I desperately need help!

Since installing iT9 my files are all mixed up. My music files are held on an external 500GB disc. As a consequence of installing iT9 I decided to sort out the files which iT seemed to have mixed up. I then decided to set up a new library in the hope of resolving everything. When I tried to create a new library no files appeared in iT even though I specified where they are in Preferences. So I decided to add the files to the library. I chose one small section of files and everything went fine, however when I tried to add more files iT said it couldn't add all of them because of a lack of space. The music files take up 450GB of the 500GB. iT has added some 1000 files and the disc is now full. BUT, I can find no evidence of any file being duplicated, everything shows up in Finder as before but the disc is full! Can anyone tell me what is happening? I need help to sort this out.

10 minutes after posting this cry for help I suddenly realised that there was only one place the duplicated files could be - THE TRASH!
Clear the trash and carry on adding to the library.

  • Desperately needs help burning DVD from iPhoto

    I am using iPhoto 6.0.6. I desperately need help burning a DVD of a slide show that I created for my daughter's wedding.
    I put several songs together by opening them and then combining them using QuickTime Pro. I imported the audio into iTunes and created a slide show using iPhoto. The slide show is perfect! The slides are finally in sink with the music just as I want them! But I don't know how to burn the slide show as a DVD.
    I tried exporting the video from iPhoto to my computer, but at the end of the export, I get this message: please note that the music included in the slideshow can only be played on authorized machines. And when I try to play the video (after the export), most of the music on the video cannot be heard. When I try to authorize my machine, I am told that it's already authorized.
    If someone would send detailed instructions on how to proceed, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Greg

    Is your problem the DRM audio tracks you purchased from iTunes store?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

    I cannot send.  I have been at this for hours and hours and hours.  Here are the details.
    my mail server however is s1.sistercompany.net
    I can receive email just fine.  I can also send mail just find having set this up on my iphone and also in thunderbird (which i hate hate hate hate hate hate hate, which is why I am desperate to set up mail)
    The settings in thunderbird are as follows:
    Servername: s1.sistercompany.net
    port: 465
    Authentication method:  normal password
    Connection Security:  SSL/TLS
    However, I just can't get this to work in Mail.  When I write an email and hit send I get a popup that says:
    Cannot send message using the server s1.sistercompany.net
    The certifcate for this server is invalid.
    Now, my tech guy says yeah the certifacte is invalid because you are going through sistercompany server, there should be some way to just accept the certifcate anyway (but he has never used mail before).
    So I have serached around and come up with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11706
    Which tells me to use the verify certificate dialogue, which I would do except there is no verify certificate dialog.  Any thoughts?

  • Screen has cut out, desperately need help!

    The screen on my iMac has cut out. It has happened before and I have had to restart the system to get it back. This time however that hasn't worked. I have booted up the system and can access the files using a second machine via ethernet and the screen did come back briefly when I pressed the ctrl ket before going blank again. I am pretty sure it is not a hardware problem but desperately need a suggestion to help recover the situation.

    When I start the machine the screen briefly goes white after the startup chime then goes black again. The same thing happens when I do command-R. The system continues to boot up and I can access the files from my other machine. On two or three ocasions the screen has momentarily come on when I have touched a key or the mouse. For a brief second everything looks OK then it is gone again.

