I am trying to download photos stored on a memory stick to my imac, but two of the files are saying unreadable. Why? Are these two sets of photos never going to be copied onto my Mac? If so, how can I get them onto my iphoto folder. Desperate. Glen

I am trying to put photos stored in a memory stick onto my Mac computer. But there are two folders that will not move. I get an error message saying - volumes/FLASH DRIVE/desktop. ini - can someone help me please? The photos are from my windows computer. Please answer back assuming I am a total drip - I am a lot older than you I should imagine !! Thanks Glenys

Can you double click on them on the memory stick, see if preview opens them, then save them to your Mac?

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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. .

TS4002 All the email I had imported into my iMac (over 75) and were listed under ON MY MAC have disappeared. how can I get them back?

All the email (over 75) I had imported into my iMac from my PC and which were stored under ON MY MAC in mail have disappeared. They were there for a year. The number 75 appears behind the word "import" but there is nothing there. How can I find them?

I found them!!!! I closed out Mail and started it up again and there they were....wierd!!!!

I need my email (Mail for Mac) passwords. How can I get them? I posted a detailed question and found the OS and the problem category were wrong.

Please, someone help. I just need my email passwords. Everything has stopped working. Apple is ZERO help. I get constant dialog boxes asking for passwords. I've tried listing every password I've ever used at least 25-50 times, to no avail. Thank you. I can't even post this to an appropriate community or select an appropriate category or correct OS. Apple is totally useless.

Not sure what you are referring to? Apple Mail does not require a password. Please describe exactly what is happening, what email you are using, when the request for the password is showing up, and what the exact message is.
Cheers,
GB

I have a new laptop and my bookmarks and other firefox settings are on my mobile phone; how can i get them onto my desktop?

is there a way to sync FROM a mobile and not just to one?

Firefox Sync doesn't sync data directly between devices, it uses a "sync server" in the middle to store your Firefox data which sends & receives that data to & from individual device.
You need to set up that new laptop as a "new device", to add it to your current Sync account. See this support article: <br />

I keep trying to sync things among my MacBook Pro, iPAD, and iPhone. Usually this works fine for a few days, but then I notice that the calendars aren't syncing and the "notes" aren't syncing. How can I get them all to stay in sync?

I have a MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2.
I have an iPad 2 running 8.1.3
I have an iPhone 6 Plus running 8.1.1
I have my Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Notes set up to sync over iCloud among the three devices.
I haven't had a problem with the Mail or Contacts syncing (at least not as far as I know), but the Notes and the Calendars don't seem to stay sync'd up. I will notice that they aren't sync'ing, will delete and re-sync and they are fine for a while, but inevitably they stop sync'ing at some point. This has been true through earlier incarnations of operating systems, so not something new.
How can I get them to sync and stay sync'd?

There used to be a tab under Itunes that allowed you to select to sync things like calendar, notes etc. but this is no longer there, can anyone help?
This was removed in 10.9. You may have better luck getting assistance in the relevant Mac forum.

I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

You can transfer contents from your iPhone back to iTunes library:
First, *BEFORE you connect the iPhone, please go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPad, iPhones and iPods"*.
Then, for those songs that you purchased on your iPhone: Transfer purchases from iPod to iTunes.
For all other non purchased contents (your photos etc), their are ton of third party programs, some is free: iDump, Floola. Some is shareware, but they does preserve playlist/ratings/playcounts/artworks etc: iCopyBot, CopyTrans

As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

Move the mouse pointer to the top right corner of the Mail window and hold it there.

I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

If these were photos that were only in the Photostream folder of your Photos app, but not actually part of the Photostream itself, then the iCloud Photostream only holds the past 30 days of photos.
Use the iCloud Control Panel (if you're using Windows, download it here: iCloud for Windows - Apple Support), to see your actual iCloud Photostream.
Your device will hold the Photostream photos until they are removed, but you should never treat your device or the iCloud Photostream as permanent storage. You should be importing them to your computer on a regular basis for safe keeping.

Do you mean to import photos from iphone to computer? Is this what your doing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Looks like your syncing pics on your computer to your phone. to remove it when your phone is sync to itunes, uncheck sync in the photos tab.
