All my Photos disappeared after I saved a photo to Iphoto from an email from my wife. I am running Mountain lion on Mac book pro 2012, help. What did I do wrong?
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
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.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

after upgrading to Mountain Lion my Mac Book pro takes 1min 15 to load
Apple made some changes to increase security that slowed the boot time.

I have a MAC Book Pro with maximum RAM added and tried to download Mountain Lion and after 20 hours only 1.50GB downloaded of 4.37GB. Very slow and set my machine not to sleep overnight or anything. Should I give up and stick with my snow leopard?
I think that since Apple just released the Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Update and iOS 6, their download servers are being somewhat overloaded. It may pay to try again in a day or two after things calm down a little. It also depends on where you live and how fast your ISP download speeds are.
Hope this helps -
Dear MAC-Friends.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
Choose another Library ? ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
and the other possibility is:
Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library ?
And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Kind regards FINN GRABOWSKIOk. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?

Adobe slowed down after running fine on a Mac Book Pro Photoshop settings have been reset
adobe slowed down after running fine on a Mac Book Pro. Adobe Settings have been Reset
Hello Gener7,
I did try everything on the FAQ page (all steps) I also did them a few more times with "Adobe help" walking me through 2 more times. I just don't get it, I have been on with Adobe on some days up to 5 hours at a time for over a month now. I think it must be something with the installation disc but they say no, no, switchboard is just not working on my OS X 10.9.4. I even took the computer into the apple store here and had them look it over, reinstall everything and they say it's the Adobe software.
Thank you very much for your help, it's nice to know someone is reading this :-) I do work around this by saving the files and reopening them in the next program I need but everyone in class is always waiting on me, (it sucks) and I just think it should work. Hope you have a good day and I will put an update on here if this is ever figured out.
Thanks one more time :-) -
I would like to leave my iMac on Snow Leapord to use Power PC software, and run Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro. I am getting an iPhone 5. Is there a way to use mail on all of them with the same accounts?
Any IMAP e-mail account can be accessed from all devices just fine. You don't need to upgrade from Snow Leopard to be able to access an IMAP e-mail account. However, Snow Leopard won't have built-in support for iCloud. As mende1 points out, you can still read your iCloud e-mail from Snow Leopard, but you have to set it up manually. You won't be able to do things like sync your iCloud calendar or addresses with iCal or Address Book on the iMac, though.

Mac Book Pro (2012) tion not booting after installing boot camp
On Sunday I installed windows 8.1 on a partition that I made using boot camp assistant. It worked fine after I installed windows yestarday. Today when I turned on Mac Book Pro and booted it up from the OSX Mavricks partition it turns on but after I hear the start tone, I see the apple logo, a progress bar and then a couple seconds later I see the spining gears and then my computer shuts off. I tried booting the computer up from the windows partition and that worker fine. I tried booting it up from the mac OSX parttion and same thing again. I tried pressing Comand R on start up to go to disk utility so I could verify the Machintosh HD disk. It said that it needed to be repaired but when I went to go repair it I get an error message saying " Disk Utility Cannot repair this disk... back up your files." Next I try going in to single user mode and I type /fsck -y this does not work either. I tried booting into safe mode but that did not work. What should I do next?
Hello Jack Ryen,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that your Mac will not start up in OS X, and the result of you verifying the disk indicates you need to back up your files and reformat. As Disk Utility states, the next step for this issue is to backup and if possible reformat the drive.
Important: If Disk Utility is unable to repair the internal drive, you should back up your important data immediately and if possible, reformat the drive. Consider bringing the Mac to a Genius at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for further diagnosis. Be sure to ask that, if the drive needs reformatting or replacing, they contact you about escalating your case to a special data recovery service. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, you can make a reservation (available in some countries only).