  • Range Expander not working .. Desperately needed HELP

    I just bought the wireless expander yesterday. At first, i followed the instructions which came with it. As my network is WPA-enabled, i insert the CDrom to start the utility. Everything went well and the utility was able to find my network and the wireless expander. My network had a boosted range after that.  However, after one of my family members accidentally pressed the auto configuration button, everything went haywired.
    I tried to reset the wireless expander and start the utility again. However, this time,  the utility wasn't able to find the wireless expander.I tried it over and over again , to no avail.
    I came to this forum and realized that quite a lot of people are facing the same problems as me. I followed the solutions as stated. I was able to get 2 blue lights lit after that. However, my laptop kept prompting something abt ip (can't remember the exact words) And i can't used the internet at all. I went on the forum and found the solution to it. I did what it says but it's still the same. So i decided to reset the wireless expander and at the same time taking note of the ip problem.
    However, after i reset the wireless expander, whatever i did wasn't able to get the 2 blue lights lit. I have been at this for 6 hrs and on my way to madness.
    Can someone help me out here?
    My Modem : Motorola ( Can't remember the exact model)
    My wireless router : NetGear WGR614 v5
    My wireless expander : Linksys WRE54G v2
    What i did :
    1) I connected the wireless expander to my laptop using an ethernet cable. Thus, getting a lan connection.
    2) I changed the static ip address of it
    IP -- 192.168.1.155
    Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
    Default gateway -- 192.168.1.1
    3) I was able to access to http://192.168.1.240
    4) I changed the settings
    ok -- here's the problem ..
    When i run cmd --> ipconfig /all --> i get ip: 192.168.1.137
                                                                   subnetmask : 255.255.255.0
                                                            default gateway : 192.168.1.1
    When i went to my wireless router settings it was  IP : 222.164.18.197
                                                                       Subnet mask : 255.255.248.0
                                                                       Default gateway: 222.164.16.1
    I do not know which one to use , so i tried both settings. For the 1st one, everything went fine , until after the power cycle. The blue lights still did not lit up .
    For the 2nd IP , i can't even get the webpage to change my settings.
    I have tried a combination of things. Set the SSID to the same as my wireless router SSID . I have download the firmware and yet when i tried it , all 3 trys were used and nothing happened.
    I have tried doing this over and over again , looking for a step that i might have missed , but i think that i have reached my wit's end..
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

