Did anyone else have numerous events merged into one called "From MobileMe" after MM ended?

I just recently noticed that on June 30th, when I was prompted by iPhoto to import the old MobileMe albums after MM ended, that many of my events were merged into one event called "From MobileMe". The correlation was that they were all MM albums that I had uploaded directly from the event itself to create the album.
It also caused some other strange behavior with blank thumbnails for one set of photos, yet they appeared in their original event as well. I am so dissappointed. Apple only had a year to figure this out.
Has anyone else had this problem, and how have you handled it. The only two options I'm seeing are restore from Time Machine (but then lose everything I've imported and organized since July 1st, or just going through, reorganizing them, and hoping that none were accidentally deleted. So annoying.

The Apple Genius helped me sort out the problem: one bad FW800 cable!
All my switiching things around, with phone support from multiple Apple Advisors, trying to figure it out and that one cable always managed to work its way into the mix! Only when the Genius and I had multiple Thunderbolt-enabled devices to experiment with were we able to isolate the bad cable. Odd how the problem seemed to mimick the random-unmounting issue others have been experiencing.
My 2012 iMac itself is in perfect working order! As are the G-Drives. Best possible outcome for me!
Thanks for your feedback.

HT5129 Did anyone else have iPhoto just become unresponsive when it attempted to scan the old mobile me gallery?

The migration fails, it never ends and makes iPhoto unusable....did anyone else have a similar problem?

Is it the tell a friend email link that you're referring to? Can you click on the gallery link in iPhoto and get to it online? The link will contain numbers as the folder for the gallery is identified by a 6 digit number.
If it's the link in the email that gets created by the tell a friend that you're referring to you might post in the Mail forum also.
All I can think to do is go to iPhoto/Gallery preference pane and stop publishing. Then republish and see if you can get the email link to work.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I have an iphone 4, when I plug in headphones I can pick up music and only background sounds, but no voices. It happens on every video or movie I see, but music works perfectly fine. Did anyone else have this problem or was it just me?

Hey there Srkupo,
It sounds like your vocal audio is not working with your headphones connected to your iPhone. I would start with the troubleshooting from the following article to help troubleshoot them named:
Resolve issues with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch accessories
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2634
Update your software
Install the latest version of iOS. You can see which version is on your iPhone by going to the About screen.
If the device doesn't update successfully, the issue might be with your device and not the accessory. Learn how to check your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Disconnect and inspect the accessory, then restart your device
Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible.
Inspect the connection between the accessory and device and make sure that no debris or other damage is present.
Restart your iOS device by turning it off, then back on. When the Home screen appears, reconnect the accessory.
Try a different device
Make sure the issue is with the accessory, if possible. Always use an identical or similar, compatible device with the accessory you're troubleshooting.
If there's static coming from the left audio channel when you use headphones, try connecting the headphones to a similar device.
If the device isn't syncing when connected to the dock, connect it directly to the computer using the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or try another USB port.
If you're using Lightning to 30-pin Adapter in a connection chain, try using the same adapter on a similar or identical device.
Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restore your iOS device. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
If this does not resolve the issue could you elaborate on where you are listening to this content from to help isolate the issue?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

I can't login to Facebook from the app or on Safari. Is anyone else have this issue? I deleted FB from my iPhone 4 and reinstalled it. Still didn't work.

All my events merged into one after Yosemite and iPhoto update

I am running iPhoto 9.6 on Yosemite 10.10. Some short time after updating iPhoto, I found all my events had merged into one. I tried to find the old library, thinking I could tell iPhoto to use the old library, but couldn't find it at all. Then I thought I could go into Time Machine, which I tried several times, and restore my Mac to two days ago before this happened. But that did nothing either. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

basically you are doing something wrong - events do not merge on their own and if you are running TM then you can restore the iPhoto library from ir - Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
You can use the autosplit command to split the "big" event according to your preference settings

Did anyone else have a 'you must restart your computer' screen today?