Following a message saying that my Startup disc was full and advising me to delete some files, I deleted my trash but then apps started to fail. When I tried to log on again, all I got was a blank screen and a cursor, so I am unable to delete any more files. I am a Mac Book Pro virgin, help
How much free space do you actually have? Go to the Apple menu and select About This Mac... More Info... and click on the Storage tab. You should see something like this...
This will show you how much free space you have and what's taking up all the space on your hard drive. You may need to backup and trash some seldom used files, applications, etc. You have to drag them into the Trash and empty the trash to regain the space. A general rule of thumb is that you should have about 15% of your hard drive storage free.
Good luck,

How can I delete Photo albums in iPhone 4s. I am using OS 10.5.8 Mac Book Pro
I would like to delete several albums from my iPHone 4s. I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8. I only can delete single photos from camera roll.
You can't delete albums in your device because it syncs your iPhoto configuration. To delete an album, you must delete it in iPhoto, but there's a solution. Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, select your iPhone in the sidebar, go to Photos tab and select the albums you want to sync

Pgp encryption now not working after mountain lion upgrade (mac book 2009), any solutions?
I have a 2009 mac book and installed pgp whole disc encryption. I have been using since 2011. I wanted to upgrade to Mountain lion and decrypted the disc. I installed Mountain lion and now I am told that the pgp will not operate. I need a solution asap. Thanks.
Guys, thanks for the assistance. I took it to IT guys in work who recommended using filevault which I agreed. However, when the computer was to restart, the apple logo appeared and then a "prohibited" symbol accompanied by the fantastic spinning wheel of death.
Now it will not boot. I have tried entering option + R and restoring from a time machine/capsule backup. However, it will find the relevant backup (I backed the machine up prior to decrypting etc) but is stuck on "Searching for disks...".
Is my only solution to reinstall Mountain lion and then restore from a backup? Any solutions would be of great assistance. I had downloaded mountain lion from the app store. How do I reinstall the software in such circumstances?
Thanks. -
Since adding microsoft exchange I sunced my phone and lost all of my old contact, notes. etc. Also, when I do get a text message it appears as a number instead of a name. What did I do wrong and can I get my old info restored. When I tried restoring it only gave me the same thing.
That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation. A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number. I suggest you turn iMessage off. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage. Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

Hello Partii,
It sounds like you may use a POP account for your email. With a POP account, email applications like Mail and Outlook can remove emails from the server, so when another device tries to check the server for new emails, it doesn't see any.
You may need to adjust settings in Outlook so that the emails are not removed from the server when downloaded. I found an article with more information:
When using a POP email account with multiple devices, email messages may only appear on the first device that receives them. This occurs when an email client is configured to automatically remove email from the server once an email client has received it. You can configure your email client (or clients) either to keep a copy of the email on the server, remove it after a certain number of days have passed, or keep it until you move it from your Inbox.
I recommend reviewing the full article for steps on adjusting these settings; you can find the full article here:

All my Notes disappeared after ICloud upgrade
All my Notes disappeared after ICloud upgrade. I cannot find them, nor a way to recover them from backups? Any ideas? This is a BIG hiccup!
I posted this on another discussion:
Similar problem: I was at a store today and went to my Notes on iPhone 3GS to look up information recorded there about medications for an aging parent. I am syncing through iCloud so the same notes are on my iPhone, iPad 1, and desktop Mac (in Mail). I opened one note, but it didn't have the information I needed, so I went back to the main Notes list and picked another of the dozen notes. I was scrolling down through that note and then suddenly....poof....the note was gone. ALL the notes were gone. The note pad said NO NOTES. ***???!!!!
They were gone from my iPad, too. The notes represent information gathered and organized from multiple years (with no problems until now). The notes are information I NEED. I created a test note, it showed up on my devices. Then I chose to delete it to see if a single key click could do that. The app requires a second click on a Delete Note button as confirmation. And there's no way to delete ALL notes while viewing a single note, deliberately OR accidentally.
Any suggestions about how to recover the notes lost today? Thanks in advance.
