I have previously (and am again) experiencing the same problem as the original poster, except I am able to get the "rebuild" window when I hold down ALT and CMD while starting up iPhoto.
The problem with "empty photos" (i.e. the frames around the photos are there, as are the keywords and filename, but the photo itself is missing). Looking inside the iPhoto folder in the Finder I see that there are lots of image files with file-lengths of zero. So the files are still there, but there's no data inside of them.
I don't know how the original poster ended up with these empty photos, but in my case I was organizing my photos by deleting unwanted ones, creating new albums, deleting unused ones etc.
Then all of a sudden iPhoto crashes!
(iPhoto 5 does indeed seem to be a flaky program as this has happened to me many times when working with a couple of thousand photos or more).
Anyway, when I opened it again the empty photos thing occured.
I'm guessing that the empty photos are indeed the same photos I deleted from my album, but because of the crash, iPhoto hasn't updated its information and still displays the thumbnails of the images, which of course aren't there, and thus shows them as "empty" images.
Now, I would imagine "rebuilding the database" and/or "rebuilding the thumbnails" would do the trick, but I've tried all 4 option available when you start iPhoto with ALT and CMD. Nothing solves my problem. Very frustrating.
And whenever I do something in iPhoto the "busy beachball" shows up for 10 to 30 seconds, causing a lot of waiting.
(To the original poster not being able to get at the options to rebuild iPhoto's files etc: what you need to do is start iPhoto, then IMMEDIATELY hold (and keep holding down) the ALT and COMMAND (Apple) keys. After a few seconds, instead of iPhoto opening up with your images you get a window with 4 rebuilding option. When you see that you can let go of the ALT and COMMAND keys).
If I keep getting these problems and there seems to be no solution other than to dump all the images to a folder on the desktop, then create an iPhoto setup from scratch and manually import the photos followed by the huge task of keyworking them, creating the albums etc. I'm going to look elsewhere for some better working software. This just isn't satisfactory.

Updated iPad 2 last night. All movies (9) on my iPad can no longer be viewed. The movie plays but the photos and scene selection are blank. How do I fix this
Quit the app and restart the iPad.
In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Try the videos app again. -

When I open the Page Thumbnails panel, all the document's thumbnails are blank. How do I restore the ability to see page material in Page Thumbnails?
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Can't see photos just image names and blank boxes
I have my iPhoto library on an external drive since it holds over 37,000 photos and while in it the cord was pulled out of the port. When I plugged it back in and reloaded iPhoto it shows that there is 37,000+ photos and 600+ events but the thumbnails don't show and if you double click on the blank box where it should be it pops up an exclamation point instead of the image.
Is there any way to fix this??? Stressing big time since I haven't backed up my library since July.Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) 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 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event 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.

Hello,
Please help to find my stolen mac book pro - 15 inch,
I have only the serial number of it but Unfortunately I did not have iCloud on it, all my data and researches are there,
The Operating System is mac but I don't remember which version (I think it is the latest because it is updated), also windows & VMWare are installed
WHo can help, please contact me...
HudaAs Chris indicated, there is no way to track your MacBook without having set up the Find My Mac feature beforehand (and even if you did, it's quite easily defeated) or having some third-party tracking software installed. All you can do is file a report with the police and hope they get lucky. I can only hope that you made backups of your data and "researches", since I agree with Chris that your chances of ever getting the MacBook back are not good.
You posted in the iTunes for Windows forum, by the way; just so you're aware for future questions.

Photos sent through ePrint are washed out - Help
I just ran a test sending 3 photos from my ipad via email to my HP Envy 100 e-Printer and they all appeared washed out. I then sent the same 3 photos directly to the HP Envy 100 e-Printer using the HP iPrint app and they were nice and brilliant -- confirming that the HPePrint Server is degrading the quality of photos.
Does anybody have any guidance on how to prepare photos that will be sent through the HPePrint Server so that they will be printed by the e-printer acceptably???Hi slimmerjim,
Thank you for your feedback.
There will be some degradetion print quality if you compare between ePrint and HP iPrint. ePrint is transfer the data through the Internet so the photos are printed in normal mode as compare to HP iPrint which sends the data through wireless network which are printed in best mode.
HP is aware of this issue and we are looking to improving this.
Thank you.
I am an HP employee

All SCOM 2012 R2 dashboards are blank on Windows 7 for any user
All SCOM dashboards are showing up completely blank on several (but not all) Windows 7 machines and a 2008 R2 server (with RDS)...for any type of user. It's not a permissions issue as the same user can RDP to the SCOM Mgt server and view the dashboards just
fine. It seems to be some underying pre-requisite that isn't there, or isn't working. We've installed the pre-reqs (reportviewer, SQLSsyClrtypes, etc) to no avail. I've also tried doing a "repair" on .Net, and rebooted as described in another thread,
but that didn't work. I'm guessing it's something baked into our desktop images, but what am I missing...also, we're seeing this event in the application log when the console is opened on an affected machine (but, not necessarily when opening the dashboard)...so, not sure it's 100% relevant.

All graphics in Pages document are now boxes with "?" question marks. Help!! Urgent!!
Created a 150 page document on one computer with Pages 09 and saved to the desktop. Put onto a flash drive and transferred to another computer. Opened it with Pages 09, made modifications, and saved back onto the flash drive. Transferred document to original computer, overwrote original file, and now all the graphics in the document have been replaced with boxes with a question mark inside it. Went back to the document on the flash drive, it is the same way. Opened the document on the "other" computer and it is the same way. Have searched Support and the User Guide to find an answer and cannot. This is a dissertation that has to mailed out like now. How do we fix?
I am just an end user like you so I don't know why. I have not heard about this problem before or I might have when people have tried just save on a server instead of their own computer. The person that just opened the document from the USB stick and saved back on should have first transferred the document to his/hers computer, then worked on it and saved it and THEN copy it over to the stick.
Use CDs instead for transferring files or emails. That is much safer.

i had problems with my computer so had to do a factory reset downloaded firefox and all emails and passwords are gone i am new to this and didnt know how to back them up i need these emails and passwords back
If you've reset your Windows setup by doing a factory reset and you didn't make a backup of the personal data in the Firefox Profile Folder before doing this then I'm afraid that all data that Firefox stores in the Firefox Profile Folder is lost.

You should regularly backup your personal data in Firefox to guard against such issues.

My imac says wifi not configured all other devices in house are working please help
how can I reset the wifi card in my imac
If the wireless card or circuitry in the iMac appears in the hardware profile, then it exists
and could be used by the system; the configuration of Network in system preferences is
part of that. Also the AirPort setup to be able to find & use available wireless networks
is usually not difficult.

An older iMac running OS X 10.4 Tiger would be somewhat different, but similar to later:
•Network configuration for Mac OS X 10.4:
https://lapserv.maths.cam.ac.uk/docs/osx104.html
However, not knowing what iMac model build version or OS X system version your have
makes choosing how to reply to a general and vague question such as this. Since a Mac
does not run an iOS (an iDevice, not a Mac product, would use iOS system) what OS X
does your computer use? And if the hardware utilizes a core 2 duo or other Intel based
processor, then you don't have the vintage old iMac version this discussion area is about.
The answers change, depending on the hardware, since the later OS X versions do not
run on old hardware. So there is a gap between what you have, and what you said...
Even so, the general settings for Ethernet, Wi-Fi and other connections for networking
are in the system preferences; you can also choose to change options in there.
Good luck & happy computing! -
