Cleaning cookies ? Some of my old pictures are missing ?

Hello,
I feel that my iMac is suddenly slow.
I have heard that cleaning up the cookies would help.
So not knowing how to do it, I went to History and click on "Clear History"
thinking it would works its magic.
Some of my old pictures are now missing ?
Please tell me the "how to" to speed the iMac
and.... that these pictures are not gone forever. thank you

I don't think cleaning cookies will speed up your mac. But just so you know, Safari preferences, Security, Show Cookies. From there you can clear all the cookies or do it selectively.
For flash cookies use the Flash Player system preference, Storage, delete all or selectively with eh local storage settings by site.
Can't help with the pictures. Clearing history in a browser shouldn't do anything other that just clear where you visited in that browser.
As for speeding up, repair/verify your drives with Disk Utility. Make sure you reserve at least 20GB to 25GB for the OS and it's data space. Run Activity Monitor (in Utilities) and see if there are any processes hogging the cpu and also use it as a guide to decide if you need more ram.

HT4906 I just upgraded to the new iPhoto and all of my old pictures are missing.

As the title says. If I right click the library and open 'Packages', all of my old photos are in a folder called 'Originals' but do not appear when I open iPhoto. When I try to add them into iPhoto, I get an error telling me that they already exist. Can anyone help me figure out how to get them to appear in iPhoto?
Thanks!

Before disassembling your library apply the two fixes below in order as needed to your library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - 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.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I am using Adobe Photshop Elements 11, I just transferred all of my data from an old computer to a new computer, all my pictures and documents transferred fine but, my albums are missing and the date and time that is usually under the picture are missing.

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
The date & Time can be displayed by going to the View menu and checking Details - also File Names if you want them displayed.
The Album information is saved within the catalog so it sounds as though you didn't do a catalog backup on the old computer and a catalog restore on the new computer which is the recommended way of transferring elements data. Did you just copy the photos over?

Help- After upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.4 all of my default user pictures are missing

Hello,
After ugrading to Mountain LIon 10.8.4 on my 2010 1.4 GHz Macbook air and now all of my default user pictures are missing.
I found a similar situation on the net in which the guy says to do this: "logged in as root and trashed the old user icon images file the copied the folder froma ML factory disk image". I have no idea what any of that means or if is for real as an answer or just a way to screw up my computer even more. I need help, and really basic simple instructions like your talking to some one who barely know how to turn on a computer. I would be really grateful to anyone who will help me. Thank you for your time.

I found a simple solution that worked on my Macbook Air running 10.8.4 which was missing all the User pictures when I tried to access them as the computer administrator even through they wer all there in the User Pictures folder in the Library.
I went into the Library Folder and trashed the "User Pictures" Folder.
I then copied the User Pictures folder from my Macbook Pro (also running 10.8.4) that did not have this issue and installed in on the Macbook Air in place of the User Pictures folder I had trashed. Then it all worked fine.

"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing." Help!!

"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing." Help!!
Hello everyone, I have looked throughout this forum but couldn’t find anything similar so I am posting this in the hope of someone helping me out.
I have encountered some problems with iTunes (most recent edition) after doing a Dell update which seems to have knocked something out with iTunes.
Whenever I hit the iTunes icon it refuses to run and iTunes displays the following message:-
"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
I don’t want to reinstall itunes from fresh as this will mean losing all the records and playlists that I have spent the last 3 years using.
I first want to try by getting my old one back by any means neccessary.
Like I said this problem first happened after a standard Dell update.
I do have the option of doing a restore with the Dell or using Windows Vista restore itself but I fear I do not have enough disk space.
On the Dell update I can restore to settings of a previous date which might bring iTunes back but when attempt to do
that I keep getting the following message,
"Not enough free disk space to back up"
Around this time I am given a lists of what will be backed up and this readsas follows:-
Pics 2.87gb
Music 71.72gb
Videos 330.57mb
Documents 219.11mb
Email etc 203.64mb
How do I free up disk space to do the back up? An external hard drive?? If I baIs there anyway of getting a previous version of iTunes back?
My drive information is as follows:-
C Drive: Very little room - red warning - 5.67gb of 138gb
D Drive: 6.34gb of 9.99 free
Do I have too much music?
Ideally don't want to reinstall itunes as is a ball ache, and it has all the playlists etc so if there is
a way of restoring and getting back iTunes either via restoring system to the prior date when iTunes was ok.
C drive is really full now. How can I clean this up and make more room? Do I need to add memory? Are all the songs
causing the problem? What advise can you give me? Please help.
Thanks!