I leave my imac on 24/7. This am, I switched from my wifes user profile to miine, checked my email, got done, closed mail, and was going to open my browser (firefox) and the screen dimmed (like before going to screen saver) and then a gray message box about 3" X 4" with the circular power icon image in light gray background came on in the center of the screen, saying "You must restart your computer-please hold down your power button until computer shuts down (paraphrased). Nothing was going to allow me to do anything else (no cursor movement with the mouse, esc did nothing)so I powered down, and let it restart. Seems ok, I just want to know if anyone else has ever seen or experienced this happening. What entity would facilitate this restart? Apple? My ISP? Some spyware?

OK....I used the 'maintenance' utility, and ran scripts, repaired permissions, etc. When my computer restarted, I went to my wifes profile, ran 'disk utility' to repair permissions on her profile. Then I opened her browser and cleared her data, ie search cache, website cache, everything except her logon data. When that was done, I went back to my profile, and opened the browser. I'm at that point now, and all seems to be well. But then it seemed well when this first occured. Any guesses as to why this happened or what might have caused it to happen? A program conflict? A visit to a data-mining webpage? I know that some will tell you (or me) that macs are supposedly immune to viral or malware attacks, but there also are those who will argue that it is impossible to protect any computer, even a mac, from all infections. So, part curiosity and part pessimism create a curiosity. Any input would help.
Thanks.

Did anyone else have their phone reset after trying to update?

I had the same problems as most doing the update last night, then suddenly my phone came up with the plug into iTunes symbol. Even when I updated it stayed with that symbol, like t was stuck.
Eventually I managed to get it to reset, but it didn't restore from the backup so I lost everything. :(
How do I get it to restore from backup? Or have I lost all my photos?
Did anyone get this problem?

I'm experiencing a similar problem. My thunderbolt external drive (Lacie) and my external video card (TripleHeadtoGo) are both unrecognized. The Matrox troubleshooting tools say it's not even connected...
Resetting PRAM and SMC worked one time, but the next time my mac went to sleep, it lost the connection again, and I've now down several resets & reboots, and I've still got no thunderbolt connectivity. Very frustrating.
Avoiding bad updates is part of why I switched from Windows to a Mac.

Did anyone else have endless problems getting your...

I am astonished by BT. As a new customer, I thought I would go for BT as they seem to be pretty reliable once set up which is the main thing I need. I had heard reports that getting your line connected and set up can be problematic, but I never thought it would be as bad as this!!
I applied online on the 25th of Feb and all seemed good with an engineer due on the 3rd March to connect the line and broadband to be activated same day. This didn't happen. After a very long phone call, most of it spent on hold, I was advised that they would call back after 48 hours to let me know the new date for an engineer to visit. I never got a call. After another lengthy cal, I was finally given an activation date of the 11th March. This was interesting since the phone line wasn't connected. Not a problem I thought as I had then received a letter telling me an engineer would come to connect the phone on the 16th. The hub arrived on the 11th as expected, the engineer on the 16th. This is not the end of the story!! I am still waiting for the broadband to be activated!!! After the engineer left, still with no broadband, I called BT and it turns out that they never activated it. They are looking into when they will be able to do this and will give me a call back!!!!!
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I am at serious risk of going bald after ripping all of my hair out in frustration!!! Is it worth waiting a bit longer or should I just cancel the whole order since they have yet to deliver the service I have subscribed to?!?! If I ditch BT, does anyone have any suggestions about who I should go with?!

Thanks for the email!
Here's the latest:
I have phoned somebody at BT everyday since the 16th, always being told I would get a call back within 24hrs, but never getting that elusive call back. I have to say that everyone I have spoken to has been very friendly, looked into the problem for me, and has done everything that they can to help, it seems that it is the teams they pass the query on to that are the problem. The lady I spoke to yesterday credited my account with a months broadband as an apology for all of the problems which is nice.
I got a text message and a couple of emails in the early hours of the morning today saying my broadband was active and ready to use. It isn't. I phoned again today and was told to ignore the messages as they are wrong. My new (this is the 4th one now) activation date is the 26th. So this means that thanks to the credit to my account, I am not paying for something that I don't have! I might as well not have bothered placing the order in the first place as I'd be in exactly the same position I am now, but would have had time to eat lunch on my lunchbreaks instead of spending them on the phone to BT!
Anyone want to place a bet on whether I will be connected on the 26th or not? Maybe it will be 4th time lucky! Personally I really doubt it. Order will be cancelled if they fail this time.

