  • IPhoto 6.0.3 crashes after double-click library thumbnails

    Recently downloaded and installed the iPhoto 6.0.3 update via Software Update. Now, when I double-click on a thumbnail image, it pauses, switches to "viewer" mode, then immediately crashes without any kind of crash dialog; iPhoto just disappears.
    Permissions are fine, and I've been pretty much crash free for months, until now.
    Anyone else having the same issue? Any suggestions?

    Try the following. It will create an new library from your current one so your old library will remain intact for future fixes if this doesn't work:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/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 File->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: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
    It has worked where other fixes have not. Good luck.

  • Itunes doubled my library

    When I updated my itunes, it doubled every single one of my songs. Is there any way for me to get rid of the doubles?

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • ITunes has doubled my library..

    OK..
    i had a lot of music spread across 3 different HDD's and my iTunes library was working fine. Things happened, and blah blah, i decided to move everything onto one HDD..
    Now, what i've ended up with, is my itunes library of 8587 songs, on one HDD, but if i just browse to my music library folder, and look in certain artists, etc, i actually have the album twice.. one track named normally, and another track with a 1 at the end..
    now viewing it in itunes, it only shows me 1 track..
    Ideally, i don't want to lose my play counts and play lists... but what i do want to do, is get rid of the duplicates that I have within my file structure..
    All this because i've finally decided to get time machine working on my new iMac

    Do I have to sit and untick all the !'d items?
    No.
    You should remove them from your library.
    Sort by *Date added*. Are all these items grouped at top/bottom?
    If so, just select them and delete them.

  • IPhoto 8.1.2 Double Library File After Lion Install

    Hi, After Lion install I'v got a double iPhoto Library File in iPhoto 8.1.2 whil I have only one library.
    Is this normal ? Is there a way to get rid of one of the two files or to combine them ? On other Macs only one file shows up.
    See screenshots.
    In the Finder only one iPhoto Library appear in the images file.
    This is the content of the IPhoto Library package :

    That's an issue with the Dock. I would trash the Dock caches. I would post on the Using Mac OS X forum for more on that.

  • How to use iPhoto with 1 photo library and 2 user accounts on 1 iMac ?

    Title says it all.
    I don't want to have a double picture library, it takes enough space from my harddisk already.
    My wife and I share the same camera too. We want to see the same pictures when using iPhoto.
    Possible solution: Do I have to make a softlink from 1 user account to the photo lib that belongs to the other account ? [in Terminal:  ln /Users/.... etc.)
    (Yes, I'm an ex-Linux user)
    Thnx
    Fred4711

    If you want to have the same data, do you need separate accounts? A surprising number of people think that must have separate ccounts and they really don't need to.
    Anyway:
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • I have a damaged library file, and a few questions?

    My laptop shut down instantly because of a charger/battery problem and when I started itunes up again I got the message (importing itunes music library.xml) I thought it was going to double my library so I clicked stop and when itunes opened only half of my collection was there and all playlists/smart playlists are gone.
    Can someone give me some advice as to how I can bring the songs back into my library with all of the tags I have edited, (Album, Comments, Sort Album, Genre etc..) 
    I had the option to copy files to itunes music folder checked, so does that mean that every edit I made in itunes would change the file names in the music folder?
    I still have the Itunes database file - (iTunes Library (Damaged) (date modified 15/01/2012 12:02). But there is no exact file called (itunes music library.xml)
    I do have a some sort of document with that name listed as an XML Document (date modified 15/01/2012 13:55) (about 2 hours after the problem occurred) but it just opens a webpage. I can also open it in a notepad etc.. and it brings up loads of encoding detail.
    Is there any way to restart that XML import? 
    I am sure I still have most of, if not all of my music, but it's very important for me to get back the tag info.
    It would also be great if I can get back the smart playlists and date added, but this is the least important.
    I'm in the middle of a slow process of transferring the itunes folder to my old laptop to see how it looks before I make any changes here, but I'm not sure how many songs I had exactly, do you think there would be any reason songs got deleted because of this? There are no songs in my itunes collection stored in folders other than the itunes folder.
    You are saving my life if you can help me here.
    Thanks.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Installed 7 created dupe empty files in library...any way to easily delete?