    MINdReAdEr, yep you are in trouble with the unit. The WRE54G does a good job but it can be quirky to set up. When I bought mine from Amazon, i went first to the Customer reviews for info and I there found the right way(s) to install the unit. First of all, of course, forget about the CD instructions. Too frustrating when they start to backfire. ************************************ Better ways - got from Amazon (in fact, go there and search for WRE54G and see all review): ************************************ 1. The one below outlines easy installation if your network/wireless router are on the SAME SUBNET AS THE WRE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, i.e. 192.168.1.xx 279 of 285 people found the following review helpful: It does what it's supposed to, once you can set it up, August 1, 2004 By Anthony Taylor (Sherman Oaks, CA) - See all my reviews If you're having trouble setting it up, definitely call the 800 number as opposed to going online. I tried with three different people through their website online and none could help. Right before I sent it back I decided to try phone support and it got the expander a reprieve. I've copied some instructions that Y.A. Escalante was kind enough to leave in his review, but corrected and elaborated some of the items based on my experience. I would've given this 4 stars, but I deducted 1 for it not having clear enough instructions with its initial shipping. (Would've saved Linksys some headaches) Here goes: 1-Disable WEP on your Router or AP 2-Hold the auto-configuration button for 30 seconds(if everything goes well both lights on the expander will turn blue) and unplug while still holding button. Plug back in after 10-15 secs. 3-open your Internet explorer browser and type 192.168.1.240 (default ip of expander), a window will pop up. leave the user name blank and put admin as a password (this is default password). 4-make sure that the default gateway and subnet mask settings are identical with your Router or AP,change password on the expander if desired & save settings. (all settings should be correct due to auto configuration) 5-Enable WEP on the expander, once again remember use same settings as in your Router or AP, save settings again. 6-Go to your Router or Ap settings and enable WEP. Bang you're DONE. Enjoy Hope this helps some of you...if not call the 800 number on the box and be patient. ******************************** 2. The one I put together with help from forums and amazon customer reviews applies to cases where the Router and the network are on a DIFFERENT subnet than the WRE out of the box (mine for example is 192.168.0.xx), and also when you want to install the WRE WITHOUT doing anything to the wireless router on your network (I like that!): 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: WRE54G: as usual w. Linksys product, installation is rough, January 16, 2007 By Roger J. Thomas "WirelessInn" (ZUNI, NM United States) - See all my reviews I am getting to think that I buy Linksys products just because I am getting used to their idiosynchrasis - i.e. the products' installation instructions are basically somehow flawed (even though I am sure they work if one makes a few adjustments to what the manuals say!) I must also say that product reviews by users on Amazon.com are an excellent source of technical info/help. My setup consists of a Satellite (Hughes) internet service with corresponding modem, feeding into a WRT54G Linksys Wireless Router which in turn is connected via cat5 to a Desktop and wirelessly to a Dell Laptop. I have to mention that the range of the WRT54G (a stock v.5 unit) is very good as it is. I want to use the WRE54G to extend range. 0. DO NOTHING to your wireless router (mine is a WRT54G - see above) - leave Router's IP address/channel alone and encryption (WPA or WPE) in place if you are using such protection. That's what I like about those steps: no disruption of the wireless network's settings in use! Also, my wireless laptop is at WRE54G install time in range of the Wireless Router. NOTE: That Laptop can actually be any computer. Preferably however one normally used as wireless unit on the network including the Internet connection>B'Band Modem > Wireless router > and now the WRE54G. 1. Change the IP of that computer/laptop you are using to setup the WRE54G if needed - i.e. if that computer's IP (from the local LAN NIC, not the wireless card) is on another subnet than 192.168.1.xx. Use something like 192.168.1.1 for example. This is necessary to access the WRE54G's internal web screen (default: 192.168.1.240). Disable wireless on the computer you are usng to set up the WRE54G. 2. MAKE SURE that your internet connection DOES NOT at this time do through a proxy - mine normally does (Satellite Internet provider=Direcway/Hughes - proxy server advised/required). You have to dig really deep into Linksys EsyAnswer/KB site to even see that suggestion!! Momentarily disable proxy server in IE > Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings. I.e. the wired LAN connection you are using to set up the WRE54G must not go thru any TCP/IP proxy. 3. Power up and connect the WRE (I have version 3) to that computer's newly re-IP'd LAN port (the WRE54G comes with a short cat5 cable). So, at this point, BOTH the WRE54G and your LAN connection are on 192.168.1.xx subnets. 4. Just to make sure that a LAN connection has been established, ping the WRE thus connected. Should return satisfactory result. (Again, the computer wireless connection should be disabled at this point) 5. Access the WRE's web screen via 192.168.1.240. Screen should come up. Defaut PW is of course admin at this time. 6. And now we are ready to enter specific information pertaining to your own wireless network, as follows: a. Enter - if necessary - the IP address you want the WRE54G to have on your wireless network - to be on same subnet as Wireless router used for your wireless network. My network is on subnet 192.168.0.xx: I set the WRE54G on IP address 192.168.0.240. b. Same with subnet and gateway c. Check mode (mixed/b or g only) d. SAME CHANNEL as the router e. Enter new SSID and enable/disable broadcast - same settings as Wireless Router's. 7. Now it is time to select/enter Wireless Security settings for the WRE54G: actually exact same settings as your Wireless Router's. 8. Change the WRE54G password while you are at it! Save settings and that's it! Finally unplug the WRE54G from power outlet AND LAN connection to the computer used to set up the Extender; locate/power up the WRE54G somewhere appropriatly a bit away from the laptop, in range of the Wireless Router, and in sight from the wireless laptop for initial testing (just so you can actually see if the blue lights come on: they should in the following sequence - top blue > top red/bottom blue > both blue if everything is OK.) To initially test-drive everything, I placed the WRE54g about 30ft from the Wireless Router and 20ft from the wireless laptop (which I make sure still connects to the Wireless Router.) 9. Now re-enable the wireless connection on the computer used to set up the WRE54G. Experiment with the new connection with the WRE54G. It should kick in as the stronger connection right away (if you are CLOSER to the WRE54G then the router). You'll see that when you are connecting to/using the WRE54G to connect to your Wireless Router, the signal strength is indeed higher. In fact, if you can run NetStumbler (free wireless detection software) and thus run a Site Survey, you'll see that two APs show up, same network SSID (i.e. the Wireless Router and the WRE54G, now considered as an AP itself). Of course the WRE54G will show much stronger signals. 10. Then if all is OK, experiment with placing the WRE54G as suggested otherwise - i.e. at the periphery of the wireless range obtained by just using the Wireless Router. 11. Seems to work so far. I do not otherwise detect loss of signal or b'band speed. This thing does work. I have placed the WRE54G in many different locations and I am truly AMAZED at its range extension potential. NOTE: I assume that in case of presence of signals from BOTH the Wireless Router and the WRE54G at a given location (since both devices are on same channel/SSID/Protection scheme), one might have to reset the wireless connection on the remote(s) laptops (or to reboot) to allow it(them) to pick just one (the stronger of course) connection. I was looking all along for a way to set up the WRE54G without having to go thru the rigamarole of changing other settings elsewhere on the network, using the dreaded Install CD or other cumbersome procedure! As I change my encryption WPA code often, I'll just have to change that info in one more device (besides my WRT54G and the Linksys wireless bridge WET54G - another excellent, not cheap Linksys product which i recommend also and which I use to make my Sat internet service available to another building on my business premises). Simple enough however! Note: you can also use that device to allow a web access to a computer that does not have a wireless card: plug the WRE54G into elect outlet, make sure that the unit is in range of the wireless network, connect a LAN cable from the WRE54G to the card-less computer, and voila, ths computer can get online. **************************************** Hoping this helps! - Roger T

