IPhoto can't find pics - asks for each one individually

I imported 750 pics from a CD, but didn't have the iPhoto "copy files to iPhoto library" turned on. When I went back to edit the photo's after I had ejected the disk, iPhoto couldn't find the files. I realized what I had done, so I remounted the CD, copied the files to my HD, ejected the CD and then reopened iPhoto and tried to edit the photo's again. Once again iPhoto couldn't find the original, so instead of going through the relinking process for each and every photo, I selected them in iPhoto and deleted them. Then I went to "import", found the folders for the photo's on my hard drive and hit "Import" - Once again iPhoto asked where the photo's were - and wouldn't import them until I relinked each one. Why is it doing this? Why can't I reimport them?
I went through the rebuild process, but I can't seem to clear iPhoto's memory of these photo's so I can reimport them cleanly.
Also - how do I see ythe files in the iPhoto trash?

mklein:
Check that folder with the image files and make sure they are full sized copies of those on the CD and not alias files themselves. There was a time I got alias files when I though I copied full sized files. Don't remember what process I had used but had to go back, open the CD, do a select all and do an Option-drag to make sure I was copying the files. May have been a one time glitch, I don't know.

HT1040 Is there a way to place an order with more than one item at a time? For example I am going to make a few books and have them all shipped to me. Do I have to order and pay shipping for each one individually?

You have to order each book separately, if the books are different. Only multiple copies of the same book can be ordered in the same order, see here

Where can I find tech specs for each flash player version?

Hi, I'm looking for information on each flash player version
(at least 9 and 10) and the items that they support. I'm having
issues with an application that is being published to Flash Player
9, but when I try to use it with Flash Player 9 I see problems.
When running with Flash Player 10, it's no problem.
I need this information so I can fix my app so it will work
as expected with all versions of flash player we need to support.
I'd really appreciate the help, if I don't get this worked out I
could see losing my job. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Try the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment
If you need more help, please specify your Windows version & edition.

Garageband can't find audio files for each instrument

Every time I try and load a software instrument I get a message that says the wav or aiff file can't be found. It asks me if I want to search again but it doesn't let me search manually. Where are these files?

Thats weird. I can understand getting that message if you are trying to load a 'blue' audio loop, but not a 'green' software instrument.
The audio loops on my machine are in two places
1. Machintosh HD>Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops for GarageBand AND JamPack 4 Synphony Orchestra.
2. Machintosh HD>Library>Application Support>GarageBand>AppleLoops>JamPack 2 & 3.
If you have not loaded any JamPacks or 3rd party loops and are just using the standard loops that come with GB then option 1 will be where your want to have a look.

IPhoto can not find several photos, shows icon, but not pic itself and I did not move anything

I have more then 12'000 photos on iPhoto. After the last update it shows me all pics in the small icons, but when I click on them, severals are not whown - a black background with a grey triangle opens and a "!" in the mid. I suppose this means that iPhoto can not find the data. I already looked into the database and the files are really not there. But I did NOT move them! What happened? What can I do? (I would highly appreciate if I would not have to check every single photo and reimport it again!!!) Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm sure this is a setting fix, but can't find it-. All of my windows for mac programs open when I turn on my computer, such that I have to close each one individually to get to my desk top. How do I adjust so none of them open unless I choose to?

Remove the check in the box "Reopen windows when logging back in":

I have iPhoto Version 8.6, and and want to upgrade to Version. I can't find a download for Version 9.0.0. Exactly what version do I need to download and or buy, and where do I find it. Every version of 9 that I download tells me I need an earlier one.

There is no download aside from the one in the Mac App Store available to people running Mac OS X 10.6.6 and newer. The other way of getting iPhoto 9 is to purchase iLife 11 on DVD. As iLife 11 requires Mac OS X 10.6.3 or newer, it's usually best to update to 10.6.8 for free and then use the Mac App Store version.

Apps on computer but in a different folder. Can I merge them?I have 180 apps that iTunes can no longer "find". They appear in "my apps" and there is a file location for them. Can old purchases be restored without doing each one individually?

That did the trick! Thank you.
The free trial is all I needed to migrate my iPod Touch library into my main iTunes library. For those that want to use this tool for the same needs there are some things that need to be moved manually, e.g. Apps. But you can do it within the program very easily. Also iBooks/PDFs etc. need to be moved manually. The help section will point you in the right direction.
No more switching iTunes libraries for me.