    I upgraded to the new Itunes. It initially lost my whole library settings..i.e. there were only empty files which would not play. I reset the link to the library, which is on a external drive, and consolidated the files. I now have doubled the library up so there are 3000+ files which are duplicated and dont play AND the same amount which do play. I know I can delete the duplicated empty files one by one by highlighting the exclamation point and delete. Is there a way to do this en masse? I did 600 or so and I think I have a repetitive motion disorder....

  • How to delete old Adobe reader plugin from Safari?

    Hi,
    I can no longer view pdfs within Safari.
    I deleted Adobe reader 7.0 and installed 11. Now Safari does not open embedded pdf's anymore. I suspect Safari is looking for reader 7.0. I think so, because in Safari>prefs>security>Internetplugins there is a list where both versions of reader are visible, the old version seems to be the active one.
    I probably better had not deleted Reader 7.0 by hand...
    How do I make Safari understand it should use Adobe Reader 11.0?
    Thanks,
    Wim

    Exit Safari.
    In Finder > Preferences > Sidebar, under DEVICES, check the top box which will be your assigned computer name. This will make it available to you in an open Finder window.
    Open a new Finder window, scroll the left panel down until you see the DEVICES section, and single-click on the name of your computer. The contents of the main Finder window will change and you will see a network globe, and for our focus, a silver icon of a disk drive with your boot drive name — probably Macintosh HD.
    Double-click Macintosh HD. Double-click Library. Scroll down until you see Internet Plug-Ins, and double-click that folder. Holding your shift-key down, select the following icons:
    AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
    Now, with both icons selected, right-click to bring up the contextual menu and choose Copy 2 Items. Then, click once on your desktop, press and hold the option key with right-click. This time, you will see Move 2 Items Here. Select this and the plug-ins will be moved to your Desktop.
    You now have a choice of default Safari PDF viewing, or if you prefer the Adobe PDF plug-ins, reinstall Adobe Reader 11.0.04 (as of this post date) to reinstate the Acrobat PDF browser plug-ins. Once this is working, drag the Adobe plug-ins on your Desktop to the trash.

  • I have converted/copied my itunes oto mp3 format to play on my PC. unfortunatly I didi not specify a different folder fro the mp3's. I therefore have itunes side by side with my mp3's all in the same folder. How can I remove the mp3's into another folder.

    I have converted my itunes on my imac to mp3 format so i could play them on my pc. unfortunatly  i did not specify a seperate folder for the mp3's to be sent to once converted.
    i now have itunes and mp3's side by side in the itunes media folder. this has the effect of doubling my library.
    how can i get rid of the mp3's from this folder en mass, other than erasing them one by one, there are 7000!!!

    Click on 'Music' in the iTunes sidebar. Look to see whether you have a 'Kind' column:
    If you haven't, choose 'View Options' from the 'View' menu and check 'Kind':
    Now go to the Music list again and click on the label of the 'Kind' column. This will group all your AACs and MP3s together. Locate the MP3s: click on the top one. Hold the shift key and click on the bottom one to select them all. If you want to save them drag them to a folder on your Desktop. Then hit 'Delete'. IMPORTANT: when promted, choose to have them moved to the Trash, otherwise they will be removed from the list but kept in the actual library.

  • HP LaserJet 2100TN Errors in Leopard

    Greetings! First off, I must say that after searching the forums for the past hour, I've been impressed with this community, particularly Andrew (the HP developer). Unfortunately, I didn't find an answer, thus this posting!
    I upgraded to Leopard about two months ago, and I get intermittent errors. I've outlined them below. I am connect via the IP JetDirect protocol.
    The error usually comes when I'm printing certain graphics-intense files (such as a Microsoft Word document with several image files embedded). Here's an example of a page issued by the printer:
    ERROR: undefinedresult
    OFFENDING COMMAND: xshow
    STACK:
    [65.2 36.2 56.0 61.0 54.0 23.0 73.2 56.0 21.0 61.0 53.1 27.9999 23.0 0.0 ]
    (!"#$%&’#($)*&&)
    If I connect to my HP LaserJet 3330 (via USB), I'm able to print the same file fine!

