my iPhoto doesn't even open! i get same message saying it's unreadable! anybody else have this problem!?

First try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is the culprit.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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
In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    I am getting emails from itunes asking me to renew my ID with bank account, creditcard and sortcode! to much information to be credible. anybody else have this problem?

    They are not from Apple/iTunes, they are phishing attempts to try and get your account and payment details - don't click on any of the links in them.

  • Sallie Mae doesn't seem to want to grow with me. Anybody else have this problem?

    I have had my Sallie Mae card since January. They gave me a startiing limit of $500. I have done a credit limit increase request and was offered $300. I felt insulted so I declined lol. I don't understand why they aren't offering a more reasonable increase. I am below 10% utilization on all my cards with many having a 0 balance. I have no new credit lines, no new inquiries. With the limits I have on other cards, I just don't get it. I am thinking of just closing the card rather than wasting another hard pull. If I am going to do a hard pull, I would rather it be on a new card with someone else. Any opinions or ideas?

    Barclays is like Chase I've read that they combine limits pretty easily. If you are low inquries try for the nfl. They gave me 5k SL when others gave 1500. I would love to open a Sallie Mae and do this but I burned a lot of inquiries.i think Fordguy is right.... you might be better off opening another Barclays card that you mind like but not really need, and combine the limits to get a good push on your Sallie Mae Credit card.... you profile seems like it could support it. I need to get my mind checked out or something. ^^^^ This kind of stuff seems to really bother me and I can't figure out why. I know one could rationalize it as playing the game....but I am sorry...there aint a person in this world that should have to open another account with the same dang bank, combine limits, strictly for a larger CL. That is ridiculous. This should not have to happen. I would give this crazy card one last hoorah. I would use it for almost everything, pay that sucker off multiple times per week, and do this for 2 months, maybe 3. Then if they wont raise you, then just use it strictly for the rewards and only use it for gas/groceries/amazon. Leave it in your glove box. I get that OP has a limit of 10k with amex and this seems small...that would be very frustrating to me too.  I gotta say tho, I have NEVER been a fan of anything barclay until I discovered their ring. They cap their rewards WAY WAY WAY too low, the card is geared for students and maybe some more frugal spenders. I dunno I get better deals with gas gift cards and my other cards so I don't have a need for it. That ring tho, the ability to go get cash and deal with moving it around later, for a buck, that is crazy awesome! I would try to keep this card a little longer and change it to the ring once your limit is higher. But thats just me.

  • On the Washington Post website, when I try to click on an article, I get the message, "Invalid URL". I don't have this problem with other Web sites. I recently upgraded to the secure version of Firefox.

    I never had this problem before. I don't know if it's related to now having the secure (HTTPS) version of Firefox. Some WaPo links DO work, but most don't. One other thing: at least once when I Googled "The Washington Post" and clicked on the apparent result, I got a message saying that the certificate was "Not Trusted" and that legitimate Web sites did not ask me to override this issue and proceed to the site. Yet the website I'm trying to use is "www.washingtonpost.com", which I know for a fact is THE Post Website. What's going on, and how can I fix this? Thanks.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • My iphoto program will not open, I get a message "you have previously used a newer version" open with that

    my iphoto program will not open I get a message "you have used a newer program in the past use that program"  I only have the one ???

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .
    Regards
    TD

  • TS3649 Suddenly i can't export iPhoto slideshows to iDVD after upgrading to 10.8.2   I get the message "CouldNotCreateTmpDir"  What do i do to overcome this problem?

    Suddenly i can't export iPhoto slideshows to iDVD after upgrading to 10.8.2   I get the message "CouldNotCreateTmpDir"  What do i do to overcome this problem?  I've been making slideshows for ages using iPhoto and iDVD and it's suddenly stopped. Urgent help needed.

    Are you saying that you cannot export a slideshow from iPhoto to the Desktop and then drag it from the Desktop (or the Movie frolder where it can be stored) into an open iDVD menu window?
    Export the slideshow at the large or medium size:
    They drag the movie file into the open iDVD window.  NOTE: do not move the movie file once it's been added to iDVD. That's why it should be placed in folder where you intend to keep it permanently or at least until the iDVD project is completed and burned to a disk image and then to disk.
