How can I rebuild the iPhoto database?

Twice I have received message about my thumbnails and permissions needed to be worked on. The first time the "Genius" did a "rebuild" and that worked for a while. How do I do a rebuild?

The format is the drive - to have the iphoto library on it it must be Mac OS extended (journaled) - in the finder fight click on the drive and get info - the info window gives the format
And please explain the two new variables you just introduces without giving a single answer to my preious questions
it has a very poor connector.
I have copied all photo's back to the MAC hard drive.
and please answer
What version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.6.3 as you state correct?
Remember we can not see you nor read your mind - I ask three questions - you have not answer a single one yet - without answers it is not possible to help

You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.

Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

There likely are other means to rectify troublesome applications, including reinstall.
Be sure to backup your music, image, video, and other work on an external drive
or suitable device as a precaution against loss should there be a hard drive failure.

In the iMovie 11 event library, how can I get the iPhoto video clips to combine with my camcorder pics listed below and in chronological order?

In the iMovie 11 event library, how can I get the iPhoto video clips to combine with my camcorder pics listed below and in chronological order?

Try forcing iPhoto to load the Library on the External Hard drive by launching it while holding down the Option key. Choose the Library on the External HD, and quit iPhoto, see if iMovie can see the Library with the iPhoto Videos contained inside.

How can I reuse the BC4J database connection?

How can I reuse the BC4J database connection?
I want to use the application module connection without opening another in a custom code. At this level I canât access de ADF code, thatâs why I canât get the DBConnection from the application module.
Now, I have a âdata-sources.xmlâ in my project and the application module is configured to access the database from this xml file.

I found the solution in other Forum. I worked ok.
Here the code:
If the Connections-Navigator connection is DBConnection1, the corresponding datasource is jdbc/DBConnection1DS.
1. Create a JSP page.
2. In the web.xml of the JSP add
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/DBConnection1DS</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
3. In the JSP page obtain a connection with the datasource.
InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource)initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/DBConnection1DS");
java.sql.Connection conn = ds.getConnection();

How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?

How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?
My home network is used both by my macbook and my wife's windows pc. Considering that, I would like to know if we can share our pictures with each other (specially because I intend to store all of them into a NAS storage - WD My Cloud, probably).

No you can not - neither iPhoto nor Aperture has any cross platform capability
You can share photos with the PC using MyPhotoStream or Shared PhotoStreames
You can not share the iPhoto library
And you can not put the iPHoto library on a NAS - it MUST always be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and mube on a fast wired local connection - it can not be on a Network
There are Digital Asset Managers that can do what you want - iPhoto and Aperture can not

How can I remove the iPhoto upgrade to my iMac OSX 10.2.8? Can the upgrade return my library?

How can I remove the iPhoto upgrade to my iMac OSX 10.2.8? Can the upgrade return my library?

With respect, we'll need rather more detail than that.
In general, you can only roll back an upgrade to a library with a back up. No back up, no roll back.

How can I rebuild my iphoto library from backup

Can I rebuild my iphoto library from the Time Machine backup?
Somehow the iPHoto libary structure(?), if that's the word, has gotten corrupted.
There phtos are still these, in their year/month/day folders, but though iPhoto
opens it does not show Events, Slideshow, etc.
I found a Support page that tell you how to re-build the library, but
it didn't work.
It just occurred to me that the Time Machine back up should contain the 'library'.
Is so, how do I access it and will it open the iPhoto library intact with Events, Slideshows,
etc.?
Thanks,
Hal

You don't rebuild a library from a backup, you replace the library with the backup:
If you'll describe what happend when you tried rebuilding the library with iPhoto maybe we can offer another possible fix like try using iPLM as Larry suggested.

How can I rebuild the erased contact info on my macbook?

I tryed to erase duplicates on my macbook air and keept only the contacts of Icloud: now I want to rebuild an contact database IN my macbook air. how can I copy the contacts from the Icloud to the macbook air? it seams, that I loose the place in the macbook where to copy all the contacts?! Thanks for help!!

HI,
As far as I can tell you cannot delete the ID when Only one is listed.
This would suggest that you have to add the second (Correct) one and then delete the first (wrong) one.
I can't say I have tried this yet.

How can I delete the iPhoto Video Thumbnails in iMovie?

It's been a while since I've used iMovie, and when I opened the application tonight, I got the following message:
"iMovie needs to generate thumbnails for the videos in your iPhoto library. This process may take several minutes.
You can postpone this operation by clicking Later, but your iPhoto videos will be unavailable until the next time you restart iMovie."
I accidentally hit NOW, and the process began. When I realized it had used about 5 GBs of space, I force quit iMovie, but the disk space was not reclaimed. I need this space back now... I can import the iPhoto videos later. How can I undo the generated iPhoto video thumbnails? There was no project generated, and so no folder with the thumbnails in them. Where are they located? I would like to delete the iPhoto video thumbnails within iMovie, but preserve the thumbnails for other projects. And of course I would like to be sure that I keep the videos themselves in iPhoto - I definitely do not want to lose the videos there. Thanks for your help.
Greg

The latest incarnation of iMovie doesn't offer the 'Export with Quicktime'-options, the previous versions did.

How can i change the iPhoto update apple ID?

How can I change the Apple ID on my Mac iPhoto to update the version.

You cannot change the Apple ID, that an application bought from the App Store is associated with. If you want to update an application bought with a different AppleID, sign into the App Store with the Apple ID you used to buy it.
If you did not buy it, and the owner of the application does not own the mac you are using, delete iPhoto from the applications folder, sign into the App Store with your current Apple ID, and buy iPhoto with that Apple ID. Then you have a version that you own and can update. You'll probably find, that you now can buy iPhoto for free.

How can I restore the iPhoto app deleted from applications by accident?

I am trying to restore the app iPhoto that was deleted. I restarted the computer using the Mac OS X v10.2 upgrade Install disc 1 and the response was, "you have a newer version of this system on your iMac" or something like that. How can I reinstall the original app or even an updated version that is compatible with OSX 10.2.8 (6R73)?
Thanks

Use the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only

How do you rebuild the Cache database?

What are the steps to rebuild the Cache database? Thanks!

The right answer is to log a case with Cisco support to get official steps.
What we do here (an Oracle DB):
- bring down CM
- make an export of TES schema (optional)
- run the clearcache.sql script (in the ../cache/tes6.0.0.0/cachesql.zip) to drop schema objects.
- verify that sql ran correctly and scheme is indeed empty
- restart the CM - in our case it takes 2 - 2.5 hrs for cache to be rebuilt (the secondary sync completed to show up)

How can I update the QuickLook database?

About 10 days ago my dock in Leopard crashed and I could not find it without restarting. Now I see in the console at startup:
Dock[150] [QL ERROR] Generator database update takes too long... we will use what we currently have
Since I have updated the Info.plist on my .tex files to conform to public.plain-text I would like quicklook to take note of it, but nothing I do will force it to take effect. On the command line qlmanage -r shows "resetting all generators" but qlmanage -m ends with the statement "generators change detected: NO". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This is by no means a complete answer. I still get the error messages in the console. However, I now have a partial answer to my question. After I log in, I run Cocktail 4.0.1 for Leopard, Select System then Databases. Then Rebuild Launch Services database with Restore default file associations enabled. About three quarters of the way through executing /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/StandardAdditions.osax/Contents/MacOS/uid the .tex files lose the icon when selected, show the label "TEX" and can now be viewed with a touch of the space bar. What a pleasure. To the poster who recommends staying with Tiger, I say I never want to give up the pleasure of having Quick Look a spacebar away for all my files.
Unfortunately, when I logout, restart or shutdown, once again, none of the org.tug.tex files are registered as public.plain-text and only the icon appears. To regain Quick Look capability I have to Rebuild Launch Services database. It only takes a few minutes, but I would like to automate the process somehow at login, but I have no idea how to do this. I will probably stay logged in for long periods of time, hoping that an update in the future will resolve this.

How can I move the distribution database to a new server?

I need to migrate an old distribution database to a new VM. My understanding is that you can detach/attach the distribution DB to make this easier. What are the 'gotchas' in this process? Do I need the detach/attach the system databases as well? The distributor
is facilitating data from Oracle to SQL Server.
Another question.. what are some good benchmarks for figuring out how much horsepower I should have set up in my VM that running distribution?
Thanks,
phil

Hi philliptackett77,
As your description, you want to migrate the distribution database to a new server. Based on my research, you need to remove the replication, create the distribution on the new server, and recreate publication and subscription according to Satish's post.
So you don’t need to detach or attach the distribution database or system databases.
To make this process simple, you could use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to generate scripts and run the scripts to recreate publications and subscriptions or drop publications and subscriptions as the screenshot below. Checking ‘To create or enable the
components’ generates the script for creating the publications and subscriptions, and Checking ‘To drop or disable the components’ generates the script for dropping the publications and subscriptions.
Firstly, please use SSMS to generate the script which is used to create publications and subscriptions.
1.Connect to Publisher, or Subscriber in SSMS, and then expand the server node.
2.Right-click the Replication folder, and then click Generate Scripts.
3.In the Generate SQL Script dialog box, check ‘To create or enable the components’.
4.Click Script to File.
5.Enter a file name in the Script File Location dialog box, and then click Save. A status message is displayed.
6.Click OK, and then click Close. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152483.aspx
Secondly, follow the steps above, check ‘To drop or disable the components’ to generate the script used to drop publications and subscriptions. Then run the sript to drop publications and subscriptions.
Thirdly, please disable distribution using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152757(v=sql.105).aspx.
Fourthly, please create the distribution at the new server using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151192.aspx#TsqlProcedure.
Last, please run the script generated in the first step to recreate publications and subscriptions.
Regards,
Michelle Li
