Dear  MAC-Friends.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
Choose another Library ?  ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
and the other possibility is:
Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library  ?
And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Kind regards  FINN GRABOWSKI

Ok. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?

  • I have just bought Ipad3 last week and now know that its spec. got updated. Is there any chance i can have free upgrade with mine to the A6 one?

    As stated in the title! Please help!

    @imwater,
    Here's what I just read on 9to5Mac:
    "For those who purchased the third-generation iPad recently... CNET reported that local Apple Stores might replace the third-generation iPad with the new fourth-generation if it was purchased within the last 30 days."
    Since you qualify for this 30-day policy, I think you have a pretty good shot at getting that upgrade.
    Here's the full story: http://9to5mac.com/2012/10/23/apple-will-exchange-3rd-gen-ipads-purchased-within -the-past-30-days-for-a-shiny-new-4th-gen/

  • I have just upgraded to OSX Maverick and now my Apple TV has taken over my iTunes videos. I have tried turning off homeshare and iHave gone into system prefs and disabled the remote, but the problem persists. Any ideas.

    After upgrading to OSX Maverick my Apple TV  has taken control of my iTunes videos insisting I have to watch it on my TV. I have tried disabling home sharing on iTunes and on the Apple TV menu, I have also checked the disable Infrared facility in Systems Prefs Security. Even if I put the Apple TV in standby as soon as I hit a key on my iMac, Apple TV comes back on and on my Itunes screen I get the Apple TV logo imprinted on the screen, meaning I can no longer watch it on my MAC, I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help.

    I think you're headed the right direction. There is an AirPlay icon (on mine it is up near the play/pause controls) that I believe is used to set the default desitination for the video to play.
    I'd never seen your issue before, but opened iTunes on a recently-upgraded-to-Mavericks MacBook and it did exactly as you described. While the video was loading, I switched the AirPlay option to the computer instead of ATV and it began playing locally (after a delay as you'd mentioned). I then read this page, which is actually quite old: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1091073, which lead me to the icon near the play/pause button. It now has Computer selected on it, and defaults to play locally instead of the ATV even after quitting and reopening iTunes. I hope that is helpful.

  • I have just changed my network provided and now i can't find my 1st gen airport express with airport utilities

    Hi, can anyone help. I've just updated my network with a new hub and now i cant find my 1st gen Airport express with the curreent Aiport utilities.

    From your description, it sounds like the AirPort Express was configured to connect to your "old" router or hub...and, to do that,  the Express remembered the specific ID of that device as part of the connection credentials.
    The Express is likely still looking for the "old" device for which it still has the settings to connect.
    Since you changed to a new hub or router, the Express has no idea how to connect to this new device.
    If this is the case......then the solution will be to reset the Express back to factory default settings....and then configure it again to connect to your "new" hub.

  • I have just loaded my iLife disc and now my iPhoto will not open

    I have just loaded iLife 11 which I have had for over a year and now my iPhoto will not open, how can I overcome this problem.

    I have just loaded iLife 11 which I have had for over a year
    You mean, you reinstalled iLife from the iLIfe '11 installer? If your current iPhoto library has been edited using a newer iPhoto version, you need first to update to the latest version you used. Update from the -menu > Software Update.
    Then try again to launch iPhoto.
    now my iPhoto will not open, how can I overcome this problem.
    If updating to the latest version does not solve this, explain exactly, in what way "iPhoto will not open". What is the error message, and what is your MacOS X version?

  • I have just set up email accounts and now passcode is being asked for to get into iPad..is their a default?

    I have just created email accounts on iPad 2 and now it is asking for passcode on start up ..is there a default passcode?

    Are you talking about a passcode just to open the iPad and use it? If yes, there is no default and none is set one out of the box. However...if one of those email accounts is an Exchange account with your employer most likely they remotely set the passcode. You will have to contact your Exchange administrator.

  • How can I see the photos in my wife's iPhoto library from my profile

    As she is the photographer we have imported all the photos to her library, but I would still like access from time to time.

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
