How to open iPhoto when it doesn't want to open

After downloading 'upgrader' for iPhoto it doesn't open. How do you force open iPhoto?

you can not
to get help you have to provide context and details
What do you have (version of oo and of the O)? Why won't it open? What exact error messages do you get? What has changed since it worked?
One guess is that you have upgraded form a pre iphoto '09 version and have not yet run the iphoto library upgrader - it is in the utilities folder in your applications folder - double click on it to run and then launch iPhoto

How to delete photos when iphoto9 doesn't respond to move to trash command?

The command "move to trash" works on some photos and events and not others.Currently have about 27,000 images in about 600 events. MacBook Pro runs Snow Leopard ver 10.6.8 and iphoto 9. I hit option & command keys when opening up iphoto and checked off rebuild library. This did not solve the problem. Thought it was not enough RAM and lack of hard disk space. Recently doubled RAM to 4 GB and increased HD from 200 GB to 750 GB. Still have the problem. Tried to rebuild library again after the upgrades but to no avail. Tried to delete event through the finder by opening up package contents in pictures and accessing data and noindex data and then deleing the images in the particular event. The images were deleted but the event (now without pictures) remains in iphoto; the event cannot be deleted. Folks at Apple Store are perplexed. Apple consultant ran out of ideas. They thought that it might be a defective spot on HD but when the HD was replaced, the problem remained. Has anyone experienced this problem? How can this be solved? Thanks,

You've trashed your Library.
1. Before you changed the Hard Disk, how much free space did you have on your Mac? Running iPhoto on an overcrowded disk can cause database corruption - which would account for the symptoms you are seeing.

Tried to delete event through the finder
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
And even at that: you did it worng
and accessing data and noindex data and then deleing the images in the particular event.
That's trashing the thumbnails, not the photos. So the pics are there, as is the entry in the database but you've removed any way for iPhoto to show or mange them.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

Does anyone know how to repair IPHOTO when you get the aperture needs upgrading error?

I just had my MACBook Pro repaired at the Genius Bar and I am still aving issues with IPHOTO. When I try to open the application I get an error that states I need to upgrade to Aperature 3.3. I have never had this. They installed OS X Mavericks. Could this be why I am getting this error?

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.

How to restore iPod when it doesn't appear in the Source List?

About 6 months ago I stupidly wiped my iPod Nano (5th Gen) and reformatted it as fat32. I assumed that when I formatted it back to Mac OS Journaled it would work normally as an iPod again but it doesn't. When it is plugged into my Mac running 10.5.8, it appears on the desktop/mac harddrive (without its individualised nano icon) and it fails to appear in the source list in iTunes (10.2.2).
I have tried everything I know how to do, including the steps outlined in this support document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410
I need to restore the iPod to factory settings, but need a way to do this not through iTunes seeing as the iPod is not recognised. Specifically, in the following support document I cannot complete step 4:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
One last thing I have tried is duplicating the files (including hidden ones) from a 5th gen nano that does appear in my source list, and placing those files into my apparently invisible nano but this has not made any difference.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have basically been left with a bricked paperweight (due mostly to my own stupidity!) but would love to be able to use it again.
Thanks for any help offered

Hello kismet_kracker,
What happens if you place the iPod into Disk Mode with it still connected to your Mac? Does it then show up in Finder as a mounted drive? Here are instructions for putting your iPod into Disk Mode.

How to Eject CD when icon doesn't show on desktop

I inserted an old CD in my iMac Intel and the icon doesn't show on desktop.
I have re-booted twice and still it does not eject.
Previous answers say to insert a paper clip and get it out that way, but there is no 'hole' to do that.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks
ROSE

You are a GENIUS!! holding down the mouse button while re-booting did the trick!
Should I throw away the CD that caused the trouble? or try mounting it again?
Also...for some reason when I re-booted with the mouse button held down..all my mail accounts are frozen??? I'll deal with that later I guess... but THANK YOU again

How to reinstall siri when reset doesn't work

Had to do a a software upgrade when setting up the 4s previously used by my son on the East coast. This deleted the apps he'd installed, resetting the phone. After reinstalling data I discovered no Siri and no link under Settings.>General. I tried the reset recommended here but no luck. What's the next step?
Thanks for your help

Siri is builtin with the iPhone 4S, so you cannot delete Siri.
Have you check Settings > General > Restrictions: should be OFF > Siri: ON?
Also check your iPhone model here

BTW, there's no Siri app, you start Siri by pressing the Home button a bit longer.

My iPod has a mind of its own. When it doesn't want to play, it stops.

I am on my 2nd iPod in 5 months. The first was replaced b/c of defective video. No prob. The replacement has been plagued with frequent but random episodes of simply pausing. The iPod will be playing just fine and dandy, at perfect rest on the table or bed or at my desk at work, when all of a sudden it just stops playing, and I have to un-pause it so that it starts playing again. How often does this occur? It is completely unpredictable, completely random, without neither rhyme nor reason. Sometimes it will pause, I'll start it again only to have it pause a couple of seconds later. Sometimes I go through this routine two or three times in a row within a matter of 15 seconds. Sometimes it only pauses once per day. Sometimes it pauses 5, 10, maybe 15 times a day. Conversely, some days it never pauses.
I sent the iPod in after putting up with extreme inconvenience but only after I performed everything known to resolve such issues: restoring, updating, testing out particular songs, changing out headsets frequently and other troubleshooting exercises ad nauseam. I received the iPod back with the indication that "no problems were found," and the replacement unit I sent in was sent back to me. The only thing Apple Support did was to restore it, which I have already done twice. The darn thing still does exactly what it has been doing... pausing at will as often as it pretty well pleases.
I'm getting quite ill with this thing, and it doesn't help that they sent the original one back (again, my replacement iPod was sent back). I quite understand why the support team indicated that it passed diagnostics, but it is only because the device chose not to act up when they had it in their possession. It is perfectly logical that it worked flawlessly while they were testing it, only to start freaking out once it arrived back home. This scenario is liken unto the one in which you take your car to the mechanic b/c it's not working properly. It works when they have it in their shop... works as designed, but when you get it home (or drive it down the road) it starts doing the same thing. It's a gremlin that seems to be quite elusive.
I'm posting this in hopes that others have experienced the same thing, and I can learn from their experience. I'll send this thing again, but if the device still continues to operate, in Apple Support's words, "within Apple's specifications for acceptable performance, usability and/or functionality...", I'll raise this issue to ANYONE who will listen. I purchased the warranty and I would expect that Apple stand behind it, or what good is a warranty if it will not be upheld?

iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) I'm tired of having a malfunctioning iPod. Can't we all just get along?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How to create an element and doesn't want to import an entry of schema in W

Hi All,
I have a requirement where if I'm creating a variable of Element Type in BPEL Process it is importing an entry of the schema location in wsdl also. How to
get rid of adding the entry of a schema location in wsdl. So that we can have a secure webserivce.
How to acheive this.
If possible kindly share me a link on this.
Regards.
CH

CH,
As I know, when you define a variable of Element Type you do not need to attach it to wsdl. You do need an XSD.
When you define a variable of MessageType you need to attach it to wsdl.
I don't think you can avoid attaching the variable into wsdl file.

Protocol error usually indicates that the very leftmost part of the URL is not recognized.
So http://, ftp://, rtsp://, usually work.
ableton:// would need to be added by some software somewhere...
Can you get instructions from the vendor? Does these posts seem relevant:

Hi le.hamzou,
Previous suggestions were to update the Security Manager if there was one. There were also these add ons:
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fingerfox-se/ Fingerfox], but I am not sure if it will work on win8, it does on win7.
