IPhoto 6.0.6 throws up Error Message when used for the first time

After 7 months since having purchased my iMac I am using iPhoto for the first time. However, as soon as the iPhoto Library is created in the Pictures folder, about 30 seconds later, I get an Error Message stating "An error occurred while trying to save your photo library. Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder."
I have over 165GB on my hard disk. I have tried re-installing iLife 06 from the system disks that came in the box with my iMac. I have tried re-building the library by holding down the Option and Command keys when launching iPhoto. Nothing has helped so far.
I have tried calling the Apple support line, but after over an hour on the phone even he didnt know what the problem was.
Someone please help!
Gratefully yours,
DMEN

The plist files simply record your user preferences for an application - your choice of default font, say, or the colour of the background, that sort of stuff. If this files is damaged or corrupted it can affect the app in all sorts of ways. When you trash it the app will create a new one when you next start it, and that will be the "factory defaults", but at least it will work.
To trash the fie:
Go to HD / Users / Your Name / Library / Preferences and find the com.apple.iphoto.plist fie, and put it in the trash.
Then start iPhoto.

    Sorry if this has already been brought up...
    When I first sync my iPhone 3G with my MacBook Pro I get the following message:
    "Attempting to copy to the disk "Bob's iPhone" failed. This disk could not be read from or written to."
    I have tried completely restoring my iPhone 3G and then re-syncing... still not working.
    Anybody else getting this message?

  • Error msg when running Forte the first time

    The first time I ran Forte after installing it, I got an error message. Does anyone know what this means? I got this message on Win 98 and 2000. Here is the error message:
    "Some of the set of previously installed modules did not satisfy their dependencies
    and will be treated as disabled.
    For Tools Debugger ("org.netbeans.modules.debugger.debug/1") failed:
    This module depends on Java package sun.tools.debug which is not loaded
    (or registered according to theVersioning Specification)."

    The same error message appeared when I installed Forte on a Linux platform. I wondered if it might have something to do with the fact that I set JDK_HOME to the location of J2SE and not J2EE, which I thought perhaps might have org.netbeans stuff in it, maybe also the remote debugging stuff in sun.tools.debug. But I'm not sure if I should set JDK_HOME of J2EE and reinstall Forte to find out.

    For the first time, I'm trying to use adobe premiere elements 10 that came with my pc Windows 8. I created a single project, saved it but cannot open it. My pc shows the file I created but I get an error message that says this type file is not supported or the codex is not installed. As a test, I created another very small project and get the same error message, when I try to open it. Pls give me a simple answer, a refund or a phone

    mike frischenmeyer
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on? And, what video card/graphics card does that computer use?
    Is this the first time you are using Premiere Elements 10 or have you worked with it before successfully? There is no easy solution until we
    know the details and troubleshoot to determined what caused the problem.
    1. Can you open a new project?
    2. After you saved/closed the problem project, did you move, delete, or rename any of the files/folder that were related to the source media
    for that project?
    3. Please review the Adobe document on troubleshooting damaged projects.
    Troubleshoot damaged projects | Adobe Premiere Elements
    4. What are the steps that you are using to reopen this saved closed project.
    a. File Menu/Open Project/Name of Project
    b. Other
    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next based on your further details and results..
    Thank you.

    Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  "Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."  What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?

    This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

  • Error message when using search

    why do i keep getting an error message when using the "search" tabe in iTunes. This happend whe i upgraded t the latest version of itunes.

    Well, I believe JHeadstart does not really have this functionality.
    One way is use a Query Operator 'startsWith', but then you always query like LIKE '<entered search value>%'
    This is probably not what you want...
    But you could hack it into advancedSearch in YourApplicationModuleImpl
    try {
    if (viewCriterium.getQueryValue() != null) { //This is where exception JHS-00116 is raised...
    value = viewCriterium.getQueryValue().toString();
    } else {
    value = null;
    catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
    //insert check for wildcard
    value = viewCriterium.getValue().toString();
    if (value.indexOf('%')>=0) {          
    sLog.debug("Ja, een wildcard!!!");
    operator = "LIKE";
    } else {//original exceptionhandling code here...
    ...and a bit later, add test for "LIKE":
    if (viewCriterium.isDate() || viewCriterium.isString() || "LIKE".equals(operator)) {
    value = "'" + value + "'";
    very nasty code, and does not raise an exception for searches like '%xxx'
    Good luck,
    HJH

  • Error message when using FM 'BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE'.

    I'm continually getting an error message when using FM 'BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE'. The message being 'Table BAPIADTEL entry to be changed not found in target system'.
    I have looked up this message but all links seem to refer to FM 'BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE', which I'm not using, and has different parameter settings.
    I'm simply trying to update the telephone number and I'm updating strcuture BAPIADTEL and BAPIADTELX but still the message appears. I know that there is a really simple reason for this, but I have been double-checking everything and experimenting with lots of different areas, but with no effect.
    Has anyone encountered this problem using the specific FM ''BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE' ?.
    Jason

    Hi Jason,
    In case your database tables had already value for field telephone number, then only the flag should be "U".
    If the telephone number field was empty, and we will try to change it by using the flag as U, it wont work. In this case, we should be using "I".
    I even wrote that before in this post, but somehow I guess the post was locked, and a lot of comments from you and me were not visible apart from the first two. So, I couldnt get any update from you.
    Anyway, its good that its working for you. Thank you for the update.
    Regards,
    Susanta

  • First Generation Ipod Nano gives error message when using Windows Vista

    I have a dual boot PC running XP Home and Vista Home Premium. My three kids have Ipod Nanos. Each kid has their own user profile on the PC. The later generation Nanos (2) work with Vista perfectly.
    The first generation Nano causes an error message when you connect the Ipod to the PC while running Vista. If you run the XP and associate the Nano with XP everything syncs perfectly with no error messages.
    Conclusion: Early Nanos work with XP, but do not function properly with Vista.
    Request of Apple INC. - Fix this to work with Vista, or send me a new Ipod free of charge.

    All of the following programs should work with Vista.
    Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