Having corrected my corrupt catalog (PSE 11) I now have thousands of duplicate images. Is there any way of of removing the extra copies? I've had suggestions that apply to Windows, and iPhoto but can't find any advice for Photoshop Elements on Mac Maveric

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

IPhoto can't find original photos after volume name change

I had to reformat my drive and do a fresh install of Mountain Lion. I was pleased that the Migration Assistant imported all the user accounts, apps, etc. from a Time Machine backup. Never could have done *that* with Windows...
However, in iPhoto, I *do not* copy pictures from my Pictures folder into the iPhoto library and iPhoto can't find them. I expect that this is because I changed the volume name when I reformatted the drive, which is embedded somewhere in the iPhoto package in my Pictures folder.
Does anyone know which iPhoto files I can edit or batch edit to change references from the old volume name to the new one? Is this information stored in text or XML files that I can edit or is it embedded in binary files? I thought I might be able to reimport the photos from the current volume and iPhoto would sort out the duplicates (not a great option if I get prompted for each one though...) but I wasn't sure if that would preserver events, faces, etc.
When I try to rebuild the iPhoto library, I get a dialog indicating each file cannot be found on the volume. While it provides an option to browse for the location, this isn't practical due to the 1000's of photos and movies on the drive.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

As OT says, the primary reason not to run a Referenced Library, and, most especially, not one where you have the Library on one Volume and the photos on another.
You're going to have this problem again and again any time you make a change to your hardware set up - including upgrading your machine and so on.
Going forward: Do you have Aperture? This has a command to Locate Referenced Masters which should help. Other than that, how are you at hacking SQL databases? That's what this guy did:

IPhoto can't find my Nikon Coolpix S5 camera

iPhoto can't find my Nikon Coolpix S5 camera. It will not mount on my desktop. What do I do? I have used this camera for a few years and now it will not work any more. Is it the new OSX 10.5.3?
Thank you.

Ok
Does the same thing happen when connected to any of your three computers?
Is this being plugged into a usb hub or straight into the computer?
could It be the cable?
You can buy an SD card reader that is usb for less than $10 at your local Fry's
if none of the above works.
If it connects and says the pics aren't the right format, plug your camera into a peecee
and see if that works.

IPhoto can not find the original photo, does iPhoto copy the photo or just make a thumbnail?

Hi,
I'm scanning and putting all of my (paper) photos into my computer and then into iPhoto, tagging them, and doing all the time consuming things necessary to build a good library.
I've tried to open a few of the events and look at the photos I put in but I get an error that iPhoto can not find the original photo. When I put a photo into iPhoto does the program only make a thumbnail copy with a link to the original, or does it actually copy the photo into the library? I'm thinking the former. Because I have a Time Machine backup, a hard copy, and (presumably) a copy in iPhoto, I have been deleting the photos AFTER putting them into iPhoto. Do I need to keep the photos I put in iPhoto on my computer? Will I need to go into TM and restore them? Will I loose the information like Faces, Places, Keywords, if I do?
Thank you much,
I'm working with 9.1.2

I have exactly the same problem except my photo is named "L1000093.jpg" and it's been there for a year now, but suddenly, when I wanted to view it in it's album, ("Favorite" which has been there for a year too), it says "The photo P1010311.jpg cannot be found"!!! What the heck is going on? So I canceled, went back to the album, clicked on L1000093, clicked "show event", went over to Event, clicked "reveal in finder" and there it is, iPhoto Library/Master/blah blah blah... L1000093.jpg!
Where the hack did that P1010311.jpg came from? Sure I have that photo, but it's in a completely different event and a different album! What's is iPhoto 11 / Lion / iTunes 10.5.3(3) up to?
So I threw L1000093jpg into the trash, went into Lightroom, find the original, re-export it, load it again into iPhoto, added it again to the album (favorite), and guess what? I just did all those and the same "The bloody photo cannot be found" message popped up and when I go to finder, there it is.
This is a bug. It's been a bug since 2006 as far as I can remember. And Apple had never done a complete fix. It's an if thing!
And the most frustrating part: Althought they call this an Apple forum and you have to sign in to participate, I have never seen one Apple software guy here saying "this is what to do", just us victims helping each other and many non-Apple folks guessing to the best of their ability to comfort us.
Oh, toys are toys. I sometimes wonder if Steve had fought so hard yet the cancer in Apple actually won!

Can not find file must locate each song one at a time need to restore my whole library

can not find file, must locate each song one at a time need to restore my whole library

Hello BadSteve,
It sounds like iTunes seems to have lost track of all your music and you must locate each file individually. I would recommend at this point that you check for 3rd party plugins to see if there are any causing an issue:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
If the issue persists after removing the plugins, I would next try recreating your iTunes library:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

New MacBookPro. Where can I find a driver for my Microtek Scanmaker 3600

I recently bought a new MacBook Pro (10.6.8) but to date, haven't been able to find any software/driver to use for my scanner, including the Microtek site. I have a Microtek Scanmaker 3600 that still works perfectly. I have searched forums and online sites for software to use the scanner on the new laptop and hate to think I need to buy a new scanner when the 3600 works fine. I have an HP Deskjet 930C and was able to find the software/driver to use on the new laptop. Does anyone know where I can find the software/driver to get my scanner to work?
Where can I find a driver for my Microtek Scanmaker 3600. Tried VueScan and TwainSane without success. Do not want to buy a new scanner when old one runs great. Please Help?
Thanks!

Thank you for the response.
I downloaded it and it keeps telling me "No Scanner Detected." I looked on their website under supported scanners, found my Microtek ScanMaker 3600 and it says "NO" for Mac.
http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/microtek_scanmaker_3600.html
I just sent an email to them asking if VueScan does support a my scanner. I hope it does. I have been searching but am not proficient or know enough of what to look for. I just don't want to have to buy another scanner.
