Anyone having this problem when using iPhoto and iMovie?
I've posted this question in the iMovie forum without much luck. I hope someone here may have some ideas.
I make iMovies that are largely composed of still photos. Recently I'm having trouble with the preview screen in iMovie. When I click on a photo in the media browser it will not show up in the Preview pane but the little scrubber runs across the bottom anyway. If I click "apply" the photo will import into the iMovie timeline and I can then see it in the preview pane...sometimes. Sometimes not. It is the erratic nature of this problem that is driving me buggy (pardon the pun).
Sometimes the picture will do exactly what it supposed to -- pop up in Preview and I can make adjustments. Other times, no. Sometimes it is pictures right next to one another -- one works the other doesn't.
Is anyone else having a problem like this. My thought now is that it may be related to the size of the library since the problem seems to be on large libraries whereas projects that I do with 100 pictures or so (in a seperate project library) don't give me any grief but my large travel libraries do.
Thanks.

Another possibility might be the color profile bug that was introduced with iPhoto 6.0.5 and, maybe, Quicktime 7.1.3. It's a long shot but if Terence's suggestion doesn't help you can try the following:
1 - download the "Embed sRGB Profile" Automator application from Toad's Cellar.
2 - unzip it and drop the files that are giving you problems onto it.
3 - import those newly embedded files into iPhoto and see if they work.
As I said it's a long shot but worth a try if other attempts fail.
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, 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.

Problems with iTunes/ipad2 I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?
Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps). -

My Yahoo email asks me daily for my email password or says the connection to the server failed. Is anyone having this problem currently? I noticed old messages in chat mentioned the same problem. I get into my Yahoo email fine on my desktop computer for several weeks without re entering a password. But the IPad does not seem to be connecting daily with Yahoo without putting a password in again.
So, I didn't change anything and now it is working better. I still get the odd error though.
I have a feeling this has something to do with the SSL update Apple released and it was their server side. -

Updated to Yosemite, no problem. now iPhoto and iMovie won't open. Says I need to update software however, when i try to update indicates my User ID and PW won't work for these two pieces of software. User ID and PW works everywhere else.
I am having the same problem. I even changed my password and updated all of my security information. Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work. Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00. So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid. Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

There is a problem in updating iphoto and iMovie, read a response here from a certain Dahveed if I'm not wrong to try this, however I'm a first time mac user, how do you delete this ... /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
It says 'To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.'
However I only have one account. I've tried to sign out and in several times. But it doesn't work. I do remember changing my password recently. Secondly I'd like to add that I got this macbook air 3 days ago. I'm a first time mac user. It had three updates initially. Mountain lion 10.8.2, iphoto and the imovie. I updated the mountain lion, thinking I'd get the iphoto and imovie done later. However now this problem has come up. Thanks for responding. Hoping to hear from you soon again regarding this. -
Anyone having printer problems with adobe cs5 and mountain lion
I can print one copy in adobe cs5 but if I hit the print button it shuts down the program. Anyone having this problem besides me?
Are the drivers for your printer are up to date? You probably can print one copy cause it doesn't access the option window in your application.

Every time I click on a web site that has an email option the browser starts making untitled web pages and never stops unless I turn the computer off. It is very frustrating to not be able to use an email option when offered by a web site. The only way I can send email messages on the Firefox browser is to go into my hotmail acct. and copy and paste the addresses. I don't have this problem when I use the Internet Explorer browser.
See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]

Is anyone having this problem right now?????
Internet is not working. Keeps saying "Loading" then "Cannot Open Page: Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet."
There are 5 bars & 3G showing plus the phone works great.
I tried turning off and rebooting which usually solves this problem but after 10 tries, nothing!
Could the Internet be down but not the phone?
Anyone else having this problem and know how to solve it?????Yes, which my iPhone does.
I frequent a restaurant that is on the outskirts of AT&T's 3G network coverage area. Sometimes when I'm actively accessing the internet via 3G while in the restaurant, my iPhone will roll over to the EDGE network when the 3G connection is lost, and then back to 3G. The restaurant has a metal exterior which is probably a factor with the connection switching between the two. When I'm driving and leave a 3G network coverage area, my iPhone rolls over to the EDGE network. -
Anyone having this problem after the IOS5 update?
I uploaded the new software into our 4 iphone 4's. Two of them have no problem and are working fine. The other 2 keep searching for signal. They will show 4-5 bars and all of a sudden say "searching" for about 7-8 seconds, then show the bars again. We have tried restaring the phones several times and nothing. Our carrier is AT&T. Anyone else having this problem?

IPhone 4 and Zagg Shield... anyone having this problem?
I think there might be a problem with some of the screen protectors on the new iPhone. Let me first say that I used Zagg on my old 3GS and 3G and had no problems and loved them. However, this time it is a little different.
I bought my sheild and I installed it flawlessly. Not a bubble to be seen and it fit great. I let it cure for 24 hours before using RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. You know how tough that was? But I wanted them on there perfectly and they were. Key word being "were".
The problem seems to be that the new ultra-slick glass/coating on the iPhone 4 isn't allowing the shield to cling properly to the phone. For example, when I would set it on my granite counter top the phone literally wanted to stick to the counter top. Almost like sticky suction. Maybe due to the shape of the back of the old 3GS, it ever did this as it wasn't laying perfectly flat like th new phone. In any event, the back has held up so far.
However the front hasn't. I don't know if there an extra coating on the front (I believe I read there was) but it seems even more slick than the back. On a recent outing with my wife, she needed my credit card (don't they always). When she gave it back to me, I slipped it into the front pocket of which I was carrying my iPhone 4. When I took out my phone a little while later the credit card was magnetic side down on the phone screen in perfect orientation to the screen and stuck. When I went to pull the credit card off the whole Zagg shield just started peeling right off. Standing in a parking lot there was no way to get the screen back down at this point and I had to remove it from the front. The back is still on.
I never had this problem on my 3G, my 3GS, my daughters iPod or my wifes Blackberry. A couple of other times prior to the credit card incident, I notice that along the edge in a few places on the front, it looked like the shield wanted to peel up. A little bubble where there wasn't before, an edge not quite sticking. I was able to press those out. But in the end, I think the new screen could be a problem for a lot of people at least with this shield.
Anyone else having this issue or a similar problem?aburman1 wrote:
Not to be contrary but why do you believe it is not Zagg's fault. Apple isn't required to make a glass that the Zagg works with. Zagg needs to make their shield work with the new iPhone 4. Obviously they did not properly test it. There are many good shields using a silicon layer which work perfectly.

Alex,
I never said Apple was required to do anything. Zagg should have done more testing as you state. But even the best make mistakes like the antenna issue and yellow pictures some are taking with the less than perfect i4. My point, even Apple could test better so I'm willing to cut Zagg a little slack. One of my follow ups clearly states my inquiry as to if Zagg could make their shield more tacky to adhere better to the screen.
Can you provide us some names of the shields your referring too. I'd certainly like to look into them.
Thanks. -
Does anyone share my problem with atv3 I can play films through iTunes without any problems. When I start playing music using the remote app on my iPhone 3GS after around 5 tracks in it just stops playing and seems to lose my connection. Hoping this is human error on my part?
I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
