All of my photos are there in thumbnail, but when i click on to open a big black square appears with an exclemation mark in it!
Help, all my iphotos will not open, the thumbnails are there but when i click on them i get a black square with an exclemation mark in it?
What version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.6.3 the correct version of your OS?
Have you cleaned up your computer using the finder to delete files recenbtly?
If you have not deleted the original photos in error then backup your iPhoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database

Photos show up as thumnails but when I click on them they will not display. I get a exclamation mark in a dotted line box
Hylan:
That occurs when the library has lost the link to the original file. This is a result of a damaged library database file, Library6.iPhoto. You can try rebuilding the library from within iPhoto to see if you can recover the photos by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. However, it's iffy.
You can rebuild the library with iPhoto Library Manager as it create a new library, leaving the original one intact, by reading the AlbumData.xml file and copying what it needs. You will be able to recover the photos, albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, slideshows, and calendars will not be recovered. Here's how:
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 User/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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
It that doesn't work you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
After I sync my ipad with my macbook air, the apps show up in my itunes on my computer, but when I click on them nothing happens.
Kristyn,
Those Apps listed in the iTunes Apps library will only work with iOS devices. They are not designed to work on your Macbook Air system. -
Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank. The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums. What happened and how do I recover them all? Are they in my icloud? Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blurry. what gives? They were all completely clear and in the albums when I last used my ipad?? Would doing the "Reset" under General settings do that? When I returned from Europe I reset my ipad to get it in the right time zone etc.
Reboot. Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

I tried to export photos from iMac to iPad using a USB flash drive. The photos are on the drive but when I plug it into the iPad, the iPad says the device requires too much power. Any ideas of what type of USB flash drive I should use?
You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work. -
I have thumbnails in my iPhoto library but when I click on them the screen is black
I have thumbnails on my iPhoto library but when I click on them the screen is black. I have had my computer in 2-3 times for this issue and the library is corrupt, or so I was told. This doesn't make sense since the photos are obviously in my library some where. Any thoughts what is going on?
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: 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.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired. -
Why is it when safari is minimized on my iPhone it's stuck on a certain pages thumbnail but when I click on it the correct page shows up?
It doesn't really matter whether I am talking to Apple or not (and I'm sure they monitor these comments), I want everyone to know how bad this new iphone 4s is, and all of it's problems.
Apple have already launched an upgrade to the software - it obviously did not help, as many around the world would concur.
As far as being patient and waiting for another "update in the works" is concerned, it is just not satisfactory. This is not a cheap phone, and those who are experiencing these problems, should not have to be paying a substantial amount of money, for a very smart phone, that obviously, has some serious problems. -
The TO box used to auto fill when I started typing if an address was in my Contact list. The + at the end of the area for an email address says I have no Contacts
With Firefox, Yahoo Mail works normally except for contacts, when I click "Contacts" I get a screen with no names listed. If I start a new eMail and click "To" the listing appears as normal.
When I launch Yahoo Mail from Internet Explorer, the "Contacts" tab works normally.Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.

Some of my photos are clear as thumbnails, but blurry when I double click on them
What can I do to get the original, clear photo back?
what did you do to remove the original, clear photos? the problem you are reporting is NOT an issue that people are seeing with iPhoto
What are the pixel dimensions of the photos?

I have a new iphone 5. When i download an app it doesn't automatically appear on the homescreens. When I go into the app store I can locate the app and it says it is open. However, when I click the open button nothing happens. I have tried turning off the phone, resetting and restoring. I have signed out of itunes and then signed back in. Nothing is working. When I sync with my macbook pro, I add the new apps to the homescreens and apply but they still don't sync. Please help!!
This is happening right now to countless users. I suspect a server problem. Wait a day and try again.Or let itunes update and then sync (itunes seems to be working for this, I just used it to update apps that do not appear in the update page on my device).

I accidentally dleted all my documents and emptyed the trash can. I can play my music on my iphone but not through my mac because it says it cant locate the file/original and my photos are on my computer but when i double click to open them they come up with an ! however some of the photos are on my iphone but just the ones i took using the camera function. 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. -
I had a critical failure on my Mac and have slowly been rebuilding it, but Garageband just doesn't want to cooperate. This is actually a two-fold problem. First problem is; all of my loops are in my browser and when I click on one for a preview sound, it works fine. But, when I drag it into the project window I lose any the correct sound. They still have sound, but it will be a basic "blip, bloop" type 8-bit sound. This is namely with any kind of beats or percussion. Say I try to use a Trip Hop loop, all I get is the blips and bloops but no hi-hats, no snare, no kind of percussion sound at all.
Second problem: As I said before, all of my loops are correct in my loop browser, but they didn't seem to transfer over the MIDI sounds that I can usually choose from in the Track Info pane. It still only has the most basic sounds to choose from. Before, I had all the different MIDI sounds to choose from, such as Star Sweeper and the like, but those are all gone. I've tried to drag-and-drop into that pane but it won't let me.
I really hope that someone has an answer for this, I have a lot of projects I've been working on for a long time that are basically trash right now because I can't do anything with them.Missing Instruments:
The pop-up menu at the top of the track info pane filters the instruments: Make sure it is set to "show all".
I am not sure at all about your drums, however. You do not drag your drum-loops to tracks with different instruments, do you?
What you describe, looks exactly like something where transposing the drum loops and shifting the notes. This would cause the beats to be mapped to different instruments. And this is not suposed to happen, when you set the key of your project or transpose the master track.
Does this happen only in your account, or also when you launch GarageBand form a diffrent user account? You might create a new account forr testing, to explore this.

I've been having problems with my internet timing out when I try to access pages & firefox says I may have an old version of adobe flash player which is unstable so I've been trying to install a new version. Firefox then says theres missing plugins but when I click on the install missing plugins button it says no suitable plugins were found so I don't know how to get it to install AFP
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== everytime I try to install Adobe Flash PlayerTry this simple fix... I just got it to work...
First visit [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html] download and run the flash player uninstaller.
After that I simply ran the standalone flash player installer to be found here... [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe]
This fix doesn't solve the auto-update issue in Firefox, but at least your Flash will hopefully work again in Firefox until a more permanent fix is made available from Mozilla... -
i can see all of the thumbnails in my library but when i click on photo it becomes an ! not all photos do this but wondering if there is a fix
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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. .
