Leopard refuses to "see" iPhoto, even when it's running.

I'm having an iPhoto problem with Leopard that is different than the ones I was able to find so far. I did an upgrade install from OS 10.4 and had iPhoto 6.0.6 installed. After upgrading, iPhoto is still there, it still runs and my photos are all fine.
BUT, the features in Leopard that are supposed to use iPhoto refuse to see my library!
- In Mail.app, when I try to open the Photo Browser while composing a message and select iPhoto, it gives me a message saying "Open iPhoto 5 or later to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list."
- In Preferences > Screen saver, when I choose Pictures Folder and Mosaic, the preview window says "You must have an iPhoto library to run the mosaic screen saver."
- In iTunes, when I tell it to sync photos from my iPhoto library to my 5g iPod, I get an error upon syncing that says "The iPod 'Icarus' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)", but it syncs fine if I tell it to sync pictures from a folder instead.
- In iChat, the "Share iPhoto with iChat Theater" option is always greyed out, but I can share photos from folders.
These problems occur regardless of if iPhoto is open or closed. I have about 270 photos in my library. The files are located in Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library. The only iPhoto plugin I have installed is the Picasa Web Albums uploader.
Any ideas?

I decided to install iLife '08 and updated iPhoto to 7.0. After doing that, it resolved all of those problems, but the error messages I previously had indicate that iPhoto versions below that should work.

Cannot download OSX Maverick? My current system is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and even when logged into the app store I'm getting the message that I can not download at this time. Try Later?

Are you connected via wifi? If so, and it is an option, try connecting using a ethernet cable. It sometimes seems to help as it can give a more reliable connection for the 5.3gb download.
If you do manage to download it you may want to make a copy of the installer file - which gets downloaded to the Applications folder - before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. It may save you another monster download in the future.

I told my wireless network to forget two airport expresses so that I could rename them. Now the network does not see them even when plugged in about 10 feet away from the airport extreme base station. Does "forget" mean forever? How to reset?

I told my wireless network to forget two airport expresses 1 1st gen, 1 2nd gen so that I could rename them. Now the network does not see them even when plugged in about 10 feet away from the airport extreme base station. The network does recognize a totally new 2nd gen express. Does "forget" mean forever? How to reset?

The network does recognize a totally new 2nd gen express.
Then, it sounds like you have already reset the 2nd Gen Express, and now you need to set it up again, like you did the first time. Only, this time, assign the device name that you want to the AirPort Express.
Do NOT use the name that Apple suggests.....which will be something goofy like........Sueswimsf's Red Apple AirPort Express
Assign a simple name.....something like 2ndGenExpress

IPhone 5S now shutting off display, even when apps are running?

Hi guys,
I've had my iPhone 5S since it released (and a 4S before that since its release), and just today I noticed that my iPhone 5S is automatically shutting off its screen after a handful of minutes when plugged in and charging.
My iPhones have never done this before. I have an alarm clock app, and leave that running 100% of the time when my phone is plugged in since it shows a clock on the display, and I prefer that to a blank, powered-off screen. However, just this morning I noticed that it shut off overnight (never did that before), and now -- even when I'm watching it to see if anything happens, it shuts off.
Something weird did happen this morning though: when my phone alarm woke me up, I noticed my phone was just randomly loading apps, regardless of my input. I shut it off and turned it on again, and then it stopped doing that. This likely has something to do with the new phone display issue.
I can't find a specific setting on the phone or anything that would cause it to do this. Any ideas? I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi, no idea what you tried, but...
Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & the Wakeup/Startup right after that for clues.

Admin server can't see session info when app is running in cluster

All,
          We have 3 servers running WL6.0 sp1, 1 is running the admin server and the
          other 2 are running as part of a cluster.
          We have a web application that has been deployed to the cluster and is set
          for PersistantStoreType equal to replicated.
          Enable session monitoring is set.
          If one of the servers in the cluster is running and we connect to the admin
          server we can see both the servelet and session statistics for the
          application.
          If both servers are up and running, we can see the servelet statistics for
          both servers but the session information is always 0.
          Is this a bug or is there something else we need to have set.
          Thanks
          Eric

Firefox 12 crashes my OSX 10.7.4 system, even when Firefox is running in Safe Mode

Firefox 12 crashes unexpectedly. The whole OSX system hangs for unknown behaviors, i.e. opening new tab, selecting link, refreshing page, changing tab. It is non-specific or non-apparent. I also have frequent spinning color disks...sometimes they don't go away and the next mouse click hangs the system necessitating a hard reset.
My configuration:
Macbook Air, OSX 10.7.4, Firefox 12
I have one add-in: One Password 3.8.19. I have disabled this by running Firefox in safe mode but this has not helped.
My typical open application set is: Outlook 2011, Mail and Firefox (with multiple pinned app tabs). Sometimes I have VMWare Fusion 4.1.2 open running a Windows 7 VM but this is not correlated to the crashes.
I was using Trend Micro Smart Surfing for Mac and thought this might be the cause so I stopped running it. This had no positive impact so I conclude that it was not part of the problem.
My system knows it has crashed since following a hard reset, it reopens my previously open windows but no crash report is created or offered.
Safari does not crash the system.

I originally posted that, if you are able to run in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] but disabling your single Firefox extension doesn't help, the problem could be hardware acceleration, which you can turn off in your Firefox [[Options window - Advanced panel|Advanced preferences]], General tab. Ref: [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
However, after re-reading your post, you said that the problem still occurs in Firefox Safe Mode. If Firefox is crashing or closing unexpectedly, there are some possible solutions here:

The only other suggestion would be to go through the [[Basic Troubleshooting]] steps.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Try to import the photos from the mobile devices to test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Seeing multiple iPhoto libraries when I click on the iPhoto icon in the dock?

I can't figure out why I am seeing multiple iPhoto libraries when I click on the iPhoto icon in my dock. I am running Lion on an early 2008 MacBook Pro (4 GB RAM), and when I click and hold on the iPhoto icon in the dock, it brings up a dialog box. From top to bottom, this is what I see:
iPhoto Library
iPhoto LIbrary
iPhoto Library
Options
Show Recents
Open
I can't figure out why it shows three iPhoto libraries when I only have one on my computer. I've tried deleting the icon from the dock and then putting it back in the dock, but it still shows three libraries for some reason. If I search for iPhoto in spotlight search or in finder, it only shows one iPhoto (in the applications folder). Any help on how to resolve this weird issue would be much appreciated!

I have the same issue. I see four iPhoto libraries when I right click on the iPhoto icon in the dock, but I only actually have two libraries. The other two simply do not exist on my computer. And when I click on the libraries that do not exist, obviously nothing happens. In the image, only the bottom two libraries are actual photo libraries. The top two do not exist.
I have relaunched Finder, restarted the computer, and even restored the entire computer from my Time Machine backup. Nothing changes. No matter what I try, the non existent iPhoto libraries continue to be present when I right click the iPhoto icon in the dock. BTW, there are only two iPhoto libraries in the pictures folder.
This is very frustrating and annoying.

I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto: "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?

iPhoto 08?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Hi...
Delete both apps using this utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
That will delete the apps and all associated files.
Then re download the apps. That will download the most recent version updates included.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

If you have iPhoto '09, you cannot browse or restore seleted items from your backups. See the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
Mail should work, however, per the blue box there.
