual layer disks probably won't play on household DVD players.

CMYK in Ragtime
The default setting for the color space in Ragtime is RGB. For printing purposes I would like the space to be CMYK. I have looked at the Color Editor and although it has a toggle to choose CMYK I can not get it to occur. That is, when I return to my photo and choose Get Info the dialogue box shows RGB. What am I not doing? Is Ragtime Solo lacking this facility? Help appreciated. Merv -- Science teaches that we must see in order to believe, but we must also believe in order to see.
Re: Recording speech on a Mac
Thank you Michael, Clare and Reg for you help on this topic. To the list I can now also add Ragtime Solo - a serendipitous discovery.
