Gray Thumbnails for Events and others

Hello,
I've searched and tried everything to fix this and nothing seems to work.
I had a laptop running 10.5.8 and iPhoto 09. I copied the iPhoto library to a new MPB running 10.6.1 and iPhoto 09. Both versions of iPhoto were fully updated. When I opened iPhoto, all my thumbnails were gray. If I click all the way to the picture, it's still there. I also had Keyword Manager installed, but when I tried installing it on the new laptop, it didn't fix the problem.
I've tried repairing permissions with Disk Utility as well as rebuilding the small thumbnails, rebuilding the thumbnail cache and repairing library using the optioncommandopen utility.
Any help would be more than appreciated

Rebuilding the thumbnails can take several goes In my experience.
If that fails:
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.
Regards
TD

    I have also noticed the same "problem".  I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

  • Why can't I delete or rename files in Word for Mac and other Office programs?

    When I try to delete or rename an Office for Mac file, I can't.  How do I delete/rename Word for Mac and other Office for Mac files?

    Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

  • IOS 8 - pictures not uploading in safari for facebook and other websites?

    IOS 8 - pictures not uploading in safari for facebook and other websites? I just upgraded to IOS 8 on my iPad 3 retina display and when I try to upload pictures in safari for facebook, the picture upload just stalls and never completes. This happens in other sites as well. How can I fix this? Is anyone also experiencing this issue???

    Hi Hindhaughlee, <br />Thanks for the post.
    This may not be the best place to post such a solution but maybe some users will find it. If it turns out to be a major problem with a simple solution maybe we will manage to document it somewhere.
    Are you able to provide more details please:
    * exactly what software and software versions is the problem with ? <br /> You appear to be a Windows 8 user, but presumably the Kaspersky software may be applicable to other Windows versions, which Kaspersky software is this tested with ?
    * What is he exact error message or warning that Kaspersky generates in this situation ?
    * is the problem documented elsewhere, preferably in a public open site, if so maybe you could provide a link
    * can you detail simple but exact detailed Steps To Reproduce that will enable others to test out this problem and solution.
    Cheers
    John <br /> <sub>One of the forum moderators J99<sub>
    P.S. <br />
    Anyone with this problem finding that the solution works may wish to vote for this thread and solution. Or if someone else can produce links to examples of this or you are able to give precise Steps To Reproduce please add a post of your own.

  • Read Only for "Group" and "Others" via SMB

    I see when Windows vista users of my OS X 10.5.8 server save a file to the server, the permissions show on the server as Read & Write for the owner and Read Only for 'Group' and 'Others'.
    Is there a way I can make the OS X server always make 'Group' and 'Others' always be Read & Write?
    Thanks!

    It's using a shared component LOV cleverly called LOV_YN which consists of a static LOV with
    1 Display=Yes, Return=Y
    2 Display=No, Return=N
    The settings in the LOV section on the item iteself:
    Named LOV: LOV_YN
    Display Extra values: No Dynamic translation: Not translated
    Number of columns: 2 Display null: No
    Null display value is blank as is null return value
    Item was setup as a radio group and was only converted over to a select list to work around this issue. Let me know what else you need and thanks again.

  • Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    I want to delete photos from camera roll on my iPhone to clear space to install ios7 but after importing photos to iPhoto on my macbook pro only 4 out of 339 photos taken in September landed in events, though all 339 are in Sept photo stream. It seems like on previous uploads all photos "fell" into events according to the day they were taken, as well as into photostream. I want to make sure these photos stick around permanently and do not exist only in photo stream where I imagine they will eventually be bumped from my computer (photostream). Can anyone explain why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    You have uploaded two different things - pHotos are in one and only one event - if you have the same photo in two different events then you have imported it twice
    Please explain what you want - your initial question and yoru current comments are 180 degrees apart
    You say they are not all in events
    Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?
    Now you say they are
    All 15 pics appear in  Sept 2013 PS
    It sound to me like you have no problem except you imported some photos twice adn you may not understand how the automatic import form PS works - but that is not clear
    you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
    The event they are imported into is MMMM YYYY PS
    If you import via iTunes sync or by connecting your IOS device via USB then they are importeed into the regular event structrue as defined in your iphoto preferences - and if you imoport via two or more different methods you will ahe duplicates

  • HT5163 is there any difference in packaging of ipad air for india and other countries because i've not gotten a sim eject tool for my IPAD AIR? Plz help.

    Is there any difference in packaging of IPAD AIR for INDIA and other countries?
    because i didn't get any sim eject tool in IPAD AIR box.

    I believe it does vary depending on country.  A paper clip works equally well, so I wouldn't get too upset.

  • Skype for 8520 and other BB version's / Question needed to be answered by Blackberry support for everyone!

