  • Photos app frozen while creating or opening a library

    Hi.
    Photos loaded my entire picture library ok the first time around.  After trying to add more photos from an external drive, Photos froze and will only respond to a Force Quit.  I can't tell if my library is altogether gone and can't get Photos to launch at all.
    Any ideas?  Can i reinstall Photos?  ¿Where can I check to see if my picture files are still on the computer?
    Thanks,
    epaxson

    Use the  ➙ Force Quit menu option.

    In DVDSP3, I wanted to to open the file "Background.mov" that's part of an Apple template. But the template folder is empty, and a search for the file doesn't find it. However, both the template and the mov file are working. How do I find/open such things?

    right click on the dvd app to show "package contents"
    remember that it's dicey changing these stock templates.
    Best not to do it this way.

  • I have an iPad air and have downloaded the microsoft app excel.  I have an email with an excel attachment.  When I "tap to download" the attachment, it auto converts to a PDF file.  I want it to open in excel.  Please help.

    I have an iPad air and have downloaded the microsoft app excel.  I have an email with an excel attacment.  When I "tap to download" the attachment, it automatically converts to a PDF file and opens as a "view only" document.  I want it to open with the excel app so I can see and update the spreadsheet.  Please help.  Thanks!

    If Excel works as do other apps, you should be able to tap and hold on the attachment and then select "Open in Excel" in the window that will open. Note that you need to be subscribed to and signed into Office 365 to be able to edit documents in Microsoft's apps.

  • HT1947 Just want to say I have an iPhone 4s and only in this app, if I move the phone toward my face like I'm going to talk on the phone, Siri pops up. No idea what that's about. Other than that this all is absolutely splendid.

    Sorry it has taken so long for someone to reply to you. What you want to do is go to Settings > General > Siri > Raise to Speak OFF.

  • I want to put Lion on my computer but it asks what app I want to open it with. What does that mean?

    I want to download lion onto my computer but the computer keeps asking me what app I want to open it with. What does that mean? How do you know what app to open it with? Help!

    That isn't the way it worked for me.
    Once I download the installer from the App Store, I was able to open it and install Lion.
    I would suggest trying to download it again.
    If the same thing happens again, you shopuld discuss this with the App Store Support.

  • IMAC and MacBook connected via ethernet. Can see "Bob's" public folder on "Betty" but not allowed to move or open files. Want to Bob-- Betty (my new computer) permanently.  Adjusted "permissions" everywhere I think

    Old computer HDD named Bob, new one named Betty.  Trying to transfer crucial files via ethernet. Have connection, can see Bob's public folder on Betty. When try to move or open anything there, tells me I do not have permission to either view or read respectively. I changed permission on the item to read/write for Betty.  Made Betty an admin on Bob etc. What can I do?
    Thank you!

    Do have file sharing and remote login checked
    When on Betty's computer, Sign into Bob's computer with Bob's username & Bob's Password, instead of Betty's.
    BINGO!!!!  Problem solved.  Many thanks!!!

  • Photos App keeps crashing, won´t open and I can´t view my photos anymore

    Please HELP! The new Photos App got installed and now everytime I try to open it, it crashes and I don´t know how to solve this!
    I used to work with a shared library between iPhoto and Aperture but most of the time I used Aperture, but when I assigned the shared library to the new Photos App, overtime I try to open the app, after 5 seconds it crashes!
    I used the Ctrl+Alt thing with the Aperture to keep seeing my photos but as I understand, nothing I do in terms of modifying and updating (adding photos and stuff) the library, it does not update the original library because it is already working with the app that keeps crashing down.
    What do I do??? How can I get the Photos App to work?
    PLEASE I´M DESPERATE
    Proto V.
    PS: Pardon my english, i´m a native spanish speaking person, I´m from Mexico

    HI,
    Maybe try it this way this is what I did with mine because I did not migrate and didn't know about that either.
    Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
    On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
    if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
    once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
    there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
    Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
    For Duplicates if you have a big pile in a row and I mean not like every other picture of the same pictures on the keyboard Hold down the shift button. or the other way is to Hold down the Command buttom that is right by the space bar then on the trackpad or mouse click once on the picture you want to delete and do a bunch at a time then on the last picture of that pile either right click the picture and delete or go up to the edit button which is next to file on the top left and click delete in edit. 
    when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings.

  • Adding TextEdit.app as non-default in Open with menu

    When I open .ps files the default is "Preview.app", which I usually prefer.
    But often I want to open the file in TextEdit. How can I add TextEdit to the list of alternate apps
    (currently ColorSync, MPEGstreamclip, and TeXShop) without making it the default App?
    If I change Open with the TextEdit, it makes TextEdit the default App(wrong!) and moves Preview to the list of alternates. But when I select Preview as the default App(correct) the TextEdit option is deleted.
    There was a way to add more non-default Apps in NextStep. Is there a way to do so in OS X?

    You can change a file's open with app without affecting any others. Just don't click on the change all button. On subsequent CMD+I checks, TextEdit should show up with the others. If not, you can rebuild the LaunchServices database by launching the Terminal.app, copy & paste in this command (all one line), hit the enter key, and restart:
    */System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*

  • My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there!

    My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there! iTunes 12.1.0.50 on OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Why is iCloud doing this, and how do I view my content again?

    MacBook Pro  / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
    I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better.  Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG.   However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.  
    This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success.  So here's what I did:
    1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
    2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
    3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
        [also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
    4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
    5. Go back to the Get  Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
    6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
    7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
    8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

  • App in App Store wants to update, but is unable to because...I don't have it installed...

    I've had a very curious issue with my App Store for a while. It wants me to install an update for Angry Birds, which I may have not downloaded in the past (I can't remember). I have searched my computer with spotlight for anything with "angry birds" but haven't come up with anything.
    halp plz

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Close app store pop up without opening it?

    This is for on the computer. I have 10.8.5 (so Mountain Lion I believe) anyway, the app store will sometimes have a pop-up in the left hand corner telling me I have updates.
    Well that's great and all, but I don't want that thing to be hanging out there all day (I'm not the type of person to click "update" just because it gives one, and please don't give that to me as an answer or as "advice".) but no matter how I click on it to close it, it ALWAYS forces the app store application to open.
    I don't want it to open, I just want to get the pop-up off my desktop because it covers movies and games whenever I decide to play them.
    So my question is, is there a way to get that pop-up to go away without having to open the app store and then close the app store?

    If, using the search function the right, search the iPad forum for:
    itunes AND app AND store
    you will find past discussions on your problem.
