A FIX for iPhoto 11 opening older libraries

Had the same problem everyone else has had. Then I was thunk in the forehead by an obvious trick. I use iPhoto Library manager. I opened IPLM and and clicked on the icon for creating a NEW LIBRARY (upper left corner of IPLM screen). I named it TestLibrary. I then launched this new file from within IPLM -- and iPhoto 11 (v 9.1) opened! That is, the app opened with a new library that contained no pictures. I dragged a couple of test jpg's into the library. Then I quit and reopened TestLibrary several times, to make sure I wasn't counting my chickens too soon. TestLibrary opened fine each time. I then quit IPLM and went directly to my picture libraries in the Pictures folder and launched them from the finder. EACH AND EVERYONE OPENED! They not only opened but iPhoto 11 performed the "update" function very quickly, even on the larger libraries. Again, I quit and reopened the files several times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
I suspect the IPLM manager may be partially culpable. I note that many people who posted this problem also use IPLM.
FYI: I figured out this fix while standing here at a counter in my local Apple Store (Leawood, KS). The floor sales rep who tried to help me earlier -- a cute and very friendly blonde with a killer smile -- had no idea about the iPhoto problem. But she was very kind and took my emil address and set me up for a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow. I'm looking all over the store now for her. nowto share my success -- but she has wandered off. Rats. She really is cute; I'm single. Which is none of your business. Where was I? Oh yeah. Before Ms. Cute saleswoman wandered off and aftyr my heart rate returned to normal, I decided to experiment a little more. That's when I came up with the idea of using IPLM to create a blank new file. Getting ready to leave now. ..... NEW UPDATE: I finally spotted the very nice (and very cute) Apple saleswoman who had been helping me. Some other customer was flirting with her, pretending that he didn't know a thing about his new laptop. Rightttttt... I interrupted and asked her for a dance. Just kidding. I told her I had fixed my iPhoto libraries. She smiled, nodded, said "GREAT!" I melted. I offered to hang around a few minutes in case she wanted to come over and see how I fixed iPhoto. While waiting for her I thought I should type this and post it on the Forum. The very nice (and BEYOND cute) saleswoman still hasn't stopped by yet. I will wait a few more minutes. I'm in love. But the store is very busy. I will wait a few more minutes. I am realllly in love. Did I mention she was cute and very polite? Gotta go now. Perhaps Ms. Cuteness and I will meet in another time, place or dimension. After all, she has my name an email address. Maybe she'll send an email later and ask me for a date — strictly for professional and technical information purposes, of course; to find out how I fixed the iPhoto problem so that she can share it with other staff and customers. She probably won't, which means other Mac owners who wander in today with the same iPhoto problem will also fall in love with Ms. Cute but they won't learn a darn thing about my iPhoto fix. That kind of customer relations conduct would normally make me very angry. But nothing is normal anymore. It's hard to be angry when you're madly in love. -- David

iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -
Update 10/24: I released a quick 3.5.8 update yesterday, which doesn’t yet provide full iPhoto ‘11 compatibility, but does provide a couple improvements for iPhoto ‘11 users, including a fix for those experiencing the issue of being unable to reopen a library after upgrading it to the new iPhoto version. If you have such a library, simply open the library up via iPLM, and you should be prompted by iPhoto to upgrade the library again. Once it’s complete, you should then be able to close and reopen the library normally.

Is there a fix for modal dialogs opening behind palettes -cs6 -osx 10.6.8

Is there a fix for modal dialogs open behind palettes in
Photoshop cs6 13.0 (createive cloud update) + OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro?
( I am using 2 monitors where the second monitor is set to be the menu display. cs4 does not exhibit this bug. )
Toggling the Application Frame off improves the hiding 'feature' but this does not include the desired continuous floating in front of palettes in all circumstances.
An example is Blending Options, then chose Stroke, then chose the Color Picker. After clicking OK, the Blending Options dialog now sits behind the palettes. One trick is to click on another app, then back to cs6 to force a window redraw.
It sure would help me if this could be solved. I am preparing educational videos and this display bug makes things very troublesome.
Thanks for any help. If I find a solution, I will post to this thread so everyone can benefit.

