HELP! iPhoto blocked on two Windows!!

Hi, I have quite a big issue which is making me crazy...!
I got the iPhoto Error that he cannot find a photo, than everything I was pressing on the screen was not responding, only with a beep.
I forced the exit from iPhoto, but now, all the time I open it I have the nice iPhoto screen which is not responding to my input.
I tryed to see if there are other iPhoto windows opened and they are, in total 2 windows, one with my events, not answering, and another blank with a third small windows asking me if I want to look for the missing photo or not. However, whatever I press, no answer, only able to move windows around or even the 2 bit iPhoto windows on two different desktops! It looks like they are 2 iPhotos opened!!!
No way to give any command... Please help!! Tnxs

Reboot. Then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Which version if iPhoto and MacOS X do you have?
Do you have any iPhoto plug-ins installed?
Open the folder /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/
To navigate to that folder, open the folder "Library" directly on your Macintosh HD, then inside the Library folder go to Application Support, then iPhoto. Is there anything installed?

When i click to open Firefox two windows always open - help

When opening Firefox 3.6.6 on my Mac it always opens two windows - every time. Also, if in another program and i click on a link which should open my browser (Firefox) it will not do so until i bring Firefox up as the main window. Use to do this automatically.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== two updates ago

It's a bug on Mac:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531552 - Firefox 3.6b opens two windows when opening external links
(please do not comment in bug reports)

Terminal won't stop opening two windows.

Every time I open Terminal, it opens two windows. One window has a bunch of text at the top that appears to be old commands(perhaps that I had typed? I don't remember all that I've typed into Terminal since the beginning of time ) in grey and then the normal Terminal prompt in the usual green(that's the theme I have) after all the text. The second window is in a fullscreen space thingy(Lion's mission control interface) and it looks similar except the text is different and there is a LOT more of it.
I'm not quite sure what to do to make this stop. I've tried deleting the plist file for Terminal. I've tried restarting the computer. I've tried closing both windows, opeing a new one, positioning how I'd like it posistioned, then quitting Terminal by holding alt/option and cliking "Quit and Keep All Windows" from the Terminal menu.
Is there a place where there are setting files for an app's window positions/defaults?
It may also be good to mention, as it seems possibly relevant, that every time I open iPhoto, it opens in a fullscreen space much like the second Terminal window. I've tried similar things on iPhoto to get IT to stop doing this.
Thanks for any help!

Okay, so I actually found a solution to the problem!
I cannot claim it as my own since I found it on another discussion page as well as CNET, but I'll post what I did here for others to see.
The two helpful pages were:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20083707-263/managing-mac-os-x-lions-applic ation-resume-feature/
and
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15859853#15859853
What I did was:
1. Enable "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" under General in System Preferences(I don't know for sure if this is necessary, but it seemed harmless with my new found knowledge as you'll see in a moment)
2. Navagate to "~/Library/Saved Application State/" in Finder
3. Find the folder named "com.apple.Terminal.savedState"
4. Move it to the trash
This resets the state that the application uses to open each time it opens, when you open it now, it'll recreate the folder
5. Launch Terminal
6. Open the Get Info dialog for the newly created "com.apple.Terminal.savedState" and tick the "Lock" checkbox
This prevents the contents of the folder from being changed, resultantly preventing ONLY Terminal from saving the state of it's windows on closing.
Not only did this solve THIS problem, but it opened up some cool options:
-By Locking any of these folders, one can keep a sort of template for how they'd like the windows of an application to open every time.
-One can leave on the "Reopen windows" preference but select applications for which they do not wan't it to work. It is a semi useful feature, and I can understand why it was added, it just seems like an oversigt that it was only a global or no feature.
-One can reset the window options of any trouble making apps in the future.
Note: This also solved the problem I was having with iPhoto!

Managing Two Windows

I have two windows in my application. On When_Window_Closed trigger, I need the system to determine which window is opened. If a secondary window is open, I want it to close and my main screen to open, but if the only window opened is the main screen, then I want that to close.

Try the code below. I guess there might be some elegant way of achieving this, but this is the one I could come up with now
DECLARE
win_id0 WINDOW;
win_id1 WINDOW;
blk_id0 BLOCK;
blk_id1 BLOCK;
BEGIN
win_id0 := FIND_WINDOW('window0'); -- This assumes that window0 is your so-called main screen
win_id1 := FIND_WINDOW('window1'); -- This assumes that this is the secondary window
blk_id0 := FIND_BLOCK('block0'); -- A block on the main window
blk_id1 := FIND_BLOCK('block1'); -- A block on the secondary window
IF :SYSTEM.cursor_block = 'block1' THEN
HIDE_WINDOW('window1');
GO_BLOCK('block0');
ELSE
HIDE_WINDOW('window0');
END IF;
END;
Hope this help you out.

How do I share my printer between my two Windows 7 systems?

