Has anyone had a good experience with iPhoto 6?

After reading all these posts, I'm afraid to install iPhoto 6. Are these problems an aberration, or are most mac users experience these problems?

iPhoto 6 has installed and run well for me,, EXCEPT,, the only new feature that I've tried is Photocasting. I made a Photocast, and then subscribed to it myself to test how it would work. I was able to do it although I was surprised how long it took,, about 45 minutes to upload (36 images.. and I have cable/broadband). It downloaded much quicker of course, about 15 minutes. Then,, I "announced the address to 120 friends and acquaintances. Out of all of them (these are people who ALL respond back to my communications right away) so far I have heard from about 5 - 10, only ONE of them could figure out how to view it. So essentially, I annoyed everyone with the product. Sounds cool in the Apple demonstration,, but as a practical matter,, probably best to skip using it. I certainly hope that the other iWeb applications work better but I haven't tried them yet.

Has anyone had a good experience with the 4.2 install?

I only see negative reports posted. Is anyone's upgraded iPad working correctly?

Based on the lack of negative reports in the broader media, I'd say 99% of upgrades are probably working flawlessly. Remember, the media love to jump down Apple's throat for any perceived flaw, as they did for the iPhone antenna issue. No, I'd say so far this is among Apple's more problem-free launches.
As others have noted, this is a tech support forum. Gauging the overall experience of those installing 4.2 by reading the messages here is akin to taking a poll at your local emergency room and concluding that the entire population is sick.

Has anyone had any GOOD luck with FileVault?

I'm reading the horror stories here on the forum about FileVault. I just purchased a new Macbook Pro a few days ago. I'm running Leopard 10.5.2. I tried using FileVault for the first time.
I haven't had any problems at all.
I like my files to be secure. Everyone does... I just don't want to run into any problems down the road.
Is anyone here using FileVault and not encountering any problems? Should I just leave good enough alone and keep using it?
Thanks!

I completely disagree with a brody. I've been using FileVault for years. I need it to protect proprietary data on my system. I want the backup to be encrypted. Backups should be encrypted in my opinion. There is no access to the data without a key I possess. Have you read Bruce Schneier's opinion on these matters?
http://www.schneier.com/essay-199.html
The plural of anecdote is not data. Of course you'll hear horror stories here. There is no substitute for a good backup/restore strategy. If you can't handle backup and secure storage of data and passwords, than FileVault is not for you.
Backups are easier with FileVault than without. I can quickly backup my home directory with a simple tar command, and restoring is quick and easy, too.
With the new format in leopard, there are less than 200 files to read and write. I've restored more than once and I have never lost a file. It's easy to migrate an entire home directory to a new account, too. I've done it. Here's the tar command I use to backup my FileVault-protected home dir. I run it from a separate administrative account's home directory:
sudo tar -v -C .. -c -f ./xxxx.tar xxxx
replace xxxx with your "short" user name. The '-C ..' makes the working directory of the tar /Users on an OS X system. The backup is written to xxxx.tar. The tar file easily be copied or burned to a dvd.
I toggle FileVault on/off to ensure the data integrity. It's easy, and takes about ten minutes, so I do it once/wk. I'm going to do it after I post this.
Are there any reports of "data corruption" or loss with the new sparsebundle format in leopard? I'm not aware of any.

What version of iPhoto? How are you trying?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I had a similar experience with mac e-mail where apparently someones ICLOUD id for their Iphone was created with an Alias I had @mac.com for years. Originally thought the mail was phishing and deleted without opening - then received forwarded mail from the other persons non-apple account - so gave feedback through mail to apple and also sent an email to the other persons non-apple account from a non-apple account telling them I was getting their mail because it was my alias.
That person did get apple to untangle the accounts so I did have to reset my password once it was done.
So one option would be to contact apple support to get them to find out what is going on with your account.
E-mail contact of the other person was easy once I had a legit account to send to -- don't know how you would contact the other person in notes.

I cannot get sound from apple TV. Has anyone had the same experience and what did they do?

Hi, I recently bought Apple TV 2nd gen. I can, after a while, get access to my library but when I start to play movies I cannot get sound. Has anyone had a similar experience? If so what did you do to overcome the problem?

Do the movies contain both stereo and 5.1 audio.
Have you tried toggling the Dolby Digital setting or the Audio Output setting.

TS1398 Has anyone had WiFi connectivity issues with their iPhone 5 after accepting the latest IOS 8.0.2?

Has anyone had WiFi connectivity issues at home with their iPhone 5 after accepting the recent IOS 8.0.2 update?

Yes, despite being it an iPhone5 (8.0.2) attempting to connect to an Airport Express.
In my case the iPhone "connects" to Airport Express 2nd generation, but no Internet packages are available; Airport Utility shows the Airport Express as not connected to the Internet; but the iMac, MBP, Motorola phone, Samsung Smart TV and HP printer connect without any trouble.
The actual issue is the DHCP :
sometimes the iPhone gets none, and
when an address is assigned it just doesn't work,
even renewing the address won't work all the times,
switching off and on the WiFi won't work all the times neither,
going on Airplane mode, then back won't work all the times.
Solutions attempted and failed:
Reseting and reconfiguring Airport Express;
Reseting iPhone;
Switching off and on the iPhone;
Setup the DHCP renewal for every 5 days;
Meditation and stark visualisation;
Other possible patch not yet attempted : setting fixed IP addresses
All suggestions received resemble Windows' "Plug & Pray"
I gave up after reading several notes around the WWW complaining about it.
Last credible suggestion : wait for 8.0.3 or 8.1, whichever fixes the issue first.