    This is a question that seriously needs answering for myself and other BB customer's.
    Personally the only reason I have a BB is because I can have window's live messenger on it, But WLM is closing in April and updating to skype, Meaning everyone who use's WLM that their contact's will be going there and not to any other network!
    Now I've read from what I've researched that BB maybe will be joining with oovoo something like that, Why when that is not where people's MSN/Hotmail contact's will be going ?
    BB paying customer's to BB product's want access to there MSN/Hotmail contact's not to be diverted to another service that does not have their MSN/Hotmail contact's.
    Also I have seen that skype or something along those line's will be available for the new BB 10, So what about earlier product's such as BB curve 8520 that I personally own myself that has nothing wrong with it?
    So us paying BB customer's are going to be excluded because we don't have a brand new version of BB due to there being nothing wrong with the BB's we have? Which so were going to be penalized?
    I would like these question's answered please because I am not happy about this and I'm sure a lot of other BB customer's are not too, It's not anyone's fault that WLM is going to be taken away but atleast make sure that BB customer's have a skype app to access their MSN/Hotmail contact's and can conversant with them directly like WLM.
    Honestly I love my BB and wouldn't be without it purely because I'm able to log in WLM when I like, Where ever I am and talk to my contact's directly, Not all people have BB's and can not be added to BB messenger which is why WLM is a priority on BB app's for BB customer's, Is something going to be done about this? Because if not then that is just wrong which will result in many valued BB customer's changing to other phone's purely because out of being penalized of not having the newer version of BB 10 or not having skype at all regardless of IM+, We should have a direct Skype app and be able to have direct gain to our MSN/Hotmail contact's like we did on WLM.
    So can someone answer this please and give us BB customer's confirmation on what is going to happen, Thank you.
    For those of you BB customer's who are reading this who use WLM and is important to you as it is myself, Like this thread please so it get's noticed so that action will be taken. Thank you.

    The answer is actually simple...example...6.0.0.415 for a 9860 is very different from 6.0.0.415 for a 9670. Hence, the app developers must port their apps to every combination of (usually) major OS level (e.g., 6.0, 7.0, 7.1) and specific device model number. That's a lot of combinations to which they must port their app...and many choose to not do them all. But the choice is the app developers.
    Good luck!

  • 8.0.2 - problem 1 - unable to scroll screen when the keyboard is present. Huge problem for emails and other cloud based providers that allow for data entry. We need a fix ASAP!

    8.0.2 - problem 1 - unable to scroll screen down or up when the keyboard is present. When typing text, I am unable to see the text I am writing due to this problem. Huge problem for emails and other cloud based providers that allow for data text entry. While the keyboard is present, I am unable to scroll down to see the text, the screen automatically scrolls back up to the top of the screen. We need a fix ASAP!

    Have you tried resetting your iPad? You will not lose any data. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Illustrator CS5 Not the Default for EPS and other Vector Formats

    Hey everyone, the issue I'm haveing is not just with Illustrator, but sense I couldnt find a general CS5 forum, and Illustrator was the last CS5 application i noticed this for I'm hoping to find some answers here.
    So on to the issue....
    I have noticed that on other computers (Macs for sure) that Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc... are set as the default handlers of certain file types that are associated with each application, and as such, give each filetype there own little icons reflecting such.
    However on my system (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) this does not seem to be the case. I can go in and set them as default manually, which I have done for the filetypes I use most frequently, but I do not get to enjoy the nice icons that made for each filetype, i just get a bland, default icon that is the same for every filetype.
    Is there a way to fix this issue?
    Thanks for you help.

    Yes, I think i mentioned it before that I knew I could set the default app through Explorer (right clicking, going to "open with" etc..) but this doesn't let you use any of the custom icons that come with the adobe applications, it sets it as the default icon associated witht he particular application. I'll take a look in the properties when I get home but, but I think you may be referring to the "open with" dialogue.
    Most applications like Firefox, iTunes etc.. have a button in there preferences menu to "set as default" for all file types they can open, however I don't see such an option in any Adobe applications except for bridge, and that doesn't seem to do anything.

    I believe in the properties pane for one of those files it will display the default app for opening such files and you can  change it there as well and make it apply to all similar files.

  • Virtual environment license for sql and other dependencies of sharepoint in Azure

    We have Microsoft ActionPack. And we use Sharepoit 2013 from ActionPack , which is installed on our server.
    But our on premise server doesn't satisfy the hardware requirement for sharepoint, and thus it is too slow to use.
    So we decided to move sharepoint 2013 to Microsoft azure. 
    But we don't have any idea of virtual environment license for sql and other dependencies of sharepoint in Azure.
    Do we have to purchase separate license for sql server and other dependencies.?

    Hi BabeeshC,
    Before you deploy SharePoint 2013 on the Azure platform, you must ensure that your Azure virtualization solution meets all the licensing requirements.
    Every element of a SharePoint 2013 farm that is installed on Azure virtual machines must comply with the licensing requirements for SharePoint 2013 and related and supporting technologies.
     SharePoint 2010 and SQL Server licenses should be purchased separately.