  • I Desperately Need Help - Can't Boot my iMac

    Greetings Everyone. My apologies for making my debut on this board with a desperate plea for help but I think I just killed my iMac right in the middle of an important project. I'm accessing this board with my laptop PC (and you know I'm in a bad way when I have to revert to anything PC!)
    I was trying to move some photos from iPhoto onto a CD. One photo would not move - computer said it was 'busy.' I couldn't delete it or anything so I force quit to see if I could start over.
    The machine did reboot okay, so I thought perhaps I should try to restart in in OS9 (Im using 10.3.8 or 9 (can't remember and can't boot to confirm.) because I read somewhere that sometimes rebooting in OS9 will correct whatever has 'hung' in X - for lack of a better description.
    Well, that's when it crashed. When I try to boot it the entrance sound makes its bong and the the light blue screen comes on and just sits there and does nothing, no matter how long I wait.
    I tried to force boot it by holding in the start button until the list of instructions came on the screen. Tried typing mac-boot as instructed, and nothing happened. I tried three times. Then I tried shut-down and it did shut down.
    That's as far as I can get. I hold in the start button until it makes a beeping noise, then it bongs, then the blue screen comes on and just sits there.
    Have I fried my machine or is there any hope?
    Can you tell I'm just about frantic???
    Thanks for your patience. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in a fairly remote rural area with no Mac dealers within 200 kms - so I'm really stuck on this one.

    Tried a few more tricks and finally got it to boot.
    I held down the P R Apple & Option keys and waited for the second chimes. Nothing happened.
    I disconnected everything but the mouse and keyboard and tried rebooting again.
    Lo and Behold it worked.
    I think the HP printer cable might be faulty, but don't know for sure what is actually going on.
    This whole problem started because my printer suddenly died. I tried to remove then reload the software but kept getting the message that no device was attached, even though it was.
    So I decided to save all my hard drive info onto CD's then reload the system software. Everything came to a halt when I couldn't delete the 'busy' image.
    So for now, I'm back in business. Whew!
    If anyone has any idea what on earth is going on I'd sure like to know. Do printer cables just go bonkers for no reason? And why would an image from iPhoto be 'busy' when I tried to delete it. Is that image doing something naughty that I need to know about?
    I think I need a nice cold beer!

    Just arbitrarily setting profiles is useless without actually calibrating your devices, it's as simple as that. You need to read up on how to do proper color management and possibly even buy a suitable calibration device.

  • Desperately need help with installation

    Right, so I bought the student pack for the Creative Suite5 Design Premium.
    The first of my problems came when I was trying to install acrobat 9. The problem was that halfway through verification, the setup wizard said that Windows Installer needed to be closed for it to finish verifying, which is really confusing because it was Windows Installer running the installation i nthe first place.
    So I tried installing the Design Premium suite itself, I was informed that the minimum requirements were not met for a number of products. I deselected the ones I did not need until I was left with adobe photoshop cs5 and adobe indesign cs5. Both of these did not meet system requirements, even though I did a check on this website itself for the requirements. I found that I actually exceeded the minimum requirement needed so I still don't understand why the installation won't work.
    I am an art student doing digital painting so I would really appreciate swift help. This is a really frustrating issue.
    Thanks.

    Could you please post your machine configuration, OS, RAM, Processor details and resolution on which you are installing. Please post PDApp.log file from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Temp\PDApp.log
    and ignore all the warning messages and try installing. These are just kind of warnings and does not stop installation, if any application does not support the environment, that particular application will have trouble working with.
