how do i get iPhoto to stop bothering me with Mobile Me Migration windows when everything's already on my hard drive?

Click "More Info", not "o.k.".
Then open the iPhoto Preferences "Accounts" tab and remove the "Mobile Me" account, if it is still there.
Quit iPhoto.
Check, if "Mobile Me" is still enabled in the System Preferences > Mobile Me panel (if you still have this panel). if yes, sign out.
Log off and on again.
Test, if iPhoto still is bugging you to transfer your Mobile Me content. If yes, you need to delete your iPhoto Preferences from your User Library.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
And also remove the file
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto/mmsunset.plist
from the Caches in the User Library - this file contain the end date of Mobile me.

How do I get iPhoto to stop asking to merge MobileMe Albums?

How do I get iPhoto to stop trying to merge MobileMe Albums? I don't have any! I never did!!! The problem is that each time I open iPhoto it wants to merge something that doesn't even exist.

When the "mobile Me" alert panel appears, select the "Learn more" button, not o.k. Ignore the web page that will open,
Then open the "iPhoto preferences > Accounts" panel and remove the Mobile Me account.
Also open the System preferences , go to the "Mobile Me" preferences and sign out of Mobile Me.

How do I get iPhoto to stop pulling from two photo streams?

My iPhoto library is saved on an external hard drive and I've opened it on 2 separate macs and each mac has it's own separate account linked to it, now my iPhoto is pulling photos from 2 separate photo streams. How do I fix this?

First be sure to have a current backup copy of your iPhoto Library. Next go into the System/iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Photos checkbox:
Next, go into iPhoto's iCloud preference pane and uncheck all checkboxes:
Close iPhoto and reboot your Mac. Then return to the System/iCloud preference pane and check the Photos box and do the same in the iPhoto/iCloud preference pane, i.e. check the 3 checkboxes shown in the screenshot above.

How do I get songs from itunes match on my ipod classic if the songs are no longer on my hard drive?

I synced my I tunes to Match a few weeks ago, and I then deleted the music from my hard drive. I just bought an ipod classic 160g and I cant get it to sync from my library now, even though all the songs and playlists showup on my computer sitll (and play) from match. I have the hardrive space to download the 150gigs of songs, but I'm not sure if thats whats need, or even how to get everyting back on my computer now so that I can sync it.
Help Please!

The actual files must be on the computer HDD to be synced to an iPod Classic. Syncing of that model of iPod will not work if the files are not there.
If you are going to re-add the files back to your library the best way to do it is to restore from the backup you made before you deleted all the song files.

How to I get iPhoto to stop opening in fullscreen mode?

Every time I open iPhoto, it opens in fullscreen mode. It's as if there is a setting that has been set for it to do it(though I've checked the settings and there's no such thing). I usually exit fullscreen mode in the usual way and it cooperates, but then sure enough, the next time I open it up, it's in fullscreen mode again. Additionally, perhaps it is linked to this problem, everytime I open iPhoto, it tells me that "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your[my] library" and that I should "click Repair to avoid any potential problems". I've clicked repair numerous times but it still gives me the same message the next time I start the program. I've tried deleting the iPhoto plist file and that has not helped either.
Another side note that may be similar is that Terminal always opens in fullscreen just like iPhoto.

Alright, I fixed the problem!
A more in depth description of the process, some credit for its origins, why it works, and how else you can use it can be found here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17269094#17269094
But basically, you do the following:
1. Navigate to "~/Library/Saved Application State/"
2. Find "com.apple.iPhoto.savedState"
3. Move it to the Trash
4. Launch iPhoto
Also, to solve the issue involving "Repairing" the Library, I had to navigate to the file "iPhoto library" (in ~/Users/dro8654/Pictures) and edit its "Sharing & Permissions" preferences such that only MY user was allowed to "Read & Write"
This discussion was what helped me with this:

How do you get iPhoto to STOP "UPDATING"?

I am getting worried that the new 9.3 is totally messed up. It asks you to upgrade, but then it never finishes upgrading. You just get that never-ending spinning spokes.
I have this on my MacBook Air. That photo library is minimal, but I am worried that it will torch my main photo library on my iMac. Yes I have backed up stuff, but this is a MAJOR pain because that's about 11,000 to 12,000 photos.

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.
If that fails:
Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again

How do you get iPhoto to stop autocropping/zooming photos within a frame?

I have hundreds of odd shaped images and I don't want to have to manually "fit to frame" hundreds and hundreds of images?
Can I turn off the autocropping or zooming function so Apple uses my actual picture dimensions? Or at least is there a way to batch "fit to frame"? Thanks for any help! Scrapbook we must deal with issue all the time.
Cheers,
Lorili

If you're referring to iPhoto books and photos in the frames on the page there is a Fit Photo to Frame Size option. Command (right)-click on the photo on the book page and select Fit Photo to Frame Size from the Contextual menu:

How do I get BT to stop harassing me with their li...

