Can I force a thumbnail rebuild?
I've been importing old vcr videos of dog shows and iMovie ('11) crashed (it does that way too regularly) after importing one tape but before it got the thumbnails generated (or while it was doing them). As a result I have a large clip (2 hrs long) in the middle of an event with no thumbnails, just grey. I've searched the Help files with no luck and also searched here but can't find any info. Any suggestions?
Is this an iPhoto question? - If so then depress and hold the option and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your thumbnails
Or is it an iMovie question? If so you need to post in the iMovie forum

I downloaded the iOS7 and I can't force quit the open apps. I was told, "Force-quitting apps is a little different though: Instead of tapping and holding on the icon, you flick a thumbnail up to dismiss it." Unfortunately, that didn't work. Any comments please & thank you
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. Prior to loading 1OS7 it was easy to force quit applications that were still open by double clicking and seeing an a red "x" you had to click on.
It doesn't work that way with the new operating system and the instructions that were given "Force-quitting apps is a little different though: Instead of tapping and holding on the icon, you flick a thumbnail up to dismiss it."
Do not work.
I am looking for anyone who can help figure this out. -
I am using iphoto '09 version 8.1.2. (424). Today a few photos will not open. I can see them as thumbnails but when I try to open them they start to open and then a big ! mark appears. I have not had this problem before. Can you help
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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. .

Can't see any thumbnails in iPhoto
The only thumbnails I can see are those of phtotos I have just uploaded. However when I try to rebuild thumbnails even the ones I could see disappear. I have tried both thumbnail rebuild options, I have moved the slider. The photos are there but without the thumbnails one of the main features of iPhoto is lost. I am running iPhoto '09 on OS 10.8.2 on a 21.5" iMac. It's driving me mad!
Give this a try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired. -
Can I force Mail to download ALL RSS feeds from all time?
When I subscribe to an RSS feed in Mail (OS X Lion) it typically gives the last 20 feeds published. The same happens in Safari.
This limit is set by Mail and not by the server, because Google Reader can show all historical feeds, right back in time.
On Mail in Snow Leopard, when you moved the RSS feed to 'Show in Inbox', it downloaded all old RSS posts, rather like rebuilding an email account. However, the same does not happen on Lion.
Can I force Mail to download ALL RSS feeds from all time?Please ignore this question. Or tell me how to delete it.

How can I force an app install in App Store, or otherwise get App Store in a consistent state?
I've recently reinstalled OS X Mountain Lion on a laptop (completely and thoroughly erased the partitions of the previous installation), and on this freshly created system, after I sign in to the App Store (to download previous purchases), the system behaves as if packages are already installed - which they are not!
Under the Purchases tab, packages (such as Xcode or other previous purchases) are showing with a greyed out "INSTALLED" button on the right. Other packages (which have not been installed) are showing with a (pressable) button of "UPDATE". (For example, iPhoto has a newer version in Mavericks; it seems always possible to click on UPDATE and be prompted to install the latest version for Mountain Lion -- even though that process can be infinitely repeated). But iPhoto (along with any other packages) has not been installed to the host yet. /Applications/iPhoto.app and any others are not showing at all on the system, but App Store still believes that they're installed already (preventing a real install, or pretending that an upgrade is an upgrade and not an install). There are some packages which DO say "INSTALL". Those are the ones that I have never installed before on the laptop. So it appears to be possible to still install some packages - but that's the set that I do not want to install. So for example, now I can't seem to install Xcode or iPhoto or any other previously purchased applications. It seems pretty clear that there are some bugs here. But I am concerned about the source of the association - how is OS X determining that THOSE packages are "installed already", but others are not? Is the upstream App Store server keeping track of machine ID to make this determination? I heard at one point that App Store uses Spotlight internally - is it somehow querying that? Finally I wanted to confirm that this is really a complete reinstall. I set /dev/zero to the first few sectors of the raw hard drive in order to ensure that I could make a few partiiton table, and when I then reinstalled the system, I chose a different partition arrangement. I have no other drives connected. So it's truly a reinstall of the OS from scratch, and at the moment I can't see a clear way to install apps! I also had killed the App Store agent running in the background, moved away App Store related files in ~/Library/Caches/ and started again. Yet I get the exact same response. This is concerning from a privacy perspective too. Suppose the App Store server is encoding the list of installed packages and associating it with the host and then perhaps I sell the laptop. Now the list of apps may be available to a new user of the laptop. But it may only show if the same Apple ID is used.
In any case, I'd like to know how I can best move past this issue, workaround it, and install packages. Can I force an app to install, even if it's believed to be installed already? Can I attempt to do an "uninstall"? Any suggestions about this would be greatly appreciated.i also have a very similar problem my mac crashed due to a dodgy hard drive which has now been upgraded and snow leopard reinstalled and i cannot re install my purchased apps which is a pain in the back side any help please

I had over 200 e-mails. I went to my webmail and deleted most of them. However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails. How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server? Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well? Thanks.
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