Nodders:
I've recently had exactly the same message as you, after iTunes updated to 10.1.1.4. First of all, I checked the *My Music* folder to make sure it was still there - it was. (I do have a back up of that folder anyway!)
I then chose the re-install iTunes option and a pop-up box asked if I wanted to uninstall iTunes or repair it. I (obviously) chose repair and I'm pretty sure what happened was that the install process simply re-installed a damaged (or missing) file. It far too quick to be a fresh install. My library was intact.
So my advice(for what it's worth) is take the re-install option and then repair option. I can't guarantee anything, but ...
By the way, after I experienced a recent hard drive failure, I decided to invest in a 1TB external drive to back up my iTunes library and personal files because it's a much easier way of backing up than my previous method. Luckily, I only lost a small recent part of my library, but it taught me a lesson. Back up regurlarly, using a larger hard drive than you are using on your computer (which allows you to keep the most recent and +next most recent+ back-ups, and don't rely on Windows to do the backing up. Find a suitable backup piece of software. (My hard drive came with s/w built in.)

All Facebook friends profile pictures are missing, please help?

All of my Facebook friends profile pictures are missing as well as mine. I can see all the photo's that they post to there wall but the little profile pictures are missing?
I have heard that this has been an issue for some!
Any suggestions?

i don't know what happened. i was choosing pictures
to use in imovie and i started going through and
doing a little cleaning up in iphoto. i had some
duplicated photos and was putting those in the trash.
i then emptied my trash. then when i went to open
iphoto again, it was like the first time i was using
it. it asked me if i would like to use iphoto when
connecting my digital camera and then it didn't have
any of my photos! where could they have gone?! how
could my entire library have disappeared? is there
a way to restore it?
PLEASE HELP!

I installed PS CS 6 and now all my iPhoto 11 pictures are missing.

I installed PS CS 6 last night and now all my iPhoto 11 pictures are missing from the library. I had 45,000 plus pictures and some of them were not backed up. I have tried holding the command and alt keys down while starting iPhoto several times but no luck. Does anyone have any idea how I can recover these photos?

Don't see how installing CS 6 could do this.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.

TS1717 I tried to open iTunes but a box pops up. In it is written "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." I have done so a number of times but nothing is working. How can I fix this problem?

iTunes will not open because a dialog box pops up with "Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.". I have done so a few times to no avail. Any solutions for this problem?

No you will not lose your content reinstalling iTunes.
Do this:
1: Download and run the Registry Cleaner of the free Ccleaner.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
2: Next follow this Apple document to un-install iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
3: Just for good measure, run Ccleaner again
4: Reinstall iTunes.
5: Come back here and click my "Correct answer" button.

PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC. I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now when I try to run PS 64-bit I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." When I do this, it seems to install correctly until the very end, then it says "Installation Complete With Errors", and when I try to run I get the same 'component missing message'. What can I do? PS 32 bit runs fine. Some of the other applications ib Web Premium say the shortcut has been changed or removed. I appreciate your help...Thank you

Best advice I can think of is to uninstall and run the Clean Script from here.

Started having trouble with iTunes so I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall but it says ' iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.' Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times. Now what?

I figured it out. A week ago I had downloaded a screensaver from a website I trusted and that's when my problems started. I uninstalled it but that didn't help. So, I reinstalled it then used an uninstall softtware app that cleanns more than the control panel does. Then I used a computer cleaner to be sure everything was wiped clean. And it worked. I downloded iTunes for the 7th time in 2 days and finally it worked! And I lost nothing from my account.
Maybe this info will help others.