Some users find that they have a non-networked printer that worked fine in a mixed Windows environment, but found their two Windows 7 printers (one host and one client) are not able to share the printer.
Windows 7 handles networking differently than previous versions of Windows.
The easiest way to get started with sharing printers between multiple Windows 7 computers is to setup a HomeGroup. A HomeGroup is a way to authorize different Windows 7 computers to talk to each other and share resources. Microsoft has a good article about HomeGroups that has links to various guides.
Once the HomeGroup is setup, the next step is to setup a host for the USB printer.
This article from Microsoft details how to enable file and printer sharing, sharing the printer, and the basic steps of adding the printer.
The first two sections are fine as they are, but I would like to expand on adding a shared printer to the other Windows 7 computers.
This process tends to have the greatest success with sharing printers in Windows 7. Most USB only printers do have a driver available in Windows.
1. Go to Start>Devices and Printers.
2. Click on Add a printer at the top.
3. While it is a networked printer, it is not the current network standard printer. Select Add a local printer.
4. Select Create a new port with a local port for type.
5. Enter \\<host computer name>\<printer name> without the < > symbols. The host computer name is the name of the computer that has the printer attached to it. If you do not know that name, go to the host computer and go to Start>Right-click Computer>Properties. The computer name will be listed here. The printer's share name was selected in a previous step in the Microsoft article.
6. Click Ok and the printer driver screen will appear. Click on Windows Update to ensure it is the most current list.
7. Select the printer model from that list.
8. Follow the rest of the prompts.
At the end of these steps, the printer should be shared from the host computer to the other Windows 7 computers.
Some important notes about this setup:
1. Only printing will be functional.
2. The host computer must be on for printing to work.
3. The host computer could enter standby or suspended mode. This will interrupt the shared printer on the other systems.
With these steps completed, the printer should be functional on the Windows 7 computers once again.

How do i share iPhoto library between two user accounts

I need to share my iphoto pictures between two accounts on the same computer

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.

Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies. How do I reverse this?

Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies. How do I reverse this?

Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
It makes no difference at all.
How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size.
HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
You're somewhat confused and you need to
1. Decide what exactly you want to do
2. Then go about it.
If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do - the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

How do I block a popup window that I have allowed to open on Firefox once? I now have the popup blocker set to block all sites, but the popup still opens every time I open Firefox or open (sometimes) a new tab.

How do I block a popup? I allowed this popup to open once. Now I have set the popup blocker to block all sites but this popup still opens every time I open Firefox and sometimes (usually) when I open a new tab.
I Have stopped and restarted Firefox multiple times.
I have rebooted the computer.
I have set the tools/options/content/block pop-up windows/exceptions to block all sites (no exceptions).
I have no other issues with Firefox.
I have Adblock plus (with (1) subscription) installed
I am currently using Firefox version 4.0 on Windows7 Ultimate.

Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it.

When I first pick firefox to open two windows come up. one is welcome to firefox and it has a pop up box asking someting about shopping. the second window is the start page

When I first open firefox, two windows open at the same time. Welcome to firefox with a pop up window and the second one is the mozilla firefox start up page. It is very annoying.

Hi mjp80538,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

Sync bookmarks across two Windows 7 using Firefox 29?

Hello Everyone,
I have two windows 7's workstations. One workstation is a new install. The other is a laptop. On the new install I loaded Firefox 29. Didn't sync with the old sync server. So I upgraded the laptop to Firefox 29. I signed up for the new sync on both workstations. On the new install workstation no book marks have been moved from the laptop..
Any help would be great.

How do I have two windows open side by side in Mountain Lion

I want to open two windows side by side for comparison purposes. Can anyone tell me how to do this please? BUT when I input something into one window, I don't want the other window to close. I know this can be done on my Windows laptop but I'm now using Mountain Lion on a new Mac - maybe it's something I have to learn to do without.
Any help would most appreciated.
Thanks Sue.

You want to have two browser windows open at the same time?
In Safari, just type command + n, and a new Safari window will open. You can use either window independently.
(Trust I have understood your question.)

Safari not blocking pop-up windows

Even though I have block pop-up windows checked in in the Safari menu, I am finding that this blocking feature is not reliable. One of the pop-up windows I see frequently is for Netflix. This is not the only one.
Does anyone know of a method to really inhibit the pop-up windows in addition to what I am doing?
I'm running the latest OS (10.5.4)
Thanks for any help.

It's not possible to block all popups, since some are activated by Flash instead of JavaScript, so unless you remove the Flash plugin or have some way of disabling it, you will always see an occasional popup window, depending on which kinds of sites your visit.
that's just the nature of the beast.

Drag&Drop between two windows

Hi
I am interested to know if in the latest version of abap webdynpro it is possible to do drag&drop between two windows?
And if it is possible to have a floating part of a window ( that I can move it around the screen )?
Thanks
Nitsan

Hi
Thank u Thomas and Chris for your helpful answers!
Still there is something I want to be sure about, the interaction that can be done between this floating window
and the opening window.
Can both window stay active and communicate between them?
Ill give an example of what I mean:
Lets say that I have window with few tables from this window I open another window with a list. now I want to dynamically
move an item from this list to one of the tables in the parent window or move an item from one of the tables to this list.
Can this scenario be implemented in abap webdynpro?
Thanks,
Nitsan
