  • I have several pics that when I click on them another photo comes up. when I click and drag the one underneath comes out but when I drop it the other photo is over top again. How can I fix this?

    I have several pics in my iphoto library that have shown up in my folders with the original photo laid underneath it. How do I seperate them?

    You don't already have a back up?
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    With the back up? Nothing unless things get worse after the fix. If they do, restore from the back up.

  • Some pictures in I-Photo seem to be corrupted. When I click on them, the photo comes up for a second, then the picture turns black with a white fuzzy circle inside it and what looks like an explanation mark. Some older, some newer,  no common thread.

    Some pictures in I-Photo seem to be corrupted. When I click on them, they come up for a second, then turn black with a white circle in the middle and what looks like an explanation mark. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to the photos that are a problem, some older ones, some newer, some albums have none, some albums have a lot.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    time to time (when I have a chance), I will go to Finder, bring up ALL Images and start going through them to label them (before I put a label on them, they are simply listed as 123 jpg, 124 jpg etc.).
    You're damaging the Library doing that, and that's the cause of your problem.
    Never, ever, ever use the  All Images search and work on items in yoyr iPhoto Library. They must only be accessed via the iPhoto window.
    Restroe from abck up or try rebuild the Library:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.
    Next: You need to learn how to use iPhoto. There's no need to be dragging things to the desktop:

  • Why do my photos get blurry when they are enlarged to full screen from the disc I burn, or played on the t.v.?  I set the burn on the highest quality.  The photos don't look blurry when enlarged from iphoto on the computer.

    Why do my photos that are transferred from iphoto to idvd, and then burned on DVD, look blurry when the idvd is shown full screen on computer or on t.v.  They don't look blurry when I enlarge the iphoto pics on the computer.  I used the 'prof. quality" encoding setting before burning, and before putting photos on idvd.

    Hi
    DVD is as standard - only interlaced SD-Video (as on old CRT-TVs) and can never be any better than this.
    This is less than a quarter of Your Mac screen resolution.
    That's one part of Why You can see High res. on Your Mac - and not on DVD.
    Next part is what program is used to make the SlideShow.
    If You use iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - to make it - it too degrades the final result as non of them can deliver interlaced SD-Video to iDVD but only half (every second line in the picture)
    I use
    • iMovie HD6 or
    • FinalCut (any version) or
    • FotoMagico™
    As they all delivers 100% of what iDVD or Toast™ or DVD Studio Pro or Whatever needs.

  • Any idea why I can only hear a caller when I'm using speaker phone?

    Does anyone know why I can only hear a caller when I am using speaker phone? 

    Hi goodferg,
    The troubleshooting steps below may help you with the sound issue you are having with your iPhone 4:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Hope this helps!
    - Judy

  • Photos download to my computer when I click on them from Safari...

    Hey there-
    When I click on photos from the web (like from google images or blogger...) Instead of opening them in a new window they automatically download to my disk. It didnt used to do this- how can I disable it? It is really annoying when I am trying to open an image just to look at it and now there are all these stupid photos in my download folder...

    Try downloading Firefox from this page. <br />

    1 - NEVER make any changes of any sort tot he content or structure of the iPhoto library using the finder - there are no user servicable parts in it
    2 - what did you restore from Time Machine? and how did you restore?
    3 - how much free space do you have on your hard drive?

  • I renamed the folder with all iphoto pictures and now an exclamation point comes up when i click on them in iphoto.. how do i fix this?

    I don't remember the original name. Please help

    do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library (that preference has been unchecked)?
    Where did you change this folder name - in the iPhoto library using the finder (if so you have made a very bad error and unless you can restore it from a backup or change it to exactly what it was you will have to start over from your original photos - NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder or any other program)  --  or is it a folder in iPhoto under the albums sedtion (that does not affect yoru photos)
    We need to know exactly what you did

  • Photos do not show up when I click on them

    When I double click on horizontal photos, they will not show up in the big screen. Instead I see a dark image with a white "!". This doesn't happen with the vertical photos, only the horizontal photos. I just imported all of my photos from iPhoto to our new laptop. It doesn't happen when we open photos using iPhoto's older version on our desktop. Only now with iPhoto 9. Why won't the horizontal photos show up? We also cannot use horizontal photos for desktop pictures. Only the vertical photos will save as a desktop picture.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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 and use the command to check and repair permissions in the Library
    if that fails:
    2. 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:
    3. 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, faces and places 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.

