70 photos that aren't there, but iPhoto and Bridge say they are

I have an iPhone (first gen) that has a problem. When I plug the iPhone into the computer that it always syncs with, I am unable to get the photos to display correctly in iPhoto.
The computer thinks there are 70 photos on the iPhone that are no longer on the phone.
Both iPhoto and Adobe Bridge report the photos as being on the iPhone. However, those photos are not there. And can't be downloaded or deleted.
But when I plug the same iPhone into a different machine, I see the correct photos and can delete them correctly.
I'm sure there's just some plist that has to be deleted, but I don't know what.

Hi Mary,
Try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
Also, make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the cable that came with it. Then disconnect any other USB devices.
Do the photos show up in the Image Capture? You can find Image Capture in the Applications folder, just launch Finder and click Go(top menu bar)> Applications> Image Capture.
If they don't try rebuilding the iPhoto library as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638

I paid early termination fee two months ago to Verizon and am now out of the country. Am trying to unlock the phone but the local guys say they are not able to. I see from the blog here that iPhone 5 comes unlocked. Is it true?? Do I still have to unlock.

Thank you for reaching out to us, Texasman. Sad to see that
you have left the VZW family, but it is definitely awesome to be able to
travel! Regarding your iPhone 5, the phone is unlocked for international usage.
Just need an active local SIM card that is compatible with your iPhone. Your local provider
may need to configure some settings under Cellular, but it should pick up signal. Just in
case, make sure that Settings>Cellular>Roaming>Voice & Data are
active.

My iMac is very picky about any dirt or smudges on the DVD.

It's possible that the DRM (digital rights management) disallows you to port those movies onto a TV. What app are you using? Some apps are 'ipad only' and will not push out to another screen.

Both my macbook and iphone say they are aware of each other, but they won't connect. Help!!

Pictures not showing up in iPhoto - though it says they are there

I've got a roll that says it has 22 items in it - 5 movies and the rest photos. ONLY the movies show up. If I go into the actual folder in the Finder the photos are there. Any idea why they aren't visible in iPhoto? All of the other rolls are working fine.
thanks!

Any idea why they aren't visible in iPhoto?
Two possibilities:
They weren’t imported properly
or
They were and your database is damaged.
In the first scenario: drag them to the desktop and try import them again. In the second:
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 allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
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 on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll 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.
Standard Warning: 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 or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

Songs won't show on iphone5 but itunes on Mac says they are there.

Hi guys,
On my iTunes on my Mac it shows that there are songs and playlists on my iphone (both when usb plugged in and on wifi) but on the actual device they won't show. Only about 10 songs show up. There is plenty of storage space on the device and they were there before but disappeared after an update. I've tried re-syncing and dragging them over manually but nada. Some of the playlists show but are empty on the device. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi HeyBayLondon!
It sounds like you may want to try restoring your phone and then re-syncing the content from your computer to see if the information will show up after that procedure. Information on doing that can be found right here:

My ipod touch is telling me that the skype and twitter apps need updating. When I try to run them they fail. I have tried deleting the apps via itunes but it doesn't work and I have tried updating the apps via itunes and it says they are updated.

My ipod touch is telling me that the Skype and Twitter apps need updating. When I try to update them they both fail. I have tried numerous times. I have tried connecting the ipod to itunes and removing the apps, to reload them but that does not work either. If I try and update the apps through itunes the system tells me they are updated. Can anyone assist please?

- Try a reset. It cures amny ills
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Have you tried deleting them from the iPod and then redownloading them dorectly to the iPod?

Movies that aren't there but are taking up space

I've just moved my files to my new MacBook Air. All is going well, apart from when I check the storage in About This Mac, it reports that I have 21G + of movies. I don't. Anybody know how I can correct this, or find out where these movies might be?

try OmniDiskSweeper

On my mac i accidentally deleted all my documents and now i cant play my songs from itunes but can on my phone and my photos are there but when i open them they are not but i can see some on my iphone but not all. How do i get these back or are they lost?

Can i get this stuff back or it lost forever.....

At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

How do i make a photo that i have stored in iPhotos and make it my desktop picture

I am brand new to Apple, track pads, etc., so please be kind when you answer this question ! How do I make a picture that is stored on the computer in the photos and make it my desktop full size picture to look at instead of the outerspace picture that comes loaded on the computer.
Thank you for all your help!! I have a desktop full size mac computer with the new Lion software.

It doesn't have Desktop as one of the options in the Share it shows Order Prints, Mobile Me Gallery, Flickr,Facebook, and Email as the options, now what !

No updates on iPhoto and iMovie, says they were purchased on another account; I only have the one.

I just received my new MacBook Pro 13, and while updating software and installing Office and Acrobat, found that I could not update iMove or iPhoto, because they were purchased under a different account. I've only ever had one apple ID, and iMovie and iPhoto were, of course, preloaded. How can I update these two apps?

With a new Mac, you must first sign into your Mac App Store account and go to the Purchases pane and accept the preinstalled iLife suite of apps as part of the initial setup. Only after you have taken that step can you update those apps.

TS5325 I have already purchased all the instruments but my app is saying they are not available. I have clicked already purchased but it says I need to login as original user???? Any ideas.

I have already purchased the full set of GarageBand instruments but the app is no longer recognising this. I have clicked on already purchased as it suggests in troubleshooting however it then says it can't install because I need to login as the original user??? Please help.

Are you signed into the AppStore with the same Apple ID you used when you originally bought GarageBand and the in-app purchase? If yes, then contact the iTunes Store, see:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase

HT4949 I have upgraded my system to Mac OS X 10.6.8 and it says they are no other upgrade available. How can I upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 from there ? One of my sofware requires it...

Any help would be welcome....

Open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.
