Help , i just archived my iphoto library, and now it won't open

How do i unzip the library and put it back? I'm
getting a message that the files are unreadable. I've
had sooo much trouble with iphoto since upgrading to
'06 and now this! I've been getting a messaage
everytime i use the iphoto to rebuild the thumbnails,
so I read about how to do it with starting with the
option key etc, thought i'd also back it up and
archived it to use less space on the dvd and now
there are a lot of missing pictures; it's like my one
library just vanished, there are none of my albums or
titles etc. Anyway when I was moving the library
folder to the burn folder to burn it, it just
vanished, and now all I have is the archived folder.
Since posting the above I have been on the phone with a tech, I had redownload the stuffit expander, to unzip the file. I had backed up the pictures so will add them later, but here is the issue, I am very low on disk space so have added an external HD which i am trying to put photo libraries in. I printed an article "how to store libraries on exernal HD", in the rticle it says to rename the files on the original HD, can I remove them instead (after saving to disk, of course)?
Also, I have 15G of disk space we could not account for, the tech suspects hidden files, but says they do not deal with locating them and removing them, reccomended erasing HD and starting over, but would like that to be a last resort. I have four users on my machine two of which are for my grandchildren who use it mainly for "my space" and "Limewire" Has anyone here had a problem with either of these sites? I'm looking for alternaive suggestions about where the disk space has gone prior to erasing my hard drive. This is a very recent problem, and my mac is running poorly due to lack of space on the harddrive. I am moving my photo libraries to the external HD as I had planned anyway so i don't have to worry about space. It is a 250G WDC My Book Essential Edition. I am running the 6.0 iPhoto program. I am calling the support tech for iphoto but think it is unlikely that I have 15G of missing space due to photos, so could use your help. Thanks.

Just installed Lightroom 4.4 and now Lightroom won't open.

I have been working with Lr 4.3 and just upgraded to 4.4. Now Lr won't open when I click on the icon. How do I fix this?

I have copied this from another post I made in the forum see if helps you.
When Lightroom is open it creates a file with the same name as the catalog with an extension .lock (LOCK) alongside the catalog file.
This lock file prevents any other access to the catalog.
If Lightroom is closed normally the .lock file is automatically deleted. However if Lightroom closes unexpectedly e.g. loss of power, crash then the file may remain in place preventing Lightroom from opening the catalog.
With Lightroom closed go to the folder where your Catalog files reside, by default this is in your User > My Pictures> Lightroom. If there is a .lock file present delete the file (do not delete the .lrcat file. See the screen capture.
If you have found a .lock file and deleted it, then double click on the actual Catalog file and see if it opens Lightroom.

Just downloaded the new iTunes and now iTunes won't open at all. MacBook Pro user

Downloaded the new iTunes a few hours ago, and now after a few restarts, I get no response at all when clicking on itunes.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

Just had Javascript update done and now Firefox won't open,,,keeps coming up with XML Parsing error not well formed. how can I get rid of this?

also awindow pops up NS error XPC Bad convert JS cannot convert JAVASCRIPT argument arg 4 (NSL window watcher open window)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== just today ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; (R1 1.5))

There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
(look below all the "SUID" examples)
I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

My ipod screen just turned blank white randomly and now it won't turn off/reset or connect to the computer... need help

my screen just turned blank white randomly and now it won't turn off/reset or connect to a computer or really do anything... need help.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Uninstalled new version, horrible. Installed the older version and now it won't open! HELP WANT MY MUSIC!

I installed the new version thinking it would be the same, It was horrible! uninstalled it... Installed the older version and now it won't open and when I try it says it can't because the library can't open because it was used on a newer version. Come on! I just want my music! How do I open this and get my music back.
I put my Ipod in and it still says the same thing, what's going on? Please help me!

I don't know whom to thank first-- b noir for telling me about the Lorraine fix or Lorraine for figuring out the fix. THE LORRAINE FIX WORKED FOR ME!!! (I feel a little like I am advertising "Hooked on Phonics" with that last line!)
Thank you doesn't say it strongly enough, but THANK YOU b noir and Lorraine for your help. I was to the boiling point last night and starting to get there tonight. Now I am resting easy and thankful that there is a community of computer users out there who care enough to troubleshoot problems together and work together to figure out a solution--and then to take the time to post and share information.
I would STRONGLY suggest that anyone who is having the iTunes issues where iTunes just plain won't open at all after downloading the newest version and has a pc with Norton Internet Security 2005 try the "Lorraine Method."
I am so happy I think I might sing. Or not--I will let my songs on iTunes do the singing for me now that I can again!!!!!!!
And to those still looking for answers--be patient--I now know how incredibly frustrating this can be and I hope that you all find your solutions very very soon!!

I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.
