iPhoto library is on external HDD
I was in a slideshow, with around 1,911 photos in it. About halfway through, my Macbook ran out of battery. Now when I restarted and charged the Macbook and reopened iPhoto, the slideshow won't advance through photos, and I can't figure out any reason why it would do this.
I thought it may be corrupted, so I deleted and reinstalled iPhoto library, iPhoto itself, and disconnected and reconnected my external HDD.
This didn't work, the photos still won't advance.
I don't know any reason why this would be happening, and there is ample space on my internal drive.
I'm happy to provide more information if needed!
Many Thanks,
James
Make a few tests, James, to narrow down the problem and find out, if the slideshow is corrupted, your iPhoto Library, or settings in your account.
To test, if only your slideshow has a problem, create a new slideshow, just for testing. Just use "File > New Slideshow" and add a few photos. Does this slideshow play correctly?
If the test slideshow does not play either, create a new iPhoto Library. Use the File menu in iPhoto: File > Switch to library > Create New. Import a few photos and create a slideshow. Does it play?
If even a new library does not solve the problem, test in a different user account (see this document: Isolating an issue by using another user account - Apple Support):
This process involves creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue.
Create a new standard or admin user account in Users & Groups preferences.
Use these instructions for OS X Mavericks.
See these instructions for OS X Mountain Lion.
See this video, or these instructions for OS X Lion.
Optional: If you have any specific files you wish to test with, copy (don't move) those items to the /Users/Shared folder in the Finder.
Log out of your current user account by choosing Log Out from the Apple () menu.
Log in with the new account you created.
Attempt to reproduce the issue you were seeing in your regular user account.
After you have completed testing, log out of the test account by choosing Log Out from the Apple () menu.
Log in as your regular account.
After you have completed all testing with the test user account, you may want to delete it. You can delete an account in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.
Note: Prior to deleting a test account, make sure you are completely done with it. If you have files in the Guest User you wish to keep, you should copy them to the /Users/Shared folder .
If you should find, that slideshows only play in a new user account, post back.

