IPhoto frustrating error..The volume for "Df23.JPG" cannot be found. It prompts for all photos with this issue rather than offering an option to ignore. I can find the images in spotlight but not in Find Photo. Does anyone have a solution

Unless you have the source files that were on the TC or Windows machine you will have to start over with a new library as follows:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Your original library will remain intact for further attempts at fixes is so desired.

The apple coloured ball keeps appearing in photo elements 13 but not in any other programme. I have the latest IMac with plenty storage and ram

The apple coloured ball keeps appearing in photo elements 13 but not in any other programme including premier elements and organiser. I have the latest IMac with ample storage and ram

I believe I have solved the problem. I have 16mb ram so I went into photo
preferences and raised to 75% what is available for photo
I also reduced the cache from 6 to 2. The last two sessions the coloured
ball has not appeared. Hope this might be usefull to others

I lost my iPhone 5 and when I use my ipad mini to search for it, it finds my mini but not my phone?

I lost my iPhone 5 and use the app find my phone using my mini pad, the pad finds itself but not the iPhone

I don't remember if I set the phone up or not, I guess I'm was under the impression that with iOS 7 the phone had a preset installed to find my phone? I'm curious whether apple has the technology to aid me in finding the phone?

Need help migrating from damaged MacBook Pro to New MacBook Pro.

My Mid-2008 MacBook Pro's logic board died and I have just purchased a 2012 Refurb MacBook Pro to replace the old laptop. I do have a backup on Time Machine but the most recent backup is about a week old. I would like to be able to do the migration using the disk in the old laptop, but it will not completely boot up and will arrive at the "forced shutdown" screen soon after it boots. Can I still connect to the old laptop using migration assistant even though I am at the forced shutdown screen? Old computer is running OSX Lion. I think the new one will have either Mountain Lion or possibly Mavericks on it. I've used Migration Assistant previously, so I am familiar with how it works. I'm just not sure if it will work in this instance with the old computer.

It looks like it did change. (We're talking about 5 years ago and at least 3 operating systems ago), but I do remember that the instructions for Migration Assistant back then said that on the old computer where you just needed to access the drive, you had to hold down a key or keys when after hitting the power key. This will allow access by the new computer to the harddrive in the old computer without the need to boot up, basically making the old computer an oversized harddrive enclosure.
It worked perfectly when I did it with my old iBook which would not even get to the gray Apple logo, but the MacBook was able to fully access the drive, allowing me to migrate the apps, fonts and work files stored on it, including my entire iTunes library.
like I said earlier, if this is no longer the case, than removing the drive from the old computer and inserting it in an external drive is the next best way to go. Of course, having a fairly recent backup on Time Machine should also work.

If still no luck, try a low level format of the iPod using Disk Utility and the instructions provided in this article.

Yes the original Install Discs can be replaced for a nominal fee. Call AppleCare, you will need a credit card and the serial number of the machine. You can use the AppleCare Contact Info for the phone number on your part of the planet.

HT4889 Can I choose what to migrate from one mac to another mac?

Can I choose what to migrate from one mac (Powrebook G4) to another mac (New iMac)? I do not want everything to be migrated, as some programs are not compatible with Mountain Lion or an intelIntel mac!
As it is a brand New iMac I would also like to keep it clean of unnecessary files that have become imbedded in the Powerbook over its time.Therfore it would be nice if I can pick and choose what is to be transferd. If you can give me a heads up on if and how it would be appreciated!!!
Thanks

Thanks for your input!… I have now come across an Article from Apple
Migration Assistant tips and tricks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3231?viewlocale=en_US
Controlling what is migrated
With Migration Assistant you control the data that is migrated from another Macintosh computer. By clicking the triangle next to a user's name, you can select which User Accounts to migrate and choose which folders to migrate. You can also choose whether to migrate Applications, Network and Computer settings, or Volumes. Migrating only what you need can reduce the time it takes to complete your migration.

I have followed the Apple Support instructions I did it 3 times and this message always appear: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" and 'Error 7' but still not able to run iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion... Please!

I have followed the Apple Support instructions but these 2 errors always appear: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" and 'Error 7' but still not able to run iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion?

Try completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all related components; you may need to do this multiple times. It won't normally affect the iTunes library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Need help with G4 to Mac Pro Migration!

After buying my 2.66 GHz Mac pro, i followed the instructions as to how to start up the G4 in "Target Disk Mode" for migration. Was completely useless.
Whether clicking the button in the "Startup Disk" prefs, or holding down 'T' and restarting, i got the same results: My G4 system would restart but before anything appeared on the screen, it shut down and stayed.
I've been searching all over these forums and doing a lot of reading and experimentation. It sound like a lot of people aren't having good luck with the migration wizard anyway.
II did finally manage to get the Mac Pro to log onto the G4 with a cross-over cable. But i need to transfer a tremendous amount of data both from my primary account on the G4 and 3 non-boot internal drives.
Having to go through a public folder isn't going to cut it. .MAC isn't either.
Is there some way i can link up the two systems such that i can retrieve what i want from the G4's drives (without spending additional money).

Efforts to make "Target Disk" mode function didn't seem to go anywhere.
I did at last figure out how to get access to disks all disks on my G4 from my Mac Pro, however.
For those who may need to know it required these simple steps:
{1} I connected both systems to a hub (or DSL router in my case) via ethernet. Connecting the two machines with an ethernet crossover cable also worked, but of course my access to the internet was then unavailable.
{2} Opened TCP/IP in Network prefs on both machines and set them up identically according to my ISP's instructions, as always, but with differing IP addresses.
{3} Under the Services tab in Sharing preferences i checked the box to enable "Personal File Sharing"
{4} I then chose Connect to server... {command-K} in the Finder on the Mac Pro and entered the LAN IP address of the G4.
{5} At the login prompt i entered my G4 main account login & password information.
{6} When the window with my G4 system's name came up and asked which disk(s) to mount, i selected all of them and clicked { Ok }.
Presto. The G4 main drive, my 2 disk raid, my 4th disk, and my home directory all popped up on the Mac Pro Desktop.
