Help! Safari can't communicate with Iphoto

Please help!
Recently, I have not been able to add photos from Safari to Iphoto9. When I attempt to do so, Safari comes up with an alert "cannot communicate with Iphoto".
How do I repair this so that Safari communicates again with Iphoto?
Please help! I need this function to work.

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
If this does not help try the same with the Safari preference file

  • My Safari can't communicate with iPhoto-.anyone know why??

    When sending a photo to iPhoto... I get a box telling me that Safari can't communicate with iPhoto... Does anyone know why and how to fix this??

  • When I try to add a photo to my iPhoto library from Safari I get a message that says Safari can't communicate with afar. How do I fix this so I can just add photos direct to iPhoto?

    When I try to add a photo from and email in Safari, I get a message that says could not add photo Safari cannot communicate with iPhoto.
    How can I get them to communicate? Or, more to the point, how can I get a photo from Safari (usually attached to an email) into iPhoto library?

    iPhoto is 7.1.5
    That's much too old. To solve the problem, you'll have to uninstall iLife completely, then upgrade to the current version of iPhoto in the App Store.

  • Safari can't communicate with internet but FireFox can.

    I have MacBook Pro 15" with Mavericks on it.
    I can't access the internet in Safari, App Store or do any software update.
    While FireFox on the same machine can do it easily!!
    it seems like the MAC apps are like disconnected for a fault in Safari, my assumption.
    what to do here?

    Deselect Proxies if selected.
    Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Proxies:
    Click "Change  Settings" button
    The network preferences window for Proxies will will show up with "Proxies"
    tab selected.
    Under "Select Protocol", uncheck any box if selected.
    Click "OK" then  "Apply"
    or
    System Preference > Network > Advanced  > Proxies Tab
    Under "Select Protocol", uncheck any box if selected.
    Click "OK" then  "Apply"

  • IChat can't communicate with the AIM account error window! please help!

    Hello, I have been trying to connect to my AIM account via iChat and for some reason it doesn't let me. A window saying the following appears:
    "iChat can't communicate with the AIM account "name of account".
    "An undefined AIM socket error has occurred."
    Please help with this. What is going on?

    Hi,
    An @Mac.com name is a valid AOL/AIM Screen Name.
    Any Issues and the AIM servers will say the AOL/AIM name or password is incorrect.
    As I said earlier, there can be issues if when you create an @Mac.com or even a MobileMe account Apple lets you create passwords of up to 20 characters (I think).
    The issues is the AIM Server can check the name with Apple but don't parse Passwords that have more then 16 characters (You have to change the Password to 16 characters or less).
    There is also another issue.
    Creating a Name at the @Mac.com page allows you to use spaces as valid characters (As In ralph [email protected]) but again the AIM servers cannot parse these names as Spaces are not Valid at AIM
    Use iForgot to check the name. You can also change passwords via this.
    Use the On Line option and answer the security questions.
    That should confirm whether the account/Screen Name/Apple ID works.
    Then go to this page https://settings.aim.com/
    Use the Sign In option top right.
    Enter your @mac.com name and password (It will read AOL at the next page to do that)
    If it works properly then you should be returned to the page I linked you to but it will now have your Screen Name showing above the menu area.
    This will confirm that the @Mac.com name is accepted as a AIM Screen Name.
    If you are still having issues, go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    In the Account Info tab make sure you are logged out (Deselect "Use this Account")
    Go to the Server settings tab
    Change the port from 5190 to 443 (it may also pay to deselect SSL)
    Log back in again.
    Deleting com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist may help.
    If the issue is an incorrect password you may need to delete the entry from the KeyChain (Use KeyChain Access in the Applications/Utilities folder)
    Hope this helps.

  • IChat can't communicate with my AIM account

    Hi, every time i try go to to my ichat it automatically logs me out, and when i try to log back in, it says "iChat can't communicate with the AIM account 'aforever0203' and The AIM server has temporarily limited your account due to too much activity. Try again in a few minutes" This has been happening for days, please help!

    HI,
    Go here https://settings.aim.com/
    Can you sign in there ?
    This will not work for newer @me.com and @icloud.com IDs issued under iCloud ( I notice there are at least 2 Me Toos clicked)
    With Apple IDs there have been issues over the last few months about accounts getting Suspended when people have travelled to foreign lands.
    The "normal" fix with AIM names is to Change the Password but obviously changing the Apple Passwords cannot be seen by AIM.
    In that case you need This link about Suspended accounts and you need to use the TOS General email address.
    (You need to explain very carefully that you have an Apple ID and that AIM cannot see any Password Change and that they will have to reset the account manually - some support staff seem not to know that Apple have an agreement that Apple IDs are also AIM Valid Names)
    If it is a plain AIM name a Password reset should correct the issue.

  • Device Control doesn't show Firewire & I can't communicate with my AJA IO

    Device Control doesn't show Firewire & I can't communicate with my AJA IO
    Posted: Aug 1, 2006 9:10 AM in response to: Patrick Sheffield
    Click to reply to this topic Reply email Email
    I've seen one other post about this and I've tried the responses to it: trash prefs, rebuild permissions, reboot the computer (let it rest and uplug), trash quicktime receipts and reinstall, uninstall AJA software and reinstall.
    The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling my OS.
    I'm on FCP HD.
    I can capture and print to tape as an uncontrollable device. But I need to edit to tape tomorrow using the RS-422 to my digibeta deck via the AJA IO. It has worked in the recent past (last month), but in the past two weeks I can't control my deck.
    Also, I get the message "This computer does not have any serial ports required by this protocol" when I try to set up a new RS-422 AV device control setting.
    Help!

    Jerry, I can't thank you enough. I still have a few hairs left on my head thanks to you.
    I downgraded my AJA firmware and that did the trick.
    I had been on the phone with AJA last week tryingto fix this problem and we had tried everything except that. You know, the trash quicktime receipts, trash prefs, hard re-boot, etc.
    They were stumped and finally decided it was a Mac problem not an AJA problem. Ha! (Very nice folks though.)
    Your's was an answer I didn't find anywhere else in all my searching of forums.
    Thanks again!

  • How can I communicate with other applications from my Java application?

    Hello,
    I need help about how can i communicate with other application(say textpad.exe/wordpad.exe/MS word.exe) from my Java program.
    More precisely, I need to know how i can get the current position of the cursor whether it is in any .txt/.doc files, then I may write some text in my java application and click a button and then my program will append the line(string) in that position of the file which is running under another appliction(Notepade.exe/MSword.exe).
    Please provide me some help.

    I may be wrong (and anyone, please correct me if so), but Java may not be the best tool for something such as this. I envision that you'd have to make some OS calls such as calls to the user32.dll, and while this can be done through the JNI, you'd still have to have a C or C++ program doing the dirty work.

  • Vol_init failed (can't communicate with kernel)

    Hi,
    I'm running Sol 2.8 on a sparc SUNW, Sun blade 1000 and having problem
    mounting the CDROM. I tried to start vold but

  • Messages can't communicate with the account "AIM." Cannot log in to AIM. General error. Try again

    Hi,
    For the first time today, I've been having problems connecting to AIM using Messages. I get the "Messages can't communicate with the account "AIM." Cannot log in to AIM. General error. Try again." error. I looked at the forums here and I tried deleting my account, restarting my computer, reinstalling the account but to no avail. I've been using messages and mountain lion for a few weeks and never had a problem with connecting to AIM until now. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    uncheck SSL in server settings....done deal.  Funny part is I was having the same problem...went to genius bar...they couldnt figure it out...told me to call apple support.  Did that...they told me to re install software after an hour of trying to figure it out...that didnt work either.
    amazing the info you can get thru forums.!

  • Wlc can't communicate with dhcpserver

    Our wlc can't communicate with any host on vlan Z (subnet 192.168.1.0/24). The wlc itself is in a different vlan. All communication to other vlans works just fine. I've temporarly disabled the access-lists for vlan Z, without success. A host in the same subnet as the wlc is able to establish communication with a host in vlan Z.
    How to solve this problem?
    Kind regards,
    D vd Wege

    Please see link below. For inter vlan to work you have to configure dhcp option 43 on your dhcp server. Hope this help you.

  • I'm getting an error message saying that "iChat can't communicate with the AIM account __"

    I'm getting an error message saying that "iChat can't communicate with the AIM account __" I don't know what to do because google.com isn't coming up either...Please help!

    Hi,
    For any AIM valid Name (AIM, @mac.com or MobileMe) go to the IChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    Select the account in the list then in the Server Settings tab change the port from 5190 to 443
    Also try it without the SSL option.
    (Go to the Account info tab to select the Use this Account option to Log in).
    Do you mean you have a GoogleTalk account of some kind ?
    One based on Google Mail accounts (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) should have talk.google.com listed as the server in iChat (Server Settings for your Google Account)
    There are Other Google accounts (Non Email) that can have Talk Enabled and these do connect to a server called google.com
    Both these forms login to the Jabber servers involved on port 5223 and use SSL
    It is possible with Google though to also change this to port 443.
    (Other Jabber servers will not allow it)