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

I've moved my iPhoto library to an external HDD, I was wondering if now it has been moved outside of my iMac whether Timemachine will still back up my photos, or do I have to change any timemachine preferences to accomodate such a change, any responses will be welcomed-thankyou!
Thanks, Linc, you are the greatest!
So I moved my iTunes library to my external disk. When I checked Time Machine's Excluded list it was not there. Then I entered TM and saw that the library had been backed up from the external disk. So all is well and apparently the OS guys stopped adding external drives to the Excluded list. -
my battery drains even when iphone is not being used. It is a relatively new phone and this battery draining just started and I can't figure out why????
Yes, thank you. My apologies, I was typing one handed and did not add that.
Anyway, I have tried deleting the cache, deleting my pics and then re-syncing, etc. and nothing is working This is very frustrating, as I had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, I have this issue......UGH! -
I have a verizon IPhone and i can't figure out how to get my ringtones from the app to iTunes, my account doesn't have a ringtone section in the liRingtone Folder?brary, how do you enable the ringtone folder?
Edit > Preferences. Select the check box for Ringtones, this will add them to the listing in iTunes.
Not sure that really answers your question though. -
My IPhones total life time calls is at 4,924,000,00 and I can't figure out if this is a glitch because I know that I have DEFIANTLY not called for that long I don't know if this will be resolved but someone PLEASE HELP
Glad it helped!
For what it's worth, I suspect you'd have to restore the phone as new to resolve the issue. If it were mine, I'd probably elect to live with the weirdness rather than go through the fuss of a restore.
Best of luck. -
My podcast isn't updating and I can't figure out why, please help?
Hi everyone,
I'm at my wits end and I can't figure out what's wrong with my podcast in regards to iTunes.
We have a website we update that originally iTunes was pointed at (http://www.whydaddydrinks.net/?feed=rss2) and then iTunes started having issues with not updating. Recently we tried changing the feed of the podcast to the RSS feed for our podcast hosting account at Podbean (http://whydaddydrinks.podbean.com/feed/) and it's running into the same issue.
I've checked FeedValidator for both feeds and they're fine (http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.whydaddydrinks.net%2F%3F feed%3Drss2 and http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwhydaddydrinks.podbean.com%2 Ffeed%2F). I've clicked the links to the .mp3 files and they play off the web, so, in theory, there shouldn't be any issue as far as I know; Episode 13 shows up in iTunes but dosn't appear to be connected to the file and Season 2 Episode 1 doesn't show up at all.
Can any of you offer any suggestions as to what the heck is going on?Your Store page is at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/your-book-is-why-daddy-drinks/id515363310?mt =2
This is using the feed at http://www.whydaddydrinks.net/?feed=rss2 so the other feed URL you posted is irrelevant.
This feed has episodes up to 13 which contain playable media, and these all show in the Store and when subscribing. However the URL for the media file for episode 13 is
http://media40.podbean.com/pb/89ea6f327345e33833ff09885e48b8a1/50e904db/data2/bl ogs48/462271/uploads/YBIWDD_Episode13.mp3
and there is no file at this address. The previous episode downloads OK.
This feed contains two later episodes but neither has an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of a media file and so the episodes don't show in iTunes. You are using WordPress to make your feed, and this problem arises a lot - it presumably means that you have failed to do something you need to do in WordPress to get the media file into the feed, but I can't advise on specifics of WordPress.
The other feed has one of these two episodes, and there the latest episode does have an 'enclosure' tag and the episode appears when subscribing manually; however as I say this feed is not in use by the Store.
So you need to do with the original feed whatever it was you did with the new feed to get the episode into the Store, and you need to chase the missing media file for episode 13.
If you want to move the Store to using the Podbean feed you need to follow the procedure outlined here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
Note that the title in the Podbean feed is 'whydaddydrinks' which many not be what you want. -
I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?
Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to my iTunes. I goal is to get my iPod filled with the music that I have stored on my iPhone and figured the only way to do so is to use iTunes as my transfer hub. Any suggestions?
Wow you're kind of a iTunes bully. Dude the reason I am asking for advice and help is I am completely computer ********. If I knew the answer I wouldn't be asking. Anyways. Question to anyone else.
If I have no music on my iTunes at all and no music on my computer, hard drive or any other version of storage yet there is a playlist on my iPhone. While my iPhone is plugged into my PC and my iTunes is up, is there a way to swap my playlist from my iPhone to my iTunes? Directly? Without downloading some new media source or backing up my old media source from my history. The reason everything was deleted (iTunes and media source) was due to the size of everything and space it was requiring. I am simply trying to get 233 songs from A to B.
I have tried magic but it is not working.

Hello:
I am new to IPods. I have a Classic 160GB and I can't figure out how to load Music Videos to iTunes or the IPod. I have had no problem loading my CD's to iTunes and to the IPod, but no go on the Music Videos.
Please Help
maxsdadB-Rock:
Ok. Here's the results. I tried all the music videos I wanted to put onto the IPod and the results were:
I was able to get good results with 2 full length music videos and 2 video singles(only 2 videos on each disk). For a total of 4 videos.
I was able to encode 5 full length music videos, but the results were distorted (video and audio).
I was unable to copy 2 full length videos due to error failures. 1 was a "No Title Found" error, the other was a "NAVDAT" error.
I guess my next question is: Do you know of any other program(s) that I might try, to see if I can get good results with the videos that didn't work with Handbrake?
Thanks again for all your help.

How do I re-download podcasts? My external hard drive failed and I can't figure out how to download them again in the updated iTunes.
The Time Capsule drive is a network drive. You have to mount it on the desktop before you will be able to drag/drop files onto the disk. More tips are in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17312017#17312017
.....and then delete them from the Mac to free up space?
The Time Capsule was designed for your backups.
If you move a file to the Time Capsule drive and delete the file from your Mac.....you have no backup.
Your only copy of the file will be on the Time Capsule drive. I would only do this with files that I could afford to lose.
All drives fail. When.....not if....the Time Capsule drive has a problem, you will lose your data. -

I'll guess that you're upgrading from Snow Leopard? You should be able to start using your original install dvd by inserting the disc and restarting while holding the C key. Run Disk Utility from your install disc and try to repair the drive. Then try the upgrade again.