Has anyone had the same problem with IOS 6 install and McAfee flagging certain IOS 6 install components as Malware?

I was using ITunes to install IOS 6 on my 64GB IPad 2 when McAfee on my IMac (Software OS X 10.8.1 (12B19)) reported that it had found Malware and had put the offending file into quarantine. The IOS 6 install process then tried to re-write the file. This happened with three seperate files that the IOS 6 install process was attempting to write, effectivley causing a stall in the process. The only way I could get the install process to complete was to go into the McAfee preferences and change quarantine to notify. The process then completed. Has anyone else come across this problem?

Hmmmm... That did not work. I did the full restore on the ipod touch (Losing that is the lesser of the two evils if I screwed it up) and before I resynced it, I unplugged it and tried to plug it into the wall adapter. But it would not charge. Plugged it back into the computer and it popped right up with the lightning bolt on the battery and began charging.
So I resynced it and at least all my stuff is still there. Not going to bother trying with my phone if it didn't work on the ipod touch.
I can assure you my 4s is out of warranty. I've had it for 2 years.

Has anyone had app update issues with iOS 8.1?

I'm running iOS 8.1 on a iPhone 6+. If I try to update an app from the app store without being logged in, it will hang the process and the update will fail.
Previously, with my iPhone 4 and iOS 7.1.2 the app store would ask me to log in when an app update was attempted without being logged in.
The work around until apple fixes this bug is to ensure you are logged in BEFORE attempting an app update. An honest techie at the local apple store admitted this is a bug (one of many) in iOS 8.1. Has anyone else had this issue with iOS 8.1

Nope, I'm able to update an app in iOS 8.1, even if I'm not first logged into the iTunes & App Store in Settings. It prompts me to update the app, then I sign in with my password.
Do you have Touch ID enabled for App Store or not?

Anyone here have good experience with iPhone compatible Ip Cameras?

Hi
i wanted to know if anyone here actually owns a decent camera they can recommend with a iPhone that records to SD remotely or when motion detection is activated (remotely), has night vision, an zoom tilt or simply works so good and you can use a few at the same time.
i tried a few lower end linkseys and d-links models as well as rimax fixed and wireless models, all which where a mess to set up since the software was written for PCs and some only ran on internet Explorer which does not exist on mac osx any more.
So please let me know
Cheers

How does working in wide screen seem when you want full pages?
I have a Dell 20+ (24", I think) at the office. It is 9:16 ratio and a delight to use with InDesign. I regularly compose with binding in mind, so this allows me to have pallets open and view the full spread at the same time. However, if you are needing large type on your icons and menu bars, then you will lose a lot of real estate. I'm not sure you will be able to get the full benefit I receive. I have the resolution set to the monitor's native resolution.
At home, I work with a 15" laptop (9:16) and a second monitor (4:3) that is the same width as the laptop. The second monitor is an LCD and very old (hardware age), so it doesn't do well at the same resolution the laptop does. But the laptop is shorter than the old monitor. Anyway, I do my page view on the laptop because of the better resolution. I put all my menus and pallets on the other monitor. This works well.

Has anyone ever got good results with an autorouter?

Hi,
I just read a recent mesaage about using the autorouter.
For the last 20 years i have been in designing PCB's, and I never met anyone that uses an autorouter...
So I wondered if any of you ever used any (ultiboard or other) with good results,
and if you did, what type of circuit was it?
and is it possible to share a picture with us?
I'm just curious...
Stressed user

I have gotten excellent results with the ultiboard 9 autorouter and understand that the newer versions are even better.

Has anyone found a good case with a screen protector?

My phone ships on July 14th. I'd love to get a case ordered and have it when my phone comes in.
Suggestions?

I love the incipio Silicrylic I had on my 3G. They have them coming out for the iPhone 4 but I'm not sure when. I keep checking their site to see if it's available yet but it isn't. They do have pictures of them on there though. Right now I'm just using a Basic black one also from incipio that is impact resistant. I bought that one from AT&T. I'm also having the InvisibleShield put on my today by Best Buy because I was afraid of messing it up.

Has anyone had allot of problems with BlackBerry Curve?????

I purchased a BB back in May. What a mistake, I'vfe gone throught 4 now!!! Screen doesnt tun on

I used the original Curve for years without a problem and never replacing anything more than the trackball. Perhaps build quality on the Curve has changed since then, as I've seen quite a few posts like yours.

Have any of you had a good experience with Straight Talk unlimited data

I am so sick of feeling like I am getting the shaft from Verizon. Is it worth moving to Straight Talk or even Sprint? I use 2 to 6gb per month.
Thanks,

Did you get this resolved? I am having the same problem.

Has anyone had sucess with 10.5.2??

Judging from all the negative threads in this forum about 10.5.2, I am afraid to try it. Has anyone had a good experience updating to this?

Everyone who HAS NOT posted here
This is a place ONLY for people with problems so every one you read has "A PROBLEM"
I installed 10.5.2 with no problems (repaired permissions, verified my disk, have a current clone in case of problems - but did not need it)
GIven the relative small number of people posting with problems I assume that the vast majority of people are like me and everything went perfectly -- this thread also indicated that MOST people had no problems - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1389058&tstart=0
