I can no longer see my pictures.....the screen is white boxes but when I click on the box an exclamation point pops up. Please Help!!!!
The exclamation point occurs when iPhoto breaks/loses the file path to the original file. So try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot AND
the option to rebuild the small thumbnails.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I can no longer see anything in the "Manually Added Songs" field when managing music on my iPhone4. why?
If you are using iTunes Match, your songs are long gone.
iTunes Match is now a streaming service, with no regards to letting you download individual files.
Otherwise, I'm sorry for wasting your time. -
I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto: "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?iPhoto 08?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. -
I can't fit my wallpaper on the lockscreen on my iPad iOS 7 please help???
i can't fit my wallpaper on the lockscreen on my iPad iOS 7 please help???
Yeah, no one can. You can go into general > accessibility and turn on reduce motion which turns off the parallax effect, and helps slightly. But as of now, it's literally impossible to scale your wallpaper properly. Glitch or Apple just being completely dumb, I don't know. It's really annoying either way.

Took some pictures they showup in my photos but when i click on them there white?
Took some pictures they showup in my photos but when i click on them all i see is white?
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use 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.

How do I sync my iPod to iTunes? I've used the final steps from Article HT1329, but when I open my iPod there is no "iTunes" folder. Please help!
Ah I see. That folder would only be there if you had perfomed the earlier steps in that section.
Recover media from iPod
See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.

I have tried to download iOS7 but the iTunes keep asking me to upgrade iTunes version 11.5 and my one is 11.5 so when I clicked it says no update available. Could you please help me? many thanks.
Hi bodeboni!
You will probably want to download the newest version of iTunes (iTunes 11.1) directly from Apple and install it on your computer if you are having issues updating. The link for the download can be found here:
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

10.6.6 - upgraded and now can no longer see files on the desktop
I upgraded to 10.6.6 and now I can no longer "see" any of my files that are located on the desktop. However, I can see the files in Finder. Anyone else experience this?
Also, I can no longer drag files to the desktop and the right-click contextual menu no longer appears when I right-click in the desktop.

I successfully transferred my itunes to another PC, when I click on most (not all) songs, it tells me to authorize the computer, I authorize it, it says this computer is already authorized, but when i click on a song, it tells me to authorize again. help
Are the songs authorised to the same account?
Often people change their e-mail address over time, and also decide to set up new iTunes account names using that e-mail. You can (and should) continue to use an old e-mail address as your account name. Then you don't run into the issue of having different songs authorised to different accounts.
To check the authorised account for the song, click "Get info" on the song name in iTunes. It will show the account name in the Summary panel.
If you have set up multiple accounts, log into each one, and burn the songs to CD as audio tracks (i.e. like a normal CD, not a data CD). You can then re-import the files into iTunes without the authorisation embedded into the song. -
Please help me fix this issue.
I assume this is due to the fact that system detects your internal monitor as default one, and that is there where system sends main data. In order to force system send data to the external monitor, get a mouse and physical keyboard, close MB lid, and then press any key on the external keyboard.
when you get there, go to system preferences/display, and manually move the Apple upper bar to the external monitor, then choose mirror; ultimately, set optimal resolution. -
Email header is present but I can no longer see any of the message.
The content of read emails sometimes disappear. The header is still present but when clicked there is no message in the email. When this happens it effect all existing read emails in the inbox. How do I restore these.
I shifted over to Outlook which I don't like!!!!
I I tried the above suggestion and only the shows the emails read okay on webmail so they are not corrupted. The original emails were okay when they first we downloaded. the latest 10 emails were all okay but all those prior to that the content had disappeared.
At present I have been Thunderbird and Outlook. Thunderbird is retaining the content apart from having one further incident on Thunderbird with a content has disappeared.
Very frustrating I don't like Outlook I want my Thunderbird back. -
I am running Logic express 9 on a 2008 Macbook, (non pro). Anyhow, logic has always seemed to work great for me. However, last week I opened up one of many existing projects, (I'm in sample editor). When I went to add a new plugin to one of the channel strips it would not allow me to. Also, if I click on any plugin that already exists on the channel strip it dissapears? The strange thing that also happens weather I click to add a new plugin or click on an already existing plugin, is both the "repeat section" and "crop", buttons from the above menu (in sample editor), the actual buttons become a faded image,(as far as the actual font and images of the buttons). As soon as I am done clicking to add a plugin on the channel strip, both buttons from the menu go back to looking normal like all of the other choices from that menu? I really don't get it? All I want to do is to be able to add plugins as well as edit or change plugins again. Any thoughts as to why I can no longer add any new plugins to any channel strips? And why any existing plugins disappear from the channel strip when I click on it? Why the "repeat section", and "Crop", buttons from the menu above fade in and out when I try clicking on the channel strip is very strange? I don't mind that I just want to be able to add or edit plugins again. I did do some document cleaning up last week as my memory was getting low. I then emptied out my trash bin. I'm hoping I didn't accidentally delete some kind of Logic component? Why can't I add or edit plugins anymore? Anyone ever run across this?
Thanks,
Mike.Mike,
Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer. Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected. It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated. -

My reminders to pay bills no longer shows up on the right side of my computer. Please help!
I had a application on my computer, I do not know where I received it from, but it would tell me when certain bills were due. It would be reoccuring all through the year. It no longer appears on my lower right hand task bar. Please help!
Was this program in Firefox, or was it a separate Windows Application? If it was a Windows application, I'm afraid there isn't much I can do to help, but we can see. Try to restart your pc.
