    Is your iPhoto Library Library on your system drive in the pictures folder? And you have a lot of free space on your system drive? The migration will need additional temporary storage.

    Then drag the iPhoto library icon pictures open to create a new library of Photos of her.

    Your albums appear unchanged in the Photos.  Events will appear as additional albums, because the pictures has no events.  See this link: How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

  • How can I switch from OSX Lion 10.7.5 to El Capitan on my end 2011 MacBook Pro?

    How to move from OS X Lion 10.7.5 to El Capitan on my end 2011 MacBook Pro? I get an error 'install the distribution of the error signed by apple. I'm sure I need first to switch to something else, but I have no idea where to start.

    1. check all your applications to ensure compatibility with ElCapitan.

    When those you want to keep (as possible) have a compatible update: you can update after installation.

    2 ElCapitan performs better with more than 4 GB of Ram, although in very low load systems, it runs on 2 GB.

    3. your hard drive doesn't have to be "nearly complete."

    4. go in the Appstore and download ElCapitan (the download comes in your Applications folder)

    The installer is removed after installation, so if you like to keep a copy before starting the installation.

    5. install all applications updated.

    How to remove my password to start using IMac OSX EL Capitan 10.11.2 connection

    Did you forgot the password?

    Or do you just want the mac connect to your account automatically, without you have to enter the password.

    I'm assuming the latter. If I'm wrong, let me know - there are also solutions for this.

    Log in normally and Access Preferences system-> users and groups. Click on the Options of connection at the bottom left. You may need to click the lock and enter your password to make changes. Change 'AutoConnect' from 'Off' to your account.

    I think that you have answered the question yourself because you've posted all the startup options that are available and there is no option to boot USB on this laptop.

  • How to boot from a USB - Portege R500 flash drive

    Hello

    I have a Portege R500 running Windows XP, presented about 2 years ago and recently contracted a virus that has infected some of the startup files as the minute I connect it disconnects again, even in SafeMode! The quickest way I can think sorting is to reformat with the XP Recovery disk and reinstall windows.

    Problem! The CD/DVD drive on the computer laptop stopped working earlier, tried almost everything in the thread on this site, but had no luck.

    So my plan was to boot from a USB flash drive and do it this way. However in the boot parameters I only have the options of HARD drive / floppy drive / CD-ROM / LAN, none of them work. Does anyone know how to boot from USB flash drives?

    Any help would be really appreciated

    Hello

    As far as I know, it should be possible to boot from USB FDD

    I don't know if you would be able to boot from a USB flash drive, but it of certainly worth a try m

    Generally, you can try to press the F12 key when the laptop is turned on.
    A start menu should appear on the screen, then you should see all bootable devices.

    PS: as far as I know the USB startup was available in ToshibaHWSetup (tool of Toshiba which changes the settings of the BIOS under windows OS.) So I guess boot from USB must be possible.

  • How to inherit from Actor.lvclass?

    Hi all

    I'm playing with the framework of the actor. After reviewing the sample cooler evaporative project, I want to make an absolute minimum example from scratch. I want to open a blank project, manually add a few classes, make them inherit from Actor.lvclass so on (for example not start since the draft framework for actor model).

    The first problem I encountered (and not yet resolved) is How to inherit from the Actor.lvclass?.

    Time evaporation cooler project (ECEP) example and the project of the actor model framework (AFPT) have some classes already inheriting from Actor.lvclass new classes will have this option of legacy. ECEP and AFPT have also vi.lib-> Framework.lvlib actor in their dependencies.

    But how actor Framework.lvlib in my dependencies? I can't just drag C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\vi.lib\ActorFramework\Actor Framework.lvlib with dependencies in my Project Explorer.

    However, I can drag C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\vi.lib\ActorFramework\Actor Framework.lvlib in my Project Explorer (like adding a VI to the project). This gives me the ability to inherit from Actor.lvclass and if I remove actor Framework.lvlib in my project again (after a class inherit) it will be listed under dependencies. But I hope that there is a way to better / cleaner to him.

    I wish it works when I move the project to another computer with a different labview installation path. My approach above will ensure that Framework.lvlib of the actor is still loaded in the subfolder vi.lib or is it now "hardcoded" aware of my installation path?

    Best regards
    Jonas CJ

    You should read some documents and tutorials on LVOOP, because it is the mechanism that is used. In this case, you must have the responsible actor in the project, so the simplest is the frame screws fall into a vacuum of VI, then go into your properties of the class, go to the legacy page and click the button change. The tree shows you the class loaded into the project, that's why you need the first step for the first class. After that, the class is already loaded, because the other your class inherits from this one, you don't need something it explicit the call.

    With respect to the path, vi.lib is a logical path, so it does not work properly when moving between computers and versions of LV.
