HT5037 why is the link to the library updater broken??

I try to open iPhoto and can only choose between Quit and Learn More.   The latter takes me to a page saying I need a utility to update my iPhoto library and gies a download link.  Which takes me to a not found page.
Anybody else had this problem?

Thanks for your quick reply!
I have the latest version of iPhoto.  Yesterday I was able to get through to an Apple rep.  Turns out somehow my iPhoto was pointed to the wrong files for my photo library and somehow it thought I'd recently upgraded...or some such thing.
In any case, the fix turned out to be to double-click on the iPhoto library, rather than the app's icon, to start iPhoto.  Doing that once rebuilds the connection between the app and the library.
Go figure.

  • Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer (I have iTunes Match)

    Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer? (I have iTunes Match) I just want the song off my computer to be the songs I have on my phone.

    Hey there Sparkly3gs,
    It sounds like your camera is not rotating as expected in the camera app. I want to recommend starting by quitting the running apps on the phone.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    I would suggest before restoring from your backup setup the device as new and make sure the camera functions as expected. Then restore from your backup and verify it still works.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    Using Windows 7 and LR 5,  when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword.  Why does the Library Filter showing pictures that do not match the query

    Dan,
    Here's what's going on in the catalog you sent me, "Joel & Caitlin's Wedding".  There is the keyword "gwenn", which is explicitly assigned to 7 pics. But keyword "schwartz" has a number of synonyms, including "gwenn", and it is assigned to 25 pics.  There is no overlap between the two sets of pics. 
    I discovered these two occurrences by doing Metadata > Export Keywords, opening the exported file in an editor, and then searching for "gwenn".  I found two occurrences of "gwenn":
    gwenn
    schwartz
        {gwenn}
    From this, you can see that the keyword "schwartz" has 9 synonyms, of which "gwenn" is one.
    The filter criterion "Keywords Contain gwenn" will match the 7 pics that are explicitly assigned the keyword "gwenn", and it will also match the 25 pics assigned the keyword "schwartz", because that keyword has a synonym "gwenn".
    This illustrates the behavior I mentioned above: The criterion "Keywords contains x" will match against any of a pic's assigned keywords, any of those keywords' ancestor keywords, and any of the synonyms of the assigned keywords and their ancestors.
    So LR is operating correctly here, if not in a way that's easy to understand. 
    It appears that you are using the synonyms of "schwartz" to represent individual members of the Schwartz family.  A better way of representing family relationships is to have a parent keyword "Schwartz", with subkeywords for each family member, e.g. "Gwenn Schwartz", "Joe Schwartz", "Jane Schwartz", etc.  Repeating the family name in the subkeywords has a couple of advantages. LR usually only displays the "leaf" name of a keyword, so instead of showing you just "Joe", it will show you "Joe Schwartz", helpful when there are a number of different people whose first name is "Joe".  Also, if you ever export your pics to other software, it may not understand the LR hierarchy and won't show the parent keywords, so again it's more informative to see a keyword named "Joe Schwartz" rather than "Joe".

  • Why is the Amber update different for ATT and Chin...

    Why is the Amber update different for ATT and China? For Lumia 520, it could tap to unlock but, in china, this function is disappeared disappear. Could you give an expain as the matching hardware, otherwise I think it's a definately discriminatory to Chinese.

    Double tap to unlock is not available for any 520, anywhere in the world. See link below. You should always check first before making allegations.

  • Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Because McAffee pays to have their installer "bundled" with the update. It's not right, and the "blind installer" in the update (with no opt out) has been documented and reported.
    You can download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly (without any bundled installers) by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Bookmark those for future use.

  • HT201270 Why after the carrier update my phone losses signal?

    Does any one have an answer into why after the carrier update i have to turn off the LTE service to get a signal. Even after i do that i have to restart my phone.
    I even went as far as restoring my phone back to factory and works fine then i get the update for the carrier then i have no signal. My last iphone 4 work perfect never a issue.

    Well AT&T issued the update, so it would seem logical to me to contact them.

  • Why do the mac updates take a ridiculously long time

    why do the mac updates take a ridiculously long time? 10 hours? this is ridiculous - my ISP is 40mbps

    Which updates were you trying to get? If you are going to a very busy web site or server, the connections could be extremely slow. But to wait so long invites troubles.
    If the machine is terribly slow, that should be an indication some maintenance or repair may be needed first. Some keyboard shortcuts can be used to check and attempt repair, and the problem likely is in the Mac.
    Everything from the amount of RAM installed, to the total capacity of the HDD (or SSD) vs free or unused space on the drive, is important to the function of the OS X. Or there may be an issue, if the OS X checks out OK, in the internet connection. If you use wireless mostly, check the connections by wire instead.
    Try to not get into a position where you end up using 'force quit' if the computer appears to freeze up. In the process of an update or upgrade, that's almost never a positive outcome.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why is the Acrobat Updater separate?

    Why is the Acrobat Updater separate from the main Adobe Updater?
    Maybe there is a setting to change this but ever since I moved to CS5, 5.5 and now CS6, I get a seperate Acrobat Installer popup. It is a little annoying since ALL the other programs are so neatly streamlined with the Adobe Updater.
    Is there a way I can change this so ALL Adobe products are updated the same way?
    Thanks!

  • Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    I have the latest operating system, but can't get my printers added. Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.
    Regards.

  • Why is the Library 1 file?

    I recently converted to Mac and imported my photo library into iPhoto. What I don't understand is why it seemed to turn the entire Library into one massive file over 26 gigs large. It seems to totally defeat the ability to do a Cover Flow or preview in the Leopard finder and makes it harder to do things like edit some of the pictures in a different app like Photoshop or drag them into an email, etc. Seems completely anti-intuitive to abandon the folder and file structure of what was previously 14,000 separate photos (all our family pics going back to 1999).
    Why did they do it that way and is there a work-around, short of having a redundant copy of all 26 gigs of content that is not manupulated by iPhoto?

    Citivas:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
