昨晚實行第二次資料灌入,今次的目標是iPhoto。
這次十分順利,把資料庫從Firewire HDD抄進iMac G5的適當位置便可。打開iPhoto便見到二千多張照片,運行速度更十分流暢,把thumbnail放大縮小絶無問題!
我發現Spotlight原來是不會搜找 iPhoto內照片的comments。我會為照片寫下comments,例如拍攝的地點,照片中的人物等,Spotlight不會找到這些資料,但在iPhoto內搜尋就無問題。
下午IMS的工程人員為我維條了損壞的cable,但連線還是有問題。檢查後懷疑是電話線老化。師父表示電話線老化令訊號減弱,這是常見的。沒有辦法,只有重新拉一條新電話線才可以根治問題。
但家中的電話線都是收藏在牆內,要維條或重拉線路都會十分麻煩。師父給的另一建議是盡量減少電話線的負荷。原本家中有一部有線電話、一部無線電話、一部傳真機、以及電腦接上電話線,經過多次試驗後,只有一部有線電話接上才不會影嚮電腦連線上網。其他的一接上便會影響線路,令電腦不能連線上網。
線路問題暫時解決了,有一大堆軟件更新要做,第一様要更新的便是Mac OS,由10.4升級到10.4.2。最後做了十多個軟件更新。
晚上設定Mail.app遇到問題,.Mac戶口只能收電郵,不能發電郵。試過開port 25、把firewall關掉、重新由頭設定等,最後發現是 ISP block port 25所至,把SMPT port 更改為587便沒問題。

iPhoto's meta data, including comment is actually searchable by Spotlight.
Try open system preferences, "desktop & screensaver", under the desktop column see if your iphoto library shown up. If it can't, this is very much similar to the incident happen to me before: iphoto library partially corrupted, so that the system can't locate the media data witin iphoto library.
Try rebuild your iphoto library. If not working, it is very likely the chinese character in the library causing the problem.
Thanks !
I can see iPhoto library under desktop & screensaver. May be that's chinese problem.
If you can see iPhoto library under desktop & screensaver (Which is VERY GOOD situation), you can try rebuild your iphoto library. :)
p.s holding option and apple key to start iphoto; if that doesn't work, you may want spotlight to reindex the iphoto library.
Hope this help!
