Bad update ?!?

I just installed iphoto on my mac mini and it was working okay until I've installed the new update (5.0.4). Now it's impossible to view my photos fullscreen. There is a black frame everywhere around my photos and the photos don't look good anymore. It's like a low resolution photo on a 800x600 rectangle. I'm thinking of disinstalling iphoto and putting the old version back. Is it a good idea ? I wanted to install a newer version (I have iphoto 08 that came with my imac) but my mac mini says it's not possible.
Thank you for your help

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.

  • I updated to Acrobat Pro 9.5.5, now I want to delete the bad update.

    I updated to Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 and it won't print a pdf, all it does is stall at the very beginning of the printing and hangs up. Adobe: How Do I Delete this bad update? I need to use this as a pdf maker. Thanks for your help.

    It deletes the entire program (just click on the link and that is what it tells you). The only way I know to backup is to reinstall. When you say it will not print a PDF, I assume you mean create one from some other application using the Adobe PDF printer. It is probably worth trouble shooting the issue a bit as it may be a simple problem.
    First, what os are you running, and if Windows xx is it 32 or 64-bit? Have you tried to print to file with the printer and then opening the file in Distiller to complete the creation? If that works, is AcroTray running in the background? You may actually have to stop it if it is and restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder).

  • HT4623 This really ***** that they sent out and update to the iPhone ISO6 and I can't send or receive pics! Being that its apple you would think they would know better than to send out a bad update like this! I'm paying for a service and I can even use it

    This really ***** that they sent out and update to the iPhone ISO6 and I can't send or receive pics! Being that its apple you would think they would know better than to send out a bad update like this! I'm paying for a service and I can even use now!!! I'm very upset! Think about canceling my iPhone 5 order! This is terrible!

    Wahhhhhhhhhh! Wahhhhhhhhhh!
    Are you over your little tantrum now?  Do you want help you would like to continue to act like a toddler?
    If you want help, try telling us what happens when trying to send pics.  Any errors?
    If you want to whine... go somewhere else.

  • Recently, my passwords on many websites are not being saved, forcing me to log in every 15 minutes or so.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  I am wondering if it is a result of a "bad" update?

    For the past few weeks, I have noticed that passwords on many different websites are not being saved.  I literally have to log back into each page every 15 minutes or so.  Is this the result of a bad software update?  Have an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow but if this can be resolved without going in, it would be preferred. 

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,

  • Bad Update 10.4.6 - please help!

    I see that I am not alone with 10.4.6 update causing major problems. This sounds like an Apple problem, not an individual one...
    Anyway, after trying to update, got a message that said it wouldn't install. Tried rebooting - bad mistake. Just got the spinning grey ball like others have reported. Put in my original Tiger disk and did a disk utilities. Did both a repair permissions and a repair disk. No luck. I then installed tiger on my external backup disk and booting from the backup, was able to get the computer up and running.
    I then went out and bought Diskwarrior, ran the progam for my internal hardrive, and still no success.
    I have not done anything else for fear of digging a deeper hole.
    My next move would be to re-install Tiger on the internal disk and update again.
    What would you suggest? I AM NOT A COMPUTER GEEK, please, please, explain a solution in layman's english.
    On a side note, I have never had a problem with an upgrade. The fact that many others are reporting a problem with this particular upgarde tells me that this is an Apple issue.

    Hello Dan:
    Do not jump to conclusions. OS X 10.4.6 is a very stable update. It is impossible to determine (from here) what caused your problem.
    I suggest you consider an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    and/or reapply OS X 10.4.6, using the combo download.

  • Bad update 10.10.2 will not boot

    After installing 10.10.2 security update, computer boots to gray screen with Apple logo & progress bar that stops 2/3 of the way. I've logged into recovery & re-installed the OS & still doesn't work.
    Im almost positive I don't have a bad HD after looking through all the posts with the same issue. I'm willing to do anything I can to retain my data. I've learned my lesson, but I need a solution.
    What can I do?
    Would this work:
    Hook up an external drive & clone the internal drive to the external with disc utility.
    Remove the internal drive & install the external
    Re-install OS
    Would this work? Or what should I do?
    thanks,
    matt

    Your download or install may have been corrupted. Try to boot into the Recovery Partition and reinstall OS X from there and then re-boot. Another option is to attempt to boot into Safe Mode, see if your computer will do that.
    Recovery Partition is Command + R on startup
    Safe Boot is hold down Shift key on startup

  • Is it a bad update on my phone or is the new itunes match horrible?