  • Why can't I play games on facebook anymore? When I click on them the screen stays white. I updated my flashplayer still nothing

    it only does this with Fire fox. Even my zynga toolbar is not loading right

    For Grand Theft Auto, the only version I found that "Officially" still run native on the Mac and are in the Mac App Store are Grand Theft Auto II I released in 2010-2011 and Grand Theft Auto Vice City released in 2012.
    The more recent versions of GTA IV and V are PC ONLY. NO official Mac OS X version for these.
    There are no other versions available on the Mac App Store! so those should run on your Mac with little issues as it is designed to run on OS X 10.6.6 and later OS X versions.
    From the GTA website posted in Feb 2014,
    https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200147266-Macintosh-system-r equirements-and-specifications-for-Grand-Theft-Auto-III-Vice-City-and-San-Andrea s
    AND, the GTA web link does not mention any support for OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 OR 10.10.
    So, I am not sure what versions of these games you purchased and where, but it would appear the recent versions of these games are NOT OS X supported.
    You would need to install the proper version of Windows on your Mac to play these games.
    If you are running the latest Tomb Raider that is available on the Mac App Store either Tomb Raider Essential or Tomb Raider Underworld, both should be able to run on your Mac. Tomb Raider Underworld runs on OS X 10.6.6 or later and Tomb Raider Essentials runs on OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks and later.
    You might be having issues with these on OS X 10.10 Yosemite as users are still having issues with the new OS X.
    Did you ever play these under OS X 10.9 Mavericks?.
    I suspect issues with these games under Yosemite as Yosemite, itself, uses more hardware overhead. Based on numerous issues posted here about Yosemite, seems Yosemite is more taxing on both RAM and the GPU.

  • The links toolbar is not working. I can drag addresses to it, but when I click on them, the sites don't open. How can I fix this?

    There is a toolbar feature in the lower right corner of the taskbar. I tried to set up the Links toolbar. I can drag addresses to this, but when I click them, nothing happens. What should happen is the site/page whose address I clicked should open.
    How can I fix this? Is it a problem with the Firefox I'm currently using?

    I checked out the links you provided. One is dead, one is for Windows 7, which doesn't apply to my problem because I'm using Windows 8, and I've been checking out the third.
    I'm a novice and may not have the right vocabulary to explain myself. The Links toolbar is accessed from the bottom right side of the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Apparently Firefox is necessary to use this, as everyone I've talked to swears it's not visible for IE.
    What I'm referring to is Right-click "show hidden icons." Scroll up to Toolbars. Scroll over to Links. Check it to enable it. Then what should happen is I should be able to drag the address/url from the top of the page to this menu and click on it when I want to go back to that particular page. That is what is not working. Nothing happens when I click the addresses in the Links menu.

  • Itunes 11 sorts album under different artists name in the artist view - any idea why?

    I have just be kindly given the Maroon 5 Holiday gift via 12 days (thanks iTunes).  I also have their album 'songs about Jane' and a track from a Rihanna album which is a Maroon 5 track featuring Rihanna but issued on the Rihanna album.
    When sorted by Album the Maroon 5 albums and Rihanna track are sorted together under Maroon 5.
    However, when sorted by Artist the artist for the Album 'Songs about Jane' is being shown as Rihanna (?) but when I check the 'Get Info' data Maroon 5 are clearly shown as the Album Artist.  The holiday gift and the Rihanna track are shown under the artist Maroon 5.
    Wierd ... any ideas why and how to correct?

    Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.

  • I recently updated my IOS software on my IPAD with the latest version and now video from some sites does not run. I did not do the update on my other IPAD and the video runs fine. Any idea why.

    I have an IPAD 3 and recently updated the IOS software with the latest version and now video from some sites will not display where it did prior to the update. When I go to those same sites on my other IPAD that I did not do the softward update the video still works. Any idea why and what to do to fix it?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
