How can i repair my IPhoto. Its dark. it doesn't download any photos

If you are using Time Machine or Spotlight is indexing, turn both off first. Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Time Machine and Spotlight control both. To turn off Spotlight, drag the drive used for Time Machine if you are using it.
Try to locate the largest iPhoto Library folder in terms of size with Find Any File. Make note of the path, and quit and reopen iPhoto holding the command and option keys. It will ask you to locate your iPhoto library, which is the xml file inside the folder you had located. Navigate there and let it rebuild. Note, if you are using Time Machine and the only larger folder is on Time Machine, recover it first to your main drive, and then map iPhoto to the location on the main drive.

Launch the App Store application and log in with your Apple ID. Check to see if iPhoto is available in the Updates section.

IPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library, upgraded

iPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library. I have upgraded from an old iPhoto. I upgraded the Library also.
Everything is inside the Library I can see but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?

Everything is inside the Library I can see
Do you mean by looking into the library using the Finder?
but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?
Then iPhoto has probably opened a new, empty library, because it could not find or access your iPhoto library. What happens, whiny double-click the Library to open it directly?
Where is your iPhoto library stored? Is it in the Pictures folder or on an external drive?

This has nothing to do with your pictures. As long as LR works, nothing happens. The CC app merely has lost an entry in the installer database. Would a reinstall fix it? Sure. Is it necessary? Not really (until the next version or update). So unless you have too much time to spend or something isn't working, I'm sure you can find more interesting things to do with your tiem. Otherwise use the cleaner tool and get to it:

IMovie cannot find vidoes in iPhoto since iOS6 update. It doesn't recognize any videos and all were taken with iPad camera.

I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6. It also updated many of my apps including iMovie. After the update when I opened iMovie, I got an error message saying videos in the project couldn't be located. It then asks if I would like to search for them, which I click yes and then I just get a message that an error occurred. I have even tried to add new videos to this project or a new project and it won't recognize any videos on my iPad, or pictures for that matter. It does find music. All the pictures and videos on my iPad were taken with the iPad camera, no other camera or app.

TS1702 How do I get rid of rented movie which doesn't download?

I rented a movie a few days ago which doesn't want to download. I want to now get rid of the rented film so I have room to rent others. Does any one know how to get rid of the troubled film?

Try rebooting/resetting your iPad and see if the download completes.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work, try swiping across the progress bar on the movie download and see if the red delete button will popup. But I assume if the movie will download, you would want to watch it rather than waste the money.

How come the "do not dispose" option in photoshop doesn't have any effect on my stopmotion animations when I import them in After Effects?

Hi,
i'm trying to create an animation in photoshop. It's a sort of spiral shape that appears bit by bit.
I'm drawing different frames, but each frame is build onto the previous frame. So i don't have to redraw to part that came before the new part:
So first i drew all the different frames (yes they have transparent backgrounds). Then I selected all layers and went to window > animation.Here I made frames from all the layers and converted it to a frame animation. here I selected all frames and selected " do not dispose" because I want all the previous frames to stay visible when a new frame appears.
Then I did export >render video
file options:
image sequence: photoshop
range: all frames
render opt: straight
frame rate: 20fps
Now I get all the different layers as PSD files. After this I imported the files in after effects:
file>import >multiple files
import as: footage, photoshop sequence, merged layers
this gives me a single animated file with all the frames behind each other. But the "do not dispose" option has no effect here. I just shows all the different frames, but it disposes all previous frames. Instead of this as a final frame:
I get this:
Can someone help me with this? I'm kinda new to animation.

An image sequence is an image sequence is an image sequence. AE does not care for specifics of PS' internal animation system and that is that. I'm also not clear why you choose to import as multiple files. A simple image sequence surely would do the trick?!

Since I believe you can't create a Photo album (book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto without loosing any picture quality?

Since I believe you can't create a Photo Album (Book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto (in order to create my book) without loosing any picture quality ?

Why do you think that? You can create printed Books in Aperture with similar themes as in iPhoto, and with more options to create custom themes on your own.
See this page - http://www.apple.com/aperture/what-is.html - scroll down to see the example books.
But if you prefer the iPhoto themes and layout, you can open your Aperture library in iPhoto, if you have both the current version of iPhoto and Aperture. Simply use the command "File > Open Library in iPhoto" and you can create your book in iPhoto.
And switch back to Aperture by using the command "File > Open Library in Aperture".

How to repair corrupt MS Excel 2003 (XLS) File?

I have important MS Excel file data and unfortunately got corrupt due to virus attacks, so my crucial Excel sheet got lost, how to repair corrupt MS Excel 2003 (XLS) File? If have any solution please assist me.

A corrupt excel spreadsheet can be repaired by using Open and Repair technique. It is a built-in repair function that opens a corrupt excel file forcefully.
*Open MS Excel > press Ctrl+O > locate corrupt excel spreadsheet and select it.
*Click on the arrow shown beside Open button > select Open and Repair.
It will take just a few seconds to be completed and selected file will be opened, if possible.
Or if this doesn't work, one may take help of a third-party Excel Recovery software. I would recommend

How to repair iphoto library

How do I repair / rebuild my iPhoto library? I was having problem importing any picture into my original iphoto library, so I built a new library and was able to import new pictures into it. Now I'm trying to find out how to switch back to the old library and repair it so that I can import pictures into it. I was also having problems in the original library when I was viewing or editting any picute. The pictures would appear as blank black picture frames. I could see the photo when in preview mode (while looking at all photos), but when I double clicked into one then it would show as a black background (no picture). Any help is greatly needed and appreciated.
Thanks!!!

To choose betwee libraries:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
To rebuild:
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
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.
Black Screen issue:
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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 do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
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.)

What should I do if the iphoto keeps on saying that "Plz wait for import to complete" when i click the close button but it is not importing photos? How can I close the iPhoto? I try to switch my mac off but it doesn't work. Thanks.

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.
OS X - Support
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.

•OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Suggestions on how to use Safe Mode in article, to resolve issues, may be helpful.
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.

How do I fix my iPhoto after Yosemite upgrade?

I Just recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I had to update my iPhoto a couple of times on my external hard drive before I could view my photos. Everything looked great, same as before w/ events & everything. The next day, I plugged my external hard drive in & I was asked to do another update. Then stated that my iPhoto was empty! I did an Option + Command to recover my photos. Once it finished, it's stated that it could read all, but 760 photos. The photos that were downloaded are lumped into one event and turned into duplicates and triplicates with head shots of everybody in each of the photos. Very confusing! How do I get my iPhoto back to the way it was, complete with normal photos and events?

First, I had to update the iPhoto app so that it was compatible with the Yosemite upgrade. Then, I had to update the library 3 or 4 times. The iPhoto on my external hard drive eventually opened and had all my photos in all their correct events. However, when I opened my iPhoto on my external hard drive the next day, it said I had to update the library again. Upon doing so it showed my library as being empty. I did an iPhoto First Aide, which is open the app while holding down the Option + Command keys. The iPhoto Library First Aid dialogue box pops up & I clicked on Repair Database. After 9 hours it recovered all but 760 photos. However, the photos are in duplicate & triplicate form. Also, if there was a picture with several people in it, it created a headshot of each person & turned it into a photo. All my photos are also now in one event.
I Should add that I have an iPhoto library on the computer's hard drive & it opens & works just fine. My external has the majority of my business photos & that is the one I am having trouble with.