    I have the updated itunes 10.7 and the new iOS 6 update on my iphone 4G.  I can no longer download an individual song from icloud.  I have to begin downloading the entire album, then I have to hurry through and stop all the songs that I don't want downloaded.  There is no cloud next to the individual song.  The only cloud icon is at the top and bottom of the albums.  Swiping my finger does not give me any options anymore either.  Also, I can no longer delete individual songs from the harddrive of my phone.  The older version of itunes match allowed me to swipe my finger across the song and I had an option to delete the song.  The new software does not offer me anything when I swipe now.  So essentially I have to delete entire albums again.  This is a horrible hassle.  Is this problem just with me or is it the software update? 
    As a side bar, the new iOS 6 update did not install youtube on my phone.  I had to go to the app store to add the icon but I'm not necessarily concerned with a change like that unless its indicative of a larger installation problem.

    As of iOS 6 Apple no longer provides a built-in YouTube app. The official app is now the once availale from the App Store, which you've already downloaded.

    In iOS 6 Apple made major changes to iTunes Match functionality. You are not the only one to notice.

    thanks for replying.

  • Seems to be a bad update

    Hopefully some people check these forums regularly, which I will surely start to do. Seems to be a bug in the new update - I suggest not letting your iPhone battery run out, or hope you never need to reset. I had to restore, and I'm sure I've not only lost data in my apps (daily planner!! argh) but photos of my newborn baby smiling (very rare, double argh!!!) Just make sure you sync/ backup daily!! and don't forget to independently backup your app data

    I've had no problem with the 3.1.3 update and letting the battery run all the way down. About once a month, I let the battery discharge all the way and then I fully recharge it.
    A reset is no different than rebooting a computer. A reset won't cause a loss of data.

  • AME Suddenly Ignoring Bitrate Settings - Bad Update?

    I have had trouble with the output quality from the Adobe Media Encoder, but I generally got good results encoding web video with the H.264 Codec.  However, since my last update this has all changed.
    Now my video is being produced with far more compression than the settings say... so If I set a reasonable target bit rate of say - 2.94 Mbps, (this is for a 640x360 progressive video at 24 fps and a lot of graphics), the encoder predicts an output file size of around 75 MB for a 3 and 1/2 minute video.... and then produces a 6MB file that looks like absolute crap.
    I can boost the bitrate to absolutely astronomical settings - all the way to 50Mbps, and the resulting file will be 10MB - not the 1.3 GB predicted by Premiere's encoder setup.
    None of my saved custom profiles work as expected any more.  And no amount of tinkering makes any difference.  What just happened?

    I guess I didn't make it clear - the quality is horrible REGARDLESS of what the target and max bit
    rate are set to.  On 2 pass vbr, it makes almost no difference in filesize in the completed output even if
    I max the values out for both settings.  On single pass VBR I can make a tiny difference, but the output quality starts out good, and then degrades steadily toward the end of the video - it's as if the max bitrate constantly decreases as the video progresses. I have tried with several videos now.
    With CBR encoding, I can get okay results at the cost of increased file size, but the output still bears little relation to the bitrates that I set.
    This is really wierd behaviour and not consistent with what I was getting even a week ago. I'm trying to figure out what could have changed.

  • Help with Ejecting disk after bad update

    My MBP froze during an update and it won't start up.
    All I have is a friends install disk with me and that will get me to Terminal.
    I can't get the disk to eject since it is the startup disk.
    PLease help!!

    Do an Archive and Install on your internal hard drive so that you can boot to your internal drive (what is the purpose of getting the disk out if you can't boot!). After you install Leopard (remember to check preserve user settings!), you can eject the startup disk. Archive and Install only changes the system folder, so your applications, documents, music, movies, settings, desktop background, etc. will not change. Remember to run Software Update and install all of the updates. My advice is to not have any other applications open. Hopefully, everything installs correctly and your problem is gone.

  • Recently Updated Creative Cloud and "MSVCP110 is missing" pops up. Bad update?

    Recently Updated Creative Cloud and "MSVCP110 is missing" pops up whenever I open Bridge or Illustrator. How to fix this?

    Found the solution.
    I did a search on my system for the missing MSVCP110.dll file and found it in the SYSWOW64 folder and not System32 folder.
    I copied the file and pasted into System32.
    I opened command prompt and did the following:
    start>>program>>acessories>>command prompt
    or
    start>>run
    run the following command:
    regsvr32 msvcp110.dll

  • Windows 8.1 bad updates, it updates to look like Win Tech Preview!

    Windows 8.1 without last updates has a some features that are different to Windows 8.1 with last updates, here are some:
    1) Windows 8.1 WU ( Without updates ) has a bottom actionbar track when you right click it, and Windows 8.1 WTU ( With last updates ) have white panel like Windows Tech Preview! It have shut down button, that didnt exist, new ALL APPS screen
    and other changed functions!
    Why Microsoft do that? Some peoples love our Windows 8.1 with its features, and they dont want features that are in Win Tech Preview!

    Hi,
    First, I would like to confirm what the "bottom actionbar track" stands for. Would you please post back the screenshot of your issue?
    Considering that the issue can be caused by corrupted update installation or configuration. Please list out the updates you have installed before this issue.
    I suggest you perform a system restore before these updates and then try to install them one by one manually to see if there is one of them cause your issue, then post back for our research.