Did Anyone else have a disruption on NBC HD Monday and Tuesday night?

We were watching the voice on Monday & Tuesday night and both nights NBC HD completely stopped working on all our tvs ... I was wondering if that has happened to anyone else?

Happened to us too, first time The Voice just froze and has to unplug the unit to unfreeze it, and it keeps freezing in the same spot. The second night of The Voice it went to black and then starts playing Jay Leno. Very weird, now we have missed the second half of both episodes of The Voice. What is up??

HT5167 did anyone else have their entourage email app shut down with no way to access it?

downloading 10.7.4 shut down my entourage email program. I cannot access it at all. I also cannot get any of my passwords to work on any email solution. ie. I downloaded the free trial of MS Word and tried Mail. Neither will transfer entourage data. they say they can't find it. I can't get my passwords to work on either of them also.

IPhoto '09 events "merged" into one big event

It isn't clear what happened, but all of our events got merged into a single event after a restart of iPhoto. Both the Events and Photos folders show just the one event. All 10,000+ photos are in this one event. All of the Albums, Books, etc. seem to be still there and in place.
Is there anyway one can automatically rebuild the events from the time/date info (the photos still have their timestamps)?

It is the same in both views. In events view, there is one event with a date starting in '01 - '09. In the photos view, there is same range of dates/photo count listed first. Opening either opens up all of the photos in the library.
The good news is all of the photos are still there. Also, all of the albums, books, etc are still there. Just lost the event/roll type organization (which is useful on its own).
I know that during one of the earlier upgrades of iLife, events were automatically created from the old photo library based upon some criteria (I presumed it was date imported or date taken), but I didn't see this as an option anywhere. I do know about recreating a library but I'm not sure that is the best path taken.

I can't open the PDF for the free install since both my emails did not come with a password. Did anyone else have this problem???

I purchased 2 new Macs, 1 a Mac Air 13" loaded and an iMac for my wife. I received 2 sets of emails, one with the code and the other with the PDF. When I tried to install last night, I would open the PDF and it asked for a password. I checked both sets of emails, which Aopple sent me 2 sets 3 days apart, and neither one had anything looking like a password. I called Apple Care and they said that it was on the sheet under the Thank hyou from Apple...NOT! She then said they would resend the emails again and hopefully have the password this time. Has anyone had this issue??????

Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
2. Select to "Options
3. Select "Applications"
4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

Did anyone else have all their wireless airport relay base stations suddenly reset at 4:30 PM August 5 2013? I had four base stations at my house reset simultaneously at 4:30.

At 4:30 PM today all of my secondary base stations simltaneously reset and lost connection. I am wondering what might have caused this. All of my eithernet connected stations remained green and connected but the relay stations sudenly lost any recognition for the network and required a restart to find one another angain. I will occasionally have one go off the reservation but all at exactely teh same time gives me pause to consider a bug.

I have the same proble, I posted my question but still nobody answers me yet. If you get to kknow something please let me know

Did anyone else have this isse with Verizon's home page?

I was about to post this as an issue that is still going on but now it has stopped. I was just using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer for a while because on IE, Verizon's home page kept automatically starting up "signin.verizon.com" with the spinning circle when I never signed in to begin with; and then it switch back to the home page. It just kept alternating back and forth like that. I noticed this issue last night and then this morning, it just stopped.
I'm guessing this was an issue with Verizon's server?

I'm not sure that this is the exact problem you're experiencing, but you might read through this thread:
http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Off-Topic-Board/Stay-signed-in-to-forum/m-p/698840#M1354
It seems to me the bottom line is the forum is still not 100% compatible with IE 11. The display of the individual forum home pages is somewhat distored and in box where you type a post (where I'm typing now) the icons on the tool bar, spell check, etc, are missing.
But I use IE11 as my primary browser and as described in that other thread, I found a shortcut that will at least open the forum site and sign me in reliably and that shortcut continues to function.

Did anyone else have numerous events merged into one called "From MobileMe" after MM ended?
