I renamed the card reader and now iPhoto doesn't work

i am using a card reader to upload photos to iPhoto. everything works fine until yesterday i renamed the card reader icon (the icon always says "Untitled" but i renamed it to something else) and now it doesn't read anymore. the warning says "Unreadable Files: 1" it's in unrecognized format. i wonder if it has anything to do with renaming the file. what can i do and how can it fix this?

Possibly
iPhoto does not see your card reader - it sees the card so renaming it might create a problem since you are writing to the card
Do you have photos on it you need to save? If so give image capture a try (it is in your applications folder) or use the finder -- once you have your photos off of it user your camera to reformat the card (the camera's format command) and see if that cures it (it probably will go back to untitled)

  • I had to reinstall my OS and now iPhoto doesn't work.

    Can I reinstall without having to re-purchase? My computer was going slow so Apple support suggested that I do a TimeMachine backup, clear the computer and reinstall the OS. I have been having problems ever since and my computer STILL runs slow. Right now my issue is with iPhoto. I had the same issue w/ iMovie but was able to copy it from my external hard drive to my laptop to get it to work. That is not working w/ iPhoto.

    How big is your HD and how much free space on it?
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Changed the Shared Secret, and now VPN doesn't work...

    Hello all. So our VPN was working fine. I changed the Shared Secret, and it stopped working. Seems like any Shared Secret now that I use doesn't work, and I've been triple-checking it on both the server and clients to make certain that it's not miss-typed.
    It seems to connect OK, but then it fails to authorize. I've got the proper ports open, and again, it worked just fine with the first Shared Secret I used.
    Is there something I'm missing about Shared Secrets here? You should be able to change them when you need too, right?
    Message was edited by: Jeffrey McGrew

    Looking at the logs I'm seeing something strange that I don't understand. It appears that one part of the authorization is succeeding, and another part failing:
    "DSAuth plugin: Could not authenticate key agent for encryption key retrieval."
    Then, two lines later:
    "CHAP peer authentication succeeded for USER"
    "DSAccessControl plugin: User 'USER' authorized for access"
    But then the client never shows that it's authorized. So is this a problem with the client configuration, since the server is showing an authorized session starting, or is there something wrong with the DSAuth Plugin?

    How do I reinstall an older version of the software on my IPod touch?  Installed the latest update and now it no longer works in my car.

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • Files deleted from the Library and now internet doesn't work?

    Hello,
    I'm new here and this is probably going to sound dumb but... my father deleted some files from the Library by mistake and now internet doesn't work in his computer. Everything seems normal, but the webpages don't load (we tried lots of pages and 3 browsers). If you try to update any software it can't connect to the internet either.
    He reinstalled the system (it's Mountain Lion, I think) but it didn't worked (it was a partial reinstallation, without losing the data). He also tried restarting and pressing CMD-R but nothing happened.
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Thank you so much in advance! (and sorry for any typos, English is not my native language)

    Thank you.  I've been looking online for refurbished iphones but that is cheaper than buying a refurbished phone.

    Did software update today and now IPhoto is not working.  Operating system is OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

    What OS X version did you upgrade from? What iPhoto version did you have before upgrading? You cannot upgrade a version of iPhoto from a pre-10.10.2 OS X version installation. You needed iPhoto 9.6.1.

  • Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

    Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3.5 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

    I understood what you were saying. You did type 4.3.5 in your post. Several other things to try.
    Close all open apps like I described above. Just tap the home button first so that you will be able to access all of your apps. Close every single one and then restart again.
    You can also delete the app and download it again. As long as you use the same Apple ID and password there is no charge to download it again. Tap and hold down on the GarageBand app icon until it wiggles. Then tap the X to delete it. Download it again.
    Reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10-15 seconds. Ignore the red slider shut off bar. When the Apple logo appears you can let go of the buttons and the iPad will reboot.
    The final thing to try is to download another app - any free app. Sometimes that seems to reset something on the iPad. You can always delete the free app if you don't want it.

  • I backed up my phone before i went on vacation. I dropped my phone in a pool and now it doesn't work, is there any way that i can get the pictures that I took on vacation off of the phone?

    IF you had icloud backups and Camera Roll turned on in Settings on the wet phone, then you can restore that backup to an iOS device, but not a computer.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Once you get a replacement phone...
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

    I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

    The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
    The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
    Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
    This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.
