Trying to backup one of my iPhoto libraries I keep getting a error message that basically says that the file could not be backed up because there is another file on the external drive with the same name, etc. There is no other file.

While trying to copy one of my iPhoto libraries to an external hard drive I get the following error message "You can’t copy “iPhoto Library old” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames." There is no other file on the external drive with this name. I have asked this question before and was told that there are some duplicate photos (files) in my library and I needed to go to "show file contents" and look at certain files to find duplicates and delete the duplicates. I did all of this and the library will still not copy and always stops copying in the exact same place on each attempt. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You've been deleting your actual Photos.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
Best way forward now is to recover the surviving Originals from this library and start over from scratch.

I am trying to upload my photos to iphoto. I keep receiving a error message that say "Iphoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image" What do i Do?!

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

My hard drive fried and had to be replaced. I'm trying to install CS4 from my original discs but keep getting this error message - "One or more of the required components of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard failed to install correctly". A customer service rep gave me a link to download off the Adobe site, but when I try to open the file to run it, I get this error message - "A problem occurred extracting the archive".
Can anyone help?

Yep. Nothing happens at all. Windows tries to execute the uninstaller, but I don't get any other screen and all activity stops for the MSI. I monitored it in Process Monitor and the MSI executable appears, but is quickly ended, like it couldn't find anything or something.
It's as if windows has a blank entry in Programs and Features, because it used to show the size of the Adobe application in the "Size" column. Now it's just blank. Link to screenshot below:

Note the install date. That's when I was able to successfully reinstall it. Now I can't even do that. I should also mention I tried Revo Uninstaller. It deleted one small registry key, but nothing changed.
By the way, is the CS cleaner supposed to ask for a disc in the drive when you run it? It refused to run unless I had one in it, so I used my install dvd.

How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

You need to reinstall iPhoto. To reinstall iPhoto delete the current application and, on all Macs with Snow Leopard or earlier installed, all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
HD/Library/Receipts folder (10.5 and earlier)
or from the /var/db/receipts/ folder (10.6) .
Deleting receipts is not necessary if your Mac came with Lion or later preinstalled.
Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally.

Hi Terry, A post is the message that anyone has just typed in. When you replied to me, that was your post. I am replying to you so this is my post. Think of it as sending an email or mailing a letter at the "post" office.
Now right at the top of the last post (message) you sent me is a Post#, then the date and time and under that the thread subject "Re: I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player 10 and I keep getting......
The first time that you posted, you described your problem. The next post after that is #1 and so on.
The Adobe Flash Player forum works very much like email except there are a lot of "threads". A thread is what each message you see is called. Everyone that registers can start their own thread (subject). Then other people see it and can post to your thread and try to help you with your problem.
You did pretty good, you registered, and you started your first thread
Now do you feel somewhat more relaxed? Hope so.
Take a look now and see if you can find the Post# and etc that I described above.
Thanks,
eidnolb

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

I am trying to access a website for my business and keep getting this error message when logging in: (Error code: ssl_error_access_denied_alert). Help!

How do I fix this error code? Everything that I have searched and tried to do did not help. Tech support is unsure how to handle this error message either for this something they have not really had to deal with. Any insights would be greatly appreciated on how to handle this error code and clear it out. Thank you!

When synching my 4th gen ipod touch I get error msg saying ipod could not be backed up because session could not be started with the ipod. It only does synch steps 2-5. Do I have to restore it?

When synching by 4th gen ipod touch it skips the first step - backup-, does steps 2 through 5, then I get a message the ipod could not be backed up because a session could not be started with the ipod. How do I fix this? Do I have to restore my ipod? Will all my apps be erased?

You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes. When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

The form could not be certified, possibly because of your password timeout policy

I am obtaining an error while attempting to distribute a form signed with a digital ID. I can't find any documentation or discussion threads to resolve the problem.
Specifically, while attempting to distribute the signed form in Adobe Acrobat X, the progress bar gets halfway before presenting the following pop-up error window:
The form could not be certified, possibly because of your password timeout policy. Please temporarily set the password timeout for this digital ID to "Never" or "Once per session" (in Advanced > Security Settings > Digital ID Files), and try distributing the form again.
After cancelling distribution, the Javascript debug window pops up with the following error:
General Error: Operation failed.
Field.signatureSigr: 0:
Operation not permitted
I have distributed this form before using the same method without error. Sometime in the last week, this error appeared, suggesting to me that perhaps the password for the digital ID, created in the last few weeks for testing purposes, had expired.
In any case, I went through the suggested fix of going into Security Settings, and then set the password timeout for the digital ID to "Never". No problem. I then attempted again to distribute the form, but continue to obtain the same error.
This is a form created in Livecycle ES2. The client would like to implement trusted Javascript functions - specifically, automatically saving the PDF with a live "production" editable version, along with flattened "secure" versions that can't be altered, and I would like to export the data to XML to make it easier to import data to SQL Server.
All well and good. I've done my homework on this stuff, and I was able to make it work. After a couple of weeks passed, it would no longer work. I don't remember changing any settings, because I was waiting for the client's IT department to drop the Javascript file containing the trusted functions in the Adobe Program Files folder on the server where this will work. In fact, I just walked through the same process of distributing a form on that server, and it worked. It just isn't working on my development machine.
What's up with this? Anyone have a clue? I've run out of ideas, thinking that I might just uninstall and reinstall Acrobat X.
I'd appreciate an assist.
Thanks,
Brian D

I just moved this to the Acrobat Forms forum because (unfortunately) it went unanswered for two months previously in the Security & Electronic Signatures forum. The issue persists.

Could not complete your request because an adjustment or fill layer cannot be converted to the desti

Getteing the following message when dragging layers between files - Could not complete your request because an adjustment or fill layer cannot be converted to the destination document mode. Original file was client created and supplied. I have issolated the issue- two hue/saturation adjustment layers. I can and will just recreate them in the new file, but am looking for a root casue or long termsolution as it is a new client I believe will be sending me a good amount of production work.

Actually, 16-bit mode (some filters work in 8-bit only, though) is recommended to reduce the introduction of posterization which can easily arise with the relatively low precision of 8-bit mode. It doesn't benefit all work, but, especially if you use adjustments or low-opacity brushes, it's something to consider.