The setting for the graphics check box Does Not make a difference. If I have a new document window open, then add a layer, then open the blending options > drop shadow > edit the color > the chooser dialog opens, and immediately both dialog windows drop behind the palettes AND any document windows.
The same behavior for the Preferences dialog > guides > color.
The quick workaround is to click another app, then back to CS6. A real pain, of course.
It is only a factor when opening a second (child) dialog box.
Other CS6 apps do work correctly (eg. FW AE)
I have yet to get a handle on this. Mac OSX 10.6.8 CS6 13.0 x64
Thanks for your replies, and the long reply time for me was a vaction away from the office.

Fix for iPhoto lost thumbnails on an external drive

I've had a few times when iPhoto seems to have lost all my thumbnails and pictures. I finally figured out what caused it and how to solve it. I thought others might be interested.
The problem occurs because of 2 things:
1. I store my iPhoto Library on an external drive.
2. While running iPhoto, the external drive becomes disconnected by mistake (usually because I kick the power cord)
I found that the problem is that iPhoto still tries to write the library files to the same location as it used to be. In order to fix the problem, you just need to remove the files that were created accidently. Here are the steps I used for iPhoto '06 and Max OS X 10.3.9 on an eMac. I'm guessing they'll work with other versions, but have not tested them.
0. Quit iPhoto. Make sure you have a current back-up of all your files (don't you always
1. Write down the name of the drive where you store your iPhoto library on the external drive:
I'll use <drive> in the remainder of this description. Replace that text with the name you just wrote down.
2. Open the "Terminal" inside "Applications/Utilities/"
3. Type "cd /Volumes". This is where Mac connects external drives to your UNIX filesystem. "cd" means "change directory" to the "/Volumes" drive.
4. Type "ls". You should see the name of your drive there. "ls" means "list" the contents.
5. Eject the <drive> from you Mac via the Trash Can and turn it off as normal.
6. Type "ls". Normally your drive should disappear from this listing. However, you'll notice that the drive still appears there. The problem is that there are really 2 directories there, one gets over-written when you attach an external drive. But having 2 causes lots of problems.
7. With the drive off, you want to move the 2nd directory out of the way. To do this, you will need to become a root user for a moment. This is done with the "sudo" which means "switch user and do something then switch back". The first time you use it in a terminal you will be required to type the administrator password. It's a very powerful command, but keeps you from getting into the wrong mode forever.
8. Type "sudo mv '<drive>' '<drive>.wrong'". This switches users, "moves" the bad directory to another directory name (ie. rename for UNIX). Make sure to use the single quote (') in case the name of your drive has spaces in it.
This doesn't remove the bad files, just moves them out of the way. That way if this doesn't work, you can just move it back with the reverse command "sudo mv '<drive>.wrong' '<drive>'".
9. Now turn your drive back on.
10. Type "ls". Your <drive> should now re-appear in this listing.
11. Restart iPhoto. It may ask you to locate the Library again.
Please note that these instructions are only provided to help other users running into the same problem. Also, I am not responsible for any lost data by following these instructions.
Also, if anyone finds this doesn't work, or has way to improve these steps, please feel free to post a reply.

It would be much easier if you make frequent backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and when you have a disconnect like you did, just replace the damaged file with the backup version. It is important to have a "recent" backup so you can get back where you were. So I've created an Automator application that will copy the file to the Pictures folder, label it orange, any time you click on it. So you can backup after any import, or work on a book, slideshow,etc. You don't need to close iPhoto to do it. Just don't be writing the the database file. You can download the application at Toad's Cellar.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Fix for RAM removable Open Firmware Password?