ERROR - "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing."

Every time I open iTunes I'm getting the following error:
"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
This started after I installed iTunes 8.0.2.20 on my PC (running Windows XP SP3) to get the latest version after purchasing an iPhone.
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, & fixing iTunes. I've also tried uninstalling & reinstalling Quicktime using versions 7.3.1.70 & 7.55.90.70. With 7.3.1.70 installed I got an error stating something like iTunes 8.0.2.20 is only compatible Quicktime 7.55.90.70 & to reinstall iTunes.
No matter what I do the same error message appears whenever I try to access iTunes.
I can get into iTunes immediately after an install if I remove Quicktime & clean my Windows registry but if I then close iTunes & reopen it I get the missing file error.
I'm not having this problem with my wife's PC running Vista & iTunes 8.0.2.20.
This is starting to get VERY frustrating. Please, if anyone can help I would GREATLY appreciate it.

Seriously ***!!!
I thought I hit some gold with this:
http://zardozz.com/zz/2008/04/how-to-completely-uninstall-and-remove-all-traces- of-itunes.html
I picked up Revo Uninstaller per the above directions here:
http://www.download.com/Revo-Uninstaller/3000-2096_4-10687648.html
& proceeded setting to work cleaning out the complete Apple suite as directed. 5 hours later, after downloading a brand new copy of iTunes, & having supposedly removed all traces of anything Apple, I'm right back where I was, getting the same "required files are missing" error!
I've got a $300 iPhone that I can't use properly because their software won't play nice.
Like I said at the beginning of this post ***! Now I'm beginning to move from agitated to flat out angry! >:-(
Does ANYONE know what else I can try, or if there is a phone number I can call to get some technical support from Apple?

Open in Photoshop CS5 errors with "Some of the application Components are Missing...

After doing a migration from one mac to another mac with the Migration Assistant, when I try to edit a lightroom file with the Open In CS5 I get a dialog that comes up "Some of the application Components are Missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application.
Well I have reinstalled photoshop, actually uninstalled it first, the reinstalled twice...once with "keep preferences" and once without. I have also run the Adobe Upgrader and everything is up to date. Lightroom is up to date.
Any ideas??

Since you can open a photo in CS5 when selecting <Open anyway>, I would also think that this is a problem of Lr.
When you select <Render using Lightroom> Lr creates the PSD (or TIFF) and sends it to CS5.
So it seems that this part of Lr that is creating a PSD (or TIFF) from your Raw image is missing / broken.
Most probably something got left behind when you used the Migration Assistant.
I would suggest this: Download from Adobe's website the trial version of Lr 4.3. The trial version is a full version with all features enabled, but it runs only for 30 days.
Each time you open the trial version you get the option <I want to buy>. Select this option and enter your serial number. This will unlock the trial version for unlimited use.
Maybe it would be good to un-install your current Lr before re-installing the downloaded file to ensure that you do a "clean" re-installation.

ITunes 10.6.1.7: "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." ?

Fakt:
iTunes 10.6.1.7 Fehlermeldung: "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
Jeder Versuch iTunes zu starten war bisher vergeblich: unter anderem auch das Vorgehen nach Artikel HT1925 der knowledge base.
Frage:
Windows XP Neuinstallation und/oder Installation einer älteren iTunes-Version als letzter Ausweg?

Antwort und Lösung eine Woche später:
Deinstallation und Neuinstallation von iTunes 10.6.1.7 produziert dieselbe Fehlermeldung.
Es hilft nur eine Reparatur von iTunes unter Systemsteuerung / Software. Allerdings muss hier Windows XP mit Hilfe von Ausführen / msconfig im benutzerdefinierten Modus erneut gestartet werden - ohne APSDaemon, Avira und Skype zu laden!
Die Fehlermeldung unterblieb, die Reparatur schritt voran, meldete Erfolg und benannte eine wohl defekte Datenenbank unter C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccountName\My Documents\My Music\iTunes um in:
