HT2638 I am using OSX 10.8.5 with iPhoto 11. I have damaged my iPhoto library and am unable to open up my library with iPhoto. When I use 'open package contents' with the library, I can see that all my photos are there. Can I rebuild the events?
I have tried the option + command button while opening iPhoto but this has not helped.
Your next step would be tp try rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager and 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 connect my mic with an M-audio mobile pre usb device. When I try to record, I can see that my voice is recording but can't hear it during playback. I tried different input and output settings but it didn't help. Any help will be appreciated.
Hear your microphone or instrument as you play and record (monitoring)
You can hear, or monitor, input from an instrument or microphone in GarageBand while you play and record. When you turn on monitoring for a track, you hear the musical instrument or microphone connected to the track’s input. Monitoring lets you hear yourself play so that you can hear the part you want to record as well as the rest of the project.
You can turn on monitoring for a Real Instrument track or Electric Guitartrack from the track’s header, or in the Track Info pane. Electric Guitar tracks always show their monitoring buttons, and you can show monitoring buttons for Real Instrument tracks using a menu command. You can use monitoring with feedback protection to avoid feedback while you play.
Hide
To turn on monitoring in the track header:
Choose Track > “Show Monitoring for Real Instrument Tracks.”Monitor buttons appear in the headers of Real Instrument tracks. On tracks with monitoring turned on, the button lights yellow.
Click the Monitor button in the header of the track you want to use.
HideTo turn on monitoring in the Track Info pane:
Double-click the header of the Real Instrument or Electric Guitar track you want to turn on monitoring for.The Track Info pane opens.
From the Monitor pop-up menu, choose one of the following:
Choose Off to turn off monitoring. You can hear your instrument only while you record.
Choose On to turn on monitoring and protect against feedback.
Choose On (no feedback protection) to turn on monitoring without feedback protection. If the input level is too high, it may cause feedback (especially if you are using a microphone and listening to your project through your computer speakers).
For an Electric Guitar track, you can view the Monitor pop-up menu by clicking Edit, and then clicking the back side of the amp. The Monitor pop-up menu appears with the input controls below the stage.
You should usually turn off monitoring when you are not playing or singing. When monitoring is turned on, your computer can pick up output from your speakers or monitors, causing unwanted feedback. Using headphones rather than speakers to listen to your projects can help eliminate feedback.
If you select your computer’s built-in microphone as the audio input, in the Audio/MIDI pane of GarageBand preferences, monitoring is turned off for all Electric Guitar tracks to avoid unwanted noise.

I have iPhoto 11, version 9.4.1 installed. When my library upgraded, I got a message that the photos couldn't be inported and I need to repair iPhoto permissions. How do I do that? My photos are there, but I can no oonger drag them to the photo stream.
Disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's preferences and then go back and reenable it. See if that will jump start the process. If that doesn't help try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto check its preferences to meka sure all is as you expect and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

re: Migrating my IPhoto from Time Machine Backup to my just-installed Snow Leopard OSX... the program is there, all my photos are there..... but my photos had all been neatly arranged in folders, and there is absolutely no sign of my folders. What a mess, 20,000 photos. How can I restore my folders?

Then open the library with iPhoto. No importing necessary.

How do I synch my iPad 2 to my Address Book so that all my contacts are reproduced? I'm having difficulty find the place and directions for the iiTunes Store.
This is selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.

I asked on another website and got this answer:
– Quit all apps.
– Press command shift G.
– Type
~/Library/Containers/{not this}com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes
and then click "Go".
– Drag "NotesV3.blahblah" to the desktop.
– Rename "Notes V2.blahblah" to "NotesV3.blahblah"
So it brought me to the Notes section in the finder. So there are three files: NotesV3.storedata , NotesV3.storedata-shm , NotesV3.storedata-wal Then there is a folder called Backups. In there are similar file names saying V3 but they start with a date (when I made the update?).
Which files do I move? Nothing seems to say V2...
Let me know if you need any extra information, I'm pretty lost. Thank you so much!I take it you didn't read the warning prior to updating the phone. It said that you need to backup before upgrading. You have two ways. 1) load apps off your old computer. 2) Download apps one at a time. Your apps are still tide to your account and you will not be charged.

this means i can't attach photos from iphoto to emails for example, how can I remedy it?
Of course you can, just remember that iphoto replaces the finder. It's the manager for your photos.