Hello people from Apple Discussions,
I have a burning question that has been tormenting me for years.
Mac OSX is branded as supposedly the safest operating system around today.
What completely astounds me though is that any user password can be quickly hacked, by booting into the Single User Mode where you immediately gain root access.
In my search for a fix I have come across semi-solutions like:
"install an open firmware password!"
I felt relieved, reassured and assumed my problem was solved.
Unfortunately this is bloody useless because one could remove a RAM module and voila! Gone is the Open Firmware Password.
What alternative (other than to permanently glue to ram module in place) is there to this security hole that exists today?
Thank you all very much for reading.
I hope this gets fixed, for the sake of all mac users.
Very Kind regards,
Luuc.

I don't believe Open Firmware passwords are stored in RAM. I believe it's an electrically programmable EAROM. Pulling a RAM module shouldn't affect the security of the computer.
You can take it to ridiculous levels. What's to stop someone from just removing the disk drives? If someone has physical access to your computer then they can get into it and see anything that's not encrypted.

Fix for iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite

After upgrading to Yosemite I was unable to open iPhoto. I moved it to Trash (do NOT empty trash after moving it here!!!) - then go to App Store and download iPhoto. You'll want to make sure you then go to your Finder and click on the iPhoto download app in order to complete the download. When you open iPhoto it may say you need to upgrade - go ahead and do so then your photos will appear again with a new icon in your dock (remove the old one since it won't work now - the new icon will look different if you had an older version of iPhoto).
Hope this helps!

Ok so here's what you gonna do. (had this problem myself today, and after some fiddling figured out what to do.)
Find your old iPhoto with a cross through it, right-click it and select 'show package contents'. A folder will open. In that folder go to Contents>MacOS and there will be three little things there. Click on the one called 'iPhoto' and terminal will open. Leave terminal open and wait four seconds and VOILA! iPhoto opens. Leave terminal open until you are finished with iPhoto, because if you close terminal, iPhoto will close with it. THX! ENJOY! Hope it works.
P.S.
You can close terminal once you close iPhoto. I also suggest backing up your iPhoto library while you can.

Is there a fix for iphoto 11 book crashes

I made the HUGE mistake of upgrading to iLife 11 and now iPhoto refuses to allow me to use the book makeing feature. The second I attempt to make a book from an exsisting album or edit books from a current project, it crashes. I have done all the usual things. Yes, ALL OF THEM. Yes, that too. Since I can't seem to uninstall the whole thing.
I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 and there is no /var/db/receipts folder where I can delete the package contents. If any one knows where to locate this, I would appreciate the heads up.
Considering the sheer lack of customer accountability that Apple is famous for I'm not expecting to get anything out of this post from an actual Apple developer. That would be lottery ticket kind of maddness, no. I'm holy hoping some smart super-user will take pity on this advance/intermediate Mac-girl and help me either thwart my iPhoto issues or help me rid my system of this piece of S*&^t.
Thanks

Apply the fix below:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.

Known fixes for crash upon opening do not fix the issue

Browser will not load, fixes from support page that apply do not rectify the issue. Am not well-versed enough to know if what I'm seeing in the report (crash ID below) is telling me what's going on. Can't even open Profile Manager without the same crash message appearing instead.

Thank you so much, for once in my computer life I knew what the problem was, what caused it, why it was caused, what it did, what it made it do and most importantly how to fix it and to do it correctly and expeditiously. I can not Thank You all enough for all of the help! I also have Pogo mailed this to all on my friends list, where they have all learned as I have and have fixed theirs also. and the message is being spread.