    After the most recent security upgrade, my LaserJet 2100TN ceased to function completely (Error: Printer not responding).
    I had emailed HP some time ago asking if and when they were going to support the Leopard upgrade with new drivers. I got the following response, which I finally did today, and it works beautifully. It even fixed the Tray 1, 2, manual feed issue that someone mentioned above.
    "Hello ,
    Thank you for contacting Hewlett-Packard's Commercial Solutions Center.
    We understand that you are not able to print from OS 10.5 using your HP LaserJet 2100.
    Regarding the Mac OS 10.5 when you make the upgrade or a brand new installation the Operating System should already come with the HP Drivers pre-installed and those are the ones who work with that OS. Also you can go to the Print & Fax Window and then you highlight the printer and go to options & supplies then go to drivers and from there you check what driver are you using can also select the Generic Postscript driver that should also be compatible with that printer and with your Operating System.
    NOTE: Installing the Software from the HP Website might create you conflict since the drivers come already preinstalled with the OS. So we recommend doing an uninstall and then manually install them from Leopard DVD.
    Removing the .gz file:
    Double-click the hard drive icon, by default labeled Macintosh HD.
    Double-click Library.
    Double-click Printers
    Double-click PPDs folder.
    Double-click Contents.
    Double-click Resources.
    Scroll through the list until you find the HP Laserjet 2100 Series.gz file; single-click it and drag it to the Trash.
    Restart and empty trash
    Delete the printer
    Install HP Drivers for Leopard
    Insert your Leopard installation DVD, click on the Optional Installs icon
    Then Optional Installs.mpkg
    Then Continue
    Agree to the License
    Then from the Custom Install window click on the arrow next to the Printer Drivers
    Then put a checkmark on the Hewlett-Packard Printer Drivers and then click on continue
    Finish the installation and then restart your Mac.
    Add the printer again.
    Then try Printing.
    Once again, thank you for contacting Hewlett-Packard's Commercial Solutions Center."

  • Do not have mobileme account, but, iphoto starts connection process and I get repeated error messages "difficulty connecting to mobileme"...how do I fix?

    I do not have a MobileMe account.  Yet, when trying to upload photos from iPhoto to FaceBook I get repeated messages, "Difficulty connecting to MobileMe."  This is after the rainbow wheel spins for a while.  Sometimes I have to force quit iPhoto because iPhoto locks up.  This also happens on occasion while I'm working in iPhoto, such as moving between albums or editing features.  I use iPhoto '11 with latest updates.  How can I resolve this issue?

    Hey,
    If you've resolved the issue by turning off syncing then no further troubleshooting is needed.  Having syncing turned off will prevent you from syncing an iOS device over USB with calendars / contacts.  The only time iPhoto talks to MobileMe is if you have a MobileMe account added (as far as I am aware).
    If you wish to troubleshoot further:
    I checked out my User>Library>Caches and >Preferences.  Neither had a >com.apple.iphoto file.
    These must exist otherwise iPhoto would not be working at all as they are required for it to launch.  Lets try another route to get to the same location.
    Click on the Finder icon in the dock (smiley face)
    Go to "Go" > "Home" at the top of the computer screen
    Double-click "Library"
    Double-click "Caches"
    Go to "View" > "As List" at the top of the computer screen
    -- This list should now be alphabetical...if not click on the column called "Name" to alphabatize
    -- Locate a blue folder called "com.apple.iphoto" and remove to the trash
    Click on the Finder icon in the dock (smiley face)
    Go to "Go" > "Home" at the top of the computer screen
    Double-click "Library"
    Double-click "Preferences"
    Go to "View" > "As List" at the top of the computer screen
    -- This list should now be alphabetical...if not click on the column called "Name" to alphabatize
    -- Locate the files called "com.apple.iphoto" they will have a variety of endings. As long as they say "com.apple.iphoto" drag them to the trash.
    - Restart the computer
    If the issue persists I would try with a new iPhoto Library.  Hold down option and launch iPhoto and create a new library.  Add a picture or two and then test.

  • I've lost iCal.

    iPhone 4. I set it up as Google calendar, but I don't like how it's working. I'd like to try using iCal and synching it to Google calendar, which has my husband's data. But I can't find iCal. The icon leads to Google calendar, even after deleting it on the settings page. How do I get iCal back?
    Thanks!

    Is this correct: you had multiple calendars; they disappeared from the calendar pane and their events from the main pane; you deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ical.plist; you now have a single calendar (Home) but cannot make more; you can see the events in Home?
    Can you add events to Home?
    Can you see as many folders in ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/ as you used to have calendars?
    Double-click ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/nodes.plist. Click the black triangle beside the word Root. In the line "List Array ..." how many ordered objects are reported? Does this match your original calendar count?
    What have you added/changed/modified recently? Might it have involved any fonts?