IPHOTO 6: ALL MY PHOTOS ARE GONE, CAN ANYONE HELP?
Hi,
I hope someone can help me on that.
I run iPhoto 6 and use an external drive.
I unplugged my firewire while iPhoto was on and since then I have a square with an exclamation mark but can't find any of my numerous pictures.
I tried to locate the photos on my external drive but can't.
What should I do recover my pictures?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
StefanHi Terrence,
Thanks for your answer.
I do have an Ext Disk iPHOTO library folder but cant find the pictures I am looking for, it is not in the my pictures folder either.
Yet, when I am on iPHOTO and click on one of these squares with an exclamation mark I can see the size of the pictures so it must be somewhere, I tried to export them but it doesn't work.
Anything I can do to retrieve my pics?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Can flv files be different and kinda awkward, if their produced in older or newer version of flash video encoder? Or anyoher software programs that can convert to the flv format?
If so, have any of you folks come across an easy way to fix?
Kind Regards,
Boxing BoomYes, I'm not sure if it's still common, but for a while different programs didn't add certain meta data to the encoded file, so you wouldn't know how long it was etc... The way to fix has mostly always been FLVMDI: http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/

someone please help i went to a concert and took tones of videos and pics but then when i got home my camera role was full so i looked on icloud and saw that everything has been saved on there so i didnt worry about deleteing all of my videos and photos but then when i did that ( always the way it goes ya dont reolize until its to late :@ ) all my videos wont play they have almost just turned into photos. you see the start image like on camera role thing but you cant click on it to play the video
this is on my iphone 5 by the wayWelcome to the Apple Community Diane.
I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll. -
Are there significant changes in the UI framework between 5.2 and 2007 ?
Hi,
As the UI framework got introduced in 5.2 . Are there significant changes to the framework between 5.2 and 2007.
Therefore could a developer with experience in 5.2 carry out developments within the UI framework for 2007?
These developments need to be carried out to integrate a third party solution .
Regards
ManbirHi Manbir,
have worked with 5.1 and 5.2 before switching to 6.0.
I did not notice many changes in the framwork. Most of it still seems to be ICWC anyway.
- SAP has added some new BAdI's,
- there seems to be a lot of additional logic regarding webservices
- there are some new UI gimmicks (Move Assignmentblocks, Configuriation directly in the client, sortable tableviews, etc.)
- the designlayer (did not notice it before)
- component enhancements (I believe they were there in 5.2)
- editable overviewpages, i.e. extensive use of the view_group_context
So yes, when you have done 5.2 before, you will know your way aroung most things and be better off then 90% of the people starting with 6.0 -
I'm deeply worried. About to digitalize my entire CD collection, but can't continue until this problem is solved, or i'll risk slowly loosing my music. Song by song. Discovered the problem while browsing the Itunes library, when I realised that for example song number 2 and 11 was missing from one album, and 4 and 7 from another album. Very strange. When browsing the when I found lots of people experiencing the same. I'm using the 2011 Macbook Pro, and the Itunes library is on the Macbook Pro harddrive.

I need internet explorer 5.5 or greater in order to use an online course. I can see that there isn't a mac explorer update but is there another way? I tried the wine bottler app and it didn't work for me.
Buy and install Windows.
Then you have IE
Of course you can always do as I do when some idiot, usually with the government, tell me I need to IE. I say no. After saying no enough times they mail me a form.
I don't believe in Microsoft.