"A Fix For iTUNES Not Opening"

Well, after trying to figure out what was going on with iTunes not opening at all. It turns out that by default for some reason Windows Xp Firewall disables it from opening it. iTunes however is acting like a server for the simple fact that you exchange data between your computer and iTunes Store. Since there is no option to force this connection to happen, you have to get ZoneAlarm to do so. I’m using ZoneAlarm Suite Edition, but it also works with the free Edition of ZoneAlarm. So what ZoneAlarm does is actually enables the connection between your computers data (iTunes) and iTunes servers to connect.
So first off make sure that you uninstall any Anti-Virus program so that only ZoneAlarm is installed/Running. Run ZoneAlarm and once that’s achieved you then go ahead and run iTunes. You will then be prompted twice, the first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click Yes) and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click yes again). Once that’s done, you will see iTunes runs again. You can also uninstall ZoneAlarm and you will see that iTunes will still open even after ZoneAlarm is Uninstalled. I will see if I can make a .reg file so that you don’t have to install ZoneAlarm to make iTunes open again, but then again it wouldn’t hurt having ZoneAlarm installed since ZoneAlarm is a great tool.
Here's A direct link to the Free ZoneAlarm: http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/1001cnet_zdnet/zlsSetup_61_737_000en.exe
I’m sure this will work for anyone clicking the iTunes icon and getting nothing after a sec of the hour-glass disappearing and also seeing that iTunes.exe disappears in the Task Manager. So the chances of this working are high and once again since its free it wont hurt to try. Thank you again for your attention. And if anyone needs help let me know, and I would appreciated it if you can leave a reply and let me know how it turned out, weather or not iTunes opened. Thank You.-Michael R.
Shuttle XPC SS56V30 Windows XP Pro

Just A Correction. In The Line ....The first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click Yes) and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click yes again)...
Instead of "Click Yes" its supposed to be "Click Allow".

Bug fix for can not open notification center, missing OneDrive functionality and missing standard pins from quick access

(this post was previously titled: Quick Access: Anoying extra navigation to browse to desktop etc. - User space should be under Quick Access - please relocate or add such an option to move Desktop, Documents etc. to be listed under Quick Accesss)
Quick Access: Anoying extra navigation to browse to desktop etc. - User space should be under Quick Access - please relocate or add such an option to move Desktop, Documents etc. to be listed under Quick Access
So depending on the out-of-the-factory solution - whether giving priority to back compatibility (desktop list under PC) - the only place in Windows 10 to find it (please add by default at Quick Access) ... this think about removing then the redundant link
which be under This PC then.
There are already options now - in Explorer > View Folder Options > General to control the provisioning of the concepts in the User navigational space for Quick Access, Libraries:
1) So may be put an option so at least you can set Explorer to show the user space folders Desktop, Documents, Links, Videos, Pictures, Downloads under the Quick Access concept (where it now naturally belongs) rather than under the technical concept "This
PC) - where you would normally expand to browse drives.
2) Another option: If you do not care to expand drives - also add a provisioning option for hiding the This PC object (if all User Space concept are now available at Quick Access).

Quick Access: Anoying extra navigation to browse to desktop etc. - User space should be under Quick Access - please relocate or add such an option to move Desktop, Documents etc. to be listed under Quick Access.
Had to redo my roaming profile - i.e. delete it and start all over. It was a legacy profile from i.e. Windows 8.
OneDrive was not working - notification center not working - and apparently the documents, pictures etc. folder was not pinned under Quick Access.
After deleting and recreating the profile everything was inplace - including the user space folders (documents, pictures etc) listed under Quick Acess which I complained about in the previous post.

Fix for crash after opening Transitions Window?

I am working on a small project with a few standard def avi files and some still jpgs. When I click on Window-->Transitions, PrE 8 crashes every time and I get the dialog box to send an error report to Adobe. This is under Windows 7 64-bit. I just upgraded but had the EXACT same problem running PrE 7 under Vista 64-bit. I am really that the upgrade did not fix it. Anyone have any suggestions to stop the Transitions Window from causing a crash? My specs are PrE 8, Windows 7 64-bit, 6 GB RAM, about 500 GB free HD space, Intel core i7-920 at 2.66GHz, 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4850 Thanks.

Steve,
Thanks for your prompt reply. It has taken me a couple days to find the time to check out yours and others suggestions (I also posted this on Elements Village). So, I believe the problem is solved, and was due to either too-large JPGs as you suggested or some wierd memory use by the Background Rendering (suggested on another forum) or a wierd mix of the two. Here is what I did:
To start: I had the Original project which was about a dozen largish (appx. 2000x1500) jpgs and several avi clips totaling maybe 3 minutes.
I made an Original-video only project by copying the Original project and simply deleting the jpgs.
I made a Test project by saving a brand new project and putting in 2 largish jpgs and 1 short avi clip on a new timeline.
I started with Background Rendering enabled (default).
My crash was that when I went to the drop down menu and selected Window->Transitions, PrE8 would crash and close.
First I checked that my Windows update and Quicktime are up to date (they are).
The test project did not crash, even with the too large photos.
The first time I deleted the photos from the Original-video only project it crashed (yesterday). But when I returned to it today I could not get it to crash at all (it sounds funny to say I was trying to make it crash). So I figured great! Then I resized my photos to 640x480, put them back in as a slideshow on the timeline and no problem at all--no crash.
Then I returned to the Original project (video plus too large jpgs) and checked to see that it still was crashing with Window->Transitions (it was). Then I disabled Background Rendering. I saved, closed and reopened the project and tested. It did NOT crash with Window->Transitions with Background Rendering disabled, even though the jpgs were too big.
I will also point out, that during this time, I discovered I could get to transitions via the orange Edit button->Transitions button in that upper right window, and this path did NOT crash in any project. I am new to Premiere Elements and am still learning how to do things so missed this alternate path the first go round. Nonetheless, I still wanted to fix the Windows->Transitions crash issue so I do not have to remember to avoid it.
In summary then, it appears that the the crash issue occurs when I had BOTH too-large jpgs and Background Rendering enabled. By either reducing jpg resolution within the guidelines OR turning off the rendering, the crash issue was resolved. (Although I will probably do both in future projects).
Thanks for your help and, despite the annoyance, I see this experience has taught me several valuable things I can do to avoid crashes in the future.

Finally a fix for iphoto editing!

Just updated to 10.6.4 and F.S. editing appears to be working! Been broken since snow leopard update.
Great news.

Yeah, I have a Macbook and have serious wifi problems. I just got mine a couple weeks ago, and it has had problems since day one. Typically, if I can connect to a wireless network I cannot get an IP through DHCP. If I switch the
Airport card on and off repeatedly in System Preferences, I may eventually get an IP address after an unknown period of time - sometimes a couple of minutes, sometimes half an hour, sometimes more. At school in the library, instead of connecting but not being able to get an IP, Airport doesn't connect at all. After around 100 or so (yes, I'm not kidding) attempts at connecting to the wifi at school I am able to connect to the wireless network. I used my $700 Acer laptop in all of those places without a problem; I connected every time.
At first I thought that my Macbook had a malfunctioning wifi card and that I would need a replacement. But now that I'm seeing a lot of other people having problems, I'm not confident that a new Airport card would solve anything.

ITunes 10.7 won't open some Libraries

I just noticed that iTunes (10.7) won't open some of my libraries. I have 5 that I use for various purposes. The main one with all my music is now grayed out. Only 2 out of the 5 will load, and they are not the most important ones, so I am kind of stuck.
A few weeks ago I upgraded from Leopard 10.5 to Mountain Lion 10.8, then got an iPhone 5, but iTunes worked for a while after the upgrade and I put some songs on the iPhone.
I just got the fix for iPhoto 4.9 which was causing it's own problems, and now iTunes isn't working. (Actually it wasn't working when iPhoto had problems too.)
So what can I do to fix this? Delete my library files and start over just when I had it all set up for the iPhone? And will it happen again?

A valid iTunes library has a file called library.itl The .xml file is a copy in a different format put there by iTunes so other programs can read the library, but itunes itself uses the .itl file. So in essence the folders with no .itl have no library. You can create a blank library by holding down the option key while starting iTunes. Now import the .xml file from one of those orphan libraries.

What version of iPhoto?
A. iPhoto '11. Version 9.4.2 (710.42)
What version of the Operating System?
A.Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
What was I doing when the problem arose?
A. I was uploading some pictures from my camera to my Mac then I closed it. next time tried to open it and it went right to the way that the pictire before shows.
Did it ever work properly?
A. It had some details; like taking a lot of time to send a picture from iPhoto to an e-mail or not send it at all.
What steps have I tried already to solve the issue?
A. None, I havent wanted to do anything to fix it because I'm afraid I could somehow delete my pictures. I know the pictures still there; because, they are on my screen saver changing and changing.
I also want to know if there is any other way for me to see my pictures other than trought iPhoto?

I am using I Photo 9.2.3 with OS 10.6.8 When I upgraded to current I photo some of my Iphoto books i put together disappeared. Cant find them anywhere, including in the time machine...I photo cant open older files...How can a find th book entitled "Mom"

Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
What version did you have?
Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

Fix for iTunes and Stuttering Audio Upon Opening Other Programs

This was answered for me in another mega thread, so I thought I would create it's own topic in hopes of helping as many people as possible.
This is a fix for those that have the problem of iTunes 7 working fine alone, but when opening another program such as a game, etc., iTunes 7 begins to stutter and crackle. This fix assumes that otherwise, the program works correctly (gapless, and other issues are not a problem, no blue screens of death, etc.)
First off my machine:
Dell XPS 3.4 ghz Pentium Dual Core
2 Gig RAM
Creative SB X-Fi audio card, latest drivers installed
Observed problem:
Running iTunes 7, audio sounded fine, but opening another program such as UT2004 (first person shooter game) caused iTunes 7 to stutter and crackle.
This was not an issue in iTunes 6.05. I had to upgrade as I just purchased the new Nano.
As an aside, I have another sound card on my computer, an older Layla Echo 24 professional soundcard, drivers are about 3 years old. When selecting this card, this problem does not occur.
The Fix:
Close iTunes 7
Upgrade your sound card drivers (just to eliminate that as an issue)
Upgrade to latest Microsoft direct X version:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A -9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en
Start
Run
Type: dxdiag
Click "sound 1" or similarly named tab
Slide bar to "basic acceleration" (mine was at full, and basic is two clicks to the left)
Exit
Restart iTunes 7, and startup music
Open game, or other program
Your music in iTunes 7 should now be stutter/crackle free
This may not work for everybody, but it worked for me so I thought I would pass this along.
Good luck!
(resisting urge to type some snarky remark to Apple that somehow their programmers are indeed as human as Microsoft programmers)...oops...sorry about that.
Dell XPS Windows XP Creative SB X-FI Audio Card
Dell XPS Windows XP

i was hopeful, but it didn't work. well teh one thing that i had to do diff was the dx updating, WGA doesn't like to work on my system for some unkown reason (yes it was bought at a store) so i found a way around their WGA check for it (i think) the one i got was labeled as dxwebupdate for august 2006. it updated just fine and it looks like it should be the same one as the newest update release microsoft sent out
my system is a home built one and haven't had probs with itunes with any other version, until this one. i'm tempted to just go back to the newest version 6 i have, cause this is rediculous. i can't do anything without it sputtering away at me. i tryed uninstalling it and removing every trace of its exsistance off of the system (including registry) and that didn't work i made sure all numbers were set to the correct values for my sound blaster audigy gamer, i was using some non oem drivers, but switched over just to make sure witht eh newest ones creative had, and it made zero diff.
i'm wondering if it is an issue it is having with sound blaster cards...
well anyways if anyone else has any ideas i would like to hear them
