Iphotos Source list will not display...

I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone could offer... I have a new ibook G4 with iphoto 5 [5.0.4 (263) to be exact] I am embarrassingly baffled by this system, as I cannot get my Source list to display whatsoever, and am therefore unable to organize my photos into albums. My photo library is the only thing that displays. Whenever I attempt to create a new file the file disappears, I assume, into the source list which seems unfindable... I am a complete newbie at this, so I am anticipating an enormously obvious answer to this dilemma, but it is an answer that is absolutely evading me, left to my own devices! Any help would be extremely appreciated!!

Hi Pamela,
Sometimes people can't get that source window open, even when they try to move the dot/dimple to the right.
First try to drag the button to show the column as show here
If that doesn't work, then you need to delete the Preference file. That info (size of the source window) is kept in the iPhoto Preference file.
Quit iPhoto
Open your User folder, then open the Library in your user folder, then open the Preferences in the Library folder.
In the Preference folder is a file called com.apple.iPhoto.plist
For now, drag that file to the desktop. Launch iPhoto and see if the source window is there or if you can open the source window. If you can, that means that Preference file you dragged to the desktop was corrupt. Put it in the trash.
IPhoto made a new one when it was launched. Open iPhoto Preferences and set your preferences again and you are good to go.

  • E1200 Wireless Client List will not display and causes web UI to temporarily stop responding

    I picked up an E1200 and set it up successfully.  I am using wireless MAC filtering, and decided to pull up the list of connected wireless clients (Wireless >> Wireless MAC Filter >> push "Wireless Client List" button).
    When I do so, it immediately throws this back:
    Immediately after this the Web UI of the E1200 becomes inaccessible.  It still routes traffic, and the router remains pingable, but it will not allow access to the Web UI for several minutes.  The error that appears upon attempt to access the Web UI during this time window is similar to the above, but reads "Error 102 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED): The server refused the connection."
    I have tried this in Google Chrome, Firefox 4, and MSIE on two separate computers.  Each browser displays the error a bit differently (MSIE, for example, just says it can't display the page and gives no further detail) but the net results are always the same.  I have tried resetting the device to factory defaults in addition to re-downloading the firmware from the Cisco/Linksys website and installing it.  No improvement.
    I have also noted that the Log (Administration >> Log; and yes, I have it enabled) doesn't appear to be picking up anything at all.  In fact, the Security log, which supposedly (according to the Help) "displays the login information for the Router’s browser-based utility," is also blank.
    Is this a bug, or should I head back to the retailer and swap this device?

    Ok - I nailed this down, I think, and it looks like a firmware bug.
    Short version is that a factory reset cleared the issue, but during stepwise reconfiguration the problem came back.  Through a bunch of iteration I figured out that if I have the E1200's DHCP server disabled *and* have wireless clients connected to it, the problem I described appears.
    Turn the DHCP server back on and the problem goes away.  Turn it off and the problem comes back.  Turn it back on and it goes away.  You get the idea.
    If I had to pose a theory here, it's that the initial display of the Wireless Client List, which uses "IP Address" as the default sort, somehow implodes if the E1200 isn't actually assigning those IP addresses to the clients.
    When this happens it appears to crash the Web UI wholesale.  Just for grins, while the Web UI was unresponsive, I pinged the router it as before - still pingable - then ran nmap against it - no open ports found on the router.  When the Web UI is functional, though, nmap detects port 80 quite easily.  I have not timed how long it takes for the Web UI to come back up, but it is longer than 5 minutes, and I presume some sort of watchdog process has to detect that it has gone kaput and start it up again.
    Final test was to restore my saved configuration from before the factory reset (note that the saved config was done under the same firmware version, and in this config, the DHCP server is disabled).  Boom, problem.  Wait for the Web UI to come back, turn on the DHCP server.  Problem goes away.  Turn the DHCP server off.  Boom, problem comes back.
    So, there you go.
    Would be interesting if someone could verify this via a test against another E1200.  It may be worth noting that in my baseline test I was also using Manual wireless setup (vs. Wi-Fi Protected Setup), and WPA2.  Didn't make any other setting changes from the factory defaults.  I did not actually have to turn the Wireless MAC Filter on to do the test.  All one needs to do is click Enable on the Wireless MAC Filter tab, and then do *not* click Save Settings - just clicking Enable will light up the Wireless Client List button, which you can then push to get the list.  That is how I handled testing to ensure that neither specific entries, nor the Prevent/Permit setting, nor having the filter enabled in saved configuration were involved in the problem.
    Separately, no explanation for the lack of entries in the security log, but that pretty much looks like a firmware bug to me as well.

