Has anyone encountered an "exclamation  point" in a white circle centered on a black screen when trying to edit a photo?

Has anyone encountered an "exclamation point symbol" in a gray circle surrounded by a black screen when editing in iphoto? 

Yes.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Elements 11 organizer has stopped working when trying to edit an album?

    Has anyone run into this?
    The only place I've had the problem is when trying to edit an album.  After it stops working, elements 11 just shuts down.
    Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate. 
    Thanks...

    Great.. you figured that out
    Just a thought, if you want to continue using Roboform as well as PSE and the two conflict.. you can Add PSE to Roboform's blacklist. That should stop the interaction between the two.
    Steps to do so-
    If PSE is running, close it now.
    In Roboform 7, go to Options / Applications Integration.
    Select Add to the Black List (the list of applications RoboForm will not attach to).
    Browse to the location of the PSE executable <Organizer in your case, possibly Editor too>
    Thanks

  • Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? How can this problem be solved?

    Dear all,
    I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
    Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
    How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
    An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content.

  • Has anyone encountered problem with VIRSA_CC_ACTUSAGE missing some data?

    Has anyone encountered a problem where the VIRSA_CC_ACTUSAGE table is missing some transaction activity?
    We have a situation where the monthly ST03 file shows that a user executed the MI31 transaction some time back in August.  However our ACTUSAGE table does not show this user performing MI31 for any day in August. 
    It does have records of other people using MI31 in August.  It also has records of this same user performing other transactions in August.  It even has records showing other transactions this same user performed in August.
    This is now an issue with our external Auditors.
    We are on GRC 5.3 SP 13.
    Thanks.

    Hi Bob,
    VIRSA_CC_ACTUSAGE holds information on the transactions executed by users and it gets the data from STAD. Did you notice the time user has spent in the MI31 transaction code (I know even if the user hasn't spent more time, it should be recorded), but this another step to isolate the issue.Also, check SM21 logs on that specific day, and see if there are any events registered during that time related to STAD. I think it was not able to collect the data.
    Also, check VIRSA_CC_ALTCDLOG. This is the Alter log table that stores information of ACTUSAGE. The purge utility will only delete the data from the ACTUSAGE, but it remains in the ALTCDLOG.
    Refer to SAP Note 1512020 for additional details on the Alert files.
    Hope this helps!!

  • I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

    Hello al!
    I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

    Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
    like this

  • I getting no sound out of the USB connection in my car from my new iPod Classic. Has anyone encountered this problem?

    I getting no sound out of the USB connection in my cars from my new iPod classic. The song name artist display on the console in the car but no audio. This is happening on 2 cars - Nissan Rogue and Acura TL. My older iPod classic played fine in these cars. Has anyone encountered this issue?  

    I have a similar problem with a 160 gb Classic, about 5 years old - if I move the plug one channel may be heard and tehn the other. The interface works but not the sound. Different ipods eg nano work perfectly.
    The two cars I have are an Audi and a BMW and both have manufacturer connectors

    Hi Eric,
    The message seems to totally disappear. It is going to an AOL customer in UK. I changed their address to start with a lowercase letter & the message was returned to me by AOL as undeliverable, I then changed the first letter of the address beck to upper case, the same I have been using for years, but again it disappeared.
    I appreciate any help you can give me. Tks Gord.

  • Has anyone encountered an "Error 1335"

    Has anyone encountered an "Error 1335.  The cabinet file 'mib.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used.  This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with the package."?  I am trying to install LV 2009 SP1 on my Windows XP system and encountered this error on the FPGA module.
    I have tried everything suggested in a post from 2004 including a reinstall with no luck.  This software has been loaded on other laptops within my group with no problems.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Is this error different from the one listed in LV?  The one I read has something to do with updating a UI control.

  • HT4061 I can't use my ipad mini.  All buttons are frozen including the on and off, can't even find the serial number, can't see it on the back, can't find it under settings because no buttons will work.  Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

    My ipad mini is frozen and won't allow me to use any buttons.  I can't access settings to get the serial number for Apple Support and I can't read the serial number from the back.  It's too small and shadowy.  There is a message that reads "ICloud Backup--This ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks.  Back ups happen when this ipad is plugged in,locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."
    It won't allow me to shut if off using the on and off button.  I stuck a paper clip into the tiny reset button, but nothing happens.
    Has anyone else had this problem?  Please help,

    This is the most common "fix" when devices are behaving strangely. It only takes a minute and there's no risk of lost data. This is the reason you'll see this fix being suggested so often.