I have just returned from Afghanistan to find, (among the huge pile of mail) no less than 5 letters from BT trying to get me to sign up to their upto 20Mbps broadband. I have also recieved 3 voice calls in as many days, telling me that I can have upto 20Mbps. How can they say this when they know full well (as they have not done any work to my exchange), that even if I lived at the exchange, due to the lack of 21cn upgrade, the most will be 8Mbps. False advertising straight away. Also, with 4 miles of copper between me and there, 1Mbps is all but unreachable, yet they still say that my line will give me 2.5Mbps. More lies. I know that they lie to get you into a contract, but how do I stop them constantly sending out letters and phoning me. I have asked them to stop, but they say that as I don't have an account with them, they have nothing to link the note to, so if I want them to stop, I have to have an account. I have no intention of ever returning to BT as they have left us in the dark ages and will do for the foreseeable future. Is taking them to court for harassment the only way to stop them contacting me all the time or is there another way. If the only way is to take them to court, I will make sure that it gets maximum press coverage so that anybody else who has suffered at the hands of this poor excuse for a telecoms provider can also take action.

Nah, dealt with him before. He is only prepared to help if it will make him an overnight profit of millions, otherwise he couldn't care less. I'll just speak to a solicitor about whether I have a legal case against them or not, and if I do, I'll take Ian Livingston personally to court, after all, he is the boss and therefore responsible for actions of employees acting on behalf of the company.

How do I get iPhoto to publish an album with both pics and movies in it?

The built-in link to iWeb seems to assume either:
(a) I have lots of pictures, but no movies, or
(b) I have ONE movie, and no pictures.
This is kinda frustrating.
I expected there to be some easy, clever, way to one-click publish an album with a mix of pics and movies.
Is there a check-box someplace I don't know about? Or a HowTo?
Thanks in advance!

Hi bdm105!
Most likely, this is happening because the Album Artist field is different for each song from Random Access Memories. We have an article about song grouping in iTunes, and it can be found here:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468
There are a couple ways to fix the information listed for Random Access Memories outlined in that article, but I want to point out one here:
Albums in which all songs don't have the same Album Artist information
iTunes 7 and later includes a new attribute for song files called Album Artist This allows you to assign a primary artist name for an album that many includes songs by several artists. It is important that all songs in the album have the same Album Artist name. To assign an Album Artist, select all the songs in the album and choose Get Infofrom the File menu. Next, type a name in the Album Artist field name such that it will apply to all the selected songs. This field can optionally be left blank if all the songs have the same album name.
The Album Artist field is shown in the above picture, but it is not highlighted. You will also want to make sure the Track Number field contains the correct information for the album, and information on that field can be found here:

How can I get iPhoto to use external email instead of built-in email when sharing photos by email?

I really dislike the fact that emails are now sent from within iPhoto rather than via launching the external email client. It is much less flexible. Is there a way I can set iPhoto to use my Mac mail instead of its built-in email?
Thanks
Elisabeth

Yes. Iphoto menu -> Preferences -> General Pane:
Email Photos using: and select Mail from the dropdown.

How can i get Iphoto to import from iPhone with ios6

Since upgrading, mi iMac reports iPhone pictures (which are correctly JPEG) are in a wrong format

You can't. The bookmarks.html format doesn't contain the Tag data. You need the JSON bookmarks backup format to have the Tag data, but restoring that file format overwrites any existing bookmarks you may have saved. Also, the JSON format doesn't currently have the Favicon (website image) data as the Firefox bookmarks.html format does.

How do I get iPhoto to use my Mail address book and no Themes?

How do I get iPhoto to stop themes and use mail to share my photos?
I have corrected this on another system (iMac and MacAir) but do not remember how I did it.

Make sure you have the latest version of iPhoto (v9.1.3). If you installed from a disk or it was already on a new Mac, then run software update. If you bought on the App Store check there for updates.
Then check the General Pane of the Preferences

HELP!!! Message - (One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) How do I get this to stop?

I bought a new Sony Vaio Laptop running Windows 8, 64bit, i7 processor. Everytime I open iTunes and then close out, the following message occurs: (i-tunes message - One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) Then it starts counting down from 20 seconds unless I just click on the (Quit) button. How do I get this to stop? Please be specific, I am challenged when it comes down to computers.
Thank You

This was extremely annoying for me, also. I started uninstalling unneeded Sony applications to try to narrow down the problem. It turned out not to be a Sony application... it is some functionality built into the bluetooth driver software package by Broadcom. Uninstalling the bluetooth package (via the control panel) takes care of the problem. Itunes also boots up way quicker. But uninstalling it will remove features related to bluetooth and nfc. For me, that isn't an issue, since I don't use them. Since you said you're "computer challenged" I would probably just send an email to sony complaining about the problem. They'll get in touch with Broadcom eventually (the manufacture of the drivers) and get the problem fixed.
Side note: the Broadcom package is huge... nearly 1GB in size. Which is crazy. I can't imagine what it does considering the size of it. Entire operating systems can take up less storage. Also, I have no idea how it starts an itunes plugin without placing it into the standard plugin directories.
