I use an iMac 10.6.8 with iPhoto '09 to download digital images from Canon DSLRs. Until the last two weeks there has been no trouble whatever importing images by  a USB connection from either camera to the Mac. Now the process will not kick in. Any ideas?

I use an Mac OSX 10.6.8 with iPhoto 09 to download digital images from two Canon DSLRs. Until the last week, there has been no problem whatever in launching the import procedure once the USB connection has been connected and the camera switched on. Now the process will not kick in at all for either camera.  I can't find a solution through iPhoto help or from other sources.
Any ideas to fix?  (I admit I have not tested the USB cable at this time).

What does "kick in" mean?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

  • HT4910 Hi, i have an iPad4 and for the last two days it has been stuck with the iCloud Backup pop up.  I cant click on OK or turn it off.  It has been connected to a wifi network and left locked and plugged in all day. Any one got any ideas please?

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • For the last two days, firefox has been freezing or Not Responding and giving error message

    every 30 seconds or so firefox tells me it is not responding. and once it comes back it gives me the following error message.
    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

    I did install a java update, don't know if this is related.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • How can I make a report of all records with the date in the last two weeks?

    Hi!
    I have records with a date field, I want to create a report that only includes records with a date which is within the last two weeks of the system date, is this possible? Surely this is a basic database function, I would have thought, but I can find no help about it and there's very little in Mac Help about doing anything other than simple stuff with reports.
    I'm not a genius with databases, so help with any required formula or what have you would be great!

    Hi Jonathan,
    Here's a formula you can use with the Match function. 'Date' is the name of the date field, which must be a "Date" type field.
    'Date'>NOW()-14
    Match will select (highlight) all records matching the query. You'll then need to use Organize > Hide Unselected to show only the matches.
    Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to make the NOW() function work in a Find request, and neither Match requests nor Hide Unselected can be included in a recorded search, either of which would reduce repeating the report to a one-button operation.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • I just installed OS X Yosemite on my MacBook. I now cannot get the computer to start up. If I hold down the power button to try and power it back up, it will not start. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I just installed OS X Yosemite on my MacBook. I now cannot get the computer to start up. If I hold down the power button to try and power it back up, it will not start. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Download and install the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Yup, most users on this forum do not use MS Office, I'd suggest reposting on the Office for Mac Product Forums hosted by Microsoft.

  • HT1414 On Ipad, I can open Sky/BBC news etc, but when I click on an article with video, it will not load. Any ideas

    On my Ipad2 I can open Sky/BBCNews etc. but when I click on an article with video, it will not load. Any ideas
    I also lost all content from my diary

    If the video is in flash, then the iPad can't play it natively. You need to use different browser apps to access flash content. I see Puffin, iSwiffer recommended a lot.

  • My MacBookPro is less than 3 months old and for the last few days, it has been  itslow to load anything, especially web pages.  I get the rainbow swirl when loading or reloading.  I guess I am spoiled.  Up until now it was lightening fast!

    My MacBookPro is less than 3 months old and, for the last few days, it has been loading so slowly, mainly with webpages.  I have gotten the swirling rainbow "thinking" icon more in the last days than I have since I bought it.  I know I'm spoiled and expect it to be faster than lightening (which it has been) but I am worried that I may have been compromised in some way, or, is there anything I can do as administrator to clear out some "junk"?

    Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
    Given that your MacBook Pro is so new, you should certainly contact AppleCare and take advantage of the free telephone support included in its purchase price.
    Until then, if you are motivated to investigate this yourself consider the following:

  • HT1766 I usually have iCloud backup but I got a notification that my phone has not backed up for the last two weeks, and It wont let me do it manually. Why did it all of a sudden stop backing up?

    I usually have iCloud backup but I got a notification that my phone has not backed up for the last two weeks, and It wont let me do it manually.There is also still enough storage space.  Why did it all of a sudden stop backing up?

    The HT1766 article you attached lists the prerequisites for an iCloud backup:
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in Settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage, it will run on a daily basis as long as your device is:
    Connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi
    Connected to a power source
    Screen locked
    You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

    My apple id keeps getting reset. I have had to change my password at least 6 times in the last two weeks and it has now reset again

    You probably are mixing up your password with passwords from other accounts. If i were you i would write down your password somewhere easy to acess and make it very hard to guess if you ever reset it.

  • Finding the last fiscal a GL has been posted to

    Hi All,
    Is there any way by which we can find out the last time a GL has been posted to (fiscal year). We have a list of GL accounts and need to find a faster way of doind this.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi,
    I finally found a report which can be used to find the GL Accounts not posted. You can use the report S_ALR_87012311 - G/L Account Balances and Line Items to find out the GL Accounts not posted. Run the report by ticking the checkbox "Print Accounts not posted to".
    This will give the list of the accounts not posted based on your data selection.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards
