How do i get the library gray strip to the left back.  Everytime I open iPhoto the stip appears then disappears.  How do i get it back to stay?

Every time I open iPhoto the library strip to the left shows up for seconds then disappears.  I would like to restore it to stay.  How do I do that?

If you're not in the full screen mode then try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • Trying to embed a wmv video in website to work with Firefox. Video works but the controls appear then disappear. How can I get the cotnrols to show and stay. Works in all other browsers.

    Here's the code I used:
    <pre><nowiki><p class="bodytext"><OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="320" height="240" class="imageright"

    src="video.wmv" autostart='1' designtimesp='5311' loop='0'>
    </EMBED></nowiki></pre>
    Also tried showcontrols=1

    I had this exact problem too. Unlike IE, firefox wasn't scaling the video to fit into the height and width I defined. As a result the controls were disappearing off the bottom.
    I found that by making the height of the window 50px larger than the videos native height, the controls were displayed permenantly. Since the other browsers scale the video to fit the window, this solution works for them all.

  • Everytime I open iphoto, my computer tells me A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported.  Would you like to import it.  no matter what I do, iphoto puts the pic in recovered files.  How do I fix this?

    Everytime I open iphoto, my computer tells me,  A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported.  Would you like to import it.  If I import it, a message comes up Unreadable file, the following file could not be imported. them it tells me where the file is and it cannot be opened.  If I do not import, then it says,The photo has been placed in the folder /Users/patrick*******/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_4.  It will just keep adding to recvovered photos.  This drives me crazy!!!!!!!  How do I fix this?

    I had this problem some months ago and the following solution from Terrence Delvin put things right:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.
    However, since connecting a memory stick to my computer, I now have the same problem again.  This time there is no folder called 'Import' or 'Importing' so what should I do?

  • How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?

    How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
    It's getting ridiculous that every time i open iphoto that it insists in being upgraded and repaired. Anyone know how i can get rid of this without reinstalling it?
    Thanks

    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.

  • I downloaded and installed Production Premuim CS5 on my computer and when I try to open it out of the applications folder it bounces at the bottom and then disappears.

    I downloaded and installed Production Premuim CS5 on my computer and when I try to open it out of the applications folder it bounces at the bottom and then disappears. Does anyone know why this is? I've tried everything to open them but they will not open. Does anyone else have this problem?

    I have a mac osx version 10.9.2. I used to have the student version of creative cloud cs6 earlier this year. I cancelled my subscription several months ago and bought cs5 two weeks ago. I never had any problems with the cloud. I went through the entire download process for CS5, and they all showed up in my applications folder and appeared to have downloaded but every time I try to open them they bounce around next to the application manager icon and then disappear.

  • HT1267 My iPod player in my iPhone isn't working properly it will play for a few seconds then stop and also the volume level will appear then disappear what can I do to remedy this?

What can I do to remedy this? Please help!!!

    If you haven't tried it yet, I'd eliminate memory issues first.  Close all of the apps with the double tap on the home button method

    then restart the device.

    Dude or hot-spur,
    Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
    Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
    Thank you again

  • Ever since I upgradeHd to the new software, nothing works like it used to. The iPad is slow, the calendars appear and disappear andi have to re- sync. Does any one knows if a patch is on thevworks?

    Ever since I upgraded to the new software, nothing works like it used to. The iPad is slow, the calendars appear and disappear andi have to re- sync. Does any one knows if a patch is on the works to resolve the problems? I know other users are having the same problem.

    Back up your iPad. Then restore the iPad to the original factory settings. Then restore from your backup. Things should improve for you.

  • Hi, when i open iphoto, it only appears a sign that says "This device photo library is being updated" and i can not use the app, what should i do?

    Can u help me ?

    Well if you have no back up you need to make a back up now. It might be too late, but you're not going to know until you fix this.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    Then try:
    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.

  • I updated my MAC to Mavericks and purchased iPhoto 9.5.  Installed new version of iPhoto and installed using iPhoto Library Upgrade as directed.  Each time I try open iPhoto I receive the same message.

    I updated my MAC to Mavericks and purchased iPhoto 9.5.  Installed iPhoto; however when I try to open iPhoto I receive The folling, "To open your library with this version of  iPhoto, it first must be prepared.  To prepare use iPhoto Library Upgrade".  I have have downloaded and installed the upgrader, with no success.
    I need to add that I am a senior and am not as computer savey as I should be.  Therefore, i really need step by step help.

    After you download the upgrader, you will need to go to your Applications folder and find the Utilities folder.
    In there will be the iPhoto Library Upgrader (version 1.1). Open the application and follow the instructions. Should get you going.

  • ITunes plus label on the album, but then disappears....

    I recently went to purchase "leaves in the river" by Sea Wolf, and under the album logo it said it was an iTunes plus cd. When I click on the album and get the details of the album, it no longer says that it is an iTunes plus album, nor is there the plus symbol by all of the songs.
    Even more confusing, I bought the single first to see whether I liked the music or not, and the same day I decided to buy the album. iTunes then told me I had to update all my other music to iTunes plus before I can buy this iTunes plus album. How did the single download as protected? I resolved it with iTunes, and I can now go buy the whole album, but I would like to get it as iTunes plus.
    Any suggestions? I tried contacting iTunes help, but they have done nothing other than credit my account 99 cents....
    Thanks for your help!

    Did you make this purchase on an iPad or a Mac?  If purchased on iPad have you attempted to complete album from the iPad iTunes store or the Mac iTunes store?
    Regards,
    Steve

  • Why does the scrollbar sometimes appear then disappear?

    Why does the scrollbar sometimes appear but then disappear? When I open a window the scrollbar is sometimes there for a just few seconds. If I select it within a few seconds and use it everything works fine. If I don't use it, it disappears and I can't get it back. How do I get the scroll bar back? Why won't the scrollbar show up at all on web pages?

    It's a feature which is supposed to enhance your interface with your Mac and its operating system on screen. It is a "visual aid" that is meant to remove on screen clutter.
    You can go to 'system prefs/ click general/ click 'Show scroll "Always button"
    There you go
    Cheers

  • BluRay Burner and DVD Burner will access the disk and then disappear and then access the disk again constantly.

    Hi, I have a Dell system maxed out.  I have both a DVD Burner and a BluRay Burner drive in the system.  I just had to replace the fan on the CPU as the plastic that would hold it onto the mother board broke.  I have a 120GB SSD as my main
    and a 600GB 10,000 RPM drive as my secondary drive.  Because I did not realize the Fan was the problem keeping the system from booting up all the way. Which never had any problems before I had to put the system into storage when I retired from the Air
    Force last year.  So any ways I rebuilt the system back with Windows 7 Ultimate.  Everything was working fine.  So I started installing all my other programs.  Over the next several days I did not notice any problems.  Until I went
    to play one of my games that requires a Disk to be in the drive to verify it was a OEM disk.  When I went to play I noticed the game kept asking for the disk even though the disk was already in the drive.  Went to my System display and noticed that
    the disk would show up for a few seconds and then disappear and then the drive would access the disk again and then disappear.  This keeps happening in both my drives.  I have read though the forums and this is not anything to do with the disk drive
    disappearing that I see all over the forums.  Also, when I start the computer up from the DVD or BluRay drive it starts up with no problems.  So it is not anything to do with the hardware. I believe this is something to do with some software I may
    have installed or something, but I don't believe it is hardware.  Now I see that it has duplicated my Two optical media drives.  If I can't get someone to help me fix this, I may have to go through the process and re-install the system and my other
    software to see if that fixes the problem.  Like I said I have never had this problem before.
    Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas.

    If the paste wasn't changed it will lead to heating problems, something that will show in different ways all the time, but thsi isn't the issue here.
    Could it bee that you accidentally moved the cables to the drive on the motherboard when you changed the fan? Make sure it's correctly connected in both ends.
    It could also be that the drivers for the SATA-controller needs to be updated, try and download the latest ones from the manufacturers webpage.
