    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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    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.

  • My Mac is having trouble opening Webpages

    My Mac is having trouble opening webpages all of a sudden it will take over 5mins to do. I checked my router with my laptop and it is working fine. It opens the apple page fast. Does any one have any suggestions.

    If you are using Safari ...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that didn''t help, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
    If that didn't help, might be corrupted Safari preferences (.plist)
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Click Go
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
    And try troubleshooting Safari unsupported plugins.  From the menu bar click Safari > Preferences > Security
    Deselect: Enable plug-ins. Quit then relaunch Safari. If that made a difference, follow the instructions here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

  • Trouble opening iPhoto library in Aperture that has been transferred to an external hard drive.

    I am having trouble opening my iPhoto library in Aperture now that it has been transferred to an external hard drive.
    Versions being used:
    MacBook Pro 13-inch mid-2010
    OS X v. 10.9.1 Mavericks
    Aperture v. 3.5.1
    iPhoto v. 9.5.1
    Order of events: got MacBook > took pictures > created an iPhoto library > upgraded to Mountain Loin > added more photos to iPhoto library > upgraded to Mavericks > purchased and downloaded Aperture > copied iPhoto library to a 750 GB WD My Passport.
    When attempting to switch to this iPhoto library while using Aperture an error stating, “Unable to Switch to Library. Aperture cannot switch to the selected library because the file system of the library’s volume is not supported.”  iPhoto can access this iPhoto library with no problem.  What is missing? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    “Unable to Switch to Library. Aperture cannot switch to the selected library because the file system of the library’s volume is not supported.”
    Aperture 3.5.1  is checking for file system compatibility, iPhoto not always.
    copied iPhoto library to a 750 GB WD My Passport.
    Check the filesystem on your WD drive. Did you remember to format the drive for MacOS, before you copied the library there? It needs to be formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled) to be used with any photo library. iPhoto may be able to open the library, if the filesystem is not supported, but you are risking data loss.
    You can reformat the drive with Disk Utility, if the file system is wrong (after backing up your iPhoto library to a different drive). See:
    iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives
    Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture
    Regards
    Léonie
    You see the File System in the Finder's "File > Get Info" panel, when you select the drive in the Finder and use "File > Get Info" from the main menu bar or press cmd-I.

  • I am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch.

    am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch and leaves a blank white screen box and spinning wheel of death-if I re-install software-will I lose all photos and faces settings? Any ideas-this is a Mac Pro and Xserve school system.
    It seemed to stem from when I was transferring some movie footage from an HD camcorder to iMovie.
    This is a school system and I'm worried I may lose many photos and face recognition data.

    1. The library is separate from the application, so re-installing shouldn't cause an issue with the actual photos. But it would be foolhardy in the extreme to do anything without first backing up.
    2. Often these issues are caused by a damaged Library, so reinstalling doesn't change much.
    FWIW
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
    Alternative approach:
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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. .

  • Having Trouble Opening TIFF Files

    I'm having trouble opening TIFF files into Camera Raw. I have checked all my settings in Adobe Bridge and everything seems to be saying that TIFF files should open in Camera Raw when I click on then int and then into photoshop when finished editing in camera raw.
    I'm trying to open 32 bit HDR images saved as a TIFF file into Camera Raw, and there seems to be nothing I can do to get them there. I have tried everything I can think of. When I right click on it (cmd click I'm on a mac) the option to open in camera Raw isn't there. I have tried clicking and dragging the image into Photoshop to try and force it maybe to open into Camera Raw, and I have opened photoshop and tried opeing it up from mini Bridge. In mini bridge I have the option to open the image into Camera Raw when I click this nothing happens.
    I'm not sure what else to try I'm on CS6 and Camera Raw 7.0 .

    Alright I'll try that thanks!

    It might be that you need to update camera raw to version 8.3 by going to Help>Updates from within photoshop or bridge.
    (i don't remember exactly in which version of acr that was added, but probably after version 7.0)

  • I am having trouble opening .nef raw files from a nikon d800 in elements 9.

    I am having trouble opening .nef raw files from a nikon d800 in elements 9.
    I have tried to update ACR to the latest version but can not tell if this has been successful
    I just get the message "wrong type of file"

    For the D800 you have two alternatives:
    (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

    Whenever I try to open a website that requires javascript, a warning message pops up: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (javascript) isn't associated with any program."

  • Hello guys. I'm having trouble opening Instagram pages with Safari.

    Hello guys. I'm having trouble opening Instagram pages with Safari. I try to open them and it seems to be loading for one second, but then it's all blank, there's nothing on the screen. Funny thing is, when I try to open an Instagram page that doesn't exist, it opens the Instagram NOT FOUND page. I don't know what's going on. I've tried everything, from software updates to restarting my Mac etc. Please help.

    Is this the site you are referring to >   http://instagram.com
    Because that site refers you to apps for smartphone devices. Not for your Mac.
    Regardless of the Instagram website, v10.5.4 is an outdated version of Safari. You need to update your system software.
    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
    Restart your Mac after the updates are installed, then try Instagram on Safari.

  • Just got my MacBook Pro....having trouble opening up certain web pages...just keeps scrolling and scrolling, my 7 year old desk top that is on the same wireless network for internet opened up the same web page right away, so I think the Internet is OK

    just got my MacBook Pro and I'm having trouble opening up certain websites, it just keeps scrolling and scrolling and never opens up the page....this is not the case with all websites, however my 7 year old desk top - which is connected to the same wireless Internet connection opened up the same page right away, so I don't think it's the Internet, any suggestions?

    Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated.   Repair permissions and restart your computer when done.
    Not sure if your new Mac came with 10.7.2 pre-installed as you make no mention of your os system.