  • Email list will not display individual addresses and names , only name of list.

    First time user of lists. I created a new email list per help instructions-- created just fine. When I try to use it to write, no matter which methods I use, only the list name is displayed. It does send the email to all the addresses, but I want to be able to see all the individual addresses so bcc or removal etc. can be used prior to sending. Any suggestions?

    Does the list description include spaces? If so, try to use a name without spaces or replace spaces with "_", there has been a bug about this reported as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
    Several other people have sent in the similar support requests to yous, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
    The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
    Is that what you see?
    '''This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
    Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
    * While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
    * Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).
    * Downgrade to a previous version and disable automatic updates (Windows)

  • Song list will not display?

    After restoring the system on my Ipad and reloading purchased applications, the song list only appeared for a short time. I can only see the "album" cover when music is playing. None of the other soft buttons on the bottom of the screen respond; e.g. Songs, Audio Books, Albums. The screen does not respond to tapping in any area and is almost completely black except for two vertical bands on the right and left side and the song that is playing at the top. Hope you can help. Thank you.

  • Music list will not display whole page

    I have just bought a new Tower with Vista and I have downloaded iTunes 8.0 to work on it. All seems well except that when I am trying to scroll down my list of music in the main library I can only scroll the bottom 6 or 8 songs. The majority if the page is static. If I click on one of the few that do scroll then the complete page will change to what it should be. I thought maybe I had downloaded a corrupt version of iTunes so I uninstalled and reinstalled it to the same effect. I am downloading the version offered which is the 64 bit version but I am not sure if my Vista is 64 bit even though I read that all modern sales are and as mine is less than a fortnight old I assume it is? I am tempted to sort out a 32 bit version or even download a version 7 but I thought that someone here might point me in the right direction?

    Hello, can you explain, what exactly doesn't print & what exactly doesn't download?

    Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw can only be updated after the camera manufacturer has produced the camera and made it publicly available. If you are using an earlier version of Lightroom then that is your problem.

    My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas?

    Are you seeing this
    when you double click on a thumbnail file?  If so it's an indication that the file path/link between the thrumbnail and original, full sized file has been broken.  Therefore, and assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later, try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Iphoto photos will not display in iworks

    I have a new Macbook Pro with ILife with Imovie 8 and Iphoto 8. Some photos that I just scanned and imported to iphoto after using an Epson Photo Perfection scanner, will not display in imovie. They were saved in jpeg format and appear fine in my iphoto files. I have even made changes to them in iphoto and saved them to see if that helped, but they still won't display in imovie. The only problem similar to this that I could find in the discussions is when the photos are saved in RAW format. These are not. Any ideas?

    Try dropping one of the files directly from the Finder to the iMovie '08 "Project" window. If the files is accepted, then you know the compression format is good and can check things like file, event, or album names that may prevent the photos from being displayed via the iMovie '08 browser. If the file is not compatible, then iMovie will not import it and you can try "re-compressing" the files in an image application to see if they will then be recognized.

    Hylan:
    That occurs when the library has lost the link to the original file. This is a result of a damaged library database file, Library6.iPhoto. You can try rebuilding the library from within iPhoto to see if you can recover the photos by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. However, it's iffy.
    You can rebuild the library with iPhoto Library Manager as it create a new library, leaving the original one intact, by reading the AlbumData.xml file and copying what it needs. You will be able to recover the photos, albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, slideshows, and calendars will not be recovered. Here's how:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
    It that doesn't work you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • The menubar will not display in full screen

    Hi.
    I have a strange problem in fullscreen mode, on my Macbook pro 15"
    I LOVE fullscreen, and infact the next macbook I will get is the 11" air because of its size and because full screen is so nice to work with.
    But I have a strange problem which I can't find a solution for.
    Suddenly the menubar will not display it self when I move the mouse to the top of the screen. The only way I can access the menu bar is by exiting full screen (ctrl + Cmd + F) and the toggel it back on after I have used the menubar
    This actually makes fullscreen mode useless and its driving me nuts, because this should not happen on Apple software. I would expect these sorts of behaviour on windows but not in osx.
    Anybody have a hint about what to do?

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3881124?start=0&tstart=0     <<<<< GO THERE
    Try this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