How can I force-install iOs5/6 apps on my iPod Touch?
Hi, I have an iPod touch version 4.3.5 (ML1). Model is MC540C.
The App Store sometimes bars me from installing apps because the app has a minimum requirement of iOS 5 or 6. How can I force my iPod to install these apps anyway?No, it is more than the screen dimension.
You have a 4G iPod, why not update?
To update:
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer -
How can I make my thumbnails softer & smoother?
Hi, I am trying to create thumbnails from my digital camera. I have been comparing JMagick to the java2d api. My needs are simple - resize jpegs. I am finding indistinguishable image quality between the two when I resize except in the case of thumbnails. Those I am getting from the java2d package are looking sharp & brittle. The ones from Jmagick are soft & smooth. Can anyone please let me know how I can get softer & smoother thumbnails from Java2d? Here is my test that compares JMagick & java2d - notice there are several different possible ways I am saving using Java2d (JAI, AffineTransform, and Graphics2d). I am finding the best results (quickest) using AffineTransform. The Graphics2d approach below is of noticably worse quality. I'm new to this so any help is appreciated.
Craig
What it does: I am using this to take 1600 x 1200 images & create a copy, a 1024x768 image, and a 150x112 thumbnail.

the resulting quality when scaling images using the drawImage method is
miserable. Thus there is a getScaledInstance method provided by the
Image class. This Method allows us to specify the scaling algorithm
(AREA_AVERAGING, SMOOTH, FAST...). Unforunately the jpeg encoder is only
capable to encode BufferedImage objects an not Image objects. So the
method listed below scales an Image, then uses a MediaTracker to wait
for the end of the scaling process an copy the scaled image into a
BufferedImage. One has to mention that the MediaTracker Contructer needs
a Component object. To me the reason for this is not really obvious, but
it seems we can feed it with any Component ( new Frame() should do the
job).
Regards,
Henning

How can I force iTunes Match to upload a "Duplicate" to the iCloud?
I have one album where the first track was uploaded, and the other eleven tracks are all tagged as "Duplicates." These tracks were not uploaded to the iCloud. How can I force iTunes Match to upload these eleven tracks erroneously tagged as Duplicates?
I'm adding my 2¢ because I just "discovered" iTunes Match yesterday and decided to subscribe thinking there was no downside (doh!).
Well, firstly, there's the enormous downside of Apple's structure not being able to keep up with (what they should have known would be) enormous interest... my iTunes has been matching for >20-hours and has yet to reach half-way up my library. BTW: I thought I read the iTunes Match info fairly thoroughly prior to subscribing and did not see anything about it being for songs vrs full library.
And secondly, and even more important to me, is that Apple's method of determining duplicate songs is not robust enough, especially for classical music and audio books (e.g., LoTR). I have >12000 "songs" in my library, and Match has determined a boatload are duplicates. They are not of course and even if Apple's duplicate-determining algorithm just looked at disc & track numbers it would "know" that. Anyway, there's a fairly good chance I will not have one complete album upload/match out of >500 albums. That's nae Scottish, in anybody's book.
Gotta say, using Garage Band to individually alter >2000 "songs" on the off-chance that may assist Apple's duplicate algorithm to be correct is not gonna happen. If, after the matching/uploading is complete, I still have >even 100-not-duplicate-songs listed as duplicates, I'm getting my $29.95 subscription back.
... and C: does anybody know why Apple's Lion spell check doesn't work on Apple's discussion forums??? -
Can't force Macbook Pro 2010 to shutdown
Hi,
I'd like to know what could be happening:
I can't force the macbook pro to shut down by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds.
I press an hold it for about one minute and nothing happens. I only get menu to choose between restart, sleep, cancel and shut down.
I will appreciate any help.
thank you
Message was edited by: mgcharliethank you very much for your help.
I'm aware of the risks of forcing shut down and always shut down by choosing this on the apple menu, but there are times when you need to force shut down.
Right now I'm experiencing the freeze bug on the new macbooks pro. While everybody report they have to force shut down, thats not a option for me. The first time my system froze I tried to force shut down with no luck. I tried several times until I got it to shut down, after 30 seconds or more holding the power button. I really don't know if my battery went off or I got it to force shutting down.
Now I'm trying to force shut down just to see if it works and it doesn't work at all.
do you have any idea what could be happening?
thank you -

How can I 'force' my Macs to look for each other on the network?
OK, I have an iMac with a wired connection to a router, and a MacBook Pro with a wireless connection to the same router. Most of the time, they can 'see' one another on the network, no problem. But, every so often, even after both have been on for a while, I will click the Network icon and the other computer will not appear as available - this happens even when the target computer can see the computer I'm using to try to access it.
So, here's my question: how can I 'force' my Macs to look for (and find) one another on the network?
Thanks... if you need further information, just ask... - beckIf you are using Tiger, go to
Finder menu -> Go -> Connect to Server
Enter the specific IP address of the other Mac where is says +Server Address+. You can find the IP address by running System Profiler or looking at System Preferences Network pane (on the other Mac).
Once you have mounted the volume you to access, make an alias for it and place it in the Dock or on your Desktop. The next time you want to connect to that server, use the alias.
