How do I get iphoto to recognize that a computer really is connected to the internet? I cannot use places to locate my photos, because the software keeps telling me my computer is not connected. I know the computer is connected.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. It the problem persists make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If the new library does'nt have that problem then your original library is damaged. Post back if that's the case and we'll go from there.

How do I get iTunes to recognize that I have already downloaded a song?

I have a song I have purchased and downloaded. When looking at the "Songs" view the song is listed twice. One with a cload download button next to it even though I already have it downloaded. I deleted the existing file and it was still listed twice, this time with a cload button next to both listings. How do I get iTunes to recognize that I have purchased it only once?

I've tried all of that and iTunes still won't sync my phone. I've deauthroized my computer than reauthorized it. I've deauthorized all computers then reauthorized my computer and every time I go to sync, iTunes keeps telling me my computer isn't authorized.

How do I get iPhoto to recognize a scanned jpeg?

I am trying to scan old photographs from books, and put them into iPhoto. Eventually all the photos will be used in an iMovie project. I am having trouble getting iPhoto to recognize the format of the scanned picture. When I try to import the jpeg file, iPhoto says it cannot recognize the format. Any suggestions?

As a text try this:
go to Toad's Cellar and download the Automator workflow applicaton "Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile".
unzip the application on the Desktop.
drop a copy of one of your scanned photos onto the Automator workflow application.
import the resulting converted image file into iPhoto.
If the above lets you import the image file into your library you can process the remaining files and import them.

How do you get iPhoto albums on to an external HD and not by date?

I really hope someone can help me with this.
I don't know if I am missing some really easy step, but I recently bought an external 100GB FireLite drive to back up all my photos and music. The problem is that when I drag the albums on to the hard drive an error message comes up after a while, this even happens if I try to drag one photo. However, if I drag the files in date format, i.e 2001, 2002, 2003 etc.. then the files are copied over. However, when I try and open these on the new drive, they come up in Preview not in iPhoto. I am wondering if anybody else has had these problems and if so, how did you manage to back up your photos on an external hard drive as the albums are shown in iPhoto and not in date format.
I'd be grateful for any advice.

Hi Saint tommy,
-when you drag Albums to the hard drive you are probably running into the problem of having images in the Album that have the same file name. This happens when your camera resets it's file numbering to 1 each time you clear the card. Make sure your camera uses continuos numbering. I am not sure why that would happen dragging one photo.
-when you drag the photos in date format, the images are still in separate folders as to date of creation, so you will not have the same problem because they are in separate folders.
-When you open them up on a separate drive, they will open up in Preview because you did not copy the Entire iPhoto Library folder. If you did copy the entire iPhoto Library folder you would have to tell iPhoto where this folder is so it can open it.
When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
Open library
Navigate to where the library is on your computer, highlight it, then clcik the "open" button.
Now the "how to for backing up the iPhoto Library folder"
Backing up your iPhoto Library
1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Double click the folder to open it.
Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.
2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
If you just want to backup the images in your library:
1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
Now the "how to copy the iPhoto Library to an external and have iPhoto use that library."
Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to a Mac formatted external drive.
Launch iPhoto while holding down the Option key.
At the prompt, choose to open another library.
Navigate to the library on the external and highlight it.
Hit the "open" button
iPhoto will open the library on the external and from now on will use this library to import images too. This will now be your working library. Make sure everything is working correctly and everything is fine in the library.
You can then delete the library on the internal if you wish.
Hope this helps!

How can you get iTunes to recognize a PC as a PC (not an OS as a PC)?

I have three PC's and all three are dual-boot. Of course each PC can only be running one Operating System (OS) at any one time - regardless of how many may be available.
It is important to me to have my music (iTunes) available on each PC regardless of which OS I happen to be running. But I can't have my iTunes music on all three of my PCs with the 5 PC Authorization limit working incorrectly.
The limit of five PCs should work fine for me (since I have only three PCs) - except that iTunes erroneously considers an OS as a PC - not a PC as a PC.
So with three PCs each of which has (at least) two OSs iTunes does not allow me to authorize (and play my purchased music) on all three PCs - only two of them and sometimes on the third - depending on which OS I happen to use.
Another problem caused by counting an OS as a PC (instead of a PC as a PC) is that when an OS crashes and cannot be repaired - iTunes demands to Authorize it yet again before playing the (same) music.
When testrng a new OS reloads are sometimes required - even after running stable for some period - therefore it is easy to use up 3 of the 5 PC 'Authorizations' on one OS on one PC.
It would be so easy to fix these (manufactured) problems - just Authorize a PC as a PC - instead of an OS as a PC!
It should be easy to Authorize a PC as a PC by using a unique identifier such as the motherboard serial number as the PC ID. Although the MB may be changed that is far less likely than the constant upgrading and changing of the OS.
Right now I have an OS (Win 7) that will not start all the way. I fixed the Boot Record(s) and reloaded Boot Manager, but it stops after the first cursor and before the welcome screen. After spending a certain amount of time debugging and recovering all my data I would normally just re-write the drive, but I had already Authorized iTunes on it - just after using my (once yearly) clear of the five Auths. So I have to spend days and days trying to recover something I could rebuild in an hour - just because I need to save the iTunes Authorization. All the other software (including the OS and Office) will immediately re-Activate on the same PC. But not iTunes.
What is the work-around for this error of calling an OS a PC? and... How do I recover a previous Authorization on a PC when I have to rebuild an OS on that PC?

Hi turingtest2 - thanks for the reply. As you say It is how it is - and I have three workstations in this home (not counting three for my children and one for the family) and I pretty much always have more than one OS on each - that's how it is for me. I shouldn't have to worry about how many OSs I have (or how often I change them) just to have music while I'm working - through the PC sound system that is. I never have to worry about any other software, only iTunes. Once in a while (in the past) I've made a vendor call if I changed to many things to often (like CPU, GPU, memory, etc - or even a replacement MB) - but that hasn't happened in a couple years (at least since Vista) so I think (hope) they have fixed that for good. And even then it was a quick call and problem resolved. The only (glaring) constant problem is iTunes - limiting my own use of my own music (by counting an OS as a physical PC). Even with VM (which is just another OS) - although you can Attach things to multiple active OSs - it's still your own (purchased) music - and all on one PC. Thanks again!

Where is my Mac App. I purchased a MacBook Pro about two years ago while in Okinawa. I recently moved to St Louis. When using the "find my Mac" app, it still says my Mac is located in Okinawa. How do I get it to recognize that it is now in St. Louis?

How do I get iPhoto to recognize my Sony nex 5R

When I connect my Sony Nex 5R to my macbook, and launch iPhoto, iPhoto doesn't recognize camera automatically. What am I doing wrong?

Are you shooting RAW?
I do not see your camera on the list of supported cameras - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US - if it is not supported then shoot JPEG until support is released or use the Sony supplied software to download and convert the images and import the converted images until Apple releases support

How do I get iTunes to recognize that I authorized my computer?

I have an iPhone 4S, the latest version of iTunes and Windows 8 and I can't sync my phone. iTunes keeps telling me to authorize my computer but it's already authorized. I've tried uninstalling all my Apple software and reinstalling it but that doesn't work. I've tried deauthorizing my computer and authorizing it again but that didn't work either. Is there anything else I can do?

I've tried all of that and iTunes still won't sync my phone. I've deauthroized my computer than reauthorized it. I've deauthorized all computers then reauthorized my computer and every time I go to sync, iTunes keeps telling me my computer isn't authorized.
